1
00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:33,800
talk no on this very fine day CM young how you doing today man I'm doing

2
00:00:33,800 --> 00:00:37,400
good bro how you doing man I'm doing fantastic a little tired little tired

3
00:00:37,400 --> 00:00:41,280
today midterm season kind of got me acting up but uh what did you what was

4
00:00:41,280 --> 00:00:45,080
that what do we just listen to right there that is actually unreleased that

5
00:00:45,080 --> 00:00:52,560
is called blowing up and yeah man this is one of them that my cousin and I

6
00:00:52,560 --> 00:00:56,320
produced this yeah mainly him I just kind of told him what I liked when he was

7
00:00:56,320 --> 00:01:02,960
making it but he would play the beat and I would just kind of go off a melody like

8
00:01:02,960 --> 00:01:08,000
the hook like and like kind of work around that with like words and

9
00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:11,680
everything okay so that's where you originate your lyrics from from the

10
00:01:11,680 --> 00:01:19,840
melody um yeah I a little bit of both of if I'm in the studio and we're working

11
00:01:19,840 --> 00:01:24,720
that's the creative workflow at the time is right work off a melody and um

12
00:01:24,720 --> 00:01:28,920
because I'm all about melodies and stuff whether it be the hook or a little

13
00:01:28,920 --> 00:01:32,640
break in the pattern of the verse but when it comes to storytelling which I'm

14
00:01:32,640 --> 00:01:38,200
also a big advocate for is um I like to you know kind of pace around headphones

15
00:01:38,200 --> 00:01:43,440
on alone and think of exactly what's on my mind because you know I've always

16
00:01:43,440 --> 00:01:47,920
learning always keep going with how to do rhyme schemes together and everything

17
00:01:47,920 --> 00:01:51,520
right I love to just make a story together like that you know so your

18
00:01:51,520 --> 00:01:56,760
story driven artist yes you can see yourself okay we had Vienna notarianni on

19
00:01:56,760 --> 00:02:01,000
the on the show yesterday oh yeah and she she responded in a very similar manner

20
00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:06,800
where she where she felt she felt like her music was very story driven are you

21
00:02:06,800 --> 00:02:10,240
familiar with Vienna notary on have you seen her at all the name sounds familiar

22
00:02:10,240 --> 00:02:13,480
yeah okay well she's a first year so that doesn't surprise me but actually

23
00:02:13,480 --> 00:02:16,840
before we continue if you can just kind of like introduce yourself yeah like

24
00:02:16,840 --> 00:02:27,080
where you're from yeah from Boston and see him young but yeah I'm a rapper and

25
00:02:27,080 --> 00:02:33,440
hip-hop I mean a R&B singer yeah I like to add like little elements and

26
00:02:33,440 --> 00:02:38,440
everything with pop and everything in there yeah man I did a tour at a high

27
00:02:38,440 --> 00:02:44,680
school that went down south we can discuss later on and then yeah just kind

28
00:02:44,680 --> 00:02:49,760
of built up a business called Toad Hill with my cousin and made some noise up

29
00:02:49,760 --> 00:02:53,720
north so yeah just bringing it down here I love that man great great great great

30
00:02:53,720 --> 00:02:59,200
so you're very proud boss and native yeah yeah you know even shouting out like

31
00:02:59,200 --> 00:03:04,480
your earlier code 508 yeah and turning that postal code into one of your bigger

32
00:03:04,480 --> 00:03:10,640
songs right right so my question for you is how was it like growing up in Boston

33
00:03:10,640 --> 00:03:16,160
and how do you think it affected you as a musician and artist if there's any

34
00:03:16,160 --> 00:03:23,120
correlation at all there's a there's a it's it's interesting with music cuz um

35
00:03:23,120 --> 00:03:28,080
there's a lot of musicians I think really like rappers all over the place but

36
00:03:28,080 --> 00:03:34,360
Boston's very like city city you know like everything's kind of together right

37
00:03:34,360 --> 00:03:46,280
and yeah so there's a lot of like a lot of like same like lifestyle up north you

38
00:03:46,280 --> 00:03:50,400
know right the stereotype of everyone's angry and all that is kind of true it

39
00:03:50,400 --> 00:03:55,600
kind of isn't but it's very like direct and hard-working okay and it's like you

40
00:03:55,600 --> 00:03:59,400
know kind of the mantra up there is like you better be doing something I mean I

41
00:03:59,400 --> 00:04:04,080
know that's really everywhere well how's the music scene up there music scene is

42
00:04:04,080 --> 00:04:07,080
there's a lot of like with Berkeley and everything there's a lot of like jazz

43
00:04:07,080 --> 00:04:12,320
musicians up there and and all that I mean you can say the same for here right

44
00:04:12,320 --> 00:04:17,400
yeah yeah the rappers coming out of Boston really I mean Millie's he's from

45
00:04:17,400 --> 00:04:21,960
Cambridge Joana Lucas is from Worcester so it's kind of a bad market to come out

46
00:04:21,960 --> 00:04:27,800
of not really sure why but um that's why you know I'm not gonna shy away from it

47
00:04:27,800 --> 00:04:33,720
but I definitely spread my wings around like here and places that will actually

48
00:04:33,720 --> 00:04:38,200
get my music lifting off you know rather than just staying in Boston and trying to

49
00:04:38,200 --> 00:04:41,440
like lift it off from there you know okay what do you feel is different about

50
00:04:41,440 --> 00:04:46,040
New Orleans and Boston itself not just from a musical standpoint but from even

51
00:04:46,040 --> 00:04:50,680
just standard of living you know just just living and cultural what's the

52
00:04:50,680 --> 00:04:56,640
difference you can definitely relax a little bit more definitely or Boston here

53
00:04:56,640 --> 00:05:01,360
why is that because not everyone's so uptight not everyone's just crazy in

54
00:05:01,360 --> 00:05:04,320
Boston at least there's a boss a stereotype man where's your accent

55
00:05:04,320 --> 00:05:07,800
where's that Boston accent give me a couple Jack Daniels and they'll come out

56
00:05:07,800 --> 00:05:13,080
like man um it's funny cuz I'll go back home people like you're singing y'all

57
00:05:13,080 --> 00:05:19,000
now like yeah happening you but um now that's funny man because yeah every time

58
00:05:19,000 --> 00:05:23,400
the more I'm down here the less it like the more it goes away the accent and

59
00:05:23,400 --> 00:05:28,360
everything completely understand like I'm from Miami Florida right and if I'm

60
00:05:28,360 --> 00:05:31,040
here long enough I start getting like a little country I'll start sending y'all

61
00:05:31,040 --> 00:05:35,120
and I'll come back home and my parents can't even recognize you know what I'm

62
00:05:35,120 --> 00:05:38,440
saying and the and the annunciation the style of what I'm saying so it's

63
00:05:38,440 --> 00:05:44,760
hilarious absolutely I saw you collaborate with a Hispanic artist dirty

64
00:05:44,760 --> 00:05:52,120
dirty right oh nasty now nasty yeah yeah nasty how was I like I mean what's

65
00:05:52,120 --> 00:05:55,720
the determining factor on who you collaborate with what is it that you're

66
00:05:55,720 --> 00:06:02,800
looking for an artist good music ear candy ear candy ear candy not just

67
00:06:02,800 --> 00:06:12,320
storytelling no not just storytelling I like to do I've always wanted to do a

68
00:06:12,320 --> 00:06:19,200
various amount of music you know right but also have a glue to it so intention

69
00:06:19,200 --> 00:06:25,700
behind everything I'm doing and I become a big fan of you know I started

70
00:06:25,700 --> 00:06:31,880
out with storytelling and that's what I still do now and with ear candy I've

71
00:06:31,880 --> 00:06:37,520
just fell in love with the you know what people want to hear and what I like to

72
00:06:37,520 --> 00:06:42,960
hear what I hear is my favorite music is storytelling ear candy funk soul stuff

73
00:06:42,960 --> 00:06:49,480
like that okay so to bring you know versatile to a song that I'm doing is you

74
00:06:49,480 --> 00:06:53,840
know that's inspiring to me and I want to spew that out more perfect man

75
00:06:53,840 --> 00:06:58,240
absolutely what what got you into all this what got you into music what was the

76
00:06:58,240 --> 00:07:01,280
deciding factor did it happen from a young age it happened recently yeah

77
00:07:01,280 --> 00:07:06,680
young age it was coping actually coping yeah that's a common common theme with

78
00:07:06,680 --> 00:07:12,600
musicians you know yeah music is coping so I'm sorry please expand on that oh no

79
00:07:12,600 --> 00:07:19,080
you get yeah it's funny cuz actually I started doing like I started like drawing

80
00:07:19,080 --> 00:07:22,680
like sketching everything yeah and then I would do a little like storytelling in

81
00:07:22,680 --> 00:07:27,480
a way of like writing books but it didn't really go far then I just started

82
00:07:27,480 --> 00:07:31,880
doing poems and like turned into like rapping and everything and like of

83
00:07:31,880 --> 00:07:36,160
course white rapper grew up with Eminem you know kind of make me know I could do

84
00:07:36,160 --> 00:07:42,960
it too but um yeah no it I fell in love with it right away and the scheme like

85
00:07:42,960 --> 00:07:46,600
the rhyme schemes of what to do and when you can tell a story from your own right

86
00:07:46,600 --> 00:07:51,560
passing everything there's something eternal you know internal that you can

87
00:07:51,560 --> 00:07:55,720
get off and get like off your shoulders and everything and it was like wow like I

88
00:07:55,720 --> 00:08:01,160
feel like I can I'm on top of the world right now so that later came into song

89
00:08:01,160 --> 00:08:04,160
structuring and how to make things better and yeah it's just been a love

90
00:08:04,160 --> 00:08:09,480
sense so going back what made you start with like poetry and and writing books

91
00:08:09,480 --> 00:08:12,680
where did that even come from because like from a young age that's kind of

92
00:08:12,680 --> 00:08:18,480
advanced for a young age yeah right um you know just like the typical childhood

93
00:08:18,480 --> 00:08:26,520
stuff you know a lot going on yeah my father was pretty abusive and then he

94
00:08:26,520 --> 00:08:30,960
would take off here and there and my mom was so busy working so many jobs that

95
00:08:30,960 --> 00:08:36,600
like she really didn't have time to even be with me my sister a whole lot so we

96
00:08:36,600 --> 00:08:39,960
would be like I don't know the people's houses a lot of the time and all that so

97
00:08:39,960 --> 00:08:46,560
okay I think maybe just coping like trying to do something right you know to

98
00:08:46,560 --> 00:08:51,640
get my mind off it and also the typical like artists where like you need

99
00:08:51,640 --> 00:08:55,200
everybody's approval and all that so I think I had a little bit of that in me

100
00:08:55,200 --> 00:08:59,400
until you know you feel you've you've used that experience to better yourself

101
00:08:59,400 --> 00:09:08,040
as a person absolutely yeah that's good to hear so you have a lot of songs you

102
00:09:08,040 --> 00:09:12,240
have a lot of release songs I noticed that you're a part of the you're part

103
00:09:12,240 --> 00:09:16,280
of the addition with the hip-hop and R&B release of for the culture yeah you know

104
00:09:16,280 --> 00:09:19,760
what was it like collaborating with all those musicians and what exactly was a

105
00:09:19,760 --> 00:09:25,120
role that you played man that was one of the greatest experiences because that

106
00:09:25,120 --> 00:09:31,280
was it's ran by Rainey and UP and they introduced all of us to what it's like

107
00:09:31,280 --> 00:09:36,760
to be in the industry which is you meet new artists whether you reach out or

108
00:09:36,760 --> 00:09:41,440
your agents or managers reach out and you know this that was it overwhelming at

109
00:09:41,440 --> 00:09:46,120
all yeah but in a good way it was it was fun because we're all in a room or

110
00:09:46,120 --> 00:09:51,160
over there and you know producers would line up and they play their beats and

111
00:09:51,160 --> 00:09:55,280
it's like who wants it and we will work with the producers so my friend messenger

112
00:09:55,280 --> 00:10:02,640
Jason Washington he was making this R&B record and yeah I hopped on it with

113
00:10:02,640 --> 00:10:07,280
these two R&B singers and it was incredible man it was just so fun being

114
00:10:07,280 --> 00:10:11,680
in the studio and like kind of like a songwriting camp in a way like oh how

115
00:10:11,680 --> 00:10:16,080
should we go about this or just giving advice like or input to like where

116
00:10:16,080 --> 00:10:23,440
to go about it you know was what was like the inspiration of that album I think

117
00:10:23,440 --> 00:10:28,800
really like just to show the world what this school can do and like what these

118
00:10:28,800 --> 00:10:33,640
group of kids can do because you know I mean everybody that steps foot on the

119
00:10:33,640 --> 00:10:37,120
fourth floor is dope you know yeah see a lot of the same people putting a work

120
00:10:37,120 --> 00:10:42,880
putting work being here producers and singers rappers and it's cool like to

121
00:10:42,880 --> 00:10:46,400
this day after four years I'm still meeting new people who I didn't know

122
00:10:46,400 --> 00:10:51,200
they were doing a certain thing you know like and it's just amazing what you can

123
00:10:51,200 --> 00:10:56,320
find like for example you know there's like some singers who do like backup

124
00:10:56,320 --> 00:11:00,880
vocals or like falsettos and you can ask them to come and like do some backup

125
00:11:00,880 --> 00:11:05,200
vocals for your song and then someone who does guitar or whatever so you really

126
00:11:05,200 --> 00:11:08,560
come together and like if you want something for your record I'm sure you

127
00:11:08,560 --> 00:11:12,120
can walk out in this floor and find something that I do there's no lack of

128
00:11:12,120 --> 00:11:16,640
talent here no I mean it doesn't even take much looking not much searching yeah

