A lot of girls told me I had rest in bitch face, and I rebuke that in the name of Jesus.
[00:00:24] Speaker C: Nah, that's crazy.
[00:00:25] Speaker A: But I. I always look the same. Whether I'm happy or I'm sad or I'm mad or whatever.
Every time I see you, you got the same look on your face.
And your record could be going crazy or you could not have a record. Same look.
[00:00:39] Speaker C: Same look.
[00:00:40] Speaker A: What is that? Where does that come from? Do you do that intentionally or is just the way your face is set up?
[00:00:45] Speaker C: I've been like that since a kid, man. My auntie, she called it the Domane.
[00:00:50] Speaker A: Face, the Domani face.
[00:00:51] Speaker C: I'm telling you, it's just been like that in a picture.

[00:01:11] Speaker B: Do you get people coming up to you? Because I have the same issue. Do you get people coming up to you, like, smile. Why you look so angry? Yeah, I'm happy.
[00:01:19] Speaker C: Absolutely. And yeah, that's what I say. I say I'm good, though. I'm enjoying myself.
[00:01:25] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:01:26] Speaker C: And then I smiled in, but then I was like, now you smiling.
[00:01:29] Speaker A: When's the last time you, like, die laughing?
[00:01:32] Speaker C: Die laughing, man? See, that's crazy. Saying that is making me feel like I don't be laughing, but I be laughing, man, if I see something funny.
Probably in the gym. I was in the gym this morning, probably laughing.
[00:01:44] Speaker A: You laugh in the gym?
[00:01:45] Speaker C: Yeah.
[00:01:46] Speaker A: Oh, you a real sicko. Who laughs in the gym. I mean, what's funny in the gym?
[00:01:50] Speaker C: Just conversation. We just talking and then shoot. Yeah, laugh.
[00:01:54] Speaker A: Got you.
[00:01:55] Speaker B: I laughed at a funeral.
[00:01:57] Speaker A: Yeah, that's true.
[00:01:58] Speaker C: That's actually good. Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's good.
[00:02:00] Speaker B: Crack up laughing, though.
Funeral quiet.
[00:02:03] Speaker C: Oh, it was quiet.
[00:02:04] Speaker A: Oh, it was quiet.
[00:02:05] Speaker B: You know when you sit next to them cousins.
[00:02:07] Speaker A: Nah, you out of pocket for that.
[00:02:08] Speaker B: Y' all don't got cousins. That's just out of pocket.
[00:02:10] Speaker C: When y' all get together, they never serious.
[00:02:12] Speaker B: Yeah, yeah, yeah, for sure I do.
[00:02:15] Speaker A: That's crazy. But, man, you back out here, you moving around, you putting out music and whatnot. I see you outside a lot, right? I mean, you be around, but, like, when you active, that's when I kind of see you moving around, right? Do you stay away? Like, you stay out of the way intentionally? Like, is that something that you do intend, like, on purpose?
[00:02:34] Speaker C: It's not like, it's not a planned out thing. Like, I'm like, I'm not finna come out until I'm dropping. It's not nothing like that. I really just beat him out. I go to the studio, I go to the studio.
I say that twice now. I go to the gym and I go home.
[00:02:51] Speaker A: I thought you was rapping.
[00:02:52] Speaker C: Nah, nah, I just go that often. I guess I'm just planning out my day. I go in the morning, I go at night, but that's it. And I just be in a crib.
[00:03:01] Speaker B: How do you stay motivated being that you. You know, a lot of people that like, work, work, work, work, work, the motivation comes from them just being hungry because they want to change their situation.
But you kind of come from a household with two legends, right? Where does the motivation come from?
[00:03:17] Speaker C: I really just love music.
I love music and I will say I always love trying to see how far I could take something that's with anything I used to do.
My family got stories for days. I just try to take something as far as I can. And music has always been that one thing I stuck to.
And I always wanted to see, how can I get better? Where can I take it?
Can this stage get bigger? You know what I mean? Can these just et cetera, et cetera?
So it's always been a challenge, and I enjoy accepting the challenges.
[00:03:54] Speaker B: Was music always the goal? Like, even like growing up in high school and everything?
