a great episode. A lot of new followers jumped
on the YouTube page and our Facebook page. Thank
you so much. But on to the next one, episode
268, Slowly Climbing the Ladder. We have a interesting
guest with us today, young gentleman. I know
we were supposed to have him a while back. Unfortunately,
we couldn't get him on because there was a schedule
difference there at the moment when he was supposed
to come in. He was actually a hip hop artist.
He was actually doing music. But since the time
frame, he's evolved. to stand -up comedy and
also live interviews after bands down on 17th
Street. So this guy's been mobile. So he's one
of the first mobile guests that we have on the
podcast, so should be interested in. Ladies and
gentlemen, no further ado, we introduce Mr. Amani
to the podcast. What's going on what's going
on guys, it's your boy Amani we're here with
the chewing new podcast The first thing the first
thing I said when I saw you on On the invite
like so I saw the straight here down. Okay. All
right. Yeah cookie But then when I started to
watching your interviews, I hope this kid brings
a fro. I really hope Brings a throw in man. This
is gonna be Awesome, I already got the first
comment on here by, who's that? Hypocrisy? Hypnotics,
my boy. They go, I'm Manny, the man. You already
know, man. It's episode 268. I wish I was, when
I saw the episode number, I was like, maybe we
could let somebody else in. Let me get that magic
number on the next episode. Let's get 269, if
you know what I'm saying. That's what you were
worried when you walked in. He saw those black
couches. What happens after the podcast? You
got a special episode in store, man. That's an
adult version. No way. No, man. But first of
all, thank you for joining us here on the podcast,
man. I know we had scheduled something a while
back. Unfortunately, you know, like I said, time
frame was kind of off at the moment. But what
is it called now? Did the kids say it? Six, seven?
Six, seven? That was the last episode, yeah.
But first of all, let's start off. Man, tell
us a little bit about yourself, where you're
from, where you grew up, and how you... entrepreneur
into a lot of other things that are happening
on right now. Go ahead. It's all you. Yeah, man.
It was really interesting. I remember we were
going to have an episode way back. At the time
I was working. I was actually working. I was
doing dispatch while doing hip hop and things
like that. So I was pretty busy. My schedule
was working from two to ten. So I know we got
the episode at seven thirty. So that's working
out. Fast forward. I got a new job doing a lot
better. And so now I get out at five. And it's
crazy. Yeah, now I'm doing music, not only that,
but I've gone to that short form content creation,
making all these interviews as well. So it's
kind of like when worlds collide, it would have
been interesting. Like if I caught y 'all on
the street, we did an interview like that, or
I don't know. But now we got two, you know. three
interviewers in the same room. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
yeah. He's like, what about me? Well, yeah, it's
good to be on here, man. I feel like now I have
like a lot more to talk about than just like
music, which has also been going pretty good.
So that's good, man. So I mean, what about the
time I said you were doing music? Was it something
you say, you know what you just want to try something
new or was it something different on the horizon?
You know, let me go this direction. Even when
it came to music, I was making hip hop, but I
would also make some EDM tracks, some R &B. I
was making all kinds of stuff, some experimental
stuff. Now I did actually my most recent album.
It's called Anomaly. That's an EDM electronic
type album. Not any hip hop in there at all.
And then this is my last album that I've been
doing. But yeah, I don't know. I will say actually,
I can say a lot about the hip hop scene down
here. Um, you know, I'm not a hater, but you'll
see a lot of hip, you know, hip hop doesn't get
a lot of praise and support down here and a lot
of people can attest to that. So I see some people
that will eventually switch up to another genre
and stay there. I kind of do a lot of things
with the content creation. Wasn't really me like
trying to. find something new. I've always liked
different things like the stand up. But now with
my new job, I can I have the time to try out
all these new avenues. You know, back then my
old job, you know, when you're working like entry
level job, you want like some vacation or Hey,
I want to do this. Can I get the time off for
that? Or can I switch a shift? They'll be like,
no, if you bro, you know, they wouldn't really
they weren't working with me on that. So I wasn't
able to go out maybe like once or twice a month
or something like that. But now Man, as soon
as I clock out at five, it's go time, and I bring
my little go bag, I got my camera in there, my
microphone. Anywhere I hit, I can set up an interview
right then and there. So when you do the on -the
-go interview, is it something at the spur of
the moment, when you find something, you see
you're walking the... I mean, everybody and anybody
who's doing online mobile interviews is always
hitting the 17th Street scene, down in McAllen,
Texas. You find some... crazy characters out
there. Choo and I haven't had the opportunity
to go down there and do live interviews. I don't
think it would aspect right. No, you'll leave
me outside the alleyway. You stay here. I'll
be back. I'll be right back. With your snack,
right? Just man yourself while we're here doing
interviews. Did you get the interview? And his
pants down like, what an interview. You're supposed
to be two of you. Yeah, the other one's in the
alley. But those are different interviews. But
I know when you go down there, how, what's the
question I'm trying to ask? How is the, you know,
right there and then. I've got to do it here
now. This has to happen now. As opposed to like,
oh, shit, I'm going to get knifed. Right. Exactly.
I would say, honestly, I feel like it's very
oversaturated, the street interviews. I always
think of like when I do anything really is just
like, what are things that people are not doing?
You know, let me do something different. That's
usually what's been working for me, you know,
just for in music and just going on for years.
Right. And so a lot of the times it's, you know,
they're not really showcasing like positive things
about the valley. Not too many interviews about,
you know, the creative people, talent, you know,
here. Right, right, right. I hit the shots to
the flying walrus open mic every Wednesday. Oh,
yeah. And so I usually would frequent there and.
a couple times I would just have my stuff with
me. And you know, there's some talents that I
see and I'm like, Hey, you know what, I got my
stuff. Let's do an interview. Like I did one
with PSA. Oh, man, actually, I got young water.
He was on the podcast way back. He was at the
at the war and he was about to dip and he was
like, you know, we were just, you know, just
talking to each other and he was like, Oh, you
know, I like what you're doing with the interviews.
