Starting point is 00:05:15 You know what I'm saying?

Now, well, say, like we say, man, you see the wonderful background right here. Before y'all tapped in for show, man, we had the fireplace cracking back here. You know what I'm saying? The legendary YouTube YouTube setts, man.
Starting point is 00:05:30 How do you feel about the YouTube DJ sets, man? Because people will be tapped into those. Man, it's like, it's super necessary. I think, like, as far as branding and shit, just marketing and whatever. When I was, like, really coming up, especially, like, leaving college and, like, getting into, like, the club scene, it was, like, all about, like, SoundCloud. Yeah. Sound on SoundCloud. That's really how I got my start.
Starting point is 00:05:47 I had these mixtapes called Streets need that. And it would just be, like, a month of just, like, the hottest shit that just came out over, like, the last month. And people would, like, throw parties to them. People are even like, when the next one come out? Because they pre-gaming in their dorms and shit listening to that. Yeah. So I feel like now it's just like the evolution of it where you can actually see people reacting to the music and all that.
Starting point is 00:06:04 Some of it obviously is like performative and shit and that should be hilarious. But I think it's a good like tactic for DJs to get themselves out there. Yeah, you know what I'm saying? With a nice, the dice table and the leafy and the background. Everybody wearing the same color and shit. Yeah. No, that's dope. That's dope.
Starting point is 00:06:19 They definitely change the vibe, though. Because you really ain't got a really ain't got a hard DJ at the back of her buggy, bro. Yeah, facts. Yeah, yeah. Run his playlist, right, you find your little favorite YouTube DJ or whatever.
Starting point is 00:06:29 Can't afford to chase tonight. They put that thing on the screen. That's what we're going to do at your party? Uh-huh. That's what we're doing at your party? No, he's going to be here. We're here now for the people on YouTube, our family.
Starting point is 00:06:44 Let him know what you're trying to do, man. You already say you're trying to book. No, he's booked. First case. First artist. Not real. That's why I'm here. He's getting this shit on camera.
Starting point is 00:06:52 Yeah. You say it. November 28. We didn't have us in the head. Yeah. First artist from me here, birthday badge, man.
Starting point is 00:06:59 Oh, he had a birthday bash now. I ain't there with a party in a way. Where's the little page to party person? Don't worry about that. TVA. TVA, just lie? Just slide.
Starting point is 00:07:14 Don't worry about where's that. Just pull up. B. B. You. Damn, but DPU is tough for your birthday party, man.
Starting point is 00:07:22 Get well soon. I see with the music, man. got you into DJ. Man, it's crazy. So I went to Howard University. Actually, with my daughter right here, Ashen, we were there at the same time. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:07:30 Oh, what year? I was 2012. I didn't graduate. I really want to go back to school and get my degree and all that. But I was class in a city out of Howard. Yeah. Yeah, so I was there.
Starting point is 00:07:39 And I was in a school of communications and shit. And I found out they had the W.HBC, like, the radio station. Yeah. So I used to be, like, on the mic, like, hosting shit next to, you know, I had, like, a radio show and all that. And then, like, when artists would come to the school, I'd be, like, the MC on the mic on the mic. like hosting shit, like, all right, coming to and say, that's how I met like Big Sean,
Starting point is 00:07:57 like all these niggas back in like, even like Cole, all them niggas, like, first college runs and all that. I'd be like the emcee, like, you know, egging people on, doing whatever. And I used to be in the club. This is when I was like 19, I used to take my IDs so I couldn't like drink and shit. Damn. I'll be on like an emcee next to the DJ. And I'm like, I'm not going to lie this shit kind of lame a little bit, like to
Starting point is 00:08:15 be like next to the nigga with all like the juice and on. So I was like, you know, I just want to do both. So I like, soul of shit, got a little set up. I would just practice. Because when I first started, I was terrible. And then, like, Howard was like, I'm not going to lie. You kind of tripping. Like, you might stick to the host and shit.
Starting point is 00:08:28 But, you know, I just put the reps in and all that. And I moved up here and then, you know, I figured it out. That HBCU life, man. No, it's different. I can imagine that campus life a little bit different. Yeah. And it's just, like, as a DJ, I credited so much just because, like, Howard was different. It wasn't, like, a local genre.
