[00:12:57] Speaker C: Yeah, he got a lot of input on his. This on his part. You know what I'm saying? So he's really talented. I think people don't understand how talented he is because of all the antics and all the Instagram or, you know, social media stuff, but he's very talented. He knows what he's doing. He don't. He not. There's nobody, like, just. And if it is somebody schooling him, he listens.
[00:13:18] Speaker A: He. He does.
[00:13:18] Speaker C: He's a student and.
And a. And. And a master. At the end of the day, he.
[00:13:24] Speaker A: He locked in.
[00:13:25] Speaker C: I like when he. He's so locked in and so.
So tapped into the music. Like, he knows everybody's part from all. From all the songs. It's like he was in jail just memorizing everybody's song, you know what I'm saying? And he'll sprinkle your verse in his, and then he'll. But he'll remix it.
[00:13:43] Speaker A: Yeah.

[00:17:18] Speaker B: I said you had me while I was listening to it. You made me look pull down the sun visor out to look at myself.
Nah. This little self reflection like did that nigga start fucking the home girl?
Did I damn. Did the N start my sister like shoot it make you just kind of like, damn. Cause imagine, just imagine.
[00:17:41] Speaker C: But that's what you want to do with art, you know, you want to make them think, make them want to drift offense. You know what I mean?
Reflect.
[00:17:47] Speaker B: But imagine if you heard like and that's why your daddy dig better than yours.
[00:17:51] Speaker A: Damn, that's wild.
[00:17:52] Speaker B: You know what I'm saying?
[00:17:53] Speaker C: But men don't be tripping on shit like that.

[00:18:16] Speaker C: He on the turmoil right now. That's cool. I ain't even want to miss it.
[00:18:19] Speaker A: Yeah, it's all good.
I want to talk about some. The other the important messaging I took from the record by myself. Right? I think it's called by myself. Yeah, by myself.
And you talking about I ain't get here by myself, I ain't gonna spend it by myself, stuff like that, right? Whereas most people like to say I'm self made, I did everything on my own and all that kind of shit. Why you think it's important for people to know that part?
[00:18:43] Speaker C: That's camaraderie. Like how like what part of that.
[00:18:50] Speaker A: Song were you talking About I ain't get here by myself. Yeah, like you letting it be known. Like, I ain't. I'm not.
[00:18:56] Speaker C: I'm not me per se. Or do you. Or just you. The entire.
[00:19:01] Speaker A: The entity.
[00:19:03] Speaker C: Like with me personally. I got a team, man. I ain't without my team, bro.
I'm great. I'm a star, I'm a superstar.
But I wouldn't be that without my team, you know what I mean? At all. Every time, every chance I get, I want my team to know that I'm rooting for them too.
You know what I'm saying? Every. Every point I score, every or every assist I get, you know what I'm saying? It's about the team that's just real and you want to build that in the kids.
[00:19:31] Speaker A: How do you think about people who.
[00:19:33] Speaker C: Say that they feel that? Huh?
[00:19:35] Speaker A: What do you think about people when they say they self made, but they do have a team, they do have people.
[00:19:39] Speaker C: I think it sound better. I think it feel better, it feel better. I think it's self worth. You. You know, it's just like all that is art. All that is just, you know, pumping, like instilling like empowerment into the people. All that. When you say self made. Well, I'm self made. When you reach. When you reciting a song, you're not gonna say you self made. You reciting like, yeah, I'm self made. And you just pump it pumps you up. I think it's just motivation.
[00:20:08] Speaker A: Motivation.
[00:20:09] Speaker C: Yeah.
[00:20:11] Speaker B: So I was driving down Cahuenga and I was listening to the project and then I got to the track. That's a cool street.
[00:20:18] Speaker C: That's a cool street. That's a cool street.
[00:20:20] Speaker B: Coanga.
[00:20:21] Speaker C: Yes. Which part of Kawanga though?
[00:20:23] Speaker A: Like, he want to know details.
[00:20:25] Speaker B: The one outside.
[00:20:28] Speaker C: Okay. All right.
Forgot you high.
[00:20:35] Speaker A: Bro. You can't. You gotta stop asking her questions.
[00:20:37] Speaker C: Yeah, just letting her cook.
[00:20:39] Speaker B: I was del Cue wanga and I was listening to the tape and then the song with Dom came on and I'm like, oh, shit. Because, you know, Dance with me, girl. That's a fan favorite right there.
Yeah, we love when that one come on.
[00:20:55] Speaker C: So.
[00:20:56] Speaker B: But I'm like, oh, shit. The mood different. Like, this a different mood. This a different rj. Dom collab. Then the beat change fire.
If I wasn't driving, I would have stood up in my seat. I said, this n. Got another one.
[00:21:12] Speaker C: Yeah.
[00:21:13] Speaker B: So like, what. What was the thought process behind the two beats on one track?
[00:21:18] Speaker C: Oh, man. It's just, you know, get in there and be creative. You Know, you just be, like, around, like, is this going honestly? The real. The real truth is I was mixing my tape. We was mixing the tape at Ali. It was just there for, like, way too many hours. And Don was at the studio down the street waiting, like, for, like. Cause I'm trying to get him on a. On the tape. And this was his only day, you know what I'm saying? So they get, Boom. I slid. And when I got there, the was damn near done. So when it was done, I said, I can't let you do that. Yeah. Boom. And I saw. I said, let me just get creative. And, you know I'm saying, flip it. And it just worked out honestly. That's just the real truth. You feel me? I could make up some elaborate story, but that's just the real truth. I was really, like, over there with Ali, at least. Mixing down, baby. We in there locked in, like, damn. Okay. For sure. You know what I'm saying? Then hours, like, it was like, two hours. And he, like, right there at Mike and Key.
So we just slid down there. I originally wanted him to get on other. I think we did two beats, honestly. But you know what I'm saying? I just cooked that one up because I'm real quick on it, like, with creativity. I'm like, yeah, I know. I know what to do with this. Because I don't think that alone was powerful enough for me and him.
That's just my honest opinion. I don't think just that beat alone was just powerful enough for just me and Dom. Yeah, that's a Dom record.
[00:22:44] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:22:45] Speaker C: You understand? Yeah. And that's cool. That's.
[00:22:47] Speaker B: Especially with what y' all have already given us.
[00:22:49] Speaker C: Yeah. You know what I'm saying? So I'm like, all right, for sure. I know what the people want. Yeah. All right. So let me give them what the people. All right. Boom. Let me do this, huh? Boom. And he heard it. He was like, oh, you came up in here. You had an agenda, huh?
Yeah.
We called you that day.
[00:23:06] Speaker B: Oh, that was okay. And then I heard my voice on, like, track 10.
Yeah, it's on that one. It's on that one. At the end of it, I was like, okay. I didn't think I was gonna make it.
[00:23:14] Speaker C: Yeah, for sure. We have to put Gina views on there.
[00:23:17] Speaker A: The two for one.

