I don't know where I was going at, 00:04:20.370 --> 00:04:23.949 but I know I was starting there and it was an 00:04:23.949 --> 00:04:26.189 experience, a good experience, especially coming 00:04:26.189 --> 00:04:29.810 here and being with kids. I'm not good old friends. 00:04:30.310 --> 00:04:34.069 So I'll say right now, the journey, I would say 00:04:34.069 --> 00:04:39.629 that it's still going. We're still pushing and 00:04:39.629 --> 00:04:43.129 that we learn a lot on the way, whether it's 00:04:43.129 --> 00:04:48.430 growing yourself. letting go and just keep on 00:04:48.430 --> 00:04:50.589 pushing, keep on pushing and roll with the punches. 00:04:50.750 --> 00:04:53.069 I like that. So we're here, we're a warrior, 00:04:53.209 --> 00:04:56.470 we're a soldier. Amen. Like I say, shoot, even 00:04:56.470 --> 00:04:59.029 the superheroes hustling stuff, we need to be 00:04:59.029 --> 00:05:02.230 reminded that when rock, you know, when life 00:05:02.230 --> 00:05:04.129 hits rock bottom, you know, you got to keep on 00:05:04.129 --> 00:05:07.050 pushing, but live in that moment too. Let it 00:05:07.050 --> 00:05:09.879 sit and let it... shimmer and feel it because 00:05:09.879 --> 00:05:12.100 in order for you to understand what's going on 00:05:12.100 --> 00:05:14.500 you got to feel the emotions and things like 00:05:14.500 --> 00:05:19.420 that so yeah i'm excited i'm excited so now your 00:05:19.420 --> 00:05:27.160 new album the day i became sacred again man y 00:05:27.160 --> 00:05:28.939 'all like just putting that together like the 00:05:28.939 --> 00:05:31.040 day i became sacred again because i kept saying 00:05:31.040 --> 00:05:34.120 it to myself i was like hold up that hit me a 00:05:34.120 --> 00:05:37.220 little bit Because like I mentioned on the episode 00:05:37.220 --> 00:05:39.639 being able to trust yourself again. You got to 00:05:39.639 --> 00:05:42.480 understand of like I got to understand too to 00:05:42.480 --> 00:05:46.500 be sacred and be happy Just feeling the pieces 00:05:46.500 --> 00:05:50.399 of it for real. That has a powerful title So 00:05:50.399 --> 00:05:54.540 what inspired you to have that you're a new album 00:05:54.540 --> 00:05:58.079 to be that title? I would say the journey I was 00:05:58.079 --> 00:06:02.100 going on I wrote the title because it came to 00:06:02.100 --> 00:06:06.399 me first And I didn't know what it meant to myself 00:06:06.399 --> 00:06:08.560 at first. But I know that I had to write it down. 00:06:08.600 --> 00:06:11.420 So I would say the first thing that helped me 00:06:11.420 --> 00:06:14.920 was God. And he helped me figure out what I need 00:06:14.920 --> 00:06:18.680 to say and how I will be said. So the title came 00:06:18.680 --> 00:06:23.019 first. What the title? that it had no songs at 00:06:23.019 --> 00:06:27.279 all. But it sounded right to me. It's like that 00:06:27.279 --> 00:06:29.300 in low key, the album was going to be called 00:06:29.300 --> 00:06:32.639 Free at First. Either one would have been better. 00:06:32.639 --> 00:06:35.000 But I feel like it was just like, that was more 00:06:35.000 --> 00:06:39.060 like eh, take it. So I feel like the day I became 00:06:39.060 --> 00:06:42.959 Secret Again was more like a meaningful feeling, 00:06:43.240 --> 00:06:45.660 not just for me, but for others that's watching, 00:06:45.839 --> 00:06:48.740 others that's still growing and so too. So... 00:06:48.759 --> 00:06:51.160 God, I would say the journey he took me on to 00:06:51.160 --> 00:06:55.879 get here, and the musical journey he took me 00:06:55.879 --> 00:06:59.600 on as well. And I would say just letting life 00:06:59.600 --> 00:07:04.399 take its toll of just learning lessons, just 00:07:04.399 --> 00:07:07.860 having fun, just trying to get back to me. And 00:07:07.860 --> 00:07:10.439 I feel like that's why it's called the day I 00:07:10.439 --> 00:07:13.300 became sacred again, because I'm getting back 00:07:13.300 --> 00:07:17.149 to me as one and I'm learning myself. You want 00:07:17.149 --> 00:07:19.290 to be, you always want to feel 100 % yourself, 00:07:19.810 --> 00:07:22.430 not 89. We do have them days where we're not 00:07:22.430 --> 00:07:25.149 100 % ourselves, but we still know that we still 00:07:25.149 --> 00:07:27.350 got our own bags and that's what I want to do. 00:07:27.350 --> 00:07:29.029 I want to feel like I still have my own bag and 00:07:29.029 --> 00:07:32.810 I'm not just stuck in the corner, just not being 00:07:32.810 --> 00:07:34.769 myself. I always want to be myself. That was 00:07:34.769 --> 00:07:37.509 so deep. That was so deep because I feel it. 00:07:37.550 --> 00:07:39.470 And then going back to when you said you were 00:07:39.470 --> 00:07:41.750 going to call it free. I feel like when you tied 00:07:41.750 --> 00:07:43.889 it in, like being sacred again, it does impact 00:07:43.889 --> 00:07:45.750 with being free. Yeah. Just sitting there and 00:07:45.750 --> 00:07:48.389 be like, okay, Like you mentioned we all go through 00:07:48.389 --> 00:07:50.850 bad days shoot life be hitting and it's like 00:07:50.850 --> 00:07:53.829 what else can happen? Like what else can happen? 00:07:54.009 --> 00:07:56.389 And I feel it because shoot we have those days 00:07:56.389 --> 00:07:58.870 and I just be sitting there like what the hell 00:07:58.870 --> 00:08:01.930 is going on? Like why is this happening to me? 00:08:02.129 --> 00:08:03.790 And then once you sit and live and it's like 00:08:03.790 --> 00:08:06.689 okay you know what it is what it is but I'm gonna 00:08:06.689 --> 00:08:08.170 forgive it but I ain't gonna forget it because 00:08:08.170 --> 00:08:10.069 I'm learning through this too. Right the knowledge 00:08:10.069 --> 00:08:13.029 is powerful. When you learn the knowledge is 00:08:13.029 --> 00:08:17.879 powerful. And then like Just being able to roll 00:08:17.879 --> 00:08:20.540 with the punches and understand it. That's a 00:08:20.540 --> 00:08:22.860 big thing, especially as you're in your 20s, 00:08:22.920 --> 00:08:25.459 you know, Jill Scott said it's like in your 20s, 00:08:25.959 --> 00:08:27.819 like you're going to have these issues. You're 00:08:27.819 --> 00:08:30.339 going to have fun and stuff in your 30s or 40s 00:08:30.339 --> 00:08:32.460 and stuff. Once you get to 50, 60, you be like 00:08:32.460 --> 00:08:35.299 secure. So you still learn it in the process. 00:08:35.340 --> 00:08:37.720 And it's like every day is not going to be perfect. 00:08:38.080 --> 00:08:40.259 And then with the title, it just had so much 00:08:40.259 --> 00:08:42.500 on me because I was listening to y 'all, like 00:08:42.500 --> 00:08:44.470 he put it on TikTok. I said, let me listen. but 00:08:44.470 --> 00:08:46.470 I want y 'all to hear more because like I don't 00:08:46.470 --> 00:08:49.230 want to think too much but it's just like music 00:08:49.230 --> 00:08:51.830 and artists when y 'all tell the stories in poetic 00:08:51.830 --> 00:08:55.230 ways with the beat stuff it's like wow because 00:08:55.230 --> 00:08:57.509 you never know who can relate to this especially 00:08:57.509 --> 00:09:00.549 the title and I'm saying not only that too we 00:09:00.549 --> 00:09:03.590 gotta realize that it's always sometimes our 00:09:03.590 --> 00:09:07.409 artistry is just for us yes but then when you 00:09:07.409 --> 00:09:10.830 put it out it's for others as well too so it's 00:09:10.830 --> 00:09:13.669 not more like a forceful thing to do but more 00:09:13.669 --> 00:09:15.809 like you want somebody relate to you whether 00:09:15.809 --> 00:09:18.509 it's just one person because somebody's going 00:09:18.509 --> 00:09:21.269 to relate to the music that you put out and that 00:09:21.269 --> 00:09:25.350 matters especially coming from you're not a music 00:09:25.350 --> 00:09:29.049 artist at first you're a poet at first everybody 00:09:29.049 --> 00:09:30.830 start as a poet at first nobody just start as 00:09:30.830 --> 00:09:33.590 a musician a beat you can have a beat but when 00:09:33.590 --> 00:09:35.649 you're done with that beat that's them those 00:09:35.649 --> 00:09:39.929 those those Does the lyrics make sense to you? 00:09:40.370 --> 00:09:44.149 Does the stanza make sense to you? Is it powerful 00:09:44.149 --> 00:09:47.230 for you? If it's not, then maybe that's because 00:09:47.230 --> 00:09:50.789 you don't believe in it as your self. You want 00:09:50.789 --> 00:09:52.470 other people to believe it as well too. And not 00:09:52.470 --> 00:09:56.049 in a false way, but in a way like how can you 00:09:56.049 --> 00:09:57.929 tell your story and other people can relate to 00:09:57.929 --> 00:10:00.809 it and it can also fill that story as well inside. 