like... No, but it was. It was more money. It was like, you know, I was like, OK, this is a different side. You've never seen. 00:03:14 Speaker 5: But you didn't get the metaphor. There's only one verse because she's a mom. She's so busy. You can't two verse. 00:03:19 Speaker 1: I like that. You're a dad, so you understand. I understand. I have no verse. 00:03:24 Speaker 2: Yeah. 00:03:25 Speaker 1: OK. All right. So but there is another verse. Yes. 00:03:28 Speaker 2: Yeah. 00:03:28 Speaker 3: I wasn't going to leave it like that. 00:03:30 Speaker 1: Yeah. Cause it just felt incomplete. I was like, nah, she can't do that to us. And that was the only grape I had. Cause I told you when you walked in, I said, I got a bone to pick. That was the only bone I had to pick. But how are you feeling though? 00:03:39 Speaker 3: I feel good. I got a grape with you. 00:03:42 Speaker 2: Seems like that's running in the family. 00:03:44 Speaker 1: Yeah. First, first wet got a grape with me. Then he got a grape with me. All right. So now I'm on it. What's the grape? What'd I do now? I'm on it. What did I do? 00:03:51 Speaker 3: Where my crowns at? 00:03:53 Speaker 1: Your crowns? Yes. What you mean? 00:03:55 Speaker 3: You used to be leaving like. 00:03:56 Speaker 1: Oh, money bags? Oh, the money bags. 00:03:58 Speaker 3: And my money bags too. My emoji is the crowns, but I ain't got no crowns. I ain't got no money bags. I ain't got no... Was it the pregnancy? 00:04:05 Speaker 1: No. 00:04:06 Speaker 2: I think that's what it was. 00:04:06 Speaker 1: Oh, shit. I think that's what it was. 00:04:07 Speaker 3: I think that's what happened. 00:04:09 Speaker 1: That's what happened. 00:04:10 Speaker 4: Yeah, they started editing, like, because he used to come flooded with the money bags. 00:04:16 Speaker 3: Then he used to be like, then it came like a few of them. 00:04:19 Speaker 2: You wanted to respect everything that was going on. 00:04:21 Speaker 1: You understand? So when you became a mom, it's like. 00:04:23 Speaker 2: She had none of that on her IG, by the way. 00:04:26 Speaker 5: I didn't know you had a kid until I listened to the record. 00:04:28 Speaker 1: No, she did. Yeah. 00:04:30 Speaker 4: Like I drop her, but I feel like I know my demographic and I know how I am. Like if I follow somebody, even like before I got pregnant, like if it was people that was going through life changes, whether it was weddings, marriages, or babies, it was like, I can't really relate to this. 00:04:46 Speaker 3: So I'ma just. 00:04:48 Speaker 1: Cause I know, I know women y'all do this thing where y'all will stockpile photos of right before y'all get before y'all start the show i didn't. 00:04:56 Speaker 4: Actually but i feel like i stockpile photos anyway just because i be so in a moment with a lot of stuff by time i get the post and everything and then you know too like i'm from the hood so we never really post in real time anyway just for safety reasons so i think a lot

of the times i just had pictures that you know but a lot of the pictures i was pregnant i just wasn't showing at the time How. 00:05:16 Speaker 1: Was how has it been with motherhood now as far as like, you know, you're scheduling and trying to still record and get projects done and meet deadlines? Like how tough has it been? 00:05:27 Speaker 4: Um, it'd be tough sometimes because I've never been like a structured person. I've always kind of been fly by the seat of my pants type of, you know, vibes. And with a kid now you can't just wake up when you want to. You can't just like wait till the last minute to leave or. 00:05:43 Speaker 3: Anything like that. 00:05:43 Speaker 4: You have to be a lot more structured. So it's taught me that. Um, and then just even with balance, like balancing instead of just spending all this time over here, like maybe like, you know, spending more time with yourself. 00:05:55 Speaker 1: Or, you. 00:05:57 Speaker 4: If you write in it, you got to, like, live and experience certain things. 00:06:01 Speaker 1: You threw that in there. If you write in it. I mean... Now, hold on now. You slid that under the... The message was beautiful, but you made sure to get that if you write in it. 00:06:12 Speaker 3: Well, because, like, you know. 00:06:15 Speaker 1: People don't be writing. We can say it. 00:06:17 Speaker 3: Yeah, it's not a secret. People don't be writing their stuff. 00:06:19 Speaker 4: But I think that you have to live and experience life in order to be able to say what you're about to say with conviction. So I think with me, in my experience, I do have to kind of be in a space where I want to create. 00:06:34 Speaker 3: And sometimes. 00:06:35 Speaker 4: You'd be so busy living life that you don't really have anything to create. Sometimes you're still processing things. Sometimes you're still going through things and you don't even know how to say it. And then, like I said before, I'm getting used to being able to talk about my life in real time and real personal things. 00:06:53 Speaker 3: And so I think.... 00:06:55 Speaker 4: With that, the balance for that is still something I'm figuring out. But I talk about before or just like a lot of just getting in a gym and being consistent with that and then letting that like ethic bleed off into how I record, how I like set stuff up and just being consistent, just showing up. 00:07:13 Speaker 1: So being a mom put a different type of structure in your life. 00:07:16 Speaker 3: Oh, 1000%. Like it made me like, oh, okay. Like I got to grow up. 00:07:20 Speaker 1: Life is real. Yeah. 00:07:22 Speaker 3: I got to like grow up a lot. 00:07:24 Speaker 1: Yeah. That's dope. 00:07:25 Speaker 5: How was that like presented to Griselda? Because it is still a business at the end of the day and there's no like maternity leave structure for the music industry. 00:07:35 Speaker 3: Yeah. 00:07:35 Speaker 5: So what was that process like telling everyone that you work with? Like, hey, just to let you know, I might be out of commission for a little bit. 00:07:43 Speaker 3: They found out on social media. 