Thank you for that No doubt that's no script people just to let y'all know I do not read from his crib And I have not said sent T easy as script for the night so everything you're talking about tonight Strictly Jay Z in the booth man. We all writing down shot them was let's get a man listen It is not easy being a black man in America every day you walk out door you could be killed not from no choice of your own This the the criminal the criminal justice system works against you. You know that we live in a world That's very demonic and satanic and even the greatest people are the most abused and hurt as a black man And as a recorder artist as a black man. How do you give us give us your insights on on how you view the world and most importantly how do you adjust as being an artist in this world as being a black artist? I mean what you just said is an absolute fact man It is it's the world we live in as a black man to sad to say that Every time we walk out the house to like a target on our back and we don't know That we want to make it back to put them keys back in that door to make it back home It's safe and sounding in one piece what I could say how I live I put God first and I just move like that man God's child trying to do God's work on God's earth and I just move like that man Teflar is fake that you your background is is in New York City, right? That's a fact crown hikes Brooklyn, New York, it born and raised Brooklyn you know the issue of Brooklyn and hip hop you know the history of New York and hip hop Shouda DJ cool hurt where hip hop was created in New York City shouda DJ cool hurt. Yeah Yeah, a lot of people don't know DJ cool hurt H.E.R.C. at a house part He started scratching making music in the 70s and there's hip hop in New York City as native a pure native of New York Like what responsibility what type of pressure is it on it as you were that Yankee fitted throughout the city as an old pressure Or I'm most important what's in you feel you got to live up to I feel like like you just saying New York City the birthplace of hip hop I just feel I try not to really think about the pressure and all that I just think the the environment of where I come from New York City It just conditions us New Yorkers to be a certain way and just coming from the environment coming from the car treat You just isn't still than you is it just instilled you so to be I don't sit there and the type of thought is not on my mind I guess it's just embedded inside them and um, I just move like that It's just it's just New York City. I'm born and raised here. I didn't migrate over here I'm born and raised here born and raised here. Brooddale hospital baby. So there's just something that you just come with the territory I guess that's the best way I can explain when you think about Hip hop and it's turning to a nine billion dollar a year business I mean, that's big you know nine billion dollars a year plus hip hop impacts everything for politics to to clothing uh To copy the world the coaches the number one is being the number one music genre for 30 years plus not strong pot country music pop music all influenced by hip hop What type of responsibility do you feel You have to the culture? Because you are part of that. I feel my responsibility is being true to myself and being my most authentic self as I could possibly be To the teeth and um, that's my responsibility being true to myself The people that's into my music and my movement my brand being true to them Staying authentic being transparent and I feel like that's my responsibility Pull my best foot forward every time I step out. I feel like that's my responsibility Let me actually do this and first of all, thank you for that great explanation Because you take your ownership When did the switch flip for you? T easy when you say you know what I'm going from my government name to T easy like when did you really make it official? In the streets just talking about that in the streets and the streets on I can't record a date the time the monster year Kids in the neighborhood just started calling me easy and the tea comes from my first name Tyrell So the tea is so for Tyrell easy kids in the neighborhood I'm from Crown Heights, Brooklyn, New York. They just started calling me easy and they calling me They just calling me easy because calling you easy or easy? Which one you said I kind of heard Oh, I'm sorry. They was calling me easy A Z while they might have been saying a S while but I changed it to a Z while But um, they calling me easy because they they had a character on how they describe my character was chill Lay back just like a small guy I was a kid. I was a this is like this is a childhood So it was just thinking just chill kid lay back kids and it just they were like easy You just you make it look easy like you do things. It's just easy So I just I took in an I ran with it and I my love for hip-hop come from my oldest big brother Um used to work at video music video music bots were Ralph McDaniel shot out the mouth Ralph McDaniel's Legend legend legend legend legend. Yeah legend. Derry. So my brother was um Used to work there and his love for hip-hop just trickled on down to me And I just fell in love with hip-hop and I used to write my brother used to write rhymes He never when it's as even put it out there to the world But he wrote rhymes and my brother in my opinion my brother was nice And I used to take his rhymes and spit them at and and and this is like elementary school And I used to just wrap his wraps Because I would wrap my I was spit my I wrote my own balls And I feel like my balls wasn't getting that much love like me honest You know what I'm saying? So when I wrap his wraps It was like this. I was gonna call me ties before T easy. They're like