Summary

Insights
- Independent artists can achieve major-label-quality rollouts by leveraging algorithm-driven content strategy and consistent studio output rather than traditional label infrastructure
- Long-term beat curation (2-7 years) is a deliberate creative strategy for identifying timeless records that maintain replay value and commercial viability
- Incarceration narratives in hip-hop require authentic relationship maintenance and community support to translate into credible comeback narratives with commercial traction
- Collaborative album success depends on balanced contribution architecture where each artist occupies distinct sonic and conceptual territory while maintaining chemistry
- Producer relationships and beat exclusivity (unreleased Clue beats) remain critical competitive advantages in modern hip-hop production

These guys came, took the spot, got the spot. And I'm going ahead and say it. This is the hottest album of the summer. In case you don't know what we're talking about. Put your motherfucking frisk, man. Damn it, Max. Right, Max. No, no, no, no, no. What they say to the young kids say glazing. I ain't glazing. I ain't glazing. But listen. No, that album. First off, how was that first session? Session, y'all getting together. The studio together. I was rusty. Really? Okay. I was tired. I was a man all day. Yeah. We still went to studio that night. Like I said. Right. I didn't do the 20. Right, right. Right. But the 20 got done. I got 20 to first tape. Right. It was just a rough shake off the bus. Get the voice back. But we did my one of the first nights. So I just go to show them what the first night. My one was the first night. Okay. Okay. Very emotional. Make a marriage. And then we were the second one. We did a brother pulled the second one. But that was the second one we did. The name. Oh, yeah. That's like a throwback. That's like the joint at the end of the album. Okay. So yeah, it was a shake off the bus. Once I got the voice back, I got to acrope it. Right. I was in the cell doing my sister. Right. You see me. Right. I go to the cell phone. I was like, you had your cell phone when I called you. I was like, I was like, that's it. That was good, man. I've been talking to people in jail for 22 years, right? Like, people being in jail. You probably the only person I see can call back for at many times. You want, I was like, you know, what the fuck? I'm calling call this thing. You know, you know, what else? You know, what else? I'm gonna tell you something. It's like, you know, in heart, you're just a good person. There's only two people I ever met in 20 years that have been doing bids. And I've been in contact with that had a good spirit while they was in jail. That would be just me. Actually, it was my man, Tink Binks. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Like, Tink Binks, like, he used to make me, he used to make me happy. But he and Jail, I'm like, what the fuck? Like, I'm supposed to be doing heavy. And like, you like, like, how did you maintain that attitude? The standard positive, keep working. I'm saying, keep my mom busy. Work out, I'm saying, talk to the family every day. Just stay out there. Stay connected, as best as you can. See the kids, ain't weekend, I'm saying. That's him, my wife pull up, ain't weekend. She moved out, so that last little two years was smooth. Real smooth. My whole bed was smooth. It was only fucked up when I made it fucked up. But for the most part, when I was, when it was smooth, it was smooth. Now, that's why I'm a G. This is coming home from the phone, make America wave you again. Watch it. Watch it, French. Come up, back, back. But when I first met French, he was doing coke boys. Yeah. I was just kidding. I was just kidding. 50 niggas with him, and you like, wait a minute. I'm doing the interview with you. Fuck off. Fuck off. All right. War is a dream. You come up behind me. I took over the game. My G, I just... Thank you. I just love watching it from afar. And appreciate what you contributed to the game. Thank you, bro. It means a lot. Is this something that surprised you come home? Like, it's like streaming shit? Is this something like, you like... No, I've seen it. Okay. I'm going to tap into the algorithm. That's part of the day, thing in one day. He said off the algorithm shit. You made a thing. Yeah. Just made a thing. Yo, on every DVD, he was on it. Every video, no matter what DVD you picked up, acts was on them. So, I never met him. My last night was my first time. It was kind of me and Martin Persson. But I felt like I knew him forever. Because when you're from the same club, the same trenches, all that, you talk to the story. You feel like making someone walk together. Bring up the track list. Let's go through the track list. I want you all to say something about East Track. What's the first track? And you've got your own skits back too. I love that. I love that. What's the first track? Wag back. That's new, y'all. I got a lot. It just... I don't want to rhyme no more. So, but... This is how I know... I'll bring you back. Come on. You go out the room just... You know we drank. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. That's different rap. I've got a chain that keeps popping. But... I'm gonna tell you what. Every track I heard, I wrote a rap too. I'm like... This is how you know. Every time I'm listening to... I'm like, I'm listening to... I'm like, I'm like... Oh, these more fuckers made a classic. Listen, I'm like... I can be humble. I'm gonna go ahead and say it. Right now, that's it. The more fuckers. I'm like... I'm gonna go ahead and say it. I'm open, y'all, my friends. So, I'm looking... Because I'm like, yo, let me see where it could be something messed up at. And it's a perfect album, bro. I'm gonna be honest with you. Let's go to the first track. It's gonna first track, has. Yo, shit. Don't worry. Yeah, I don't want to say I want to say... I'm gonna be honest. This is... To me, this is... I'm standing on it. You know, all the podcasts of the blog is going to go at me. Like, why? It's gonna be a classic... So, they made up two weeks, no, bro. I know what classic, when I feel one, bro. You know what I mean? And, like, that's it, it's time this, bro. Like, you know what I'm saying? It's an under-knit. And then change the landscape of where music is at right now. Music was on some gangster shit again. I think this came out, man. They just have fun again. Yeah. That's what I'm... Yeah, you know what? That's the part that I'm missing, too. Yeah, I'm sad for fun. I'm in the main bad light. Come on, just go on. You ain't... They're slow. They get forever been, I go coast on the whole. Yeah. I think it's with... You were in bad light. Come on, man. They're slow. They're slow. They get forever been, I go coast on the whole. Yeah. I think it's with... Definitely. You were in bad light. Come on, man. I think it's going back to the club, Black Tuesdays and Wednesdays again. Yeah. Okay, so the first track is on... Oh, huh? Oh, huh? Make America way via giga. Yeah. Okay, let's talk about that. That was the first day we went into the studio. I had that beat. I had that beat. My boy, Red McFly had gave me the beat by I ain't like the drums on it. So I just pulled that up. The producer? Yeah, and I told Greece, Greece was in the building. So we had the whole vibe, like, how we used to be in the audience. I'm going to hold on. Mix that up, then. Mix that up, then. Mix that up, then. I see the audience going together almost to the tier, bro. I was just like, oh, stick it down. I ain't even peeped that y'all was going to put it together like that. I can tell you, I'm sorry. Yeah. So damn, Greece is in the building. I'm like, you know, Greece, we need... We need that feel. We need them... Them... They're like, when you hear Greece drum, you just know it's Greece. Right, right. You know what I'm saying? So Greece had put the drums on it. That was his first wreck it, fresh out, fresh out, fresh out. So he was a little rusty with it. I'm like, hey, bro, you want to come back to it? Mm-hmm. He was like, nah, God, he folded it off, and we got that off. And even at the end, when we finished the whole tape, I'm like, you want to go back in and do it. He was like, nah, like it the way it is, and we just got to do it this. Wow. How we made it come back away, man. I should fight it. That's what that's the... You killed with that? That's solid. Wipping the wave. That's like... That's like his joint right there. That's the joint he wanted, like, hit me, rap. He like, hit me, rap. So here, come with the old throwback retro joint, maybe like, yo, look. He'd be selling me on it. How you going, man, whipping the wave? I was like, you sure? You like, I'm telling you, man. You're all four to singles with his name. Right. I'm telling you, man. I'm telling you, man. I'm telling you. So he told me we get the video, as it was lit. That was like all positive traction on it. I had no negative feedback on that record. So we just watched a lot of videos. That naked was... Act. Nobody, nobody never got that beat. Right. That... That clue joint, right? Yeah, that clue joint, the... Oh, that's the... No, that's the... That's the... Nobody had that beat. That beat so quick. So I called... So I called Clue. You never released that beat, bro? Oh... I know, I know, I did... What you saying? That was never released commercial. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. On the Clue tape. On the professional. Yeah. So I'm like, yo, bro, you never released that beat? He was like, nah, I see, I'll go back. So he still had it... And... Oh, dad. Yeah. Wow. So he had to go back, and he had to... Send me that, right? So shout the clue for... For going back and bring that. Shout the clue. Okay, bulletproof made back. Hmm, that's my shit. That's my joint right there. That's my shit right there. I was just trying to set the tone on my part of the tape. We tried to like, break the tape down. Mm-hmm. We tried to contribute 50, 50, 50, and I'm saying, elemental. That was like one of the joys where I was like, ah, ah, ah. I was probably the first joint. I started feeling like I was getting it back a little bit. Right. That one made it. And why? Why, why you felt like it was... Just to just to rather warn it, the way it hit, the way it was hitting. The beat was perfect. I'm like, ah, I... Well, shout the Harry front. Yeah, shout the Harry front. Yeah, shout the Harry front. So I was a little pumped up with Harry. Yeah. So that was just like the first joint where I really, my shit was like, it was flown. Yeah. You're just saying the positive. You got Harry front under that grease. Yeah. You're originally like, yeah, yeah, okay. Okay, um, skip part one. Oh, skip work. There's always a good thing. Oh, that's the... Broken niggas. That was the... What's wrong with it? Yeah, that was something I used to always see. But broken niggas. Yeah, the... Oh, no, no. For a purge joint. It's a lot of digg grinder. Work it every day. All right. Yeah. Yeah. I was saying, you saved work. I think my little man has sent me. Like, you gotta put that on the table. I'll put it. Okay. Okay. Mhmm. Dad. God dam. And then, um, obviously, every since you left me. I love him. I love him. I love him. I love him. I love him. I love him. I love him. I love him. vision. But I see the vision. But yeah, that shit. The other one is dark. Snicker had that song tough for like a year. That shit was in the live box with a skeleton key. That shit was on the chest with