00:07:49 Speaker 1: All right. 00:07:49 Speaker 2: Hold on. 00:07:50 Speaker 1: Hold on. Hold on. So you didn't tell the guys. I was scared. Of what? 00:07:57 Speaker 4: Because like, I look at them like my big brothers. And so it was like, I didn't really know how to say that. 00:08:04 Speaker 3: Like, I know how to tell them. I was even like. 00:08:08 Speaker 4: Dealing with anybody, let alone, you know, telling them like, oh, and by the way, I'm pregnant. 00:08:13 Speaker 3: Surprise. 00:08:14 Speaker 4: So it was just kind of a thing, like not even intentionally, but just like. 00:08:20 Speaker 3: You know, everybody had their own stuff going on. I'm still processing it. 00:08:23 Speaker 4: I'm still trying to figure out like what I'm going to do and how I'm going to like function myself. So it was a thing of like them finding out kind of when everybody else did. 00:08:31 Speaker 3: I mean, I did. I waited a long time to tell my mama. 00:08:34 Speaker 1: Like, really? 00:08:34 Speaker 3: Yes. I just I don't know. 00:08:36 Speaker 1: What did mom say? How did she say? I'm sure she was happy. 00:08:40 Speaker 3: She was happy. Like, my mom been wanting me to have a kid for the longest. She been, like, training for grandma for forever. Like, even with my dogs. Like, I would get a dog and then I would just, like, send it up to New York with her. 00:08:51 Speaker 5: Yeah. 00:08:51 Speaker 3: Like, and she'd be like, this my grand puppy. 00:08:53 Speaker 1: Right. 00:08:54 Speaker 3: Like, so. 00:08:55 Speaker 1: Which really means... hurry up and give me a grandchild. Yeah. 00:08:58 Speaker 3: But I'm like, you got grandchild money, you got grandchild time. Like that's, it's a lot. 00:09:03 Speaker 1: Yeah. 00:09:03 Speaker 3: And I'm the only child, so. 00:09:05 Speaker 1: Oh, so, oh yes, she was definitely waiting for that. 00:09:07 Speaker 3: Yeah. 00:09:08 Speaker 1: She was definitely waiting for that. So how did the, how did the guys, like what was their initial reaction? 00:09:13 Speaker 3: You know how they be. They be like, oh, word. 00:09:17 Speaker 1: Why do we all act the same way? We all the same way. We all the same way. That's crazy. That's crazy. Yes. You having sex? You having sex? 00:09:26 Speaker 2: Like, what you doing? 00:09:27 Speaker 3: Yeah. 00:09:27 Speaker 1: Yeah. 00:09:28 Speaker 3: So everybody just thought I would just be in a booth all the time. 00:09:31 Speaker 1: Yeah. 00:09:32 Speaker 3: Or, you know, at work. And so, I don't know. It was good, but it was love. 00:09:36 Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah. Naturally. 00:09:37 Speaker 3: You know, it's love. 00:09:39 Speaker 4: And now I understand like how much like because Wes is very family oriented. Like so I understand now like where he's coming from, where it's like he bring the kids with him on trips. He'll have those times where it's just like I'm

locked in on family. So now I totally understand that. 00:09:54 Speaker 1: Yeah. So now you're from Buffalo originally, born and raised. Yeah. And then you moved to the carolinas. 00:09:59 Speaker 4: Yes i went to school in durham initially north carolina central university and. 00:10:04 Speaker 1: Educated yeah right what did. 00:10:06 Speaker 4: You study um so when i first went in i'm not gonna lie i um me and my friends had a pack like we was all gonna be nurses okay but i am horrible at science and math so once i took the entrance exam for that i was like oh yeah hell no i'm not doing this So then I just went in as a CIS major because at the time I was like, OK, well, like I used to know how to do my MySpace page real good and stuff like that. So I could code. And that was like. A different language. And so then I remember going to my advisor, like once it's time to pick your classes and stuff like that. And he was also my marketing teacher. And he was like, you can sell ice to Eskimos. I feel like, you know, marketing is good for you because if you can market yourself, you could do anything. 00:10:49 Speaker 1: Right. 00:10:50 Speaker 3: And then once I did that, it was like maybe a year and a half. I was like, OK, bye. I'm about to go market myself. 00:10:56 Speaker 1: Yeah. 00:10:57 Speaker 2: Were you rapping at all at this point? 00:10:59 Speaker 1: Yes. 00:10:59 Speaker 4: So I got we were in a group called Buff City, me, Conway and Benny with DJ Shea. 00:11:07 Speaker 1: And so rest in peace DJ Shea. 00:11:11 Speaker 4: Um and so i used to be in school and i used to come back and forth to buffalo so we used to do shows or like i used to get on songs i did my mixtape and also ninth wonder was my um hip-hop and context teacher so then like i remember bringing him my mixtape bath and body work and i ain't gonna lie it was very raunchy it was at a time where it's a great title for a project though bath and body fire that is fire. 00:11:34 Speaker 1: And then the marketing behind that. 00:11:36 Speaker 4: Yeah so like um He was just like, you know, you can spit. Like, you are a spitter, but, like, as your teacher, I can't really do nothing with this right now. 00:11:45 Speaker 3: But, like, you just keep working or whatever. 00:11:48 Speaker 4: And so, like, I was always doing it, but being in North Carolina now, and I'm from Buffalo, and I don't know nobody, I had to kind of, like... run up my own like kind of like brand so just going to the studios where I knew like everybody would be at and like blocking out studio time like so everybody would be like well damn who in here you know but not letting nobody come in my studio sessions or just even going up to the radio stations like you know here go my record play my record or you know how much it's gonna cost to get it on the radio or on the mix shows and stuff like that like I had to literally build my own brand from scratch down there. And so that's how, you know, Armani Caesar kind of was built. And then once West, Benny and Conway started, you know, Griselda and they needed a first lady, it was like, it's only right we go get this. Cause you know, she, we already know that she spit her own shit. We already know that she, you know, she got the look, she got it. She really bought her bag. Like it only makes sense. 