Always good vibes. Yeah. We want for y'all. We want to stay out the mud. Everything for y'all. Keep my name out the mud. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. It's gricky. Well, let's talk this music thing, man. Let's go back to the beginning. Let's go back to the sack town, man. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Let's listen. Sack town. Sack town. Woo. Yeah. Sack town. Yeah. Well, it makes two brothers decide that they want to prove that they want to pursue music and not just pursue music, but pursue it together. Where does this begin? You want to cut off? I guess when you go all the way to the top of the story, my mom, she was always a singer and musician. My dad's on a sports side. So we always had to kind of do something in the crib, like always had to sing or, you know, just be doing something like that was what's happening. Yeah. Was there any time? Yeah. Yeah. For real. Anybody come over to the house, dad, be like, get him sing for him. Yeah. Yeah. Be like, I'm going to be a million. I'm going to be a million with this story. Go ahead. Yeah. Yeah. I was wearing a hat and I was like, he was only six. He was like, school. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Get out. Man. So, you know, we had to always had to perform and sing and stuff like that. But then kind of growing into who? Right. Yeah. In a serious manner. So I was just like, well, I mean, I'm athletic and shit, but he loves that. Yeah. And I'm just starting making beats. Like, we can't graze over that, right? No way. Because I've had NBA basketball, but this is real. And y'all know how I feel about sports. And I don't be saying just random shit when he comes to that. Right. I'm going to NBA niggas be like, so you know, there is his deriest Logan. I'm like, okay. You know what I'm saying? Like the legend of. Yeah. Niggas is like, yeah, no, no, no, no, no. We went to play AAU with deriest Logan. Yeah. Right. Yeah. I'm like, wait, wait, are you seven foot niggas when found him? Yeah. I used to play for a EBO, you know, EBO was based out of Fresno. I used to play with the Lopez twin, Quincy Point Dexter. So I used to go down there every weekend, go hoot with them. And I was at one time, sophomore year, I was like ranked number five, playing gardener nation during that time. That's when hoop was everything. Yeah. I didn't care anything about music, only for the girls. But everything was hoop, working out three times a day. My dad on our ass, all my ass, torching me. You know how this is just like, who? Sleep, get back to hoopin. Yeah. And that's all I knew, working out didn't have no summers. But when it came to hoop, I was cooking niggas. And then at one point, I just honestly fell out of love with it. And I knew I knew I knew we could always do music. And I was like, you know what? I'll give it a try. Why not? So one day you literally was just like, I'm done. I'm done hooping. I kept tweaking my ankle. And I was just like, man, every time I got all these damn ankle braises, this ain't working. Yeah. Got me on my belt. I got it. It's not in a step curry. It's not in a step curry. Speaking of step curry, we played on the same all American team, a D2Camp. When he was becoming step curry. Yeah. Blasher in the past. But good old days, played with Titus and Timothy. They played with a choir leader, San Diego State. all of them was on my bros, my hoop, Kevin Galloway, Eugene Crockett, all my dogs. Yeah. And then one, yeah, I was hoopy hooping. But then I was just like, he was making, that's when he started making beats on fruity loops. Yeah. And then he'd be like, bro, during the MySpace era, he would like, I just posted this beat up there and I'll listen to it and I'd be like, oh, it's just slap. So he just remixing all type of beats. He figured out what worked for him and then when I came home, we just started making songs. Yeah. We just started recording. Nick has discovered auto tune. And he was like, yeah, let's make it song. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. He was in there all night. What are you recording the vocals at? So my dad, he bought a set up because he was like, basically like, you're not going to be doing nothing around here, but bro doing hoop in a serious way. So I'm going to get you this equipment. And I had to figure how to open and run pro tools by myself or a power is going to take auto equipment back. Oh, shit. I'm getting knocked out. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, shit. You know, he was almost taking the shit back. Yeah. So for sure, the whole area, yeah, he was everybody there. Yeah. Yeah. Big dog. Kid knocked out like your son. Yeah. For sure. I love it. What's that's going to do? Sounds like he made me mad. Yeah. But yeah, so I had to like kind of like this dickhead. I was just trying to get it to operate. You know what I mean? Yeah. And once I got it going, we started figuring it out and different OGs who was in musical with pop by and being like, oh, shit. Like, I got something going on. We're just going a little advice. Yeah. How to, how to arm a track and how to move everything, all that stuff. So once we kind of got a little flow and bro would come home from college and we would just cook and a Victoria Monet, she would, it would be us three cooking up at the house. No way. Yeah. You know, she's exact. No, I didn't know all three of them was sitting in the room cooking. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So crazy. We would just cook up and then we would make songs and print them on the CD and then take them to the like my grandma lived across street from my dad. So he, he bought a house for her to keep like family close to her. But when she moved back east, we made the studio house because he and he rented out the room. Okay. Yeah. Okay. We rented out the rooms and then we had the master and we put the studio in there. And how are you at this point? Yeah, still teenagers. Yeah. But obviously it's right across the street from the house. Yeah. Yeah. He got the cameras right. Yeah. You can't do shit. We used to tell the sneaking girls. Yeah. Yeah. Hey, D-Bo. Yeah. Yeah. Get them out my house. Right. Right. But dad, you don't even look at them out my house. We can see them walking across the street. So we know. We know. We know. We know. We got come here. We got to get out of here. We're the other street. Right. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. That's how. Yeah. That's all the kind of the basis of it. Throughout high school from that point. Are you you're barely in high school. You're what sophomore junior. Yeah. He's in eighth grade. I'm a junior senior in high school. Is pops high when you stop hoping. Because you said y'all doing three of days. Yeah. That mean that he didn't dedicate his life to it as well. But you know around that time, I'm just like, all right, bro. I want to start doing my own thing. Yeah. You know, start working my own coaches. So you know, just start like figuring out what worked for me. But he was hot for a little bit. But then when he was hearing the music. Mm-hmm. Even though, you know, we think we make his lives back then. And to. For him. Yeah. Wasn't it. I've been there. Yeah. Yeah. We are. Yeah. Hey, well, we felt like we were. Oh, yeah. I thought I was getting a pop. Yeah. We did. Oh, man. I was like, I'm killing everything. I'll tell you what. Yeah. Yeah. I played. The older, older, the older producers that was there was producers.

This is a hit. Yeah. Fans. I have my PV out of PV keyboard. The DPM4. Yeah. And I was shut up. And all we really had nine tracks to make the beat. Yeah. Sometimes I would have to layer two instruments on one track. Like it was just. It was a big You told me like for you know for different artists up there in the whole thing. I was while bro is in college I was making money. We're guys though. Yeah, okay. I was making I was already selling beats making money. Yes How much you selling the beast? I don't know.

Yeah, we met fly came down here Fly he was working with us here during that time Well, the first minute around Or dude, yeah, it's working on brown because we did the song called Michael and me Jesus, gross.

That right there makes it so much better. Wow. Yeah. Y'all have no choice. We didn't have no choice. I had no choice. Who was it going back? So what's that called? I was dodging the Ignor Nation. Ignor, I wasn't ready yet because I'm just like trying to figure out. You guys big bro like brother. I had to do what I had to do. Yeah. I was the one that was like bro we need to go. And I was like we got to figure this out. He just like let's go and I'm like you know it. Let's just go. Let's load up. We out. I had been to LA because you know the camps and pooping so I was aware but I know we knew fly and I knew some of his other homies so I was trying to figure out the living. Meanwhile he just think about music. I'm like we got to figure this out. What we're going to say. Yeah. So he was living out the focus for a good two or three months. Mm-hmm. Two three months. Yeah. Living out the focus trying to figure out where we're going to stay and trying to get to the studio. When we first pulled up the LA coming from sack where we go. We're sick. Yeah. We're sick. Yeah. We're sick. Bro we pulled up the centers go. At the time of like we got to meet pot. We're here to meet polo. Yeah. I never met him before. No. But you're still got brains there. Yeah. So you're getting to the time time. Oh God. Yeah. Oh what happened. Pull comes out. He like. You're talented but this ain't how you do this. Hey how you do this bro. He's like. You don't know y'all. We like now. We just show on the plants and music he like. Ah. He is. But he laughing. He was laughing. He like. They all go. And then we just leaving in. What like a month later we ended up staying in a fly friend. A dentist. Yeah. He let us stay there. And then we just leaving them, like a month later, we ended up staying at Fly's friend Dennis. He let us stay there. He was playing right there, like half the rent as long as we could. And then we left there and started living with Fly. And Fly had his camp boat there. It was us, T fly, and notch, and Rabe, recipes, recipes. So he was like, you know, do his executive thing, I got these producers and trying to get records off and stuff. And we was in that mix. But it just, it didn't work