Starting point is 00:00:00 Explain all these tattoos. You got seven? I live my life with Wonka energy. Because you'll remember from Willy Wonka, they're licking the wall and he goes, the schnozberries taste like schnozberries. And the girl goes, schnozberries? Who's ever heard of a schnozberry? She's laughing at his dreams. And he grabs her by the mouth and he says,

Rap game Don Quixote. So I have a destiny fulfilled in the rap game. And I'm out here in Vegas just building this desert money empire. And I'm charged up, dude. So how's the rap game going? I know the music industry is a tough space to be in.
Starting point is 00:01:00 Yeah, dude. It's kind of perfect, honestly, which is why it's my time to strike is it's become this um amalgamation of you have to be an artist you have to be a content creator you have to be a creative director you have to be a digital marketing expert right it's you're fusing all these platforms together so um a lot of people have a lot of artists have started channeling that yeah there's a lot of artists who've done a really good job at it and there's a lot of artists who've kind of fallen by the wayside because they couldn't keep up because you got to be on,
Starting point is 00:01:28 on demon time to get these, to get, to get this going. It's like, I always compare it to like getting a music empire going where you got a team that believes in your vision and you're creating art that you really like have a perspective, a point to like a point to prove and something to
Starting point is 00:01:45 share artistically then um you gotta like it's like trying to keep a feather in the air you're like and you got to get everyone around you to go and you got to keep it in the air right and so um that's what music is it's a constant creative grind but that's why i'm built for it absolutely yeah what did you think of russ going at all the music labels it's dope. People like Russ are kind of what I'm talking about. Guys like that. Guys like Russ. Shout out to what Connor Price is doing on TikTok. I didn't see that.
Starting point is 00:02:10 Connor Price is that kid that does the Spin the Globe series. Okay. And he moved out. He's from Canada, but he moved out here in Vegas and he's making music out here now. Oh, yeah. So shout out to Connor Price because he's just taking TikTok, driven traffic to his Spotify, and he just did a podcast with my first millions podcast. Oh, nice. And I'm an entrepreneur at the end of the day. You know what I mean? Music is just a vehicle
Starting point is 00:02:30 artistically for me to build and to scale and to innovate. And so I look at everything and music is such a beautiful creative expression, but it's also a business. So again, that's why I'm just like so excited about what I got going on absolutely yeah i just saw you perform at nba all-star yeah man how did that happen um you know do you do you do this long enough people start to respect the grind it's it's nifty hustle dude the marathon continues so i've been doing this full-time the music thing full-time five years now i mean my debut single chubby sexy in 2019 you know we're gonna talk about that yeah exactly um i've been doing this on demon time so um i met a good friend of mine clarissa she was doing an incredible

Yeah, exactly. So I grew up in Utah. I always felt like my personality was a little bit too loud for Salt Lake City. And my parents moved to Vegas and I went, welcome to Las Vegas. This is a beautiful change of pace and I fit right in here. So yeah, dude, I met this girl, shout out to Clarissa. She runs an incredible music festival in Utah called Love Loud. And my buddy Austin Mills, the Hollywood hooper, you know, on Instagram out in L.A., he was DJing the event. So I said, what's up, what's up?

I remember we were talking about that earlier, right? So Mark Cuban. that earlier right so mark cuban um so the story is i was listening to the mavs game and somebody was hitting me up on a text and it was like dude i just heard your song luca donchess and it was one of my friends who was a season ticket holder yeah in dallas and so he texted me he goes i just heard your song at the game and i go what what and so i post on my stories i'm like i just got a text did my son was my son luca donchess anybody else like I was hoping some other people would dm me and um and I tagged

You can tell that he's a dude that's down for the culture. He's down for the players. I really respect Mark Cuban. And the fact that he was rocking with my song, so I got a dope clip in the arena. Shout out to DJ Poison Ivy at the Dallas Mavericks. She was spinning it at the arena.
Starting point is 00:04:58 And it was cool to see, like, Luka hooping to my song. Like, that was a cool moment. No, that's legendary. Speaking of hoopers, you also made a music video with Jasonason williams white chocolate that's my boy that's insane west virginia kid he's the coolest dude you'll ever meet um we met at a stance basketball camp shout out to stance socks in san clemente we met at a stance basketball camp and um we just became homies i was like bro you're the man you're the legend you're the white boy legend you know what i mean like guys kids like me growing up like I grew up playing basketball my whole entire
Starting point is 00:05:26 life. I played all throughout high school. I played into junior college. Basketball is my life. You were nice. Oh, I was nice. I got a stroke. What position?