[00:24:35] Speaker C: Anyway, I wanted that sort of come from the heart, though, you know, I did too. Yeah.
[00:24:40] Speaker A: But congratulations on that. But also, since one year had passed, like, I know you did the article and not. But for the listeners on the radio and whatnot. Did you have any moment that you. That stood out to you having been able to reflect a year ago from the pop out, like, does anything now stand out differently than before?

You taking relationships serious, repairing relationships, curating healthy relationships, and also being a father.
And you have intention behind that. What? What? What had to shift in your mind to want to dive into that and take that serious?
[00:32:41] Speaker C: Oh, I want to say this without him. I can't really even say it without. Because, like, I was a fuck up.

I'll be having, like, you know, should I be having talks with God, bro? I should be like, yeah, you know what it. You know, what is it like?
You know, what do I have to do? What kind of sacrifices I have to make? And then they. Your sacrifices don't even become sacrifices. That they just be like human shit, you know what I mean? Like some shit that we be doing as artists, we just be wilding the fuck out because it's like we can.
And it's like. Not only that, though, I want to talk about this.
Our upbringing, all while we growing up as niggas and trying to be an artist.
Ain't only thing instilled in us. The most thing that's instilled in us is fuck all the bitches, you know what I'm saying? Yeah, all the hoes. That's what you. That's what we trying to do.
[00:33:53] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:33:53] Speaker C: From high school all the way up. We trying to. All the hoes. So when we get into this position as artists and all the hoes is on you, you gonna try to all the hoes.
[00:34:03] Speaker A: All of them.
[00:34:03] Speaker C: Cuz that's what's instilled in your brain. Right? But me personally, I didn't know that what was instilled in my brain was wrong.
[00:34:11] Speaker A: He had to unlearn it.
[00:34:12] Speaker C: I had to unlearn it myself, you know what I'm saying? But that. But I don't. What everybody else do. That's what they do. I don't give a what you do. You single, you doing your. You going, you know what I'm saying? But me as a man, I'm locked in, you know what I'm saying? I'm locked in. I got my girl and that's who I. That's who I. I'm showing attention to, you feel me? When I got my kids, that's what I'm showing attention to. Let me build my kids up. Let me. Let me try that. My best to be around my kids. If I can't be around my kids, let me try my best to send some money, you know what I'm saying? Let me try my best to be there some kind of way. All right. You know what I'm saying? FaceTime calls and. Yeah, like that.
[00:34:52] Speaker A: That's still showing up, though.
[00:34:55] Speaker C: It is. But to me it ain't. I wish I could be more present.
I wish I could be like, more locked in, you know what I'm saying? And the more I wish I could have more little moments with my kids.
[00:35:07] Speaker A: I respect that, you know what I'm saying?
[00:35:09] Speaker C: But I'm just. I'm not done yet.
[00:35:13] Speaker A: I feel you.
[00:35:13] Speaker C: You know what I'm saying?
[00:35:14] Speaker A: The other thing too, that you just said is like, focusing on Gina views. And I went to your show, crazy show at. Was it the Palladium?
And you walked out. You did a walk out through the crowd.
[00:35:27] Speaker C: Yeah.

[00:35:43] Speaker C: Yeah.
[00:35:43] Speaker A: I felt like that was like the shift when I saw you do that show. Cause it was more. You were more calm. It seemed like you had rehearsed.
[00:35:50] Speaker C: Yeah.
[00:35:50] Speaker A: It didn't seem like you was up there freestyling at all.
[00:35:52] Speaker C: Yeah.
