You know what I'm saying? Keebis, something like that.
Starting point is 00:11:09 And I put it out and it got great feedback. And I just kept dropping them, you know what I'm saying? We 10 plus years on the Kits project. I just dropped the Kits' last shit. We went on tour with that same thing. So that shit just stuck, bro. And the female, they're going to buy the record. They're going to buy everything up.
Starting point is 00:11:24 They're going to make sure of them being you filled up, you know what I'm saying? So when I, you know, when I caught winning of that, I just kept going on with this shit. That's falling line, my shit. That's falling line. Man, what? That'd be hard. I made it by that girl that was in the studio that same day. I was talking about her.
Starting point is 00:11:37 She was, I'm recording. She's in the lines. And she's getting a motherfucker-nurted nurse. I don't be like, because you got falling in line. So I'm talking about her. I'm talking about her. I shot there. You know what I swear God.

Starting point is 00:12:40 But now, oh, shit, I feel like the first time I heard myself on the radio, though. You know what I'm saying? Because before I heard myself on the radio, we was outside. Four, five times a week in the clubs. you know what I'm saying going down to Alabama North Carolina's you know what I'm saying running around this shit just outside and when I first heard myself on the radio I was like okay cool like
Starting point is 00:12:57 some of that worked and paid off now it's time to get some money because when I heard myself on the radio I was still broke so I had to figure out okay cool outside of my neighborhood you know what I'm saying called Mirriette and they know me now I was trying to find out of really get some money out of this shit was it cut around all night oh okay

Starting point is 00:13:43 Not even money. You don't perform money? Not, not. Money baby for show. Money baby, Cull, all that, all that classic shit for sure. Oh, yeah. I can't do a show without doing that shit. You know what I'm saying?
Starting point is 00:13:53 But. But for, like, all, no, not everything, but like, like, for example, my last tour is a Kitsitsit store, you know what I'm saying? How am I dropped? So you got to be mindful. Like, they're coming for that album. So I, you know what I can't be doing all the old shit.
Starting point is 00:14:09 So I try to sprinkle it in just to keep that, you know what I'm saying, that that feel. But, yeah. That's what I always wanted to wonder, I mean, wanted to ask artists, too. Like, yeah, you're named the. You know what I mean, the tour, the tape or the album. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:14:21 But how is that process work? Because you gotta. You got to do some. I got to play the slater. I love the tape. Yeah. But I got my bitch. You got to.
Starting point is 00:14:30 I'm trying to relit that Maryland. Exactly. And that's what I'll be thinking about here. Hey, when I do that song, but they had like that shit brand new, every time I perform that month. I got, man, y'all got coming on my shoulder, bro.
Starting point is 00:14:40 That shit is not a show. My cousin went to your one. I think he was in Chicago. We were loaded. I was fucking with these n'iard. Chicago were loaded. Yeah, bro. He taught me it was a good-ass tone
Starting point is 00:14:49 He really got an intimate Sadden in your shit, for sure sure. You talk about, you know what I'm saying? People, especially women, you know what I'm saying? By the records and support. What's I like knowing that you had such a strong
Starting point is 00:14:59 fan base like them? Because you look at any TikTok any social media real, bro? Yeah. They fucking with your music. You're the soundtrack for a lot of shit. For sure. It's crazy because when I first
Starting point is 00:15:10 like really got into that, I didn't really want to do the songs for the female. You know what I thought that shit was just like, yeah, because that was my vibe. That wasn't. the niggas I was around, they wasn't on there, everybody listening to Young Ralph, Dahl, you know, everything trotted out.
Starting point is 00:15:23 So, you know what I said? When I kind of start leaning toward the female records, them niggas ain't want to hear that shit, you know what I'm saying? So I was like, ah, I shouldn't get you fuck with it. But like I said, when I tapped in with the kids' projects and the reaction, you didn't got from the fans and, you know what I'm saying? When I used to try to, like, lean towards another side, they'd be like, man, drop that kiss, drop that shit, you know what I'm saying?
Starting point is 00:15:41 So I was like, okay, I ain't going to just ignore this shit because it's what they want to have to get to them. So that turned into, like, you know what I'm saying, a vibe, bro. Do we feel like two different careers or two different audience or two different, like, creation processes when you're doing music
Starting point is 00:15:54 that you want to do in them? Yeah, yeah, yeah. You're doing cater to. I'm saying, I got some shit dropping there's money. It's super hard. I can't, um, yeah, can't tell y'all who was with,

Starting point is 00:20:29 So how did we actually come up with a name Hey Jonas, guys? I honestly don't remember. I think it was on a call about what we should call it. Oh, we were thinking I'm originally calling it one of the early names of our band before Jonas Brothers was... This is how you guys remember it going down? Yes. I have a very different memory of this.