[00:03:58] Speaker C: Absolutely. I ran into a friend that I went to fourth grade with, and she reminded me, I didn't even remember this. She said we had to dress up like career day in fourth grade.
She said, I came to school with a chain. I had a microphone.
[00:04:16] Speaker A: The rapper starter kit.
[00:04:17] Speaker C: The rapper starter kit. And I said, dang, I did that. So I always knew I wanted to be an artist for sure.
[00:04:23] Speaker A: Did you? Whose chain was it? It was your dad's or your mom's?
[00:04:25] Speaker C: It was my chain that I got at the mall. It was.
[00:04:29] Speaker A: Wait, what kind? Was it fake?
[00:04:30] Speaker C: Yeah. It wasn't real.
[00:04:31] Speaker A: Oh, you can't do that, bro.
[00:04:32] Speaker B: He was a kid.
[00:04:33] Speaker C: I was a kid.
[00:04:33] Speaker B: I was nine years old.
[00:04:34] Speaker C: I'm in fourth grade now. My dad didn't know I had that chain.
[00:04:37] Speaker A: Oh, okay.
[00:04:37] Speaker C: I'm about to say that's what you was saying. I can't do that. Yeah, no, I didn't, I didn't. He wouldn't have let me do it.
[00:04:41] Speaker A: That's what I'm saying.
I know him.
[00:04:43] Speaker B: You was, like, getting sneaking.
[00:04:45] Speaker C: He probably was locked.
[00:04:46] Speaker B: It's like when Keith put on the.
[00:04:48] Speaker C: Outfit, he probably was locked up. But if he knew about that chain, he would have said, nah, son, son.
[00:04:53] Speaker B: You got us looking crazy.
[00:04:54] Speaker A: Popping the deal. I'm out here. Sorry. Why change the shit.
[00:04:59] Speaker C: No, that sound crazy, but look at you laughing. I'm laughing. You know what I'm saying?
[00:05:04] Speaker A: I'm happy.
[00:05:05] Speaker C: I'd be having a good time.
But then. All right, so transitioning from a laugh to regular.
Like, you seen Kanye do that jump? I be doing that sometimes, too.
[00:05:16] Speaker A: So in your mind, what's happening? Like, it's like, all right, the laugh is over and you just turn the TV off or you.
[00:05:23] Speaker C: I ain't got that transition down pack yet. That's all I'm saying. Like, if. I don't know, like, if I'm taking pictures, too, and I go from smile to boom.
[00:05:33] Speaker A: You know what I noticed about people like that? Charlamagne does this too. He only smile in pictures with women.
He take a picture with me, it be. He tough. He take a picture with Gina. He like, all teeth. I'm like, hey, my nigga.
[00:05:45] Speaker B: Like, they say that when you with Elliot and Jeremy, you don't have fun. And when you be over here, it's all teeth.
[00:05:51] Speaker A: Well, I have fun with you.
[00:05:53] Speaker B: Okay.
[00:05:54] Speaker A: You know what I'm saying? Elliot and Jerry, I mean, I have fun with them too. You don't. It be like, I don't know anyway.
Okay, so this ain't about me, right?
[00:06:04] Speaker B: Turn into a DJ head interview.
When you were in school, what did the students treat you like?
[00:06:12] Speaker C: Yeah, I had fun in school, and I really grew up with all my peers. So from fourth grade on, I always had all my friends.
Before fourth grade, I was moving around, and I went to different schools every time my dad would come pick me up.
That's when it was a thing.
It's like, all right, now we had another school. Then it start over and we had another school. But now when I got to fourth grade, I stayed with the same. With the same peers all the way up to high school and graduation.
[00:06:42] Speaker B: What grade are you in when y' all had the reality show?
[00:06:47] Speaker C: Fourth grade.
Yeah, it Was fourth grade. Fourth going into fifth grade for me.
[00:06:52] Speaker B: Did they treat you like the kid on tv? Like you're the kid on tv?
[00:06:57] Speaker C: Maybe at first. Maybe at first. But, you know. Yeah. So coming to school after the episode, coming to school, they would talk about it, like, yeah, I seen you do that and do that and woo do. Whoo. How was like, we'll talk about it.
[00:07:11] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:07:12] Speaker C: But I didn't feel like they was treating me different. They probably was, though.