00:10:01.750 --> 00:10:04.090 So the day I became sacred, again, it's not just 00:10:04.090 --> 00:10:06.750 for me, it's for... everybody because you want 00:10:06.750 --> 00:10:10.970 to feel I want to feel whole again feel like 00:10:10.970 --> 00:10:13.169 yourself again you know so yeah because it's 00:10:13.169 --> 00:10:15.769 like like I say to you bad times don't last forever 00:10:15.769 --> 00:10:18.789 they don't they don't but in those times it do 00:10:18.789 --> 00:10:22.750 hurt like hell because it's like damn like I 00:10:22.750 --> 00:10:24.570 want that peace of mind I want to feel sacred 00:10:24.570 --> 00:10:27.570 like you know Like, Lauryn Hill said, you know, 00:10:27.710 --> 00:10:30.330 had I got a fine piece of mind, she wasn't lying. 00:10:30.490 --> 00:10:32.429 That's my girl. And between two, like, she'd 00:10:32.429 --> 00:10:34.389 say, nothing even matters. I'd be like, you're 00:10:34.389 --> 00:10:37.570 right. Because sometimes it doesn't matter. How 00:10:37.570 --> 00:10:40.269 you going? Yes. Well, you ain't right with that. 00:10:40.990 --> 00:10:42.730 OK, especially when you're on this journey of 00:10:42.730 --> 00:10:44.289 feeling sacred again and trying to get yourself 00:10:44.289 --> 00:10:46.740 together is like... nothing even matters but 00:10:46.740 --> 00:10:49.039 me getting to this point in my life as well as 00:10:49.039 --> 00:10:51.960 to whatever message or whatever's going on. If 00:10:51.960 --> 00:10:53.919 I can't help, if it don't help a lot of people 00:10:53.919 --> 00:10:55.899 long as I can help one person, it goes to show 00:10:55.899 --> 00:10:59.159 that I, shoot, I'm doing something right. Because 00:10:59.159 --> 00:11:01.440 sometimes we always looking for like, oh, I got 00:11:01.440 --> 00:11:04.200 to make sure this amount of people do. No. And 00:11:04.200 --> 00:11:05.940 it's like on TikTok, I've seen something and 00:11:05.940 --> 00:11:08.639 it had me like, whoa, like you never know who 00:11:08.639 --> 00:11:11.340 is... ready for your next project, ready for 00:11:11.340 --> 00:11:13.580 the next piece of content. So still keep going, 00:11:13.799 --> 00:11:15.759 even when numbers and stuff are low, keep going 00:11:15.759 --> 00:11:18.919 regardless. And to all the artists, content creators, 00:11:19.120 --> 00:11:21.700 everybody out there, keep going. Don't stop because 00:11:21.700 --> 00:11:23.500 you never know how much of an impact are you 00:11:23.500 --> 00:11:27.379 putting onto someone's life within. Well, however 00:11:27.379 --> 00:11:29.860 long the album might be, however long the audio, 00:11:30.039 --> 00:11:32.080 the video, whatever it is, you never know, because 00:11:32.080 --> 00:11:34.100 that can really help someone. Like, you could 00:11:34.100 --> 00:11:36.620 be a healer and don't even know that. Especially 00:11:36.620 --> 00:11:40.059 with the title of the album. I'm going to keep 00:11:40.059 --> 00:11:43.799 saying it because it's like, dang, when he said 00:11:43.799 --> 00:11:45.639 it again, because I was like, so when somebody 00:11:45.639 --> 00:11:48.059 would ask you about the album, how are you going 00:11:48.059 --> 00:11:50.679 to tell them? Because I was playing around with 00:11:50.679 --> 00:11:58.789 it. He's like, I mean. I'm like, well, let me 00:11:58.789 --> 00:12:00.830 act like a stranger then. It's like, I heard 00:12:00.830 --> 00:12:03.009 your project, like, give me a little bit more 00:12:03.009 --> 00:12:07.370 insight, but in the way. I'll say, getting out 00:12:07.370 --> 00:12:09.970 of Twitter, I say that it's more like letting 00:12:09.970 --> 00:12:16.919 go, finding yourself again, enjoying life. Making 00:12:16.919 --> 00:12:19.940 sure that you had fun as well too and also loving 00:12:19.940 --> 00:12:23.259 yourself, you know We all we forget so much that 00:12:23.259 --> 00:12:24.820 cuz we love everybody else or trying to help 00:12:24.820 --> 00:12:26.720 everybody else that we don't help ourself or 00:12:26.720 --> 00:12:29.200 love ourself I feel like that was a big part 00:12:29.200 --> 00:12:32.240 of it too Like the love yourself part was the 00:12:32.240 --> 00:12:35.220 prominent part of it and then everything came 00:12:35.220 --> 00:12:38.340 with it It's like letting go of things that don't 00:12:38.340 --> 00:12:40.879 serve you anymore. It either is relationships 00:12:40.879 --> 00:12:48.279 or things that it be mental or spiritually and 00:12:48.279 --> 00:12:51.899 then just like just you know We always gotta 00:12:51.899 --> 00:12:55.340 know that sometimes we can put the work away. 00:12:56.039 --> 00:13:00.019 Let us let loose and have fun too. So yeah, that's 00:13:00.019 --> 00:13:03.519 yolo. And that impacts with the next question 00:13:03.519 --> 00:13:05.320 I was gonna ask, like the story behind it. And 00:13:05.320 --> 00:13:08.360 that fits perfect because that's, that's, it's 00:13:08.360 --> 00:13:10.139 needed. Like I'm gonna keep saying like we need 00:13:10.139 --> 00:13:12.399 to like when we go through these things in life, 00:13:12.399 --> 00:13:15.080 we just need to let go. And it's hard too, because 00:13:15.080 --> 00:13:16.659 when you're always a person that's on the go 00:13:16.659 --> 00:13:19.399 and have things in order and stuff, I can. Because 00:13:19.399 --> 00:13:20.620 like, shoot, I feel like when I have a break, 00:13:20.820 --> 00:13:25.500 it's like, I don't want to say a punishment, 00:13:25.700 --> 00:13:27.220 but I feel like you're being selfish. But at 00:13:27.220 --> 00:13:29.259 times you have to be selfish. You got to take 00:13:29.259 --> 00:13:31.720 control of your life as well as popping out when 00:13:31.720 --> 00:13:34.899 it's necessary for you. When you need to do what 00:13:34.899 --> 00:13:36.720 you have to do. That's when you find yourself 00:13:36.720 --> 00:13:41.100 again being sacred. So it's a grips with yourself 00:13:41.100 --> 00:13:43.639 like look I need to get this together and I'm 00:13:43.639 --> 00:13:45.139 gonna do anything and everything in my power 00:13:45.139 --> 00:13:47.940 to into Setting the boundaries saying no and 00:13:47.940 --> 00:13:50.419 stuff and we're all learning as we go. Yeah, 00:13:50.659 --> 00:13:52.460 and we're learning as we go So I really hope 00:13:52.460 --> 00:13:55.679 you guys tap into that album because I did and 00:13:55.679 --> 00:14:00.080 I really like it a lot Yes, the cover eats to 00:14:00.080 --> 00:14:03.259 y 'all so you most definitely like visuals get 00:14:03.259 --> 00:14:06.379 me if the visual don't really if I can't go to 00:14:06.379 --> 00:14:08.679 I'm like I'm gonna give it a chance though. Because 00:14:08.679 --> 00:14:10.899 sometimes, it's like the visual tells a lot of 00:14:10.899 --> 00:14:12.419 stories too. It's like a picture's worth a thousand 00:14:12.419 --> 00:14:16.240 words. And the cover he has for it is like mind 00:14:16.240 --> 00:14:18.899 blowing. It's mind blowing. And I like how you 00:14:18.899 --> 00:14:21.379 picked that cover. Cause he told me he goes to 00:14:21.379 --> 00:14:23.340 the studio, take the pictures. He has 60 daggum 00:14:23.340 --> 00:14:27.419 pictures for this album cover. So, shoot. And 00:14:27.419 --> 00:14:29.360 for artists, I know that's a hard thing too. 00:14:29.379 --> 00:14:31.080 Cause like all the pictures can be bomb. But 00:14:31.080 --> 00:14:34.159 it's like, I need that one to set the center 00:14:34.159 --> 00:14:36.539 stage to get. What I'm looking for. And I would 00:14:36.539 --> 00:14:40.539 say the thing that I did too, starting off as, 00:14:40.539 --> 00:14:43.779 starting over again as a musician and as an artist, 00:14:44.740 --> 00:14:48.220 you learn that the things that served you before 00:14:48.220 --> 00:14:51.240 and don't serve you anymore. So I felt like that 00:14:51.240 --> 00:14:55.000 me, like myself picking my own album cover was 00:14:55.000 --> 00:14:58.139 kind of like... I don't want to do that. So I 