Very solid. You're my brother for life. Do you already know? Love, my niggias. You're going to go to this. That's because you did a song with him, man. I'm your brother for free. I did it a song.

Yeah, yeah. Yeah, what up, y'all? This is your boy Joe Cracked to Dawn. Yes, sir. I get some of pistachios today. You know what I'm saying? It's Joe and Jay the show. Mustachio vibes.

Every show legendary. Every show iconic, every show healthy. You did? You know what I mean? You think about today's guests. Got to think Baltimore. Got to think R&B. Got to think range.

You got to think adversity. You got to think able to give a little piece of his upbringing to the world and come right back and take that thing to the moon all over again. You got to think versus. Think versus all absolutely help. Show people. His vocals are still top-notch out here in the world. So people is his stage performance

and what he brings to the game. Now he haven't stopped. They duct taped him to a rocket ship after going through all of that. And now he's in orbit. Ladies and gentlemen, make some noise. My nigga. Mario.

My nigga. Appreciate you, bro. Appreciate you. You know what I'm saying? That's legendary. You know what I'm saying? You know what I'm saying? Before we met him for a mile.

You got one of those. No, we definitely got one for sure. We definitely got one. Yeah. Rock, Joe, right? Let's go. Let's warm it up. For sure.

Yo, Mario, what's my brother, man? It's good to see you, man. This legendary, right? You know, you have done a lot of things, man, but I'm going to just take it right to present day and say, how's it been going on tour with Chris Brown and your brother Usher? The energy...

I'm not saying that too lightly. No, no, the energy is crazy, bro. Like, it's... This is the biggest stage R&B's ever been on, right? I mean, you say R&B, the collectively C.B, young, vibrant energy. I remember by saying C.B come out. I was on tour with Destiny's Child. this years ago,

2006, seven, 2010, I can't even remember, but he came out, he performed on stage, I'm like, this kid is a star.

There's no denying it. You know what I'm saying? For a circle moment, man, him been cool for over the years and just like, never been no weird, fake energy before.

You know, there's like, niggas just rock with each other whether we were artists or not, we would hang out in high school. You feel me?

And so when you're on stage with somebody like that is a different type of appreciation just for a circle shit, right? Then you got Usher doing his shit legendary, we all came up with us in. Tanks Eric Bellinger, me.

It's just a full R&B. Avenger moment. So, Tank is on the tour, too. I didn't know that. He got his shirt off. We are. Every show. That nigga top list. Every show.

Off red. You know what I'm saying? Tank coming out. In the rain, he don't give a fuck. The energy, but the energy got to be crazy all night. Bro, it's crazy. I mean, there's not a stage bigger than stadiums in terms of, you got to go Michael Jackson, right, after that, right?

But when you have that many people singing your music night after night, you know, it's like the greatness is haunting you. For me, it's haunting me every day. It's like, okay, you got to come with another one of them once. You want, like, you know what I'm saying? I want to hear this on New. Like a present day. Present day.

I want to hear this on some new, you know, but for me it's also just paying homage to the journey, bro. I feel like I belong here. You know what I'm saying? And my brother saw that and inviting me out of him. I'm sorry. No, I watch interviews. That's the craziest shit.

That's fine. I watch interviews of Chris Brown bigging you up all the time. And so the fact that he asked you to join the tour is amazing because I watch him just like, he won't let them throw no slander your way. He'd be like, nah, that's the brother. He's sing his ass off. Love on this. I've seen that in interviews

and to actually break bread together. That's my dog. Like, we have real conversations outside of the music shit. You know what I'm saying? They motivate each other. Like, you know what I'm saying? So that's just,

it's a blessing that we can share this stage and do the music shit too. You know what I mean? But like, yeah, young legend. You had, let me love you at 16. How did the hell did that feel? Yeah. That was out of park.

It's an understatement. Yeah. I was in album mode, you know, trying to figure out what the next conversation was for me, like as a young artist. Like, before that was the Mario Albert Wright. So like, just a friend, break my hair, you know, just a new kid on the block. But he sounded like he hit the state. But is he?

You know what I'm saying? Is he really here to state? And so I think that that conversation going in with Scott Storch and being in Miami, you know, I mean, spending a whole month out there working with Scott Storch and E.S. ST, you know. Neo came down, and he was already, you know, his name was circulating as a writer. He was doing his artist shit, but nobody knew him as an artist yet.