Starting point is 00:20:49 We were talking about a thing, a bit for the podcast, where people could call in and say, hey, Jonas. And then I wrote down on my little notepad, Hey Jonas, and offered it up as a potential title for the podcast. But thanks for remembering that, guys.

Something I'm vived out, waiting for her. Like, so when she comes, it's up, you know what I'm saying? Respect.
Starting point is 00:22:42 So she capped me down. She never pulled up. She never pulled up. I'm still in the studio. I'm still having a photo full of beats. Yeah. I pull up with a fool. It ain't nothing to cut that bitch out.
Starting point is 00:22:55 I just kept repeating that shit. I'm mad. I'm mad. I'm sick. Oh, God. Slicker. Slicker, dude. I ain't trying to be too cool for this shit.
Starting point is 00:23:05 I was slick. Hey, you know, I was like, God, damn the bitch, cat me down. So I'm under my head. It ain't, you know. I'm like, ooh, this shit, kind of. I'm feeling like it. You know what I'm recording? If I'm feeling it,
Starting point is 00:23:15 and I'm like, oh, this shit actually making me feel something, you know what I'm saying? And I just kept going. And I played it for my, I think it was one of my partners. I was like, what the fuck is this? And every time I play something, I did want to my, like, key factor,
Starting point is 00:23:28 but I'm doing music. I might say we just chopping it up. Yeah. I might let the song play in the background. I might just play in the, you know what I'm just a slick shit just to catch a reaction. If I get that reaction,
Starting point is 00:23:38 I'm looking for, that's how I know that's the one. Okay, okay. So cut her off since you through there. Timmy through there. Shout out to her, man. She got me paid. You know, I said, do it again.
Starting point is 00:23:50 Somebody cat me down. It's over for sure. Did she know that was by her, like, bro, said? I don't know. I didn't say in the interviews, but honestly, bro, I swear to God, I don't know who the girl was. I don't know. I do not.
Starting point is 00:24:01 If she was to walk by me today, I would not know who she was. He said, you ain't get none of these royalties. Don't you even blighted that. So did you hit her like, shit, where you at? Were you, you still coming? No, I ain't one of them type niggas. I ain't going to just flood your life. If it's over, it's over.
Starting point is 00:24:16 Well, I'm saying, when did you know she wasn't pulling up? What did you know it was around? Like, 45 minute past. Oh, yeah, she now pulled it up. I'm really kicking in. Okay. What is this?
Starting point is 00:24:29 That one I'm like, okay, she's playing. She's playing. And I was like that last time I talked to her. Be here in DPU, can get wicked, man. For sure. He said, that's the song that got you, you know what I'm saying? Cracking.
Starting point is 00:24:40 What was that for? first purchase, like that first crazy. All right, I got it now. I'm going to do what I always wanted to do. Yeah. To be honest, I didn't really blow my check when I got it on, bro. Smart man.
Starting point is 00:24:49 You know what I'm saying? But I fuck the money out. Don't get a twist. I fuck it up. I think the biggest purchase I made was my sprinter. Because I wanted all my guys to go with a load and shit. And, um, and Cribs in LA, $16,000 a month rent,
Starting point is 00:25:04 you know, I was, fucking it up. That's how I was fucking it up. That's how I was fucking it. I wouldn't like, yeah. You know, I'd buy clothes. You know what I'm saying? I got a Porsche and shit, like, you know, shit that was on my vision board and shit at the time. But I ain't really just fucked my bag up.
Starting point is 00:25:16 I think just life expenses kind of like start hitting that motherfucker. Well, so you was signed? Yeah, Tenorscope. Okay. Oh, signed an end scope. I went independent in 2022. So that was after the song came out and you got some traction or you signed before Cutter Off came out? It was Money Baby first.
Starting point is 00:25:35 Money Baby was before Cutter Off. Yeah. No, actually it would do it with Micromontent. Yeah, that shit right. Yeah, that was in Atlanta, boy. I dropped 200, baby. I was catching traction in the city. Like, that's when the label's.