And I was like, Oh, actually, matter of fact,
hey i got my stuff right now let's do it he's
like oh for real you know i was like yeah set
up five seconds boom he got uh jesse jackson
on there too right both of them back to back
and y 'all can check them they're they're doing
numbers too those were um They got they're like
nearing like almost 10k views on each they're
getting there, but those are some good interviews
I just like to showcase different talents man
Going to different shows. I just went to shots
to Joe Martin He had a show with Orion 224 band
from Houston and I went out there I got to interview
them after the show. I got some other bands.
We got Street breed got that interview, too I
haven't tried counting. I've been basically,
I've been dropping an interview every single
day since the beginning of the summer. So it's
like every week I'll interview like three to
five people. you know sometimes even more like
if I hit a convention that's like 10 -15 interviews
you know so then I'll just edit them make it
a routine I'll get them from work you know edit
them post them boom next day sometimes I'll do
two or three I got this huge backlog oh you know
it's a pain though sometimes there's been a couple
times I'll post an interview and one of the artists
like hey bro I didn't I didn't like my vibe in
this interview like can you take it down and
like redo it and this is why we do our interviews
live But it's like, dang, I spent some time on
that interview. Or sometimes what really works
is it's a collaborative effort. I'll send a collab
request. Some people don't accept that request.
And I'm like, yo, bro, are you not trying to
collaborate on this? What's going on? So I'm
trying to make the most out of that content.
If it's just my audience seeing it, it's not
as effective as your audience is going to check
me out. My audience gets to check new art designs.
That's how it should work. And some people can
say, Yeah, I mean in a valley -wide sense like
this is the best thing for people to do You know
trying to empower the valley the community and
also get yourself out there versus you know,
there's people who low -key there's some people
who are just straight there's some people who
kind of try to leech or they try to take from
other people without trying to like put something
in the pot you know and i will say like if you're
an artist that you know just frequently hits
people up for shows that's that's fine i used
to do that but it's also if you're not going
to be there in the scene as well you're only
going to pop out like if they put you on a flyer
that's like bro like What are you, what are you
doing? You're not trying to, you don't actually,
it just shows you don't, you're not actually
caring about like the community, about the craft.
You're just trying to get a, like an easy come
up, you know? It's a bandwagoning kind of situation
going on there. But I mean, that's the thing
about, you know, when the situation is growing,
you know, it's, it's easy to jump on, but be
consistent and actually care about, about what
you're doing. Then that's, it'll show, it'll
show through eventually. I'm not asking why you
got to go to like every. every single event me
like I make it a habit I just I just like to
go out there anyway so it's just more like I
when I bring my camera stuff it just worked out
where I could get that content going but there's
some people man I don't know I don't know that
I'll say that I can I can talk because I've thrown
many shows in the past as well I've thrown a
lot so I just did an album release party back
on uh I think September Dang, I don't even know
my own dates. It was like September 4th, September
11th, one of those dates I did an album release
party. It was awesome. We had PSA, we had a lot
of performers. We had Nicole. Hypnotix was up
in there, man. We had the OG rapper. We had Matt
M up in there. We had a couple bands. Shouts
to everybody that went. I appreciate everybody
that pulled up for real. It was a blast. And,
you know, there are people that hit me up to
the show. Oh, I'm trying to perform. Could you
film me on the show? I'm like, you know what?
This is exactly why three years ago, I started
two years ago, I started a weekly open mic at
the Luna Sky Lounge. You're trying to perform.
Come out. It's free. Let me see you there. A
lot of people that perform on my shows, people
that I see active, you know, right. Pulling up
to my open mic, just like, you know, I see you,
you know, you've been engaging my stuff. You've
been showing up to the open mic, engaging with
the community. I'll put you on the show. I did
that with a lot of artists down here. I've given
them their first ever performance. Like Ethan
Esquivel. Have you heard of that guy that got
booed on stage? Yes. That was on my open mic.
And we can talk about it. I did see the interview
on that with the gentleman who was interviewing
him. He said it was actually staged. for it and
I was like, oh, okay. You know what? It works.
It works. And when he posted it. It was such
a flashback for me. Everyone was hitting me up
like, bro, what's up with your open mic? They're
doing people on stage. I was like, that video
was a year old. He held on that video for a whole
year, posted it. It did like a couple hundred
thousand on TikTok, a couple hundred thousand
on Instagram. I was like, and of course people
recognize the open mic. I think he tagged me
in one of them or something or in the comments.
My DM started getting flooded. I was like, yo,
what's going on in here? And people started coming
to the open mic from that viral video. And I
will say, shouts to him. He's been also grinding
and posting all that content. Y 'all seen it.
But I gave him his first performance there. I
gave Hypnotix his first performance. It was at
the open mic. Now he's doing all kinds of things.
He threw his album release party. And I don't
say that to kind of be like, yo, this was because
of me. But it's more like I recognize that's
how I'm keeping track. All these people are doing
great. I mean that in the sense that they started
out being involved performing at open mics. They
didn't just hit me up out of nowhere being like,
hey, I see you got a show. They were just already
there. And it's not something you got to be invited
to. It's just show up. Just be there. You know
what I mean? That's what an open mic night is.
It's open mic. So all the people that try to
perform, just pull up to an open mic. That's
your problem. You want to perform so bad, do
it. But if you don't go to an open mic and you're
only trying to get on shows, that just tells
me, like, you're not actually trying to perform
and, you know, engage. You're just trying to
get clout. And that's all you just care about,
like, how it looks. Like, you just want your
name on a flyer. Right. And a lot of these rap
shows are literally just open mics with extra
steps. It's just, they got people on a flyer.