a thumb drive. He opened that shit up like Juman's. He opened it like you listen. He called me in the room. He like listen. He heard shit. That's going to change your life. Okay, man. Come on, man. Listen to that. Dude, that he was on my head. So I heard it. He played the niggas like, I'm looking. I'm like, what the fuck? Okay, bye. So happy about it. He was over the days of shit. I ain't showing me like, look. Oh, so you didn't lay right now? No, I didn't. He was fucking with it. He kept showing me that shit. Hey, but I was like, I said, I saw I did the joint. He did the rollout. No, that's what I was saying. He gets the bubble in my face. Like I tell him. The first time I played the form, he brushed it off. Like, man, after he laid it. No, no, no. Okay. First time I played the form. I was like, man, I'm going to have to lay it. No, no, no. Okay. First time I played the form. Like, after he laid it. No, no, no. Okay. First time it was when he first came home. This was the first day I played the form. I'm like, you're brought out a little gift for you. Uh-huh. Well, I'm home, give it to you. And it's your first, it's the only other brand. My first is on it. I have all my first is on it for you. Okay. Okay. He listened to it. He came to me. He was like 3.5, no, I'm close. And he walked out. He didn't even pay attention to the track. Second time I played the form. He didn't pay attention. The third time I think everybody that was in the room came to him. He was like, what the fuck is that disco joint? Then man is like, you know what? Let me go in. But that's, oh, that is a disco sample. That's what they call it, because they know what it was. Oh, that's what they call it, because they know what it was. Oh, that's what they call it, because they know what it was. But it's sound, and it's different. It was like, yo, was that disco joint you played? That's me. I keep thinking of, I keep thinking of skate key every time. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. You feel about that breaking band? You feel about that breaking band? You can open that band? Yeah, Casey and the Sunshine Band shot to them. Yeah. Appreciate your all-enters, clearly, Sambo. That's the big sample. That's the big one, Sambo. The hardest thing samples, and then we'll get back to that, you know, that's just the way you know what I mean. That's not that. I like it. It's not that I have another fucking super smash in this era, man, nigga. You know, Max, this might be like your first one, like, you had hood smash in this first one. Yeah, it's not your first one. Why? I know that we've got to feel like, this is what it is, nigga. You still working, though, you know, I don't get company. I ain't got a crush on you. You know, I don't get complacent. I ain't got a crush on you. You still in the lab. That's right. I'm hungry. I got one. He got one, Dolo. He got Diamond Jones. I want to Dolo Jones. Yeah, this nigga's putting up a high on this. So we got this, definitely a blessing in the head. Yeah, man. Yeah, man. Yeah, man. Yeah, man. Yeah, man. Yeah, man. Yeah, man. Yeah, man. Yeah, man. Yeah, man. Yeah, man. Yeah, man. Yeah, man. Yeah, man. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. added into rotation. So are you out independent? How was that? Or, cause I'm independent. No, you're out doing it. Just that, for people who's, who's, let me get back into the finishing line. For people like, you know, that's in the Bronx and Harlem and Brooklyn on Queens, that's that, they want to take the independent route. How could you, what kind of advice would you say to them that want to be independent, but still want to be added to that radio show? Just how you're back up. Okay, okay. I feel like, you know, labels, they, you know, they, they, they, they, they stronger suit as dumping a bag on you that you never get to recruit. Mm. You know what I'm saying? I feel like, you know, I got a chance to, to give fuck the couple of times, you know what I'm saying? But then, you know, now it's fucked you, you know what I'm saying? So I guess, I'm a bumping into clef one time at, at the studio. And yeah, yeah, yeah, walk left. And I was like, yo, bro, here was like, man, the best advice I give you is stack your money up, because one day you're going to have to go to war without these labels. And, and, and they always stuck in my head. So when I start dropping all these hits in this and that, I mean, no, no problem with the labels, because they all help, you know what I'm saying? But there's no way why I shouldn't be making money off of unforgettable, no way why I shouldn't be making money off pop that or my first album, a second. You know, we got so many hits, you know what I'm saying? Like the hits speak for themselves. I haven't made one dollar of unforgettable and it's almost double diamond. No, that's the way that way that way. Right, double diamond is two billion. It's 20 million. 