Starting point is 00:08:42 Like, you know what I'm saying? Like, where if you go to, like, a prayer view back in Texas, it's like, a lot of people from Houston and Dallas go there. So it's, like, more local to that. Howard is like, niggas, niggas from Atlanta, the Bay, Jamaica. So, like, you really learn all this music. Like, it's like a crash course
Starting point is 00:08:54 to just like black culture, hip hop, R&B, whatever. So I really just knew all this different type of shit. My sorrano was loaded just with everything you can imagine, you know, when I left school. So I was just prepared for everything, you know what I'm saying? Damn, you went to, Howard. I went to predominantly white school. How was that experience?
Starting point is 00:09:09 You know what I was? It was different. You know from where I come from. My old school, high school was black, so it was a little different. But to go to Howard, I just know what the mom. parties was like. Like I said,
Starting point is 00:09:20 bro, it's just like, it was like, shout to homie chubby, man. Like, we would, like, had these parties and shit. And, like, every city would have had a turn of, like,
Starting point is 00:09:28 taking over the floor and shit. So, like, you play some, like, Dallas shit. All the Dallas niggas come, do they douging or whatever the fuck. You play some Bay Area and shit. Now it was just like a non-stop
Starting point is 00:09:36 fucking, like, culture clash type of shit. Now, it was loaded. Like, I didn't go to, you get in your bag, actually, make you work. That's what I'm saying.
Starting point is 00:09:42 Yeah. But you're a lot of different. Even, like, freshman week, it's his junker, um, Rep your City. So, like, that's when you first see, you're a freshman, you on the yard, you're just seeing all this shit. You've never seen before. I'm like, who the fuck? Why do these nakers talk like this? And why they dance like this?
Starting point is 00:09:54 You know, you just learn it so much, like, as soon as you get there. So that's like how, that's like the real, like, Howard experience, you know what I'm saying? How old is, they had a BET weekend. 2012, you was a freshman? I was, freshman I was, freshman I was 208. That was my, I walked across the street to vote for Barack Obama. And that's, like, my first month at a highman's special. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:10:11 I was there in the golden years. Yeah, yeah. Kyle and Curtis. Yeah, I seen him out to fire out there. Shout to Carl Rale. And them things was out there, boy. You know that. You know that?
Starting point is 00:10:20 Elite alumni. Real after-farnies, boy. Straight up. Ooh, that was swag surf area too. I know you're like that. All that, filthy shit. Like when that shit actually came out, like no hands, all that shit. I know when you dropped that while later.
Starting point is 00:10:32 Generational shit. Mm-hmm. Instane, bro. Not for real. While we hear, what's the wildest request you ever got to play in the club or in the setting? I mean, even just last night, but like, I told, man, And some girl holding up her phone with R. Kelly on the Joe. It's just like, man, we're not about to do that right now.
Starting point is 00:10:47 Hey, honestly, Robert is where he is. Hold on, what's on? He's just empty things. I was like, oh. He's holding him his name. I was like, hey, shout out to him. He got a big fan, apparently, man. They're going to those songs and fire.
Starting point is 00:10:59 I ain't a lot. Did you transition from their rap to R&B? He's in there. He's in there. He's in there. It's been really big to that. He's like, he's like, I really want to be there.
Starting point is 00:11:11 Play Honey Love in there. You know, remixed the, you know what I said? Remixed the ignits. I'm playing remixed. That is fraud. Chats for respect to the brand, though. You can't believe it. It's just like, man, you know what I'm saying? You just trying to be on camera, like, doing all that.
Starting point is 00:11:27 No, for sure, for sure. I mean, I think there ain't none worse when, like, you in the club, you see somebody drunk, like, play this song. You know, it happens. It's, like, getting worse and worse. Like, it's not progressed. Now they got, like, different apps in your phone to, like, for the camera can flash and shit. Like, it's, like, showing somebody name. It's, like, flashing in your face.
Starting point is 00:11:41 It's, like, disrespectful. at this point. Like, it's wild. The bottle service for song requests? Yeah, no, for real. Nasty work. But I'm saying if I was an upcoming artist, I can't hit your hand to play my song? No, I don't do that no more, man.
Starting point is 00:11:51 I don't do that. That is good, too much of us. Yeah, that's like this. Oh, you get hit Del. That is my favorite song. Get them too bad. That's all up here, because. But was that at least the thing at Howard?
Starting point is 00:12:08 Um, you was trying to get your name going, like, you have a lot with the, even. And just like, Howard was one thing, bro, but just the D.C. area was a whole different thing. Like, when you leave that campus, you in D.C. Like, it's not no... Some fact. You, you out there in them trenches with them, with them real niggas.