Starting point is 00:25:48 Gotcha. You know what I'm saying? But I already had cut off, so I leaked cut off and then it went up. But the label was already trying to sign me. So that's how it ended up being like a in the scope situation because, you know, they're going to, it was the best label in the game at the time.
Starting point is 00:25:58 They still were one of the top labels. Yeah. What's, I want to ask, like, just get some game, but what's the difference between your opinion, between you staying independent and signing to a label when you first starting out? When you first starting out? Yeah. Should you go get the bag and bet on yourself?
Starting point is 00:26:16 That's what you got to do with everything for real. But I feel like everybody's situation kind of different, bro, because when I first got signed, and we all started independent when I first got signed. Yeah. That was life to me, you know what I'm saying? Because I wanted to sign my whole career, you feel me? So.
Starting point is 00:26:32 But when I got signed, you know what I'm saying? You go through the tribes and tribulations of it. You know what I'm saying? Of course, I got fame from it. I got money from it. But then I got stuck in a situation. that wasn't working for me, you know what I'm saying, in the long run. So when I finally went independent, I feel like my whole life changed.
Starting point is 00:26:46 I got everything, you know what I'm saying? My business was, so I can't really, people ask me that shit all the time. Like, do what will work for you. You know what I'm saying? If you win a contract with a major, our majors ain't going to fuck you over. You know what I'm saying? If you know your agreements and your term. So I sign young, bro, you know what I'm saying?
Starting point is 00:27:06 And I ain't no shit. I just wanted some money. I just wanted to be in the studio and get drunk. You know what I'm saying? That's 400 know how much I can say on it. No, you keep, this is anything. This is a motherfucker being to your uncooked. Okay, okay, cool.
Starting point is 00:27:16 You know what I'm saying? And fucking rolls and shit. Like, that's the only thing I wanted to do. Yeah, for sure. That's real. You know, that's how this came about. Let me ask you this because you said you bought a sprinter where all your guys can travel with you. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:27:27 As you've gotten older, is your entourage still that big? It's your old. It's over. I remember that shit. I remember that shit. I remember that shit. I remember that shit. That shit starts.
Starting point is 00:27:39 That's what we start. Yeah. That shit started causing. Life started having, you know what I'm saying? Friendships. Ain't friendships no more. Like, man, there's a lot that come with that shit, bro. Boy, that shit started costing.
Starting point is 00:27:49 You, a hotel room. Man, what shit? Let me go and get this. I'm trying to tell you, like, security cameraman, DJ. That's all I need. I mean, when you y'all realize that's too much, though, like. When you see that check? And then, that in, that shit getting thin.
Starting point is 00:28:03 You see, you see, you see that account go down a little further, you know. Value to, you know what I mean? Because, like, to be real, I don't know for me. But, like, you buy the big house, if you got their house in LA for 16,000 a month, because your guy's gonna be with you, me? Yeah. So you're like, they're having a good-ass time, man.
Starting point is 00:28:19 Shit, my shit, keep going down. They ain't worried about shit. They laid on the couch eating cheat on this shit. Now, for real. You start looking like, you know, fuck out that shit. Like, boys, start going off. I don't know. Yeah, it's like you work for other people at that point.
Starting point is 00:28:32 Yeah, they enjoy the pussy. And this shit don't laugh forever. You know what I'm saying? That's the fuck. But you don't know that during that time. You just trying to live because, Yeah, you're fun. This type of life your whole life.
Starting point is 00:28:42 When you get in and you just like, fuck it. But then you're like, hold on. Did you have a moment where shit slowed all the way? Yeah. Yeah. I had one of the moments. I was living in Alpharetto in another big-ass. Doing the same shit I was doing what?
Starting point is 00:28:56 You know what I was? Didn't learn my lesson. You know what I said? And my mama was helping with the management and doing my finances at one point. And she, you know what I said? You hit me with the reality chat. Like, if you keep this shit up, you're going to be in trouble. For sure.
Starting point is 00:29:10 And that one, I just tightened up. We had two bank accounts. I told her the money that I had in this account, make sure the bills pay. I'm going to take this account. And I'm going to do what I got to do. And I did what I had to do. Yeah, I'll take that guy.
Starting point is 00:29:20 They're out. You know what I'm just back. Yes, sir. They're wrong. They're wrong. It's back in action, game. Shout out the money, baby. Like you said, I have a car, dude, so I got to ask.
