Speaker 3 (07:49):
When is a Because there's singing in school, there's you know,
there's a talent show. But then there comes a moment
where it's like, okay, now you're writing songs. Now you're
in the studio. Now we're getting to this next level
of like, you know, kind of doing what the professionals
do in order to get to that place.

Speaker 5 (08:10):
When does that begin?

Speaker 6 (08:12):
So that's I think that's like seventeen seventeen years old,
you know, I started really taking the music serious and
you know, recording my own demo and really putting like
putting things together, you know what I'm saying, Like beating
on the wall, writing a song, and then actually getting
you know, producing, getting it, getting in front of a
keyboard and get with somebody to make the beating and

(08:34):
you know, learning until it gets better and better and
better and better.

Speaker 4 (08:36):
So I would say seventeen.

Speaker 5 (08:38):
What was your first song? He recorded?

Speaker 4 (08:40):
Shirty? Would you Be Mine?

Speaker 5 (08:42):
Shorty? Would you be Mine?

Speaker 4 (08:43):
Shutty? Would you Be Mine? It's on the Pretty Ricky album.

Speaker 1 (08:45):
It's on the Pretty Ricky Appum.

Speaker 6 (08:47):
Yeah, a lot of my songs, A lot of my
songs that I had before I joined Pretty Ricky made
the first album because you know, we did them like
from scratch.

Speaker 3 (08:56):
I did them from scratch, but you had already had
like certain hooks and certain vers stuff that you was like,
I'm telling you all this right here that I wrote
back then.

Speaker 1 (09:06):
It's gonna translate to right now. Yeah, absolutely, how do
you get into it? Pretty Ricky?

Speaker 6 (09:11):
So I was shopping my my demo around just around
Miami to all the local like Taed Lucas's and all
those people, and I stumbled across their father. They were
actually a group, and they was performing at a talent
show and he had a label, and I'm like, yo,
well my name at the time was pretty Boy. So
I'm pretty boy, man. You know my demo. He gave

(09:32):
me his card and I remember I called him one day.
He's like, come to the house. I came through that
and the first song we recorded was grind on Me.

Speaker 1 (09:42):
That's the first song y'all recorded.

Speaker 4 (09:44):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, grind on Me.

Speaker 6 (09:46):
It was like I was I was a feature for
the group of this and then once Jim Johnson came
and they all came and was like, you.

Speaker 4 (09:54):
Gotta you gotta join.

Speaker 1 (09:54):
Who wrote rind on Me?

Speaker 4 (09:56):
All of us did me? Baby Blue spectacular slick hold
on bro.

Speaker 1 (10:01):
You weren't even in the group.

Speaker 4 (10:04):
He's just.

Speaker 1 (10:06):
Writing the hook and singing up. Yeah, exactly, mab grind me.

Speaker 4 (10:10):
You wrote that hook. It took us. It took us.

Speaker 6 (10:12):
It took us maybe like four days to record that
song because we had the engineer ourselves recording at first. Yeah,
like you know what I'm saying, just just me and
Baby Blue pretty much set there. Spec could be in
one room sleep all right, come come, let's do your partner.

Speaker 3 (10:26):
You know, we all did it together. Man, Nigga, that's crazy.
And you howled at this time you're still seventeen.

Speaker 4 (10:32):
Nah, this is what nineteen. This is nineteen. It's like nineteen.

Speaker 3 (10:36):
Nineteen, Yeah, nineteen Ryan on Me the first first song, damn.

Speaker 4 (10:43):
Eight months later we got a record deal.

Speaker 3 (10:44):
Did you know you had a hit when you wrote
around on Me? Like, did you have that feeling? Did
you just feel like we did something cool?

Speaker 4 (10:50):
Onto the next I had that feeling.

Speaker 6 (10:52):
But at the time that, you know, we didn't really
understand what the sound was going to go. So they
were still right because they were still rappers and we
had to figure out the sound part. But it was
like we would we were We would rehearse, rehearse, rehearse,
rehearse to open up for somebody. That's why I never
shipped on the opening act. You know what I'm saying.
We rehearsed and get there. We can't put y'all loong,

(11:15):
like damn.

Speaker 4 (11:15):
I rated perform sometimes.

Speaker 6 (11:18):
Sometimes yeah, sometimes we had to just all right, well
we'll get we'll get at it on the next one
or whatever.

Speaker 4 (11:24):
So y'all never showed on an opening act.

Speaker 6 (11:27):
But the guy from the radio station picked that song
out of the show and played it one time, like
on the night hour or whatever.

Speaker 4 (11:34):
Shout out to Teddy T for.

Speaker 6 (11:35):
Doing that and that that one, that one time or
that one spin or whatever in the nighttime became the
most requested song in the history of the station. So
that's when everybody start coming down, and you know, it
just starts spreading like wildflike yeah.

Speaker 1 (11:52):
So this song is getting played. Yeah, song is getting
played before you'll have a record deal.

Speaker 6 (11:57):
Yeah, this song is already like yes, up and running
like we were own street team. We would go outside
of schools, put up our own posters. You know, we
had street teams like you're on this side of town
doing this, you're on that side of town. I'm in
the club making sure get played one time a night
over here he and this.