20 million. It's about 20 million. It's 20 million. It's sold. No, that's just in the States. Around the world probably like 84 or something. How do you mean you ain't make a dollar? How much do you spend on the ragged? That's what I'm saying. When, when you coming up as an artist, you're not really looking at that. You just looking at, okay, looking at that upfront money, upfront money, because you're trying to get your bag up. You know what I'm saying? Then once you figure out that you're making money in the back end, that you want the back end. So it's kind of not fair. You know what I'm saying? So you can't really be mad at the labels because you're supposed to look at all that in the beginning. But now, there's only 100% and I'm saying it was put out on money up. I mean, radio, what did it cost? I mean, it's 250, 250. You know what I'm saying? So you drop 250 and something. I'm gonna build boards. You know what I'm saying? No, you don't have to. Yeah, I'm just gonna go with it. So, so, so, so, so, let me change the subject a little bit. Then we get back to it when I close up the album. You, when you left, I was 17 years ago, correct? Yeah. And you had these, these labels, these advances. What made you listen to him and say, fuck it, you know what I mean? Because like, I mean, I, I, I became spoiled, you know what I mean? Like, I, I still to this day if you asked me independent or major, I still gonna go major because I like four seasons. You know what I'm saying? Like, yeah, yeah, I'm saying I like the confidence. You know what I mean? Like, but what made you say, you know what? I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm gonna listen to you and let's, let's go independent. Cause that was, I'm assuming that was your idea, right? Yeah. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. No, cause we just, we just like, you know, we established as far as, you know, putting our shit out there, the fans gonna go grab it. Right. So I just think, you know, depending on the rollout, who needs a label? We, I'm saying, they ain't on the day, they ain't on both fucking, like he said, we working, you know, we active, I'm saying I'm doing, I'm doing my shows, I'm active. So I got hang out until this time. I'm saying, just keep putting our work, keep, keep going to the studio, stay busy. And, you know, fuck with the algorithm. That's what we do. That's right. I'm laughing because that's the shit he called me with. You know, believe you got to do the podcast, the algorithm, fuck with you. I, what's the algorithm? What's the algorithm? What the hell are you doing? What the fuck are you talking about? What the fuck are you talking about? What the fuck are you talking about? What the fuck are you talking about? Okay, obviously I know what this mean, but let's, the people know what this mean, pop, pop the half, taking our larger, take a little picture later. Okay. That's my shit. Pop the half? Yeah. Okay. Who beat with that? That's happy? No, no, no, some shit, I pulled out the phone. That was, um, Dre London, be shot, shot by my guy Dre London. Oh, Dre London, that, um, post below. Yeah, he has said to me to get on and I saved the tools on my phone. He was run chance for like three days. Yeah. He quit, yeah, he quit. Yeah, he's working. He's working. He's working. He's working. He's working. He's working. He's working. But he's made the beats all his, what is, what is produced by? Okay. I can't remember them. So shot to that producer that made the beat. Okay. That was, I got goose bumps when they played that. I was like, like, that, listen, like, yeah. That was, I think that's right, that wrecked it right there. I was, I was in, now you back in pocket. I was in red phone. Okay. You need that pop a half. You were looking at me. No, I mean, the pop a half. Yeah. Yeah. The pose where he was in his zone. Yeah. Real. Okay. Have it. Same shit. Try to adjust his league. Just his league. Okay. Yeah, I had that beat. Like, I had that beat for like two years. Oh, you were harder with beat. Yeah. Okay. He's the whole beat. That's the whole beat. Yeah. That's the whole beat. Yeah. You good, man. No, it's not. You just got, like, I like that shit, Mary and Nick. I don't listen to shit. I don't have shit. I put out a beat seven years. Wow. I am. Wow. Yeah. I had certain records for like a year listening to him. That's how I know record is a hit and not if I keep listening to it. And I'd be like, okay, I could keep listening to this record. That's why I know it's a hit. But what do you mean? The record already recorded or just a beat by itself? Boom. Boom. Okay. Give it a move. I've been able to die with that beat. Yeah. That's the first thing I asked myself before I made this song when I listened to a beat. If I had to listen to one beat forever, would this be it? Every song like that is my process. That's why you had that Mac Bigger Bell. That's why I never heard no shit like that. I'm mad. That's three years of studio. Can we listen to this shit forever? Wow. I ain't gonna lie. That's an ill-profit. I'm here. I'm here. I've never heard of it. I've been around for a long time. Okay. Metro Wave. Metro Wave shot the Metro Boomin. Metro? Yeah. Metro Boomin pulled up on us. He stayed for like three days. And he just popped that joint right in. It was just like that. Like one of the first joints he played. Max just looked at me. And he was like, yeah, let's go. And this one. You can hear that. And he just went off. I feel to be working with the new young heat, man, because these niggas then exist when we were outside back there. I'm in love. I like fucking with the young man. I love it. I love it. I'm making this goddamn Metro Goddamn smoke. That's what we're supposed to do the whole team. You know how Metro works. He needs his time to pick it. Like it. He get a lot of them. This is a two week tape, by the way. Right. We did this in two weeks. Not to me. Two weeks. Two weeks. I'm telling you. It's like that Picasso paint. Yeah. Like when he painted that joint in five minutes and charged homeboy like five million dollars. Like, you charged me five million for five minutes? He was like, no, I'm charging you five million for these 40 years. It took me to just got the clock. Man. That's what that was. That was it. That was it. That was it. Every beat I'm telling you was saved for two years. Two years. That's what. Yeah, it really was a two week. No, like every lift. Harry Farr, shot the Harry Farr. Mm. Harry Farr. I was smoked for him. He been putting up. Max had that already. Yeah, I kind of had that. I was like one of my joints, but um, roses by you. I