They all perform one at a time, do a little set,
everybody applauses. They got the same amount
of people. You got 20 people on open mic, they
get like 20 rappers on a set. Y 'all seen those
flyers, man. I've been on those shows too. They
have like 15, 20 people, everyone perform one
at a time. That's the open mic, especially...
when you've technically had to hit them up and
sign up beforehand. Right, right. Just go to
open mic, man. Yeah, okay. I mean, I've seen
the flyers for the open mic nights. I've heard
a lot of on radio when I'm driving around, coming
to work, going back home from work. You hear
the opportunity open mic night on Wednesday night,
open mic night, the Sunrise Bar in Brownsville
on a Tuesday. You know, they used to be open
mic night down in here. This was back in What
was the name of that bar? Harper's bar? I think
that was the name of the bar back then. It was
on the 493 in Farr, Texas, right in between McAllen
and Farr. It was a little bar. It was Johnny's
Barbecue. He has a little bar next door. They
used to have live bands and they would bring
their own equipment. You're a guitar player,
bass player, singer. You go do your thing and
the band will follow along or take over the band
set and play, have your band play. And that's
what's so cool about open mic nights, man, because
it's raw. It's raw. It's fun. You get the full
effect on those on those artists. You know, this
is what they really are, who they are. I mean,
they go up on there and do a poor show and they
go, now we know not to go see him live. You know,
I would say people that finally get a booking
and they'll give like an open mic, like unrehearsed
type performance. Right. Just because they haven't
actually been on stage practicing like these
open mics as practice and. It all just comes
back. It's exposure man. Yes. It's basically
exposure what you're what you're aiming for when
you go on an open mic night Yeah, man. So so
doing that doing all these uh These events itself
You're doing the interviews now. You have to
have a couple you say you're doing them since
the summer already. Yeah, there's got to be a
couple of interviews where you're like Why? Did
I do this? And never again. Has there ever been
an interview where you say, you know, never again
or remind myself to stay clear? I'm going to
call this guy Charco. Why do you call him Charco?
Because they're everybody goes around it. You
know, we can get into it. We can get into it.
Absolutely. Yeah, definitely. Well, you don't
have to name names. I ain't going to name names.
I just give exclusive details. Just an exclusive
detail more or less. Well, for one, you know,
if I spent time doing an interview I edited in
my mind I'm like yo this is a masterpiece and
I don't know I don't know how this is gonna come
across I will do it but of course like I already
said it before this is the easy one but like
if I have to go back take it down and like make
it to your liking like I'm not getting paid to
do this then it's like I should charge for revision
in that sense I don't know but it's like I'm
taking out my own time to do that as a hobby
and now it's come now it feels like work I don't
want to do that again but um Man, never again.
Shoot. Oh, you know what? This isn't an interview
that I did. I was on an interview. Okay. This
was in DT. They just caught me lacking, walking
around, man. All right. And it was one of those,
but like, dude, there was this guy asking like
some freaky questions, dude. And it wasn't actually,
you know, I'll say, was it a guy? I don't know.
I don't even know. But they were just like, you
know, they just walked up. I came over, I was
there in my squad, they're like, what are you
here for? And I'm like, oh, you know, I'm just
chilling, walking around and just immediately
they're like, what's the freakiest thing you
ever done? You like, and then they're just like
all up on my ear and I was like, yo, bro, like,
what's going on, man? I don't know, if there's
a clip out there of me looking real uncomfortable,
it's out there, man. I don't know. Where's the
most freaky thing? I was like, this podcast,
this interview is the freakiest thing I've ever
done, bro. Stuff like that, yeah. I got caught
off guard on one of those RGV, McAllen street
interviews. That would be the things. I'm not
doing that. That shit again, bro. Hell no. I
see him with the lights and the little crew.
I start like swerving around and they start moving
the camera. I'm like, no, hell no. Most of my
interviews have been pretty pleasant. I will
just say like there's a lot of interviews I keep
in the backlog in the sense of like I have to
kind of prioritize. Like when there's like someone
that shouts at an event that's going up, I'll
probably try to get that one out first versus
someone like, oh, you know, I just. I don't know,
like I grow flowers. I don't want to like put
anybody down or something, but there's been like
some, oh, actually I will say this, this is a
little funny thing. A lot of my interviews are
actually low key awkward as fuck. Sometimes I
mess up a lot. Like I have to run back the whole,
the whole interview. I'll try to post some bloopers,
but the editing like that makes everything sound
so natural. There are people who, Oh, actually,
you know, I did go to a convention. I asked a
vendor, asked a vendor for an interview and he
was like, actually, no, because people ask me
and then they never post it. And then I'm like,
OK, like. Well, then you're not going to be right.
For sure, you're not getting posted if you don't
do this interview, but like a vendor was this
person. The first thing I want to ask that cook,
I know quite a few of them. I know what were
they selling? It was it had to be like some it
was a three three printed like, OK, now we don't
know anybody. I don't know. There's a lot of
3D printed vendors out here. I have interviewed
some ones that would like 3D print stuff that
like no one's doing. Like the quality is great.
They even sand the stuff, hand paint it, and
all this cool stuff. But, um, dang. I don't know.
It's funny because we asked him that question.
He's like, yeah, I'm not falling into that quicksand.
I'm not going to come back. All right, let's
talk about it. No, I mean, that's the beauty
about pre -recorded stuff, man. I mean, you pre
-record something and you have that interview,
you know, their goal, you're going out there
saying sometimes they're saying something that
weren't supposed to say or they mess up here
or or they got they got to watch what they say
on camera. You know, the beautiful thing is that
they get to go back. And they can actually tell
the interviewer, hey man, you know that spot
that where I sit this and, hey man, can you take
that off, man? You know all that racist shit
I said? Yeah. Turn up the volume on it. Turn
up the volume on it. Another thing I got to keep
in mind, well another thing. Had me a little
shook with that interview, the street one. I
would say shouts to my wife. I am married. See
Sophia, she's probably gonna watch this. So shouts
to girly. Nah, I'm kidding. I say girly a lot.
It's like in my vocabulary. But that's the first
thing I thought about when they're like. What's
the freakiest thing you've done? Favorite sex
footage? And I'm like, oh my god, y 'all are
gonna get put me in the dog house, dude. What
is going on? She's like, doggy stuff, for real?
