I got you gang this guy this guy is the one and only and I do the key for you and in case you don't know what the fuck can we talk about we're talking about the one and only sweet

What's happening? What's happening? Yo, man. You, listen, I see the Richard Millie. I see it. I see it. It's fantastic. It's a big news, man. I'm trying to know what I'm saying.

It's fantastic. Well, yo, okay. Oh, holy moly guacamole. You dropping a solo album. Yes, sir. Same difference. April 3rd. April 3rd.

So what made you want to drop a solo album? I ain't a lot of been wanting to drop it. It's just like, the timing of everything, you know, how everything was just happening. It's like, we've been in the game like a decade now, but it's like, I stayed in the studio, so it's like all these songs just piling up on my hard drive.

You know what I'm saying? Even Shrem Life One, it just kept us touring. Like, we couldn't even stop touring from Shrem Life One. Right. But yeah, it's just like, it's long overdue, but it's perfect timing, you know what I'm saying? Because a lot of it makes me reminisce of my own group, right?

I'm a part of Cabona Noriega. Hell yeah. Appreciate you paving away, too. And that's, but then I look at y'all and I'm like, damn, y'all doing, y'all doing what we wanted to do, right? Right? And let me, let me, let me, let me, um, manifest that. That's all right.

Thank you. Um, y'all are doing solo acts and then y'all staying together. Right. That shit is. It's like three of us. Yeah, that shit. That shit is like, whew.

Me and Mike, we talk about it. It's like Jordan Brands. When you say Mike Will. When you say Mike, Mike Will. Mike Will. Legend. So it's like Jordan brands. Like the Jordan 10 and Jordan 12.

It's like different Jordan. You got to keep dropping different ones. You know what I'm saying? They all great. Oh shit. I didn't realize that. For real. That's how we look at that.

You got to drop the 11s. You got to drop the 12. You got to draw the 10. Yeah. Oh. So. So, it's great. All right.

So, let me ask, because I'm, again, I had more success as a solo artist than I did as a, what's that she called? As a group. As a group. Is that something you worried about? Because, because, like, me, like, listen, I just celebrated Capone's 50th birthday. I went to his party. Let's make some noise for that.

I went to his party. I went and I celebrated it and I was so happy. But then again, I had to also think, like, you know, I had more success as a solo artist. Yeah. Is that something that you're worried about? Because me, I wasn't worried about it because my homie actually had my back. Like, he actually had my back. Yeah.

He's right, which 100%. Yeah, he was like, he's not personal, no. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. But you have the training wheels, too, because Pone got locked up when y'all released the first album, so you kind of felt like a solo artist

at a sense. I feel like you've done enough solo stuff. That's real. So is that something you worried about? With me, I wouldn't say worried about it. But, like, it's really that, like, I don't want to miss nothing. Because even when I was doing stuff

of Ray Shimmer, like, and we got Diamond songs, Ray Shrimmer. That's y'all. together that's my brother yeah i love that i love that i love that and black beetles is diamond some other shit yeah diamond that's crazy congr we got crazy success but then it's like even the songs that i did put out because we was making so many songs always to this day just making so many songs so we're dropping some of these songs and it's like my features going up as these songs are going up with the group you know what i'm pushing with the group me and jimmy together every day

shit shout out of shit hotel planes I see them good morning you know some good night you know what I'm saying we all together so it's like I love that while we're doing that these other songs on the side we're just working you know so I'm steady working like I'm catching plays left and right like boom

in the studio boom New York studio LA Australia wherever so the songs that we do with other artists them going up too so it's like damn that's just something that the fans made like damn they fucking with Swaley heavy too and it's like so it's like damn

I don't worry about the success level because it's like we already had success. Like even Sunflower Unforgettable is like that solo success, you know, that's Sway Lee, you know what I'm saying? You know what I'm saying? I look at it like we far from finish and like far from beginning, you know what I'm saying? Like it's crazy. Okay. So we have French Fontaine on here. Yeah.