Starting point is 00:12:23 So it's... Sometimes it was definitely some altercation type of line. My man just really needs you. You know what I'm saying? To play this shit. You're going to play this shit. Or else. Yeah, for real.
Starting point is 00:12:33 That's how D.C. get down. Much respect to it. But, yeah, yeah. When you lead that campus, you are a citizen of the District of Columbia, my name. I respect. How is that go-go music out there? So that shit is like, man, that's like one of the things that I respect DC so much about is just like their like lens of just like being different and just creative and shit. Like that's some shit you would never hear in your life unless you went to DC.
Starting point is 00:12:54 I remember I think it was a boost mobile joint on the corner, wasn't it actually? It was like a 14th of you or some shit like that. Out to Boost Mobile. Yeah, that was like a booth mobile. And they would have go go just playing all day. We had these big, two big ass speakers. Some people want sometimes. They would just be playing that shit all day, bro.
Starting point is 00:13:09 I know that's why that's a big thing. Yeah, no, yeah. They like remixed. Every song, like, some shit spin that shit, spin that shit. They do it. Don't fuck my song up, because. Nah, bro, go-go. Go-go music.
Starting point is 00:13:24 Fug-in the song. Go-go music. Big the everything. Fuck her. Really? No, with Go-Go music, bro, that's powerful out there. No, yeah. Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:13:37 No, sure. No, sure. No, sure. No. All right, man. What was that moment when you feel like, all right, man? I'm getting nice to the DJ show. You started getting recognition.
Starting point is 00:13:44 Like, okay, my peers and people I rock with started telling me love. Man, it was just like the whole era. It's even just like being in New York right now, like New York ain't New York like this and like mad long, right? So I remember I got the call to DJ. There was like some DJ canceled at, it was the Derby back then.
Starting point is 00:13:59 It's like 2014, 15, some shit like that. And I got the call to DJ there. And so I did my thing with I was playing like, man, you know, shit, I'll play a Howard. And then the next day there was like, can you come back? And they were like, All right, today, gonna be like a little more commercial than yesterday.
Starting point is 00:14:13 And I'm like, what the fuck is it's commercial? Like, I really didn't understand that the time. They were like, top 40. I'm like, what the hell is top 40? So then I literally was like in the middle of the DJ set, just downloading everything from like the billboard, whatever, and just like mixing it in as best I could. And incorporating like the rap with it.
Starting point is 00:14:26 And that's when it was like, all right, this thing might be pretty talented. So, yeah, I used to be there like every, pretty much like two, three times a week. Then they closed it to turn it into up and down, which I think. And my personal, like, club life is still like the best club to ever exist. Okay. And my entire shit. shit, I probably did Thursdays there, like, every Thursday for like seven years or something like that. It was just, and the thing is, like, back then it was like people albums always come out,
Starting point is 00:14:50 you know, like Thursday night, midnight, whatever. So you come to New York, do your press, and then everybody after party would be at up and down. So, like, Nick, it was every week with just somebody album, come to do the after party. So it was just like a rotation. And when you had that little string, you're like, you know what I'm saying? That's when I was like, all right, this shit rocking out. Like, I'm good, you know. Now to jump around.
Starting point is 00:15:06 Is it hard to play new music in the club or like, was something just dropped unless it's like a major artist? It's tough. Like, people just aren't as, like, hip to shit as you think. You know what I'm saying? Like, even I was playing some of future shit last night. And, you know, people know it, but it's like, it's not just the entire crowd that really just, you know,
Starting point is 00:15:20 but that's a part of, like, breaking records and breaking artists. They still got to have, like, the confidence to do it. So, you know what I'm saying? You ever have a service with you? Or they wouldn't fucking with you? Not booed. Nah. Like, me, it's just like, you heart of yourself more than anything.
Starting point is 00:15:31 Okay. I'm gonna just thinking shit up. You know what I'm just, like, you just not as. I feel like every DJ kind of goes through just, like, like yearly slumps of just like, yo, I'm going to ass. You know what I'm saying? Because it gets repetitive. You feel like you're doing the same shit,
Starting point is 00:15:42 so you switch from that shit to be different. And it's like, nah, this shit ain't working, you know? So it's not been times where I just, you know, wasn't thinking like the highest of myself. But then you just, you know, come back and have a great setting and, you know, go from there. I know you got a bunch of sets on that other than guaranteed winners, though.
Starting point is 00:15:56 Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, for sure. I'm about to say, dude, you got, like, a song that you thought was a slap. And, like, because I, I, and I, you know, I DJ my house parties. Yeah. It's songs. It's true.