Starting point is 00:29:32 What portion did you grab? Panama. Uh, Panama. I had that shit on my other business boy for a long time. I just bought this shit cash too I was like I didn't really am I think of like bro I think of like I was a 9-11 yeah
Starting point is 00:29:45 I had that on the vision board yeah I'm what's on call fuck it's never here man oh yeah I think I was it called I love 11 nine I call na I let's let's let's talk I want to ask
Starting point is 00:30:01 with the streaming here obviously the way the things and music is pushed out now is it easier to make music or is it harder to make music no, it's easy to make music it's probably the easiest ever been in music history right now but it's easy to make money in music
Starting point is 00:30:18 no, you know what I'm saying? I don't know if y'all know too much about like the streaming business but just, you know what I'm saying? Just how the royalty rates and the percentage artists get on their own records is just what is the opinion on dollar, huh? What's what I'm saying? How many of strings do you have to give for?
Starting point is 00:30:34 I'm going to get them before this is going to down me? No, of course she in streams. I want to say Apple. I don't want to get it wrong. Either Apple with Spotify, million stream, you go $4,000. So for a million people, listen to your music.
Starting point is 00:30:46 You only get $4,000. Imagine a million. Imagine a million. You know what I'm saying? So the Mav don't really be madf. And so if you're a new artist in the game trying to, you know, make some money, it's going to take you longer
Starting point is 00:31:01 because nobody knows you. So they're not listening unless you're going hand-to-hand, direct consumer saying, hey, this is $10, it's $10. and you're making your money to the right there. Or you got to be established, you know what I'm saying? Like a touring, you got to be a touring artist. You got to sell tickets.
Starting point is 00:31:15 And people got to like, yeah, hard tickets. And people got to like your music. You got to have it like just like one song. Because I know like you drop an album. So it's like $4,000 for one song. Like if you listen to one song a million times? Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:31:26 Yeah. So they can add up. Yeah. You know, million strings on 10 songs. Yeah. Be here, of course, that ain't a lot of money. Oh, man. Not a lot of money.
Starting point is 00:31:39 Yeah, I was going to say that too far. You got the same numbers like that on a podcast? Oh, yeah, but on YouTube, it's a little bit better. It's all about timing. I would say for you too, because if you catch it at a right stride, like, say something like a Shannon Sharp made him to be a cat with. Yeah. When you catch a straw like that, the ads and revenue, that price goes.
Starting point is 00:31:54 Facts. You, and everybody, hour in rhythm, you superseding everything. Facts, facts, facts, facts. Facts, facts. The million-dollar question is like, what's the cost of streaming? It's like, they made the shit up. That's a crazy part. They made the shit up.
Starting point is 00:32:05 Fake-ass shit. They just put together. And we got there, I got our buy it. That's tough, especially as a rapper. I'll be on tour a nigga every day. Yeah, there's an artist, though. You know what I'm saying? I'll be telling these niggas all the time.
Starting point is 00:32:16 The interview, learn your business, you know what I'm saying? It's so many ways to get money in the industry, you know what I'm saying? Who is the industry? Yeah. It's multiple income streams from, like, YouTube, like, so many platforms that you can pull the money from and it's not just streaming, you know what I'm saying? So all artists understand just get your business together. You can leverage, get your credit shit together, go get a loan.
Starting point is 00:32:39 You know what I'm saying? If you really want to, it's ways around to get money if you tighten up your business. If you're just out here just doing bullshit, which we all did. I hear that, I'm a bit the mud. But when I tightened up, the money tightened up too. That's interesting. I've seen somebody talk, I forgot what it was. But shout to them, they were just like the independent artists now look like the wealthier artists
Starting point is 00:32:58 compared to the people that sung. They were just because they have so much control. They do hand-to-head sales. They might sell 20,000 copies of a CD, but that's direct consumer. different story. Yeah. To the, uh,
Starting point is 00:33:08 the Russell just pulled something like that, you know what I'm saying? Like he made, what, a hundred and something something? I ain't really paid,
Starting point is 00:33:14 I seen it like a little clip of up. Yeah, he did. He didn't, independent as a motherfucker but now he was a rock nation, but that shit possibly if you, if you be in the backyard with that
Starting point is 00:33:21 you feel me? If you got a fan base, bro, if you're talking to your people and if they really foote with you, they're gonna, they're gonna, they're gonna spend on the market too.