Speaker 4 (12:12):
Club making sure get played. Like it was really really
hard work, you know what I'm saying about Miami. Throughout Miami. Yeah,
throughout Miami. Off for Florida.

Speaker 6 (12:21):
So we'll start here and we'll go to Polk County
and we'll go to Orlando, then we'll go to Tallahassee
and you know, just we kind of put our own
groundwork in and then hard.

Speaker 1 (12:32):
And the record is produced by Jim Johnson and Big
d Yes. Yeah, so they were already with y'all.

Speaker 6 (12:37):
So yeah, So Jim Johnson was signed to Bluestar out
that you know, they were they were partners or whatever,
and we would get these beat CDs like these you
know beat CDs or back. Yeah, the pack that's just
sitting in the studio. So these beats are just sitting
in the studio and nobody really you know what I'm saying.

Speaker 4 (12:56):
No, so we start going through the CDs. Up, let's
take that in. You know, he didn't even know you
know what I'm saying it to, Oh, we got something.

Speaker 1 (13:05):
Like you just said. Initially, y'all was trying to figure
out how to record yourself.

Speaker 4 (13:09):
Yeah, exactly.

Speaker 1 (13:10):
So it wasn't like y'all even went in in the
beginning with the producers.

Speaker 6 (13:14):
Noah, No, exactly. They came on after something was you know,
after they saw something. But yeah, it was us just
being baby Blue in the studio pretty much.

Speaker 4 (13:25):
Wow. Hey, bro, I'm was a move.

Speaker 3 (13:30):
I'm liking the groundwork right, because that's the other part
that is I think missing from from the new artist's
standpoint is getting in the trenches and getting in the
streets and really going to be seen and to be
heard like that. Proving ground just builds a different type

(13:50):
of artists. It creates a different type of longevity. You
understand what I'm saying. It just it just builds something
different that I think is needed for our Like, Like,
by the time y'all got on the stage like a
big stage, you had been on so many small stages
and had done so many shows and done so many
so much prepping groundwork, y'all was ready to go.

Speaker 6 (14:12):
Ready, let's go ready the drop of a dim, ready
perform right now. Our audition for Craig Calvin. We was
in the lowest hotel.

Speaker 4 (14:21):
Right here on South Beach.

Speaker 6 (14:22):
You know what I'm saying. He said, well, do something
for me, all right, cool bam. We grabut to forks
and nize them and make them like their microphones. How
we practiced at home and start ripping it right then
and there and crag okay, sing sings. Let me hear
your fonssettu. I sing a woman's work everything he told
me to sing sing. I just did it on the spot.
All right, you're in, like I said, you're in.

Speaker 4 (14:43):
It's it.

Speaker 6 (14:43):
And you would think this guy is a door man
or something, you know when you first beat him, because
he just got on Craig.

Speaker 4 (14:49):
You know it's okay, cool, So okay, we performed for
this guy. All right, cool.

Speaker 6 (14:57):

We did hear Miami, So everything was in house, Everything
was in house.

Speaker 1 (18:44):
How does static get involved?

Speaker 6 (18:47):
So now we're finishing the album and they're taking us
to different songwriters and you know, trying to put these
people in place. And they say, oh, we got this guy.
You know, he has a song and we met him.
We met him right here on South Beach too. So
we go to this room and this guy's playing us
so sick of love songs. This guy's playing us all

(19:09):
of these songs. This guy's name is Neo and the
guys more so like I don't know about that, and
you know whatever, whatever, he.

So then Static pull up. Static came with.

Speaker 6 (19:59):
The the Kentucky chains, baggy pans and briggs and cardiers.
You know what I'm saying, do this with his teeth,
and he pretty much sold us on just being himself.

Speaker 4 (20:14):
He was just one of those it was it was
a star, you know what I'm saying.

Speaker 6 (20:18):
He was like one of us. He was relatable, the
way he talked, the way he carried hisself. And then
we actually started recording our first song with him, and
he actually like wrote with us.

Speaker 4 (20:28):
It wasn't a thing like you gotta do this.

Speaker 6 (20:30):
It was like kind of like how we work were
right together, you know what I'm saying, So that that
that kind of just fit right in and that's how
we met him.

Speaker 4 (20:37):
Man. Wow, Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 5 (20:40):
That was a match. He didn't have it absolutely.

Speaker 3 (20:43):
It was like like even I mean for the group
for sure, but.

Speaker 5 (20:51):
For you. Yeah, to me, you two were.

Speaker 3 (20:54):
A match made and happened for sure because I just
felt like I just felt like vocally and even idea wise,
y'all were just on the same page. It's like I
always say, like certain writers and even even certain choreographers,
like there's there's a design for somebody.

Speaker 1 (21:10):
Like remember row Rod with a Marion.

Speaker 3 (21:13):
Yeah, because Roro had choreographed for many of people here,
choreo for me for everybody, But when he choreographed for Marion,
it was like, uh, they're they're locked in and when
you got a static, it was it was everything made
so much sense for you. It was like y'all were

(21:34):
all ya, y'all were already there, like y'all were just
waiting to meet each other.

Speaker 1 (21:38):
That's a certain wine, certain one, certain tone everybody can't
pull off.