out. Oh, some of the Prince Charles is over there too. And crazy. Yeah, crazy. We were down. Yeah, crazy. And then it just didn't work out all the way around. But that was like the basis of when we first got here, we just do records, record, record. And notch, when we got up the freeway, notch was the one, we didn't know where it was going. We called it notch and he was like, pull it through the studio. Then we met the new boys. And that's how we got our first placement. We're cadding. No, no, with the, it's called New Girl. Okay. And we got a feature on there too, which the vocals are terrible. Horrible. And you're off fresh in the city. Oh, yeah, sure. We, they was the new boys was recording in Gardina. Gardina, yeah. So we come and check straight to the hood, going in and recording the garage. Mm-hmm. And notch in there. Yeah. And I was like, come on over here, you know, I'm notch. Yeah. So that's how we got our first check we got behind McDonald's on a 15 hundred. Yep. 15 hundred. Splitted. Because though we were rich. Were you got paid behind the McDonald's? Yeah. We signed up. We got producer because we had to sign your producers that had McDonald's. Yeah. That made Donald's. Okay. All right. I made Donald's. Yeah. Did you already read it or did you just take it? Yeah. He was like, we was at McDonald's all the time. He was already hungry. Oh, it's already hungry. That's a great way to do that. I'm like, I got my witchy. Exactly. I need a max off. I need a max off, man. We're going large today. I want the big drink. You can come. You got a 15 hundred out of the burger. You see the lobster pepper. See this check. Check fry and drink. Right. Wow. Look at me. You mentioned question just as as creatives, right? Right? Because, uh, shout out to Andre Mary. Hit it. Definitely hit you with the, you know what I'm saying? Right. You're not there yet. You ain't got it. At what point did you feel like? Because now before you get to this placement, at what point do you feel like you're competitive? Like you have something that that now is on the level of what you hear on the streets. For me, it was a micro record, how much swell it was like fly was trying to take it to A con and it was like conversations that we were a part of now that we'd never been a part of. Right. So that's what had the battery pack in me. Or I'm like, we need to, that's what we need. We need to micro record. Yeah. We need to get out. We need to be here. Right. We in the game now. Okay. So at that point, you felt like y'all had something. Yeah. Yeah. And then we're going back and forth with Jerry during his time too. So we started saying this stuff. It was like, it's fire. It was getting better. Did that record ever place? No. The micro mirror. No, the Chris is going to cut it at the time. And then all of that's the rear-re stuff happened. So it just like the whole train just derailed. It was like, yeah, I never try to put on nobody else. No. Okay. We just came back and just kept creating it. But that song created the conversation. Pretty good. Pretty good to get your own ones. Yeah. Right. Yeah. Okay. So cadet is next. Cadet is next before. So it's new girl than cadet. Yeah. And then, uh, man, we get silent university. We get some job-produced cadet. No, Jayhawk produced it. But I kind of like teased you out, if you will. You know what I'm saying? I did all the edits and recorded it and moving, arranging, and doing all that stuff. So it was pretty like, you know what I'm saying? Like put this in the beat. Yeah. Additional production. Additional production. And then we was all, we was actually in the rejects. In the rejects, yeah. So it was like, we was going everywhere in the van. Seven rejects popping out back, rescanees, Mitch Masjordins. Dancing. Dancing. Everywhere we went. And we really couldn't do much at the house, throwing up like as far as like party. And so we, that's why we are how we are. You think his job was witness? No. No. We got it. No, it's Christian Christian things. But politicians didn't play that shit. He's rude. Milletent time. Milletent time. But he was like that for everybody in the neighborhood. Like, I respect for your dad. Yeah. But we just live with him. So we, we, that's our dad. So like, no, you're not doing that. But he kept your block straight. Yeah. Yeah. No, I get it. I get it. So when y'all get out here, now your niggas become rejects. Right. Okay. All right. Yeah. Yeah. And you're dancing with your pants on backwards. Yeah. Yeah. I know pops probably saw the video like man. It was too late though. I see them. I was just right. Yeah. Too. Yeah. Whoopin' them. Oh, yeah. I'm chicken. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I'm going to be like, no, you can't come right here. I'm seeing y'all can't come right here. Right. Y'all has got to go now. So no trouble. Yeah. That was a different era. Yeah. But once we got past that, we had got signed with Universal, Ron Doerr, with Kevahaw. Mm-hmm. Was over there. And he put us with Damon. That was the best thing they did was put us over there. We're doing that. Mm-hmm. So Kevahaw did just introduce you out of that. Yeah. Okay. Yeah. The Dilly song was horrible. Terrible. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. How many songs? 300%. 300% songs? So three songs. Three, three, four. That's 100% songs. How much y'all got? Let's just talk about it. 20k. 20 minutes. Woo. Two. Two for one. Yeah. 20 minutes to the both of y'all. Yeah. To split. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. And he's got to put us on that back to make that was. We saw that when that bird came all was sitting on that back. Kevahaw was so much younger than time. And he's the only thing good there. Kevahaw was sitting there like Druski. Yeah. Sign right here. Look. Look. Look. Look. Look. Look. Look. Look. Look. Look. Look. Look. Look. Look. Look. Look. Look. 300. Yeah. Yeah. That was tough. That's tough. Yeah. That's tough. I mean, I have a 500 with deal. I mean, we got out of that thing. No, no, good. This is for sure. Of course you did. But it was just, but you know what? I think, I think, I mean, Jay, I've talked about this before. Like, yeah, it sounds like a bad deal. But you ultimately were betting on yourself. Yeah. And whatever by any means necessary, you had to eat and you had to survive and you were just going to charge it to the fruit loops in the microphone. Because the other question is, would you sign it again if you were in that same position? Absolutely. Yeah. If you knew that this, it was going to lead to you guys being here, the success that you had. Right. And that's what you got to ask yourself. I think, you know, a lot of times people, I'm, I'm sorry, 2020, obviously, but you have so many people who, I'm trying to figure the best way I could say it to the fuck it. You got people who are outsmarting themselves. They're just two business savvy in the beginning. Because what people don't understand is, in the beginning, you really don't have any bargaining chips. Right. You don't have any leverage. And the leverage you think you have is really in your head. Right. Unless you got some crazy bidding war, everybody's chasing you down. Yeah. And you can leverage that into the best deal possible. But when you are trying to eat, yes, sir. Yeah. And you don't want to sell dope no more. Talk about it. You don't want to live in your daddy house, no, you don't want to be so many different variables that come into play that people just tend to overlook. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Like yes. Because the objective is to one day be able to laugh about it. Right. Right. For sure. Not. But the only way to be able to laugh about it is to be successful. Right. Most of the people that I see complaining. Hmm. Don't you do it? Don't you do it? Don't you do it? Fuck, I'm not in success. Right. You've only done it once. And you got a bad deal with that one time that you got you was cracking. Right. I get it. I get I get the frustration. Right. I get the frustration. But if you've done it over and over and over and you've gotten to this place, this wonderful place called renegotiation. Right. You laugh at that shit. For sure. We always we definitely got the last laugh. The last laugh for sure. Yeah. I got 20. I got 35. Really? I got 25. And I got a little 10 on top later. Right. But it really only got 35. It got 35 all in of the 75. I was supposed to get y'all got your whole 20. He was supposed to 20 and y'all got 20. Yeah. It was supposed to be more attached like guys. We progressed to the deal. Yeah. But it just ended up us getting out of it. Me too. Not having. Yeah. Me too. Yeah. Same thing. For you. For you short money deal. They gave tank the big money. It didn't put him in the headlock. I got that hot 175. Yeah. Yeah. The long way. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. It was. It was prison. It was all jail. All jail. All the violence. There are no bad deals, man. Yeah. Like I just I just feel like you have to do what you have to do. Like I've been in situations where I was owed a lot of money. Right. Lot of money. And it was either fight that or settle for less and get back cracking. Right. Cracking is the remedy. Mm-hmm. Cracking is the remedy. So let's get to cracking. Get the cracking. Let's get to cracking. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Which crack? I got one. It's a couple episodes. Yeah. We like that. Come on. Let's start. Let's go. Come on. Come on. Come on. Come on. Y'all. Y'all. Y'all. He nothing now. I've ever ever. After the. What's y'all? What's y'all first record that you're like? Okay. We can breathe a little bit for y'all. And you y'all mine. I would say that those are carrots. Streets for sure. Streets. Streets. Streets. And he's greets. And how long? Mm-hmm. So these people can know how long has y'all had y'all been in the streets before streets got cracking? How long y'all been in LA figuring it out? You know, as I would call it, the hamster wheel. The hamster wheel. The hamster wheel. Before that record does what it does for y'all. How many years had it been? Well, this is year 17. So that was what year? What? 13? Yeah. Yeah. 13 years. Y'all have its survivance. In LA. 13 years. 13 years. Living out the whip. Make it slabs. Niggas stealing our drip. We doing our type of stuff. Talk your shit. Talk your shit. Talk your shit.