Starting point is 00:16:06 With my head that slap. Yeah. And then when I play for everybody else, everybody that's shit. Yeah. Go on say it. Right. And it's stuck back in the area when you was a Howard.
Starting point is 00:16:19 That's his all around. He getting his bag. He'd do well. Yeah, yeah. But when we start hitting 16, 17, 18, it's quiet. Yeah. It's quiet. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:16:30 It's wild now because, like, just even being in clubs and all that, It's like now, you know, being 36 is like, the club isn't like catered to us no more. Hell no. Hell no. Hell no. We're the old niggas in the club, loki. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:16:43 So, like, now it's like the new, like rich niggas, like the new athletes and shit, they run in the shit, they bind the bottles, whatever. And they want to hear the shit that they were too young to party to, it's like, oh, hell yeah. Like, you know what I'm saying? I grew up to it here and now is in the club. To them it's like, oh, yeah, play like some like 2016 Ouzi or some shit. Like to them, that's like, oh, yeah, I remember being in middle school, high school,
Starting point is 00:17:01 and this was this shit. And now I'm old enough to really go up with this shit. So, like, it's like a resurgence of all that. You know what I'm saying? And the youngsters are, you better not play the Uzi right now. Boy, we're going to hear baby sheep, dude. We want to hear all the real slaps. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:17:12 But you said to Nyes and Shouts and Nause, he is a legend. But if you are playing Nyes and the club, it is getting dry up and there. And I know, Chase is chasing for, Ochiwala. Yeah. That's a little, a little of a little of Uchiwala. That's a little. That's right. Wow.
Starting point is 00:17:29 Yeah. Yeah, most of them are getting 90 seconds out of them shit anyways, for real. Yeah, that's why this is, you gotta give them the game. Yeah, what's too long to play a song in the club? Man, it's such a delicate, fine line, bro, because a lot of times, like, you can even tell this with DJs, like, if you actually know the music,
Starting point is 00:17:47 sometimes you might get something out of a second verse that most songs don't. And a lot of niggas will just cut that shit off because they think it's like, ah, I just nigger clearly don't actually know the music, you know what I'm saying? Like, some songs need a second verse, but usually it's like hook verse, hook, get out of there, you know?
Starting point is 00:18:00 So it's like 90 seconds. Yeah, I'm going to be, a lot of DJs be fell in knowing that. Like, you know what in the blend and mix and switch. Yeah, like, like, music guys. Like, I'm like a music guy first. Like a DJ. Niggas be DJs and not like music guys.
Starting point is 00:18:14 That's what thing about that. When you pull up, you'll see, we get a lot of praise for our DJs because they blend real well. They transition real well. We'd be having some crazy mixes in the city. But, like, in the club, you'll hear something.
Starting point is 00:18:22 You may have heard before the way that they just transition. Yeah. Be fired enough to you. But all right, I can focus on this old ass on. Yeah, it's all about delivery for us. all about delivery at the end of the day, like sneaking in, like them classic joints and all that. So, you know, that shit just be fun. I'm never going to get tired of it for real.
Starting point is 00:18:35 We're going to get back to the music shortly, man. We got to talk about it, man. New collab on the way with the Lids family. Shout to Freaky Fair, my God, for show, man. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That collaboration process, like, man, building your own hats, man. Man, that shit fun, bro. So I met, shout out to Lawrence Berger.
Starting point is 00:18:48 He's the chairman. I met him in Philly probably like two, three years ago. And he walked in. He was like, yeah, I heard you the guy got to talk to about hats because I always just been like a hat-snie guy. that's just walking my shit. And he was like, yeah, like, we should do something. So I actually went to Indy where the headquarters is at. And with them, they were like,
Starting point is 00:19:04 they wanted me to do like three like Houston colorways, like for the Astros or some shit. And I was like, I kind of had like some of the ideas of my sleeve, whatever. So I had the idea for the first, like the what they had, the maximal joint. And honestly, I was surprised at how like easy and seamless, like they made that creation to be because there's different fabrics and all this different like type of satins and shit
Starting point is 00:19:21 that they had never used before. But shout out to Jason. man, he's like a super talented, just like fucking design, graphic designer, all that. So he made that shit come to life. And, yeah, we released it March of last year, and that shit just flew off the internet, flew up the shelves. And then from there, Lawrence is like,
Starting point is 00:19:38 now we got to make this bigger than like a partnership. So that's how the whole creative director shit came about. And it's been a beautiful process for real. So, yeah, I just love, you know, just creating, getting ideas off, getting other people involved. I want to get all involved. You know what I'm saying? Like, it's like a whole thing.