00:12:42 Speaker 1: So. No, it definitely, you know, made sense. And obviously all y'all being from Buffalo. Yeah. Talk about just coming up in Buffalo. And what's one of the biggest misconceptions? Because you've obviously moved to the Carolinas and traveled. What's one of the biggest misconceptions about Buffalo that you've felt or like kind of seen? 00:13:02 Speaker 4: People just think that it's country like, oh, it's up north. It's not really New York. And granted, it's not like a big city. 00:13:11 Speaker 3: It's just like a big hood divided up into smaller hoods. OK, but it ain't like the country. It ain't like no cows out there or nothing like that. 00:13:19 Speaker 4: People be thinking like they be sleeping, but Buffalo is like, Buffalo is kind of like, you know. 00:13:24 Speaker 1: Yeah. No, it gets crazy. It turns up in Buffalo. 00:13:27 Speaker 3: Oh, for sure. 00:13:28 Speaker 1: 1,000. 00:13:28 Speaker 4: It definitely turns up in Buffalo. But I feel like most small towns is like that, though. 00:13:33 Speaker 1: When you travel, and I talk about this all the time, when you travel, no matter where you go. Mm-hmm. It's like you can see the similarities. Like, oh, okay, this is... Yeah. Like, I'm from New York, and this feels like Brooklyn. 00:13:45 Speaker 4: Yeah. 00:13:46 Speaker 1: Or this feels like, you know, the Bronx and Queens. Like, we all have the same... Especially when we all from the culture of hip-hop. 00:13:53 Speaker 3: Yeah, for sure. 00:13:53 Speaker 1: We kind of like, you know, we listen to the same things. Slang is different. Accent is a little different. But essentially, the hood is the hood. 00:14:01 Speaker 3: Exactly. 00:14:02 Speaker 1: So, you know. 00:14:05 Speaker 1: I want to get into like when you first, the Liz, the first, was it the first project? 00:14:12 Speaker 2: 2020? 00:14:12 Speaker 1: 2020. Yeah, 2020. And that was a year me and Roy would talk about during the pandemic. We got a lot of great music that year.

I think I had the blue one, too. 00:15:25 Speaker 5: Yeah. 00:15:25 Speaker 1: I think the blue one is still wrapped up. That shit been gone. 00:15:28 Speaker 2: Do a re-up so I can buy another one. 00:15:30 Speaker 4: Listen, I need to do a re-up so I can get one because I don't even know where my Liz hoodies is. 00:15:35 Speaker 3: Like, I only got the Liz, too, now. 00:15:37 Speaker 1: Now, you had one, I think, when y'all did, I think you did SOBs. Mm-hmm. You had one hoodie that... That was crazy. It was like, it was like cropped, I think. I was looking at that shit all night. I was like, I ain't gonna lie. She put that down anywhere. That's going to grow legs. That's going to grow legs. No, for real. 00:15:55 Speaker 3: Every time people come over, they always in my closet. Like, I need a hoodie. 00:15:59 Speaker 1: Did you have any, now we know Isaac, shout out to Isaac. He actually, he did this, but did you have any input on... the artwork at all? Or this was something you just saw and it was like, oh, no, let's run with that. 00:16:08 Speaker 3: No, that was Wes. 00:16:10 Speaker 4: That was Wes like seeing a vision with like calling it the Liz and just even like commissioning Isaac to even do the artwork for it. I was, you know, new to it. Like, I didn't really know like what we was going to do with it. And then because it happened so fast, it's like, I got signed at the top of 2020, but then the pandemic, like everything shut down a week after I got signed. And so even with me, there was no rollout. There was no press release. There was no, like, we couldn't do no run, nothing. Like when I first got signed. And then months and months started to pass. And he like, all right, we need to work on this record, you know. And I was scared to leave the house. I had got COVID like at the top of the year. 00:16:51 Speaker 3: So I didn't really, you know, want to leave my house at a certain point. 00:16:55 Speaker 4: And so I was like, all right, I'll give you a week. I'm gonna come down there. I'm gonna drive to the A. I was in Charlotte. So I'm like three and a half hours. I drive down to the A or whatever. And I threw my boutique stuff in the back, in the back seat. Like, cause I'm like, I'm gonna still work while I'm here. And I'm gonna just knock this project out. And then I ended up knocking it out and like, And it was a cycle of like he would come in. 00:17:21 Speaker 3: We was in what is called the five. 00:17:23 Speaker 4: So it's like his house or one of his houses and in the basement is like real like just gutters, like a green light in there, graffiti on the walls, like artwork up or whatever. And it's just like the perfect like environment for that kind of music. And so I just used to be locked in. And so he would come down and be like, let me see what you're going to do on this. And I would be like, okay, cool. And when I first got signed, because of how I look, you know, the Griselda fans, they was like, well, she's supposed to be the cheerleader. Like, so I, um, you know, I was like, all right, I'm going to show everybody that I'm barred up. Like everything, you know, the little C's, um, Verse had just kind of dropped or the song had just dropped and they was like, okay. So she rapped, but Conway or Benny probably wrote that for her this time. So I was like this project, I got to. 00:18:15 Speaker 3: Show and prove. 