129
00:11:16,640 --> 00:11:20,320
it's I mean it's so accessible the amount of musicians out of here that are

130
00:11:20,320 --> 00:11:25,280
hungry you almost get used to it too like now you're like well yeah I'm not

131
00:11:25,280 --> 00:11:29,320
even questioning if someone's bad like they just I mean you're here for a

132
00:11:29,320 --> 00:11:35,040
reason yeah you're here as much as I am yeah you know so do you feel like you

133
00:11:35,040 --> 00:11:39,240
effectively with with album you effectively show the world what Lola

134
00:11:39,240 --> 00:11:46,360
can do yeah I mean with our record it was kind of like a slow jam but um couple

135
00:11:46,360 --> 00:11:55,920
records that were on their Piper Tavi they did um bless that is a hit I swear

142
00:12:42,720 --> 00:12:51,480
a hip-hop selection and they also had an R&B yeah so they had a B side so really

143
00:12:51,480 --> 00:12:58,080
it was pretty big album yeah I'm looking at it here wow yeah y'all got a lot on

144
00:12:58,080 --> 00:13:04,400
this album which ones were you a part of you were a part of so what yeah yeah

145
00:13:04,400 --> 00:13:19,560
here it is yeah that's tight was like was this a radio hit or did like the

146
00:13:19,560 --> 00:13:24,280
quality of radio hit quality of radio okay why do you think it didn't reach

147
00:13:24,280 --> 00:13:32,120
that level I'm not really sure I don't know if they have any more plans with

148
00:13:32,120 --> 00:13:38,240
marketing pushing this record out yeah but quality of this the singer right now

149
00:13:38,240 --> 00:13:45,280
Piper right amazing and messenger the same producer that did so what then when

150
00:13:45,280 --> 00:13:51,640
I was on I produced this and yeah man so I would love to see them push the market

151
00:13:51,640 --> 00:13:56,080
for this and blow it up because I don't see why not it can't be on the radio

152
00:13:56,080 --> 00:14:00,920
sink to anything like what do you think it takes for like a song to blow up

153
00:14:00,920 --> 00:14:05,320
because I've noticed like a like music can be really good I was just talking to

154
00:14:05,320 --> 00:14:10,240
one of the OR workers today he was working he we might mean my buddy Eric

155
00:14:10,240 --> 00:14:13,800
we just came back from a rehearsal and he noticed that we look tired and that's

156
00:14:13,800 --> 00:14:16,800
how we're doing oh we came back from rehearsal and he was like oh I'm a

157
00:14:16,800 --> 00:14:22,640
musician too and he's a rapper his stuff is on on Spotify one monthly listener

158
00:14:22,640 --> 00:14:25,600
it makes I'm like okay it must be bad if it's one monthly listener I'm listening

159
00:14:25,600 --> 00:14:31,400
to it's outstanding yeah so the music can be good but what is that next step

160
00:14:31,400 --> 00:14:39,480
for it to blow up on on the mainstream I mean sometimes there's so many

161
00:14:39,480 --> 00:14:43,280
different factors sometimes it's one of those things where you really got to

162
00:14:43,280 --> 00:14:49,400
just put a lot of a lot of music out and the more music you have the bigger the

163
00:14:49,400 --> 00:14:53,240
catalog more likely a chance that something's gonna stick you know right

164
00:14:53,240 --> 00:14:59,720
there's a lot of songs whether it's the Russ perspective of it with like an

165
00:14:59,720 --> 00:15:05,720
out you know a song a week and okay I must stick yeah if it's just but if you

166
00:15:05,720 --> 00:15:08,560
know if you keep putting out music and you don't really see a change maybe

167
00:15:08,560 --> 00:15:11,680
there's a different approach you need to take maybe there's market having hit

168
00:15:11,680 --> 00:15:17,440
yeah it's really about it's about finding your knee what I think is like

169
00:15:17,440 --> 00:15:20,640
it's about finding your niche what makes you different why should I care why

170
00:15:20,640 --> 00:15:27,400
even whatever so that and and finding your niche audience with people that

171
00:15:27,400 --> 00:15:33,120
sound a lot like you you know similar artists and kind of going after those

172
00:15:33,120 --> 00:15:37,560
fans and seeing where that can go but as opposed to like just a song like how do

173
00:15:37,560 --> 00:15:42,480
I make a song just blow up just hit I mean you know all the steps you could do

174
00:15:42,480 --> 00:15:45,800
all those like marketing techniques and stuff right at the end of the day you

175
00:15:45,800 --> 00:15:50,760
can do every marketing technique as possible and still sometimes it won't

176
00:15:50,760 --> 00:15:57,560
even hit I mean well on the topic of hit your your most fit your most streamed

177
00:15:57,560 --> 00:16:02,600
Spotify song is tonight I'm here I want to say yeah yeah yeah that was a fun one

178
00:16:02,600 --> 00:16:07,720
that was different too because I never do like EDM okay records and that was like

179
00:16:07,720 --> 00:16:10,640
do you think that's what was different about a wide that one kind of blow up

180
00:16:10,640 --> 00:16:14,920
more than more than others I think yeah I think maybe because there's a certain

181
00:16:14,920 --> 00:16:19,440
energy like when people say oh I knew it was a hit immediately there's a certain

182
00:16:19,440 --> 00:16:23,960
energy where I feel like it kind of starts with like I don't know about this

183
00:16:23,960 --> 00:16:28,840
one and you kind of just keep going with it just to see and it's that

184
00:16:28,840 --> 00:16:33,560
unknown that you're not it doesn't click you in that same perspective that you

185
00:16:33,560 --> 00:16:38,000
usually that same approach you take with your music right so when you hit

186
00:16:38,000 --> 00:16:42,520
different approaches by not knowing where it's gonna go I feel like that

187
00:16:42,520 --> 00:16:48,320
really brings out more of an authentic sense you know so I think just being

188
00:16:48,320 --> 00:16:53,120
your authentic self and that might be corny but however you can find that for

189
00:16:53,120 --> 00:16:57,640
yourself and it makes people it connects people more you know it makes

190
00:16:57,640 --> 00:17:00,680
them feel more comfortable with themselves because you know sometimes

191
00:17:00,680 --> 00:17:04,920
it's not easy to be your authentic self 100% of the time do you feel like you

192
00:17:04,920 --> 00:17:12,440
keep it real like with your authentic self yeah I've I've I mean I've struggled

193
00:17:12,440 --> 00:17:20,320
with not doing it too you know how so well honestly as of recently my cousin

194
00:17:20,320 --> 00:17:26,280
that did that song with me he was he did all the songs on my catalogue yeah and

195
00:17:26,280 --> 00:17:29,920
everything and we've been working and we're cousins so we were working for

196
00:17:29,920 --> 00:17:35,880
like seven years and just talking daily and working daily on music and

197
00:17:35,880 --> 00:17:41,400
promotion and this that everything videos and he passed away unexpectedly in

198
00:17:41,400 --> 00:17:48,920
May and I'm so sorry yeah I appreciate that man so it's been and he was you

199
00:17:48,920 --> 00:17:51,400
know I would go to him like oh I had this song can you mix this can you

200
00:17:51,400 --> 00:17:58,120
engineer this yeah so he did a lot so I think carrying a lot of the emotional

201
00:17:58,120 --> 00:18:01,960
and then also like the business side of it having to pick up the slack and

202
00:18:01,960 --> 00:18:08,440
learning what he did has kind of put me in like a mode of I gotta just like I

203
00:18:08,440 --> 00:18:14,360
gotta just focus and get this done and then look at my emotions more of like

204
00:18:14,360 --> 00:18:17,040
how I'm feeling about things how do you deal with that adversity when you're

205
00:18:17,040 --> 00:18:22,960
going through your emotions I don't even know I mean you said music was like your

206
00:18:22,960 --> 00:18:26,840
coping mechanism do you just go is it just like a cycle or just keep on

207
00:18:26,840 --> 00:18:32,320
writing you music because of how you're feeling some sometimes things could be

208
00:18:32,320 --> 00:18:38,760
so bad that I can't even write you know like I made a song about a week after

209
00:18:38,760 --> 00:18:43,320
finding out I found something he made this beat and it was like really cool and

210
00:18:43,320 --> 00:18:47,360
it was like really sad and shit so I took one of his voicemails and I put it over

211
00:18:47,360 --> 00:18:51,120
in the beginning and I was like this is so tight and I was like gassed up because

212
00:18:51,120 --> 00:18:54,720
it was like really good and I showed a couple people and they were like crying

213
00:18:54,720 --> 00:18:58,720
and I'm like oh word it's working like this actually has real emotion behind it

214
00:18:58,720 --> 00:19:03,680
and you know that gasses me up of course and it fuels that um that dopamine

215
00:19:03,680 --> 00:19:07,640
side of it but then you know we went to go record it and I was I was like I can't

216
00:19:07,640 --> 00:19:14,120
like I gotta I gotta sit on this for a little bit so we went back and we recorded

217
00:19:14,120 --> 00:19:20,800
it and it was good and just like keep going you know obviously forcing recording

218
00:19:20,800 --> 00:19:24,360
or writing to a certain point is like alright just walk away for a little bit

219
00:19:24,360 --> 00:19:29,600
yeah but um I think things like that it's tough but when you push through it's

220
00:19:29,600 --> 00:19:33,160
amazing what's on the other side because I have been through that before where I

221
00:19:33,160 --> 00:19:35,920
was like damn I don't know where to go with this I don't even want to do this

222
00:19:35,920 --> 00:19:41,680
right now but I'll keep pushing and what comes out of it is you know I think

223
00:19:41,680 --> 00:19:47,160
it's subconscious of what you what you want to do and when you release it

224
00:19:47,160 --> 00:19:54,760
like that you know amazing things can happen man that was I was touching but

225
00:19:54,760 --> 00:19:59,880
that would be tough on me you know losing someone that was so important to

226
00:19:59,880 --> 00:20:03,920
me as a person and a musician with the way that you carried on and you gave it

227
00:20:03,920 --> 00:20:11,080
you gave towards his legacy by forever encapsulating his voice memo into your

228
00:20:11,080 --> 00:20:15,800
song yeah so that's honestly props to you thank you with the music that you're

229
00:20:15,800 --> 00:20:21,400
making what market is it that you're trying to hit I'm really trying to hit

230
00:20:21,400 --> 00:20:27,160
I mean I look at like my demographic and everything and a lot of it's like like

231
00:20:27,160 --> 00:20:32,760
22 to 27 right it's like my highest and everything are you are you happy with

232
00:20:32,760 --> 00:20:38,120
that age group do you want would you rather be younger older I mean I'd rather

233
00:20:38,120 --> 00:20:43,120
be that than like you know way older or something like that but um you know at

234
00:20:43,120 --> 00:20:46,480
least people are listening exactly yeah exactly people are listening to you you

235
00:20:46,480 --> 00:20:52,960
have their attention you're speaking to them 100% I'd like to you know I wouldn't

236
00:20:52,960 --> 00:20:57,680
change my music for it but it would be nice to get like people 18 and under

237
00:20:57,680 --> 00:21:01,520
because that's a new generation coming up right and that you know that's the

238
00:21:01,520 --> 00:21:06,240
future they determine who's who what do you think you'd have to do differently to

239
00:21:06,240 --> 00:21:11,600
kind of appeal to them because it probably do the the typical like

240
00:21:11,600 --> 00:21:16,880
TikTok trends and everything that they like I mean I feel like that's maybe

241
00:21:16,880 --> 00:21:22,440
not the right answer no I mean that's that's probably the right answer I feel

242
00:21:22,440 --> 00:21:27,080
like you lose a form of authenticity when you kind of right resort to that

243
00:21:27,080 --> 00:21:32,200
right you know people have stopped making it about the music and they just

244
00:21:32,200 --> 00:21:35,720
want to make it the numbers on a screen you know the amount of followers amount

245
00:21:35,720 --> 00:21:40,160
of views you know music at its core is not about that I mean of course it's

246
00:21:40,160 --> 00:21:45,800
about the people that you can reach but it's who you can actually the people

247
00:21:45,800 --> 00:21:48,600
that you reach and what you can make them feel like how you mentioned earlier

248
00:21:48,600 --> 00:21:51,480
when you said it like the people are crying when they're when they're listening

249
00:21:51,480 --> 00:21:56,720
to the music how important is it for you to people how important is it for you to

250
00:21:56,720 --> 00:21:59,960
have the people feel when they're listening to music it's everything that's

251
00:21:59,960 --> 00:22:06,400
everything it's everything because I think with a lot of musicians artists you

252
00:22:06,400 --> 00:22:10,840
have this feeling inside of you and the first especially when people start out

253
00:22:10,840 --> 00:22:16,880
by coping the first thing is you're doing this because well you enjoy it but

254
00:22:16,880 --> 00:22:22,040
when you release energy you have whether that's anger sadness or excitement and

255
00:22:22,040 --> 00:22:27,640
you put it towards something for me for writing in like you know rapping with

256
00:22:27,640 --> 00:22:35,760
the cadence and everything is um pick up pick it up right here

257
00:22:35,760 --> 00:22:42,800
what's up nerve you're on a you're on the talk right now I'm on a little

258
00:22:42,800 --> 00:22:47,320
interview right now tell me if I say what's up it's Julio who the US is what's

259
00:22:47,320 --> 00:22:53,040
up hey man congrats on the show yesterday man I sent you DM I don't

260
00:22:53,040 --> 00:23:10,680
know if you saw though yeah man I love that come through come through absolutely

261
00:23:10,680 --> 00:23:25,320
man absolutely I'll talk to you soon man what were you saying before him fucking

262
00:23:25,320 --> 00:23:31,640
love that kid man God great guy so down earth dude he's the homie yeah but um oh

263
00:23:31,640 --> 00:23:37,600
yeah so yeah when you have all that energy and you release it into something