French said, I'm looking at your homie. Your homie. I mean, everybody knows. I see a thousand. I see a thousand stories. I already know what you're about to say. I sent a thousand stories, you know what I'm saying? Friends said he didn't make a dollar.

See, I don't know nobody. CPAs or nothing, but that's a billion stream song. Plus, my bad. It might even be two, but I don't even know how many. Yeah, yeah. That's a huge. That's a huge record. I don't know the situation of their contract, you know what I'm saying?

But I know I got my percentage on that month. I wrote that one. Okay. Okay. I know I got my shit. I feel like everybody got their fair share of the song, you know what I'm saying? And that shit was going up while Black Beaters was going on. You know what I'm saying?

So shit was just going up. Like I got my fair share. The business was done, right? And shout out to French though on it. Like, he got his hands on the song. You know what I'm saying? Yeah, what's the true origin of that song? He's a big part.

It was like, I ain't got no bad blood on that song because. But for the record, that's my pen. You know what I'm saying? I don't even know why it's questions That's my opinion You can listen to it and hear it It's not good enough You know what I'm talking about talking to talk

You know what I'm saying I did that shit in my bedroom At the bottom of my bed I woke up that day They're black beetles You know what I said That was the next song I made You know what I brought it to Jimmy

Jimmy was focused on the album I was like Jim get on this song Because I felt strongly about that song I'm like this is one of the ones So initially I told Jimmy Hey bro do a verse on this is one of the ones He was locked in He was knocking down verses

one of the shrems boom I boom so my neighbor is Molly Maude he live across the street for me my house is like literally 20 feet from his so I always go to his studio too I'm cooking songs boom that song I'm playing on that so that song got left over there basically on his hard drives I said so somehow some way I don't know if it was through Jeremiah

or how it came about but French heard it you know what he recognized what caliber song it was he like he want to put a verse on it more Boom. Long story straight, he put a verse on it. Boom. I heard the song. I'm like, it's just fire. Like, they sound hard. You know what I'm saying? And I fuck with French. I grew up listening to French. You know what I'm saying? Everybody Waka, flogga. Lucci, man, you know what I'm saying? A lot of the greats. They grace to me from Mississippi. That's what I'm listening to.

I'm like, French Montana, Swaley. It's left field. I'm thinking this is why I'm about drop my album. My album going up and shit, boom, one. The key thing that made that song go up is $250,000 video. They finish shoot to this song. while I'm going around the world, you know what I'm in Germany and shit. Manican challenge. The first challenge were. Yeah, I was there freezing.

The whole world freezing. Yeah, I did the mannequin challenge. I was doing mannequin challenge too. I was with you. He did a little clip. I did it. I did. I did.

I did it. I did it. I did that. We got to drop a little clip of that. We got to cut into that clip. Yeah. We cut into that clip. Go ahead.

So boom. The key component. that really like made my brain click $250,000 video in Africa with the kids, you know what I'm saying? I'm part Nigerian too, so I'm like, and I love making Afro, that's my natural rhythm. Afro beats.

Yeah, Afro, all that. Like, just anything with rhythm, like, I can do that in my sleep. So boom, that connected for me. I'm like, boom, man, take it to the moon, you know what I'm saying, but long story short, yeah, I wrote that shit. And it was just a great collab.

You know what I'm saying? It wasn't, it might not have been the fairest, way that the song came about. It wasn't the textbook way that it came about, you know what I'm saying? But it made sense. You know what I'm saying? But one thing I should have did is change the artwork, though. See, I was moved so fast.

If you look at the artwork, my face is not on the artwork. So people think, listeners, they're not like, oh, this is Frist Montanza. They might think he's singing that. Right. They might not know. That's Lesway Lee singing that, you know what I'm saying? But that's one thing that's kind of, you know,

and crazy. I ain't gonna lie to you. I ain't gonna lie to you. Crazy story. But that record went. That record went. Let's make some noise for that. Out of here.