00:18:16 Speaker 4: And so every beat that he gave me, I'm just like, I just want to come just like the nastiest. Just like, I just want to say whatever I want to say. Like, you know, countdown start off, like me talking about cutting the nigga balls off and all types of shit. Like, so, um, With that, once I completed what I needed to complete as far as like the rapping portion of it, I did. And then he kind of just went into his genius bag and kind of just put everything and curated everything together or whatever. Like even down to the Simply Done record. I didn't know that that was a Primo beat because it didn't have no scratches on it or. 00:18:51 Speaker 3: Nothing when I did it. And then he sent it to me and I was like, oh, my God, like. 00:18:57 Speaker 1: Whole different vibe. 00:18:58 Speaker 5: Yeah. 00:18:59 Speaker 3: I was like, okay, okay, okay. 00:19:01 Speaker 4: Even the mixes sounded trash because it was just like, you know, I just was recording. 00:19:05 Speaker 3: So nothing was mixed. 00:19:06 Speaker 4: Everything was super dry when I left. So then when I finally heard it as a project, I was like, oh, okay, I get the vision. And so on the second one, now I'm picking my own beats because I know what I want to rap on, but I also know what the Griselda fans want to hear. And so it kind of like grew from there. Still with the artwork being commissioned by Isaac, of course, because it's just like, works it works you know um and that's a trilogy that i want to continue like you know liz three definitely like seeing the artwork for that that's fire yeah so um i just think um it was just a great like collab like him doing his art thing him you know seeing the vision and then also me kind of like just bringing what i had to it. 00:19:50 Speaker 1: Right. Yeah. 00:19:51 Speaker 5: I remember when Wes posted that photo of y'all like announcing the entire thing. And I remember the comments because by 2020, Griselda had, they had their core fan base by that point. 00:20:02 Speaker 2: Yes. 00:20:03 Speaker 1: Yeah. 00:20:03

Speaker 5: Obviously they were still on the rise, but they were very much established in 2020 and had the boys club. It was a lot of fellas at the show. When did you feel like you got accepted by that core fan base? 00:20:17 Speaker 4: Um, I ain't gonna hold you. It wasn't until probably like Liz 2. Just because again, there wasn't a lot of things that we can do to kind of put me out there until like the second Griselda tour. And so like, even like my first like couple of shows, it was like... I was, of course, nervous. But then you know how the gazelle the audience is. It's not like y'all are hearing a whole bunch of music you dancing to. And so a lot of times when you go out there, the people is just staring at you. 00:20:48 Speaker 1: They looking. 00:20:48 Speaker 4: Or they may be bobbing their head, but I was expecting what I see at other concerts. And so I remember telling Benny, running back off the stage or whatever, and I was like, they hate me. 00:20:57 Speaker 1: It's like... No, they don't hate you. It's just that that audience is not like, who is this pretty girl that came out? We in here on some grimy hip hop shit. 00:21:07 Speaker 4: And then here she come. But he was like, also, he was like, they listening to you. He was like, they don't do. He was like, they do the same thing to me. He like, you know, where I thought like, you know, they was just like... giving me the stone face but it's like they listening because they are lyrical people so they're listening to what you're saying ain't no backtrack behind you so they're actually making sure that you got your you know your breath control and they listening to what you're saying so i was like okay so once i got that and then i learned more crowd control then i was able to like kind of win them over but yeah i was i was shook All right. 00:21:39 Speaker 1: So the interesting crowd to perform. No, it's one of the toughest. Like even as like, you know, Benny and Condé, obviously, you know, people know those songs. But when you go to a Griselda show. 00:21:50 Speaker 2: Yeah. 00:21:50 Speaker 1: It is literally just a lot of like. standing and staring at the guys. So I can imagine you walking out on that stage for the first time and they just sitting there like. 00:22:00 Speaker 3: What the fuck is happening? 00:22:01 Speaker 1: We don't even know what she's... What is she about to say? 00:22:04 Speaker 5: Especially with new shit or like when they're touring the project for the first... Like now, 97 Hov goes crazy. Because it's been years and everyone knows every lyric. Mm-hmm. When you first going out there to the Griselda crowd, yeah, you're going to get a lot of just hoodies staring back at you. 00:22:17 Speaker 1: It would be funny if Armani's content was like, shake that ass content and you went out there. Imagine Armani coming out. I think she should do that. You know how funny that would be? All of these hip hop niggas in the crowd standing there on some barred up shit and Armani come out. talking about let's shake something. 00:22:39 Speaker 5: Yeah no just just flipping west side gun ad lib to make like a miami bounce record yeah just take his booms and just yeah double time it. 00:22:45 Speaker 1: I'm not amani don't do that don't don't do that that ain't gonna go over too well please don't do that um. 00:22:53 Speaker 5: I mean speaking of the guys obviously that they're they're all family and family businesses family business family fights but we would be remiss not to ask conway just posted on instagram that they're no longer family obviously the He put a freestyle out a few months ago. 00:23:07 Speaker 2: There's been back and forth that we've seen publicly. 00:23:09 Speaker 3: Yeah. 00:23:11 Speaker 5: So obviously, you know, we reacted to it because we are fans. Where do you stand just internally because you are so close with. 00:23:17 Speaker 1: All three of them? 00:23:18 Speaker 4: I mean, I think like this isn't the first, you know, spat that they've had. 00:23:24 Speaker 3: This probably won't be the last one. You know, at the end of the day, like you said, like they're family and family fight. They go through things. Unfortunately, this was kind of brought more public. 00:23:35 Speaker 4: But I think it's a thing where they all love each other, even if they don't necessarily be, you know, on the same page a lot of times. 