got to get on that. But that was just like, I try to give you know me. I'm on some, I like giving it goes bucks. Mm hmm. When they listen. So I'm trying to intimidate the other, the competition. That's what I'm going for. That's what that record is right there. It's like, look, I did all this time. Y'all can't fuck with me. Mm hmm. So that record is telling you doing that for this. That's for this. That's for this. That's for this. Right. What brings me to me too. Oh, me too is another one. Yeah. So me too. Me too is a joint that he had for his tape. So he had one of me to do these two records. What, what, what, what, what, what's the one with the very jewel? Mm hmm. That one and, and, and, and, and he's going to be the pick one. So I picked me too. Mm hmm. And as soon as I did out like a bro, we got to put this on our head. Yeah. What's up going on? Mm hmm. Yeah. Oh, I know. I know why I was jumping on me too. With me, I came to the studio and I jumped on the, I jumped on the, I jumped on the third of the, I jumped on that shit black. Oh, remember. Who jumped on that shit black? On me too. Oh. Oh. Call me, yeah, I think, call me, I want to know. Okay. Yeah, I ain't here yet. Yeah, I mean, I ain't here. I mean, I ain't here. I was supposed to take kids.

It was a record that Max had already. I did that in prison, but that's his joint. That's his baby. You had that shit for like six years. Yeah. It was, he did it in jail. Oh, he sent it to you in jail and you ain't do it in jail. You're found in the emergency. No. That's some shitty, like, you're in there. You're in there. And I'm out of town. You might never come out, bro. I sure am. Let me see you go come home, Jack. I'm doing it. Nah. Nah, bro. Nah, bro. I'm not going to tell you what, but he had that since he was locked up. And I remember Dean Grease was teasing a couple of times. And I was just like, you know what? Don't let's not put that on tape. But he was against it at first because he was like, I could do a lot better. I'm home. I did it in jail. Right. But it sounded like you did it now though. That's right. Nobody could tell us about it. That's a fact. He don't expire. No, no. It's no expiration date or heat. It's never nation. That's his shit. Yeah. That's one of the Metro joints. So it was in the back, cooking up on the low. He was holding out. So he was playing and joining. You know, I think he's be there. He'll give you anything. He, he, he, and the size of us. I said, he goes in the back room. I went to do something with the bathroom or something. And some said, go on the, pick one this room. He been there with the, with the, with the, with the Sabination Plan. So I'll go back. I'm not, I ain't saying that. I'm going back to find my girlfriend. I say, you know, just make a hole in that. You. You. You. You. You. You. You. You. You. What's the shit? That was the narco's kit. They're bigger than the couple of us. No, we always be having them because everything's cold weight won. Now there's some shit we whipped up together. I don't even know where he began them shit as well. Not eight. Not eight. No, it's kids before eight. You'd be tucking. You said narcos. Now it's going to narcos. Metro again. Okay. This is real. Yeah. This after Metro came in and he did sarynation. He just like heard the tape now. Now he heard it's goo. Now he heard grease and heard fraud and heard all the joints and he just locked in again. And he got to understand if we don't see his name, I don't even think you'll know that's a mental boom in track. That's how different he had to switch his style up. But he did that shit like that. And then he came with them joints right there. So imagine if we had like three months to work on the album. Yeah. We were going to have a really dead. You sue baby. That's some shit we did right? We was going to do it on the joint and we switched it. You was like, yo, put it on this joint. Because you had a beat in your and your iPad. I was spitting some shit regular. Now you had a beat over the beat. And you was like, yo, we used some time when body was like, yo, what's that shit you spent? Like 20 minutes ago. You was like, yo, put it on here. Yeah. And that shit came out crazy. Yeah. Yeah. I should only seem like Sunday 17. No, don't really. Let me just go through the album. Let me just go through the album. Let me just talk about that. Get it. Or you can be. Or you can be. It's going down. How do you mean you can be? You can come. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. That's your song. No, that's not. You get it back to your head. I know. It's a shit. It was. It was a shot. It was a shot. It was a shot. I just said that, you know, you wouldn't expect the hair. It's vintage. It's kind of like retro sound. Three siblings. I was my mom's favorite. But I'm one in talking. So you got to respect it. I'm helping the beats. I'm bringing up. I'm elevating these tracks. These are all testament tracks. Somebody's track. They're not up to date. It's pretty. It's pretty. It's pretty. It's pretty. It's pretty. It's pretty. It's pretty. It's pretty. It's pretty. It's pretty. It's pretty. It's pretty. It's pretty. So, um, yeah, let's talk about that one. What's the, what's the, what's the problem? Shadda Dollar Bill. Dollar Bill. Dollar Bill made the track, um, he had a change on the, on that part already. He was ready to take them all because he ain't no, you know, I'm saying he like, you know, and I was like, nah, let me see if I could implement them. Mm-hmm. So I was like, nah, I need change on, boom, did the, did the, the, the, came back with the hook with the, the road came and heard like, nah, and that was that. That's how we put that together. Shadda Dollar Bill, that's my man. Mm-hmm. You know, you ate. You ate. That's how that came about. Rest of the piece. I'm just going to take you back to elementary school. I'm going to take you back to junior high. These are different elements we touch and on. Not just don't. The typical concepts. This is concept music. Right. Make you feel good. It's the city. Go wake up in the morning. You go press play. You go. You go. It's not going to be too loud. It's not too noisy. You got. Not. Not. Not. Not. Not. Not. Not. Not. Not. I don't know. I should just know it. I'm gonna try that shit down. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I think it's just knowing the tone deaf. It won't work. I think it's yelling. I'm saying show me. This is so Sunday school. Yeah, no. We needed that feel good music, man. Yeah. So happy I put this album out, man. I needed it, bro. I needed something to listen to. Nick has got me feeling like I'm 16 again. Get the strap with a black hat. Like what? Tease me. I said it's joint. Now that he's saying the whole track list, it feels like the first half is yours. It's A and B. Yeah, I see how Yama's going. I feel like that's your name, the friends. The high and the back. It's kind of like he did the coat. I kind of orchestrate the culture, George. He more sure the commercial here put the singles out. Yeah. That's my weak part. Yeah, sound both good together. Yeah. Yeah, we trust each other. You already know it's like a basketball player. It's a lonely, I played it. The more y'all trust each other, the better y'all going to be the more chemistry y'all grind. It was just piggybacking over each other's shit. Who would do sees me? I think, um, what's that thing in the old club? Remick Fly. Remick Fly. Remick Fly. Yeah, Mick Fly. Okay. How you doing? Yeah, that's a good thing. You have to get it spreading. It's like I wasn't there. I was trying to give it to like a big boy. My guy. He young nigga five. I was loving that be he ain't one dude. That's some shit he ain't one. He ain't really one fuck with. I had to like pull his arm. I'm like making on this record please. This shit is hard. So he wanted to get on it. But it shit was hard. I think it's versus hard. It's shit was hard. It's my shit. I'm looking for the producer name. Was there any record that you that any of y'all felt like damn? I got to sit with this one. I'ma come back to this one. Because you know every record sometimes you have a verse right then and there. Then the certain records you like wait a minute. Yeah shot the ripple. Ripple on the beat with this one. Was there anything like that? Even though y'all think it's six years and seven years with beats. Yeah, no, we mad. Yeah, shippy mad. I just don't feel like and let's be got a design. Let's be got like a date. The timeline. I try to not put no time in all my shit. Let me let me say it like this. Is there ever time when he got lay a verse and the other one here and you like hold on. He kind of smoked me. Let me go back and smoke him. Yeah, I'm trying to. I'm trying to smoke my shit, bro. That's the fun part. I ain't like a nigga shit. Not. That's the competition. He's been smoking. We going in the same time and he smoked me on some shit. I was expected. I'm not going to go right my shit over. I'm definitive. That's right. But my bike's shit there. That's what it is. I ain't going to run. We finished this last question and then I'm just going to it. I mean, it's the last one on the album tip. Rich awful. A name. That was, that was old joyous to like from him. Okay, just like a crazy feature he had did and I was just like, you know, we just got to touch that again. Right. You know, that was that was the vibe on that. Okay. You too. No, that was my shit. That's it. That was that's the city was like, you know, he used to my dad. He didn't got to do this one. Yeah. He's going to be and I heard that I was like, oh, I know. Yeah. And that old man effect. Oh, yeah, you said that was the one we did the second. The second. The second. I was the second. I was the second. I was the second. I was the second. So yeah, that's the game. Oh, too. Okay. That's for the album officially. Coke voice 3.5. No, cool. Yeah, because you missed the third one. Yeah. And you're already upgraded to five. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So Matt. There's people who go home to prison. They go, I mean, I go home to prison. Excuse me. People that go away to prison, right? And like a lot of people are saying, like, you know, even like the little dirt, right? Like little dirt. They went court the other day. Free. They said that free dirt. They said that like none of the homies was dead. Was there a time during your bed where it was just like, I mean, obviously you were lonely. Was it was it ever a time when you felt like that? No. Okay. I support love. My family supported me the whole ride. It's nigga being the man the whole ride. Um, everybody, my man black. My wife did like 12 years with me. I had Frank and I'm saying I was my man. He was holding me there. Like Frank. I had a lot of just shock of Frank Babel. A lot of a lot of people in my family, like you see right now, they was head. And I'm saying to begin and supporting me. So I ain't really had that problem. I mean, I had my days where I was like in the hole in the box, but you know what it is? You just all parties, parties, shit. I'm just, uh, a French held them down, man. The vibe up kept wave up, man. You was fighting outside for him. Like, yeah, you was, you was really rapping, rapping the way. No, no, yeah. I'm gonna get to his spot. But you know, a lot of niggas, like a lot of niggas do what French do and forget, bro. I think we see it all the time, man. It's niggas got to a level where he could be like, man, you know what I'm saying? He never forgot, man, it didn't bring you.