Really? So she's like, nah, just kidding. A woman
never knows. You said you liked it, it's big?
What? Oh, hell no. Yeah, sounds about right.
Sounds about right. It's you? This is you. This
is you. Literally call him 4K. Everybody got
these 4K cameras now. You can't even be like,
oh, you know what? Nowadays, I'll be like, that
was AI, bro. That was AI. That wasn't me. That
wasn't me, that was AI. That was all AI. That
was not me at all. You know what? I'm suing everybody.
I'm suing everybody. Whoever recorded it, I'm
suing. Whoever made this video. On AI. On AI.
Everybody who's anybody now, man. Like I said,
17th Street is the place. to go and get content.
I mean, I've shot a lot. You will catch a lot
of stuff down there. Yeah. I mean, it's a penicillin.
Pretty much kids. But no, but you literally go
down and you try your camera. You're going to
catch something. I should have got this. Actually,
man, I parked my car. It's hard to find parking
in downtown McAllen. That's a big show. This
dude comes up, shouts to I went to a yard or
broke us that place. I don't know, they had like
this EDM thing going on, a lot of cool DJs, I
shot some content up in there. I get out my car,
what I assume, I don't know, I don't like to
assume, but there's a dude who was looking kind
of homeless and he was like, hey, can I wash
your car? Just give me, you know, for 10 bucks.
And I was like, oh, I don't got any cash. And
he was like, I got cash app. And I was like,
yo man, oh, I love that. They're evolving. I
was like, dang. I was like, with an entrepreneurial
mindset like that, you should, I don't know.
But I was like, you know, I was like, well, I
had to get to the event. I was like, hold on,
you know, whatever. I went to the, I had to check
in at the bar real quick. I came back and I was
like, you know what, here, let me, you know,
I cashed that bro. I was like, well, what's your
cash app? Homie, like there's a homie in the
car behind him, pulls out and he was like, yeah,
I got the cash app here. I was like, it's a dual?
I was like, you know what, how about this? I
was like, honestly, here's some money. I had
some chips in my car, a little. I didn't give
them like some loose chips or nothing, but they
were sealed. I was like, here's some chips. You
know, I was just like, you can wash my car or
not. Just please don't leave like water stains
on it. I literally washed my car that day. So
I was just like, if you're gonna wash it, I don't
know what you're gonna do. I don't know. Just,
you know, please don't like, you don't have to.
I come back. there's a scratch on my fucking
car what yeah like on the on the driver's side
door i was like man y 'all are the worst car
washers We gotta we gotta take care of the homeless
man, they got a lot of food shelters out here
Shouts to if you look at where's underscore Stephen
25 shots to Stephen the bartender He posted on
his story, some food shelters, people can get
some food. I know, because they better cancel
the SNAP EBT on some people right now. Yes, yes.
I have a couple of buddies who are feeling the
effects right now. So now they're saying all
these girls out here, you don't got to treat
them to Gucci and all that. You just got to take
them to McDonald's now. The price is going down,
fellas. The price is going down. It's a trap.
Is that too much? It's a trap, yeah. No. No.
I am a silver lining kind of guy. No. I'm an
optimist. I've seen some scandalous shoes out
there, man. No. No. They ain't said foot in McDonald's.
No. Oh my god. Okay. You went far too far. We're
turning two left right now. Let's bring them
back to the center. No, they're being into it.
They can't interfere. I'm just kidding. They're
being into it. She's the girl's right. They deserve
the world and stuff. Well, you know, since I'm
sitting between two married men, I'm just gonna
stay quiet. Yeah, shut your mouth. Alright, so.
Oh, shit. Sorry, man. But no, dude. So, God dang
it. You just threw me that much curve right there.
You guys swung and I missed. It's a stand -up.
I'm doing a stand -up now, yo. What the fuck
up, man? That's right. It's a stand -up thing.
I saw the actual episode. I think somebody was
videotaping or you filmed yourself. Yeah. And
I'm not sure. What was exactly was that? That
was at Station 1 Bar and Grill in Harlingen.
Okay. Yeah. Really good spot. Very low -key pricey,
but like the food is so good. They have like
a pecan pasta recommend that I got some sliders
really interesting drinks shots to honest booking
He hosts the open mic there. Okay. All right,
I believe Dang, I wish I knew if it was if I
was there on a Monday or a Tuesday But y 'all
check out honest booking go check out that flyer.
I'm pretty sure it was a Tuesday night No, it
was a Monday night It was a Monday night. Yeah,
you need a good laugh on a Monday. It was dope.
I brought some board games. We were doing that.
But then I was like, you know what? I wrote some
jokes that day because I was watching a lot of
Kill Tony, a little roast battle, all that. I've
been watching every comedy special on Netflix
for years. I've always been able to kind of tell
some jokes. My favorite joke was, I said, someone
told me that I look like the kind of guy who
pays child support using Cash App and H -E -B
coupons. Yeah. Thank you? It's like, I don't
know. Thank you. I was kinda dusty that day,
so I was like, you know what, let me save. At
least I sent the bar somewhere. I think of some
other jokes along the way. What about that one?
I thought it was funny. I was like, what's something
like some broke ass dudes in the valley be doing?
I don't know. You want to like tell a joke where
the punch line is kind of like weird, like something
out of left field, like the surprise factor.
Right, right. It's also like low key, there's
gotta be some like weird ass dudes that do that.
Like, hey, you know what? Hey girl, like I got...
I got $25 off. We got a free lottery ticket.
I'm gonna give you that. Don't tell the judge.
Keep it low key. It's those people who are like,
hey, actually, I'll pay child support, but let's
not take it to the courts, all right? Let's keep
it low. They don't pay nothing. There's a lot
of people who are like, my baby daddy don't pay
child support. Are you taking him to court? No.
And I was like, well, man, this is a hot take.
Like, no, that is a hot take. I don't know. If
you're broke and you don't have to take child
support, you're not gonna pay the child support.