Starting point is 00:05:33 Dude, dude, I was a, I was a, I was like a quick streak shooting, uh, two guard. Okay. My handles, I could play one, but I wasn't, I wasn't even trying to pass the ball. So they put me on the way. Yeah. So I was, I was nice dude. So I played in junior to pass the ball. So they put me on the way. Yeah, so I was nice, dude. So I played in junior college in Central California. And I loved basketball.
Starting point is 00:05:49 I was everything. So I went to the Stance basketball camp, and I met Y-Chalk. And I was like, bro, you're the GOAT. For kids like me growing up, watching you play is like, you made us thought we were popping our shit to your stuff. You know what I mean? And so guys like that, I've been lucky enough to get connected with and be like, how can I help you? How can i help you how can i help you so i just have been lucky to to um connect with people
Starting point is 00:06:10 with a good like like-minded energy of like let's just hang out create cool stuff together on a dope vibe and help each other out and so white chocolate's one of my boys he's the coolest dude he's one of those dudes who like he's just there for the love of the game nice west virginia guy he has the wisest. He's kind of got that Matthew McConaughey wisdom to him. You know what I mean? He's got that laid-back country wisdom to him. So he's a really sharp dude, but he's not trying to show up for the media days
Starting point is 00:06:35 or the interviews or the paid sponsorships, which is why my boy White Chocolate got in trouble back in the day in the NBA. But he wasn't there for all the shenanigans. He was there to get down. So he's just a hooper, dude. Shout-out to love that shout out to jason williams yeah you also hooped with the professor grayson the dude same thing dude white boys like me growing up hooping watching animal mixtapes those guys were my legend so lucky to connect with grayson he's a good dude he came by the camp and showed love and grayson's always been like a really dope dude the professor is
Starting point is 00:07:03 somebody who's just like a humble dude who just built it and transitioned his career. The thing about, again, going back to the music is like a lot of creators and a lot of artists can't keep up. Artists and entrepreneurs aren't always the same thing, which is why now focusing on my music, I see that a lot of artists, they're just not built for it at this stage.
Starting point is 00:07:26 Like you've got to be an all-around artist, creator, digital entrepreneur, creating on demon time with a real strong creative vision and a real strong ambition to do that daily grind. You're an entrepreneur. Like you built it. You know what I mean? You know what it takes. It's one step forward, two steps back.
Starting point is 00:07:44 There's small fires everywhere to put out. And you're just on demon time chasing a vision that only you can see. A lot of artists, and I mean, it's no knock to them, but it's like they just want to make the art. But if you really want to shine, if you really want to show the world what you can do, like I believe I was born to create at a high level, you've got to do it all. And it takes a sacrifice for sure. Yeah. No, I agree. You need a personality these days to make it in the music. You can't just be like a puppet. Yeah, exactly. Exactly. What do you think of just the overall
Starting point is 00:08:14 messaging in the hip hop space? How it's centered around money, drugs. Like, are you a fan of that at all? Everything's about money. You know, you know that just as well as I know that is desert money. That's the goal. We're out here trying that just as well as I know that is desert money. That's the goal. We're out here trying to get desert money because I always say with money comes affluence, right? People with wealth have wealth, have affluence. They're affluent with money comes affluence with affluence comes influence. Once you have influence, then you can get access. And once you have access, you can get an advantage. And that's what it's all about in music, in business. You've got to be a special breed to be a artist, a creator, but also an operator, an entrepreneur. That's what I'm saying. I've crafted this journey. I've been on demon time chasing my dreams because
Starting point is 00:08:59 I was born to create at a high level. And everybody that I've surrounded myself with is $100 million tech entrepreneurs to rap artists to content creators and influencers. I've studied every part of what the internet is, and I'm a part of internet culture, whether people want to acknowledge it or not. I'm a part of internet culture. I pioneered a whole entire wave in influencer culture. So Robbie Tripp, they thought they had the last word, but I'm out here charged up on the most insane vibe, building my desert money empire in Las Vegas. Love it.
Starting point is 00:09:33 And it's fabulous. I'm living the dream. People are rocking with me. I'm the dude you want at the party because I'm just out there to create the dopest vibe possible, and you either can run with it or run from it because it's going to happen. It's going to happen, dude.