Starting point is 00:19:51 Yeah, they were. I guess so while we here before even get to the collab. You're talking about the hats, you know what's top three, top four, top five hats for you, you know what I'm saying? You can go old school logos to this fittest or whatever. Top three, top four, top five. We've been having some arguments on here about them. This black socks hat, we feel like they're like one of the most
Starting point is 00:20:07 defeated hats in MBA history. Like I want to start... I mean, MLB history, excuse me. Yeah, yeah, I want to start foundationally. I feel like the Navy Blue Yankee is just... Fat, Navy Blue Yankee, Grey Bottom is just, you know, just go to. I want to say the... Honestly, I'm going to go...
Starting point is 00:20:23 Because it means so much to this culture, I'm gonna just go straight up the green and yellow athletics. I feel like that's just... Hot-tier hat. You know what I'm saying? Even if you're not from Oakland, I just feel like that's just... It's like the hat that you want to color pop with.
Starting point is 00:20:35 Like, you're wearing all gray or some shit. You still put on the Oakland A's and just go crazy with that. I think the Montreal Expos, pinwheel, red, white, and blue is just... Mm-hmm. Into the culture. Especially back in, like, oh, three, five days, you know, wearing it with like a Nets jersey
Starting point is 00:20:48 or some shit like that. It's super important. Me, just personally, I'm gonna go with the burgundy. Broken Star Astros hat I would have had It's probably Matt Pieces on the internet I would have had probably every day for like two years for real
Starting point is 00:21:02 That just means a lot to me And if I was to pick a fifth one MLB I can go any scene Yeah Any team Yeah you can go any team Because NBA has me fire too
Starting point is 00:21:13 So you didn't say that Cincinnati Red Yeah I was that one I'm gonna say that's a staple I don't know I know I'm gonna be some menwets
Starting point is 00:21:19 But that's just Anyone All Red the Black the Red Bill Yeah Yeah And the Pirates joint. That was a... Pirates is tough.
Starting point is 00:21:27 We met the Pramette Pike. And that was that, the yellow bill pirate. Yeah, yeah, that's a lot of defeated. Seattle Mariners hat. Yeah, yeah, yeah. The blue joint? You can't wear that everywhere. That's what I'm saying.
Starting point is 00:21:38 That's another thing, even picking teams for the collabs and shit, it's like... Yeah, like, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, you picked me a lot. Really? Oh, man. Oh, me.
Starting point is 00:21:50 Really good. Real woman, it's it. But real, digger. But, but, um. Another hat, you know, honestly, just on top of my head, I think the Raiders hat is just super important. Like, you know, like, NFL, yeah, get another league in there. I think the Raiders hat is super important.
Starting point is 00:22:04 Man, the snapbacks really kind of get, I ain't going to say get Fitters out the way, but did it change, like, everybody's perception of buying that stuff? Because, I mean, fittest for a long time was goaded. It was the only option. And then, like, oh, no, I came with the T's a snapback and it like that. Then it just changed.
Starting point is 00:22:18 Is it still a battle there? It's not really a battle anymore. I think Fitted culture came back stronger than, like, ever, for real. That's a fact. I was even talking with, about that yesterday how like the MOB just got more receptive to accepting like you will never see like a like a age hat and like a Yankee color way you know like that wasn't a thing but then the MLB started like approving all of these different like colorways and logos so that's when Fitter Has really came into like what you see now you know like the hat clubs of the world and you know Liz HD and all these like custom um you know hat designers and shit like that stuff like that stuff up you know hat designers and shit like that's got that shit popping bro so This show is brought to you by our betting sponsor, Hard Rock Bet Sportsbook.

Starting point is 00:28:54 So I fuck with one more. Nah, he's a legend. Not dead ass. You see they, uh, on some Houston shit. You see they shot, finally shot the video for the most of it he done. That shit, wholeheart, bro. More artists didn't do that, bro. Yeah, just bring it back all the way for the culture and all that.
Starting point is 00:29:07 Yeah, I saw the video. It's cool. You know what I wish more of it was in most of the city. I didn't even see the most of the logo in the video. But you know what I'm saying? I'm just glad Zero getting his recognition for a song now. We've been rapping word for word for the last 20 years, like literally. Damn, so people bring them back their old songs and back in video.