00:23:44 Speaker 1: But. 00:23:45 Speaker 3: They all going to ride for each other at the end of the day. 00:23:47 Speaker 4: You know, I see it and I'm like, you know, I hate to see it, but everybody kind of just, you know, they go through their things, but I think it's not nothing that they can't get over. 00:23:55 Speaker 2: Yeah. 00:23:56 Speaker 5: Does that, do you hesitate in who you reach out to when these things happen or you just feel like you have your separate relationship with all three of them and that's y'all shit? 00:24:04 Speaker 3: Yeah. 00:24:05 Speaker 4: I feel like I've always had my separate relationship with all of them just because it's three completely different personalities for one. 00:24:10 Speaker 3: So they all kind of deal with things differently. in their own ways. 00:24:15 Speaker 4: So the conversations with them do be a little bit different, but I think they all pretty much be saying the same thing. Like when we talk and they all say the same thing, you know? And it's just, again, is a thing of them just figuring things out. And this is the first time we've had this platform. This is the first time that we're all here. And I think everybody is kind of navigating their own situations in their own ways, you know, but they all have things going on. They all, you know, now have their own teams, their own everything. And I think it's just a thing where I feel like everybody should just kind of, you know, chill on, chill on just saying stuff publicly, but also just like figure it out. 00:24:56 Speaker 1: Yeah. We've been trying to, well, I've had

personal conversations, you know, behind the scenes and it's just tough. Like you said, when things are put on the internet because we see it and naturally we're going to react to it. Yeah. But as somebody that's so close to the situation and obviously being family, have you felt like it's affected any of the business for you? With them not kind of being on the same accord, like was the energy different when everybody was more together versus you being in the studio now getting ready to put out this project? Do you feel like more of a divide and like more of a disconnection when it comes to just creating? 00:25:34 Speaker 4: Um, well, I do feel like it was a different energy, like when we were all doing the Griselda tour together, because it's fun. It's like literally being around family. So I don't like that aspect of it. But I do feel like in this season, this is a project that like I had to show and prove for myself. And, you know, everybody was able to like kind of create on their own. And I feel like now is money season to be able to create on my own and create my own team and create my own team. you know, my, my merge, my everything, you know, like it's time for me to grow. And so I don't necessarily focus on having to use them as a crutch or have to use them to like, you know, lean on all the time. It's like, okay, now it's time to put your big girl drawers on and woman up and learn your own business, learn your own, you know, how are you going to set your own self up? You know, so that's where I'm at with it. 00:26:22 Speaker 1: But you, you, you were, you are a business owner though. 00:26:24 Speaker 3: Yes. 00:26:25 Speaker 1: And you were running a business. So you kind of have that, like experience already and now just applying it to what you want to do as far as music? Yeah. 00:26:33 Speaker 4: I mean, I think with my business, it was a little bit different because it's the music industry is just so different from like running a regular business and going into it. I kind of let, you know, the guys and everybody else kind of handle that. So a lot of things never crossed my desk until now that I have my own situation. 00:26:54 Speaker 3: And now I'm trying to, you know, do everything on my own. And I'm like, wow, I didn't know that. 00:26:57 Speaker 4: I had to deal with these or like clearances or how that works or how budgets are allocated. These are all things that I'm learning on my own, which I'm grateful for because now I see the importance of why you should, you know, do certain things or why you shouldn't do certain things. 00:27:11 Speaker 1: Right. 00:27:12 Speaker 4: So, um, I have the same work ethic as I did, like having my own business, but learning the music business is completely different. And so again, this is something that like just every day I'm learning something new. 00:27:26 Speaker 1: Yeah. 00:27:28 Speaker 5: Outside of obviously having a child, why four years? 00:27:34 Speaker 3: Well, I think. 00:27:37 Speaker 4: It was two years between Liz one and Liz two. I think the process... had a lot to do with me not having my own team. Even during my press runs, I would always either borrow somebody from the guys to help be. 00:27:52 Speaker 3: My- Which is what you're supposed to do. 00:27:54 Speaker 4: Yeah, but also I think a lot of people come into this game with a team already behind them and you got to think about it again. It's like, I'm running a business and preach out. I'm running a business. I got a personal life and. 00:28:07 Speaker 3: I'm doing music. I'm writing my own music. 00:28:10 Speaker 4: You know, by Liz too, I'm picking my own beats and my own producers and, you know, just doing everything. 00:28:17 Speaker 1: On my own. Say it again, Imani. You writing your own music. 00:28:19 Speaker 3: I'm writing my own music. 00:28:20 Speaker 1: Say it again. Yeah, now they need to hear that. Yeah. 00:28:22 Speaker 4: And so, you know, it takes a lot of time, a lot of thought that goes into that. But also putting things together isn't just as smooth as me making a call and saying, hey, I want to do this. It's now me curating everything. You know, I write the treatments for my own videos. I'm my own stylist. A lot of the times, you know, putting literally everything together. And so a lot of burnout can happen in between those times because it's like if you're doing everything, you are one man band. Then now it's all on you. And sometimes, you know, things may happen with your business. Things may happen in the music. Sometimes you just are fatigued and don't really have anything to say when you do get to the studio. So I think that like all of those things compounded with now. being split, like with having a baby, you know, the budget is split. The, you know, your brain is literally split. You're thinking for a whole nother person now. And just, you know, I went through a lot just in my personal life with, you know, having a kid and, you know, me and my child's father. And so there were a lot of things that were going on that I just had to learn how to like get through first and you know, time don't win on nobody. 