There's people there that have been there their whole lives, right,
There's people that migrated there, people that have been in
and out of Rexdale. Some say it's dangerous, some say
it's not dangerous. So it all depends on how you roll,
I guess in Rexdale, right.
Speaker 1 (02:20):
Right, It depends what you're born to. Some people get
born in a type of neighborhood. Whrey got no choice,
you know, yeah, for me, I had, I had choices.

I saw you went back to your mom's crib in
Rextall and went back to your room and kind of
reflected on everything that happened there, right right, Yo. And
I also saw that, you know, you were raised on manners,
having manners, and how Americans don't necessarily.

I feel like they don't like Americas that much over there. No, Yeah,
and I fall under that, you know what I'm saying? Yeah,
what did you say?
Speaker 3 (03:51):
I didn't have that experience but there are way too
many tank tops and way too little socks.
Speaker 1 (03:56):
Both of those bring the funk, you know what I mean,
It's crazy. I noticed that shopping is great though. Over there.
I can't complain shopping shopping.
Speaker 3 (04:03):

Speaker 4 (04:12):
That's what duty free stands for. God bless. I had
no idea what that stake.
Speaker 1 (04:16):
I didn't know. I didn't got to pay your duties. Man,
I don't fucking travel. I'm here and I'm at home.

Too much though.
Speaker 4 (04:52):
It's gonna be a strict dad.
Speaker 1 (04:53):
Yeah, I'm not gonna. I'm not gonna give them handouts,
no spoil I'm making I let them figure out the
ship by themselves.
Speaker 4 (04:58):
Well okay, you say that now, you've.
Speaker 1 (05:00):
Never seen that video on the internet with the Asian
dad and then his son is trying to Like they're
walking and there's like a rope in the sidewalk and
he's like crying, he wants to be picked up over
and he just waits, and sooner or later the kid
figured it out.
Speaker 3 (05:13):
Yeah, you gotta let them find it out. Yeah, you
find that vine of them of that experience.
Speaker 1 (05:17):
You got to let them figure out.
Speaker 4 (05:18):
Let them figure out Garcia's son.
Speaker 3 (05:20):
I listen, they're gonna leave the country soon, and his
sixteen year old son is going to hang back and
be with family. I'm like, let him stay by himself.
He's sixteen. I think he can handle it.
Speaker 1 (05:28):
I don't know, it depends how he's raising, how much
he is. You know, he's a sixteen year old boy
with a girlfriend, bro, and they're getting so I don't
want to come home and be your grandpa. How's the
time for Garcia?
Speaker 4 (05:44):
Right?
Speaker 3 (05:45):
And his wife Sarah, beautiful wife Sarah, to like to
really see the job that they've done with him.
Speaker 1 (05:51):
That's the opportunity. I mean, I mean, you know, like
especially dads, I know they want their kids to be
like them, right, It's like me, if I want my
kid to be like me, he got to kind of
grow up like me. It was like my parents just
at work all day, were just figuring out.
Speaker 3 (06:03):
Yeah, and that's what.
Speaker 4 (06:04):
But you was also that had you in the streets naff.
Speaker 1 (06:07):
But nah, I was smart enough to know, like you
know what I mean. I was bumping Nas on the
way here, and Nas is like my encyclopedia, you know
what I'm saying. I was listening to him. I go
outside and see what's going on. It's exactly matching up
to the music. Yes, I knew it. I had to
stay away.
Speaker 3 (06:19):
From Nah, that's right, that's right. Yeah, growing up I
was left alone too, But like TV and radio help
raise me right, and music and hip hop in the
dark and jay Z was like.
Speaker 1 (06:28):
Dark and was going on. TV was crazy dark and
the news was dark for sure.
Speaker 3 (06:32):
You feel me, Like now they'll they'll pull away from
a shot like a dangerous shot.
Speaker 4 (06:36):
Back then, bro, you we was watching heads roll on
the freeway. Right ship was wild, bro.