Starting point is 00:29:21 I say, do or not, do that. Yeah. Yeah. And it was cool. Yeah. There's no rules of this shit, bro. They're getting the master's back. Getting the master's back.
Starting point is 00:29:30 That's what they're doing that is. I rather them do music videos and then we're doing the song. Not for real. Because some of these old niggas are doing songs, but I never playing this version, bro. Respect. I hope you get all your money, but that shit is. Not getting played my Apple music. No, at all.
Starting point is 00:29:41 Don't remix. I got five on it. Even just like to sample it now, I was getting sold. Like the way they got on, every song is just crazy now. Like, you know what I'm saying? The songs don't even get five, six years before somebody sample it, redo it, cut the hooky game, I'm saying? So it's getting wild.
Starting point is 00:29:57 I wanted to ask you, man, how was that time back to the music like when you did your first tour show, the big tour show. But what's the first tour? Man, it was a try. We opened up for Casey Veggies, bro. You can't just like say that like that. Tall Toll. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:30:11 That was what tribe. Drive has a slow walk, though. No, I'm just saying, but like... I'm saying, you know what I'm saying? I mean, that's how... That's a home boy. That's like me saying, yeah, I was a big hang other day. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:30:22 You know what I'm saying? But for real, like, I wouldn't be a tour DJ if it wasn't for, you know, Trave, like, you know what I'm saying? We grew up together and all that. I'm going to just be somebody's tour DJ. It was, like, literally because we had a mission, you know what I'm saying? Locked in. Yeah, we just locked in.
Starting point is 00:30:34 I wouldn't just DJ for somebody else. Honestly, touring is like hell of tiring and shit. You know what I'm saying? Like, it's a big responsibility. but, you know, for the culture and for our mission, it was not necessary, so. How did he start, bro? Like, nigga, the venues be little, nigga,
Starting point is 00:30:48 them sheds be small. We had a show in Connecticut one time, nigga, at Toad's Place, which is like a legendary venue out there. Nick, the, it was probably six people in the crowd. We did the show in the DJ booth. Like, literally, everybody standing next to me jumping on top of the shit.
Starting point is 00:31:01 We did the show in the booth because there was nobody there. You can see the video from like South by Southwest, probably like four or five people in the crowd, and they just put that work in, grind, you know what I'm saying? Put singles out, features. Hell yeah. We're a tour for everybody.
Starting point is 00:31:11 And then, you know, you look up and, you know, he was a solid fan base of the shit. My cousin Ponce. You just talk about him all the time. Like, bro, we got one and he was something. Yeah, bro. Yeah, man. Yeah, I ain't had nobody since Slim Thug.
Starting point is 00:31:22 Yeah. He said, nah, they're brewing. They brought in the new. It was true. It was dry for, like, new, like, superstars out the city. You know what I'm saying? So you've been on trash since the gate. Yeah, yeah, we know.
Starting point is 00:31:31 Now, that's hard, man. Yeah, man. Yeah, man. And it's crazy because now got a crazy influence from Houston. like all the type of southern DJs and music stuff like that alone but Houston for sure like that run
Starting point is 00:31:39 I mean obviously still going crazy but that particular run like the Swisher House run was insane and like all didn't went crazy in that bro you go to Houston it's still like
Starting point is 00:31:49 it's that time for it like you go to a basketball game who performing a half time slim law wall thing it was still everything that shit for real it's kind of crazy
Starting point is 00:31:56 that's why I need to be yeah no I can still play this that's fine how was the city during those times because you were old enough
Starting point is 00:32:04 to really get some real experience I was in middle school, we was in the area of like, I didn't have no money in none, but we in the area just like going, getting some cheap ass grill from like Sharpstown all that type of shit. Like, we was really in it, you know, like seeing these don't. It was a very influential, bro. No, for real.
Starting point is 00:32:17 It was a great time for real. And I don't like revisionist history because people try to backtrack what Mike Jones was not. Mike Jones was that nigga. He was that nigga. He was that nigga. Everybody know their phone number still to this day, bro. You still got to stay locked in.
Starting point is 00:32:28 You call that bitch right now? He might answer that motherfucker. No, I'm not talking about. Mike, you got something. That phone really was working. Well, Spoffel, come on Mike Jones. I didn't know that. I thought that was just a boy.

It was around selling mixtates out their trunks, all that. It was like a whole thing. That was a whole thing.

Starting point is 00:33:34 I respect it. Yeah. And I know we just, we talk it all over the place, but how did you leave TSU and go to Howard, but what was that decision? You know, I was, so, um, yeah, I was, you like a basketball recruit.