00:29:31 Speaker 3: So it was just a thing where it was like one year turned to two, two years turned to three. 00:29:35 Speaker 4: Yeah but I was always kind of like working on it um but actually like putting it together was just like now yeah have you. 00:29:43 Speaker 1: Found yourself like being a mom now like with your music have you found yourself being more emotional Yes. 00:29:51 Speaker 3: I cry at the drop of a dime now. 00:29:53 Speaker 1: Rory does too. 00:29:54 Speaker 5: Same. 00:29:55 Speaker 1: I'm surprised he hasn't cried yet. 00:29:57 Speaker 3: It does something to you. 00:29:59 Speaker 2: I'm going to ask a few questions and get there. Don't worry. 00:30:01 Speaker 3: I want to save it for the end. It does something to you. 00:30:05 Speaker 4: It's like, I don't know, it just opens up an emotional box that

just never closes. 00:30:10 Speaker 1: Yeah. 00:30:12 Speaker 4: There was a point in my life where it was like I was very stoic and very kind of just like it is what it is or like I was like just easily unbothered just by whatever. 00:30:22 Speaker 3: And now it's just like everything matters. 00:30:24 Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. 00:30:26 Speaker 5: I mean, more clouds. It's not just crying. Well, joy is times 10 is like it opens every emotion. 00:30:32 Speaker 3: Yeah. 00:30:33 Speaker 2: Not, you know, crying is just the most obvious one. You're not a crier. 00:30:36 Speaker 5: But yeah, it makes you happier, too. Like, yes, it's a joy that you haven't felt before. What's been your favorite part of motherhood so far? I know it's a super open-ended question, but. 00:30:46 Speaker 3: Ah, man, just everything. 00:30:48 Speaker 4: Just the reality of being a mom. It's so crazy because, like, now my kid is about to be three in April. 00:30:57 Speaker 3: And I still have days where I'm like, damn, I'm a mom. 00:31:00 Speaker 1: Yeah. 00:31:02 Speaker 2: We the adults now. 00:31:02 Speaker 3: Yeah. 00:31:03 Speaker 4: And we're just like, who the fuck are you? Like, I wake up sometimes like, dang, I got a daughter. 00:31:09 Speaker 1: Yeah. 00:31:09 Speaker 3: It still don't click to me sometimes. 00:31:11 Speaker 4: And so just like seeing a person like with your face, like my baby looks just like me, especially like when I was her age. 00:31:21 Speaker 3: My personality a lot of the time. And just, just. 00:31:27 Speaker 4: Being able to see a person that just love you so much. 00:31:31 Speaker 3: I'd be like, dang. So I think those are the things that really be like, ugh. 00:31:37 Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah. 00:31:39 Speaker 2: Is there specific mannerisms that she has? 00:31:46 Speaker 4: I know sometimes when I was feeling really sad or if I just was having a day, she'll just come over to me and she'll be like, hug. 00:31:54 Speaker 1: Mm-hmm. 00:31:55 Speaker 3: And I'd be like, dad, like, what? 00:31:57 Speaker 1: Like, you can cinch that. You can cinch that. You're going through it right now. 00:32:00 Speaker 3: Right. 00:32:01 Speaker 4: Or just, like, she'll just want me to, like, she'll want me to pick her up and then she'll just, like, grab my tics and just give me a kiss. 00:32:07 Speaker 1: Yeah. 00:32:08 Speaker 3: And I'd be like, oh, man. 00:32:09 Speaker 4: That's beautiful. 00:32:10 Speaker 1: That's really beautiful. 00:32:11 Speaker 3: Ah, brother. 00:32:11 Speaker 1: Right. And then I got to go in the booth and tell them about cutting balls off. See, that's why you can't cut the balls off. Look what comes from the balls. 00:32:19 Speaker 3: Well, I ain't going to hold you. It turn you into a beast, too, because I don't play by my key. 00:32:22 Speaker 1: Right. 00:32:23 Speaker 5: Yeah. 00:32:23 Speaker 3: So, like, it'll be times. 00:32:26 Speaker 4: Recently, I had something weird really happen to me where a guy. 00:32:32 Speaker

4: I went to a restaurant that we always like frequent and one of the girls in there told me, she was like, yeah, a guy came in and was like, oh my God, that was Armani Caesar. 00:32:42 Speaker 3: Like I'm a huge fan. 00:32:43 Speaker 4: I just took a picture of her license plate and I looked her up and this is that and a third. And, um, I was really weirded out by that because I was with my kid at the time when I seen him because my head is always on swivel. And I seen him, but it was a thing where it just kind of freaked me out. But it almost like turned something like a beast up in me. Like, dang, like I'm thinking of all the things that I'm willing to do to protect my child. 00:33:10 Speaker 1: Right. 00:33:11 Speaker 4: Um, even down to just the people that are around, I have a different boundary with, uh, myself, of course, but definitely with my kid, that's just not okay. 00:33:22 Speaker 3: And so, um, that's. 00:33:25 Speaker 1: Just some wild shit to like and then tell somebody yeah tell somebody y'all took a picture of. 00:33:30 Speaker 4: The lights yeah now granted it's like you could do that all you want to cause ain't nothing tied back to me but just still you know like it's just the that's the reason why I do those things that's why I'm glad I had the insight to do those things but also um like don't play with me when it come to my kid like don't play around with me don't run up on me when I got. 00:33:49 Speaker 1: My kid yeah yeah that's that's that's just uh uh Mall basketball season is here.