Starting point is 00:33:28 Yeah. Put on the market. You're from, you're from, you're supposed to, God damn it. You're also for sure. But I'm saying, if you and Cali, you damn near, yeah, 12 games.
Starting point is 00:33:37 But if you and Cali, you don't got to come all the way over here. You know, nab and shit where we are, too. You can fuck the whole state up. Exactly. You run up a bag. Bro, mailbox money, bro. All the people were proud of the fight campaign. That was there early on.
Starting point is 00:33:50 That was very, very flourishing. What's some stuff that you do to stay relevant though to keep you? You know what I mean? In the mix. Do you use social media or do you pop out? Okay. You know what I'm saying? You know what I'm saying?
Starting point is 00:34:01 For a long time, I was behind the scene, bro. I was really just a studio rat. I'm still a studio rat, but I ain't give a damn about the other side of the business. Like the fame side. I just wanted to get paid, do my shit, you know what I'm saying? But as far as the state relevant, you know, PR, I like learn the business. Like, have my PR make sure I'm at Parrish Fashion Week, make sure I'm old. The Grammy's big.
Starting point is 00:34:22 You know, all these, you know, F1 and all this shit that everybody be at. You know what I'm saying? You just pop out, you know what I'm saying? Because I'm going to always do my shit. Like, you know, home base, I'm going to make sure I'm working. My shit, my, I'm giving that product out. You know what I'm saying? I'm going to do my part.
Starting point is 00:34:36 But now the other part is like, all right, let me get in front of these. You just do your shit. This shit, yeah. Yeah, that's scary. We'll turn you up. You know what I'm saying? I was against a lot of this shit for a long time, bro. We know.
Starting point is 00:34:50 I was against me. Why are you in this? We know all these and we know. Oh, we got. We got. We got. What I'm saying? You said what?
Starting point is 00:35:00 Why you was against it, bro? Like... Cud, bro. Like, I don't know. It was just... Anxiety bad, bro. Oh, okay. You know what I'm saying?
Starting point is 00:35:08 In the end, like, I'm a scary shit. It's just like, I'm a private nigger. You know what I'm saying? A nigga might ask a wrong question. I might goddamn say. Like, for example, I just did Justin Leboy. I'm on six shots. You know what I'm on six shots?
Starting point is 00:35:22 You know what I'm on a six shot? When they said it was dropping, I was like, damn, what the fuck did I say in an interview? You know what I'm saying? Like, you'd be like, ah, you know what I'm saying? We get from behind these cameras do it. You feel, me?
Starting point is 00:35:31 A lot of people be doing goofy-ass shit, but I ain't no goofy nigger, but, you know what I'm saying? You might slip up and say some shit you ain't posed to one time, but so that's why I really stayed away for shit. Yeah, for sure. We, me off six shots on this, motherfucker.
Starting point is 00:35:45 It'd be laugh. Well, we might be, you all I said. You got out of crazy. That's when we first started, though. Yeah, if that shit ever gets released or anything, it was good noise, you kept. It would turn.
Starting point is 00:35:57 No, it was terned. No, you don't even have video. Yeah. It gets great. All the hour. Yeah. You know. I think you go about, like, picking your cities, like, when you're planning your tour.
Starting point is 00:36:09 Um, uh, uh, the data in the back end. I don't know, I'm gonna, what the fans are in, really strategic, you know what I'm saying? Not really bullshit in the ride just popping up in a random ass city thinking this is going to come see me, knowing exactly what they had. Have you ever just chose one just like, man, let me add this just to see and they end up being better than you expected? Um. Like a city that you're Yeah, yeah, my agent has You know what I'm saying?
Starting point is 00:36:31 Say I announced a tour And we ain't got a certain city On the line up And people in the comments Going crazy And you'd be like, man, we got to add this city And we add it
Starting point is 00:36:39 And it be some, maybe some fun shit. Now we always talk about the streaming area But now Having the information That you meant I had before Does that kind of help
Starting point is 00:36:48 With something? Hell yeah Yeah Yeah, that's all I do I'm a nerd When it's kind of that shit now Yeah You know what I'm saying
Starting point is 00:36:54 When it's kind of the back end of data All the emails phone numbers like I don't play around with that like that's like our main business model when they, that's the reason why my shit sold you know what I'm saying, type now, pause. That's, yeah, he locked down. Your shit, yeah, right, he locked there.
