This podcast, Bidding Wars, is supremely special. And here's why. When we started this podcast, we wanted to give a platform to artists that we felt that were truly, truly dynamic in their sound, in their swag, and just in the overall competitive nature regarding recording music. And we've done that very well. Today, I'm speaking with an artist that truly we have a lot of respect for as a brand. I have a lot of respect for him personally, and we're going to be interviewing him on the Bidding Walls podcast today. I want to make sure that you connect with his brother, follow this young king, and he is truly, truly innovative with his sound. And most importantly, just with his approach to the game, as far as how he looks at music, how he sees it through his own eyes, and most importantly, how he prepares. He has a very meticulous process with this. I'm honored, super honored to have on the Bidding Wars podcast my brother, Money Bezos. Money Bezos, welcome to the podcast. Good luck, brother, man. Appreciate you having me on the podcast. No doubt, man. Listen, man, I want to jump right into it. When you think about hip-hop right now, there's a lot going on. There's always something going on in hip-hop. Give the Bidding Wars audience your viewpoint of what you see as far as the current state of hip-hop from your perspective. Hip-hop, from my perspective, I see it going through like a crazy change. It's just going through a change that way. I mean, hip-hop is never what it was when I was in my years of hip-hop and everything. It's very different now. It started getting that way over the years. and they just get the word. They see, like, the message in music. It's just disturbing the world of the opportunity. You know, I see, like, music is more of a service to the world than what it was supposed to be as far as, like, putting in feeling and good things to people. It always ends up being entertainment. We always knew that ever since TWA, because that's when what's now in the game is started or whatever as far as the violence and all that stuff or whatever. But, like, with TWA or whatever, it was always meant to be entertainment. Like, that part, though, the music, it was never supposed to spill into the music. It was always meant to be as a form of entertainment. Movies, you don't see movies start going right there and killing each other. You don't see... The rap is the only genre that you see where the first guy and it started with two fucking videos where, like, the... I feel like that's where that part of it started, too. The beefing and the bus and all that spilling into the music. I can very spill into it It changed everything So I see music just in a state where it needs a challenge It needs a balance base or whatever I mean, because that is always going to be a whatever Because it's always been there But at the same time, it needs a balance Because it always was a balance Someone had a balance on AWA It was trying to balance on AWA It was done like We're going to bounce out But you don't have that shit You just have it all throughout the game And it needs a balance I'm trying to be a balance for the game Love the way you elocuted your statement there. I want to tap into this part here. Explain how you feel your music fits into today's hip-hop land. To be honest, it don't fit. I mean, I'll be straight, honestly, it don't fit because it's not what. That's where they're from. Yeah, be honest with you. And with what hip-hop is going to, not even going to, what this hip-hop is right now, whatever, just like the messaging. Ain't no messaging. Everybody got money. Everybody, you know. following you know pressure to dance and everything and i want the females i make my music for pacific crown and everything yes it also goes for females but if you dig deep into the catalog you see there's a whole method to it and there's a whole story to it or whatever and then that's what i'm getting into now i've been doing these interviews and everything you know all these podcasts i'd be telling that but yeah it don't fit i mean because it's like what the industry is going to want or whatever and everything my music would disturb it would disturb what they the agenda that they have it would disturb. So I hope it would be I'll make it effective because as they say I'm trying to see that it's reaching or whatever and it's doing what it's supposed to do is just consistent ground or whatever just keep at it or whatever but I see it I see it working. Well first of all thank you for sharing that. Do me a favor break down to the bidding wars audience, just how you approach music. I mean, you don't have to go into your old secret sauce, but kind of break down, like, how do you originate your lyrics? What perspectives do you pull from? What inspirations do you, you know, pull from? I mean, I pull my inspiration, even if I have a beat make me feel in the first 20 seconds or whatever. Like, when I listen to my beats or whatever, I get really like 20 seconds. If I can't feel nothing in that first 20 seconds, then I ain't really rocking with it, because if I get on it, and I feel like I'm forcing something and I won't do it either. Like, it just gotta be a feeling or whatever. I gotta be able to run that song in like about 10, 15 minutes. I can't be on a song for 20, 30 minutes to hear a whole day in a song. I'm not going to have that song written for a second within 15 minutes at the most or whatever, you know, together or whatever. So, but with that or whatever though, it's like, I remember what Jay-Z said and everything because he was saying that he used