And it's still. Still going. Still going. No, that record went. Thank you. Do you? All right. Cheers to that.

Yeah, let's cheer to that. Salute. Double diamond. All right. So, they grew up with that, motherfucker. His, his, his, his was crazy.

Super jup. Shot. Yeah. This was crazy. I had a record that was presented to me. And it was called Jigga, Jigga, that nigger, jigger. But it was originally called Nori, Nori, that nigger, Nori. And, oh, I regret it.

Do you regret giving that to French? Like, keep it real, keep it real. I ain't going to say, I regret it. But wasn't it to Jeremiah's, to start with, you wrote it or no? I think Jeremiah was going to do a verse on it. Me and Jeremiah was working up. You didn't know what was going to happen with the records. Right.

I just did it. It was another one of my 20, 300 songs. I'm just like, I love that record, you know what I? And I was going to come back to him just sitting with it. Actually, I got Wiz kid. I sent it to Wiz Kid first thing on Twitter. So I got the Wiz Kid verse too, you know what I'm saying? So Wiz Kid did a verse and then all that shit came about.

So it was like. And Fritz heard that shit. He was like, I ain't playing. Press the gas. You know what I'm saying? And that was a smart move. you know what I'm saying? Yeah, smart move.

Yeah. Make some noise for first to my tag. I got to give it. Now, I'm a person that's a group member. Mm-hmm. You are venturing out to be a solo artist. Get your ass in then. This is my son.

That's my son. That's my son. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. He don't come out for enough. for nobody. When he said, he's, wait, leave, here. All right. So, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

He do music, too? I think he wants to. I think he wants to. And you know what? I'm going to support him. He had to have to have to make back clean for sure. But, you, it's hard. It's hard being a, it's hard being a part of a group.

and then being a solo artist. Yeah. Like, I know. I won't, when you said, no. I know, I know you. Like, all of these people here probably won't know.

Yeah. But what made you want to do that? It made you... It's just... I think it's just it's stuff that's left unsaid. You know what I'm saying? In the group, we say certain stuff.

we touch certain topics and then my solo projects they touch in certain topics you know what I'm saying I'm just showing people versions of me they never seen before you know what I'm saying

like I'm bringing them to my mind and shit and it's like everything that we put out together it's like it connected you know what I'm saying people growing up with this music

like over a decade of music like if you ask like 10 people like yo what you think about Swayley what you think about Ray Shimmer what's your favorite song for now like at this point like they might all

say a different song, you know what I'm saying? So it's like, they might say a solo sunflower, you know what I'm saying? They might say, come get her, you know what I'm saying? Like, who knows? Like, who knows? Like, I don't know. It's like, I've done it before, you know what I'm saying? Too, like, I stepped out solo tours, post Malone's like, and I love being in a group

too because like, if I'm tired, I didn't did all my dances, boom, I'm staying, I'm tired as a motherfucker. Jim gonna come through full energy, you know what I'm saying? Just do a front flip, turn them up while I'm getting my little chill moments. It's like you always got somebody you can bounce back off of, you know what I'm saying? But it's like... Yeah, let him fix it. Yeah, because I see you.

I'm like... Yeah, because I see you. I love this. I could identify with you so much, bro. Yeah. Yeah, no, no, no, I identify with it because... The EFM probably knows this, like, um, the reason why I went solo was because my partner got locked up.

Right. Mm. But the reason why I see you going. No, I get what you saying. Yeah. It's like people moving at different paces. A different, you know what I'm saying? That's definitely a thing.

Like, people move at different paces. And my pace is just like Bugatti fast, you know what I'm saying? So even while brother taking his moments to do it, he got to do working on his projects, I can still be feed people. You got to be who you are. You know what I'm saying? Still be connected with people, you know what I'm saying? Giving them feast, giving them thanksgivings.