00:14:58.139 --> 00:15:01.659 evolved everybody. It's like social media, the 00:15:01.659 --> 00:15:05.340 pic. Because I was down to 10, but couldn't pick 00:15:05.340 --> 00:15:08.419 through the 10. So I made sure that everyone 00:15:08.419 --> 00:15:11.299 was involved on socials. And they picked for 00:15:11.299 --> 00:15:14.179 me. And that shows you that everybody is not 00:15:14.179 --> 00:15:18.139 just in tune, but also everybody is here to support 00:15:18.139 --> 00:15:22.159 you as well, too. Because... That wasn't up to 00:15:22.159 --> 00:15:24.940 me to pick that caliber. That was up to everybody 00:15:24.940 --> 00:15:27.159 else. That's dope. So I'm glad that everybody 00:15:27.159 --> 00:15:31.460 liked it because the public picked it. And when 00:15:31.460 --> 00:15:33.059 the public speak to you, that helps a lot too, 00:15:33.159 --> 00:15:35.559 especially with the stress when you are like 00:15:35.559 --> 00:15:39.679 a one -man army type of situation. Oh my gosh, 00:15:39.860 --> 00:15:41.879 it's like, okay, I want this a lot, but I'm like, 00:15:42.039 --> 00:15:43.340 going back to when you mentioned last time, we 00:15:43.340 --> 00:15:46.600 used to hear about your perfumes. That's a perfect 00:15:46.600 --> 00:15:49.519 example. When we go, cause how you broke down, 00:15:49.740 --> 00:15:51.059 you said, like in the beginning, like I'm doing 00:15:51.059 --> 00:15:52.899 this cause I like this. But then when you started 00:15:52.899 --> 00:15:55.240 to get the feedback, they were like, something 00:15:55.240 --> 00:15:56.480 need to change, whatever. And that's when he 00:15:56.480 --> 00:15:58.360 came with the beautiful crystal looking like, 00:15:58.480 --> 00:16:00.799 I still got my eyes set on the spinner. I was 00:16:00.799 --> 00:16:03.100 like, this, I don't even want. I'm going to wear 00:16:03.100 --> 00:16:05.740 it here and there because it's so special. That's 00:16:05.740 --> 00:16:08.580 what makes it pop too. And just getting the people's 00:16:08.580 --> 00:16:10.899 opinions and stuff, that makes it even more better 00:16:10.899 --> 00:16:13.580 because they are wearing it. It's for the people. 00:16:13.639 --> 00:16:15.360 So you want to make sure that I'm pulling out 00:16:15.360 --> 00:16:17.519 a product that's giving to them because they're 00:16:17.519 --> 00:16:19.919 paying their hard earned money for it. So as 00:16:19.919 --> 00:16:21.759 well as the fragrance, make sure it's soft, not 00:16:21.759 --> 00:16:24.139 too loud, especially too. You can wear it all 00:16:24.139 --> 00:16:26.019 year long and you ain't got to worry about, oh, 00:16:26.059 --> 00:16:27.720 this is just for the summer. This is just for 00:16:27.720 --> 00:16:29.940 the winter. So those type of things. And that's 00:16:29.940 --> 00:16:34.539 a good thing. She ate anything. She ate that 00:16:34.539 --> 00:16:39.559 much. I tried. I tried. I tried. I just thought. 00:16:39.580 --> 00:16:42.279 because every time I look at it, I think I'll 00:16:42.279 --> 00:16:44.879 be like, I remember when you broke it down. And 00:16:44.879 --> 00:16:46.500 it took me a minute to put it on the spinning 00:16:46.500 --> 00:16:48.860 because I kept it in the box. That's how bad 00:16:48.860 --> 00:16:52.500 it was, y 'all. It's like good China. You don't 00:16:52.500 --> 00:16:54.480 want to pull it out to the world. You don't want 00:16:54.480 --> 00:16:57.980 everybody to know. It's just really nice. And 00:16:57.980 --> 00:17:00.679 that's how you start the process with the album 00:17:00.679 --> 00:17:04.500 situation. Because if you're going to be listening 00:17:04.500 --> 00:17:06.619 or whatever, supporting my stuff, I want to make 00:17:06.619 --> 00:17:09.859 sure that you like this. It's like, okay, I fuck 00:17:09.859 --> 00:17:12.599 with this. Because with every album that an artist 00:17:12.599 --> 00:17:14.740 had and stuff, the album was worth a thousand 00:17:14.740 --> 00:17:16.680 words. The pictures, covers were worth a thousand 00:17:16.680 --> 00:17:19.420 words as well as the lyrics, because one song 00:17:19.420 --> 00:17:21.059 on there can impact you more than the other, 00:17:21.119 --> 00:17:23.200 or this one can take you back in time and be 00:17:23.200 --> 00:17:25.140 like, dang, I could connect to this. And that's 00:17:25.140 --> 00:17:26.880 what I like about music, because when artists 00:17:26.880 --> 00:17:30.880 had the poetry of whatever's going on and flowing 00:17:30.880 --> 00:17:32.660 it with the beat too, it's like, oh yeah, you're 00:17:32.660 --> 00:17:35.619 a monster with that, because I give y 'all that, 00:17:35.700 --> 00:17:37.869 because I'll be in there like, look, I'm... tired. 00:17:38.150 --> 00:17:40.750 I'd come back to this again. And sometimes, sometimes 00:17:40.750 --> 00:17:45.930 I'd be like, they're like, next song. Right now, 00:17:46.109 --> 00:17:48.230 my brain is overstimulated. Next song, please. 00:17:48.430 --> 00:17:50.369 So I had plenty of times like that making this 00:17:50.369 --> 00:17:53.329 album, say that. Especially scrapping, I had 00:17:53.329 --> 00:17:58.089 to scrap like what, 40 songs? 30, 40 songs? Yeah, 00:17:58.269 --> 00:18:00.529 so it's okay. It's okay. Y 'all will hear the 00:18:00.529 --> 00:18:04.609 songs. Not right now, but deluxe or something. 00:18:06.380 --> 00:18:08.779 There you have it, shoot, there you have it, 00:18:08.920 --> 00:18:10.619 there you have it. Yeah, so, probably a deluxe, 00:18:10.619 --> 00:18:12.980 cause I hate that problem. Either way, shoot, 00:18:13.180 --> 00:18:15.140 what the people want, they gonna get it. Yeah, 00:18:15.140 --> 00:18:16.799 yeah. Y 'all better like it too, cause shoot, 00:18:16.859 --> 00:18:18.700 that's a lot of hard work and dedication, blood, 00:18:18.759 --> 00:18:21.799 sweat, and tears, all night and stuff. I'm going 00:18:21.799 --> 00:18:25.039 crazy, I'm going insane. Right. But that's the 00:18:25.039 --> 00:18:26.380 thing too, when you're passionate about your 00:18:26.380 --> 00:18:28.960 craft, you do what you need to do and give the 00:18:28.960 --> 00:18:31.440 people what they want because they're tuned into 00:18:31.440 --> 00:18:34.079 you. And that's the start that people don't understand 00:18:34.079 --> 00:18:36.160 too. Like when you start anything, you got to 00:18:36.160 --> 00:18:38.740 make sure that, okay, yes, I'm giving this content, 00:18:38.759 --> 00:18:40.400 but I also want to make sure that people are 00:18:40.400 --> 00:18:43.180 understanding what I'm giving. Especially with 00:18:43.180 --> 00:18:46.440 the music is different from like the podcast 00:18:46.440 --> 00:18:48.279 where a little bit because the audio and stuff 00:18:48.279 --> 00:18:51.619 is like, I can simmer and sit in it. Of course. 00:18:51.680 --> 00:18:53.759 audio too but I feel like when you have instrumentals 00:18:53.759 --> 00:18:57.740 on it too it's like how the hell was you able 00:18:57.740 --> 00:19:01.940 to have that wordplay on top of this piano saxophone 00:19:01.940 --> 00:19:05.940 and trump you know I feel part of like doing 00:19:05.940 --> 00:19:12.339 an album or EP I would say my interlude sometimes 00:19:12.339 --> 00:19:17.500 sometimes a short a short song. Those be the 00:19:17.500 --> 00:19:19.539 ones that make you want more. Yeah, it makes 00:19:19.539 --> 00:19:21.660 you want more. And it's like a waiting room a 00:19:21.660 --> 00:19:25.859 little bit. Like, okay, we in the elevator. It's 00:19:25.859 --> 00:19:28.819 like, listen to it, like, okay, aiming us off. 00:19:28.990 --> 00:19:32.009 It's like a different feeling to other songs 00:19:32.009 --> 00:19:34.109 like that. And I love that. So I think I got 00:19:34.109 --> 00:19:36.130 like two interludes on this album. That's a good 00:19:36.130 --> 00:19:38.890 thing though. Yeah, I got like two interludes. 00:19:39.009 --> 00:19:41.890 I like that and one thing I like too with Brent 00:19:41.890 --> 00:19:43.890 when one of his albums, he did the skits in it 00:19:43.890 --> 00:19:46.990 too. Oh yeah. I don't know what had me so in 00:19:46.990 --> 00:19:48.970 tune with the skits, but it was just like... 00:19:48.910 --> 00:19:51.950 I'm just getting into that too. And now I can 00:19:51.950 --> 00:19:53.950 see you doing that. Because it makes it more 00:19:53.950 --> 00:19:56.430 like, okay, you can turn this shit to a movie. 