to have Robson's head all day or whatever, but he would get paper bags or he would have something to write it on. Now when the phone comes in the play or whatever, I would have this day where they got the notepad and the phone. Now, there's something in my head. Well, I have, or I do like still buy notepads or whatever. I mean, just like if something comes in my head or whatever, I don't have to doubt. It ain't even got to be a whole complete song or whatever. It may be an idea or whatever. And I do nothing out there. So the other thing, I have music in my head all day. So that's how I know that I was willing to do this because it's the one in my head. And then I write them down sometimes. I'm off a deal. So yeah, I had good ideas and everything. You know, I ain't got any paper or whatever, or I ain't got any work or whatever. But, you know, even if I'm at the regular style of things or whatever, I'll be like, you know, when I'm in the midst of I got my step in the sky or something like that. I writing or I listening to some music or I getting an idea or whatever So it just it whatever Yeah I do five I do like five songs I've been recording them over the past week, two weeks. I've been recording like music every day. And it's just like, I got tons and tons of music that is, and then I have a two-part work after it or whatever. Like I just basically record and then I go back to it later. It'll just be a run for them and I go back to it later. I'm not going to be so late on, But as long as I got the song together, put together, and vocals in the session, then boom, I'm good. So I do that. So I got tons and tons of shit. Excuse me. I got tons and tons of stuff that's, you know, in the works or whatever. How much? Yeah. Go ahead. Thank you on that. I want to tap into this part here. And before we go further, let's take a small commercial break. people right now we're going to take a small commercial break with this commercial break we are going to highlight we're always supporting independent artists the brother that we're going to do a 30 second snippet of his record is by christian viore c-h-r-i-s-t-i-a-n states v-i-o-r that's c-r-i-s-t-i-a-n last name v-i-o-r you can pull him up on any streaming platforms the name of his record is wavy we're going to tap into it right now it's called wavy We're going to play 30 seconds of it. And if you're feeling it, I want you to connect with my brother on Instagram because this guy is supremely talented. His Instagram handle is the exact same name that I just fed out, Christian Villor.

Part of the viral platform. Shout out to my brother, Christian Villor. Back to our interview with Money Bezos. I want to say that I want to ask you this. I want to go too deep into detail because it's your personal business. But explain how your childhood, you know, growing up, you know, growing up in your childhood, how did that play a role into where you are now? Yeah, my childhood is, I mean, it's crazy or whatever, because I mean, I was always the only childhood of having brothers and sisters and everything. And then my grandmother, she was really like the legal. My grandma was my legal guardian. My grandma was like kind of my mother and everybody. all in one. My mother, she was around and everything, but my mother had, like, not a mental issue, but a disability or whatever, basically. And so basically, she really wasn't too much in the mother world. Yes, she really did everything for me, how to be a certain way that was my grandmother. She started every day, but she kind of in 2001 so like for my childhood it was just basically like you know i was sheltered really i was kept away from the streets and everything like that kind of grew up my grandma in the church every sunday you know so i mean that's why i mean i'm thankful for that because that kind of like played a role into it now i have like it's easy for me to have a connection with god because i understand and then there's certain things that i've been through as an adult too without the legal parties and everything that has shown me that I was so young and she just instilled a good humbleness in me and always be kind kind of type of thing and I'm kind of calm or whatever I'm also be kind of her too because she just always had me in a calm state or whatever so it's like it's well but in 2001 she passed so my brother had a day on that great mercado that, you know, it's all happened to me before it happened to you. You know, I take care of your own ticket and I, you know, that type of thing. But it's all happened to her first. So he had a business and he moved us back to Denizel. And then that's when I really started experiencing like stuff that my brother-in-law had me sheltered from and everything. So, basically, I started experiencing things, I learned things and then I had the, you know, my grandfather, he was, you know, very stern and everything, very great man, very great man or whatever he died in too long but he's a very great man he's the example of if you want to tell somebody to be a great man he is the example of that because he was a deacon in the church, he you know, didn't you know kept it straightforward, you know don't be involved in doing this, don't be involved in doing that you know, at this time it was probably the military when I read that when I got into the military it made it easier because of the way my grandfather read me so when the drill started yelling and everything. Oh, man, I'm used to this, man. My grandfather was doing this type of stuff, you know? So without even intentionally doing that, my grandfather, they