You know what I'm saying? And it's like, it was a lot of moments when I should have had my project turned in. It's like, and I switched gears and I focus on my group because that's my main focus, you know what I'm saying? Ray Shimmer. But of course, you know what I'm saying? Like, it's spilling over to this. Hey, Shway Lee. You're like, you know, Slim Jimmy got hella fans too.

They pop out. Slim Jimmy, we love you, you know what I'm saying? But Swet Lee big too. Now we got the biggest song in the world, bigger than Michael Jackson, Sunflower. You know what I'm saying? That's like me just. on a Wednesday pulling up on Post Malone

I'm Lori Siegel, and I'm mostly human. I go beyond the headlines with the people building our future. This week, an interview with one of the most influential figures in Silicon Valley, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman. I think society is going to decide that creators of AI products bear a tremendous amount of responsibility to products we put out in the world. From power to parenthood. Kids, teenagers, I think they won't need a lot of guardrails around AI. This is such a powerful and such a new thing. From addiction to acceleration.

The world we live in is a competitive world. And I don't think that's going to stop, even if you did a lot of redistribution. You know, we have a deep desire to. excel and be competitive and gain status and be useful to others. And it's a multiplayer game. What does the man who has extraordinary influence over our lives have to say about the weight of that responsibility? Find out a mostly human.

My highest order bit is to not destroy the world with AI. Listen to Mostly Human on the IHeart radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you listen to your favorite shows. A silver 40 caliber handgun was recovered at the scene. From IHeart Podcasts. and Best Case Studios. This is Rorschach, murder at City Hall. How could this have happened in City Hall?

Somebody tell me that. July 2003, Councilman James E. Davis arrives at New York City Hall with a guest. Both men are carrying concealed weapons. And in less than 30 minutes, both of them will be dead. Everybody in the chambers docked. A shocking public murder. I scream, get down, get down.

Those are shots. Those are shots get down. A charismatic politician. You know, he just bent the rules all the time. I still have a weapon. And I could shoot you. And an outsider with a secret. He alleged he was a victim of flat down.

That may or may not have been political. That may have been about sex. Listen to Roershack, murder at City Hall, on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. If you're trying to keep up with everything happening on and off the court, We've got you covered on the podcast, flagrant and funny. You look at the top four number one seeds.

What do you think UCLA is going to do? Break down that for me, my friend. Obviously, Yukon is the overwhelming favorite in this tournament. But I'll be honest, I think people are kind of sleeping on Texas. Experts are suggesting that UCLA is the number one challenger to Yukon and that right after that would be Texas. S&C is so deep and so thick and just about everything. It really is annoying.

So it's UCLA, Texas, South Carolina, LSU. Only ones that could possibly upset Yukon. On Flagrin and Funny, we're giving our unfiltered takes on the biggest moments the conversations everyone's having.

I'm Lori Siegel, and I'm mostly human. I go beyond the headlines with the people building our future. This week, an interview with one of the most influential figures in Silicon Valley, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman. I think society is going to decide that creators of AI products bear a tremendous amount of responsibility to products we put out in the world. From power to parenthood. Kids, teenagers, I think they will need a lot of guardrails around AI.

this is such a powerful and such a new thing. From addiction to acceleration. The world we live in is a competitive world, and I don't think that's going to stop, even if you did a lot of redistribution. We have a deep desire to excel and be competitive and gain status and be useful to others. And it's a multiplayer game. What does the man who has extraordinary influence over our lives have to say about the weight of that responsibility? Find out I'm mostly human.

My highest order bit is to not destroy the world with AI. Listen to Mostly Human on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you listen to your favorite shows.

What do you think UCLA is going to do? Break down that for me, my friend. Obviously, Yukon is the overwhelming favorite in this tournament. But I'll be honest, I think people are kind of sleeping on Texas.

Experts are suggesting that UCLA is the number one challenger to Yukon and that right after that would be Texas. S&C is so deep and so thick and just about everything. It really is annoying. So it's UCLA, Texas, South Carolina, LSU. Only ones that could possibly upset Yukon.