Speaker 3 (21:45):
They're sweat and then there's you, and it's like and
it's like you're one of the rare artists that you
sound like your record. He gonna let you know, let.

Speaker 1 (22:01):

like myself. I sound like myself.

Your first hit record, first hit record? And then what
happens when you get your first hit record when you
finally realize you have a hit record?

Speaker 6 (22:36):
For me, personally, we worked so much so we didn't
get to really take that in and enjoy.

Speaker 4 (22:44):
We're on four flights a day, you know what I'm saying.

Speaker 6 (22:46):
You have to touch people and see radio people, and
you had to do the groundwork, you know what I mean.
So the amount of time we put in that it
just it just seemed like another day. I ain't ready
to get to enjoy none of that gonna take it
in and be.

Speaker 4 (23:01):
Like, you know what, I finally you know never you
I made it moment never.

Speaker 5 (23:07):
That's crazy.

Speaker 3 (23:08):
I mean, I can speak on when I felt like
I saw you guys kind of enjoying yourselves. I came
down to Miami. It's my first time meeting y'all. I
came in the backstage. Things might have been a Scream tour, okay,
And I came backstage and I met y'all for the
first time.

Speaker 4 (23:24):
Were just chopping up and we gotta get in and yeah,
we do. Gotta get in, Like I'm.

Speaker 3 (23:28):
Talking to all y'all, and then y'all come out on
stage and I'm like, okay, and it's just crazy. And
then I'm like, Okay, these niggas is in their draws, Okay, okay,

Speaker 1 (23:50):
They was looking at them.

Speaker 4 (23:51):
Girls was losing.

Speaker 1 (23:53):
I mean, I'm talking about the Scream tour. They were screaming.
They were I didn't know I had it same experience
because in the bay obviously on that tour, Mario was
on that Mario was on that run O Marion, Marion

Oh so it's just records that we all have been
a part of it. I'm there, all my nieces. I
don't know who they are. I've never heard of pretty Ricky.
The lights go low. All I see is the spotlights

(24:36):

Speaker 3 (24:50):

I got my nieces and all their friends.

Speaker 1 (24:57):
That was mannish as they like to say, what beyond
like who came up with with with those ideas to
put y'all those face because y'all was wearing different type
of clothes. Y'all was out there with sparkles joints on.
You know what I mean, y'all coming on stage in
your draws under a sheet like the mind for that, well,

(25:18):
y'all part of that was this something that was just
like kind of like told to y'all, like, Okay, this is.

Speaker 4 (25:23):
What we're gonna do.

Speaker 6 (25:24):
Well, I'm gonna say, stop sucking up, Jacob. Well, I'm
gonna say that's a part of the Miami culture. Miami
culture is like the way we dance, the way you know,
a lot of us was in dance groups and stuff
before they used to dance, you know, against each other,
booty shaking and all of that same nigga boots shaking

(25:46):
to kill you though, you know what I'm saying. So
that's just I'm pretty sure the Bay y'all got y'all,
Uncle Luke created that kind of thing. So when we
got in a position to do it, I mean, should
we been doing it before the world seeing it on
you know, on the screen tour, it's just it's it's
some Miami ship.

Speaker 4 (26:06):
That's how.

Speaker 1 (26:07):
So y'all just brought what y'all were already doing, yeah
in Miami, to the world.

Speaker 4 (26:12):
That's it.

Speaker 6 (26:12):
Yeah, before they know us, we were we were the
glitter boys. We always wore stuff. That was the first
name just that that well, niggas from Miami like pit
Bull or tricked out of them glitter niggas, the glitter boys.

Speaker 4 (26:26):
We'll be at all their videos, sho you know in
the videos. You know what I'm saying, full glitter fits.
On the full glitter fits.

Speaker 6 (26:31):
You're gonna remember us because when we leave the room,
it's gonna be good on the floor ship like that.

Speaker 5 (26:36):
It's like for genuine.

Speaker 1 (26:40):
Here.

Speaker 6 (26:43):
I remember going to Michaels and Ship getting the glue,
painting the characters and all of that, putting the glitter
on it.

Speaker 4 (26:49):
Let you know what I'm saying, sit out, putting them.

Speaker 6 (26:52):
You know, painting clothes, and we did all of that
star stuff star ship.

Speaker 1 (26:57):
We talk about this all the time time. You niggas
were stars because like you said, when we left, they
knew we was there. They knew we had been there.
And someone has to know that you've been somewhere. If
you if a nigga be like, oh yeah, I think
I think I met him, you gotta figure something else out.

(27:20):
You gotta figure something else out for sure, nigga. You
got to be the glitter boys. You gotta be the
fuck glitter boys, because now you're part of the conversation. Ye,
And that's how stars are born. So that's why I
really wanted to know, like where did where did that
that that come from? And you're saying it it's just
a Miami thing.

Speaker 4 (27:38):
Some Miami ship, yep, for real.

Speaker 3 (27:40):
The other part is like you're in a group. You're
in a group for you guys. You're also signed to
a production company, to a label who also has their partnership.
How was how was doing the business the business of
a group? Because I've always been a soul artist. I
was in a group for a second, but that business
didn't go with it.

Speaker 4 (27:59):
Well, how the business was?

Speaker 6 (28:02):
We split everything equally, you know, nobody we split everything equally.