00:19:56.509 --> 00:19:58.490 Right. Because the way when I was listening to 00:19:58.490 --> 00:20:00.609 that, I was like, hold up, wait a minute. This 00:20:00.609 --> 00:20:04.309 is too good. Because like me too, I'm a visual 00:20:04.309 --> 00:20:08.769 person. And when I listen to music, I'm visualizing 00:20:08.769 --> 00:20:10.930 my version of it versus maybe different from 00:20:10.930 --> 00:20:13.490 the music video. Because it makes you like... 00:20:13.490 --> 00:20:15.670 It's so creative. You want to be creative with 00:20:15.670 --> 00:20:19.410 it. So it's like that. I feel like that... My 00:20:19.410 --> 00:20:23.170 creative way of doing this album was more like 00:20:23.170 --> 00:20:28.390 a diary. So this album is like a diary. I'm showing 00:20:28.390 --> 00:20:31.349 and I'm telling some things about my life that 00:20:31.349 --> 00:20:35.549 probably nobody know or things that somebody 00:20:35.549 --> 00:20:39.009 can relate to. But I'm opening up my diary, which 00:20:39.009 --> 00:20:41.170 is this album and sharing it with people. That's 00:20:41.170 --> 00:20:44.089 why I have my best friend Jamal on the album 00:20:44.089 --> 00:20:48.579 and it's called Jamal's Entry. That's his entry 00:20:48.579 --> 00:20:51.759 to the diary. That's lovely. I just, again, I 00:20:51.759 --> 00:20:53.599 want everybody to join that, actually. I want 00:20:53.599 --> 00:20:55.740 that to be a thing, though, everybody having 00:20:55.740 --> 00:20:59.539 an entry. um on there so i might hit you up i 00:20:59.539 --> 00:21:02.319 got oh man y 'all want to hit me on that i don't 00:21:02.319 --> 00:21:05.579 know what to say but you can say you can say 00:21:05.579 --> 00:21:07.099 anything that come to your heart it's just about 00:21:07.099 --> 00:21:08.940 you gotta remember the title is the day i became 00:21:08.940 --> 00:21:11.059 sacred again so anything that hits you in your 00:21:11.059 --> 00:21:13.460 heart anything that relates to you say it on 00:21:13.460 --> 00:21:15.880 there because guess what it's raw uncut and that's 00:21:15.880 --> 00:21:17.920 what this album is it's raw uncut and i want 00:21:17.920 --> 00:21:22.160 you to be uh 100 % self Y 'all that's just a 00:21:22.160 --> 00:21:25.099 hit so hard Like the model for vibing with Ian 00:21:25.099 --> 00:21:27.200 vibing I would guess is Ron Uncut. So that's 00:21:27.200 --> 00:21:29.900 gonna be fun. That's gonna be fun. We're here. 00:21:30.480 --> 00:21:32.799 We're here. That's gonna be fun. Oh my god now 00:21:32.799 --> 00:21:35.539 I'm thinking about some stuff right now. So tune 00:21:35.539 --> 00:21:38.180 in because it's a lot of stuff that I'm gonna 00:21:38.180 --> 00:21:42.980 do. I like that idea. That's really dope. Especially 00:21:42.980 --> 00:21:46.819 to like like Solange when she did the one with 00:21:46.819 --> 00:21:52.890 Master P. Oh, yeah Oh my gosh. I was just like, 00:21:52.890 --> 00:21:55.069 cause I use that here and there, like certain 00:21:55.069 --> 00:21:57.089 stuff, or I just listen to it just to help me. 00:21:57.089 --> 00:21:58.930 I need to listen to that at the, we finished 00:21:58.930 --> 00:22:01.210 to help motivate me. Cause that little, like 00:22:01.210 --> 00:22:03.150 them little scenarios and stuff just here, even 00:22:03.150 --> 00:22:04.809 like summer walker and stuff when they do that. 00:22:06.450 --> 00:22:11.269 I love that it's like, even like stuff like that, 00:22:11.269 --> 00:22:13.869 it also helps you too in the process. It's like, 00:22:13.890 --> 00:22:17.640 wow. We need some, we need sometimes, It's another, 00:22:17.700 --> 00:22:19.960 you need to just hear another voice and not just 00:22:19.960 --> 00:22:22.279 some of the artists, just some of everybody else. 00:22:22.640 --> 00:22:24.859 Sometimes it's good to take it less. I say interludes 00:22:24.859 --> 00:22:28.420 are good to take breaks from the album, but also 00:22:28.420 --> 00:22:31.559 talking points, whether it's a friend, family 00:22:31.559 --> 00:22:38.380 member, probably your dog, Sparky. Just like 00:22:38.380 --> 00:22:41.660 in, you know, in a way in the album, everybody 00:22:41.660 --> 00:22:44.630 like, okay. You can relate to this friend because 00:22:44.630 --> 00:22:46.769 you had certain friends or family members that 00:22:46.769 --> 00:22:50.150 will talk to you like that and it's The journal 00:22:50.150 --> 00:22:52.569 entry for Jamal is like my favorite favorite 00:22:52.569 --> 00:22:55.410 like what's out? It's like it's like this is 00:22:55.410 --> 00:22:59.069 like a phone call like we would do Like it's 00:22:59.069 --> 00:23:01.309 like phone calls. That's why I try to do to like 00:23:01.309 --> 00:23:04.700 for my series and it also for this series because 00:23:04.700 --> 00:23:06.799 it's like we're on three or four way however 00:23:06.799 --> 00:23:09.180 how many people it is we're having a conversation 00:23:09.180 --> 00:23:11.859 because you don't want it to give like interview 00:23:11.859 --> 00:23:13.559 lead but i still want to keep questions rolling 00:23:13.559 --> 00:23:15.500 to keep it because that's how conversations go 00:23:15.500 --> 00:23:18.380 but when it feels like a phone call facetime 00:23:18.380 --> 00:23:21.049 it's like We're here. Yeah, it's like you can 00:23:21.049 --> 00:23:23.609 throw anything. We're here. And I love a good 00:23:23.609 --> 00:23:26.609 combo that hits to a topic that you really don't 00:23:26.609 --> 00:23:29.309 talk about every day. Yeah. And that's how the 00:23:29.309 --> 00:23:31.450 series vibe now we guess came because it's conversations 00:23:31.450 --> 00:23:34.390 that we don't hear often. Or it's people that 00:23:34.390 --> 00:23:36.750 want to spark these conversations and you tag 00:23:36.750 --> 00:23:40.869 along and it could be like, hold up. OK, friend, 00:23:40.990 --> 00:23:43.930 we say, OK, now I'm here for and we love it. 00:23:43.970 --> 00:23:49.380 So yes. So now. We touch base a lot with like 00:23:49.380 --> 00:23:52.640 the background of the story the album of the 00:23:52.640 --> 00:23:54.819 story was story of the album the background of 00:23:54.819 --> 00:23:57.519 stuff So we're gonna jump into the creative process 00:23:57.519 --> 00:24:00.000 because that's where it gets real sticky and 00:24:00.000 --> 00:24:07.000 the good way So when you did this project, right 00:24:07.000 --> 00:24:10.660 What was the creative process like for you? Um, 00:24:10.660 --> 00:24:16.480 I would say Stripping myself away from a lot 00:24:16.480 --> 00:24:20.700 of stuff that I used to do. The music wise, I 00:24:20.700 --> 00:24:23.019 used to listen to, sometimes people don't get 00:24:23.019 --> 00:24:28.039 the process of changing yourself, not because 00:24:28.039 --> 00:24:30.319 you want to change yourself and wow people, but 00:24:30.319 --> 00:24:33.539 also to fire yourself again. I feel like certain 00:24:33.539 --> 00:24:36.640 music I used to listen to, I stopped listening 00:24:36.640 --> 00:24:38.660 to it, not because the artist did anything bad 00:24:38.660 --> 00:24:43.400 or the music sucked. It was more of just like, 00:24:43.480 --> 00:24:46.440 okay, What else can I relate to instead of just 00:24:46.440 --> 00:24:50.900 this artist or these artists? So I did a deep 00:24:50.900 --> 00:24:57.440 dive into like old, old, old music like 90s, 00:24:57.500 --> 00:25:02.779 80s, early 2000s music. My inspiration for this 00:25:02.779 --> 00:25:07.440 album artist wise, Lauryn Hill, Pharrell, Janet 00:25:07.440 --> 00:25:12.660 Jackson, Kanye West, Andre 3000, Left Eye Eve. 00:25:12.910 --> 00:25:17.450 um because they are people that i know are creative 00:25:17.450 --> 00:25:20.069 in a way i mean creative in a way that they know 00:25:20.069 --> 00:25:22.309 how to make an album and make a story in the 00:25:22.309 --> 00:25:25.990 album but also they know how to be themselves 00:25:25.990 --> 00:25:28.710 and raw uncut especially somebody well i was 00:25:28.710 --> 00:25:33.210 listening to um lauren hill ms education and 00:25:33.210 --> 00:25:37.190 i was listening to um jane jackson all for you 00:25:37.190 --> 00:25:44.319 um what else that's the um I forgot already in 00:25:44.319 --> 00:25:47.059 my head, but I'm not going to waste your time. 