It's like... Yeah, you have a point. You do have
a point. This is what happens. But, you know,
I'm not gonna mean everybody. There's a lot of
dynamics that go on. I don't know. But, man.
I can see that. You know, can't pay child support,
but I'll buy you groceries, you know, so you
shut the fuck up. Really, can you believe me?
They put you on camera right there. I'll go to
H -E -B, buy you that bag of, you know, frozen
hamburger patties so you shut the fuck up here.
Jesus Christ. The judge is like, bro, you owe
her like a thousand dollars. Where is it at?
Where is it at? I'll go get it. So you're doing
these comedy stand -ups over in Orange, man.
That was my second one. That was your second
one. Yeah. How was the first one? I mean, I'm
pretty sure you did the first one. It's kind
of, you're nerve -wracking, like, oh, man, here
we go. You can see the footage. I'm always, like,
kind of shaking left to right. Performing, I
kind of got the flow in it. But, um, bro, these
aren't even real glasses. These are frames. Yeah,
I just wanted to, I wanted to, I saw that this
isn't a real leg. I wanted to. I just want to
relate to the the visually impaired want to be
politically correct But um, yeah My first one,
I will say, at the very least, I didn't bomb
the first two times. I got some laughs. The first
one was a little rough. My first joke that got
laughs, and this is like the dumbest joke I ever
thought of, was what do you, what sound does
like gay ambulance make? Oh, God. Here we go.
Weiner, weiner, weiner. I could say, oh my God.
I got gay friends. I can say, no, no, no. I said
it was a good joke, I could say. Real facts,
real facts. Oh my god, dude. I read about the
gay community. I was like. I'm going to be listening
for you now. Yeah, I'm going to be here. We're
going to get the letters. The letters are coming.
Jesus Christ. On that note, we still have a sponsor
for the podcast. I don't think so, man. It doesn't
feel like it. We'll be right back, man. We'll

show, actually, last couple of days with their
music selection. I know the Halloween special

was no sound on it, so they are working on it
as we speak. But be patient with these guys.
They got some good episodes to listen to. You
put two drunk monkeys in a room, dude. It's good.
Something's going to happen. The proof will fly.
Three junk muggies. Three junk muggies. Three
of them. Yes, there's three of them, Jesus Christ.
But anyways, we're back with Amani here. Man,
dude, Jesus. Disclaimer I'm an ally of the LGBT
community We have an actual TV Monitor screen
on the wall where the guests can actually see
those comments come in It's going down. It's
coming down, man. You're all right. You're all
right. You're all right. You're all right. You're
OK. You know what? If it helps, meaner. Wow.
Wow. Stand together, man. I'm not an ally. Now
the name, Amani, right? Yes. OK, I know you're
real. Actually, is Isaac Newman? Yes. Okay. Well,
I mean, we're getting to the degree here. Why
not everything about this kid? Come on, man.
And I say kid because I'm way older than you.
Okay, boomer. Hey, thank you. Appreciate that.
Thanks. I know my buddy's watching or listening
to that. Be pissed off. Don't go there. Do we?
That was the name of my puppet. It was the name
of the boomer. So thank you very much. Yeah.
Second thing out of the bag, you don't know more
about me. But anyways, and yes, you probably
have questions later on. What are you talking
about? Oh yeah, it's a whole different world.
You don't want to know about everybody. But anyways,
how did you come up with the name, man? How did
that resonate? Man, my mom actually came up with
it. Oh, really? Because my middle name is Amani.
Oh, yeah. I took a money new man. I just it's
the full legal out there. But yeah. Yeah. So
I at first. Well, really. Yeah. I was like, not
a lot of artists. I want you know, I want something
unique, something meaningful at the same time.
So I wanted like a little bit of my name in there
some way somehow. But I thought it was really
cool. Yeah, it was just my middle name. I thought
it was really cool. Very different. You know,
the African roots in there. You know, I was doing
hip hop, so I thought it was very authentic.
And that's just what it came out to be. Yeah,
it's different. You know, not too many other
Amanis. Well, actually, in the beginning, it
was hard. I had to start. I started off as Amani
hip hop, Amani space hip hop on Spotify. I changed
it later to Amani. My Instagram is AmaniHipHop,
but that's because there's a rapper called Token
and his Instagram is TokenHipHop. And that's
because when he started out, same story, there's
a lot of tokens technically already out there.
And when you put your music out, There's like
a limit like they only allow like Spotify only
allows like 14 15 of one name There's like a
bunch of Amani's and another thing is if you
have a bunch of people releasing music It's hard
to like stand out on the algorithm, right or
they search you you don't come out But all they
got scroll and they never find you. Yeah, so
it was either I was like our first I need us
get some foundation as a money hip -hop I got
some streams then I changed the name to Amani
made a new profile everything and now when you
type in a money on Spotify Apple music It'll
actually pop up. It wasn't doing it at all So
or if you search up a money hip hop or money
music artist on Google, I might I might be on
the first or second page or whatever. But back
there, you can find me at all on the pages unless
you have the hip hop attached. Right. So the
life hack. But you got to goes back to making
yourself stand out, man. Now I'm growing out
the fro. I used to have kind of, if you scroll
back to my interviews, I had like a low -top
date. Well, that picture on your... Oh, yeah.
Right there, that picture right there, you see
how like, okay, which one are we getting? Are
we getting Mr. Slick or are we getting the nice
fro? That was actually at a hip -hop competition
in McAllen. They had everybody perform and I
was one of the winners. It was Hustletown Network.
They had other artists at Schema up on there.
I pulled up with some people. I had my wife there,
some fans. and shouts to had Nicole pull up.
Y 'all know about Nicole? Oh, snap. We'll get
into that. We'll get into that, man. It was there
and they all had Armani t -shirts and we pulled
up with everybody wearing the merch. Everybody
was like, oh snap, like what's going on, you
know? I performed my song, hop out, live. And
yeah, well, shouts to, I will say shouts to Nicole,
man. There's Nicole Alabeen. I got a little card.