I was like, damn, we was ahead of our time. I said, this is why we in the algorithm right now, cause we did all that back then. We had constant constant everyday content and now they come out. So all that shit just matched together. But it was simple. Once I, you know, when I had the, when I had the jack and then I used to see how that shit was coming. I'm not why it's a lot of shit up here. You get in the loop. It's an algorithm. So what you, you know what I'm saying? So I said, let me just come out and do everything in one day. Everything in one day, a party, the game, a dinner, another, another party. And then we did, uh, we did, we did, we did, we did, we did, we did, we did, not so sweet, but the jacks game, but we, the first party we went to was it so, so, Fingo, or that, um, so that's our Fingo, they said it was like the telling wind there that day.

So that's your football halftime, man. Yeah. We talking about Dre, Primo brings down your football. But you're working up producer artists. Don't let's find a criteria now. You should. You're not rapping. You're getting a massive amount of money. You're not getting a job. You're getting a job. Primo, Primo, Primo, Primo, Primo, Primo. I'm rap neither. 90s hip hop or 2000s hip hop. 90s, huh? 90s. I can't compare. I can be a guy who came out after. Yeah, I think it's a little bit. Low jerk or low baby. Sure. I'll go both. Both. All right, drink up. Hey, he's going here. And this is the last one of them. I'm going to be the first to say the yuck up, rap it up. And no, you got to go to the video. Okay. You're in drink, Paul. I'm watching you. Not you. Come on. You're the last one. The last one. You've ever seen Primo and Taylor. I can't let you leave out here like you. I can't let you leave out here like you. You're the last one who gave me a bunch of more. Okay. This is the, I don't know. Let me not leave the witness. Loyalty or respect. Mm-hmm. No. They're both wrong concurrent them. No. You're the last one. You're the last one. I mean, both. Mm-hmm. You can't have one without the other. You need both. You need both for those. That's the, that's the, uh, part of the question where we say, you should take a shot. Yeah. Or we should take a shot for that one. God comes down, Max. Oh. God, God says, yo, God texts you. Tell him to meet you at Prime 112. You have to sit down. You have a salad. God said, yo, I think you can make one record. The save humanity is now two parts of this record. One of the records is people that are alive. Producer or the person that's on the hook. But then the other record is someone that's alive. Producer and someone who's on the hook. Who are you picking for the, Park in Jway? Mm-hmm. That's for the, for the, for the, for the, if you ask me to do a record, that's going to save humanity, give me Park in Jway. Mm-hmm. Okay. I was a record human. That's it. That was fucked up if I had come home. I was calling this with a dish. Right. Right. No, it was nasty. Mm-hmm. Thank you, Bigger Bell. Thank you, Fritz Martin. Mm-hmm. Okay. Now, a record for people that's alive. And I need a lot, a lot of artists. A lot of artists and a lot of producer. Give me this nigga right here. Oh, one, two, three. Oh. Oh. And give me, give me Jray, man. I want to. Jray again. I need Jray. Oh, man, I brought the right beat today. I want to see. I'm going to, I'm trying to see them in the studio. I got, I'm going to write beat today. Yeah. I'm going to show my dreams out today. Yeah. Post-apitches. Jray, I text them immediately. What are you doing, man? I'm just saying, man, man, man, man, man. I got one point, man. You know, I did the point. I can't. I didn't even do the studio what I'm saying. That was crazy because, like, like I said, when I was listening to the art shit, that's how I knew I should, it's classic. Every beat that played it, I wrote it in my head. Every beat, I was in the studio with them, every beat, and I was like, I haven't done that in a so long. So it was crazy because he didn't have an engineer. But he thought that he was farting on me. But I didn't have it all together. So I went back and boy has I been writing. OK. Making noise to me. Man. Man. Man. Man. Man. Man. Man. Man. Man. Man. Man. Everyone is looking towards you, everyone. I don't think there's a phone call that you can make right now. And a person will say no. I think one is your personality, one is everyone know you, maybe one is everyone know you, your talent. But how do you pursue that from here? Like how to, and stay humble. Just keep working, man. Keep the kids around, keep my friends around. And keep putting out product. We're gonna keep dropping product. We got more product. I got made it now the baby about to drop. We got the cosmos about to drop. And you already heard the Coke wave. I dropped the purge. That's all we're gonna keep doing. The music is never gonna get old. It's only gonna get better. We have better music than the Coke wave. The cosmos album is better. I'm gonna