00:25:47.259 --> 00:25:55.559 Oh and Eve Scorpion. Oh yeah. So they are albums 00:25:55.559 --> 00:26:00.039 that's like epitome of like raw and uncut and 00:26:00.039 --> 00:26:03.960 they don't kill like what anybody else say they 00:26:03.960 --> 00:26:05.839 just had to get it out because it's their story 00:26:05.839 --> 00:26:07.940 but whoever relates to it as well and that's 00:26:07.940 --> 00:26:10.420 how i wanted to share my story i don't care who 00:26:10.420 --> 00:26:13.059 listen to it i don't care how many streams videos 00:26:13.059 --> 00:26:15.119 or anything i get this is a story that i have 00:26:15.119 --> 00:26:17.420 to get out because it means so much to me whoever 00:26:17.420 --> 00:26:20.039 relates to it come join the party we here to 00:26:20.039 --> 00:26:24.430 rock So, that's good. That was the artist that 00:26:24.430 --> 00:26:26.930 inspired me. Like I said, my life inspired me 00:26:26.930 --> 00:26:30.589 more because it was more like a journey for me 00:26:30.589 --> 00:26:33.049 and myself. Like, okay, Antoine, you don't want 00:26:33.049 --> 00:26:35.930 this to happen to you or this to hurt you. Let 00:26:35.930 --> 00:26:38.450 it go. You don't want, you want this and you 00:26:38.450 --> 00:26:40.289 want that because it makes you happy. It's who 00:26:40.289 --> 00:26:44.309 you are. Keep it. It's like that. So, life, the 00:26:44.309 --> 00:26:47.750 artists I listen to, musical background, and 00:26:47.750 --> 00:26:50.369 then also too, like, What are the things that 00:26:50.369 --> 00:26:54.029 you are most terrified or scared to talk about 00:26:54.029 --> 00:26:56.630 that even you will be shocked? And I just let 00:26:56.630 --> 00:26:59.650 my brain just compute everything that I used 00:26:59.650 --> 00:27:03.170 to make myself forget or that I used to just 00:27:03.170 --> 00:27:06.269 bottle in, let it all out. And that's why I wanted 00:27:06.269 --> 00:27:09.490 to be real raw and not cut. The last part of 00:27:09.490 --> 00:27:12.769 the album, though, is more of like, well, it's 00:27:12.769 --> 00:27:18.589 time to get funky. That's what it is. Yeah, that's 00:27:18.589 --> 00:27:22.150 the inspirations, right? That's it. This is about 00:27:22.150 --> 00:27:25.109 you and we need to talk about it. I thought I 00:27:25.109 --> 00:27:28.190 lost track of the question. No, no. Let's just 00:27:28.190 --> 00:27:30.490 get conversating. First, I would say this though. 00:27:30.589 --> 00:27:32.869 First, I was inspired by, and I feel like I told 00:27:32.869 --> 00:27:37.829 you this the first time we had an episode. I 00:27:37.829 --> 00:27:40.730 was inspired by more of like flowers and stuff 00:27:40.730 --> 00:27:43.150 because how they bloom and how they go through. 00:27:43.549 --> 00:27:46.230 any kind of out there with the snow rain anything 00:27:46.230 --> 00:27:49.190 but they still continue to grow and bloom that 00:27:49.190 --> 00:27:53.509 was the first that was the that was the first 00:27:53.509 --> 00:27:58.910 primary inspiration behind um trying to find 00:27:58.910 --> 00:28:02.509 just a concept about it but then it became like 00:28:02.509 --> 00:28:06.930 hey Let's grab this and let's put the flower 00:28:06.930 --> 00:28:10.369 thing behind still a good concept Yeah, but also 00:28:10.369 --> 00:28:13.509 that's looking more personal than that and that's 00:28:13.509 --> 00:28:16.069 what a diary thing came in because I was I was 00:28:16.069 --> 00:28:23.029 young I used to have like what five four I write 00:28:23.029 --> 00:28:29.470 stories now Yeah and it's definitely amazing 00:28:29.470 --> 00:28:32.990 especially people that still have diaries or 00:28:32.990 --> 00:28:36.049 are young and they still, nobody know about that 00:28:36.049 --> 00:28:38.509 diary at all and he hears somebody like okay 00:28:38.509 --> 00:28:42.650 this is a experience that he's been himself, 00:28:42.869 --> 00:28:45.509 he's opening up and he's trying to share things 00:28:45.509 --> 00:28:50.809 that only he would know in his diary. It's the 00:28:50.809 --> 00:28:53.849 time to just be myself and i want this i want 00:28:53.849 --> 00:28:57.150 this album to represent that i want to be myself 00:28:57.150 --> 00:29:00.950 and come to be myself before all the creativity 00:29:00.950 --> 00:29:05.250 or all the um the like you know side missions 00:29:05.250 --> 00:29:07.789 comments like that you know i love a good i love 00:29:07.789 --> 00:29:13.589 a good extravaganza of an album cover or covers 00:29:13.589 --> 00:29:16.829 in a story and music videos but sometimes you 00:29:16.829 --> 00:29:20.289 just need to be black and white for somebody 00:29:20.289 --> 00:29:22.289 to get the concept that you're getting and that's 00:29:22.289 --> 00:29:24.470 why the album is black and white well that's 00:29:24.470 --> 00:29:29.400 why I'm black and white The hat is yellow because 00:29:29.400 --> 00:29:33.339 yellow represents more of like a girl's joy. 00:29:34.619 --> 00:29:36.799 Being resilient, being persistent. It's like 00:29:36.799 --> 00:29:39.799 that. Just growing in your own way. That's what 00:29:39.799 --> 00:29:41.960 yellow means. So that's why the hat is yellow. 00:29:42.380 --> 00:29:44.400 Because I want that to represent that. But also 00:29:44.400 --> 00:29:47.519 that's why I'm behind the curtain. Because I 00:29:47.519 --> 00:29:50.839 want you to see me as me. That's so dope. Everything 00:29:50.839 --> 00:29:54.119 else is a distraction. Let that talk for itself. 00:29:54.740 --> 00:29:58.460 Yeah. And what's so powerful within like, when 00:29:58.460 --> 00:30:01.359 you, like the diaries and stuff, that's private, 00:30:01.619 --> 00:30:04.019 like that's so private. And then when you give 00:30:04.019 --> 00:30:06.460 it to the world, it's like you're letting them 00:30:06.460 --> 00:30:09.599 into it, but not too into it. But I'm getting 00:30:09.599 --> 00:30:12.289 you, I'm giving you. some insight into who I 00:30:12.289 --> 00:30:15.069 am on a deeper level because it also gets to 00:30:15.069 --> 00:30:17.329 see who you are. Like you're still leaving a 00:30:17.329 --> 00:30:19.230 mystery but you're giving them some stuff that 00:30:19.230 --> 00:30:21.529 they probably are going through now. Like I always 00:30:21.529 --> 00:30:23.829 say to you maybe going through this or someone 00:30:23.829 --> 00:30:26.250 you may know are going through this and let them 00:30:26.250 --> 00:30:28.950 hear this because you never know. how much this 00:30:28.950 --> 00:30:31.069 will help them in the process because we feel 00:30:31.069 --> 00:30:34.430 like see like we all have bad days but do you 00:30:34.430 --> 00:30:36.490 go through the same thing that I went through 00:30:36.490 --> 00:30:38.609 like are you going through so have you ever been 00:30:38.609 --> 00:30:40.650 through this and how did you overcome this and 00:30:40.650 --> 00:30:43.349 just hearing it and how the way is on whatever 00:30:43.349 --> 00:30:45.170 instrument it's playing or whatever the beat 00:30:45.170 --> 00:30:48.720 is like wow because diaries, journals, and stuff, 00:30:48.880 --> 00:30:51.359 they're very secret. I have, like, I think I 00:30:51.359 --> 00:30:53.079 probably got a whole bunch of them in the house, 00:30:53.619 --> 00:30:55.119 like, once the book's gone, it's like, all right, 00:30:55.259 --> 00:30:57.059 on to the next. It's like a story. It's like 00:30:57.059 --> 00:30:59.920 a story of your life that you can look back on, 00:30:59.940 --> 00:31:01.900 too. Like, if I hadn't been, I gotta start doing 00:31:01.900 --> 00:31:03.880 this again. If I have a bad day, I need to go 00:31:03.880 --> 00:31:06.559 back into times where I was good and seeing, 00:31:06.819 --> 00:31:10.539 like, okay, damn. Even though it may be shitty 00:31:10.539 --> 00:31:13.990 right now. I have some good days, you know? And 00:31:13.990 --> 00:31:16.230 it happens to us, but sometimes it's like, do 00:31:16.230 --> 00:31:17.609 I want to constantly keep going through this 00:31:17.609 --> 00:31:19.150 back to back to back to back to back? And I have 00:31:19.150 --> 00:31:21.289 my moments, shoot, like a couple days ago, like 00:31:21.289 --> 00:31:23.789 going through this is hard, especially when you're 00:31:23.789 --> 00:31:26.509 an adult, like in your adult life, becoming an 00:31:26.509 --> 00:31:29.410 adult and stuff is hard as hell. And some of 00:31:29.410 --> 00:31:32.950 us don't realize that we have more good days 00:31:32.950 --> 00:31:36.029 than bad. So when a bad day do come, we break 00:31:36.029 --> 00:31:38.349 down and we don't remember the things that we 00:31:38.349 --> 00:31:41.950 used to do that made us happy. how many times 00:31:41.950 --> 00:31:45.029 we have been happy more than saying. So that 00:31:45.029 --> 00:31:46.769 actually does matter. I'm glad you said that 00:31:46.769 --> 00:31:48.930 to me. That was powerful. I like that. Thank 00:31:48.930 --> 00:31:52.849 you. You're welcome. It happens. It's so happening. 