Hey, we gotta come more lessons for y'all. You gotta come back. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. But this time we get in our leg back. Yeah. Anyways, you feel that doja cast street record. Yeah. It took off like a man. What's the hot fire? What's crazy? Is that record was out? Yeah. For like a year before it cracked off. Oh, wow. Like the internet just on some leak type shit art on the album. On the album. Okay. Just erupted late. Mm-hmm. Like, perfect. Because that's not a normal doja cat record either though. Yeah. It's a very black doja. Mm-hmm. Hey, doja. I like black doja. Mm-hmm. You should do more of those records. Mm-hmm. And I'm a huge fan. So just so you know, I'm looking to camera. I'm a huge fan. I love doja cat. I think doja cat is one of the most talented artists. Amazing. She's a rock. In this shit. Not female. Not male. No, no, no. Artist. Period. She is amazing. Yeah. She's different. Yeah. And I love her on that R&B film. Yeah. She's good. Yeah. Come on. Hot pink. Hot pink. Hot pink. Love that money. Love that. So when you get a record like that, what are the conversations after that for y'all? I feel like everybody. That was the first door I really kicked out like boom. Oh, y'all about to have what can y'all do it again? That's what it was. Yeah. Is this look? It wasn't said, but it was like, okay, y'all got one. But can y'all do it again? Mm-hmm. And then after that, we got iffy with Chris Brown. Yeah. Mm-hmm. And iffy, that was a great error. That was a great error. That was doing COVID. We was hooping with bro every day. Yeah. Yeah. You know, we've been on Chris throughout the years forever, but we really locked in with bro because it wasn't nothing else to do. Yeah. Yeah. Hope. Who make music make this love? Yeah. So we'd low key at an advantage because it wasn't other producers that allowed us. Half-court, quarter-court. Yeah. Quarter-court, sleep-re-slippery. We have to do full half-court. Full half-court. Oh, full half-court. Yes. But yeah, iffy was amazing. Yeah. Bro just kept playing it every day. He was playing it every day. I'll show it to you. I'll show it to you. I'll show it to you. Go with this one. Yeah. Who's like? It's great in concert too. Right. Yeah. It's great in show. Because you know he cuts so many records, so you'd be like, you never know. Yeah. Yeah. And COVID really has stuff, so I'm just like, you still going to put that in. He's like, no, no, no, we good. I'm like, okay. You know we're going to send this to Dosey. Yeah. Got a baby now. You got to use them. You got to call it. Right. Right. Right. We're on here. We can put her on here. Remember that iffy days. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Actually put up a couple times. We was all who been. Yeah. Yeah. Went out there and musted some people around. Yeah. He did. You know, strong man basketball. What's the time? I remember that. I remember that. Definitely. That's though. So that now it's starting now it's going up. Yeah. And now we did the Indicillian hate me tomorrow too. Yeah. So we was you know, not you didn't production it. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. No more fast food parking lot. No more fast food. Yeah. No, let me get you. Yeah. You gotta leave you have your own lawyer now. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. We're going to have a meeting in Nashville now. Yeah. Nick still got to eat. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. We believe he's my question. If you if you talk to your dad yet. I was at that point. Had you? No, we had talked about we already we had it. Yeah. It was good. In 13 years. The doctor the car. Oh, you answered the phone right now. The call is 13 years. It's crazy. He called you. What? What in the stranger days? This is crazy. Now yeah, we we had talked about around the cadetty area. Like, right. We really started building our relationship again. In a new way. It's like not so that you know, baby boys. But as you're grown in. Now, you know, surviving and pushing to thrive in the music industry. It is, you know, being pop is overproductive and then it's like, all right, we got it that way. Well, yeah. And I think and I think, you know, pops can respect that part of it. Yeah. You know, you you boys, you know, making your own way to become mint. Right. You know what I mean? And taking that leap of faith. Yeah. And so I can imagine him, you know, of course one to protect you guys and and and be there for you. But I can imagine, you know, he's proud as well because y'all, y'all in the belly, belly the beast. Right. Definitely. You know what I'm saying? And you live in and you ain't you ain't backing down from no phase. You like you. We out here. Yeah. Yeah. Did y'all ever move back? Not at any point. Yeah. Yeah. Stayed the whole time. Stay the whole time. That's because that's the tale of take break. Yeah. I respect that, bro. Yeah. Sure. It's been a couple of moments where it's like, I guess we're about to go back. Here we come. Hey, hey, Zach here we come. And then a blessing come through our place will come through every time. I'm just looking like man. I'm going to get through this. No bread right now. I have no cheese. Yeah. Jesus bandit. Within 24 hours. Bless got that call. Let's pull up to the studio and cook every time about the leave. It's like, I know. God. He's watching. Yeah. Make sure that we good. Yeah. Because you have little