got no type of military experience. But as, you know, as of certain times or whatever, in a time that I think needs to come back a way of people raising their children, I mean, I can't say people raising their kids and everything, but just being more stern and being more powerful, but getting that respect for them and everything and letting them know that it's respect here in this world and everything. So, you know, but all of that, you know, kind of just shaped me to the first line. I mean, in the military, I just basically kind of just, you know, but my grandfather and my step-grandfather and my father-grandmother, they was the one who could still have there. But when they left, I had to learn everything on my own because everybody I had to throw a deep and see after they held, everybody didn't give me the time that they gave. Everybody didn't they didn't give me the time to, you know, to take the learning this. So I had to learn everything myself and everything. And I, you know, the military is 23. So with 23, all folks are now, I've really been alone. I mean, my family has been here and there, but, you know, it can't sit here and say, you know, I can say it to me. Got myself through the majority of stuff I've been through, like, you know, as far as, like, real stuff. My family has been there and it played roles, but, you know, but that's really how my childhood up until now, I found those things that started up is what got me to where I'm at. Right down to the Bidding Wars audience, just one, and I know you have several different qualities, but what is one thing about your musical genius that makes you special? Well, it's just, for some reasons, it's just I try and I rap into other person. I try and, like, you know, go in there and make the listener feel right there in the song. So, I mean, that's a character that I just picked up. I mean, I've been in it throughout the years, but I'm more so now understanding what we're now. It could be better for the listener to listen to music and they could feel like they had something in the song or the song is related to something that they got going. But that's my biggest character in my musical journey, being able to reach the listener and, you know, being able to you know make them feel something or make them feel better you know or about um I want to ask you about this Well first of all thank you for your answer on that And do me a favor real quick while we're in the middle of this, give out your Instagram handle, spell it out loud and phonetically. So people can connect with you on RG. All right. My Instagram is money. that's uh m o n e y and then vizel b e e z o e say one more time for everybody tapping again please that's money vizel and you spell it m o n e y thing and then vizel b e e z o e all right definitely All right. So I want to go into this part here. Right now, we're in 2024. I mean, the year is almost over going into 2025. What is vital for you to accomplish going into 2025? I mean, you've been in the game for a minute now. You've accomplished a lot. What are some things that you have not done that is on you to get done? The thing that's on me to get done is kind of, I mean, to get, like, a major feature, I mean, that's, it's not a most important thing, but, I mean, I will add that to what I already have accomplished and everything. I mean, I do have one because I have one by Boyd Turk, but, Boyd Turk, like, I mean, he would, he was the least known I ever had. boy so when you see everybody gonna gravitate i know like you know but he's a legend that they can't take away what he did for for music or whatever but that and also just basically getting them uh just having this turn into a full-time thing or whatever they'll have to per se look somewhere else for the money and everything i know the money is coming from music and something that I would consider a job or whatever. That's my goal too, to be more in this because I would consider this work because it's therapy to me or whatever. So, it'll help me out more. Basically, I'll be when I'm doing this all day, but knowing I'm being able to apply for myself and take care of what I need in life. But that and yeah, just getting more, just reaching more people and being a step further than I am today. like being two levels a year from now or whatever, because I look at it, I look at it like kind of at two levels. Like I look at it at certain levels and I'll be like, okay, look at where I was at a year ago. And I think, and then I start thinking of more things to do or what I need to be or where I need to go. So it's why then now it's just more just trying to like, you know, network with the right people that be just in the same room with some of these big names or whatever. or, you know, being in a settled conversation with some of these big names and everything, that's really the goal at the end of the day. Yeah, definitely. Because, you know, I'm always speaking to you about just, you know, with us, that fan base, man, because that fan base means everything to the future because you make, you know, competitive and inspirational music, man. So I definitely want to keep your flowers on that. But, you know, reaching people, having someone pull out their debit card and purchase something from you is like the highest honor that you can have, because that means that that person believes in what you're doing. You feel what I'm saying? Yeah, no, there was none of those people they didn't believe in. Right, and that's why we always stress here, you know what I'm saying, at our company, for artists to focus on the manual