Starting point is 00:09:46 I'm out here. Charge up on a dream. Who are your dream artists to collab with? You got a list? Oh, man. I mean, I feel like the dream artists got to be ones that you just are sadly passed on. The dream artists are the ones that in the clouds and the stars when you're creating
Starting point is 00:10:02 that song in the studio at night, those are the artists you'd love to to beam down from the other dimension and uh so it's of course it's like the mac millers yeah um nipsey hustle guys like that they're just like um a light gone too soon i think it would be cool to to you know create a vibe with them but man there's so many artists i'm just out here i've got a strong creative vision and whoever um it kind of i have like an idea for i'm just somebody who chases ideas i respect people who have ideas and then do the laborious strenuous process through the months and the years of being an entrepreneur and a creator to bring that idea into life yeah those are the type of people i respect so if somebody comes into my orbit i'm like you you inspire me there's a muse of some
Starting point is 00:10:50 kind singing to me i can see you being in one of my songs or my music videos let's do something then then that's what it is that's dope yeah walk me through what goes into a viral music video how much money are you spending is there a script oh Oh, you're investing. You're investing all your own money. You're doing it as an independent artist. You are on demon time. You don't have a label giving you chunks of cash. You're either going out of your own pocket. If you're a bootstrap entrepreneur, desert daddy demon like me,
Starting point is 00:11:21 you're just bootstrapping it, doing it out of your own pocket. Been doing it for five years now and you name it artists i've collaborated with black boy jb riff raff dizzy right legends in the rap game people out here have done it on a big scale and they're all rocking with desert money you know because because i'm out here chasing it on the purest vibe. I'm chasing a destiny is what I'm doing. And so what it takes is so much time and resources, which is why people give up. Music is competitive. Shining in any industry is competitive. Music is competitive. And so you've got to really invest time and energy and resources into viral music videos to really get them to pop. And so it's the casting. And I do all my own
Starting point is 00:12:07 casting of the models, curvy and plus size dime piece models only. You like those curvy girls. In my music videos. TikTok viral single, Big Girl Banger, went viral on TikTok last year. Summer of 2022, Big Girl Banger went viral on TikTok. And it goes of 2022, big, big girl banger went viral on TikTok and it goes crazy. And chubby sexy, my debut single in 2019 goes crazy. I have a real, um, I have a real journey to fulfill in the body positive space. Why? Um, my wife is a beautiful curvy plus size, uh, influencer, fashion blogger, one of the most stylish, beautiful people I've ever met. I love my wife.
Starting point is 00:12:48 Shout out to you, Sarah. Sassy red lipstick. And we built this empire. And I always just was like, that's what I was most attracted to, was curvy and plus-size women. So my wife's a beautiful, curvy woman. And I started making this music using her as the inspiration for a lot of my music. So my debut single, Chubby Sexy, in 2019, I dropped that.
Starting point is 00:13:11 It was featured in GQ. It was a really cool moment. A lot of people were just talking about what an inclusive, body-positive song it was. It was like a body-positive summertime smash. Nice. So it was really fun. And then last year, I dropped Big Girl Banger on TikTok. And it it was like a viral single so that was like a really cool moment as well and it was like a lot of the curvy girls on the app were just showing their body confidence showing their body
Starting point is 00:13:33 positivity and uh you know it was like a really cool vibe a lot of girls were rocking with it shout out to the to the old girls and uh you know it was like a really cool vibe so yeah no i'll always feature body positive um size inclusive models in my music videos it was like a really cool vibe so yeah no i'll always feature body positive um size inclusive models in my music videos it's like a part of my art that's like rings really true to me i always have the curvy muse it's really cool because most rappers put the skinny you know tall girls or whatever i know and it's crazy people will come at me in the comments and be like oh this is objectification you're you're you're just showing and sexualizing women. And I'm like, I am literally highlighting and showcasing. You'll notice in my music videos, there's no servitude happening.
Starting point is 00:14:12 These women I'm partying with, I'm having fun with. They're getting their time. They're getting their time to rock it. It's very inclusive and empowering to women. And so I'm shining a light on all these incredible curvy and plus size models who are doing big things in society to shift the focus on what is considered sexy and i'm always going to rock that in my art it's a huge part of what i'm about so um seeing like the reaction to chubby sexy and big girl banger it's been like um like confirmation of that that like yeah so
Starting point is 00:14:41 talking about a dream artist like a lizzo collaboration would be dope right getting lizzo on a track getting a lizzo feature on big girl banger i mean stuff like that would be like really fun to see like full circle moments of people who are like really rocking with my vision yeah that's sick going back to your wife she's got a big following right how did you guys meet we met she's born and raised here in vegas and my parents moved here when i was in vegas so we all had a lot of the same friends. My wife and I met. I was playing basketball in junior college out in California.