work. Yeah. That's one thing too, right? Like, I've seen so many people come here. Obviously, I'm a transplant. I think it's a transplant. We none of us are from here. Right. But I've seen so many people come here and get just so caught up in the life. Right. The lifestyle of LA. Right. And listen, y'all some party in it because I just go y'all who y'all are, but y'all never got caught up in it to the point where y'all didn't do the work. Yeah. For sure. Right. And there's, you know, because I think for me, I've always just did the work. I never really party. I've never really my thing. Right. Because I just knew me, right? Like, I'm just like, I got to focus on this. Right. But watching y'all as a big brother watching y'all like, yo, they can still like, y'all can attest to this. I've never pulled y'all to the side. So yo, y'all doing too much. Right. Because I just like, no, they still do the work. I've only done that to people when they don't know who they are who didn't do the work. That's you're supposed to do. And y'all done the work. And that's why you said, you'd be flat on your back. Fucked up. Think you going back home. And then 24 hours later, either y'all got a check coming through, y'all got another opportunity coming through. Because y'all have been a reliable call. We've called y'all multiple times from the TGT project, TGT project. Thanks project. Me as an artist, like, we've always been like, I got to call the guy. Right. I got to call the guy. Yeah. Because y'all going to show up and do the work. And do y'all think, and it's going to be great work. You know what I mean? So salute to y'all for that. Thank you. And y'all have had a good time. It's been fun for me to watch. Man, from the outside, I used to get him y'all into something good as time. Yeah. I feel like the party and just it rose up into the music. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. It feels good music. Yeah. It feels it. Yeah. I like hanging out with you guys. Yeah. That's a good. Honestly, tank, you literally like the first person out. You are the first person to be like, when we was in the studio working at Damon Harvey studio, he was like first person to be like validated. It's be like, no, these niggas are dope. Nobody was shining here. As you know how it is during that time, it was y'all who was all at the studio during that time. I was upstairs. I don't know. It's um, um, poppano, um, Marsur, that whole just that whole, uh, the, uh, the track record on, on, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So y'all like, when y'all kind of said this like, I think it's dope. It's cold. Yeah. Like then Harvey and everybody else start like listening from a different kind of, it was different looking the building. Yeah. Yeah. Because I was like, that was like, music school, Motel for us. Right. You know what I mean? We was learning. That's, that was a good idea or two. That's where you get residuals from facts that house. Right. That right. Without us. What you learn there. Yeah. When we the knowledge we got. Yeah. Yeah. Cause yeah, I was the young dancing niggas at that point. Right. Like, yeah, that's, that's what y'all vibe was. And y'all were a good time. The music hadn't fully got there yet. Yeah. Yeah. You know, I was like, um, like, sit, sit back and watch. We like, damn. This song ain't good either. You like, I'll go deep. You like, give me the files. Come back and be a record in real life. Yeah. Okay. Now you got, you guys were, you guys were privy to do some really 10 year people in the business who actually cared about y'all too though. You know, for Damon Harvey, us to, you know what I mean? Like, yeah. That was like a general consensus around there. Like, no, no, no, these are our little brothers. Yeah. Yeah. Like all of us took a liking to y'all to the point of being like, no, no, no, no, we have to pour into them. Yeah. And we just glad to share work. That was really cool though. To have those conversations right to, to be sitting with, you know, LA Reed and, you know, he's playing me Jayda and then he plays y'all record and as he's like, oh, yeah, see guys. I'm digging my. Right. Right. You put you on. Right. LA. Right. But now that those moments feel good though. Honestly, and seriously, like those moments feel good to know that we saw it. Right. We saw it. We, you know, and we believed early. And facts definitely. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Job. Part though. You know what I mean? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I think you guys are like, you know, just so everybody can, you know, understand the type of producers that you are. You know, you guys are like, you guys do anything. Yeah. Literally. Literally. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Like I've called y'all and asked y'all for some outlandish shit. And Jay was like, what are you doing? I'm just hanging out with my young guys. Doing young feels. I'm not always the voice. I like to have. No, I don't. I get on my turn up and I need that fix. Yeah. I hit the black tuxedo text chain. Yep. Turn me off. Yeah. I still remember the shots. I don't know if y'all know what really happened. I don't know. Exactly. No. No. No. No. No. No. TGT happened. What? So that's what ultimately we were asked. Yes. Very, very politely and nicely from the label to get away from shots fired. Oh. So they killed the record. Right. Because they had they spent a lot of money for this TGT album and they needed tank to get in TGT mode. And if you're smart, they would use the momentum for a brand. But at that time, it was a different time. Yeah. Yeah. Like you were as an artist, you hyper focused on the thing on the task at hand. Right. And and it was nobody was really having two conversations at the same time. And shots fired wouldn't attach to anything. Exactly. Remember tanked and having an album. It wasn't. Yeah. You know, it was like, you know, yeah, it was. Yeah. It was an illustration. Right. Yeah. We brought my movements. Woo. I listen. Brown. Let me say, hey, I need you to perform with me at the at the power of this. I said, do what? That one. The most staged with the brown. Yeah. With the brown. What? With Chris. Yeah. Hey. Yeah. You might have the brain. We went to the club after part of that night. He was like, just let's do shots fired in the club. I said, absolutely. Right. Ready. We found up in the club. Yeah. I'm on LA radio going crazy. It really was a boy like it really was no for sure. It was. And it was a really it was a tough spot for us. Yeah. Just from a business standpoint. Yeah. It was a tough spot because tank had already signed on right and gave his word to. Yeah. The group. Right. And to the label that he was also, you know, both deals were there. Yeah. Yeah. Tank Solo deal was there. TGT was there. And it was like, we kind of got to get into it because this album got to get turned in. Yeah. That was part of those sessions. Obviously, we mentioned it. Lesson of love. And what's the second one? That. Don't take it wrong. Take it wrong. Take it wrong. Take it wrong. Take it wrong. But so it was one of those things where, you know, him and I had to sit out. Now I'm like, Chief. You know, hurt me. I was supposed to be our first one. That was what it's a lot involved. Those are the tough those are the tough parts of this business. Bro. I was still he make down on all the shoulders. Shit. Shit. Shit. It's all this bro. I'm the part of our argument. Our niggas is here. It was a 2013-2014. That was well. That was well. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. That's crazy. But it's, you know, I needed that song too. Yeah. It was going. It was like crazy. It was crack. Hey. I remember the video shoot. The video shoot was crazy. It was crazy. It was crazy. I'm thinking, you know, pull up, pull up from in the bro, pull up Chris and just, you know, we're just going to go to the part of the video. You just, and I think it said, I have other plans. Light the bar. That's crazy. What do you do? I think I jumped on that bar. I remember. I said, he'll be rich. Bro, he started, he started transforming. He's, I said, oh yeah. He transformed like he did. I said, we're going to be rich. Rich. Right. It did. We did the two shot. I said, oh my god. Hey, listen, I can always count on you guys to, to help me find something different that I can do. Right. Yeah. You know what I'm saying? You guys are, you guys are great at producing and writing in a space to where it's like, okay, but you can read. You don't need to say that. Yeah. But you can say this. Yeah. Yeah. You don't need to feel like that, but it can feel like this. You know what I'm saying? Yeah. Yeah. And it's like a lot of times, I'm listening to y'all. As long as I've been doing it, I'm like, yeah, okay. Koo koo koo. You'll be vocal producing me. Big bro. I'm trying to take that down. Stay right in, say right in here with it. Right. Got you. And that's the cool part about all of this. Yeah. You know what I'm saying? As you guys have probably learned some stuff from us, we've learned some stuff from y'all. For sure. For sure. The fact that you even want to, the fact that you even trust us to be like, I'm listening to what you say. It means the world already already. Already. Because we in the studio, like I said before, it's trying to just get a yes from y'all. Yeah. Yeah. That should mean a lot. Yeah. Yes. It's like a month. Because residuals. Yeah. That's your question. Do you remember when you played residuals at my house in the studio? Yeah. And I said, what in the book was Chris Onis? Yeah. Chris Persian, the first one was where you heard. Yeah. Yeah. The first one was where. Yeah. Was it? Was it the way it was the way? Nope. It was good. It was good because you was like, he was you unsure. Yeah. That's right. That's right. That's right. That's right. I'm not saying it. The album had dropped out of the drop. And it wasn't on the album. Yeah. Yeah. I was like, it was supposed to be on a breezy album. Exactly. That's what started the breezy album was residuals. Residuals and, uh, Hey, me tomorrow. Yeah. So how old was that song? We did it when, right at that time, I run a time, the breezy album came out. Huh? That, no, he was saying, when do we actually made it? Yeah. 2018. When did breezy album come out? The breezy album. It was like 2022? It was like early in the year. It was like we made it like February or something like that. February. But it was, but I don't came out later that year. I'm saying when we actually make the song was 2019, when we actually like created the song, but we'd been played it for bro and then bro cut it. He cut it. Yeah. Initially. 