Speaker 1 (06:42):
Even YouTube back in the day was crazy.
Speaker 3 (06:44):
Yeah yeah yeah, my era was before YouTube but all good,
so YouTube was crazy crazy, yo, bro, I really like
real me, Like I like real me. I think that
that song I don't know, does that song when you
recorded that song? You wrote that song obviously, right, Like
you go in there with with with an intent, like, yo,
(07:05):
I gotta speak my truth here.
Speaker 1 (07:08):
I really I'm like a notation musical kind of like
you know, piano type person. Like I just go based
off like how the chords is and how the vibe
is of just that and I'll just like the lyrics
just come out depending on, you know, how I'm feeling.
And that day it was like Metro pulled up and
every beat he pretty much played, I was just recording
to every single one. Of course it's central booming, yeah,
(07:28):
but not just because of that, just like I don't know,
like I'll say no to beats. I don't care who
you are, but Metro by chance.
Speaker 4 (07:34):
But you're a producer, so you have that.
Speaker 1 (07:36):
Yeah. But we he knows what I want to like,
he knows what kind of be something looking for.
Speaker 3 (07:41):
I feel like you know, yeah, be instant Unlimited was
a really good choice too to go with. I'm glad
that made the album too unlimited. It's crazy. I love
that with Cardi right, getting the Cardi verse that's is
that tough to get?
Speaker 4 (07:55):
Is that?
Speaker 1 (07:56):
Communication wise? Does he disappear? I don't know. I think
I feel like like we have an even relationship. I
remember just being like I always remember this one memory
where I was starting a perfect time and then play
by Cardi was in the studio with us, just kicking it,
and I'll never forget like we was talking about like yo,
I had supreme stuff and was talking about trading it.
Like we was at that level where like got some
money but not really and like got some success but
(08:17):
not really. So we were both on the common Yeah,
Homi shit, I just got to know him and they
always been just cool. Every time I pull upon him,
the exact same person. So I'm just, you know, blessed
to have shared you know, rub shoulders with the people.
Speaker 3 (08:28):
I'm sure you've seen people switch up, oh for sure.
Not sure for the shape, but I'm just saying, like,
in this business, it's going to run into it.
Speaker 1 (08:35):
Absolutely. You drop a number one album, they said, job.
You don't drop a number one album, they say, job,
So didn't it break your heart?
Speaker 5 (08:41):
No?
Speaker 1 (08:41):
No, I knew what to expect. I knew what to expect.
I know, I know all these relationships just based off
a lot of them is just based off of the
fact of who I am now, you know what I mean,
not like my friends from like back home. That's just
the you know, the real me. Yeah, for sure.
Speaker 3 (08:55):
What's up Jack?
Speaker 5 (08:56):
You know you've said before that you've had that your
personal life has almost made you quick music and stop it.
Have you found that balance between personal and music?
Speaker 1 (09:03):
Yeah? I feel like I have to sort a couple
of things out of my personal life, like remove a
couple things people, And once I did that, if I'm like,
you know, I just got this space to think about
myself kind of be selfish in a healthy way.
Speaker 2 (09:18):
M hm.
Speaker 1 (09:19):
And then also like not paying attention to social media
towards I feel like social media is messing up everybody
right now, just stay off that shit. When I stay
off that shit in my life is great. I'm on it.
Speaker 3 (09:29):
Not to now you can o d on social media.
Speaker 1 (09:31):
You're gonna dig I always find myself looking past they
could be fifty fire emojis, and I look past those
fifty fire emojis and just look for that one back,
and that one holds so much more weight than.
Speaker 3 (09:41):
All them, you know, I feel I can't give too
much power to that, right, That's what I've learned.
Speaker 1 (09:46):
Like you pay attention to it gets crazy. It's crazy.
I stay off that shit.
Speaker 4 (09:49):
Can you read into it?
Speaker 5 (09:52):
Like you go through, like you respond, you stop responding
to those type of comments, the ones that like are
the negative ones.