interaction with the right targeted audience. Because if they're feeling you, they're going to let you know. You know what I'm saying? And that's real important, which is, like, right now, you're on a podcast that ranks in the top 200 on Apple Podcasts right now. You know what I'm saying? Yeah. And that's a great honor, whatever I mean. things like that or whatever i mean like that because those things that mean more to me than what your average rapper probably would like you know value and everything like they like just mean more to me or whatever i'm on here where i have a chair to be heard and then also it's like accolades and everything like that that's important in the world i mean not the major thing important like numbers i'm talking about like serious accolades where you know you've done stuff well i mean i have accolades where i've performed in germany i've done things over there I have different things I could brag about. All that I'm streaming and stuff like that or whatever. But I mean, things like this or whatever that really means something. Definitely. Right now, your song Beach Mode is on 99.00 in the Heat Miami. Make sure you tell your social media followers and your diehard fans. Make sure they tune in between tonight at 8 o'clock. Because between 8 and about 10.30, you're coming on. Obviously, we got records that's playing in the mix. but you're playing between like 10 30 tonight you're playing four times a day on the station man how does it feel to be on an iHeartRadio station it's so it's so great i mean it feels great to be on a radio station and then also i mean you know it's i didn't want to keep things like this going and everything like you know more to you know do that or because like i say like don't mean i had a song with these and then you know it was it was on general radio stations and everything like that so i just said you know i like to but but but it is a great thing for you know it to be on especially you know in miami and everything you know that's like a big you know that's a that's a that's a great thing because miami is no you know it's a place where most people go to look for music so definitely i feel like i feel like i feel like miami is like the new york of down south to be honest definitely what a great thing about you know our station is home grown we've been partners with iheart radio now we got a distribution deal with iheart radio to distribute our station on all iheart radio digital platforms so we're honored to be on iheart radio most importantly yeah most importantly we attract um over 20 000 20 000 plus listeners per month on our station which is great for independent that's that's all on the strength of us playing dope commercial and mainstream and independent music but it's a lovely tool i see the game going too, back to the first question of the world. I see the game more now where that label deal and all that, everybody ain't really worried about that now because they know they can do it on their own or whatever too. I mean, it's a good event. They're reposing the times. The times are going to be, you're going to have everybody in the world thinking they can make music which, y'all know that ain't true. And then the pose of it is, you're going to have people let artists get in that deal. because they're going to be able to, you know, and I would tell officers or whatever, like, you know, when you go to these labels, make sure you have leverage. Don't even mess with them if you ain't got no leverage because they're going to be able to tell you what they want you to do. But going to a leverage, then you'll be able to kind of let you let you. I love this, I'm leaving. You know, I'm doing it because, you know, if you got that leverage, the way you spoke, they had that leverage, then yeah. They ain't going to let you walk out of that. No, definitely, man, definitely. What have you enjoyed the most about working with Radio Bushes this far and being on the Bidding World podcast today my brother The majority basically with Radio Pushers pushes it been just basically music being higher and then the organization of it and everything you know very organized you know you get your emails and your notifications that way that you can't really miss nothing because you look at the email you're gonna see it and everything you gotta do it just make a time step in your head in your mind or whatever but even though they're organized you You know, there's a lot of things that are being done that I like, you know, as far as the radio play and, you know, being put on playlists. And, you know, it's just basically a good way to network and everything. And that is being on the podcast. It's just basically been a good conversation, you know, just very, you know, good questions. Not the simple, normal questions that people probably Google and everything. is actually pretending to, you know, like, you know, we don't want to be asked, you know, like, what's your favorite song? What makes you want to sing to music? You know, like, we've been, well, people like me know that because I've been in this game for a little bit. I've been playing music and, you know, big interviews and everything that are not just, you know, no level type stuff where I'm not bragging that like that, but just facts or whatever. But, like, we don't want to be asked that one because you've been asked that so many times, like, you got to dig deep or whatever, like, research a person or whatever and I feel like the research has been done or whatever. And then there's been files given or whatever. It's not like making me look