So I think he came down there with a pointer proof. Like, okay, this is who I am. Came in there, Scott dropped him like three tracks. He went in the other house. You know, he had like three, four houses going to record music night after night, parties, music. Lit, music, take a break, back to the music. But it was always taking the music serious.

You know what I'm saying? So for me, it was like artist development in a way on another level as far as recording records and like working with different people learning how to move the rooms around. You know, your energy one day is like you might be on some like, yo, I don't even feel like cutting music in it. And then the best record to come out of that. I didn't even take any less than the best music come out of it, right? And so Neo came down, wrote a few records. I'm like, okay, this shit's a vibe.

But I wasn't in the room with him. So me and EST writing every day in the room, other artists we were writing. he was in his own vibe. He came over with Let Me Love You. I cut the record the first night. I'm like, this record's cool. I was making more lit records at the time, like more turned-up records.

The next day we came back, the record had completely disappeared out of the session. Like, the files were gone. They were gone. The files did they disappear? All the vocal files deleted. So I'm like, all right, let's just move on. Like, no, no, we got to cut this record again.

So we had like two hours and I had a flight. I want to say that night. So I cut the joint. I'm like three hours. I just rushed through it. But I gave, the vocals that I gave that day was more potent for whatever. I was just anymore. You kind of knew it a little bit.

I gave him passes. I'm like, here's some passes. I'm like, here's some passes. Woo-woo. Got back to New York. Go to the office with Clive. He blasted in the office. Lyrics sheet in front of me.

This is the single. We're going out of, everybody's like, this record is crazy. It's out of here. One of the biggest records of all term, huh? Yes, sir. And I heard, I believe. I know it might be some fat Joe shit I thought I heard

Neo say that's one of the records he wish he ain't right for anybody something right I wish he kept that joint John John Joe says he wish he kept what's slough Yeah That was that record's a motherfucker

It's crazy bro like I can't imagine They being with anybody else Like I don't know Like when I sing it I'm like there's nobody that's gonna sing this record better than me Like this this record was meant for me You know what I feel like

I worry about all my records Now I hear records too from other artists. I'm like, yo, I could have killed that shit better. But the overall package was for them. You know what I say? What I do,

I don't think nobody has been leaning back like you. Nah. No, no, I don't care who you here. Nah, bro. Oh, thank you.

I thought I truly appreciate it. Yeah, that's your shit. Joe. You know, that's my shit. Yeah. Yeah. Nobody. I've listened to other artists

and said, damn. I wish I had that song. Mm-hmm. Like that's a good feeling though When a song make you say I wish that was mine or I wish I had that That's how you know

Some people's voices just too Clear rock You like their voice more sometimes Than you like the song sometimes even Because you're a fan of their voice Like you know what I'm saying Like you like yo I like the way Like Mario sing on his record

Even if somebody else sang the record It might not have been whatever Have you been good to your voice Or do you like Do you smoke cigarettes and drink 40 cases? That's funny I was just telling my brother that other day No He's like when I was in middle school

why you should smoke cigarettes on some wild young nigga shit, right? Yeah, yeah. But after that. What I think, though, like a, I think, like, your Mark Anthony smokes 10 packs of, yeah,

I think cigarettes, I think cigarettes, you need a little bit of, for some, not for your whole duration of life. I think it's a little bit of it. Smoke cigarettes, you need a little bit of it.

I would say this. I think that it depends on the texture of your voice. Like, my voice is, it's like a saxophone. My shit clean. Like, my shit is like a knife, nigga, my shit cut through.

So I can't do... He needed new porch to the head to... I'm saying. I'm telling you. No real shit, Joe. I ain't going to lie to you. Because he don't know about folks. Because my voice is like the R&B voice.

But the rastly shit. Oh, my fucking. Back in the day. Oh, whoa. You got an R&B. You got an R&B. You got Baby's kids' voice. Diggick, get the fuck out of you.

My shit is R&B. At certain time and night, my shit goes off. You invite me to the studio, 2.30. I don't sound the same as one-third. Right, right, right. A shit left. No, you're working on R&B. Hey, tell this, nigga, you're working on R&B out of my nigga.

You might be. No, he might be. Nah, but, yo, so, like, back in the day, right? You think about the rat pack. You think about James Dean and fucking, you know, fucking... Game was going crazy. But what I'm trying to say to you is I've always heard. Franks de Nostra was smoking

like they was going crazy, right? I've always... But they weren't singing in registers up here. That's different. When you start talking about my area, when you start coming to my floor, the shit different. You know what I'm saying?