I definitely want to work with Pharrell. I definitely want to do a project with Alchemist just because all of my favorite records that I have personally, whether it's Liz Loves Luger or Buffalo Kitchen Club or Butch, like, He always produces my favorite records that I got. 00:35:18 Speaker 2: His studio is very kid-friendly, too, by the way. 00:35:20 Speaker 3: Oh, yeah, for sure. 00:35:21 Speaker 2: Always kids running around in our studio. 00:35:23 Speaker 4: Been there a few times, again, with the guys and just seeing how homey he was. I'm thinking, this Alchemist, he probably going to be in something big and fancy. 00:35:32 Speaker 3: It's like, nah. 00:35:33 Speaker 1: Just the crib. 00:35:35 Speaker 3: Real cool. 00:35:36 Speaker 2: Yeah, you and I would be great. You haven't worked with 9th Post Griselda. 00:35:40 Speaker 1: Have you? 00:35:41 Speaker 3: No, I haven't. 00:35:42 Speaker 4: We've been in conversation all the time about like, yo, we need to do a tape. And so I definitely got to do something with Knife. And that's the thing. I feel like he just... I've done something with his artists before. But yeah, we got to get it in too. That's one of my favorite producers too. 00:35:57 Speaker 1: Coming up, who was the rapper that you looked at and was like the one that you can kind of go back to? Like they probably inspired you to start writing rhymes. 00:36:07 Speaker 3: Honestly, I was. 00:36:09 Speaker 4: it was a big pool of them. I can say that it was more male than female though. Cause I always feel like I was always surrounded by guys. And so that's what I was like brought up listening to and they would just get nasty. So like even back in the, like I was a huge like Styles P fan, huge Jada fan, a huge, like even Cassidy fan at one point, like I just loved bars and stuff like that. 00:36:35 Speaker 3: But honestly, like, it was Benny and Conway too. 00:36:40 Speaker 4: Like once I really started like writing and stuff like that, being in Buff City, it started off, it was like 10 niggas in a group. And so once we did like compilation albums and stuff like that with Shay, Everybody not getting on the song. Who's about to listen to a song with 10 niggas on it? 00:36:56 Speaker 1: Somebody going to be cut. Yeah. 00:36:58 Speaker 4: So, like, learning that, you had to have, like, the most fire verse if you wanted to get on a song. And so, like, I would listen to them and I would be like, all right, this is how I want mine to sound. Or this is how I want to come on. Or this is, like, I want to, like, build up to this and, you know, be like, ooh. I want niggas to be like, ooh. And so, I got that from them. 00:37:20 Speaker 1: Now, what's your favorite, like... thing to cook. Like, if you're dating, right? Girls have their go-to meals. We see it online all the time. Everybody get into the Alfredo game. 00:37:31 Speaker 2: Let's put a girl back in the kitchen. 00:37:32 Speaker 1: No, I'm just saying, like, you know, she's a mom, so it's kind of like, you know, it's the nurturing thing. What's your favorite, like, if you had family over? Like, what is Armani getting in? We know you right. I'm going to say it again. She right on rhymes. But does Armani, does she cook her own food? That's what we want to know. What's your

favorite meal to cook for the family? Um. 00:37:53 Speaker 3: Well, I come from a family where we like always did big breakfasts. 00:37:56 Speaker 1: Okay. 00:37:57 Speaker 4: So, you know, but I feel like breakfast is kind of easy, but it's also like my favorite meal to cook just because everybody is like in the kitchen at that point in a pajamas. 00:38:06 Speaker 3: Like, you know what I'm saying? Then you can make it fancy. 00:38:08 Speaker 1: Yeah. 00:38:09 Speaker 4: Um, Thanksgiving, I always do my contributions, like, whether it's the mac and cheese and the yams. 00:38:16 Speaker 1: See, I love going right to the mac. 00:38:18 Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, because that's such a niche thing. 00:38:20 Speaker 1: But it's Armani, it's the mac, the mac, though. It's your mac, mac. 00:38:23 Speaker 3: My mac is going crazy. Not gonna lie. 00:38:25 Speaker 1: I can't see that. 00:38:26 Speaker 3: My mac is going crazy. Like, and I stand on that. 00:38:30 Speaker 1: Okay. 00:38:30 Speaker 4: But also, like, I got really good yams. My mom taught me how to cook, like, you know, that kind of stuff. And I waited until, like, later on to learn. 00:38:39 Speaker 3: And then. 00:38:39 Speaker 4: If we keeping it real, real tall, like, I didn't really start getting good at cooking till, like, the pandemic when we couldn't go nowhere. So, like, I had, like, I had, like, three meals on, like, in the cut. But, like, I didn't start trying stuff till, like, 2020. 00:38:52 Speaker 1: Yeah, you can't go nowhere. Everything closed. Yeah. 00:38:55 Speaker 4: And you ain't had nothing but time. So, now I can, like, sit and really, like, figure it out. 00:39:00 Speaker 1: Well, we got to, this Thanksgiving. Mm-hmm. We want to see the Mac. Okay. Don't disappear on social media. We're going to be looking. It's a Mac watch. I'm going to stream it. We on Mac watch. 00:39:12 Speaker 3: I'm going to stream it. I'm going to stream me cooking. 00:39:15 Speaker 1: All right. All right. Because Baby D's a cook. She can cook. Okay. She can throw down. 00:39:20 Speaker 3: Yes. 00:39:20 Speaker 1: But now I want to see Armani. We got to see if the Mac. Because I could tell. I could eye the Mac and know if it's good. 00:39:25 Speaker 2: Oh, for sure. 00:39:26 Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying? If it's not a little burnt around, you know what I'm saying? 00:39:28 Speaker 4: The edges It got to be crispy and not just crispy because you put the little paprika on it. 00:39:33 Speaker 1: No, no, no, no, no. 00:39:34 Speaker 3: It got to be. Yeah. 00:39:36 Speaker 1: You got to leave it in that oven long enough to where it's like, oh shit, it almost. Uh-huh. And then, you know, in that middle is, you know what I mean? So we on Mack watch on Imani's pages. Yeah. 00:39:45 Speaker 4: And it's moist. It's not when you cut it into it, it's all wet and runny. Like it gotta be moist. 00:39:51 Speaker 1: Cause I heard the bar. 00:39:52 Speaker 2: We heard the bar on the, yeah. 00:39:53 Speaker 1: I was going to leave that alone, but you walked us into that bar. It's a very respectable podcast. I'm like, all right, Armani, we heard, I'm listening to what you're saying. That was like the opening line, wasn't it? Yeah, that was the first song, passenger seat. You know what I'm saying? Like, I'm like, okay, take a stand in Armani. Like, you know what I mean? Yeah. 00:40:11 Speaker 3: So I know exactly the consistency. 00:40:13 Speaker 1: All right. Consistency is the word we was looking for. The Mac is fire. 00:40:19 Speaker 2: The Mac is fire. 00:40:20 Speaker 1: Now the Mac is fire. You know what I mean? Um, baby love just please armani whatever you do because again i think that's i'm gonna go down as one of your. 00:40:30 Speaker 4: Best records i'm gonna send it to you like the final version. 00:40:32 Speaker 1: Because i just feel like that is gonna be one of your best records yeah like hearing it hearing you singing do you plan on doing more melodies like with your hooks well yeah. 00:40:41 Speaker 4: I um i'm singing on a lot of tracks i don't know if they sent you 300 nights but i'm singing on i'm harmonizing. 00:40:48 Speaker 1: They only sent me five of them 300 Nights should have been one of them. 00:40:51 Speaker 2: Yeah, we got Banquet, obviously two that are out already, Razor and Baby Love. 00:40:55 Speaker 4: Mm-hmm.