00:31:54.549 --> 00:31:57.210 What I tell people too, regardless of the time, 00:31:57.150 --> 00:32:00.890 that you hold, you're still a human being regardless. 00:32:01.029 --> 00:32:03.369 Because I feel like for me, I do not like to 00:32:03.369 --> 00:32:05.789 be bored. That's why I always feel like I have 00:32:05.789 --> 00:32:08.309 to be on the move. And then when something happens 00:32:08.309 --> 00:32:09.769 in the midst of me being on the move with one 00:32:09.769 --> 00:32:12.269 of my projects, it's like, what the fuck? Because 00:32:12.269 --> 00:32:15.359 it's like... Why is this happening? Not even 00:32:15.359 --> 00:32:16.980 with a project. It's just like with things in 00:32:16.980 --> 00:32:18.799 life, like if something's going on with this 00:32:18.799 --> 00:32:21.539 in my personal life, it's like, okay. Now professionally, 00:32:21.640 --> 00:32:24.359 I need to tap in on that side to forget those 00:32:24.359 --> 00:32:26.799 things. And sometimes it helps, but it's not 00:32:26.799 --> 00:32:29.599 safe because if you're not living in that moment, 00:32:29.839 --> 00:32:31.039 whatever's going on in your personal life, let 00:32:31.039 --> 00:32:34.190 it live and soak in it to understand it. Then 00:32:34.190 --> 00:32:36.630 for powerful for the professional side you can 00:32:36.630 --> 00:32:38.869 be like comfortable But some people are able 00:32:38.869 --> 00:32:40.609 to like put that shit on the side and get it 00:32:40.609 --> 00:32:42.930 together sometimes for me I can do it, but if 00:32:42.930 --> 00:32:46.069 it's really hurt. It's like okay I would say 00:32:46.069 --> 00:32:53.849 my thing is More of like I like being bored I 00:32:53.849 --> 00:32:55.829 like I like I don't get me wrong. I like going 00:32:55.829 --> 00:33:03.700 outside. I like put out there. You know I think 00:33:03.700 --> 00:33:08.480 being bored, it helps you, and sometimes it can 00:33:08.480 --> 00:33:10.920 hurt you, because sometimes you do stupid things 00:33:10.920 --> 00:33:15.680 when you're bored. But for me, for instance anyway, 00:33:16.240 --> 00:33:18.339 when I'm bored, I like throwing things like, 00:33:18.480 --> 00:33:21.579 I might not write a song today, or I might not 00:33:21.579 --> 00:33:25.059 write a song this weekend, but I know that I 00:33:25.059 --> 00:33:27.900 might pick up a book. I might just do something 00:33:27.900 --> 00:33:30.410 randomly like, let me go cook or bake. I might 00:33:30.410 --> 00:33:32.029 do something like let me go for a walk because 00:33:32.029 --> 00:33:34.630 the board days sometimes when you're not just 00:33:34.630 --> 00:33:37.630 doing work like you can do anything it's like 00:33:37.630 --> 00:33:41.509 you have this free will to just you know experience 00:33:41.509 --> 00:33:44.049 some new things or experience anything that you 00:33:44.049 --> 00:33:46.029 want to you never know if you're going to pick 00:33:46.029 --> 00:33:49.430 up a book and you like it and you want to read 00:33:49.430 --> 00:33:54.690 all the novels that the author wrote or you never 00:33:54.690 --> 00:33:58.420 know what you can cook or not because you You 00:33:58.420 --> 00:34:00.539 never cooked it so you that you experience and 00:34:00.539 --> 00:34:02.579 stuff especially when you're bored go experience 00:34:02.579 --> 00:34:04.660 something new and that's why I like to do because 00:34:04.660 --> 00:34:09.050 if you want inspiration not just writing but 00:34:09.050 --> 00:34:13.110 just like hey a different outlook on life or 00:34:13.110 --> 00:34:16.710 just give motivation to do things like you said 00:34:16.710 --> 00:34:19.610 get motivation to wake up and do the work that 00:34:19.610 --> 00:34:22.389 you have to do because sometimes I procrastinate 00:34:22.389 --> 00:34:25.789 and I had to tell my ass get your ass up yeah 00:34:25.789 --> 00:34:27.949 yeah so and it helps you though because like 00:34:27.949 --> 00:34:30.130 it's like don't you want another board day where 00:34:30.130 --> 00:34:33.010 you can do things instead of working 24 7 so 00:34:33.010 --> 00:34:38.289 yeah I love I love my board days me my big Now 00:34:38.289 --> 00:34:40.030 when you put it that way, I'm not gonna lie. 00:34:40.190 --> 00:34:42.409 It makes sense too because like I mentioned too, 00:34:43.210 --> 00:34:45.989 like once the process is going slow, live in 00:34:45.989 --> 00:34:49.309 it and then find ways to improve or enjoy it. 00:34:49.510 --> 00:34:51.809 Like for example, with the vibing out with guest 00:34:51.809 --> 00:34:54.650 appearances, it's been a minute since we had 00:34:54.650 --> 00:34:57.409 one, you know? So within the midst of that, I've 00:34:57.409 --> 00:34:59.409 been thinking of new ideas of how I'm gonna come 00:34:59.409 --> 00:35:02.300 back. Who will Tinch number draw shoot? Come 00:35:02.300 --> 00:35:05.599 to me, you know? Like, let's do this. Yes, and 00:35:05.599 --> 00:35:07.940 in the process too, it had me understand too, 00:35:09.500 --> 00:35:11.239 like, slow days are gonna happen, but once it 00:35:11.239 --> 00:35:13.650 gets back up. be ready and prepared for because 00:35:13.650 --> 00:35:15.710 when it got slow I still was pushing forward 00:35:15.710 --> 00:35:17.630 with Dime with E and whatever else I was doing 00:35:17.630 --> 00:35:20.949 but then learning new things in the process like 00:35:20.949 --> 00:35:24.010 okay like buy new glue equipment or looking at 00:35:24.010 --> 00:35:26.170 videos too and even doing some things that I 00:35:26.170 --> 00:35:29.269 put on the back burner like fashion is one thing 00:35:29.269 --> 00:35:33.210 that I love so much too besides y 'all gotta 00:35:33.210 --> 00:35:35.969 see this outfit I swear y 'all gonna see it with 00:35:35.969 --> 00:35:39.510 the pictures when we finish or whatever fashion 00:35:39.789 --> 00:35:42.449 Ever since I was a kid, like, you know, for kids, 00:35:42.750 --> 00:35:45.170 for the girls, they had, like, the heels. I can't 00:35:45.170 --> 00:35:48.090 walk on a heel for shit now at my big age. But 00:35:48.090 --> 00:35:51.010 little me, I can do that. I can do that. But 00:35:51.010 --> 00:35:53.650 now, no. You got to have more for a minute. I'm 00:35:53.650 --> 00:35:56.030 going to take them off. Good job. I can't do 00:35:56.030 --> 00:35:58.849 it. I can't. But the clothes, putting pieces 00:35:58.849 --> 00:36:01.090 together, jewelry and stuff like that together, 00:36:01.250 --> 00:36:04.289 it makes, I don't know, it makes me feel good. 00:36:04.610 --> 00:36:06.030 And then you feel like, I don't know, you feel 00:36:06.030 --> 00:36:09.179 like a... Yeah, watching a sitcom with that character. 