Speaker 1 (09:58):
I mean I've responded one of the past ones that
needed yeah, yeah, always that one. Fuck yeah.
Speaker 3 (10:05):
But it's crazy because now you're in their page, and
if they're public, you're you're scrolling, You're looking for anything, right,
You're like you're going hard, and if they're private, you
fucking report them.
Speaker 1 (10:16):
That's crazy. Just the other day, the other day, there
was this clip of me and Neon on stream, and
I'm talking about how like sometimes least in a car
could be financially better, like with taxis smart and whatever.
But I didn't go into detail about like how you
know what I mean, how it worked. I see the
clip and I see a bunch of people comment, They're like, oh, bro,
if you can't afford the car. Just say that, or
they're like, they're like, no, what does he know about interest?
(10:39):
And I clicked these people's page. I'm like, bro, you
ain't never bought a nice car about three in the
last five six years. You end up feeling bad expensive
cars over two hundred eight thousand. What I'm saying, I
didn't even see my cars on the bottom. I look
at the pictures, say yes, so I know what I'm
talking about. I see that properties. Don't even see bottle,
so I don't know. Like, you can't pay attention to
the crowd because the crowd is you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 3 (11:00):
Now, But you've also called a fan on FaceTime to
tell him it's okay to be a fan of you.
Speaker 1 (11:04):
Yeah, for sure, right for sure. But even that, like
people might hate on you and make you feel like
shit for being a fan of a certain artist. Now
it's crazy. You got one artist fans beefing other artists fans. Shit,
it's crazy. Social media shit is wild.
Speaker 3 (11:16):
You gotta be careful. Run it, don't let it run you,
I guess.
Speaker 1 (11:19):
Exactly for sure. Unplugged from the matrix, you know that shit.
Speaker 3 (11:22):
Yeah, you have to yo how long rextell how long
did it take to make the album. Were you in
between stuff or were you solely focused on the project,
because for me, it sounds like a focused project.
Speaker 1 (11:33):
The songs, most of the songs that are on the album,
they were made in the final year, But it took
about three years and a lot of those years where
I was like stepping away from music. I wasn't even
in the studio for like months at a time. It's
because like I want to give my mind right. All
my friends all worried about me, like what's going on
with him? And da da da. I got to go
through something to get through it, like let me just
(11:53):
stay away from the shit for a second, and that
really helped, just you know what I mean. But I
would always constantly feel guilt I'm not working, just like
a weird balance.
Speaker 5 (12:01):
You know.
Speaker 1 (12:01):
Yeah. Is that from like having immigrant parents? That and
also just the pace that I've always been used to,
which is the studio, students, studio, hotels, travels, travel. Like
I'm like slowing down and saying now, I just feel
like you feel like you're not popping or something anymore,
you know. M You get in your head a lot
and mix the social media drive you crazy.
Speaker 3 (12:20):
Yeah, then it's just like, oh shit, I'm done, I'm finished.
Speaker 1 (12:22):
Yeah, it's a bad combination.
Speaker 3 (12:23):
No, yeah, give yourself grace, give yourself time, right right?
What's up, nik yo?
Speaker 2 (12:27):
You know, just being like the megaproducer that you are, bro, Like,
what's one big piece of advice that you would give
to producers who are like just starting out.
Speaker 1 (12:35):
A lot of people ask me the same thing at
my meet and greets. I just save music theory, like
learn how to play an instrument. Learn that, like you
have to if you want to be a really good
beat maker, you got to learn a little bit of everything, like,
because a beat is just a band. At the end
of the day. There's a drummer, there's a guy playing
the piano, there's a guy playing guitar, the guy doing
against vocal layers or whatever, somebody playing synth. There's only
(12:56):
so much shit that can fit on there. If you
don't know how to deal with all those if you
don't try some drumming I learned patterns or something. If
you don't try piano, you don't try a little guitar
and figure out how it's supposed to be played and
how good can your best possibly be you know what
I'm saying.
Speaker 2 (13:08):
Do you ever get fearful of like how AI is
like slowly taking over the producer space.