I'll give some to y 'all later. She released
her album today called Signature. She's an EDM
artist. I featured on track number six. It's
called Pina Colada. There you go. I got a hot
verse on there. So Signature by Nikaela Bean.
Y 'all stream that. Y 'all can look it up. There
you go. If you will. She's been an artist. She
barely started out this year, but now she's popping.
She literally went from like a thousand followers
to 10 ,000 followers now. She's performing up
in LA and stuff. That's awesome. I say that.
because I am also her co -managers. Oh, there
you go. Exactly. Free promotion. So y 'all see
the progress she's been making. She threw her
album release party. It was interesting. Basically
we did a, it's kind of like a network we had
a little circuit. It was me, Hypnotics, and Nicole.
We did back to back to back album release parties
and they were each like packed. So we, once we,
shouts to really Jordan Scott. He also did shows
at the Luna. We all kind of figured out the the
you know the the method of how to you know the
promotion how long the flyers how to get people
engaged how to get people to show up at a mixed
genre show at that where nobody even knows who
we are we're not like you know celebrities and
things like that we're not like big artists like
you know the bands they have up and seen it but
how do we get people to come out and be like
you know it's gonna be a good time and it's that
consistency like first to start with mine i kind
of had that familiarity it did good we had some
food vendors barbecue shouts to smoked barbecue
Shouts to Big Worm. He owns the Luna Sky Lounge
up in Harlingen, Texas. Y 'all come out every
Friday. I've actually met him before. Yes, sir.
You like Big Worm? Hey, yo. I know. I've actually
been to the house. I was set. Been to his house.
Been out there. Been on, actually, with Rock
and Rudy. Went out there and did a show with
him. He always invited to a party. Unfortunately,
I wasn't able to go. I got sick because they
were throwing a birthday party for him there
at the mansion. But I didn't get to go. I didn't
get to go. Did you find out why they call him
Big Worm? No, I'm not. He's been a real power
player, man, in the sense that he's really trying
to get things going, especially for the hip hop
scene for us, smaller artists, independent businesses,
but it seems like. I will say Harlingen is kind
of starting to creak open for small businesses,
but there's already people who have been there
a long time that are, you know, are kind of getting
that favoritism. Like they're, you know, when
he tries to show throw events with the city,
they some some other events, they'll give them
like the whole big stage down everything for
him. They're like selling themselves short by
like giving them like not what everybody else
is getting. It's not fair in that sense. They're
not giving them the same opportunities. So I'm
kind of banding with him in the sense that we.
We're trying to get things going. But once it
pops open, we're not going to be able to roll
back. But it's things like that. We remember
who was kind of hating along the way, who was
kind of giving the cold shoulder. No hate on
Harlingen. I've been living there my whole life.
I love this town, man. But they're not empowering
in a small artist. I haven't seen a way where
they've kind of had a way where if you're a small
independent artist, they've opened up a platform.
That was... me up in the Luna Skylines. There
was no, there's no, I will say confidently in
Harlingen, I don't think there's any other place
where you can go to a place with no background,
no platform, no fans, no nothing. And within
like a month, like you already are established
in a community that want to, you know, that like
your stuff, you're getting some streams, you're
getting some practice, you're getting good advice
from actual established artists who are checking
out your stuff and we just kind of band together.
in Harlingen, Texas, at least. Other than, oh,
Shops to the Hop Shop open mic out on, they're
like, man, fuck you. Shops to the Hop Shop, I
think they're on Wednesdays as well. At the Hop
Shop, they throw shows over there. But the Moon
Rock also has an open mic. But I will say, I
feel like mine really feels like a strong community
of many artists. And I take a lot of pride in
that, in creating that. When you talk about Harlingen,
I mean, way, way back in the day, uh to jam out
with uh with my old band i mean the only places
i ever played in harbinger was probably like
the cop lounge uh that was the only place that
we actually would go in there in the rock bar
scene where where else was there i mean there
were other places but i mean It was, you had
to know somebody to get somebody to get you in
there. You know what I mean? If that makes any
sense. The main attraction, well, I mean, like
I said, Orange has grown through the years, so
I'm pretty sure there's way more areas for upcoming
new artists. They do have events, you know, they
got the, they got RioFest. Before, they used
to let people sign up for RioFest and they would
vote. And I actually got the top five most votes.
I was just beaten by like, you know, already
established bands, but I got like a couple hundred
votes and the top bands that won only had like,
like three, 400 votes. I was like a few hundred
votes away from actually getting picked. And
that's when I, that was before the open mics,
everything. I was basically nothing. So imagine
now. Yeah, you know, it was like man it had they
open it up for vote like I probably would have
gotten to set honestly Yeah, now with the social
media guy, you know, I post some social media
content reals. Hey guys go vote for me You know,
I feel like I would have had a shot at this year's
real fest, but they already Set it up now, but
that probably would have been the best way to
open it up to the community You never know there
might be upcoming rising artists getting fame
You would have never known and they get a whole
bunch of votes. They perform a real fest. Whoa
check this guy out you know um and it's true
what you say madam to have social media on your
back on your They're in your back pocket now
in your phone to do that. I mean it's for me
Seeing that now is like an advantage. Yeah, you
know back then it was like you had to hustle
after you have to go sell your CD Show the flyer.
You have to tell people hey, you got to show
up. Oh, here's a ticket You know, this is what
time we go on come on by check us out. Well,
I know it seems like that only accounts for like
part of the reason because like yeah You heard
him and so like he was a couple away from getting
getting done, you know in the show. Exactly.
I mean, I'm sure if they had taken this presence
online into account, it would have, you know.