Speaker 4 (28:08):
You know. And that was that, you know what I say.

Speaker 6 (28:12):
And all of our money is in one part, and
anybody want to move their money or whatever, but he
gonna take care of us and make sure our money
is straight, you know, because if we get it right now,
we're gonna just blow through it and stuff like that.
And he was a successful, you know, ex dope boy
and stuff like that. So we lived in a nice
house and all of that kind of stuff. And you know,

(28:33):
we work so much, we have time to really spend
money or whatever. Until certain things took place and it
was like, you know what I'm gonna need my money.

Speaker 4 (28:41):
Bro. I got a son over here, you know what
I'm saying.

Speaker 6 (28:43):
I got my own family, and shit, I want to
kind of move and get my own crib. Nigga, you
ain't getting nothing, you ain't doing nothing, you know what
I'm saying. He pretty much say I own you, bro,
and I say, how I'm young and dumb, like how
you know the contract you signed?

Speaker 4 (29:00):
Like you told us that we had to sign that
for you know.

Speaker 6 (29:03):
He basically he was like, y'all gotta sign this contract for,
you know, because atlantic.

Speaker 4 (29:08):
Otherwise I wouldn't even be making y'all sign no contract.

Speaker 6 (29:11):
But so we all signed at the same time together
like whatever, you know, you got us say we thankful
to be here, like you know what I'm saying. And
then when he told me that he owned me, and
I was like, well, he was like, I spend all
the money doing this and this and that and that,
you know, promoting y'all album and this, this and that.
So me not understanding. Still, I'm like, well, you know,

(29:32):
young jeez, got a solo deal, won't want you know,
I'm asking him, how about how about I get a
solo deal so I can get some money, he said, Nigga,
I own you, I said, but I only signed a
contract to be in a group.

Speaker 4 (29:42):
And that's when that's when all hell broke loose.

Speaker 6 (29:44):
So I flew to New York, got my own lawyer,
got my own manager, and it started really like dissecting
the business, like, Okay, what's what he give back? An
item min's list, stuf that said that that candle that's lit,
this microphone standing this pillow. He have all these kind
of things from his house, saying that that's what my
money went to. Bro And after that, I wasn't I

(30:06):
wasn't happy. So I ended up leaving in the middle
of a successful album.

Speaker 1 (30:10):
So at this point, you have no before this, you
have no lawyer, you have no nobody else.

Speaker 6 (30:16):
His lawyer was his lawyer was our lawyer. So I
could have you know, I could have won. You know,
it was a conflict adventures anyways, I could have won.
I could have I could have really damaged and drained them.
But I was making so much money on my own.

Speaker 1 (30:30):
You know, are you making money from the shows or
is everything going.

Speaker 4 (30:34):
To a pot? No, everything going to the to his part.

Speaker 1 (30:37):
Even when y'all was doing y'all shows.

Speaker 4 (30:38):
Yeah, even yeah, even was on our show.

Speaker 1 (30:40):
So at this point, do you even know what you're
making per show?

Speaker 4 (30:45):
Even tho? No, No, I don't even know. Bro.

Speaker 1 (30:49):
Y'all just doing the work.

Speaker 4 (30:50):

Speaker 4 (30:58):
Rolled so much.

Speaker 6 (30:59):
You know, we come home one day, two days at
the most out of a month, you know what. So yeah,
it's just work time. We come home, all right, everything

You know what I'm saying?

Speaker 6 (31:43):
Come home, come home, all right, I gotta go to
bring bring the car back.

Speaker 4 (31:49):
It was it was the control.

Speaker 6 (31:51):
Like you know what I'm saying, Imagine doing all the
work and and everything, you finally want to come home
and kick it with your friends. I don't pen around
these niggas for them there a month straight. I want
to kick it with my with the homies that you
grew up with. Yeah, oh, now you can't do that.
After while, you get tired of being told you can't,
you can't, you can't, you can't. So I just, you know,
I kind of rebelled on them, like, nah, bro, you know,

(32:13):
I was my own ship. And then that's when you know,
everything came to.

Speaker 1 (32:17):
Life and you're a nineteen year old, twenty year old kid.

Speaker 4 (32:20):
I'm twenty years Yeah, you just you.

Speaker 1 (32:21):
I mean, you're grown man at this point, but you
still you're still coming out of adolescents. Yeah, and this
is the first thing that you're experiencing. Yeah, yeah, exactly,
because I always ask like what you buy? Obviously, nigga,
you didn't buy nothing.

Speaker 4 (32:34):
Because you get you get none, get nothing, nothing.

Speaker 1 (32:39):
Deal done whole shit? Have you done a publishing deal
anything yet? Or was all that wrapped into that.

Speaker 6 (32:44):
Deal, wrapped into that one deal. So when my lawyer
told me that I can get a I got an.
I took an advance out of my be on my
right ship shouts out the ward heell and and Kathy. Yeah, yeah,
fifty thousand dollars. That's my first check I ever got
from the music business.

Speaker 1 (33:01):
You know, you already got hit records out though. Yeah,
this band on me out your Body because we didn't
get into the records.

Speaker 4 (33:09):
It's the first album. So it's the first album.