say better. It's just a different, it's a different texture. My million dollar baby, different texture. So I'm gonna just stay humble, keep working. Stay great, keep the kids around. The door without door man. You know what, now with that, with the success of Yard going independent, where you lean into us for Yard solo, what major or state is to get independent? I mean, if it's in there for me, it's in there for me. I'm gonna just keep working to the opportunity, present yourself to somebody, you know, to put it in front of me, and it look like it's gonna do what it do. And then do what it do, until then, I'm gonna go to studio A day, put my head there, keep working. No, what's up with him, so you have been working with, that you wanna work with? I ain't working with no, really no body. A drag for rap, 10 million. 10 million, I fuck with 10 million. Like it's man, I ain't never work with Primo. Wow, I can't, that's a lot of producers, I ain't work with. I seen dads in the um, Swiss neighborhood, but I fuck with Swiss, we gon' eventually get up and go on the stool. But um, Fred Joe said some shit when he was on the show, he was like, he said, I be in my own lane, be hard for dudes to like work with me and shit, cause I don't, they think I don't want, want to take notes when I'm in the stool. But that's far from the truth. I'm saying so, I'm at the level now where, if the record, like I wanna make the big record now. Boy, you got me on some shit, like nah, you gotta hit that one. But that for the bitch. He said the one. And I said, real shit, the one could be better than the album. That's good, I could make you more money than 10 albums. The fact, man, that's the one. I know, I know I actually listen in a different way, but what you're doing right now is remarkable, right? You know what I'm saying? Sometimes, sometimes you could be, what does that shit to your own success? I remember me making Super Thug and then me dropping Oh no, right after that, and people were saying, that was good, but it ain't old no. You know what I mean? Then I drop and grind me and they're like, that's good. But it ain't, and they don't know, like this record is huge, wrote like, like that's why I had the acts like, yo, it's y'all independent. Because it doesn't feel independent, like it feels like a rollout of a major, which says a lot to y'all, because it's like, you know what I mean? Shout the lowless, shout the silent co-shows the whole team, it takes a team. I mean, we've been with a label for about like 15 years, so I know all, and I'm saying, I know the image. Right. Yeah, you know what I mean? He, when he got locked up, he was in the era where there was no rollouts. Right. You know what I'm saying? We just dropped. You were so hot that your records were just following. Yeah, yeah, but now it's like, well, all this new technology, and you know, like you need a rollout, and I was telling him that, I'm saying, so he came home, he dropped this tape, no rollouts, that watched this. All right. You put a full rollout, and I'm saying they both rank a currently each other. Mm-hmm. Is Dubai the best place in the world? The Bronx is. Right. Right. Right. Right. Right. Right. Right. Holy up, Bronx, you were saying that. Right. Nobody else in the world. No, but, um, do you, do you adapt when you in Dubai? Like, Mel, man, I love Dubai, you know? I'm, I just don't like being nowhere for too long, man. But Dubai is just somewhere that is like, everybody that got some type of money is there. Right. Right. But you clubbed. Yeah. I need the link. Tell them they just, I'll listen. Let me know. Tell them they just give blank the Snoop treat me. If you know the weed out there now, I'm like, Snoop, the, I was smoking Bowe. I was smoking weed. They smoking butt out there now, bro. They cannot keep shitting. Only Snoop got that. Yeah. Listen, I've been seeing Snoop the only rat in on the, just doing that. I never get kicked out. I'm bad. Yeah. I think I kicked out Snoop the only one with, every other, we ought to have the past. Rihanna, too. Brandon and Lord. That's why I'm telling you, I'm trying to negotiate with Brent. You mean you're written in Lord. I think they let me smoke out there, though. Yeah. Yeah, can you with the blood? This why I'm trying to say that, those are good words and when old people come out here. Yeah. Ah, ah. Ah, ah, ah. Do we say an artist as you want to work with, we said producer? What's an artist you want to work with? I work with anybody, bro. Long as it's a good record, it's a good beat, it's a good vibe, I work with anybody. How about you, Anas? I love the work with Anas. Michelle Anas, man, he did the way he guards, right? I was hoping he reached out to some point where your woman being his mask and his stool. Come on in. That's your first wave guy to you. Let's cook up OG. Let's cook up OG. Ah. Ah, OK, I know you got to get up out of here. Yeah. I'm going to take a picture. I'm going to drop you. Yo, thank you. I'm back to B.B.