[00:07:15] Speaker B: How many of your peers was coming up to you singing them lyrics, if it ain't about the money?
[00:07:20] Speaker C: Yeah.
Yeah. I still get that to this day.
[00:07:23] Speaker B: That has to be annoying.
[00:07:25] Speaker C: Nah, not annoying. Not annoying. It's just. I know what you about to say. You know what I'm saying? Then I gotta laugh, you know, Then.
[00:07:32] Speaker A: I have to laugh.
[00:07:32] Speaker C: Yeah. I insert my laugh there.
Cause if I don't, it's like, you.
[00:07:37] Speaker A: Know, you a asshole, right?
[00:07:39] Speaker C: Yeah, I'mma laugh.
[00:07:42] Speaker B: What was the conversation that you just had with your dad when that song came out? Cause we know he's saying the money, but it do sound like he's saying the money.
[00:07:50] Speaker C: We never talked about it.
[00:07:51] Speaker B: Y' all never talked about it to this day.
[00:07:53] Speaker C: Never talked about it.
[00:07:55] Speaker A: Gotta have that conversation.
[00:07:57] Speaker B: Never know. Dad, look what they saying on Twitter. Nothing.
[00:08:00] Speaker C: Nah, that's actually crazy. We never talked about it. I never asked him.
[00:08:04] Speaker B: You never asked.
[00:08:04] Speaker C: So what? I know.
[00:08:05] Speaker B: What are the lyrics?
[00:08:08] Speaker C: He's talking about money.
[00:08:09] Speaker A: The money.
[00:08:10] Speaker B: The money.
[00:08:10] Speaker C: Yeah. Got you the money.
[00:08:12] Speaker A: See, we got that cleared up.
[00:08:13] Speaker B: But when you hear it, do you hear the money?
[00:08:16] Speaker C: If I want to. If I just need that little ego boost.
[00:08:19] Speaker B: Yeah. That'd be a cold sample.
[00:08:21] Speaker C: That'd be a cold sample. I heard that, actually. Nah, I ain't gonna talk about that.
[00:08:25] Speaker B: What, you got it?
[00:08:26] Speaker C: Nah, not. Somebody said, when I was young, I remixed it and I hope no one ever find it.
[00:08:32] Speaker B: It's bad.
[00:08:33] Speaker A: You did a remix to the song with your name in it?
[00:08:36] Speaker B: Is it out?
[00:08:36] Speaker A: That's some vain shit, bro.
[00:08:38] Speaker C: I hope it ain't.
I think I did put it out around that time.
[00:08:42] Speaker B: How it go? Just tell us how it go.
[00:08:43] Speaker C: I don't know how it goes.
[00:08:45] Speaker A: You know how it go. Don't do that. Just say no. Tell the black woman no. Don't say you don't know how it go.
[00:08:49] Speaker C: I ain't gonna lie to you.
Nah, I don't know how it go. But I probably thought that junk was hot. And I probably said, yeah, we need to drop this.
Hopefully I didn't, but I think it is out.
[00:09:01] Speaker B: It's somewhere. I'm gonna find it. Yeah, it's somewhere on TikTok.
[00:09:04] Speaker A: Do you have. Do you have. Cause I know you just put out the time record, but do you have songs that you are not proud of and they out there right now?
[00:09:14] Speaker C: Yeah.
[00:09:15] Speaker A: So what, what. What's the reason why you don't fuck with it? Is it the same reason? Like, you feel embarrassed or like what is it?
[00:09:23] Speaker C: Yeah, like if that song that I'm talking about, if that's out, I'm gonna probably try to get it removed because that's crazy.
[00:09:30] Speaker A: So if we. If we find it, we put it up on you. Do you get our shit flagged?
[00:09:33] Speaker C: Nah, it's that bad? Nah, I can't do that. Cause if you all mess with it, it's like it's out of my hands to Shay. You know what I'm saying? When I make the music, I wasn't thinking this deep back then, but now I know when I make the music and put it out to the world, whatever they do with it, it's however. You know what I mean? It's forever, you know? So I can't really try to control how they interpret and dissect the music. But I'm gonna try to get it off if I feel.
[00:09:59] Speaker B: It can't be that bad.
[00:10:01] Speaker A: Hey, take that shit down.