264
00:23:37,600 --> 00:23:43,280
you know you want people to feel the way you feel that's why you're doing you

265
00:23:43,280 --> 00:23:49,760
know and I people like it's cool obviously it's great when you are a famous

266
00:23:49,760 --> 00:23:55,000
musician you have fans you have the fame you have the money this that but yeah

267
00:23:55,000 --> 00:24:01,520
the real the real prize is to when the audience gets bigger that's more people

268
00:24:01,520 --> 00:24:05,160
who are getting your message because everyone's feeling the same way right you

269
00:24:05,160 --> 00:24:10,200
can get that from a conversation so if that conversation could be how I feel

270
00:24:10,200 --> 00:24:15,080
truly authentically with my story of growing up and how it was yeah and so

271
00:24:15,080 --> 00:24:20,040
when like my friend I played him flowers on the floor before it came out he was

272
00:24:20,040 --> 00:24:25,040
like what was that bogeyman song and that's what he remembered and I was

273
00:24:25,040 --> 00:24:29,720
describing my father as like a bogeyman in the house you can't get away from and

274
00:24:29,720 --> 00:24:33,720
he related to that because that that you know that's a that's a tough line and

275
00:24:33,720 --> 00:24:37,480
yeah you know I feel like my problem is when people are doing it just for them

276
00:24:37,480 --> 00:24:42,800
like just for the followers yeah just for that fame you know the industry plants

277
00:24:42,800 --> 00:24:47,400
they call them but yeah but I'm sorry you were saying go ahead yeah no man just

278
00:24:47,400 --> 00:24:55,120
like you you put that out and it doesn't always have to be like oh sad or this or

279
00:24:55,120 --> 00:24:59,080
that it can always you know like even the ear candy and like what you Michael

280
00:24:59,080 --> 00:25:03,600
Jackson said this was cool like your hook is your mantra an artist hook is a

281
00:25:03,600 --> 00:25:08,320
mantra so especially if it's called response like you have that crowd singing

282
00:25:08,320 --> 00:25:13,960
that with you and they feel a part of you so that's you know that's what it

283
00:25:13,960 --> 00:25:20,000
becomes and it's just amazing to have people feel the way you feel and it

284
00:25:20,000 --> 00:25:22,920
makes you finally feel like a part of something you know do you typically do

285
00:25:22,920 --> 00:25:26,760
audience interaction in your shows is that something that you do was that you

286
00:25:26,760 --> 00:25:29,640
typically do audience interactions in your shows like call and response how

287
00:25:29,640 --> 00:25:33,760
you were just mentioning with Michael Jackson yeah I like to do that a lot I

288
00:25:33,760 --> 00:25:39,000
um I used to be a really shy kid I kind of been feeling it this semester cuz

289
00:25:39,000 --> 00:25:42,640
like right my cousin and everything just trying to like keep my head down at work

290
00:25:42,640 --> 00:25:50,080
so I've been asked social but um I don't know what it was I think just like the

291
00:25:50,080 --> 00:25:54,680
biggest fear was like being social no as a kid and everything so I think like

292
00:25:54,680 --> 00:25:58,760
well I'm gonna have to go on stage anyways so yeah and from not being social

293
00:25:58,760 --> 00:26:02,720
to being on the podcast where people are gonna listen to what made you kind of

294
00:26:02,720 --> 00:26:06,160
break that cycle of the shyness and then hit like hit me up after I finished in

295
00:26:06,160 --> 00:26:10,480
the forum and you were like I want to be on the show where where did that

296
00:26:10,480 --> 00:26:17,800
come from and why did you want to break the shyness then that was you know the

297
00:26:17,800 --> 00:26:22,200
first six months of my cousin passing like it hit like crazy and I yeah went

298
00:26:22,200 --> 00:26:26,320
from so extroverted want to do this and that and just you know I'm hungry anyways

299
00:26:26,320 --> 00:26:32,360
so the the biggest fear was like just not being hungry anymore it's given up and

300
00:26:32,360 --> 00:26:36,560
I was like hell no I had this in me even if I couldn't physically get up and like

301
00:26:36,560 --> 00:26:39,920
actually do things so I was like all right it's time to come back to school and

302
00:26:39,920 --> 00:26:46,040
get this going so even if I don't want like it's not that I don't want to but

303
00:26:46,040 --> 00:26:50,640
it's something it's like this is tough I'm like you got to just do it and the

304
00:26:50,640 --> 00:26:57,360
reasons because I want to rebirth like I want to like feel alive again right

305
00:26:57,360 --> 00:27:00,960
which you know I don't want to go to the gym but I'm gonna go because it's gonna

306
00:27:00,960 --> 00:27:05,640
help my mental health it's gonna be tough to push through the studio and

307
00:27:05,640 --> 00:27:10,040
certain things but you know I want to be back in that and everything and because

308
00:27:10,040 --> 00:27:14,280
I've done it and doing it now I'm getting back in that mindset so I feel

309
00:27:14,280 --> 00:27:18,160
working I mean mental health is so important man I felt the gym is just

310
00:27:18,160 --> 00:27:21,640
absolutely so beneficial for your mental health yeah I feel like if I'm having a

311
00:27:21,640 --> 00:27:26,040
rough day and I go to the gym afterwards I feel great dude you I feel like I

312
00:27:26,040 --> 00:27:29,960
almost like look forward to if I have a bad day I'm like I know right after I'm

313
00:27:29,960 --> 00:27:33,920
doing good yeah something is for certain and that's I can go to the gym yeah get

314
00:27:33,920 --> 00:27:38,560
this to fuck off my mind whatever I'm going through focus on me you know and

315
00:27:38,560 --> 00:27:44,280
through that your music gets better depression goes away healthier I think

316
00:27:44,280 --> 00:27:49,840
the gym is just so important man I mean but yeah go on going back on the top I'm

317
00:27:49,840 --> 00:27:53,320
sorry I'm just I'm big on on health you know I think it's really important I

318
00:27:53,320 --> 00:27:58,400
think more people should feel the same way but I'm back on the top

319
00:27:58,400 --> 00:28:04,160
conversation of locals I want to talk about the local music scene with you

320
00:28:04,160 --> 00:28:08,160
and if like you feel like it's hard for you to keep up with the local

321
00:28:08,160 --> 00:28:13,360
competition like where exactly you stand with the local competition

322
00:28:13,360 --> 00:28:19,840
you mean like in New Orleans yeah I mean if you can even call it local

323
00:28:19,840 --> 00:28:23,920
competition because Loyola is more of a community community right right but um

324
00:28:23,920 --> 00:28:27,600
there are other people that are doing what you're doing you know so how do you

325
00:28:27,600 --> 00:28:32,280
feel like you stand with all them well when it comes to Loyola I mean I don't

326
00:28:32,280 --> 00:28:38,160
really I really don't think of anything as a competition I mean right like these

327
00:28:38,160 --> 00:28:43,440
like these people are family you know yeah and I've felt like family to a lot

328
00:28:43,440 --> 00:28:48,880
of musicians I can't really like think of somebody that hasn't you know and

329
00:28:48,880 --> 00:28:52,920
everyone just don't so down to meet each other and like work together and

330
00:28:52,920 --> 00:28:56,280
everything so I feel like as a collective kind of going back to the album

331
00:28:56,280 --> 00:29:00,120
like as collective not only is everybody dope but like everybody works

332
00:29:00,120 --> 00:29:03,720
together and hypes each other up like we would rehearse and all that but anyways

333
00:29:03,720 --> 00:29:08,240
yeah um like when we rehearse like everybody would hype each other up but

334
00:29:08,240 --> 00:29:17,840
um locally you know New Orleans has such a rich history of music and I think

335
00:29:17,840 --> 00:29:25,520
it's funny like as a white rapper from Boston coming here it's like you do have

336
00:29:25,520 --> 00:29:31,080
a lot to prove and also with the rich history here like New Orleans natives

337
00:29:31,080 --> 00:29:36,680
know good music right more than grew up with it more than anybody yeah like

338
00:29:36,680 --> 00:29:42,880
where jazz came from you know yeah man and like jet like so when when your music

339
00:29:42,880 --> 00:29:48,200
they think music is good like you're doing something right but I think as of

340
00:29:48,200 --> 00:29:52,520
like my time of being here it's been a lot easier to like get into venues and

341
00:29:52,520 --> 00:29:58,720
everything like people give them a chance and all that but um yeah man I

342
00:29:58,720 --> 00:30:06,400
mean like I think I don't know I don't know when it comes to rap in the

343
00:30:06,400 --> 00:30:14,800
competition I mean I think it's pretty I don't think it's that tough okay no and

344
00:30:14,800 --> 00:30:21,680
comparison to Boston 100% okay 100% because I think I think too is that um

345
00:30:21,680 --> 00:30:25,960
it's a lot of love there's a lot of hustle yeah absolutely there's a lot of

346
00:30:25,960 --> 00:30:32,200
love yeah on the streets too man everywhere crazy like a lot of these a

347
00:30:32,200 --> 00:30:41,200
lot like Alfred Banks, Pell, Ray, I forget his last name but they're really

348
00:30:41,200 --> 00:30:44,440
really good and I like follow them like early on like on Instagram and

349
00:30:44,440 --> 00:30:48,440
everything and to see where they're at now they just shot up like obviously

350
00:30:48,440 --> 00:30:52,920
within time though like they've kept that momentum going and that takes

351
00:30:52,920 --> 00:30:56,680
hustle that takes time and like like being a shark basically like you know

352
00:30:56,680 --> 00:31:01,680
I'm gonna fucking get it and at the same time they show nothing but love do you

353
00:31:01,680 --> 00:31:04,120
feel like you're ever gonna leave New Orleans after you graduate would you

354
00:31:04,120 --> 00:31:08,400
like to continue your residency and keep on creating music here do you want to

355
00:31:08,400 --> 00:31:12,160
eventually branch out somewhere else I definitely want to stay here for really

356
00:31:12,160 --> 00:31:16,960
graduate that's planned yep and then um and then you know branch out somewhere

lot more fun to oh a hundred percent laid back and everything yeah like do you

369
00:32:13,280 --> 00:32:17,880

Havren in Plymouth Massachusetts so why why all those states why the northeast well

375
00:32:47,520 --> 00:32:52,320
that's um you know Massachusetts bringing everybody together like I usually

376

would for shows and then Connecticut I have a lot of family there and then okay

377
00:32:56,360 --> 00:33:03,000
uh toad Hill Studios is like the company made my cousin all of his artists over

378
00:33:03,000 --> 00:33:07,720
years we've created like relationship with like their homies and everything so

379
00:33:07,720 --> 00:33:13,520
just we're trying to hit places that have really big fan bases basically

380
00:33:13,520 --> 00:33:18,800
right and um he knows some people in Pittsburgh and a cool fact is actually

381
00:33:18,800 --> 00:33:24,440
um my cousin married Mac Miller's best friend oh really yeah he was on tour with

382
00:33:24,440 --> 00:33:32,040
him most of the time like coming up like kids to like I think before what was it

383
00:33:32,040 --> 00:33:38,160
mirrors that sounds right I could be wrong wasn't too big on Mac Miller like

384
00:33:38,160 --> 00:33:42,520
his music but don't know that much about him yeah but um are you science will

385
00:33:42,520 --> 00:33:46,520
label or is this like an independent tour oh this is independent just yeah so

386
00:33:46,520 --> 00:33:50,280
yeah what was the process of putting this together on your own and with you

387
00:33:50,280 --> 00:33:58,720
and the lyrics yeah so I um I figured out like places I wanted to go right and

388
00:33:58,720 --> 00:34:03,640
we thought about okay travel where we're gonna stay so we I'm gonna say my aunts

389
00:34:03,640 --> 00:34:09,240
my cousins and my mom's house when we go to these different places and then um

390
00:34:09,240 --> 00:34:16,880
we'll get like a hotel Beaver Falls and Buffalo so those would be the only

391
00:34:16,880 --> 00:34:22,360
hotel ones and then we went online and we got a cargo van at Hertz so we got

392
00:34:22,360 --> 00:34:27,600
that going for us already put a deposit down everything and like like I said

393
00:34:27,600 --> 00:34:33,480
before I learned a lot from him so he was like let's do expenses and let's see

394
00:34:33,480 --> 00:34:37,800
what the last stop of the tour like what your final date will be so I finally

395
00:34:37,800 --> 00:34:40,840
got the booker to tell me the date it was a alright let's work backwards and

396
00:34:40,840 --> 00:34:44,800
now we hit up like Connecticut once they give us a date we're gonna go backwards

397
00:34:44,800 --> 00:34:49,040
to try to line it up perfectly so they all can follow within the same you know

398
00:34:49,040 --> 00:34:54,160
week or you know yeah around the same week cool what could fans expect to see

399
00:34:54,160 --> 00:35:00,080
on the tour a lot of partying a lot of partying a lot of partying and um that's

400
00:35:00,080 --> 00:35:06,400
another thing we're doing too is like we want to do some do some crazy stuff like

401
00:35:06,400 --> 00:35:10,600
with crowd work and everything I want to like fill up the killer or something

402
00:35:10,600 --> 00:35:18,760
like that and like a shot with hot sauce what yeah because I went to this show me

403
00:35:18,760 --> 00:35:22,080
and Adam is the name of the group and they're they went here but they're like

404
00:35:22,080 --> 00:35:26,800
they're doing like headlining tours and shit so they're killing it but I watched

405
00:35:26,800 --> 00:35:31,280
what they would do and they were just crazy like a motley crew type and what

406
00:35:31,280 --> 00:35:37,280
kind of banner they they do like indie rock mix with like pop mm-hmm but it's

407
00:35:37,280 --> 00:35:41,000
very like exciting basically you know what I mean it's not like too mellow

408
00:35:41,000 --> 00:35:46,800
or anything right but um yeah no so shit like that and then deep thought of this