Starting point is 00:33:45 Yeah. No, that. So, uh, I was actually, I was running track in high school. And, um, okay. I went up to Howard to take a visit.
Starting point is 00:33:52 And I actually got an uncle that lived on, um, I forgot what street he was on. It was, like, close to Georgetown and shit. And I just went to his crib, just, like, soaked up all the game, whatever.
Starting point is 00:34:01 And, um, yeah, just saw it like the, it felt like the, Because my family really from out here, Michael Molder, from Jersey. Okay. A pops from Connecticut. My whole family from, like, Harlem, Jersey, Philly, like, all that shit.

Starting point is 00:34:23 And it's just, like, a new experience. So I was just like, whatever this is right here, like, I want to, like, see this through for us. So that's why I just decided. TSU. I just asked That's a beautiful place Yeah

Man, Don Tulliver, man, if I was to put you on, my favorite person with Don't Talover album is Life of a Don. Just all the, like, swing on Westheimer. That's no photo.
Starting point is 00:36:39 Classic. Way bigger, five times. That's all the classics. Heaven and Hell, start from the, you know, from the foundation. That's, uh, had enough and after party, you know. Cardigan, you know, it's joint. Oh, they talk about Cardigan a lot. I brought in the club in Houston.
Starting point is 00:36:54 Going that drop. What song was, we was in a party one time, and y'all was like this? E, 80. He's fire, bro. That's the, nigga. It's over again. That's their gospel music, bro. Every part of their mouth put their drink in the sky, bro,
Starting point is 00:37:05 and lost their fucking mob. He was in that night, too. Well, he'd be everywhere. He was. That was DJ. He was. He was. He was.
Starting point is 00:37:18 He was. He fired and drive, bro. I promise you. The DJ, I don't want to say disrespect, but he wasn't mixing. I was talking. He dropped there, bro, the whole energy. It don't matter.
Starting point is 00:37:26 Yeah, no matter. The vibe changed. That's the, that's the same. on the like, oh, I'm fucking up. Hey, just give me to, just get y'all this one real week. For sure. But, yeah, just the whole octet out before the show, you know what I'm saying? Just catch a vibe, have a little short of you, I'm saying.
Starting point is 00:37:37 Blast of red, grass, white, play that joint. She's going to be smooth all the way through. So I'm married me. I'm proud of the crowd, man. We were just looking around. I was just like, it ain't nothing but beautiful people enjoying this music right now. Literally, it just.
Starting point is 00:37:48 It's just, it's just, what are you? What are you? Beautiful people, digger. Beautiful people, d'nig. Their hole was in their boy? They were the bull. They were the whole black woman. Shout to all my beautiful black woman, man.
Starting point is 00:38:06 You know what I'm a beautiful. Oh, that's true. I can't say the word I want to say. It was true, for sure. It was in there, no, for real. It's crazy. It's a state, like an arena full of just joints is crazy. You don't have in the time of their life.
Starting point is 00:38:21 And what's crazy, the whole camp, like, all y'all going crazy, individually and together, like, you, drab, darn, everybody else, like, locked in. Yeah. Even with you, man, with the P. What's that feeling like you get your old shoes, my boy? Man, that was the funnest process, man, like, ever for real. Just even, like, sampling out shit for the first time. There's, like, a couple other colorways that we sampled out and just,
Starting point is 00:38:39 it was an interesting thing because I never, like, you can go on, like, 2K shoe creator and, like, and colorways some shit. But then, like, you get the shoe, like, maybe I want this backtow to be swayed because, like, it's a little more comfortable on my heel. Or, like, little shit like that. Like, all this brush swayed ages better than, like, a leather or something. So it's all these little details that you never really, like,
Starting point is 00:38:58 the eyelets need to be. color instead of whatever. So it's a whole much of little details like going to it. And then just the final product for people to receive it and like actually wear them and want to wear them. You know what I'm saying? That's like a whole different problem. I think that's like my favorite part is like niggas really stepping out to like special
Starting point is 00:39:11 occasions with your shit on. You know what I'm saying? That's shit hard. So, you know, I was like my favorite shit was designing that shoe and just the whole process of the release parties and everything. Shout to Jordan, man. You know what I'm saying? We're going to keep it going.