Speaker 6 (33:12):
So yeah, so grounding Me, Your Body, Juicy, all them songs,
all the work is done. At this point, we about
to transition into the second album, and I moved out,
you know, with that fifty grand I ain't never I
ain't never go back to that house.

Speaker 1 (33:26):
You moved out between the first and the second album, Okay, okay,
got my own apartment with one of my homeboys.

Speaker 6 (33:31):
You know, we would have on it, and I told
him I still be in a group. I just don't
want to live, you know, living live in the same house.
So then during that time, now he had to pay me.
He had this other manager or whatever, and I have
Jimmy Nchman was my manager, so I had him and
you know, it'll be late payments, you know what I'm

(33:52):
saying for shows, you know, stuff like that. And there
was just so much animosity between what he will be
telling them versus I'm telling them, this is what's this
is what's up with this?

Speaker 4 (34:02):
This their dad? So they finally it hard to believe
what I'm saying.

Speaker 6 (34:07):
I'm pretty much on ice cube if this was n
w A, you know what I'm saying. And yeah, the
Late Night Special album we recorded it, and I went
out to promote on the hot Line and those couple
of records, and I was like, I'm not doing this
shit no more, you.

Speaker 4 (34:25):
Know what I'm saying. And they went solo. I went solo.

Speaker 6 (34:29):
They got it, They replaced me with another member, and
I just got to work, you know what I'm saying.
That's when I started putting out that I did you wrong.
I did get you at replies I did. That's vibe
with Yogay all my street hits rock bottom with Lil Wayne.
I'm around Lil Wayne every day. They want to sign
me the young money, but I'm tied up into the

(34:49):
contract with this guy.

Speaker 4 (34:51):
You know what I'm saying.

Speaker 6 (34:52):
He trying to make it hard for me for anything
that I do in terms of features and business. Like
Birdman wanted me on a song called BOSSI on this album.
I did the hook. He said, Yo, how much you
want to want for this? The man told him I
want one fifty my make up say no unless they're
gonna give it to me. Shit like that. So there's
a lot of songs that I was supposed to be on.
Please excuse my hands. My background is still on that record,

(35:14):
you know what I'm saying, cause I recorded it, you know.

Speaker 4 (35:17):
Shit like that.

Speaker 6 (35:17):
Certain certain things I was supposed to do, they were
they were kind of just taking from me.

Speaker 4 (35:22):
And yeah, that was a tough time. But I had my.

Speaker 6 (35:25):
Mixtape out and those songs is bubbling and I'm finding
the streets getting money. I'm getting money now, I'm getting
twelve five a show and I'm getting compared to what
you know what I'm saying. So I was getting I'm
really getting money every So I was like, well, I
don't care, I just put another mixtape song.

Speaker 4 (35:43):
I don't care. I never drop an album, you know
what I'm saying.

Speaker 6 (35:46):
And Craig them was like, man, So during our lawsuit,
he tried to depose.

Speaker 4 (35:53):
Julie Greenwall, which was a bad move on his part.

Speaker 6 (35:57):
What he yeah, exactly after they gave him all that money,
he did that, and then ship, did you wrong?

Speaker 4 (36:04):
You know, I went to radio digit wrong? Did you wrong?
It is top twenty. So right now they don't know
if they're gonna be atlant it gonna pick me up or not.

Speaker 1 (36:11):
But you know, it's like, oh, you don't have no
deal as a solo artist at this point, I don't know.
This is your mixtape? Did you wrong? It's on your mixtape?

Speaker 4 (36:19):
Yeah, this is this is this is me? That's my
word shit.

Speaker 6 (36:21):
Okay, all right, so then it's top twenty. Then Craig
them finally says, okay, we're in. We're in the pleasure
be business. And then you know they took that to
like number two, and I signed that contract for that
and my solo shit and basically.

Speaker 4 (36:37):
I'll never forget it. Baby.

Speaker 6 (36:39):
Blueting was going around saying, oh, well he's still signing
to us, so you know the same shit easy he
was doing the Ice QB. And for me, my ego
is intact like nah, nigga, I wrote this record the
top twenty. You know, y'all niggas had nothing to do
with that. So you know, it was a thing to
where his imprint would be on my album. If you

(37:00):
know what I'm saying, why is this imprint on the
on the charts? I ain't signing him, you know whatever?

Speaker 1 (37:04):
Whatever, Because Atlantic ultimately had to do a deal where
he had probably had an override on your new project
and so that he would allow them to do your
solo album. So that's how you in a sense ended
up at Atlantic still.

Speaker 6 (37:19):
Right, So I said, you know what, man that you know,
I'm thankful for everything he did for me. If it
wasn't for him, I wouldn't be where I'm at right now.
So I gave him five hundred thousand dollars. Go your way,
I go my way.

Speaker 4 (37:34):
And that was it, bro, you know what I'm saying.
That was it. Yeah. I never had to go to
court after that.

Speaker 6 (37:37):
We never we never had to go to court. But
I could have. You know, I had the money, you
know I'm saying I have. I had the money to
bury this guy.

Speaker 4 (37:46):
But I just forget.

Speaker 6 (37:47):
You know, I'm unforgiving, bro, I'm a forgiving person, you
know what I'm saying. So I just kind of looked
at the futures like, you know what, I'm doing this
and doing that.