409
00:35:46,800 --> 00:35:52,320
thing like getting a piñata filled with like nips or or I don't know candy or

410
00:35:52,320 --> 00:35:58,120
some shit and just to kind of get them more with it's yeah put me on the

411
00:35:58,120 --> 00:36:02,440
marketing team man let me get on tour with y'all some whippets and pills and

412
00:36:02,440 --> 00:36:06,280
yeah man that's awesome though what's your favorite song to perform when you're

413
00:36:06,280 --> 00:36:14,240
in the tour you know what are you most excited to play back home 508 100%

414
00:36:14,240 --> 00:36:18,640
508 508 a represent man got a represent what made you want to write the song you

415
00:36:18,640 --> 00:36:24,080
just fucking love Boston so much I think like oh you know what it was when I

416
00:36:24,080 --> 00:36:30,840
heard the beat I thought of like driving at night with like you know when like

417
00:36:30,840 --> 00:36:35,840
the city lights are kind of blurry at night that kind of right yeah there's a

418
00:36:35,840 --> 00:36:39,640
word for that I can't think of the word for it right now I just learned it to

419
00:36:39,640 --> 00:36:47,840
I fuck it go on yeah no man that that's really the thought and I was like all

420
00:36:47,840 --> 00:36:51,600
right word and it's weird because it like kind of like connected in a way

421
00:36:51,600 --> 00:36:56,200
because we had to record something all day and when we finally finished it was

422
00:36:56,200 --> 00:37:02,080
like someone's going down immediately so when we started recording this it was

423
00:37:02,080 --> 00:37:06,480
nighttime and then playing it back I was like this fits exactly what was in my

424
00:37:06,480 --> 00:37:13,040
head and I don't know when I was listening to the beat for it I was like

425
00:37:13,040 --> 00:37:19,400
this is such like an anthem slow like you feel like it's an anthem yeah that's

426
00:37:19,400 --> 00:37:23,800
like that's huge yeah man and it's it's incredible because like I did two

427
00:37:23,800 --> 00:37:29,280
headlining shows back home yeah and the first one that's fucking cool that's

428
00:37:29,280 --> 00:37:34,200
fucking cool dude it we overpacked it too it was like 120 cat we got a hundred

429
00:37:34,200 --> 00:37:38,840
66 people there Jesus Christ and they came to CCM young and they came to

430
00:37:38,840 --> 00:37:43,520
CCM young and they heard five away yeah and they were happy they were bro they

431
00:37:43,520 --> 00:37:47,040
were singing like the hooks to like I have a song called Sunday morning right

432
00:37:47,040 --> 00:37:50,560
which I mean I don't really think was all that good I freestyle that but like the

433
00:37:50,560 --> 00:37:54,480
melody in there was so catchy that they like really fucked with it they sang the

434
00:37:54,480 --> 00:37:57,720
melody yeah like they sing like the hook and everything oh you know a song is

435
00:37:57,720 --> 00:38:00,080
good when they're not fucking singing the lyrics they're singing the

436
00:38:00,080 --> 00:38:04,560
instrumentals yeah that's awesome I was like that's something else all right cool

437
00:38:04,560 --> 00:38:08,600
would you say that's been like your highlight of your career playing in

438
00:38:08,600 --> 00:38:16,320
your hometown yeah dude not the album here you just playing for your hometown

439
00:38:16,320 --> 00:38:20,760
album school album school that's very cool yeah it's very cool 100% it's

440
00:38:20,760 --> 00:38:25,440
amazing to be a part of something I feel like there's something more personable

441
00:38:25,440 --> 00:38:30,360
yeah playing for your hometown though because it's it's a reminder that you

442
00:38:30,360 --> 00:38:35,000
did all this by yourself right no absolutely and you did do all this by

443
00:38:35,000 --> 00:38:38,360
yourself yeah and not a lot of people can say that I were talking about industry

444
00:38:38,360 --> 00:38:41,440

00:39:22,520 --> 00:39:30,320
been on my bucket list yeah and I really don't know why but yeah I think just like

455
00:39:30,320 --> 00:39:35,480
cool foreign places really you know just Europe itself have you been out of the

456
00:39:35,480 --> 00:39:41,840
US yet no but you definitely plan you would you like to do like a tour out of

457
00:39:41,840 --> 00:39:48,040
the US 100% that'd be crazy world tour world tour I'd be exiled I'd be dead

458
00:39:48,040 --> 00:39:52,840
but the say I did a world tour holy shit that'd be crazy where would you start

459
00:39:52,840 --> 00:39:58,360
Boston Boston where would you end New Orleans okay that should be tight if I

460
00:39:58,360 --> 00:40:02,800
could like start in Boston go around you know do my thing perform in Japan that

461
00:40:02,800 --> 00:40:07,280
would be kind of as I'm playing in fucking Japan in Tokyo man like what the

462
00:40:07,280 --> 00:40:13,120
fuck you crazy so advanced you see those fucking bullet trains yeah have you

463
00:40:13,120 --> 00:40:17,000
seen that shit yeah bro I was watching this video the other day and I should

464
00:40:17,000 --> 00:40:20,200
just fucking it went right through and made everything shit but how do they do

465
00:40:20,200 --> 00:40:25,560
that it's like a different world out there completely like anything we do

466
00:40:25,560 --> 00:40:30,320
lately like you see those reels of like they're living in 2050 yes just doing

467
00:40:30,320 --> 00:40:36,520
these weird yes like the way that you food though and the food that they have

468
00:40:36,520 --> 00:40:40,560
their America's always gonna be on top though always 100% we can't exactly

469
00:40:40,560 --> 00:40:45,360
replicate Japanese food like them doesn't taste as good but our food is better

470
00:40:45,360 --> 00:40:53,480
supreme 100% 100% 100% so I got this question for you that's about your song

471
00:40:53,480 --> 00:40:57,600
writing abilities man all right how would you describe your song writing

472
00:40:57,600 --> 00:41:03,160
abilities that is probably one of the best if not the best aspect of me as an

473
00:41:03,160 --> 00:41:08,000
artist yeah that's where I started it's my favorite part I can imagine the

474
00:41:08,000 --> 00:41:13,680
fucking poetry writing your book writing yeah so you'd say it's up there yeah

475
00:41:13,680 --> 00:41:17,640
man absolutely I think that's I mean how do you feel the comparison of the

476
00:41:17,640 --> 00:41:26,880
other artists here um I appreciate a lot of what people do and you know I think

477
00:41:26,880 --> 00:41:31,000
I that's why I really connect with people is like when I hear somebody when I

478
00:41:31,000 --> 00:41:35,880
hear a song from someone and their lyrics hit I'm like damn like I really

479
00:41:35,880 --> 00:41:41,920
need to I really need to be in the studio with you yeah 100% like my friend

480
00:41:41,920 --> 00:41:46,400
Shinji he's amazing lyrically does he go here yeah young sinji

481
00:41:46,400 --> 00:41:55,880
yeah black man wonderland is the album he came out with and it went really big

482
00:41:55,880 --> 00:42:01,080
dude on tiktok and everything yeah but he he's real man and he uses like

483
00:42:01,080 --> 00:42:07,840
cinematic kind of like energy with like cinematic like sounds and everything and

484
00:42:07,840 --> 00:42:17,400
his story is incredible yeah like a movie yeah yeah with like he'll have you

485
00:42:17,400 --> 00:42:21,360
know like background singers yeah in a way kind of like how Kendrick would do

486
00:42:21,360 --> 00:42:25,600
certain things okay back rock singers and and make it that much more of a

487
00:42:25,600 --> 00:42:30,120
story rather than just a beat and you doing something like speaking you know

488
00:42:30,120 --> 00:42:34,040
you know I was listening through music and we're on the top of Kendrick Lamar

489
00:42:34,040 --> 00:42:37,200
just right now yeah but when I was listening to your music I kind of heard

490
00:42:37,200 --> 00:42:42,960
Jake whole man I heard some jake on the flow and the cadence yeah like who

491
00:42:42,960 --> 00:42:46,480
inspired your kid I know you mentioned Eminem earlier but let's get into let's

492
00:42:46,480 --> 00:42:50,240
get into the list of artists yeah yeah like who really got you into that flow

493
00:42:50,240 --> 00:42:56,120
and the cadence that you follow now Cole 100% yeah man I hear it and it's good

494
00:42:56,120 --> 00:43:02,920
it's good music thank you yeah man I loved what he did my favorite album is

495
00:43:02,920 --> 00:43:08,400
Sighline Stories I think it was like 2011 that's when workout it was on yeah

496
00:43:08,400 --> 00:43:14,520
that album but the way that he would be like I don't know how to describe it he

497
00:43:14,520 --> 00:43:18,760
would make the beat his bitch basically like he would flow the way he wanted to

498
00:43:18,760 --> 00:43:23,040
flow like not like a typical like spitting off game everybody know my name

499
00:43:23,040 --> 00:43:29,800
like he would just go off of those and not really be on time in a way of making

500
00:43:29,800 --> 00:43:34,040
it on time and it really like you're gonna hear what I have to say that's

501
00:43:34,040 --> 00:43:39,520
really what I heard the approach I heard and everything and yeah man like

502
00:43:39,520 --> 00:43:43,640
that's that's what made me really like follow into that you know I listen to

503
00:43:43,640 --> 00:43:47,200
him so much and you kind of start doing emulating of course you're your own

504
00:43:47,200 --> 00:43:51,400
artist right I mean that's about a doubt but yeah you the more you listen to an

505
00:43:51,400 --> 00:43:55,720
artist the more you're gonna emulate their sound yeah and draw from your own

506
00:43:55,720 --> 00:44:00,520
personal experience it's that's really cool yeah man appreciate that yeah it's

507
00:44:00,520 --> 00:44:07,440
sick man and then I would spit like I love methaman to I love the way he flows

508
00:44:07,440 --> 00:44:13,000
okay Wu Tang yeah yeah man I've been really getting into them lately man him

509
00:44:13,000 --> 00:44:18,800
and red man yeah brother they're amazing and I was like 15 and I had like the

510
00:44:18,800 --> 00:44:22,120
fast wraps and everything my friend was like you should look up this kid you

511
00:44:22,120 --> 00:44:26,800
kind of sound like him and it was logic okay and I really got into him and then

512
00:44:26,800 --> 00:44:29,400
people were like oh I hear a lot of logic like in your songs and everything

513
00:44:29,400 --> 00:44:33,760
okay so I was like my cool I mean do you still frequently like get approached

514
00:44:33,760 --> 00:44:39,440
and like oh I hear so and so in your in your music yeah yeah I still get logic

515
00:44:39,440 --> 00:44:45,200
and stuff like that but it's funny like when there's a BPM that makes you want

516
00:44:45,200 --> 00:44:51,560
to go fast I hear a lot of that and then with J Cole like the slower songs but I

517
00:44:51,560 --> 00:44:58,600
love right now like I've really been into like J ID and unfamiliar Jid and he's on

518
00:44:58,600 --> 00:45:04,720
our dreamville okay yeah amazing man he's amazing so really been into him a

519
00:45:04,720 --> 00:45:10,880
lot and like it's it's a weird way to like flow because it's like like the

520
00:45:10,880 --> 00:45:14,880
pauses and the way he delivers things it's just like it's almost like unheard

521
00:45:14,880 --> 00:45:20,800
before you know it's cool yeah man okay there's this question that I've like from

522
00:45:20,800 --> 00:45:25,320
the first time that we met when you introduce yourself as CM Young I really

523
00:45:25,320 --> 00:45:31,480
was interested in where that artistic name came from CM Young like what's your

524
00:45:31,480 --> 00:45:36,920
real name Chris Chris Chris Michelsky so see um it's a really stupid story

525
00:45:36,920 --> 00:45:41,000
because I was like I think like 13 or 14 I was trying to figure out like a rap

526
00:45:41,000 --> 00:45:46,640
name of course and I was listening to like Pandora okay and I saw someone

527
00:45:46,640 --> 00:45:55,160
like damn I know a while years ago but it said like CB CB something I can't

528
00:45:55,160 --> 00:45:59,400
remember what it was but it was like it was like two initials and like a word

529
00:45:59,400 --> 00:46:04,680
right and I don't know where the young came from honestly but I mean you were

530
00:46:04,680 --> 00:46:09,080
13 14 you're young probably yeah so it was like alright fucking see him you ever

531
00:46:09,080 --> 00:46:17,480
gonna be like fucking see him old yeah right like dude but yeah man so I just

532
00:46:17,480 --> 00:46:20,600
rock with that and people were like that's cool like it kind of flows off the

533
00:46:20,600 --> 00:46:24,840
tongue like see him young and it's cool to see over the years like co-workers or

534
00:46:24,840 --> 00:46:30,080
like my homies I met here they'll just be like what up see him yeah oh that's it

535
00:46:30,080 --> 00:46:35,200
that's cool yeah little nickname now so you're seeing me on my question I really

536
00:46:35,200 --> 00:46:41,720
kind of want to get deep here yeah who are you what do you hope to achieve with

537
00:46:41,720 --> 00:46:46,640
your career you know what is your goal like what do you what do you want the

538
00:46:46,640 --> 00:46:56,760
world to know you for right I want my message to be to the younger generation

539
00:46:56,760 --> 00:47:07,520
and I believe life has tested me at you know young age I say yeah and kind of

540
00:47:07,520 --> 00:47:11,800
showing me early on how life can really smack me in the face and a lot of people

541
00:47:11,800 --> 00:47:17,400
say like everybody goes through things you know buck up all this and that sure

542
00:47:17,400 --> 00:47:22,120
but you know it's tough to deal with that and especially going up whether it's

543
00:47:22,120 --> 00:47:25,480
growing up in a household the way I did or having a relationship with somebody