Raising our family out here. I'm dad life to demon time. I'm like dad mode demon time. I'm taking my kid to the park. After this, I got a tennis lesson and I'm going down here and doing this interview. And then I'm getting in the booth and I'm spins the hottest verses you've ever heard. And then I'm, I'm directing the color palette of my next music video and the girls I'm casting
Starting point is 00:15:36 beautiful, curvy, plus size, thick goddesses. And I'm going back and forth between demon time, dad mode, demon time, dad mode. And that's what we're doing. How do you balance? That's what it takes. You got to be built different for this you know what it takes sean kelly you're an entrepreneur dude you got to be built different you got to have a different gear this is a battery tattoo i'm charged up i'm charged up explain all these tattoos you got seven shout out to my boy tattoo panda out in miami he tattoos um a lot of really incredible artists bad bunny um jake paul a lot of the latin community uh little pump he tattoos these incredible single needle fine line tattoos so i've got these really dope it's like a 3d battery i've got the buzz light year because

Starting point is 00:16:54 willy wonka yeah exactly willy wonka is one of my he's like one of my spirit guides and so this is uh we are the music makers and we are the dreamers of dreams because you'll remember from willy wonka they're licking the wall and he goes, the schnozberries taste like schnozberries. And the girl goes, schnozberries? Who's ever heard of a schnozberry? She's laughing at his dreams. And he grabs her by the mouth and he says,
Starting point is 00:17:15 we are the music makers and we are the dreamers of dreams. Don't question my vision. I have a creative vision and I will fulfill it. Yep. Yeah, man. What made you want to start a record label? Desert money is my all encompassing media production. It's what it's, you could call it a label. It's what I release all my music under, but, um, you know what I mean? I'm just, uh, uh, I'm a guy that's building is desert money empire on demon time. And it's my
Starting point is 00:17:41 visions while all my music video production content uh go under and so um i've been lucky to meet a lot of people who have started to see the vision and we're all building together and um that's kind of what music is all about is like you got to have a team around you who really supports you and that's when people it's kind of like um man i'm a i'm a well-rounded creative i've i've i've done the trying to getrounded creative. I've done the trying to get a book deal. I've done the trying to get a record label. I've done the trying to record deal. I've done the trying to break an influencer or creator into a large Instagram monetized platform. I've been doing this. I hopped on Instagram in 2012. We started my wife's fashion blog in 2013.
Starting point is 00:18:23 I published a book, Create Rebellion, in 2015. We moved to San Francisco and lived there for three years and built a massive online platform. Moved to Arizona, started doing YouTube, started doing chubby sexies, did my rap music videos. Moved to Las Vegas, back home now, and it's become something. So I like to think I'm a pretty well-rounded entrepreneur and creative, especially in this digital era. And now people start to look at me as an expert.
Starting point is 00:18:48 Now I'm getting consulting marketing gigs because I've been doing this for long enough. There's a lot of artistic vision that goes into this, but there's a lot of just digital marketing business that goes into this. And that's what people don't get. I'm a different breed. I'm an artist that's also on Demon Time. That's why I think Russ does well too. That's exactly.
Starting point is 00:19:08 Russ is built from that same cloth. There's a few rare artists. That's why I think everybody gets the Marathon Continues tattoo because I think Nipsey Hussle was an icon of the entrepreneurial side of music. Yeah, he wasn't signed, right? He wasn't signed. It was independent, right? It was the Marathon Continues.
Starting point is 00:19:25 It was TMC. And he was out there repping it on Crenshaw. And he was out there selling the $100 mixtapes. And it was, how can I look at this from a business perspective, but still get my art and my vision and my story out there? So that's what it's all about. I look to real innovators and entrepreneurs and creators. Yeah, I love that.
Starting point is 00:19:44 Yeah. Walk me through the song creation process because you got guys like Lil Wayne that don't write down. Yeah. And then you got Eminem who's reading dictionaries. Yeah. Where are you in between that?