[00:10:03] Speaker B: You dropped five eps last year. My favorite is Dear Jane.
[00:10:07] Speaker C: Thank you.
[00:10:08] Speaker B: Out of the five that you release, what's your favorite one?
[00:10:15] Speaker C: I think Dear Jane too.
[00:10:17] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:10:17] Speaker C: I'm gonna say Dear Jane as well.
[00:10:19] Speaker B: Cause that got forever lasting on it. I did not expect. You put me on to D.C. young fly as an artist.
[00:10:24] Speaker C: Really?
[00:10:25] Speaker B: I did not expect. I looked back, I'm like, who the hell is this? Yeah, that shit sounds so good, nigga. Seti Hendrix on it as well, right? Just as a fan, just on some fan shit. Are there any unreleased versions of that song that might have like a remix or another. Another feature on it?
[00:10:41] Speaker C: A remix?
Not as of yet, Nope.
[00:10:47] Speaker B: So it's the remix coming.
[00:10:49] Speaker C: I would love for a remix to come.
[00:10:51] Speaker B: Do you already got the remix and you trying to play. You being selective with your words right now?
[00:10:55] Speaker C: Nah, I wouldn't lie to you.
[00:10:58] Speaker B: She said somebody laughing.
Nah.
[00:11:02] Speaker A: She said you being selective with your words.
I think words are important to rap. Have you ever been criticized from your dad about the words you use in your song? Cause she always talks shit about me and how I talk. Like him, right?
[00:11:15] Speaker C: Absolutely.
[00:11:15] Speaker B: Do he walk around the house talking like that?
[00:11:17] Speaker C: Like what?
[00:11:18] Speaker B: With all like. With the big words.
[00:11:20] Speaker C: If he feeling himself. Yeah.
[00:11:23] Speaker B: You ever been getting in trouble and he done use the word that you don't know?
[00:11:27] Speaker C: Yeah, I wouldn't say that. That. Yeah, that probably has.
[00:11:30] Speaker A: Have he ever used the word with you that you looked up on the spot?
[00:11:34] Speaker C: I'm gonna ask him right there. Cause, like, now you gotta tell me what that word means.
[00:11:37] Speaker B: What you say? I don't even know what that mean. You said that to him before? I don't even know what that mean.
[00:11:42] Speaker C: Yeah. And he'll be glad to tell you what it mean.
[00:11:45] Speaker B: That's nice.
[00:11:46] Speaker C: For sure.
[00:11:46] Speaker A: I remember seeing.
I think. I don't remember if. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I remember seeing a show where he did. He was. You were part. Y' all did a show together and Concert. It was a concert. And is that one of the moments where you, like, trip out, like, damn. Like, I'm really. Because I know you say you wanted to be. Wanting to do music forever, but now you, like, on the same stage as a legend, right? Where I'm pretty sure you look at him like, pop's not a legend. We do. You know what I'm saying? But even at that. Do you look at that like an accomplishment, Even though it's probably nepotism, not liking the.
[00:12:18] Speaker C: Okay, yeah, yeah. I can say accomplishment, but not from the perspective of what most people would think. And I'm glad you brought it up. Cause while you were saying it, I was reliving that moment.
I could say an accomplishment based on.
For years, I was trying to stay away from him. And I didn't want to be on the same stage as him. Not the same song, probably not in the same room as him. Cause I know I'd be behind him. You know what I'm saying? I'd be behind him.
And God dang, that's just not a good feeling. I feel like I can't really.
Can't really be me and get a chance to really have people see me for me. If.
So it was an accomplishment in that aspect.
Like, now I feel like I made it to where they understand the difference. They understand. Like, they understand what it is and what it's not. And it's like, we could be on the same stage. Accomplishment like that. I don't feel like, oh, I made it. Cause Tiff on stage. Nah, this is my dad still, you know? You know?
[00:13:16] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:13:17] Speaker C: So not accomplishment like that.
[00:13:18] Speaker A: He said tip. Do you ever call him tip to piss him off?
[00:13:22] Speaker C: Nah, not to piss him off, but we said it before for sure.
[00:13:26] Speaker A: Just being funny.
[00:13:27] Speaker C: Just being funny. He didn't take it in. No way.
[00:13:29] Speaker A: Oh, okay.