544
00:47:25,480 --> 00:47:30,600
that's like you're losing your mind because this somebody can you care about

545
00:47:30,600 --> 00:47:34,120
that you date can like make you go absolutely crazy really anything like

546
00:47:34,120 --> 00:47:38,720
that is it difficult maintaining a like a romantic relationship while you're

547
00:47:38,720 --> 00:47:46,680
grinding 120,000 yeah yeah yeah it really if they if they don't really

548
00:47:46,680 --> 00:47:52,160
understand it and question everything as if it's something you're doing wrong

549
00:47:52,160 --> 00:47:59,200
yeah yeah it could be a problem but yeah you know I'm trying to reach out I want

550
00:47:59,200 --> 00:48:06,040
people to see what I'm like I want people to look like me when they come to

551
00:48:06,040 --> 00:48:09,640
my shows basically you know that's not like I want them to look like you was

552
00:48:09,640 --> 00:48:17,240
what you said yeah what do you mean so I want people to emulate the music and the

553
00:48:17,240 --> 00:48:23,400
image and the vibe and everything so much to the point where they they feel so

554
00:48:23,400 --> 00:48:29,880
connected and they're becoming you yeah that's I mean maybe I said it in a

555
00:48:29,880 --> 00:48:34,760
little bit pretentious way what really I'm saying is like yeah become me I want

556
00:48:34,760 --> 00:48:40,440
to call on everybody no really to just how people get it and understand because

557
00:48:40,440 --> 00:48:46,880
I remember how great it felt listening to a song like by Eminem or J Cole and it

558
00:48:46,880 --> 00:48:50,080
almost felt like my big brother and I don't even have a big brother but like

559
00:48:50,080 --> 00:48:54,480
it almost felt like one like you're gonna be alright like it's not as deep as you

560
00:48:54,480 --> 00:48:58,400
think right wait this out you're gonna be fine well and finding that out of

561
00:48:58,400 --> 00:49:04,440
young ages that's really helpful yeah yeah cuz that that makes your potential

562
00:49:04,440 --> 00:49:12,080
limit limitless you know absolutely absolutely man and like I think um you

563
00:49:12,080 --> 00:49:16,880
know we all you know people can be strong but I think we all need some like

564
00:49:16,880 --> 00:49:21,760
somebody to remind us other than ourselves to remind us you got this keep

565
00:49:21,760 --> 00:49:26,200
going right it's not as bad as you think and to have some weight off your

566
00:49:26,200 --> 00:49:31,520
shoulders if that could be three minutes of me talking you off cliff or me

567
00:49:31,520 --> 00:49:36,440
inspiring you in any way then you know that's the main goal yeah you know to

568
00:49:36,440 --> 00:49:46,280
inspire yeah 100% that's awesome so I got this question for you here and what's

569
00:49:46,280 --> 00:49:57,000
your guilty pleasure song I don't know if it's I don't know man I don't know if I

570
00:49:57,000 --> 00:50:03,120
should feel guilty about it but you know um you know that band ABBA yeah I know

571
00:50:03,120 --> 00:50:08,680
abba give me give me give me I don't know that song play it out for me I think

572
00:50:08,680 --> 00:50:13,560
I just know their mom and me I should I just know as basic as you can get I'm

573
00:50:13,560 --> 00:50:19,200
not really into ABBA like that this song hits bro so how so Madonna did like a

574
00:50:19,200 --> 00:50:24,520
remix to it I don't really like her part her version but would you collaborate

575
00:50:24,520 --> 00:50:28,080
with Madonna Madonna collaboration coming soon in the future yes you would

576
00:50:28,080 --> 00:50:34,520
collaborate with her 2027 CM younger Madonna grammies northwest

577
00:50:34,520 --> 00:50:41,660
that should be crazy all right let me pull this up it's so hard especially the

578
00:50:41,660 --> 00:50:49,400
live version of it yeah play the regular one though are you gonna like sing along

579
00:50:49,400 --> 00:50:53,640
to him and because I think everyone would love to hear that

580
00:50:53,640 --> 00:51:00,720
though it's being a little funny today if I can oh shit I disconnect to it oh

581
00:51:00,720 --> 00:51:08,440
shit you know I got a muted here we go ABBA

582
00:51:09,080 --> 00:51:15,160
what the hell I'm gonna give it a chance it sounds a little goofy it sounds like

583
00:51:15,160 --> 00:51:27,440
a circus oh this is like that fucking meme song yeah yeah bro it is that

584
00:51:27,440 --> 00:51:33,480
fucking the Jim bro one oh this is tough it is bro why don't you sample that and

585
00:51:33,480 --> 00:51:40,880
like wrap over it I might do it I might do it that's tough yeah no I spoke to

586
00:51:40,880 --> 00:51:51,600
him yeah yeah they don't even speak English they just what were they Swedish

587
00:51:51,600 --> 00:51:57,280
fuck yeah they're literally Swedish they would like they only spoke you know

588
00:51:57,280 --> 00:52:02,440
their language like when they were swish wait then how the hell how do they know

589
00:52:02,440 --> 00:52:09,360
how to speak so well I've no idea that makes no sense that reminds me of Anna

590
00:52:09,360 --> 00:52:16,160
the Armist bro I just know you know who doesn't know we're broke yeah I saw

591
00:52:16,160 --> 00:52:22,520
our war dogs and I learned that she did not speak a link of English for the part

592
00:52:22,520 --> 00:52:26,480
so to actually get the part she learned only the words on the script so she can

593
00:52:26,480 --> 00:52:32,160
get it wow bro that's that's hunger right there that is crying and you can't

594
00:52:32,160 --> 00:52:36,000
even like I don't even guess that too because she played it exactly like I

595
00:52:36,000 --> 00:52:39,600
could not have guessed that they right like don't speak English that makes no

596
00:52:39,600 --> 00:52:44,400
sense yeah do you ever see yourself like becoming like an actor that'd be cool

597
00:52:44,400 --> 00:52:49,360
man I do um it's not really like alright I plan to do that this time or whatever

598
00:52:49,360 --> 00:52:56,360
but um I enjoy it I mean like I enjoy it let's say like I did it um doing like

599
00:52:56,360 --> 00:53:01,680
music videos and stuff I like getting into like the real depths of it like for

600
00:53:01,680 --> 00:53:07,680
flowers on the floor um you keep mentioning you keep mentioning yeah talk

601
00:53:07,680 --> 00:53:12,480
about that I don't think we got into it yet so that was my album flowers on the

602
00:53:12,480 --> 00:53:19,080

648
00:57:16,320 --> 00:57:23,160
like the hip-hop ensemble right but he is one of the greatest producers at this

00:57:23,160 --> 00:57:30,320
school he's amazing and yeah man he does guitar piano he does it all you know

650
00:57:30,320 --> 00:57:35,400

655
00:57:54,240 --> 00:58:01,360
first yeah draft of it so whatever but it isn't there's no focus on it so I just

656
00:58:01,360 --> 00:58:09,760
play a little clip of what actual beat sounds like yeah go ahead this is it this

657
00:58:09,760 --> 00:58:20,280
has not been released no right man this is not the same vibe bro this shit is

658

sweet this is not hard this is sweet bro oh no yeah you make you fucking make

659
00:58:25,920 --> 00:58:29,480
love to this music bro I forgot to mention that

660
00:58:29,480 --> 00:58:33,080
different energy this is the army was a good energy though I like this energy

661
00:58:33,080 --> 00:58:37,520
right as you can hear though like he does you know like the very he's heavy

662
00:58:37,520 --> 00:58:42,760
with the kicks and like yeah ship so he's very driven to do like um you know

663
00:58:42,760 --> 00:58:47,920
that hard hip-hop type of thing and with some flavor with this so we got we went

664
00:58:47,920 --> 00:58:52,160
to the studio and I was like bring your guitar let's do some shit with that and

665
00:58:52,160 --> 00:58:57,840
you know we're working on something like that right now and yeah it's it's got

666
00:58:57,840 --> 00:59:02,360
that twang a little bit like that Texas song so cool yeah man it's hip-hop where

667
00:59:02,360 --> 00:59:08,960
your heart like lies is that is that your genre you're talking about soul and

668
00:59:08,960 --> 00:59:14,280
funk earlier exactly I was just about to say that like as I've yeah hip-hop

669
00:59:14,280 --> 00:59:18,960
storytelling for sure has been like the first music I've ever heard yeah even

670
00:59:18,960 --> 00:59:24,680
like as a little kid and everything and I love storytelling regardless so that

671
00:59:24,680 --> 00:59:28,760
for sure but I mean as I listen to more music and everything like I don't think

672
00:59:28,760 --> 00:59:33,720
anything will beat my love for hip-hop so right next to it is um yeah soul man

673
00:59:33,720 --> 00:59:39,720
Motown blues who got you into that you just yourself yeah just kind of like

674
00:59:39,720 --> 00:59:44,560
searching and like my grandfather was a big fan of Frank Sinatra and oh huge

675
00:59:44,560 --> 00:59:48,920
fan of same same and that music was playing in his house all the time

676
00:59:48,920 --> 00:59:54,280
really is a qwest so I spent a lot of time in qwest growing up fucking beautiful

677
00:59:54,280 --> 00:59:59,320
you make your way down to qwest I need to you I need absolutely must yeah that

678
00:59:59,320 --> 01:00:03,280
she looks like paradise bro it is bro for me it's my head it's like my heaven

679
01:00:03,280 --> 01:00:07,720
on earth yeah you know it's it's you know in a strange way it kind of reminds

680
01:00:07,720 --> 01:00:12,200
me of New Orleans as well you know it's a really historical place really really

681
01:00:12,200 --> 01:00:16,080
historical place you know the music is great and by the people are nice they're

682
01:00:16,080 --> 01:00:21,160
old that shit though it's a really old population here in New Orleans it

683
01:00:21,160 --> 01:00:25,720
doesn't seem that all you have a really large mix but and in key west it really

684
01:00:25,720 --> 01:00:30,720
seems like it's primarily old people they also have a I want to say it's

685
01:00:30,720 --> 01:00:34,600
called fantasy fest but they have like a major festival there where they play like

686
01:00:34,600 --> 01:00:39,520
some insane music and it's a really big deal it's like our Mardi Gras they have

687
01:00:39,520 --> 01:00:45,520
like a little mini Mardi Gras and QS man man RP to Jimmy Buffett I'm sure oh

688
01:00:45,520 --> 01:00:50,000
my god yeah and he's not even from fucking key west either no that's crazy

689
01:00:50,000 --> 01:00:54,680
I forgot he died man yeah man that's mr. Margarita where was he's from

690
01:00:54,680 --> 01:00:59,040
California I think let me know what it is I think it's California bro tell me

691
01:00:59,040 --> 01:01:04,120
why I just searched up Jimmy Butler you keep up with basketball at all I don't

692
01:01:04,120 --> 01:01:11,680
what you're from the Celtics from Boston bro dude I can't lie I really oh I'm

693
01:01:11,680 --> 01:01:15,400
tweaking he's he's from Mississippi bro Jimmy both I am tweaking where did I

694
01:01:15,400 --> 01:01:19,960
get California from oh I think I got confused with Creedence Clearwater

695
01:01:19,960 --> 01:01:24,640
Revival I think they're from yo that that's crazy you mentioned that they're

696
01:01:24,640 --> 01:01:28,680
my favorite one of my favorite bands yeah they're from 100,000% yeah

697
01:01:28,680 --> 01:01:33,380
you're big into like rock bands really I'm really big into that vibe um that

698
01:01:33,380 --> 01:01:39,160
Leonard scanner like there's different I like Frank Sinatra I love the soul and

699
01:01:39,160 --> 01:01:46,440
then shit like Linus scanner like CCR so like like that uh like that kind of

700
01:01:46,440 --> 01:01:51,520
Western Southern or Southern Rock sound it's pretty southern rock

701
01:01:51,520 --> 01:01:56,440
swamp rock yeah that's what it is so you're talking about soul you like like

702
01:01:56,440 --> 01:02:02,040
the Temptations yeah bands like that Temptations are cool you feel like that

703
01:02:02,040 --> 01:02:07,400
has inspired your music at all 100% that's where the air candy comes in oh

704
01:02:07,400 --> 01:02:13,400
you say you're you say your candy a lot do you live like by the motto of like

705
01:02:13,400 --> 01:02:18,120
creating ear candy yeah cuz like I've heard eye candy like you see like a

706
01:02:18,120 --> 01:02:21,080
good-looking person walking by you starely that's eye candy but your candy

707
01:02:21,080 --> 01:02:24,320
like I'm assuming just something sounds here that has your attention yeah it's

708
01:02:24,320 --> 01:02:32,880
it's one of those I mean that you know that weird thing ASMR yeah this is

709
01:02:32,880 --> 01:02:39,880
we're doing ASMR but um it's not exactly like it's it's a form of that in a way

710
01:02:39,880 --> 01:02:43,840
where like it just feels really really good like ear candy is like snooze

711
01:02:43,840 --> 01:02:49,800
scissor like everything is perfect like I feel like you know I feel like maybe

712
01:02:49,800 --> 01:02:55,400
the best example I've heard of that has been Erica Badoos didn't you know it's

713
01:02:55,400 --> 01:03:02,680
yep exactly brand like that hook just grabs me I think yeah didn't Jake whole

714
01:03:02,680 --> 01:03:07,760
sample that too I'm sure he did I could have sworn he did something like I could

715
01:03:07,760 --> 01:03:11,760
be tripping I could have sworn he did yeah he did in logic yeah actually

716
01:03:11,760 --> 01:03:17,480
sampled to he did 30,000 feet oh yeah man the two people that inspired you yeah

717
01:03:17,480 --> 01:03:22,440
look at that look at the correlation man just fucking circle of life here I think

718
01:03:22,440 --> 01:03:27,880
yeah Erica Badoos never intentionally but like she just happened to be on a