Speaker 1 (13:13):
No, because AI will never have taste, Like it'll do
what you tell it to do for sure, but you
got to have the taste. You gotta know what the pick. Still,
at end of the day, you can't just tell AI
make me a corp progression and just put that corporression
on the song without men thinking about it.
Speaker 3 (13:24):
It takes a sauce, Yeah, human sauce.
Speaker 1 (13:26):
You need that. Yeah, and sauce sauce is crazy. But
if AI ever learns the sauce, they we're in trouble.
Speaker 3 (13:41):
But people ask us that as well with radio and
AI give a fuck like AI can never dog could never.
Speaker 1 (13:48):
Don't underestimate it of course, kind of like how like
Blockbuster do with Netflix?
Speaker 2 (13:53):
Right?
Speaker 1 (13:54):
Be Blockbuster? Very true with it?
Speaker 3 (13:57):
Yeah, exactly, stay with it.
Speaker 1 (13:58):
I'd all day. I love I love it, man, The
grocery trips will never be the same, dude.
Speaker 5 (14:06):
I use it for grocery list to Cruz uses it
for emails and comments on Instagram.
Speaker 3 (14:10):
Yeah, because I don't want to leave the same comment
as everybody, so GPT helps me out?
Speaker 4 (14:15):
Yo you with Don Tolliver?
Speaker 3 (14:16):
Was that?
Speaker 1 (14:17):
Was that a session together or did that just come
about together? He was at the studio at my manager
just crib. We're just chilling. Then he played some songs
and I started playing songs and he just started recording
to them. He actually did two that night, and and
that one was the stronger record.
Speaker 3 (14:34):
Yeah, where's the other one?
Speaker 1 (14:36):
The other one is the song that was on an album.
I don't want to say it because fans are gonna
start asking for it, but there was a song on
album where he he was on it too, but we
just talked his verse off. I mean, we have to
pick which one because we don't want to put damn,
you gonna make me? You make the same, tell me
too many.
Speaker 3 (14:56):
The mics are off? Tell me dog no, no, the
mics are sucking. You're gonna hate me. Nah.
Speaker 4 (15:04):
Yeah, that's that crazy though.
Speaker 3 (15:05):
Like yeah, like fans, they they want to know more, right,
they want to know more, and sometimes it's best that
they don't know everything.
Speaker 1 (15:12):
Yeah, they want to know what kind of underway you wear?
They want to that's crazy and.
Speaker 3 (15:16):
They want in man, DJ Leslie, what's going on?
Speaker 1 (15:19):
Less? Congrats on the new album. What's like your ideal
studio session set up? Like, is there are there any
necessities that you have to have in the studio. It
always changes, Like I feel like the last few years
it would just be me and just my engineer and
then you know, sometimes we'll do the sessions where like
you know, some girls come by and we test the songs.
But now since I went to Toronto, I just like
(15:42):
being in the studio with my boys, you know, and
just staying there for a long time, like get there
like four pm, stay till like four or five in
the morning, just do everything there, you know, whether we're
just playing dominos, whether we're making beats, just cracking jokes.
It's just like more like hanging on the block. And
then when I want to record, I just record.
Speaker 5 (15:58):
So your schedule is like a two you have the
six am.
Speaker 1 (16:02):
Yeah pretty much, Yeah, pretty much.
Speaker 3 (16:05):
Not bad. Great benefits in one sense, and look look
at the spoils that comes with you know that.
Speaker 1 (16:13):
Schedule, right, Yeah, but it's cool. But the sacrifice to
the sacrifice.
Speaker 3 (16:18):
There is sacrifice, of course, Yeah, now you got I mean,
I think it's you can't skip the sacrifice. That's crazy,
you know, you can't skip the sacrifice.
Speaker 1 (16:25):
There's no story. You still have a bad day in
a Rolls voice. Man, Yeah, Man, I want a bad
day in a voice. It's better than a bad day
in the Honda show. But still it could be bad.