00:36:10.000 --> 00:36:13.039 She just always eats when she's dressed. She's 00:36:13.039 --> 00:36:15.659 that it girl. Yes. Somebody like Tony. Like Tony 00:36:15.659 --> 00:36:20.099 Chales. Like the nanny and stuff. Oh, Fran. Well, 00:36:20.380 --> 00:36:22.420 Fran ate them pieces down. Fran put that shit 00:36:22.420 --> 00:36:27.480 on. And like movies and stuff like that, it inspired 00:36:27.480 --> 00:36:30.079 me more. And you see how they feel good when 00:36:30.079 --> 00:36:31.719 they in the outfit. So you want to put the outfit 00:36:31.719 --> 00:36:34.809 on. You want to feel like... Yeah, regardless 00:36:34.809 --> 00:36:38.429 of how the pieces look together is your way of 00:36:38.429 --> 00:36:40.389 expressing how you feel like that's the style 00:36:40.389 --> 00:36:42.610 like impacting going back to like your album 00:36:42.610 --> 00:36:47.449 cover that that can mean so many things. Like 00:36:47.449 --> 00:36:50.230 the day I became sacred again, just doing stuff 00:36:50.230 --> 00:36:53.889 that really impacts with me. Like even though 00:36:53.889 --> 00:36:55.630 it's small, like even being out of school and 00:36:55.630 --> 00:36:57.409 then working and stuff, I still want to feel 00:36:57.409 --> 00:36:59.710 free because I'm still young as hell. Yes. Like 00:36:59.710 --> 00:37:01.849 I'm still young. I still deserve to have fun 00:37:01.849 --> 00:37:03.590 and do these things. But also too, I need to 00:37:03.590 --> 00:37:05.690 find me in this process. And I would say that's 00:37:05.690 --> 00:37:10.309 another thing too. Why the name is so, so good 00:37:10.309 --> 00:37:14.010 and the name it means so much because You're 00:37:14.010 --> 00:37:16.929 an early 2000 baby. I'm an early 2000 baby. When 00:37:16.929 --> 00:37:18.710 we was growing up like that and the recession 00:37:18.710 --> 00:37:20.730 was happening like that, we didn't hear nothing 00:37:20.730 --> 00:37:23.130 about that. I'll present something like that. 00:37:23.250 --> 00:37:25.909 We had no candy world. We was watching cartoon 00:37:25.909 --> 00:37:31.050 It's like we felt good though. All childhood 00:37:31.050 --> 00:37:33.309 was so good that it didn't feel like we were 00:37:33.309 --> 00:37:37.070 in danger Every day so it's like for us to be 00:37:37.070 --> 00:37:40.650 2000 or 2000 babies and us to feel that and then 00:37:40.650 --> 00:37:42.949 we feel when we get older We see the world changing 00:37:42.949 --> 00:37:45.849 as well. It's like I want not just for ourselves 00:37:45.849 --> 00:37:49.420 babies, but I want everybody to get back to how 00:37:49.420 --> 00:37:52.639 they used to feel back then. Because that matters. 00:37:53.019 --> 00:37:54.440 It's like a lot of stuff that we used to do back 00:37:54.440 --> 00:37:58.019 then that made us happy that we forget about 00:37:58.019 --> 00:38:02.980 because we're going through a world crisis. Please, 00:38:03.579 --> 00:38:06.679 let's at least let that have that. Let's go and 00:38:06.679 --> 00:38:11.380 still be here, just like a bill. Oh, God. And 00:38:11.380 --> 00:38:14.400 let's have fun. Turn up. Learn your lessons and 00:38:14.400 --> 00:38:17.460 turn up after that. That was actually good. I 00:38:17.460 --> 00:38:21.500 like that. It's like one of my friends said, 00:38:21.539 --> 00:38:23.059 once you hit rock bottom, where else you want 00:38:23.059 --> 00:38:26.099 to go? Yeah. You just want to go up from there. 00:38:26.360 --> 00:38:28.300 It's like that's it. That's true. That's true. 00:38:28.500 --> 00:38:30.820 And for me, it hits hard because it's like, too, 00:38:31.139 --> 00:38:33.300 when you say you're having a good day, it's like, 00:38:33.300 --> 00:38:34.880 something feels too good. Something about to 00:38:34.880 --> 00:38:36.699 happen. And most of the times it happens, but 00:38:36.699 --> 00:38:38.559 it's out of the blue. It's like, damn, you got 00:38:38.559 --> 00:38:40.659 to be careful what you wish for, too. Yeah. That's 00:38:40.659 --> 00:38:42.619 a big thing, too. And that's another thing, too, 00:38:42.639 --> 00:38:44.699 when you wish for it. and then it doesn't come 00:38:44.699 --> 00:38:47.579 on time and you forget about it and then it happens 00:38:47.579 --> 00:38:51.559 randomly and you say oh oh my god just too much 00:38:51.559 --> 00:38:53.760 well you can't say that babe you wish for that 00:38:53.760 --> 00:38:57.480 so now you got it so carry on put them shoes 00:38:57.480 --> 00:39:02.659 on pitch your sneakers on like my girl Vanessa 00:39:02.659 --> 00:39:06.179 said and keep on carrying on because you wish 00:39:06.179 --> 00:39:08.219 for it you got it now and obviously God gave 00:39:08.219 --> 00:39:10.079 it to you for a reason because you know that 00:39:10.079 --> 00:39:12.320 you can do it and you can handle it not just 00:39:12.320 --> 00:39:14.610 because you deserve it You can do it as well 00:39:14.610 --> 00:39:17.909 too. So keep on doing it. You can not handle 00:39:17.909 --> 00:39:20.909 embarrassed like it hit me because I was like 00:39:20.909 --> 00:39:23.769 it's a lot in life that people don't understand 00:39:23.769 --> 00:39:26.130 because when they see you in this light they're 00:39:26.130 --> 00:39:30.610 like oh that ain't gonna mean shit to them. What? 00:39:31.309 --> 00:39:34.230 I had somebody tell me one time because they 00:39:34.230 --> 00:39:35.889 didn't know where I work at. They didn't know 00:39:35.889 --> 00:39:39.389 where I work at. Or they didn't know like what 00:39:39.389 --> 00:39:42.460 I do because I always piss about my music. You 00:39:42.460 --> 00:39:45.440 gotta leave a mystery certain stuff. Somebody 00:39:45.440 --> 00:39:47.880 was saying, oh, I thought she was rich. Why would 00:39:47.880 --> 00:39:51.119 you think that? I am rich. And my power and my 00:39:51.119 --> 00:39:54.000 vibes, money -wise, we're getting there. But 00:39:54.000 --> 00:39:56.860 the vibe, I'm rich. Yeah, but you know what they 00:39:56.860 --> 00:40:00.860 meant. They meant money -wise. Who told you that? 00:40:00.920 --> 00:40:04.719 Because the image. Yeah, he said, yeah, stop 00:40:04.719 --> 00:40:07.760 putting the image or stop putting the point of 00:40:07.760 --> 00:40:09.679 view, which is so funny because I have a song 00:40:09.679 --> 00:40:13.099 on the day I became sacred again called POV. 00:40:14.179 --> 00:40:16.480 And stop putting your point of view on people 00:40:16.480 --> 00:40:19.860 because you never know what they're doing to 00:40:19.860 --> 00:40:24.139 get by or you never know what they want to keep. 00:40:24.280 --> 00:40:26.380 private to themselves. Everything that's private 00:40:26.380 --> 00:40:28.559 doesn't mean it's a secret. Sometimes it just 00:40:28.559 --> 00:40:31.300 means they mind your damn business. That's it. 00:40:31.659 --> 00:40:34.199 So yeah, just let it go. You're entitled to tell 00:40:34.199 --> 00:40:36.039 anybody what you want to tell them, but you also 00:40:36.039 --> 00:40:38.219 got to be careful too. Some people you got to 00:40:38.219 --> 00:40:40.059 play, I don't want to say stupid, but you do 00:40:40.059 --> 00:40:42.300 got to play clueless. Yes. Because people will 00:40:42.300 --> 00:40:45.960 try to. dig a little bit more into seeing what's 00:40:45.960 --> 00:40:47.800 going on with this person. What's really the 00:40:47.800 --> 00:40:51.639 vibe here? That rich part. People see the image, 00:40:51.860 --> 00:40:54.219 but you're looking from the outside looking in, 00:40:54.380 --> 00:40:55.960 though. That's the thing, too. From the outside, 00:40:56.059 --> 00:40:58.369 looking like, wow, but... behind closed doors, 00:40:58.449 --> 00:41:00.630 we have bad days. And that's when I say to like 00:41:00.630 --> 00:41:02.929 content creators, all my friends and musicians, 00:41:03.170 --> 00:41:05.190 all that anything impact that you have to put 00:41:05.190 --> 00:41:07.590 your work out in front of people. It takes a 00:41:07.590 --> 00:41:09.949 lot because at times we don't want to do this. 00:41:10.110 --> 00:41:13.510 Like it'd be times where too that I have to force 00:41:13.510 --> 00:41:16.230 my well, I wouldn't say force myself, but sometimes 00:41:16.230 --> 00:41:18.150 I do have to force myself to say, you know what? 00:41:18.380 --> 00:41:21.079 Like, more like motivation. Yes, you have to 00:41:21.079 --> 00:41:23.880 motivate myself and then think about the discipline 00:41:23.880 --> 00:41:25.820 of it because sometimes we might not have the 00:41:25.820 --> 00:41:27.679 motivation. Think how to go back to the discipline, 00:41:27.900 --> 00:41:30.639 why I started being the consistent of it. And 00:41:30.639 --> 00:41:32.340 I'll be like, you know, going back to, you never 00:41:32.340 --> 00:41:35.300 know who is inspired by what you do, the message, 00:41:35.519 --> 00:41:37.099 the storytelling and everything. And I had to 00:41:37.099 --> 00:41:38.780 keep that in mind because it'd be moments where 00:41:38.780 --> 00:41:43.909 I'd be like, please, please, babe, like. You 00:41:43.909 --> 00:41:45.989 gotta chill out, but it's like you never know 00:41:45.989 --> 00:41:48.130 But even if I might not get it done right away 00:41:48.130 --> 00:41:50.829 long as it's done and it's up there on time That's 00:41:50.829 --> 00:41:53.130 all the mess cuz shoot I pre -record everything 00:41:53.130 --> 00:41:54.829 everything is pre -recorded cuz sometimes when 00:41:54.829 --> 00:41:57.530 it's alive. I feel like oh Yeah, you want to 00:41:57.530 --> 00:41:59.409 get you want to you want to make sure that she 00:41:59.409 --> 00:42:03.650 you know for comfort yourself Yeah, you want 00:42:03.650 --> 00:42:06.530 executed so I get it a lot of thing cuz when 00:42:06.530 --> 00:42:10.329 I started I Like the movie radio rebel. That's 00:42:10.329 --> 00:42:12.920 why I was trying to get I want y 'all to see 00:42:12.920 --> 00:42:14.619 me. I want y 'all to figure out, but not figure 00:42:14.619 --> 00:42:16.280 out, but I want y 'all just to hear the audio. 