You can't eat it because I've tried, like I've, you know, I've raised hard with the only... You sing like Jada because like, you think they love you. They can sound like Louis Armstrong or some shit. Like, yeah. That's Louis Armstrong. Balls presented by Sprite.

Cream. Those guys already came with that different slang. Represent a different demographic of the five burrows. And that was just another one. It was hitting them out the park. That was more on the commercial side for them. But it was still a bang of the beats. The hook, the rhymes, the particular four dudes that he used on the song was ill.

That's probably one of the acronyms that would be used forever in life outside of music. Man, phenomenal to see my guys win like that. To this day, the production is, that's another one of them choices, like one of the greatest of all time. To see them in the middle of the street in front of the cars and what they were talking about, it was just so legendary, you know, a royal group in hip-hop. It's just royalty. And, you know, these guys can't go wrong for nothing. Salute my brothers for just hitting it out the park like that.

where I go hear my favorite artists and they don't sound this. Yeah. That's really scary for me. Like when I went up, you know, I go see certain things. I remember maybe two, three years ago I went to see something.

I was like, I hope this, nah, I can't do that. I hope this guy doesn't do, and we artists. We've got to perform the pay our bills and all that. But I hope this guy don't do a show no more. Yeah.

Because I love the original records. Oh! Can't do that. Oh, that's the who shit. He's not trying to, but I get it. Yeah, but it's, I'm sure we've heard it before, but it's happened. It happened to me where I was sitting there

and I was like, damn. I needed one of these that say, let me get a clue. You don't got to say. I think you got to consider that shit. You know what I'm saying? When I be in rooms and it's like, it's 18 blunts going around.

I'm like, I put my time on, nigger for 45 minutes. I know I got to stay. step out and get some air because I got to show them our... Oh, I've been hiding my whole career. No, I don't smoke you. Niggas want to hear that, motherfucker.

It's like, I know. I make, I make it think of Maxwell do that shit for me all the time. Every time I see Maxwell, it could be the loudest party. I make them do the... Yo, you know, Maxx, let me see if you can steal the... Right. That's like entry into the elevator.

He's going to a party or some shit. He's coming to y'all. Make sure he can still. this shit. Hello. That shit right here. Man, that boy Maxwell probably want to stab me

or some shit. He'd be like, yo, this guy makes me, I mean. Man, you commit to those records in the studio

is definitely like, when I go to studio now, I'm definitely considering, like, I know tonight, I can go crazy on actors,

but like, I got to think, I'm going to do this for 10 more years, 15 more years. You know, so you're like, I can add

the extra thoughts on the show, but I got to do this every night if this record blow up. You know, it's a consideration. But I think if you take care of your shit, you practice, like, before I go on tour, I was telling you sing the other day.

I was like, bro, the secrets are going on tour as a singer. Before you go on tour, you got to, you got to strain your voice. Like a week before you, now. Vocal coaches might not. Your voice? Vocal coaches might not agree to this. But I sing until I can't talk before I go on tour. I go crazy and rehearse.

I sing, sing, sing, sing, sing to my shit. It's like, okay, cool, let me chill. And then the muscle. grow back stronger two days later. It's like a muscle. You know what I'm saying? You got to sing your song that's hard to sing multiple times so you can't sing no more. And then by the time you get on tour, it's easier.

The shit just, you know what I'm there? Yeah, yeah. Even for rappers, like, how many times you've been, you got a rap, how many times you lose your voice on tour? It's like, damn, you got to push. Do you ever lost your shit on tour? Drug-free, cigarette-free, beer-free, you know. But just from like,

Bust and crystal care. My shit sound like flow joe, niggas. My shit sound like you got to float your boy. My shit sound like you got a floo show. You're screaming too much. Busted, check it. Watch, I want wreck it.

Yeah. I still sound the same. My shit's like, hello. Never slipping, nigga. Fat Joe's in the building. Like, yeah, it's pretty crazy. Because Fat Joe, the rapper is totally different from Fat Joe to person.

So whenever I grab the mic, I'm ready to go on stage and that shit sound like Fat Joe. I'd be like, oh shit, it sounds like Fat Joe. Are you in ears or you in monitors? No, I like monitors. I'm like a carer wrestling. I like your ears or stage. Like in the stage.