It can be bad, although a bad day in the
Toyota's not bad. Dog. That ship I used to ava Toyota.
This was those baddings are rough. Car punch the car,
(16:46):
the car Corolla like I want to see, like a
two thousand oh dog. And it was like that, the
ugliest beige, like Grandma color.
Speaker 3 (16:54):
I don't care.
Speaker 4 (16:55):
I bet you that color. That car is still running
to this day.
Speaker 1 (16:58):
No, it's not the worst one I had was a
Chevrolet Alumina. You gotta look that ship up. That car
was just embarrassing. It's like a couch in the back
back seat. It just feels like a couch.
Speaker 5 (17:11):
Speaking of cars, you said once that Birkins and Ultimus
don't match. What else doesn't match?
Speaker 1 (17:18):
Ship? Ah? Uh? Fake designer clothes with U supposedly real jury.
It's all fake.
Speaker 4 (17:31):
I mean, Nico doesn't mind wearing like you know, some
some duke nikes.
Speaker 1 (17:35):
Hey.
Speaker 2 (17:35):
No, look, I went to the Philippines once and I
got some some knockoff Travis Scott's full like under sixty bucks.
Speaker 1 (17:40):
I was past though, past pants. Who's who's rocking them?
I want? One day? The other day my boy Bucks
needed a plain T shirt, so we went to with
a Tsarro right like fuck it, I'm gonna walking Zarrow,
which we were in Thailand and I'm in t sorrow
and I'm looking at ship like damn, I put these
boots on. People don't think they put this. I don't
think that you're wearing. It's crazy. Yeah, And like I said,
(18:02):
you could have the most realist Rolex, but if you
got a shitty car or you're not somebody, they're gonna

Speaker 2 (24:46):

Speaker 3 (24:47):
I know, but I heard that if you know money
buys happiness, right, that be when you give it away.
Speaker 1 (24:57):
I mean, you give it away. It feels good unless
you like cheap. Yeah, definitely doing stuff for people. It
brought me way more joy than just buying myself something,
because it's like, how how do I feel going around
my friends back home and then don't got much whatever?
And I'm the only one with the change. I'm the
only one to watch. I'm the only one design on
(25:17):
you look at my friends. All of them got to roll,
all of them got to bust down, all of them
got changed. Yes, oh yeah, yes. When I bout one,
I bout four, about one, about three, like yeah, when
I bought my demons backed by Angel's name, my boy
came up with the name. I bout him one too. Wow,
because he came up with the name. He did it
after his He did it for his mom that passed away.
It was like a deep meanings. I'm like, yeah, I
(25:38):
gotta give you that. That's right, that's right.
Speaker 3 (25:40):
I'm sure you have financial people in your life saying,
now what are we doing?
Speaker 1 (25:43):
We'll stop? Yeah, for sure, But thank god we bounced
back a lot of times.
Speaker 4 (25:47):
You know, we don't run it back up.
Speaker 1 (25:51):
Bro Jo, Yeah, you define have a speaking of giving
away money.
Speaker 2 (25:55):
We've actually had this topic on the show for the
past couple of days. What are your thoughts about, Like,
here's the question. Should the servers tips solely be based
on their service?
Speaker 1 (26:08):
Mm hmm It depends what a wrestaurant you talking about.
Some of them be adding gratuity to the bill. That's crazy, right,
Like yo, yeah, obviously, like they rude and ship, you
know what I mean, Like why would I want to
give a tip? But me in general, like I feel
like every waiter don't really be knowing who I am,
and they judge a book by its cover and they
might think like I'm like the way I'm dressing someone
like a ghetto. Some I don't know. I don't really
(26:30):
be jewelry. When I got to Easto, I don't know
if they know who I am and this and that.
So I just always trying to prove them wrong type shit,
like you're probably not expecting the tip from me, so
I'm to be extra. No, I've done that, but like
changing there it is crazy, but it's like no, like
I'll probably think I'm a cheap Indian or something.