719
01:03:27,880 --> 01:03:32,680
lot of records that I really fucked with growing up like roots yeah you got me

720
01:03:32,680 --> 01:03:37,600
like the roots man that's quest loves group isn't it mm-hmm love quest love

721
01:03:37,600 --> 01:03:41,880
like thought yeah yeah man you know Merv's playing actually kind of reminds

722
01:03:41,880 --> 01:03:47,040
me of quest love yeah man yeah he really elite musician pro I mean it's so on the

723
01:03:47,040 --> 01:03:52,520
pocket Merv lives in the pocket man how long have you known Merv for four years

724
01:03:52,520 --> 01:03:56,760
for you okay for context Merv is a drummer here and I shouldn't even say

725
01:03:56,760 --> 01:04:02,040
drummer he does everything yeah phenomenal keyboardist producer yeah man

726
01:04:02,040 --> 01:04:06,000
all around a great person so you're known in four years yeah when you start

727
01:04:06,000 --> 01:04:15,680
working on music with him man I think like shit I think like two years and

728
01:04:15,680 --> 01:04:22,800
actually no that's a lie we started doing performances together cuz for like

729
01:04:22,800 --> 01:04:27,560
this school they would give opportunities like you can perform at like I don't

730
01:04:27,560 --> 01:04:31,160
know like for refester like neutral ground these different spots and they

731
01:04:31,160 --> 01:04:34,240
were like you need a band with you though so it was like oh shit I gotta find

732
01:04:34,240 --> 01:04:38,520
people now it's already home is with him and he introduced me to amazing

733
01:04:38,520 --> 01:04:43,200
musicians like Arnold who's a guitarist Pablo who's the keys right I'm I'm

734
01:04:43,200 --> 01:04:49,760
yeah man so like I would I was already working with them a lot so yeah I'm

735
01:04:49,760 --> 01:04:54,560
lying the first couple months of being here we did a show outside of this

736
01:04:54,560 --> 01:04:58,560
collective called structure their house they would show like to put on like shows

737
01:04:58,560 --> 01:05:02,880
and everything right and that was really fun he got to learn my music and like he

738
01:05:02,880 --> 01:05:07,800
really fucked with it so and then we did that song slide with Tavi right

739
01:05:07,800 --> 01:05:13,240
Tavi's good people too yeah he's a homie I'm freaking I'm blanking on the name of

01:05:13,240 --> 01:05:17,960
his song it's got Alfredo Alfredo something in there steak Alfredo steak

741
01:05:17,960 --> 01:05:21,640
Alfredo yeah man you know I was bumping that in Miami before I even came here

742
01:05:21,640 --> 01:05:25,960
before I even met him yeah I was bumping that music so one day I saw him in the

743
01:05:25,960 --> 01:05:29,880
OR and it was just absolutely surprising to me yeah and as I walked over I was

744
01:05:29,880 --> 01:05:34,600
like you're you tabby just like looking all nervous and shit and it's like yeah

745
01:05:34,600 --> 01:05:37,800
man I was like oh okay yeah steak Alfredo I love steak Alfredo that's sick

746
01:05:37,800 --> 01:05:43,600
bro yeah man but uh going back do you have any other talents besides music and

747
01:05:43,600 --> 01:05:49,280
like songwriting and lyric writing and you're a fucking really artistic person

748
01:05:49,280 --> 01:05:53,440
now that I'm thinking about it I appreciate it I'm sure I do can't think of it I

749
01:05:53,440 --> 01:05:59,120
you I did um I don't know if it's a talent but I did a little wrestling in

high school and I did a lot of MMA okay and stuff like that I'm really like in

751
01:06:05,240 --> 01:06:11,440
tuned with still I haven't really done it in a while but really yeah big fan of it

752
01:06:11,440 --> 01:06:18,280
though MMA yeah man what's it like training sucks what do you even do I

753
01:06:18,280 --> 01:06:21,520
don't think I've ever met anyone that does that um have you seen the movie

754
01:06:21,520 --> 01:06:28,800
never back down oh sounds familiar it's like that it's me about it a little bit

755
01:06:28,800 --> 01:06:34,600
you like dude the warm-up you have to do like um we did like I think jumping jacks

756
01:06:34,600 --> 01:06:38,840
for like three or four minutes which is whatever bird bees for like a minute and

757
01:06:38,840 --> 01:06:43,440
then you like run around this track and then like jump rope and kick the bag a

758
01:06:43,440 --> 01:06:47,880
little bit and then like you start training in like you do yeah like sparring

759
01:06:47,880 --> 01:06:52,840
my first ever sparring with somebody was this girl who's in the Marines and she

760
01:06:52,840 --> 01:06:58,000
was like five feet tall yeah and the guy was a go take it easy on him and I was

761
01:06:58,000 --> 01:07:03,480
like oh word I was 15 and I got my ass handed to me so underestimated I know man

762
01:07:03,480 --> 01:07:08,440
I was a little idiot but no it's cool man it teaches you like speed and

763
01:07:08,440 --> 01:07:13,720
coordination everything kind of has nothing to do with music but it's it's

764
01:07:13,720 --> 01:07:19,120
really like it's really like focusing on your opponent and everything because

765
01:07:19,120 --> 01:07:21,820
you there's no way around you're either gonna win or you're gonna lose can't

766
01:07:21,820 --> 01:07:25,320
cheat yourself away around right you know so it's all about techniques I'd rather

767
01:07:25,320 --> 01:07:31,920
win to you know um oh speaking of which we had to move the date of the last show

768
01:07:31,920 --> 01:07:39,240
around because that landed on the night that um Mike Tyson and Jake Paul oh yeah

769
01:07:39,240 --> 01:07:44,000
what do you think of that fucking fight bro bro this man I bet but I bet you

770
01:07:44,000 --> 01:07:47,240
anything Jake Paul's gonna win because I bet you was rigged and I bet you Mike

771
01:07:47,240 --> 01:07:52,760
Tyson's gonna take home a bag I guarantee it I guarantee it's rigged and I

772
01:07:52,760 --> 01:07:56,960
don't know if this is true or not but I heard like the rules whatever so I heard

773
01:07:56,960 --> 01:08:03,000
that the rules were Jake Paul and Logan Paul can tag each other in what and at

774
01:08:03,000 --> 01:08:07,720
some point makes both fight I'm like it's not WWE I was just gonna mention that

775
01:08:07,720 --> 01:08:12,280
right now yeah dude like that's why it seems so Rick because sports are not the

776
01:08:12,280 --> 01:08:15,840
same anymore no it's not especially if his brother isn't there I mean who knows

777
01:08:15,840 --> 01:08:19,740
what kind of like contract is connected to boxing if he's already signed to

778
01:08:19,740 --> 01:08:25,080
WWE you know that's ridiculous that's crazy to me man like I don't know and

779
01:08:25,080 --> 01:08:29,560
Jake Paul's in a position where like if he beats him okay you be of almost 60

780
01:08:29,560 --> 01:08:33,760
year old man way out of his prime right and if he loses it's like you got beat

781
01:08:33,760 --> 01:08:40,640
by a 60 year old man way out of his prime yeah so I think it's not gonna matter

782
01:08:40,640 --> 01:08:45,400
when that check comes in exactly yeah it's not gonna matter at all man I mean

783
01:08:45,400 --> 01:08:49,960
I've seen videos like that kick could definitely fight I fully agree at first I

784
01:08:49,960 --> 01:08:54,880
wasn't on the on the bandwagon you know but uh he's he's not bad man he's a

785
01:08:54,880 --> 01:09:00,040
fighter yeah he's a fighter I can't say the same for Logan Paul at all but a

786
01:09:00,040 --> 01:09:03,920
Jake Paul man he's got it in him he's he's a good boxer yeah 100%

787
01:09:03,920 --> 01:09:08,360
absolutely obviously like athleticism comes with WWE but like with boxing

788
01:09:08,360 --> 01:09:13,760
same thing with the UFC man like that's a real that's a real thing like if you

789
01:09:13,760 --> 01:09:18,200
don't protect yourself a certain way you can get paralyzed injured really bad

790
01:09:18,200 --> 01:09:23,800
yeah so how useful do you think that skill is just for day-to-day life I mean

791
01:09:23,800 --> 01:09:27,880
I don't really run into fights right I mean you know it's not like it's gonna

792
01:09:27,880 --> 01:09:31,240
happen it's not gonna warn you before it happens you know I'm just gonna kind of

793
01:09:31,240 --> 01:09:35,000
maybe like when they're getting mugged you know this reoccurring dream we got

794
01:09:35,000 --> 01:09:40,280
fucking mugged on Main Street and it keeps on here mugged on Main Street the

795
01:09:40,280 --> 01:09:44,880
dream ends and I die wow so you should probably avoid me that's literally what

796
01:09:44,880 --> 01:09:50,280
I said I've had a dream like six times man wow six fucking times so it scares

797
01:09:50,280 --> 01:09:56,720
the shit out of me I'm not gonna lie but yeah so if uh if if the talk ends

798
01:09:56,720 --> 01:10:02,560
without a reason I went on Main Street just just right exactly yeah but it's

799
01:10:02,560 --> 01:10:08,960
crazy how dreams can affect like your real life yeah yeah 100% it's crazy man

800
01:10:08,960 --> 01:10:13,120
like you ever think of something and you dream of it and then like you

801
01:10:13,120 --> 01:10:17,320
understand that whole like aspects like you look at something you're like I'm

802
01:10:17,320 --> 01:10:20,640
one of them gonna dream this and then you do you know I've dreamed in songs

803
01:10:20,640 --> 01:10:26,960
before is that sure be that's crazy man dreaming in songs like I'll wake up like

804
01:10:26,960 --> 01:10:31,280
in my dream like I'll be playing on my guitar and I have this riff and I'll

805
01:10:31,280 --> 01:10:35,280
wake up and I was like oh shit that was a cool riff and I take that riff from my

806
01:10:35,280 --> 01:10:41,280
dream bro you and Jeremiah are so lucky because he said the same thing when he

807
01:10:41,280 --> 01:10:46,080
made something oh shit and I was like what the fuck cuz I made like songs in

808
01:10:46,080 --> 01:10:50,640
my dreams and like I'll wake up and I have no idea what I what I started doing

809
01:10:50,640 --> 01:10:54,360
when I got my first one I can remember I keep like a I keep like a notebook candy

810
01:10:54,360 --> 01:10:57,800
like if my phone was like dead or anything I always have a notebook by my

811
01:10:57,800 --> 01:11:02,080
side you know and I think that's just a good tool to have because you never know

812
01:11:02,080 --> 01:11:06,400
like absolutely what great you know the great the best ideas that you get is

813
01:11:06,400 --> 01:11:10,720
when you're meditating and when you're in the shower or driving I always do when

814
01:11:10,720 --> 01:11:15,360
I'm driving driving as well yeah yeah man I get the best ideas but yeah the

815
01:11:15,360 --> 01:11:21,400
shower driving meditating I gotta do more of that I agree with you it's it has a

816
01:11:21,400 --> 01:11:25,960
lot of good really really really good health benefits yeah but um a good

817
01:11:25,960 --> 01:11:31,160
drive like when the sun is setting that that does wonders for you man like I'll

818
01:11:31,160 --> 01:11:35,720
just be myself roll the windows down go for driving that's enough for me yeah

819
01:11:35,720 --> 01:11:39,320
hundred percent that's gotta be some kind of way of meditation that's yeah I

820
01:11:39,320 --> 01:11:45,840
agree 100% I think like not even just the I take that back then because I think I

821
01:11:45,840 --> 01:11:49,840
do meditate a little bit more than I think I do instead of just the the

822
01:11:49,840 --> 01:11:54,000
cliche you sit down with your legs crossing everything just like on the

823
01:11:54,000 --> 01:11:57,640
road if you're driving like or you're just sitting there when the sun's going

824
01:11:57,640 --> 01:12:01,560
down like autumn in park and you just like calm and like you think call me in

825
01:12:01,560 --> 01:12:04,720
everything I think that's a sign of meditation too and that's where a lot of

826
01:12:04,720 --> 01:12:09,880
like inspiration of like songs come about like yeah it would 508 like and

827
01:12:09,880 --> 01:12:13,760
it's new song coming out with two one of them is called Lake Drive and it has this

828
01:12:13,760 --> 01:12:20,720
very night time kind of vibe to it I love like music you're driving through

829
01:12:20,720 --> 01:12:23,720
the city with like driving out of the city so right you see all the lights

830
01:12:23,720 --> 01:12:29,480
behind you okay going to a calmness oh you're escaping yeah that's cool that's

831
01:12:29,480 --> 01:12:33,160
cool concept you know like I just I don't know I think these weird things like

832
01:12:33,160 --> 01:12:38,080
that like situations like with Sunday morning I was living the vibe I was

833
01:12:38,080 --> 01:12:44,080
thinking of which is right it was like 8 a.m. and we were just like messing around

834
01:12:44,080 --> 01:12:48,800
here the guitar and we had coffee like the smoke coming up from the coffee the

835
01:12:48,800 --> 01:12:52,720
steam yeah and the Sun's beaming through it's summertime and I'm like let's like

836
01:12:52,720 --> 01:12:56,720
make a record about that's great I want people to feel in here and see what those

837
01:12:56,720 --> 01:13:01,280
little moments are just so perfect and they're overlooked and they're small

838
01:13:01,280 --> 01:13:06,720
moments yeah but they happen frequently people don't notice them yeah people are

839
01:13:06,720 --> 01:13:10,000
too caught up with what they're doing and they missed the little things the

840
01:13:10,000 --> 01:13:14,640
gratitude man the appreciation for those little things like can make the make

841
01:13:14,640 --> 01:13:19,520
time stop yeah and that's absolutely that's you know it was cool because a lot