I'm more so like stacking my vocals. Like I'm playing with it a little bit more. 00:41:16 Speaker 1: You're growing. 00:41:17 Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm growing. I feel like all of the projects have to like top The ones. 00:41:21 Speaker 4: Absolutely. 00:41:21 Speaker 3: I think this one is going to be better than this, too, for sure. 00:41:24 Speaker 1: Now, sidebar, Rory. Armani, when we did the video down in Atlanta with Saint and Lil Baby. Okay, yeah. Armani came in there, and every nigga on the set was like, Jesus Christ, who is that? I was like, y'all don't know Armani. With the mink on? She just came in there, and it was just like, yo, that's Armani. Like, niggas was like, oh, all right. Yo, have her right there. Stand right there. Came in there and said it. I'm like, yo, but y'all know she really like can bar. 00:41:53 Speaker 4: And I was at all the shots too. 00:41:55 Speaker 3: That was crazy. 00:41:56 Speaker 1: Damn right she was at all the shots. Hell yeah, you was at all the shots. 00:42:00 Speaker 3: That was a nice shot. 00:42:01 Speaker 1: But I had to tell people on the set like, yo, but nah, you know, she'll really bar you down. She looks great, but like, don't get it twisted. She'll bar you down. Do you plan on

doing any features with some of the female emcees in the game right now? I would love to. And if so, who? I would love to. Who do you want to work with? 00:42:19 Speaker 3: Um, yeah, I want to work with, uh, I would love to work with Lotto. 00:42:23 Speaker 1: I was, I was, that was going to be the first name. Yeah. 00:42:26 Speaker 4: Like I, I, I fuck where I like her vibe. I would love to work with Kenna man. 00:42:31 Speaker 1: Um, she's dope. 00:42:32 Speaker 4: We did the, um, the BT cypher together.

Um, and especially in the space that I'm in, um, I would love to bring one of them to like a result of sound. I feel like the person that would fit the best in it would probably be like a Dolce or a Doja. 00:43:19 Speaker 1: Yeah. 00:43:20 Speaker 3: Which I would love to work with them. I love both of them too. 00:43:24 Speaker 1: When Meg, not Meg. 00:43:26 Speaker 2: Well, both have worked with Wes before. 00:43:28 Speaker 1: Yeah. But when Lotto first started, she was more, her style was a lot different than it is now. 00:43:34 Speaker 4: Yeah. 00:43:34 Speaker 1: Yeah. Like she kind of grew into the sound and this artist, but When she first came out, she was more on some like backpack. She was more on that type of vibe. So I think that that would be cool to kind of like get her back into that frequency and that sound. 00:43:50 Speaker 3: Or just finding like the happy medium. 00:43:51 Speaker 4: I feel like when I put Kodak on Diana, it didn't sound like he was trying to do a Griselda record. It just sounded like it was like just a little bit different. Like it was a happy medium. So I feel like I could find a happy medium. 00:44:03 Speaker 1: Kodak is one of those artists I always tell Rory, I think is... extremely underrated for his ear and just his uh you know ability to hear melodies and you know like he does a lot of his projects with no features and does all of the hooks like he's and be freestyling yeah like one of those artists that i think is is criminally underrated just for his talent yeah there's a lot of other shit gets in the way as well you know personal life yeah you know trouble with the law and those things get kind of like drowned out the fact that his talent is so insane to me. 00:44:33 Speaker 4: Yes, I feel like he can definitely like take it there. His personality, like even I feel like he should be somewhere doing movies or film or a sketch show. 00:44:41 Speaker 3: That

nigga is so funny. 00:44:42 Speaker 1: You know, is Kodak streaming? Does he stream? 00:44:45 Speaker 2: I mean, he's been on people's streams. 00:44:46 Speaker 3: Yeah, but I don't think he streams, no. 00:44:48 Speaker 1: No, he's... No, listen. 00:44:50 Speaker 2: He's been high as fuck on people's streams. 00:44:53 Speaker 1: Yeah, but that's what. 00:44:54 Speaker 3: But he be funny, though. 00:44:56 Speaker 1: No, he's hilarious. No, Kodak is... His personality is like... He's definitely like must-see TV. 00:45:02 Speaker 3: Naturally. 00:45:03 Speaker 1: Yeah, like he's just naturally just a lot of personality. 00:45:07 Speaker 5: It would scare me with him streaming, though. I feel like he'd get himself in trouble, that's all. The more cameras, the worse. If Adrian Broner can stream. 00:45:15 Speaker 3: A lot. 00:45:16 Speaker 1: Fair. Okay. Kodak Black can stream. 00:45:17 Speaker 2: I stand corrected. 00:45:18 Speaker 1: Yeah, absolutely. So the Liz, the symphony next month, November. Yes.