Yeah, that's true. But they're not they're not
really it's not really happening. Yeah. And it's
like you said earlier, down here in the RGB,
being a local artist, and I always say it and
I'll say it again and no offense to any other
the bands are out there or any less doing their
art out there. If you're not if you're not Latino
music, if you're not country music. That's a
sticky situation. Even then, if you're a solo
artist, that's probably gotta be the hardest
thing. The hardest one. Because I'll even say,
shouts to this, I manage another band. Shouts
to Joy Valley. Joy Valley, y 'all can see them
on Instagram, Joy Valley Band. With me getting
shows and bookings, even paid shows, it took
a long time. Joy Valley, all we had to do was
record. We performed at an open mic, a couple
of open mics. We've got the footage, put it on
the internet, YouTube and everything. We sold
merch at that open mic. We sold stickers at that
open mic. We made like, like hundreds of dollars,
like right off from the get -go. Cause people,
you know, it's, it's my brother, younger brother's
band. And so our kind of already knew the formula,
but like in a, like a month already paid bookings
of like, like hundreds of dollars from there
versus like as a solo rapper, you, maybe you
might get like, I don't know, like between 20
and 50 or rappers they nickel and dime you man
they'll make you a lot of rappers are paying
to perform or selling tickets to perform do not
do that do not do it i have not done that i never
will f that it's it's not do not pay for a slot
it never works out there's people who are like
oh maybe i'll pay like 700 dollars i'll open
for um like i'll open for clayton's that's how
much they they That's how much they they charge
out there. That's that's a slot that I was offered.
They're like was 700 Jesus and some some people
took this up, but there's already rappers There
was rappers there that pay I know they paid that
price and they're thinking well I'll just take
the footage and recycle on Instagram and things
like that. Oh, whether you're a Clayton's or
anything like that. It's the same You don't gotta
pay you could You could be at Clayton's, you
know, I mean up in there and it's through some
content I actually get more views or stick around
probably do what I would probably would have
done is like stick around at Clayton's and do
an interview with the artist and you're getting
the same coverage. You could get the same coverage
from the artist paying 700 because they're going
to check his profile, check the video and everything.
And then you got to interview with them, collab.
Right. There's just better ways to do it. And
it's also just as a brand once, as soon as you
pay a slot or sell tickets, what I heard, especially
from promo, they just see you as, oh, this guy
is going to pay the money because on every show
these people that are paying the money and those
people that they are paying they're taking your
bread and they're just giving to somebody else
so it's like if you want to be on the other side
of the fence do not give them that dollar because
you're already telling them like hey don't even
try to you know offer me and I'm actually gonna
pay you why would I why would a promoter or organizer
be like you know what let me see what I can offer
this guy there you know there's some bands actually
yeah there's some this happened and I know this
where there's some bands who are like oh I'll
do a show, I'll play for free. And they were
actually the host was actually not the host.
I'll just say organizer was actually anticipating
to have to pay them. But they're like, oh, you're
free. OK, cool. They'll take that. It's not like
an evil thing either, though. I mean, if they're
willing. But it's like, you know, you have a
budget for the show that leaves more budget for
other things. But it's like, as an artist, you
got to be able to have the budget for the base.
Now, there is another side of it where there's
a lot of people who are like, yo, like. Now when
I'm now when it comes to like collaborating like
I'm worth like if I came out and I was like Yo,
my interviews are worth $100. You want anything
to me? It's like a hundred bucks. It's like You're
kind of stunting yourself, you know, there's
some people who are worth that. But you know
if you're hot like Feel like my rap features
are pretty pretty hot, you know, but I'm not
like charging up front I got in a song with you
know, Nicole. She dropped their albums. She has
a feature She has cap G on that album if I charge
her up front they probably woulda you know, they
probably What about eight, you know, there's
probably not in my budget, you know, they got
a we just spend it on a catchy feature You could
miss out on opportunity like that If you weren't
willing to just work, there's a lot of people
that got on really like big collabs just by,
you know, being there to work there, just be
there, not, you know, putting up that price wall.
But especially if you're a real artist, a real
creative, that's how I saw, I kind of got to,
I would get offended sometimes like, bro, like
we're both really dope artists. I'll get if it's
like maybe like somebody who's like doesn't got
the work ethic, a waste of time or whatever.
Okay, let me pay me. So at least it's worth it.
You know, some people, you know, but Sometimes
they'll be like, yeah, I charge this much. I'll
charge like a hundred bucks. I'm like, that's
crazy how I charge a hundred bucks. That's why
my features are, you know, let's meet in the
middle and let's not charge each other shit.
How about that? That makes no sense. There's
a stifling creativity. And in essence, I'm like,
man, you're not really creative, bro. You're
like, uh, you're like, uh, just being greedy,
bro. I don't know. That's I feel like people
shouldn't. You gotta find what you're worth.
I mean, you gotta find your worth when you're
out there, especially if it's an artist. It's
like a spectrum. You gotta find what you're worth.
If you know you got the shit, you know you can
spin the mic, you can shred a guitar, you can,
you know, whatever it is that you do, and you
know you're good at it, you find your worth.
You know, you throw a number on the table and
people look at you and they're like, well, I
don't know. But a lot of people just say, you
know, mosey on to something else. I would think
that it would be more of a, you want to collaborate.
You know, people are coming up. Right. And there's
a new medium and stuff. Like, you know, he's
coming up. So like, like he said, instead of
me charting you and you charting me and we just
digging each other, how about we just come up
together? I would say until, like, you can drop
a song that, like, independently makes like a
hundred bucks from the streaming revenue alone.
You're not worth like a hundred bucks for just
flat from there just straight up not a hundred
bucks like in realistic value I know people some
people feel like they're very talented. I'm the
same way like I don't my stream I'm not like
blowing up on the streams, but I will say I do
feel like my versus my My contributions would
be worth like a hundred bucks if I had to price
it like a hundred hundred fifty I go hard on
the features. My feature game is crazy Everybody
watch my fans can attest to that. Well, I mean,
isn't that the way it used to be? Like if you're
guaranteed money in the bank that, you know,
people like an investment like I know it's going
to generate. So it's worth it. Right. There's
artists from New York. I'm dropping an album.