00:42:16.699 --> 00:42:19.519 But then people was like, I want to see the visual. 00:42:19.780 --> 00:42:21.400 Like, let's see this. And you know why we want 00:42:21.400 --> 00:42:25.300 to see the visual more these days? And it's ridiculous. 00:42:31.139 --> 00:42:36.920 It's bad, but let me hear me out. The attention 00:42:36.920 --> 00:42:40.460 spans are so short right now. It's like, when 00:42:40.460 --> 00:42:44.190 you read anything, or you just like say, people 00:42:44.190 --> 00:42:47.050 don't read like a lot of books anymore or newspapers 00:42:47.050 --> 00:42:49.809 anymore, anything, magazines. So like when they 00:42:49.809 --> 00:42:53.550 see a visual, they can, you know, obtain it. 00:42:53.590 --> 00:42:55.510 Yeah, grads want to obtain it and be like, hey, 00:42:55.610 --> 00:42:58.690 okay, I see her, I see what she talk about. And 00:42:58.690 --> 00:43:02.050 then sometimes people just like, they don't feel 00:43:02.050 --> 00:43:03.750 like, they just don't feel like it sometimes. 00:43:03.969 --> 00:43:05.630 Some people do like reading, sometimes they don't 00:43:05.630 --> 00:43:09.869 just feel like it. But it's... Yeah, yeah, yeah, 00:43:09.869 --> 00:43:12.030 they want to see the visuals, but guess what 00:43:12.030 --> 00:43:17.510 y 'all listen to open them ears Open your ears 00:43:17.510 --> 00:43:20.389 open them, you know open your ears and shut your 00:43:20.389 --> 00:43:24.170 mouth, okay? But that makes total sense because 00:43:24.170 --> 00:43:28.110 I just be like What do you mean you want this 00:43:28.110 --> 00:43:30.429 but it makes sense because yeah wants to see 00:43:30.429 --> 00:43:32.760 in the attention spans. Do you be like? because 00:43:32.760 --> 00:43:35.079 sometimes for me i be like look i don't want 00:43:35.079 --> 00:43:37.500 to sit up here so long but i'm gonna get this 00:43:37.500 --> 00:43:39.139 done because y 'all want to hear this and y 'all 00:43:39.139 --> 00:43:41.079 want to see this and i bet you feel the same 00:43:41.079 --> 00:43:44.340 way about these videos and stuff oh my god sometimes 00:43:44.340 --> 00:43:50.119 professional videographers call me i need some 00:43:50.119 --> 00:43:53.659 help these single solo videos truths i'll be 00:43:53.659 --> 00:43:59.469 doing i'll be stressing adding music Parts that 00:43:59.469 --> 00:44:02.309 I don't want to deal with I'm just here to be 00:44:02.309 --> 00:44:05.329 the musician, but I like learning so teach me 00:44:05.329 --> 00:44:09.409 I love it. We need to teach awesome. Yeah So 00:44:09.409 --> 00:44:12.590 yeah, y 'all as we slowly wrap up I want you 00:44:12.590 --> 00:44:17.170 to Think about I don't want to say the mess because 00:44:17.170 --> 00:44:19.030 we already did well Yeah, the message and the 00:44:19.030 --> 00:44:21.809 impact of this and the favorite moment of it 00:44:21.809 --> 00:44:26.360 right my what I want the impact to be. I would 00:44:26.360 --> 00:44:31.599 say more everybody just, just grasping that sometimes, 00:44:31.599 --> 00:44:34.739 you know, it's okay to fall on your face, just 00:44:34.739 --> 00:44:37.880 get back up and see where you can go yourself. 00:44:38.239 --> 00:44:40.460 You know, we have people that's on, that helps 00:44:40.460 --> 00:44:43.820 us and support us on our journey, but we so used 00:44:43.820 --> 00:44:47.119 to, we so used to... picking them up while they're 00:44:47.119 --> 00:44:50.219 falling on our journey, that they're supporting 00:44:50.219 --> 00:44:52.820 us to keep on going. It's like that. So when 00:44:52.820 --> 00:44:55.400 they do fall, and they say, leave without me, 00:44:55.539 --> 00:44:58.099 go. Sometimes it's not a bad thing. And you say, 00:44:58.260 --> 00:44:59.579 hey, I'm not going to leave you. Sometimes they 00:44:59.579 --> 00:45:01.960 want you to get there first so you can help them 00:45:01.960 --> 00:45:05.019 after. It's like that. So that's how I want everybody 00:45:05.019 --> 00:45:08.639 to get it. Like, help yourself first, and then 00:45:08.639 --> 00:45:10.619 you can help everybody else. Because how are 00:45:10.619 --> 00:45:12.380 you going to help people when you can't help 00:45:12.380 --> 00:45:15.440 yourself? That's the impact. And then also, I 00:45:15.440 --> 00:45:18.000 say that because I think like two weeks or one 00:45:18.000 --> 00:45:22.239 week ago, I put up on a questionnaire up on my 00:45:22.239 --> 00:45:25.340 Instagram of like the day I became blank again. 00:45:26.239 --> 00:45:30.059 And almost like, well, I got 30, 35 people. um 00:45:30.059 --> 00:45:33.480 to 40 to do a blank thing to say the day i became 00:45:33.480 --> 00:45:36.179 blank again they said the day i became myself 00:45:36.179 --> 00:45:38.659 again the day i became cute again the day i became 00:45:38.659 --> 00:45:41.059 crazy again the day i became they did their own 00:45:41.059 --> 00:45:43.340 little words and they felt like they had to get 00:45:43.340 --> 00:45:46.699 that out and that means so much to me um so you 00:45:46.699 --> 00:45:48.800 can see i made a video i made a collage video 00:45:48.800 --> 00:45:51.739 about it so you can even see the um video on 00:45:52.619 --> 00:45:55.059 My peach. Yeah, you can see my peach. Yes, it 00:45:55.059 --> 00:45:58.340 was dope. It was very good. So that impact matters. 00:45:58.599 --> 00:46:00.500 And then what else did she say? The creativity. 00:46:02.409 --> 00:46:04.309 Just going to the studio, I feel like going to 00:46:04.309 --> 00:46:08.510 the studio right when I felt the emotions. And 00:46:08.510 --> 00:46:12.610 some days I was happy and I said, oh yeah, I'm 00:46:12.610 --> 00:46:14.469 going to write this. I'm going to burn this track. 00:46:14.769 --> 00:46:16.829 I got this. And some days I went in there and 00:46:16.829 --> 00:46:20.190 I said, Cheryl, I got to finish this album. I'm 00:46:20.190 --> 00:46:23.130 tired. And then some days I was sad and I was 00:46:23.130 --> 00:46:28.429 crying. And I feel like you take those emotions 00:46:28.429 --> 00:46:33.119 and you grab them and then do the songs that 00:46:33.119 --> 00:46:36.019 match the emotions like one day i did cry inside 00:46:36.019 --> 00:46:39.199 the studio writing um my song that's on the album 00:46:39.199 --> 00:46:44.079 called step on my toes and if girl you're gonna 00:46:44.079 --> 00:46:48.079 hear it yes so so yeah i feel like that just 00:46:48.079 --> 00:46:52.019 um taking it day by day and just like keep on 00:46:52.019 --> 00:46:54.320 pushing and just like your emotions take over 00:46:54.320 --> 00:46:55.920 sometimes because emotions are not weak feelings 00:46:55.920 --> 00:46:58.239 are not weak they are actually strong and it 00:46:58.239 --> 00:47:02.019 makes you one of the the most alpha human you 00:47:02.019 --> 00:47:05.840 can be, because you are able to just express 00:47:05.840 --> 00:47:08.380 yourself, but also communicate that as well too. 00:47:09.139 --> 00:47:12.820 And in a positive and nice way, instead of just 00:47:12.820 --> 00:47:14.420 crashing on anybody. And I feel like that's what 00:47:14.420 --> 00:47:18.599 I did. I just put in my craft. Yeah, the journey 00:47:18.599 --> 00:47:21.039 is going. The journey is good. I was about to 00:47:21.039 --> 00:47:23.900 say, that's so powerful to end this off, because 00:47:23.900 --> 00:47:26.679 it's like... Gotta understand like what they 00:47:26.679 --> 00:47:29.099 have to nipsey hustle the marathon still continues 00:47:29.099 --> 00:47:32.260 your journey still continues and keep going Don't 00:47:32.260 --> 00:47:35.480 stop don't let nothing or no one stop you.