842
01:13:19,520 --> 01:13:23,080
of people were like um yo like I'm bumping or they were like tag me in a

843
01:13:23,080 --> 01:13:27,200
story like yo I'm bumping Sunday morning yeah getting ready for work I'm like

844
01:13:27,200 --> 01:13:32,080
that's pretty cool so is your goal to make people feel good 100% yeah is that

845
01:13:32,080 --> 01:13:38,240
the only emotion that you're kind of you want to to evoke from them no I want I

846
01:13:38,240 --> 01:13:42,080
want people to definitely make them feel good like essentially yeah make them

847
01:13:42,080 --> 01:13:44,760
feel better in some way shape a form because it's still entertainment whether

848
01:13:44,760 --> 01:13:49,600
you go to a show or you put those headphones in right you know so like I

849
01:13:49,600 --> 01:13:54,960
said before I mean I really just want to like share my story and show my

850
01:13:54,960 --> 01:14:01,160
abilities and do what I like to do but also that comes with catering to the

851
01:14:01,160 --> 01:14:05,480
audience not in a way of oh I'll do what you want me to do but you're you know

852
01:14:05,480 --> 01:14:11,800
you're putting things out for people to listen so you know to speak on my truth

853
01:14:11,800 --> 01:14:17,480
and kind of letting the world know it's gonna be okay what is your truth my

854
01:14:17,480 --> 01:14:22,560
truth you can go through a whole lot of shit you can lose people you can go

855
01:14:22,560 --> 01:14:30,320
through hell and there really is no reason to be afraid right because you

856
01:14:30,320 --> 01:14:33,640
know you could you could be scared of something and then it happens and you're

857
01:14:33,640 --> 01:14:38,160
just like it's almost like do-do-do oh that was nothing it's like you think

858
01:14:38,160 --> 01:14:42,160
something crazy is gonna happen at this peak and then it just after it happens

859
01:14:42,160 --> 01:14:46,080
you just like trickle trickle down you like calm down exactly you know because

860
01:14:46,080 --> 01:14:49,840
it's gonna happen anyways it's gonna happen anyways and I think an important

861
01:14:49,840 --> 01:14:54,200
thing something I like to really remind myself almost like a mantra is like

862
01:14:54,200 --> 01:14:58,480
breaking down barriers like fear barriers like face your fears it's fun it

863
01:14:58,480 --> 01:15:01,960
becomes fun it does after all because you get comfortable with being uncomfortable

864
01:15:01,960 --> 01:15:05,440
yeah absolutely you know my father used to preset to me all the time he's argue

865
01:15:05,440 --> 01:15:08,920
he still does but I'm kind of in a different state but yeah he used to tell

866
01:15:08,920 --> 01:15:12,280
me be comfortable with being uncomfortable and I'll work wonders for

867
01:15:12,280 --> 01:15:17,320
you and it seems like you've you've perfectly demonstrated that right right

868
01:15:17,320 --> 01:15:21,440
right in the right way to like like if you're in a bad relationship and you're

869
01:15:21,440 --> 01:15:26,680
like this is an awful mindset you know that's um sorry I'm itching my balls

870
01:15:26,680 --> 01:15:29,400
over here but these jeans are a little tight

871
01:15:29,400 --> 01:15:37,560
but yeah no it's it's definitely good cuz like yeah just facing that fear and

872
01:15:37,560 --> 01:15:40,160
going back to what you're saying like oh what got you out of your shyness that

873
01:15:40,160 --> 01:15:45,320
moment is you know I just had to remind myself like alright you know it ain't

874
01:15:45,320 --> 01:15:49,200
that deep get back to what you were doing cuz that's well what if it was that

875
01:15:49,200 --> 01:15:52,360
deep you know it probably was and that's what I was telling myself that it

876
01:15:52,360 --> 01:15:57,720
wasn't and you know that's something I'm also working on like I would always

877
01:15:57,720 --> 01:16:02,320
shut pain down even though I'm coping with it right still as a person like

878
01:16:02,320 --> 01:16:06,080
right now as we're talking I'm just like yeah it's all good obviously it isn't

879
01:16:06,080 --> 01:16:10,360
all good like but you know like you seem really comfortable talking about it

880
01:16:10,360 --> 01:16:15,360
too so it really I'm under the impression that you've really overcome that

881
01:16:15,360 --> 01:16:19,920
you've you've taken control of the things I've weighed you down and you're in

882
01:16:19,920 --> 01:16:25,920
control you have the power yeah yeah I mean yeah I think it's evident and it's

883
01:16:25,920 --> 01:16:29,400
not always gonna be easy but it's definitely the process of overcoming

884
01:16:29,400 --> 01:16:34,880
that yeah absolutely and it's those it's those things like you really never

885
01:16:34,880 --> 01:16:40,560
think of where you're glad that I mean I wouldn't wish for it to happen all the

886
01:16:40,560 --> 01:16:44,760
time but like when something bad happens or trauma happens and it builds that

887
01:16:44,760 --> 01:16:51,080
character right when you fight that and you become the result of I face this and

888
01:16:51,080 --> 01:16:55,680
now I have that character right about me like you feel grateful for it but I feel

889
01:16:55,680 --> 01:16:59,200
like there's too much like victim mentality nowadays oh what where they'll

890
01:16:59,200 --> 01:17:04,920
just sit in that despair yeah and never escape it I see it all too often too yeah

891
01:17:04,920 --> 01:17:09,960
what would you say to someone that's stuck in that victim mentality in that

892
01:17:09,960 --> 01:17:14,880
despair because you have utterly escaped that like how would they break that if

893
01:17:14,880 --> 01:17:18,000
they weren't a musician if they weren't a musician they had no artistic yeah

894
01:17:18,000 --> 01:17:22,840
platform or any kind of creativity to kind of cope with that what do you think

895
01:17:22,840 --> 01:17:31,680
they should do and go to um and go to church bro you find you go to somewhere

896
01:17:31,680 --> 01:17:38,640
right I would say you know if you got a friend go have some coffee with them yeah

897
01:17:38,640 --> 01:17:42,720
but the turn the phone off and in your pocket that's just another example of a

898
01:17:42,720 --> 01:17:47,800
little moment a hundred percent exactly exactly you know and that's what it is you

899
01:17:47,800 --> 01:17:52,720
know enjoy the sun or if it's raining enjoy the sound of it try your best to

900
01:17:52,720 --> 01:17:57,960
you know take I would say to take a couple deep breaths you know and whether

901
01:17:57,960 --> 01:18:02,960
that's not gonna work but but but then you do it and your body reacts to okay

902
01:18:02,960 --> 01:18:08,720
it's all good and um you already know this hit the gym you know oh yeah

903
01:18:08,720 --> 01:18:14,080
absolutely of course and it like I used to go to you know work out a lot and

904
01:18:14,080 --> 01:18:19,760
then I stopped for like a few years and when I went again I was like oh this

905
01:18:19,760 --> 01:18:24,280
sucks like this is hard but then I keep going you feel better but yeah man I

906
01:18:24,280 --> 01:18:29,560
think um it definitely needs to be talked about more but that victim mindset you

907
01:18:29,560 --> 01:18:35,280
know yeah man hitting the gym and enjoying those little moments with the

908
01:18:35,280 --> 01:18:39,520
people in your life yeah and if there really is nobody in your life like that

909
01:18:39,520 --> 01:18:46,680
which can happen it is a thing then you know just taking a walk and taking

910
01:18:46,680 --> 01:18:52,440
deep breaths and trying to enjoy really just this the sound really anything you

911
01:18:52,440 --> 01:18:56,520
know the son is so great for you too yeah you know it's scientifically proven

912
01:18:56,520 --> 01:19:02,000
if you smile more you will tend to feel happier you'll tend to be a happier

913
01:19:02,000 --> 01:19:06,160
person even if you force yourself to smile I know that's just crazy a forced

914
01:19:06,160 --> 01:19:10,680
smile it's insane how the brain works yeah we fucking talk about that for a

915
01:19:10,680 --> 01:19:16,000
second yeah like pretend when you like manifestation like when you are telling

916
01:19:16,000 --> 01:19:19,680
yourself something that really isn't even true yet but you're making it your

917
01:19:19,680 --> 01:19:24,480
truth exactly and like living that there must be like placebo effects dude it's

918
01:19:24,480 --> 01:19:30,920
crazy and we don't even understand the depth of the brain or how powerful it is

919
01:19:30,920 --> 01:19:35,880
you know we have I don't even think we fully comprehend the brain even the top

920
01:19:35,880 --> 01:19:39,720
scientists I don't even think so I think I read that somewhere it's insane to me

921
01:19:39,720 --> 01:19:45,760
man that's just what's a percentage we use like oh four percent you think it's

922
01:19:45,760 --> 01:19:55,000
four I'm a guest I'm a guest ten what percent percentage of our brain do we

923
01:19:55,000 --> 01:20:04,360
use and 35 35 we're both very wrong percent bro you're using your brain up

924
01:20:04,360 --> 01:20:12,880
four percent right that's all good bro that's crazy yeah that shit is insane I

925
01:20:12,880 --> 01:20:16,840
wonder what would happen to you if like just like that you had a hundred percent

926
01:20:16,840 --> 01:20:22,360
of your brain to use you see brain fucking be a superhero some shit like

927
01:20:22,360 --> 01:20:28,000
probably start flying in shit like man like I don't even know like would you

928
01:20:28,000 --> 01:20:32,160
like just pass out from all these thoughts going you were probably you

929
01:20:32,160 --> 01:20:36,520
were probably implode yeah yeah an ocean gate style bro you're probably talking

930
01:20:36,520 --> 01:20:41,440
implode cuz like I don't know I'm not that smart but when you smoke weed like

931
01:20:41,440 --> 01:20:45,120
you're using more percent it's making you use more percent of your brain right

932
01:20:45,120 --> 01:20:49,640
or am I wrong um that I'm not too sure of I think there's some people like an

933
01:20:49,640 --> 01:20:53,400
argue that it does the opposite and then there are people that does where it

934
01:20:53,400 --> 01:20:57,080
does like yeah where it makes you smarter and there are people that say it makes you

935
01:20:57,080 --> 01:21:01,160
dumber I think it just comes down a personal experience so how has your

936
01:21:01,160 --> 01:21:07,760
personal experience been pretty up and down like I smoke weed a lot like in

937
01:21:07,760 --> 01:21:11,080
high school and everything right and I stopped cuz I was like fuck this like I'm

938
01:21:11,080 --> 01:21:16,120
so paranoid like it created like such a paranoia and I was like you know sometimes

939
01:21:16,120 --> 01:21:19,840
you smoke good weed and you feel good and music is amazing and sometimes you

940
01:21:19,840 --> 01:21:23,200
smoke bad weed and you're picking yourself apart left and right right and

941
01:21:23,200 --> 01:21:26,400
like your mannerisms the way you act where you are in life and all this and I

942
01:21:26,400 --> 01:21:34,560
was like hell no so that was happening like in high school and all that but yeah

943
01:21:34,560 --> 01:21:42,360
when I graduated and did like a tour and I was smoking on the tour cuz I was like

944
01:21:42,360 --> 01:21:48,040
rockstar already yeah I already like I actually felt like yeah I'm the like I'm

945
01:21:48,040 --> 01:21:52,800
the man like let's shit yeah let's go so smoking weed was like um it almost like

946
01:21:52,800 --> 01:21:56,800
enhanced it in a way you know yeah like whatever you truly are feeling weed is

947
01:21:56,800 --> 01:21:59,960
gonna enhance it and like open up doors do you feel like you write better when

948
01:21:59,960 --> 01:22:04,760
you're under the influence? Sometimes yeah sometimes yeah I've known a few

949
01:22:04,760 --> 01:22:09,920
musicians that I felt the same way it's that flow states a real thing I agree you

950
01:22:09,920 --> 01:22:16,400
know like yeah no I mean obviously it is like that's incredible that is the

951
01:22:16,400 --> 01:22:23,400
mindset that is my favorite mindset to be in because you know you're not really

952
01:22:23,400 --> 01:22:28,480
emotional right and you're not you're just kind of like you're just going you

953
01:22:28,480 --> 01:22:32,880
know you're so zoned in and there's something so like special about being

954
01:22:32,880 --> 01:22:36,360
zoned in because you're doing something that's purposeful which is what

955
01:22:36,360 --> 01:22:39,640
everybody wants is purpose purpose absolutely when you're growing being

956
01:22:39,640 --> 01:22:46,320
noticed yeah man so like that's just the best feeling and yeah man being in the

957
01:22:46,320 --> 01:22:50,760
flow states where's that what was it like being a musician in high school did you

958
01:22:50,760 --> 01:22:55,080
feel different to your peers for sure yeah for sure

959
01:22:55,080 --> 01:23:02,120
freshman and sophomore year a lot of my friends are like artists and all that and

960
01:23:02,120 --> 01:23:08,560
around like senior a lot of people my friends had left graduated already yeah

961
01:23:08,560 --> 01:23:12,480
and it was just a couple of us kind of doing our own thing but around like

962
01:23:12,480 --> 01:23:17,640
senior year I was doing shows and like late and I just would kind of skip school

963
01:23:17,640 --> 01:23:20,560
because I would right come home at like three in the morning and I was just like

964
01:23:20,560 --> 01:23:26,760
fuck this I'm not gonna wake up at three hours so yeah but luckily I got my

965
01:23:26,760 --> 01:23:30,520
shit together enough to graduate and I mean how important do you think high

966
01:23:30,520 --> 01:23:35,880
school was looking back do you think it was beneficial to you to where you are

967
01:23:35,880 --> 01:23:43,880
now as a musician as a musician I mean

968
01:23:43,880 --> 01:23:53,000
she you can say no man yeah I gotta I gotta say no yeah I am I'm not sure man

969
01:23:53,000 --> 01:23:58,040
I mean really like I had there was one girl that and she opens up now so I