Speaker 3 (26:45):
We get Mexican or the Mexican five, no matter how
much to build with Brown Boys, tell you Brown Boys
Doggie my real dad, not George Lowan's my real dad
used to tip fifty sads dog like Yo, no matter
how much the bill was, I'm like, yo, God, sometimes
people take it back.
Speaker 4 (27:04):
It's crazy.
Speaker 1 (27:05):
Yeah, but I out here, the restaurants that I go to,
the service is generally really good, so it's easy to like,
give me too.
Speaker 4 (27:10):
That's right, Yo. Why decide to put pain away at
the end of the album.
Speaker 1 (27:17):
I don't know, probably one of my least favorite songs. Really, yeah,
I gotta have a least favorite. But like everybody was,
if you asked me, what's the least faverite long album,
I'm gonna say one. Remember, it's like my album, the
track is question, the track is ain't all just me.
A lot of it is like you know the team,
what they think when we play for everybody, because you know,
(27:38):
my team loves me, they really care about me, so
I know that opinion is real. And then there's times
like we went to like Universal Canada and I'll never
forget I played all the songs that I liked from
the album and they're like still like but we need
some like radio type, like some goods like Kelsey who
works with me. Right, she was like, play the pay Away,
pay Away, And we played that one. They're like, oh yeah,
(27:58):
this is I was like, wow, play y'all unlimited all
kinds of I'm like, yeah, there's just certain crowds is
they pick up on like more simple lyrics and stuff, so.
Speaker 4 (28:08):
You trust, Yeah, you trust their word obviously, right.
Speaker 1 (28:11):
But all those songs when I know when I recorded them,
I felt I like them. So I just try to
hold onto that feeling because over time you keep listening
to it, you're not gonna like it.
Speaker 3 (28:18):
Yeah, of course. Of course, then it just starts to
sound all the same, and then you find certain things
in it that you want or that are going to
drive you crazy. But I thought pain Away was it
because it was a slower song, and it was kind
of like the curtain Call, you know what I mean.
Speaker 1 (28:31):
I mean, they're supposed to be at least one more
song on them, but we didn't make the cut because
clearance issues. You know, Oh ship a sample something like that? Yeah,
damn it? Who was it?
Speaker 3 (28:42):
Tell me who? We'll have more? Now we've we had
a shower conversation here a few years ago.
Speaker 1 (28:52):
Pause pause, I.
Speaker 3 (28:54):
Don't know we didn't take a shower. We had a
conversation shower. Let me ask you this, after how many
years should you throw out your pillow?
Speaker 1 (29:03):
Your whole entire pillow? Yeah?
Speaker 4 (29:05):
Man, before you answer, I have a seventeen year old pillow.
Speaker 1 (29:11):
Damn, that's nasty. It's like a good luck fillo or
something good dreams on it.
Speaker 4 (29:17):
That's my baby dog.
Speaker 1 (29:20):
I got so many pillows in the crib that I
don't know where they are at. And I'm like really
like a trend person with like buying stuff for the crib.
So like, there's this new pillow, you know, the one
that has a dip in it, So I have that.
So I was like, it's like Brandon, you don't have
like a pillow from home. No, yes, you do from home.
Those pillows are stiff pillows, got bad. Look, I still
(29:45):
have stiff pillow money, right, ship. I think I think
the healthy as I don't know the life span. I
don't know how long I've had these pillows. There's a
lot of them, but I think the healthy thing is
like six months to a year, right, because then it
gets all those dead skin and like, well you wash it,
it's not I wash it. Yeah, I feel like I'll
be breaking on when I sleep on dirty you do.
Speaker 4 (30:06):
But new pillowcase.
Speaker 3 (30:07):
It's not like I like a raw dog and the
pillow doggy like there's a pillowcase on it.
Speaker 1 (30:12):
Then I guess it's all right. As long as the
pillow like young pillowcases.
Speaker 4 (30:15):
You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1 (30:16):
From Macy's dog holding onto that thing?
Speaker 4 (30:19):