You got to be in the years. Those got to be in there's a little. I had a leak. I had, you know, because your ears, the shit changed like every four years. I had to go get remode because it was leaking. sound. And so it was airing it. I was hearing

two different worlds for like the first week on tour. I bought I hate ears. And I bought the most, I bought the Rose Royce of ears. Your man, fucking DJ Cassidy, when we did the residency, he forced me to buy the most expensive ears you could ever buy in your life. I never used them

shit together. Like seven bands, ten bands. Shit like that. When they come moji ear, yeah, they can't push the white shit in into the crib. No, and they tell you, it's the Rose Royce or not? What, you want, the real shit or not?

Of course, everything I do, I got to do with B-I-G. But the shit is just sitting there. They're still sitting in the career right now. Yeah, I never used them. I used them for that shit. That's crazy. And I never used them again. I'm not, man.

As I said, because I should use them. Now, I might should use them Friday when we pull up. When's this coming out? Yeah, so we don't have already ripped down the con. We're coming out with us show on Friday. Oh, that's fire. So me and kids going to go on. Okay, that's hard.

That's hard. That's hard. Kiss, are you going to look happy to be there at the concert? Stop asking me, am I happy, man? I'm not going through depression. I never seen a guy. I'm not somebody fighting depression or none of that. It depends on what songs you're singing on stage.

Because, like, you got songs where you come in, you know what I'm saying, covering any of his heads or you like on something? What songs are you doing? I'm always happy. I'm never, I'm not, not happy. I'm not happy. You're not happy.

You're happy. Yeah. Scott Strains. Had to the J.C. concert. It's just like, Kane. Do you care if you live or die? I was thinking, said, kiss.

Are you happy? I don't know if you realize. Who's a big fan of raising Canaan? Me. So you're up to date? You're up to date? I haven't watched TV in like six months, bro. He ain't watched him.

They killed Uncle Marn. They killed Uncle Marf. Damn. Oh, my God. Y'all, I almost cried. He gets the freaking text messages. He goes, yo, Joe, I'm upset about him. You know what I got.

Who said that? Fritz. I almost cried. Damn. I see Uncle Mons. I see, yo, how they do this to Uncle Muff, throw this up. How they take them out, though?

Was it awesome. You know it's TV show. You get TV. No, no, no, no. I'm going into Uncle Marvin. I'm a serious. You know, Game of Thrones right now. The Dragons.

That shit, that shit mean what's going on right now. Do you know about the West? How's the Dragon? That shit got me. That's almost when Mike Tyson James. West East. Who I'm watching the Westies. With the Irish things.

Lioness came back out. Oh, I got to check. Who! Lioness, right on the same thing as Weston. See, I got a stand from a TV with my son and watch some shit. I got to fuck something. I ain't been, I got to spoil you something. I have to spoil you.

Spoil or, learn. Spoil you. In the get, what's it called, Game of Dragons? House of Dragons. You know the famous story. They got cartoons about it, everything. Me and Big Pump was trying to go to the tunnel. Security was fun.

Pun. You never met Big Pun. You two younger. He was the problem. And so Pum wanted to smoke. I heard the stories. He wanted to smoke with everybody. So he's arguing with like a hundred security niggis,

got things, who they did. And he sucked my dick, fuck your mother. And I had to address him and say, your punt. I'm certified. Yeah, we're good. You know, we're going out in the stretch of together. It's only me and big pun.

I said, they're going to beat the living. We're going to be in shit bags for like three months. But I'm with you. And right when we thought we was going to get beat up, we heard a little voice, Yo, Pond, yo Joe, fuck these things. We turned around as I am Mike Tyson with the Coofy on, fresh off of jail.

And this week's Game of Thrones, what's it called, House of Dragons? They got a nigga that's supposed to be the king, but he's ousted. And for like, I guess, two to five years, he's walking, hiding who he is, this, this, that. So he's tired of running. Because they're looking for him. Every army, you got to kill him to really be a certified king.

But this guy's in the, you, more to the story, he stops running. He stands and waits for the army. They come thousands of them. They come and they go, will you bow your knee to the new queen, this and this and that? He grabs his sword. I amaze, God. the king of all kings, the slayer of slayers,

the king I don't give a fuck. They look at him, they start laughing. Like a thousand, he's done. You don't got a harm me now. And they all like, uh, uh, uh, nigger his long lost dragon comes out of the back.

Crazy. He turned around. He goes like Mike Tyson. He turned around. He goes, Circassius. That nigger burns all the niggas. Damn.

He was like, yes. Yes. Like, yo, we didn't see the dragons for five years. That nigga, we thought he was dead. The dragon came out of the mix. It was like he said, Sir Gossius. That nigga burned down the whole South Bronx, he was like, yeah.