time. That's fine That's how I say it again say you know, when people want you to repeat it That's a dandy they must like it. So I took that and then I just kind of studied his style and then my brother used to tell me like I wrap like I used to like I used to write rhymes to wrap and then I was wrapping about blowing people love shooting this person Killing that person doing this doing that and my brother's like, all right, that's dope But it's not believable like you only like 10 years 11 years old like I don't believe you especially. I know you so like I really don't believe you So you're like you know just wrap like wrap true to you And keep it so I just took that is I'm a I'm young I ain't even a preteen at this at this point and all my just took that I kept writing kept perfecting my crap. I studied his bars as far as like all right He was set up a punchline and between the second the first second tool bars the third fourth bar be a punchline Or he's witty he used me he broke down the middle four sound with the school So in English language art you learn about metaphors and similes and things and that nature adverts and New Jersey's plan will worsen just becoming a wordsmith and I just stuck at my craft thing We hit today. They easy. What you to be honest about something I'd be honest about everything my brother I like that answer but I respect that less than 5% of people truly actually You know live out their dreams actually really take it to that level of Hey, I'm actually I'm actually baking I'm actually doing living is you know, I'm living what I'm saying You know a lot of people start out But then very few people finish when you think about the degree of difficulty and odds of you saying hey 10 years from now. I'm gonna have that J. Cole status or higher Have you really thought about the risk versus the reward? I can sit on myself with wrist taking people and told me that about myself So as far as like taking into the count or the thought process of the risk versus the reward I feel me just putting my best foot forward putting my foot in my all into it And I think it's power words. So I know I'm a mega superstar. I know I'm a successful entrepreneur I just feel like doing the work is the work is going to speak for itself the results come from the work God to put in the work can't cut out can't you know cutting corners? No getting around it. You know show I mean you could take sure I'm not saying that these things are not available But I feel like putting in the work you're going you're going to get to get to the destination putting no matter how long it take how fast it comes Um as long as you put in the work and just keep your blinds on staying tunnel vision I believe in God. I believe in myself and I think I think that's it That's it and then honestly speaking I hate to say this I will not be hate to say I don't mind saying it But I hate to think this way but even if God forbid I didn't hit that mouse going to hit my number knowing that I put all I put my I mean my all into it Like I did everything I could possibly do and did it to the best of my abilities to the to I laid it all on the table I lay I lay I left everything on the court so to speak on the failed so to speak and I didn't win the championship I could live with that I could live with that and I feel like on the more on the personal level Outside of just the career on the more person. I got too beautiful daughter shut up my baby's time tory I feel like I can still be that that that mold that that that model to my kids to be like Didn't daddy win all out for his regardless of how I played out you win all out for it So I'm going with that man need personally. Let me ask you this I mean obviously, you know, you know, you're part of generations evil like what does what is biggest impact on Brooklyn to this day Right now the biggest impact on Brooklyn Our biggest impact big oh Okay, big oh, I mean for me. I'm speaking for team easy The Tories BRG is my favorite rapper before Jay Z But evidently I would lean more than Jay Z because it's longevity But when they both was alive and breathing or Jay Z still is alive But when biggie was alive biggie was number one. So biggie on for team easy I don't want to speak for other people I think Brooklyn we definitely hold biggie in high regards. He read Brooklyn to the fullest You heard what Jay the kids said do brought the East back. Yeah, I better believe that the West told dad death row had it We gotta be honest. So He on that's from Jay the kids right if Jay the kids living so biggie for me for team easy biggie is definitely The one of the goats and um, he's great. May is greatest story telling greater charisma He just had he just had it I mean it fact that I just think biggie is super duper duper duper duper duper duper Or was super duper duper duper duper duper duper duper god blessed in death yeah No, the reason why accident because you are from Brooklyn and you know biggie from bedstime So, you know already know that whole vibe you know them saying Right now for crown heist Brooklyn the best medicine is our next door neighbor right right soon as you pass So I could walk the best out of the sun from from from Lincoln shout out to my blood Lincoln and Sconnected the end you're the cook no doubt man.

You feel from all of that, bro? Well for me music is just like it's it's a man It's sometimes hard to put in words just because of that passion and that that that that that fire that fuels and that burns the soul But um for for me this is it's it's so many different Could dependent on the record I'm making but every form of fashion is old that reputed I have a wide range of music you can check it The people can check it out at tez.com as te hyphen eaz y.com You can see I got range in my music.