Speaker 4 (37:56):
You can keep that.

Speaker 1 (37:57):
Yeah, yeah, brought your way out, my.

Speaker 4 (38:01):
Way out of that, Yeah for sure, ship listen it.

Speaker 1 (38:05):
So people don't understand about the music business too though,
Like you you really have to. You gotta read that contract,
you know what I mean?

Speaker 6 (38:12):
Why I wouldn't they brought myself out? Started off in debt.
Put it like that, started off in debt Atlantic.

Speaker 1 (38:19):
You know, because they needed theirs back.

Speaker 5 (38:21):
Now.

Speaker 6 (38:21):
Yeah, so I started off in debt, some million dollars
in debt before my I don't even my first album
even come out.

Speaker 1 (38:27):
Come on speak on that because that's the that's the
that's the business side of this. That is the business
side of this. Yeah. Where now you have Now you
have this debt that you like you said, you're starting
off before anything because you had to get that half
a millionaire and then obviously whatever the budget is or
whatever the advance is from Atlantic for your new for
your new solo project, right, that's what you in.

Speaker 4 (38:48):
The red on that.

Speaker 1 (38:50):
I'm red that's before you ever even record a song.

Speaker 4 (38:54):
Well, I had did you wrong out? So did you wrong?

Speaker 1 (38:57):
I'm talking about as far as you're so.

Speaker 4 (39:00):

Speaker 1 (39:04):
But you wrote did you wrong too?

Speaker 5 (39:05):

to that record and I wrote one hundred percent of
that record.

You know what I'm saying, Like obviously I've done it
something in my life. You know what I'm saying. But
I'm not. I'm not that guy that I've never been faded.
I've never you know what I'm saying to that point

(47:51):
where it's like I need somebody to bring me back
to life. So I'm thinking to myself, man, what the
fuck aout they about to give you a shot? I
needed my life, Nigga. I was half and I watched

how does pe know the nurses? He just got nurses

Speaker 4 (48:17):

He was already on it.

Speaker 4 (48:21):
Bro.

Speaker 1 (48:21):
I didn't know nothing about that ship, grown ass man.

Speaker 1 (49:08):
Vitamins right to the blood. Live cooking that night cooking.

Speaker 4 (49:21):
Had a good ass time.

Speaker 6 (49:23):
But and and to answer your other question in terms
of on the on the hustling side of things, you know,
for me, I grew up sharing clothes with my friends
or if you ain't got it, you know what I'm saying,
But we I'll give you my last if I don't
need it, you know what I'm saying, Like, that's just
how I grew up with my friends. So you know,
for me, it's like you need every day money, you

(49:44):
need weekly money, you need monthly money, you need yearly money.

Speaker 4 (49:48):
So whatever I can do.

Speaker 6 (49:50):
You know what I'm saying in terms of if it
if it's a car rental business, if it's just that's
every day money. You know what I'm saying, music business, ship,
we do our shows, that's weekend money.

Speaker 4 (49:59):
You you know what I'm saying. Real estate shit, that's
the monthly money. You know, just ship like that. So
I just kind of got my mind wired just you know,
just from that perspective. Bro.

Speaker 1 (50:09):
Now I love that, bro, and you are absolutely shut
off my back type of human being. Bro, I've seen it.
I've seen you like just look out for people. And
that's that's also why you've always succeeded at every time,
you know what I mean, Like at every time it's
like you we don't see each other all the time.

(50:31):
When we do see each other, I'm like, Okay, they
go pee, he got that going on, he got this
going on, he got you know what I'm saying. Like,
and it's people that fuck with you that will always
reach back or reach over and say, hey, come on, pee.

Shout out to our brother Love Rance. Yeah come, you
know what I'm saying. Like, but the fact that you
just came and did that on the Love, it was
just like, bro, like think I'm with you. So it
made sense that when it was your turn to get
on that versus let's get to that vers Let's get
to that versus, let's pull up. I had no intentions

(54:17):
on performing or doing anything. I'm just like my brothers
is performing all y'all on that show. O Marion A
hit Tank already, ohad hit Tank. So we had to
go and then nigga, my phone light up.

Speaker 4 (54:33):
I knew what it was too.

Speaker 1 (54:36):
Was I saying your name? I said, all this, motherfucker,
he gonna tell me I gotta come perform this song
At that point, Bro, I hadn't because this is before
we do slow anything. I had sang live anywhere anything
probably damn to ten years. Yeah, Anute, I had not

(54:58):
been on the stage, performed or doing that type probably
about ten years, like for real. And I'm knowing what
versus is. And I'm knowing because I'm the nigga in
the comments on everybody else versus talking shit something like
oh now now I'm wanted the niggas they gonna be

(55:19):
talking shit about. Give us this scene from your lens,
Jesus Christ, of that night and where we had not
to No, kid, what's at the at the Novo Downtown
La gang Banger Central, Man, It's all the gang members

(55:44):
from the last thirty forty years look.

Speaker 5 (55:48):
Like no R and B backstage.

Speaker 4 (55:49):
Yeah, don't don't.

Speaker 1 (55:51):
Tell us about that night man. From your perspective.