Yeah. Y'all got to get my boy, Joe, you know what I'm saying? Get my boy in this movie, man. Give him a scene, man. Damn, boy, I would like that. So I'm sorry. What's it is it? Jacharis.

What is Jekaris? How do you know the shit? Why you act like you don't know but you know Jacharis? We got to put that in the rhyme. It looked like everybody know what Jacharis is. That's funny. It was such a moment for me.

Nah, but his life, bro, his life is like, you know. You know what I've learned, that things that really matter. you can't rush them. Fats. You can't rush the sauce. You can't rush the music. You can't rush relationships.

And you definitely can't rush great tequila. That's why 1800 tequila stands out. The name goes all the way back to the 1800s. When the Beckman family started making tequila. And that patience, that attention to the craft, has been passed down through more than 11 generations. That's legacy. Sometimes you just got to let something.

Cook Juan Beckman Vidal aged 1800 and Neo longer than he even had to because he knew it wasn't ready yet. I respect that. Don't put it out just because you can put it out. Put it out when it's right. That applies to a record, a conversation, mood, you're making, and clearly a bottle of tequila. Once you get it right, you share it with your people. That's always been part of the story. Good tequila, good conversation, and the people around you really appreciate both.

passion, hard work, honesty. Those words are written on every bottle of 1800. And honestly, that's the foundation for anything built to last. So take your time with what you're creating. And when the moment is right, share it with your people. 1,800 tequila. Good stuff takes time. And the best stuff's meant to be shared with your people.

Behind every night spent making the kids' lunches, there's a lot of suspense. Will they finally eat the veggies? Will the pasto survive the first bite? Will the lunchbox come home empty, half full, or come home at all? And will you finish episode 8 before you're done slicing the cucumbers?

I'm not saying that. What I'm trying to get to is there. We really take a toll on the family because we're always on the road. We're always working and we feel like we ain't doing nothing. When you put the time and the length of time that you miss together, if you 10 years, for example, you might miss two years. At least. You know what I'm saying?

But I try not to think about it like that. I try to think about I calculate the times with experiences. I'm like, all right, when I go home, I make sure we have experiences. That way it's like, you know, things that I know he's going to remember. Even though he's six months, like he's learning fast. You know, most rappers die in the hotel. Damn, bro, that's fucked up, but it's true. Yeah, but we live in the hotel.

We live in good. Everybody died prodigy. Everybody died trying to get to the next bag. Rest in peace, to them. Rest in peace. It's only two, though. Trust me when I tell you, man. What I'm saying.

Your percentages is all. What I'm trying to tell you is that always on the road. But we're not living. We're living good, man. We're still here. Like, you're still here. Like, life is good. I'm not complaining about the light.

You know what I'm saying? I look at dudes all the time working hard, really working hard. Not for sure. I get what you're saying. Don't think I don't see the doorman, nigga, in the snowstorm. I look at everybody and be like, damn, I could have been having this position. In fact, when I was born, they said most likely, you're going to throw away the garbage. You're going to be the sanitation man.

So I look at everybody and say, yo, why are you looking like that? I'm just telling you the truth. Life is good, though. It's like when I go home, I see my son, it just put everything else in perspective. You know what I'm saying? This shit that I used to waste time on, I'm like, nah, when I get home, I'm like, my schedule is like this. I guess, you know what I'm saying? He looked like the monks.

Both of us. But he got her skin tone. her skin, but he's changing. Yeah, it's changing over time. He's going to get his features going to. Yeah, it's changing over time. This is him when he was too much. He's six months.

Yeah, he is. He's talking in this mound, but like, yeah. He looked like his mind right there. He's going to get something. He's fine, yeah. Yeah, yeah. This guy's beautiful. Thank you, bro.

I appreciate you, bro. His name is Lord Nassir Barrett. Lord Nassir Barrett. Yeah. How did y'all come up with that name? That's so. I ain't going to show it on the camera. Sure, this ain't a name.

He's on the king of kings. We're going to block it up. Lord Nassir Barrett. You go to, King. Lord Nassir Barrett. Yeah. Yeah. Lord Nassir.

So it's more just about presence, right? You know, he came to my girl like three months, three days before he was born. Like, he came to her spiritually. Like, she saw her orb in the room. Like, you know what I'm saying? It was a few things that happened before he was born. So it was like, she called me. I'm in Germany on tour.