[00:13:29] Speaker C: He cool.
[00:13:30] Speaker A: Did to us.
As far as features go. Like, I see when, like, how you move. Like, I've been paying attention. You're very selective with your features. Are you one of them artists who only fuck with you people that you're a fan of? Or do you, like, are you willing to collaborate with everybody?
[00:13:47] Speaker C: Man, I want to do a lot more features.
And it ain't even that I'm extra selective.
It's.
I don't really be knowing how to really navigate and get that stuff going.
Like, I don't know how to.
[00:14:06] Speaker A: So you shy or timid or you don't.
[00:14:09] Speaker C: I'll say, yo, let's get in, but I don't really know. Some people want to build a relationship.
Some people, you know, you got to nurture those relationships. I don't really know how to do that.
[00:14:19] Speaker A: So you don't want to do that shit. You just want to, hey, I need a verse.
[00:14:23] Speaker C: Not even that. I need a verse. Like, yo, we could get in. Let's see what we.
[00:14:26] Speaker A: Let's get in and cook together, right? So let's collaborate, right? So just say that. Don't say, let's get in. Because people aren't really bright. You know what I'm saying? So be like, let's collaborate on a record.
[00:14:36] Speaker C: They know what that means. But if I say, don't you think they don't?
[00:14:40] Speaker A: People are stupid, Domani.
[00:14:42] Speaker C: So they say. I say it again.
What you mean?
[00:14:45] Speaker A: Yes. Because people always tell me, let's build.
You want to get some Legos? What the fuck you want to do?
[00:14:50] Speaker C: I get what you're saying, but no, it ain't like that.
[00:14:52] Speaker B: I would start using nepotism at that point, though.
[00:14:54] Speaker C: Yeah, yeah.
[00:14:56] Speaker A: You know what? You know what's going on if you tell me. No, nigga, you know.
[00:15:00] Speaker B: You know, can I put in a request for that remix?
[00:15:03] Speaker C: Who you got in mind? I would love to hear what you got?
[00:15:05] Speaker B: Wale.
[00:15:06] Speaker C: Ooh, I did not think of Wale. That's a good one.
[00:15:10] Speaker B: Fabulous.
[00:15:11] Speaker C: Okay.
[00:15:12] Speaker B: West side Boogie or Gunna.
[00:15:15] Speaker C: You know, west side Boogie, of course. Yeah, I would love to get west side Boogie.
[00:15:20] Speaker B: He'll call him.
[00:15:22] Speaker A: Yeah, you want it on the show?
[00:15:24] Speaker C: If he want to get on it. Yeah.
[00:15:26] Speaker A: God damn it, Domani.
[00:15:27] Speaker C: Okay, so I guess I answered your question. So you just fucked it up.
[00:15:31] Speaker A: Say. Say yes.
[00:15:31] Speaker C: Yeah, I do.
[00:15:32] Speaker A: Okay.
[00:15:33] Speaker C: All right, so this is what it mean. If he don't want to get on it, I don't want you on it either.
[00:15:37] Speaker A: No, that's Ego Domani.
[00:15:39] Speaker C: No, because I feel like you cried. No, I feel like I'm a hear that you didn't want to do it. You know what I'm saying? I feel like if you do want to do it, it'll sound like, yo, you killed that. Like, you know what?
[00:15:50] Speaker A: I'm all right. So, look, this what I'm gonna do.
Let me call him.
[00:15:55] Speaker B: His phone be on dnd.
It ain't gonna dmd while he calling back to the. What you had. You just mentioned being on stage with your pops.
[00:16:03] Speaker C: Yeah.
[00:16:03] Speaker B: Have you ever had a situation where, like, was there a specific moment where you said, I need to kind of create my own identity?
[00:16:11] Speaker C: Yeah. I mean, getting off the show, off the reality show, that was a big step in me basically saying that, yo, I need to get off of this in order for me to really establish who I want to be presented as. You know, I mean, like, the light that I want to be shown as. Do I want to be Tip's son, T.I. and tiny son, or do I want to get a chance to really have them folks see me as being Damani?
So I felt like I had to really get off of that. That was a big step for me.
[00:16:41] Speaker B: Damani's your government name?
[00:16:43] Speaker C: Yeah.