Starting point is 00:19:53 I like to write everything. I'm a wordsmith at the highest level. I feel like that's what the divine creator, whoever he may be, touched me with a gift for words. And that's what I'll always be at the core of what I do. I i love writing yeah i love wordplay so a lot of song creation is that i'll i'll i'll think of a thing oh chubby sexy oh yeah my girl's chubby sexy that would be a good song title oh big girl banger those words sound real nice together it's a big girl banger right and
Starting point is 00:20:21 then it starts it starts to come together start to see it in my mind start to see the color palette the video starts to come together the song starts to come together i start working with my producer i've got a producer in canada in halifax i've got a producer in florida i've got a producer in la and i touch them for different vibes and you start to kind of play the orchestra to bring your ideas to life and that's how a song and a music video come together that's dope what's the most views you've gotten on a video? My latest one, I just did a collaboration with Andrew Dawson, who's a longtime producer and engineer for Kanye West. Produced Wash the Throne, Late Registration, Graduation.
Starting point is 00:20:55 Damn. My boy Andrew Dawson out in Scottsdale, and I lived out in Phoenix for a few years. So shout out to Andrew Dawson. And my producer Courtney in LA linked us and said, hey, you guys both live out in the desert. Maybe we could do something. So me and Andrew followed each other just on some dad Instagram vibes for the while. He's got a couple of kids out there. You know, I'm here in Vegas. I got my beautiful son. And so we connected and I said, bro, I got this idea. I want to have fun. It's a song called I want to have fun. And so we dropped that song and he produced me this dope vibe that's romantic and
Starting point is 00:21:26 intimate and dreamy but it's got a real demon vibe to it and so we made this song called i want to have fun and i just dropped it i actually named it i want to have fun dot dot dot for the algorithm because you know how they try to shut you down yeah you know they try to shut you down and we just dropped that that's got 1.8 million views right now. Yeah. So we're cruising. I'm on demon time, man. I've been putting in the work, uh, five years, full-time music entrepreneurship out here. And, um, I'm, I'm just about that level where people are going to find out about Robbie trip in Las Vegas very soon. You got that drive, man. I love it. Thanks, dude. I'm charged up on a dream. I, I call myself the rap game, Don Quixote. I've got a dream to fulfill. If you know the old story of Don Quixote,
Starting point is 00:22:05 it's this book written by a Spanish author. And it's all about this man who believed that he was a knight. He read so many books and he was so charged up on his dream of becoming a knight that he just got on a horse and got some armor and just went and became a knight and roamed around the countryside and made people bend to his reality that he was a knight. Wow.
Starting point is 00:22:26 I'm a knight. I'm a music artist and a creator and an influencer and an innovator and a digital desert daddy demon Willy Wonka energy out here. I've never heard that description before. Yeah, thank you. Where are you going to be in five years? I look at what I do is just a goal to create at the highest level so i don't even know what that looks like i just know i want to
Starting point is 00:22:50 i want to do big stuff i want to make super bowl ads wow i want to perform at the super bowl i don't think i can i don't think there's anything i can't do my dad raised me watching willie wonka welcome to my chocolate factory how often did you watch this movie? Oh, bro. There's a giant, my wall in my office is almost the size of this Willy Wonka poster I have. No, it's like how I live my life with Wonka Energy. All my favorite entrepreneurs, all my closest buddies, they're these guys that I call with Wonka Energy, man. We were raised with this belief that we could do anything. And I think that's the key.
Starting point is 00:23:22 So yeah, dude, I mean, where am I going to be in five years? I just want to, I want to make musical fusion, video production, strategic creations of art, dude. And I don't even know what that looks like, but I know it involves just like a high level of, of production value and creativity. And, And that's what I'm going for, dude. Absolutely. Yeah. Now, how realistic and honest are you yourself and also your circle? Because a lot of artists pitfall
Starting point is 00:23:52 are the yes men around them, right? Yeah. Are your boys honest with you? I stay independent, dude. So I don't got to listen to a record label telling me what to do. I will never sacrifice my creativity ownership. You want to talk about entrepreneurship,
Starting point is 00:24:03 don't sacrifice ownership easily. Don't let people take too many pieces from you because you got to have the people that you trust that are very intent on you succeeding because at the very core of them, they want to see you succeed, but they're also invested in you. That's the key for having a team and a circle that wants to see you succeed. So yeah, I mean, yeah, at the end of the day, I have a very strong creative vision and no one has ever been able to deter me from that. And so I'm very quick and discerning when it comes to, can I see you adding to this positive rocket ship
Starting point is 00:24:43 of charged up dreams that I'm in the cockpit of? Are you a locker room cancer or are you going to come add something to the cockpit? And that's how I know the people that are like welcome into my inner circle. Not everybody gets to hop on the rocket ship. It's leather luxury recliners here at the Desert Money Empire. Invite only.