There's artists from New York. I paid five hundred
dollars for a feature straight up. But he his
songs get like like like hundreds of thousands
of streams. And like in the first like, you know,
in the first, you know, go around. And so that,
you know, that's like an investment. But it's
like if it's if you're not even breaking like
10 ,000 monthly streams and you're like, bro,
like I'm worth like 100 because I'm really it's
like it's good to feel like that. But it's also
all I'm saying is actually I don't even want
to hate. I'm speaking generally. I'm just saying
my advice is you're losing out on other opportunities.
That's it. I don't mean to hate if you really
feel like that. By all means, I'm not gonna like
judge you and be like, aw, this guy, he ain't
worth that much. You know, a lot of people have
really dope verses. Actually, I will say this,
Young Water has been going, crushing it in the
game. So has Jussie Jackson with the verses.
They charge like around, I think like between
like 75 to 100, but their verses are like really
fire. So it's like, that's why I'm like, it's,
I don't know, I can't dictate, I can't say, don't
do it. you know because you know some people
probably do pay those verses you know sure but
that's just where i lean is like i'd rather not
you know if anyone wants to collab just hit me
up you know i'll work it in the lights go yeah
there you go let's grow let's collab and grow
together yeah yeah pretty much pretty much yeah
that's the way it basically it It should be done
that way. You know, everybody's trying to, like
everybody, like there was that crab, a barrel
of crabs and everybody's trying to get out, you
know, and you just got to help each other out.
See one gets out, help everybody else come out
of that barrel. Don't try to yank the other person
down just because he didn't make it to the top.
You know a lot about crab. Oh, a lot. A lot.
Way too much. Way too much. Way too much. Way
too much. For your age. I wanted to turn off
the camera for a second. I wish y 'all was bedtime
with this kind of thing. Oh, we're almost done,
man. We're about 53 minutes in. Oh, snap. Yeah.
We fly on this podcast. That's one question.
How long are your interviews, man? Mine? Oh,
you know what? I shoot for about like between
like five to 10 minutes. The ones I just recently
did is about like 20 minutes, but I cut them
down to like three minutes at most, maybe like
a minute to two minutes. So I keep the most engaging
content. I have to shave a lot of it out. Because
anything longer than three minutes, Instagram
won't promote it. They won't push it out to anyone
who's not following you. But that way, it is
good, though. I get the hottest minute of that
20 -minute segment. I mean, to be fair, on Instagram,
I've never watched a video, at least on Instagram.
YouTube, man, I'll watch. I'd be watching podcasts
and kill Tony. All those are like, how do your
shorts go? How do you shorts? I'm low key. I'm
low key neglecting Tiktok and shorts. I'm mostly
doing Instagram right now just because of that
collab feature. Tiktok, man, I have videos on
Tiktok that have millions of views. Actually,
my most viewed has 10 million. And it's like
a sketch to skits on Tiktok. I have 18000 followers
on Tiktok. But the algorithm now is like not
giving a fuck about me whatsoever. So I've been
I'll post some things on TikTok. I try to post
consistently, but it's like I'm stuck in that
like viewer jail. I don't know. Yeah. Until they
fix it up. Like I've been going pretty hard on
Instagram, but that's been pretty good. I will
say actually a couple of shout outs before we
end out. I will say just because these two guys
got me really started in the interview. This
is how it really started was it was at the. It
was at RGV Grown in McAllen. They did a show
and it was Matt M and Daniel from Tiny Studios
were doing interviews and they were like their
tune picks and things like that. And then they're
like, hey, actually, how about you try the interviews?
And I took it and I ran. They're like, oh, my
gosh, actually, you're pretty solid. You're like
a natural. And from there, they actually gifted
me that camera that I use. Right. And that's
the one I'm using. And ever since I just I've
just been flying off hitting them all and. Yeah,
so shouts to them, man. Who knows what would
have happened, I don't know. It's all good, man.
It's good to have friends in all places, man,
to help you out. They're willing to help you
out. You know, toss your right arm, left arm,
their left leg at you. I mean, their third leg.
No point. No, no point. But third leg activated.
Bionic goat, no. But anyways, now, man, first
thing first, man, I want to say thank you so
much, man, for coming out, dude. It's it's an
interesting podcast. When you have somebody on
our pod that's on the same field. that's doing
the same thing. I mean, I'm not doing live content
on the street the way you're doing it. Or I mean,
actual content on the street. Lord knows. Don't
do it. You know what? Fuck this. I'm out. But,
you know, do what you're doing, bro. That's awesome.
The street content, all that. Keep it up, man.
Keep it up, especially especially in live performances.
Like we have is the value recently interviewed
after the gig. you know doing stuff like that
that helps a lot only reason why is like if they
happen to see your interview on on Instagram
That person on the magazine, dude, I was there.
That band was badass. Oh, shit, these guys interview.
I'm actually going to get to know who they are
and get to the degree on who that person is playing
guitar. People have been calling me the started
calling me the Nardoir of the Valley. There you
go. There you go. They didn't reference. Hey,
whatever, dude. They know they know who you are.
And everything. Yeah. Yeah. They're being called
the Mexican Joe Rogan. I'm just saying right
now. It sucks. It sucks. I can see it. I can
see it. But other than that man, continue doing
your thing. Hopefully that comedy thing locks
us off for you, bro. Keep on doing the hip hop
thing on the side. Keep pushing your artists
forward, man. You've already been down to the
bottom. It's nothing but up. I mean, keep doing
what you're doing. That's all I can tell you,
man. Thank you so much. Social media, they can
reach you out, man. Anything you want to spit
out. I would say everything is Amani Hip -Hop.
A -M -A -N -I -H -I -P -H -O -P. It's Amani Hip
-Hop on Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, YouTube,
Twitter, or X, or whatever have you. Everything.
Just search up Amani Hip -Hop all together. No
caps, no spaces. It's like the opposite of MF
Doom, like all caps. All together. Y 'all check
it out, man. I just dropped an album called Anomaly.
Stream it. My favorite song. Everyone's been
liking that song, Joan of Arc. I don't know if
you heard of that one, but that's the one that
everybody's been chilling out with, Jonah Vark.

content live, going out there and doing your
thing. Once again, thank you so much for coming