[00:16:44] Speaker B: Did you come up with any other rap names ever? What was the first one? I know Damani is not one.
[00:16:48] Speaker A: He probably would have a song that he don't want hours under.
[00:16:51] Speaker C: Nah.
[00:16:52] Speaker B: If it was D Money, you could tell us.
[00:16:54] Speaker C: Nah, it was.
You know what? Someone else gave me Money Man.
[00:16:59] Speaker A: Dumb Money.

[00:20:10] Speaker C: They do it, too.
[00:20:13] Speaker A: I know we gotta rap, but the Last thing I wanted to ask you is, oh, do you ever get, like, how I know you get the J. Cole comparison? I've seen that before.
Do you. Are you.
Are you a fan of that, or do you look at it and take that as offensively? Cause you. I ain't gonna lie on the time record, bro. If not knowing you, you would think that's cold until it got to the verse.
Do you take that as a compliment or you take that as disrespect?
[00:20:38] Speaker C: Nah, I don't take it unless it's like, you know what's disrespectful?
[00:20:43] Speaker A: The intention.
[00:20:44] Speaker C: Yeah. The intention behind it. But, nah, if someone's saying, like, what he sound like or describing what kind of music he make. You know what I mean? That makes sense. That's just like describing some food. That junk tastes like a freaking lasagna with a whoop de whoops. Yeah, you describing it to someone, but if someone say, hey, man, you trying to be. You trying to be that? Or, why don't you be yourself? Or something like that. All right, you know, so you.
[00:21:10] Speaker A: So that's when it becomes offensive.
[00:21:13] Speaker C: That's when it's like you're basically saying, I'm trying to be something that I'm not too sure. So, yeah, I feel that.
[00:21:23] Speaker A: Okay, she got a card game, and she gonna hit you with a couple of them real quick.

[00:24:49] Speaker C: You don't got nothing, so it ain't.
[00:24:51] Speaker A: Nothing in your phone.
[00:24:53] Speaker C: This junk look like a new phone.
Spit a freestyle or let the person next to you search your phone with the word swallow.
Trying to think of my phone.
[00:25:06] Speaker A: So she wants. She. She either wants you to spit some.
[00:25:09] Speaker B: Bars or you can let me go through your phone.

[00:25:24] Speaker A: Hey. That's how she got Sway fucked up on the radio, bro.
[00:25:27] Speaker C: For real.
[00:25:28] Speaker A: I didn't even wanna know Sway like that. She searched the word swallow.
[00:25:31] Speaker B: Sway got some shit in here.
[00:25:32] Speaker A: Sway has some shit in his phone.
[00:25:34] Speaker C: Sway. Unc. Sway.
[00:25:35] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:25:36] Speaker C: Sway.
[00:25:37] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:25:38] Speaker B: Hey, Unc, we didn't talk about water. Boys, before you go.
[00:25:42] Speaker C: Okay.
[00:25:43] Speaker B: How did you even get into. Cause that was your first role, right?
[00:25:46] Speaker C: Yeah, that was my first film.
[00:25:48] Speaker B: How did you prepare for that?
[00:25:51] Speaker C: How did I prepare? Just remember. Cause I used to take acting classes. And then I just brushed up back. Just getting back in that mode and just building the history of that character in my head. Because, you know, as real people, the way we move, act, and the way we just carry ourselves is based on our past and, like, what we went through and experienced. So just building that history, you know, fake history of that character. That way every nuance, every movement comes from a place. You know what I'm saying? Just thinking of that.
[00:26:27] Speaker B: Any future roles?
[00:26:28] Speaker C: Yeah. I love acting.
[00:26:30] Speaker B: We gonna see you in power.
[00:26:32] Speaker C: I'm not reaching out, bro.

[00:26:39] Speaker A: God damn. Don't mind my apologies. Are you open to being in the Power universe?
[00:26:45] Speaker C: Yeah.
[00:26:46] Speaker A: There you go. Now that's. That's. That's an open energy.
[00:26:49] Speaker B: Are you a fan of the show?
[00:26:51] Speaker C: See, now I'm about to mess it up. Cause it's like, I'm a fan, but I don't watch no TV shows.
I haven't watched Power.
[00:26:58] Speaker A: You don't watch no TV at all?