Speaker 6 (55:54):
From my perspective, we never got a sound check of nothing, right, Okay,
we go start there, so we get the call, okay
with the dude versus all right, cool, were flying there over,
it's time for sound check. No sound check, no sound checking,
little sound check, right, So we finally walk on the stage. Right,
these niggas got dancers.

Speaker 4 (56:13):
A band, they got all kind of shit going, and
we're like, well, we only came with the DJ. I
thought this, that's what this was about.

Speaker 6 (56:21):
So then that's when it became my competitive you know
what I'm saying, Like, oh, these niggas trying to pull
on you know what I'm saying. And then, like you said,
we never got the mic check or whatever the or
whatever the case may be.

Speaker 4 (56:31):
So Mario brought a sound man and he stood out.
He's an incredible singer.

Speaker 6 (56:35):
But you know, I just wish everybody would have had
the same you know, the same uh, the same rollout,
you know what I'm saying, And you know, I just
wish that everybody could have shined the way that we
know that everybody can you know, the way that we
know everybody should have shined. But for me, I mean
that's just how I seen it. I seen it as
it wasn't. It wasn't one hundred percent fair, But you

(56:58):
gotta work with what you got. So hey, I got
I got a lot of his.

Speaker 1 (57:01):
It got aggressive, yeah, yeah, aggressive, aggressive side of it though.

Speaker 5 (57:06):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (57:07):
Do you think that there was too much liquor?

Speaker 4 (57:09):
Nah? I think it was. See that's the thing about me.

Speaker 6 (57:14):
They think I turn up right now as common as
I am right now as somebody walked into something happened,
I'll turn up right now.

Speaker 4 (57:20):
Just it don't. It got nothing to do with no liquor,
you know what I'm saying. I just think that it
wasn't fair. Bro, it wasn't fair.

Speaker 1 (57:26):
And they weren't on yet though, right because for you, Yeah,
Mario and Mario and Mario weren't on yet.

Speaker 4 (57:32):
I'm talking.

Speaker 6 (57:33):
I'm talking about what I'm talking about with them with
with my set, within our set, the Niggas came with
a whole band who had a band and.

Speaker 4 (57:40):
And and dancers and all kind of ship raggie dancers. Yeah,
they had like a whole production.

Speaker 3 (57:49):
Remember j Is he was walking back and forth across
the stage. He did it at least sixty two times,
and I was like, where the fuck is Rajie going?
Where does Jie keep on?

Speaker 4 (57:59):
Because we because we ain't see the set. We ain't
see I didn't see the settings. I walked on.

Speaker 1 (58:04):
Nobody else was walking across. You didn't see the team
you walked on?

Speaker 6 (58:09):
Yes and nothing and yeah, no sound. I ain't literally
just walked on the stage, and it's like here we go, nigga.
We got to dances, and we got damn nigga. You
know what I'm saying, I'm I'm hot now.

Speaker 4 (58:21):
And then and then.

Speaker 6 (58:24):
They like skipped the skipped the song or turn or
something like that, trying to play. I was like, y'all
ain't gonna sit up here and play, you know what
I'm saying, Like, no, bro, And that's just how I
felt about it, and then formed the group. Yeah, we're friends,
we're friends, but it's it's competitive right now. It's like
we're playing basketball. We shipped talking basketball, we ship talking football.

(58:48):
We shipp talking R and B too.

Speaker 5 (58:50):
Like I was like, somebody's gonna fight.

Speaker 4 (58:54):
And we got the most views too.

Speaker 3 (58:56):
Though, people asking me, and I was like this, listen,
you can look at it one of two ways, right.
You can look at it as you know, the aggressive
side of it and the competitive side of it kind
of overshadowed you know what these guys are capable of musically,
I said, Or you can look at it as like
that many people tuned in, that many people are now

(59:19):
streaming their songs, that many people are now going to
pull up to their shows. And I said, that's the win,
because when you go into a versus space like the
verses was more so kind of created in rap format.
Sure wasn't totally designed for R and B guys, So
R and B almost had to figure out a way
to be seen, you know what I'm saying, to to

(59:40):
have interaction in that space, and you guys organically did it.

Speaker 5 (59:44):
Y'all.

Speaker 3 (59:45):
Wasn't trying to be anything. Y'all was just really then
people didn't know that. People didn't know that no niggas is.

Speaker 1 (59:53):
I think that's that's the confusing part for most of
the public, is not realizing that the artists that you see,
no matter what genre of music they're doing, we actually
all come from the same place. We come from the
same neighborhood. One just chose to rap about it and
the other chose to sing about it our hoop or whatever.

(01:00:15):
But we all literally come from this same places. So
we're gonna react. We're going to react, you know what
I mean? I just think that, Oh well, y'all s
you know you sing love songs. I'm like, listen, man,
I've been to music ban it's a long time. I've
seen more R and B niggas fire on somebody than anything.

(01:00:36):
Than anything, I won't even just say that, than rappers.
I've seen more R and B niggas get off than
any other genre of music.

Speaker 4 (01:00:46):
I don't know why, but for some reason, who's we
thought about the whispers?

Speaker 1 (01:00:52):
Oh yeah, the whispers they weren't playing, whispers wasn't playing,
had them things on them?

Speaker 5 (01:00:57):
What's happening?