Starting point is 00:39:23 I know we're getting slim on time, man. But I want to ask you, would you enjoy more DJing or producer? I'm not going to lie. That's a great question. I enjoy, I'm always going to be a DJ first, man. I'm always going to be a DJ first. That's just what I'm, you know, I think that's like God's, you know,
Starting point is 00:39:39 that's why he wanted me on this earth to do for real. But producing, I even got into producing. It was like a step forward, like how I said, like the MC shit turned into the DJN because I wanted to like, you know, be a part of this musically instead of just like vocally. Now as a DJ, I'm like, oh, I want to play my own shit too.
Starting point is 00:39:55 You know what I turned in. Start making beats. I made beats for like a good five years before. even sent anything out because I was like, I know these shit to ask. Like, I do you know what I'm saying? I'm saying? My practice of whatever. And then turn it to putting the whole album out and, you know, doing songs for the homies. Gold, black, and black shit, shit, all, bro. Real deal. Yeah, yeah. So it's just important just to contribute, you know what I'm saying? All my thing now is, like, contributing to sneaker culture, the
Starting point is 00:40:18 hot culture. I looked up to niggas like my big brother Clark Kent. R.P.ian, man. You know what I'm saying? DJ AM was like a huge influence on me. I don't know if you know. Yeah, we had the kicks back in the day. He's like, it was like an all-encompassing thing. It wasn't just about the music. They're obviously extremely talented, but it was about being more than a DJ. That's what Clark was always about.
Starting point is 00:40:35 It was like doing, you know, even sitting down with creators like, y'all and like really spreading culture. And, you know, with the sneakers and with the hats and just representing New York City the way he did. You know, it was like much bigger than just like music and DJ. And it was like being an entity. And, you know, he also told me about how to get this bread too.
Starting point is 00:40:51 He was like, man, he needs to charge these niggas some more money. Like real. He straight up was like, you need to be out here. nigga DJing foot lockers for 25,000 shit like that. I'm like, I didn't even know that was possible. I wanted to be on the radio. Yeah, I'm saying, for real. What number was you comfortable at the time when he told you?
Starting point is 00:41:05 Damn. He's looking for the price for his party. That's what he was. I'm talking about it. But, nigga, how wasn't when you first started? No, what was the first ticket? Nigel what? Let's go.
Starting point is 00:41:16 Look, back to the gap. I used to do, this place, Santos's Party House. And I was like everybody's first show would be there. Like, I remember it was like, even, like, all the SoundCloud shit, like, Chief Kee's first. show would be there, like Fredo Santana, like that. And I'd be like the owner DJ.
Starting point is 00:41:30 And that's how I really got my name out to because my name was always on the flyer, like sounds by whatever. But I was doing that shit for maybe 50 bucks. Like, just throw me something so I can get home type of shit, you know? That's hard, bro. Yeah, nah. That's why I really respect New York City because I used to be, niggas, sleeping in Penn Station, no bread, trying to get back to Jersey,
Starting point is 00:41:46 all that shit, you know, just trying to get like a little bit of chicken and it just turned into, like I said, with that club up and down. It's really grounded, bro. Yeah. But like you say, one of the early travel shows, when it's just six people that people don't see that, people think it's Instagram. People think, I'm posting pics.
Starting point is 00:41:58 I'm letting it now. Now, now people took years to get to that much, right? It's probably in the mud, from the mud, bro. 100%. It's necessary. It's all character development.
Starting point is 00:42:05 I enjoyed every minute of it, for real. It was like, I never thought like, oh, what if this shit don't work out. It was like, nigga, I'm just taking hells right now. We're going to turn these shits up. Ain't nothing, you know? Yeah, yeah. Like we said before reporter, boy,
Starting point is 00:42:14 y'all seen that first broadcaster we had with the podcast, boy, it was wicked, boy. It was ghetto. while I got you here, bro, if you could take three artists and make a dream song, who are you picking? Oh, shit.
Starting point is 00:42:24 Dream song? Yeah. Man, first of all, man, I'm not going to lie. I don't even know how this is going to sound sonically, but I got to get Stevie Wonder on some shit just because of Stevie Wonder. I'm always going to say him first.
Starting point is 00:42:36 Out the gate. I think some Stevie chords, some Farrell drums, shit like that. We can put Farrell in there. And then who's like a, I'm going to say some shit like. Honestly, I'll say like Q-Tip.
Starting point is 00:42:50 You know what that would sound like, but that's three niggas if I was to put, like, some shit together, pause, it would be... For real, to make that happen. Forrella, make that happen. Yeah, I probably don't listen to that shit. I'm gonna lie. Yeah, I'm gonna say, hell.