970
01:23:58,040 --> 01:24:01,880
guess a little bit because she opens up for a lot of my shows back home okay but

971
01:24:01,880 --> 01:24:05,000
she was really good she hopped on a song one time like that's like the only

972
01:24:05,000 --> 01:24:09,480
feature really I did in high school I just kind of did my own thing I worked

1054
01:31:06,600 --> 01:31:12,880
what I want whenever I want crazy shit cuz like for me the premium plan is

1055
01:31:12,880 --> 01:31:18,160
important for the talk yeah because I can hear my viewers my listeners at any

1056
01:31:18,160 --> 01:31:22,000
point in time that I want right right I mostly do it for that I don't really I

1057
01:31:22,000 --> 01:31:26,000
mean I listen to a lot of music all the time but as of lately it's been really

1058
01:31:26,000 --> 01:31:28,760
about the artist which is which is really what I'm doing this for it's just

1059
01:31:28,760 --> 01:31:33,400
it's for the artists is a community but what that being said that's the end of

1060
01:31:33,400 --> 01:31:38,400
my little rant no that's sick though man um my credit my card getting had you

1077
01:33:13,960 --> 01:33:20,480
right there we think the future of music is I feel like the females are gonna

1078
01:33:20,480 --> 01:33:25,520
take over yeah yeah there's a lot of dope female artists there's always been

1079
01:33:25,520 --> 01:33:32,640
man but like lately they're really been like you know immersing it like coming

1080
01:33:32,640 --> 01:33:35,760
out and a lot of them are like dope like really dope you know I fully agree with

1081
01:33:35,760 --> 01:33:41,720
you I fully agree with you I really don't fuck with spice I spice I I agree

1082
01:33:41,720 --> 01:33:46,560
just you know the fart song was interesting yeah the fart song was it

1083
01:33:46,560 --> 01:33:51,920
was a bit much that was not a bar but it was definitely you know it was

1084
01:33:51,920 --> 01:33:55,240
something it was something it was something it was a fart yeah it was

1085
01:33:55,240 --> 01:34:00,080
literally shit it was shit what possessed her to write that song what do

1086
01:34:00,080 --> 01:34:03,640
you think she just fucking was meditating like I were talking or like

1087
01:34:03,640 --> 01:34:08,600
driving and she's like fart let's write I want to sing a song by the fart I

1088
01:34:08,600 --> 01:34:14,360
think I don't know I don't know how people gonna think about this but she

1089
01:34:14,360 --> 01:34:17,520
kind of seems like the artist where like she got on and she was just like all

1090
01:34:17,520 --> 01:34:21,880
right cuz fuck it put yeah I already have the audience and that's that that's

1091
01:34:21,880 --> 01:34:25,120
going back to what I said about where they just care about the clout yeah it's

1092
01:34:25,120 --> 01:34:29,240
not about the message right cuz what message is that oh exactly and like

1093
01:34:29,240 --> 01:34:33,880
there's there's people that probably won't even be in the face of the industry

1094
01:34:33,880 --> 01:34:38,520
because it's literally all about like the fame and shit but then some people are

1095
01:34:38,520 --> 01:34:44,960
like driven by the clout so they work harder in order to get it and then they

1096
01:34:44,960 --> 01:34:48,160
don't but then you have people who are driven because they want it yeah that's

1097
01:34:48,160 --> 01:34:55,480
that they need that shit what would you change about the industry man given

1098
01:34:55,480 --> 01:35:01,080
people I would say like giving people the ability to just like

1099
01:35:01,080 --> 01:35:06,400
give it away the ability for like I don't know man six nine would give me a

1100
01:35:06,400 --> 01:35:12,240
fucking headache six nine six nine like every cuz he didn't like dude when he

1101
01:35:12,240 --> 01:35:17,040
was like really popping and he was on everyone's Instagram just yeah it's like

1102
01:35:17,040 --> 01:35:21,880
bro that's such a fucking one right like shut up shut you know what I mean but

1103
01:35:21,880 --> 01:35:28,800
um yeah I guess that'd be it bro one rat though that's crazy yeah that's

1104
01:35:28,800 --> 01:35:33,760
that's that's crazy bro are there worse things to be than a fucking snitch

1105
01:35:33,760 --> 01:35:39,480
there's not a single worst thing to be unless you're Jeffrey Dahmer that's pretty

1106
01:35:39,480 --> 01:35:42,480
bad fucking serial killer I can't believe some people are wired that way in the

1107
01:35:42,480 --> 01:35:47,200
fucking head dude I was talking my friend about that and it was like I don't

1108
01:35:47,200 --> 01:35:52,280
know I mean I'm not saying we're all the same but I feel like a lot of us think

1109
01:35:52,280 --> 01:35:58,200
genuinely like the like this the same in a way of like I'm so bad at explaining

1110
01:35:58,200 --> 01:36:02,760
shit don't take it time I don't even know like how we can we all relate to

1111
01:36:02,760 --> 01:36:07,280
certain things the stupidest thing that you think you only can relate to can be

1112
01:36:07,280 --> 01:36:11,200
like a post or video on Instagram and like mad people like it cuz they're what

1113
01:36:11,200 --> 01:36:16,680
attracts them is like I didn't think anybody else felt this way like I'm

1114
01:36:16,680 --> 01:36:22,200
trying to think of an example I mean do you feel like you do that with your

1115
01:36:22,200 --> 01:36:32,760
music um like relating to people yeah um yeah yeah so I think just like every day

1116
01:36:32,760 --> 01:36:39,480
um every day life basically you know like a lot of the same aspects like not

1117
01:36:39,480 --> 01:36:43,640
the same as in like we're all the same but like a lot of people you know a lot

1118
01:36:43,640 --> 01:36:48,280
of people fall in love that's a similar thing people fall in people people die

1119
01:36:48,280 --> 01:36:54,280
without loving people yeah it's just do you think Jeffrey Dahmer loved

1120
01:36:54,280 --> 01:36:58,960
oh man probably not probably not right because if you have love in your heart

1121
01:36:58,960 --> 01:37:02,920
there's no way you're doing all that bullshit atrocities ain't as fucked up

1122
01:37:02,920 --> 01:37:06,840
because sometimes people will love something the way they show it is doing

1123
01:37:06,840 --> 01:37:14,760
fucked up shit I've heard of that that's why I like man some sick people sick

1124
01:37:14,760 --> 01:37:23,360
people out there did you see the Netflix show about him I that's the one yeah I

1125
01:37:23,360 --> 01:37:29,960
saw it I'm trying to remember the name of the actor um Peter Peter Evans Evan

1126
01:37:29,960 --> 01:37:34,200
Peter Evan Peters that sounds right that sounds right Evan Peters yeah Evan

1127
01:37:34,200 --> 01:37:38,160
Peters yeah first find out about him from the office you watch the office at all

1128
01:37:38,160 --> 01:37:41,880
yeah bro he was on the nephew yeah he was a nephew got his fucking ass

1129
01:37:41,880 --> 01:37:48,360
collapsed on the show bro love the office bro good show go to chill yeah man I

1130
01:37:48,360 --> 01:37:55,280
saw I saw this show about Jeffrey Dahmer I wonder how accurate it was

1131
01:37:55,280 --> 01:38:01,040
shit but imagine just like being lured into his house because he would attract

1132
01:38:01,040 --> 01:38:08,160
the gay men and then he killed them yeah so you know at a time when when when

1133
01:38:08,160 --> 01:38:14,160
homosexuality wasn't like as common especially as it is as it is now like

1134
01:38:14,160 --> 01:38:20,160
finding that right person and then they end up killing you yeah I gotta be crazy

1135
01:38:20,160 --> 01:38:26,160
because it's even like it was so secluded like um because that well that

1136
01:38:26,160 --> 01:38:30,520
was in the 90s right that sounds yeah that sounds right so that like when they

1137
01:38:30,520 --> 01:38:35,480
have like their gay bars and everything it's like their little community they

1138
01:38:35,480 --> 01:38:40,080
can go to a post like nowadays where it's so on the open and everybody's like

1139
01:38:40,080 --> 01:38:45,120
so open about and everything um so yeah you're right to like find something like

1140
01:38:45,120 --> 01:38:49,440
that damn well not just not he's conversation took a turn it did it took

1141
01:38:49,440 --> 01:38:56,960
a massive turn Jesus Christ no but listen not just the 90s but from the 70s to

1142
01:38:56,960 --> 01:39:03,440
the 90s he did that it was like 17 people yeah yeah yeah like 17 people

1143
01:39:03,440 --> 01:39:09,880

01:39:19,200 --> 01:39:25,280
uh Tom Brady left yeah and go retired and Edelman left I was like man I don't

1148
01:39:25,280 --> 01:39:31,080
want to tell us go to it on the Patriots man go to Patriots team was such a

1149
01:39:31,080 --> 01:39:35,240

1205
01:44:40,840 --> 01:44:44,560
make my way down there again actually it's weird being away from home for a

1206
01:44:44,560 --> 01:44:50,720
while man it really after a while I just don't I don't feel like myself because

1207
01:44:50,720 --> 01:44:53,880
I've grown up around yeah I've grown up around these people my whole life and

1208
01:44:53,880 --> 01:44:57,920
I'm really getting to this point where I'm just someone else now yeah you know

1209
01:44:57,920 --> 01:45:01,760
but it's great because every time I go back home it's like I never left it's

1210
01:45:01,760 --> 01:45:06,840
strange like the first time I um the first time like I came here left home

1211
01:45:06,840 --> 01:45:11,160
and then went back for the first time yeah that's when I was like what the

1212
01:45:11,160 --> 01:45:15,920
fuck is oh shit like this is hitting right now yeah like it is such a trippy

1213
01:45:15,920 --> 01:45:20,240
feeling to be away from home for like a good amount of time and then you go back

1214
01:45:20,240 --> 01:45:23,320
and you're like yeah I don't know man it's just like weird it hits you because

1215
01:45:23,320 --> 01:45:26,440
you're like I'm here to visit for a couple days I'm going back to this place

1216
01:45:26,440 --> 01:45:30,680
right that made me kind of homesick and like you grow accustomed to it and like

1217
01:45:30,680 --> 01:45:33,440
which is great you know it's like another thing you got to kind of get

1218
01:45:33,440 --> 01:45:38,240
through like and it shows like it shows a hustle in you and what like the hunger

1219
01:45:38,240 --> 01:45:41,320
in you that like you're willing to leave home and go somewhere else which like

1220
01:45:41,320 --> 01:45:46,000
now for us is like yeah that's like no shit I'll do that any day but some people

1221
01:45:46,000 --> 01:45:50,080
are afraid to leave like a hometown and everything and it's just like that fear

1222
01:45:50,080 --> 01:45:54,160
and it's like I'll tell you man try to just go somewhere else and like change

1223
01:45:54,160 --> 01:45:59,160
your state of mind like Russ said like change the state you know it'll change

1224
01:45:59,160 --> 01:46:04,160
your state of mind I like that I know I like that yeah yeah man speaking of

1225
01:46:04,160 --> 01:46:08,800
states like have you ever thought about like making music in like a layer like

1298
01:52:19,200 --> 01:52:22,720
life would you like could you ever see yourself becoming like a director I could

1299
01:52:22,720 --> 01:52:26,800

1303
01:52:48,480 --> 01:52:53,320
videographer he's good at directing and everything right and I was like I'm gonna

1304
01:52:53,320 --> 01:52:58,680
write down what like I'm gonna write exactly what I want to have happen just

1305
01:52:58,680 --> 01:53:03,240
help me create the angles in the scenes to make it look like like this or whatever

1306
01:53:03,240 --> 01:53:08,640
so for example like I wanted there to be an effect of like my old man like

1307
01:53:08,640 --> 01:53:12,720
holding a can of beer and like watching TV so it was my cousin who had kind of a

1308
01:53:12,720 --> 01:53:16,960
beer gut and he had right a can and he was like this and as I was doing the

1309
01:53:16,960 --> 01:53:20,480
bridge which is like intense yeah him having a heart attack flying over oh

1310
01:53:20,480 --> 01:53:24,600
wow and he took the ring light and he just waved something over and it looks

1311
01:53:24,600 --> 01:53:28,640
exactly like a dark room and like a fucked up movie where like they're

1312
01:53:28,640 --> 01:53:32,640
watching TV like one of those scenes set where you know there's like an abusive

1313
01:53:32,640 --> 01:53:37,960
father and right that dark airy color tone to it yeah so he pushed it over

1314
01:53:37,960 --> 01:53:42,320
like that but um yeah I hired my what I didn't hire I just asked my aunt if I

1315
01:53:42,320 --> 01:53:47,960
could put my little cousin hired my aunt is crazy yeah right but no my cousin

1316
01:53:47,960 --> 01:53:53,000
who produced the song he got a cop outfit and yeah but the hat on everything

1317
01:53:53,000 --> 01:53:57,840
and he played the cop to come in and say like are you doing all right to the

1318
01:53:57,840 --> 01:54:03,080
younger me my cousin and he put like this on and everything and he played a

1319
01:54:03,080 --> 01:54:08,160
great role because the song was like basically talking about like imagine if

1320
01:54:08,160 --> 01:54:14,080
you were to and every cop came visit you in your room like on the daily basically

1321
01:54:14,080 --> 01:54:19,960
um right which was like actually happened so it was like crazy to see like

1322
01:54:19,960 --> 01:54:23,000
that whole thing pan out because when it's an actual thing that has happened

1323
01:54:23,000 --> 01:54:27,720
it's like amazing what you can think of to make it even more entertaining to

1324
01:54:27,720 --> 01:54:31,480
watch right you know cuz like it's an interesting story when you ask somebody

1325
01:54:31,480 --> 01:54:36,280
about it but it's like when they put it in a book or they put it towards like