Starting point is 00:37:10 Yeah, like that. What's the artist that you ain't worked with that you, you know what I tap in with? You know, that question right there, bro. I'm at a point in my stage in my career where I don't need to be chasing that shit no more. Yeah. You know what I'm saying?
Starting point is 00:37:23 If niggies want to rock with me, they're going to rock with me. You know what I'm saying? I'm a type of artist now, like, When I was a young nigga, I always tried to, like, reach out to the niggas I was in front of me going crazy. And some of them fuck with me, some of them didn't. And that shit bothers me for a little while. You know what I'm saying? We all got our idols that we look up to.
Starting point is 00:37:40 Like, damn, I can't wait to get on. Like, fuck with this thing, get the studio, do a song with this nigga, blah, blah, blah. And the shit don't happen. So I kind of, like, change my mindset when it came to this shit. I'm like, okay, cool. I'm going to be the influence and the young OG to the new niggies. And I'm going to set away for the young niggas, you know what I'm saying? And be the way.
Starting point is 00:37:56 If I get on your song, they're stumped. You know what I'm saying? You know what I'm saying? It's the one. Or if I, even if I don't get on the song, if I seem with it. You know what I'm saying? Just that I'm the one you need. Like I can for real or somebody, you know what I'm saying?
Starting point is 00:38:08 A nigga that's just influential. You're like, okay, cool. That's the approach, you know what I'm saying? Listen to other people's music like up and coming. He'd be like, ah, damn, let me holler at him. Yeah, not everybody's shit. Everybody ain't jamming like that. But a lot of nigs be jamming, you know what I'm saying?
Starting point is 00:38:22 But I don't try to get too indulging folks. I like, the only reason I really tune in to a lot of people's shit because I be so locked in on my shit and I be, I got to hear somebody else shit, you know what I'm saying? Because I come from like writing camps like A-Kine, writing camps in Florida with niggas like a little bit of, you know what I'm saying, birthsimmings and niggas like that as foolish, you know what I'm saying? So I like to hear other artists so I can make sure I'm still in my bag.
Starting point is 00:38:48 I was going to ask, how's that feeling now? Obviously, you know, came up in the industry, it's solidified those stuff. Now you've got people who come to you for a certain sound to want that certain vibe and certain aesthetic. Yeah. What's that feeling like, you know what I'm saying,
Starting point is 00:38:56 that you cater to that role for a lot of people. Now, like you said, being an OG for some people. It's a thin line with that one. Okay. A lot of need like steel soft. Oh,
Starting point is 00:39:03 respect. Oh, Lord. A nigga like, this is your way. So these days I'm real picky of who I let in my creative mix, you know what I'm saying?
Starting point is 00:39:13 Because a lot of niggas and came around and just bits of a nigga and just put it on their shit and it was theirs. You know what I'm saying? That's the shit I don't like. But if you're coming around
Starting point is 00:39:21 and you genuinely, genuinely want to work and we create off each other's energy. I'm cool with that. And I don't mind because I'm an artist, but I love making music. I love just hearing new shit. You know what I'm saying? I just started producing three years ago. I make all my beats now, you know what I'm saying?
Starting point is 00:39:34 I have this shit. I'll be making, you know what I'm saying? Like, yeah. My next album produced by media fully. So it's like, I just like being around creative shit, but not niggas who just come around with the wrong intentions. You know what I'm saying? Hell yeah.

Starting point is 00:40:29 We're the first people to do podcasts. Pretty, yeah, pretty wide range of podcasts throughout there. But this one's extra special. So how did we actually come up with a name, Hey Jonas, guys? I honestly don't remember. I think it was on a call about what we should call it. Well, we were thinking I'm originally calling it one of the early names of our band. Before Jonas Brothers was...

Starting point is 00:49:09 Now, I feel like I'll be going to the studio when I feel something. Instead of just being in there, just being that motherfucker, like, I try to be as intentional as I can when it kind of making music, because back in the day, you know what I'm saying, studio rat shit, you and that bit from the morning to morning to morning to morning to shit. So, I don't know.
Starting point is 00:49:27 It's just whatever, you know what I, you know what I do going there, I know I'm going to go in there with something there. I know it's going to hit.

Do you there go dolo now since you're producing and making something to love with.

Starting point is 00:50:10 Nah, I ain't with that. You know what I'm saying? You got to be by myself with them, motherfuckers. It's dope. How do you go about naming the song? This is Merlin Moreau. I was crazy. That's what I named Melo.