Speaker 4 (01:00:57):
You know what I mean?

Speaker 1 (01:00:58):
That sound check and what I don't wait.

Speaker 4 (01:01:01):
To the show.

Speaker 1 (01:01:03):
What I mean, you don't think the temptations to whoop
your ass, we're shooting. You'll think, oh, this is stump
you out, stump you out your niggas, worry about David Robin, David,
Oh this Ben and put your ass in the choke
hold man but it's just it's just interesting how that,
you know what I mean. I think Versus kind of

(01:01:23):
put a spotlight on that side of it of like, Okay,
well you know he's still.

Speaker 4 (01:01:29):
Young black men out here. Don't play with them, you
know what I mean? They could go left on you
now cold.

Speaker 5 (01:01:34):
Now what's the business right now? Pete? What's what is?
What is? What is the movement?

Speaker 4 (01:01:39):
Right now? You what I'm doing right now? Well, I
got like six albums recorded.

Speaker 1 (01:01:49):
You're gonna record, I record? You know what.

Speaker 4 (01:01:53):
I don't believe in waste the music.

Speaker 6 (01:01:55):
Okay, So if it ain't gonna get put out the
right way, okay, I'm gonna just hold off into you know.
You know, it's a lot of people to say they're
gonna do stuff. We're gonna do this, we're gonna do this,
we're gonna do that, and it never happens. So I'm
just to a point to where I'm about to just
you know, I gotta kick.

Speaker 4 (01:02:11):
The door down.

Speaker 3 (01:02:14):
Brother's always R and B money, man, I got to
kick the door down. It's always your brothers, man. It's
always the people who actually show up for you every time.
For sure, every time you you you are not without
my brother at all by any means. Yeah, it's your
world now for sure. For sure I would love.

Speaker 6 (01:02:33):
Here and then and then it's and then it's and
then it's also figuring out this new this new thing,
you know, all these fake streams and all like that.
You know, it's it's different than you know, having relationships
at radio and getting your record play at radio and
then going to touch the people.

Speaker 4 (01:02:49):
And it's so much it's different now, So to figure
that out that's the hard part.

Speaker 5 (01:02:54):
Adapting.

Speaker 3 (01:02:55):
That's not it's not for new artists. There is, you know,
the different the conversation that involves a lot of that.
But you've been able to build an audience like you've
been able to build, you know, a venue full of
real people.

Speaker 5 (01:03:15):
That's that's all that matters, right.

Speaker 3 (01:03:19):
Because you can They can manipulate streaming numbers, they can
manipulate YouTube numbers, they can do all that and only
two hundred people pull up. That's when you know, ain't no,
ain't no true connection. You've had a true connection with
the people who are now waiting to be reconnected to you.

(01:03:39):
And that's not rocket science. That's you showing up with
that shit, and that's putting it out.

Speaker 5 (01:03:45):
Yeah.

Speaker 6 (01:03:45):
Well, like I said, for me, yeah, it come to
the shows, so we know proof that these people out
there After the shows, I said, let me look at
see how many new followers I gained.

Speaker 4 (01:03:56):
And it just stays the same, you know what I mean? Like, bro,
it stays ain't like something wrong with this?

Speaker 5 (01:04:01):
No, no, something Bro?

Speaker 1 (01:04:03):
We are I look at I look at my Instagram
and do the same thing.

Speaker 4 (01:04:06):
That ain't it. It ain't that, ain't it. I can
tell you.

Speaker 3 (01:04:10):
Listen, there are artists that thousands of people show up
to see that are sitting on fifty thousand Instagram followers.

Speaker 1 (01:04:19):
Yeah, our money in in that box, Our money is
in those streets.

Speaker 6 (01:04:24):
We get in to conditions I should get back to.
How do you get back to connecting with the streets again.

Speaker 5 (01:04:32):
It's really really simple.

Speaker 4 (01:04:35):
Your road to.

Speaker 1 (01:04:38):
Listen, the road and the radio.

Speaker 4 (01:04:40):
That's it. That's it, that's it.

Speaker 5 (01:04:43):
Listen.

Speaker 1 (01:04:43):
They are still they are still doing love that the
radio is still doing.

Speaker 3 (01:04:48):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (01:04:48):
Come meet, come pull up and see they're still doing that.
Because most of the artists in this space now too,
they they don't want to meet the people for some
odd reason. I don't know what that's about. Like, how
could you not want to meet your fans? How could
you not want to embrace and have conversations with your fans?
And you know what I mean, Like that's always been

(01:05:08):
a part of you know how this thing goes for
somebody to tell you, oh the experience they have from
your record or oh when you wrote that one song
and all that like that that how could you not
want that? How could you not want that real interaction
with the people who have given you.

Speaker 4 (01:05:25):
This life everything?

Speaker 5 (01:05:28):

your audience, and that part is don't hold on to
the music. And I'm speaking from my own experience now
moving back into the artist space and me and Tank
having those conversations where you're like, bro, like, let the
people have the music, let the people hear the music.
Like it will never be what it was. The music

(01:05:54):
business has changed absolutely, But what it does is it
keeps you current, It keeps you fresh into space because
there are people who are waiting for new music, are
waiting to hear something that you're doing.