22. Yeah. 22. Yeah. And then the song doesn't come out to what 24? Yeah. So residuals five years old when it comes out. Yeah. Wow. Yeah. I heard it. I heard a half a listen. Now, remember him telling me that he was like, nigga, I said breezy. What's he? No, no, bro. That's going to the bonus. That's good. That's going. That's going to be. Yeah. We're going to ain't no. If it wasn't, man. He was just trying to figure out how to get out. I knew the whole line. That's how you. That's how damn right. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Right. All of the crazy breezes say I'm like, I mean, I don't really just find it. You were there. Who do you already? It's fine. That one. I'm like, I'm sitting on top of that. That's working. I like. Right. We're to the. You talk about a song. I won it. Man. Shhhh man. It was really. That's what. Okay. So this is all these challenges. This is songs you want. I wanted that song. Bad. That makes sense. I wanted that song. You all played that song. I said, so he's not used to. He's kind of using double check. That's about the girl. So y'all, yeah, how far did y'all go? I will do you know. Will she your girl girl? Right. Or I had breEDED me. That's it. Man. Residual's man. Right. Man. What's going on? Oh, you have us and I put. Yeah. You should. Right. You should. You should. You should. You could. I did it for you. You should. I did for you. Yeah, I'm so happy. I'm so happy. I'm so happy. I'm so happy. I'm so happy. I'm so happy. I wanted that one. Man. He was originally for usher. The idea was for usher. I was like, man, how could we do something that's close to any of the songs on confessions? And I was just saying the same week we did if he and Residio was the same week. Got you. I think it was just on like back to the Kila was to Kila. Oh, man. Oh, man. To Kila. To Kila. To Kila. To Kila. Kila. To Kila. Listen. What a song. Like what a song. Like song so powerful that it didn't need nothing. It didn't need no campaign. Right. It didn't need no budget. It didn't need nothing. Team Breezy just just for him to sing it. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. They know they know they know they know they know. They know. I love. They know. I love. I love you. As a member of team Breezy. Yeah. How many teams are you a part of? Well. I'm in the beehive. It's okay. And I'm team Breezy. Okay. I'm team Breezy. I'm in my own. I'm a soldier in my own. There you go. My own fan base as well. You're a fan of you. You're a fan of me. Oh, see a tank. It's a tank. I was with over. There's London. I got a video to it. I think I might have posted when he was singing the song. I was just like. Like. I feel I felt like Breezy hadn't had that moment yet. That just talked about that. What are you talking about? We talked about that. That literally just stand there. Flatfoot. Flatfoot it. Get to it. And and let them let them just look at you. Right. Yeah. Like when I was standing in London and watching, I made this. My God. Yeah. It is a wrap. Yeah. Cause that takes you to a different place, especially as a performing artist. Yeah. You know who's known to move and dance a lot. Yeah. When you're still. But you got to have a certain record that you can get that off. Right. The microphone came down with all the glittering. Yeah. Yeah. And I'm just. It's that the biggest screen. And I'm and people are just. They're just that. Right. They have a moment like you're an off. Chris. All the time. Right. He's always doing something amazing. Right. But for him to just stand there. And them to have be able to have one focus point. Nobody else on stage. Nothing else. That's not just him and people were like. It was crazy. Crazy. How does it feel as a creative of someone who's that was a part of that record. To watch that. That's an amazing one. They're one in New York. The one in New York and the one in. And so far. So far. Yeah. Crazy. Yeah. When you. As soon as you see it. It's like Michael putting the glove on. Oh, I know it's about to come on. Right. About to come on right now. You might got the phone set. I got my phone out of it. Man, I'm looking like this. Just looking around like all these people, it's crazy. We made this song in a little studio room. Everybody got that motherfucking out. Right. In a stadium. In stadium. I was like, it also makes me want to take everything like a little bit more serious too. Like what we talk about in these records. And like in the future, because it's like, they it's really touching people. Like it's, yeah. It's in their homes and their phones and they, you know. Right. A part of their lives, all of our lives. You're like, never know what record is going to be that. Mm-hmm. Like, especially right now. There's the fire right now. Oh, fire. Yeah, we're still having a moment. Where's the, where's the residuals too? So, I'll be where everybody's here. I'm not. I'll see you in a couple of records. Yeah, I got a couple of records on me. I got a couple of records on me. What's it, what's the, like, what's the line of right now? Like of the records that you got coming, you got out. The news. We just did three on B2K's album. Yeah. We love that. We have the first single in there. Gave them boys some heat. Yeah, I love working with those guys. Yeah. Great image. Because when we, when we was working with them, it was like, bro, we was letting them know like, bro, it was Michael Jackson and the wine is and then y'all growing up like, because our dad wouldn't let us go and go back to the pops. He wouldn't let us. That's a wild combo. Bro, Michael Jackson, the wine is in B2K. Yeah.