like I'm just here talking to this artist and you know just doing my interview and everything. No, it's like you know, getting all his files and then you backing it up with facts or whatever and everything. And that's basically that helps the artist. That's how you help the artist. You make the artist look good or whatever. Or you, I mean, you know, sometimes you make them look good. You do your research and you've got stuff that you can sell you just add what you can put in there or whatever and everything you know and so i just like that or whatever and i appreciate you know you giving my father what i mean that's one thing that's been me because i had a chip on my shoulder for a long time because a personal thing that happened to me and then also because of when i'm in this industry and people ain't respecting what i'm doing or whatever people you know look at it funny and and respecting all the crappy music and everything. And that's better than what you're promoting or what you, you know, came behind. Because I look at that, I look at it, I feel like it's a fun shot because of the love or whatever. It's got a lot of the TV. It's just like different stuff or whatever that I see that is more than that. And with Big Red, that we're all fun artists and everything and like real messages that they're saying and then when you got all this other stuff out here polluting the streets even more when a lot of these people ain't even living it they just they're doing what was supposed to be they're doing entertainers but everybody mindset ain't the same to interpret that right or whatever they feel like it's really feeling like this and everything all the people say same comment it's been a thing but now even more because people wake up and see the conversation and at the end of the day man it's like it's more pollution being put through all this new stuff that new stuff is coming out and you don't want to tell me what no messages everything what you think you're going to what you think people going to do when you write eight bars straight of this thing play what you think somebody going to do because I had to stop listening to Chicago music like that because if you listen to music It's going to get in your energy and your spirit. It's going to do it. No matter what. Because the mind is going through the mind. It's traveling through the mind. The mind is the first part of your body that is sane. My grandfather always said something, man. It was a joke to me. I don't know what I was going to do. Me or whatever and everything. Because I used to like smoke a lot. My grandfather knew that. But he started getting away a certain way. But he would always just laugh and say, my mind is a terrible thing. white son. Yeah, we just always laugh about it. But there's crazy that that right there, even when I'm being gone now, that right there, I can sit there and laugh about it, but think about it like that man was just so on to something else or whatever and everything. But he was right. And I see it when I get older like, yo, my man, if you ain't got that under control, everything else in your life is not going to go right. It's not going to blow in because the mind ain't right. And the mind is all over the place of life all over the place. So I feel like it's got to change it. It's got to be a change to this. I think the music gets more of a balance to it. I ain't got to say it's got to be 100% no twerking and no other stuff. It's been that music for the longest and everything, but just the way it's presented and some other pieces being added to it where it can kind of add a weight to it where it kind of even it out. That's all. definitely man well listen i want to appreciate i want to thank you i'm honored to have you on the ben and was podcast you know words can't explain how much we love being in partnership with you and all that i stress to you man make time to jump on that money board start interacting with all those real people you got access to over a thousand people a month between the 500 artists and the 750 college students and females man all right don't forget that bro and don't forget to um jump in the chat the streets over shame well you know well you know just like running an ad but but but the better version of it is you're dealing with real people so when when you're dealing with real people and you know and you're going direct to them it's not about following them it's about like i told you before it's about going on there we do four interactions per person because when you do four interactions on one page you have a 75 percent uh ratio response ratio from them so if I go in there like I do that with everybody we're just in the mood we're just regularly on Instagram but everybody's not going to respond yeah everybody's not going to respond back the key is you're dealing with real people so just always focus on always focus on the ones that respond it's like me I talk to 300 artists a month but maybe 40% will move forward you know what I'm saying I don't worry about the ones that don't because everybody should. But that's just a law of averages. But the good thing about it is some people, they'll come back to you later on. You know what I'm saying? The key is just keep knocking. You know what I'm saying? Because I'd rather you deal with a real person directly than run an ad and hope they look at yourself, hope they pay attention. When you can go direct to the consumer, and that's the beautiful part about it. I got it. So I want to thank you, man, for being on the Bidding Wars podcast. We're going to get this out to you.