She's like, baby, I just saw a. a child came and see me. I was like, man, you probably tired. She's like, no, no. A child really came in the ruin and seen me. I was like, three days later, she found out she pregnant. You know, so already right there for me is like, yo, he's here for a purpose.

You know what I'm saying? Not so much comparing it to the way that Lord is using the Bible, but the name Lord, the way that people use Lord, it's a way to describe someone with strong presence, right? Someone who's a governing of their own space, right? So it's just affirmation. When people say his name, when he say his name, he's walking with that power.

You know, my mom's had a dream. My mom's had a dream when she was pregnant of me. She never forgot that dream. My aunt knows it too. And she would tell me all the time, yo, you remember the dream? This and this and that. And I'd be like, yeah, my.

And so she died, she knew the dream. You know what I'm saying? So some of those dreams, they stick with people along. Absolutely. You know? So that's the beautiful thing. You got a little boy out there.

Yeah, bro. I was like, I was sitting up the streets. Man, God. So when we found out he was a boy, I already knew. You know what I'm saying? In my heart, I'm like, it's a boy.

But we got the little gender drink, gave it to her mom, say, we don't want to know yet. We was going on. But then one day she woke up, she's like, babe, I want to know. I say, babe, let's just hold out. She found out was a girl.

She was in the kitchen, quiet. I was like, damn, I know it's a boy. I mean, she found out of the way, she was in the kitchen for, like, five minutes. It's like, she's like,

I wanted that girl. Yeah, they want the girl. I was like, I work for like, God, he's, listen,

trust me. Like, I work for this. Like, I work for this. You don't miss. I sacrifice a lot for this. You know what?

It's beautiful, though. It's, we good, man. He's, he's an amazing kid. That's motivating. That's fine. You know what I'm saying?

Keep me up. What new music you got coming our way? Tell us. Yeah. I've been cooking. I've been cooking, man.

I got, I got a lot of different vibes that I'm cooking up right now and just like figuring out what texture I want to really put into the world right now. Yeah, it's some things baking. It's bacon, it's baking. Yeah, yeah. You know, it's a process. Absolutely.

Every day you wake up with a different, you know, I started writing today. I have a new joy last minute. And when I tell you that, man, we cooked up some last minute shit. This shit is so crazy. I need that 88 cocaine. I need you. Which y'all feel like missing an R&B. No, not school and Jerry.

You know, he's been proof. to me that I'm full of shit. So I told you, you said, Yo, Tray, sent me this shit. And I was like, I make the shit. He said, yeah, yeah, you made this beat. You made that beat. Now that's the new butt of the joke.

Every day I talk to. Well, he says to him. No, nah, no, no. You do that snare in? You came up with that hook. I'm like, I'm like, all right. They do come up with the shit, too. You know what I'm saying?

You be on your production show, you be. No, no. I know how to do it. I know how to hear. You know how to hear. You know what you're in here. What y'all feel like missing in R&B? R&B.

Yeah. What we're missing in R&B is R&B. You know the best end? When we're missing in R&B is R&B. There's a difference. I always when people ask me like, there's a difference. Like 90's R&B was like that.

It's the Bible. It's really the Bible. Like 90 R&B is really the Bible. I wouldn't say that. What I would say is A couple of chapters As far as R&B that we call like

rhythm and blue Like you go. But then you go go back Okay, go ahead. Hold up. Somebody that sing I'll sing. I'm gonna take the truth.

Somebody that sing me can listen to the niggas the four times to temptation. But bro, bro, bro, no. You guys are singing. Of course. One thousand percent.

Do do do to the I got sense shot to me. singing. Of course. So it's very hard. You think one of them songs right now don't work? No, that's...

It's two different types of R&B. That's like R&B so... But 90s, that we all wish... Nineties is... I'm just trying to say... For me, it's like... I heard so much great music in my life. 90s R&B where it's like,

nigger is fly and make you want to, you know, go on a day, make you want to put some shit on, take a shoddy out. So many great... Call a shorty up that you, that you know what I'm saying? That you've been thinking about, but you meant working on this. That's all.

That's all. That's missing. What I'm saying, it was hard. It's hard to just say because I've heard such great music my whole life, R&B music. I get what you said. It's like, but now I think the last record that really did that for me was folded by Calani. The reason why that record was so successful is because it's telling my remix. It was successful because of my remix.

I'm just, it's great too, but that folded. That folded. Fold is crazy. Pillow with your thing, all of that. I know, I like the kid in 100 and all that. I love a... It's so good music out there. But that's good.

But what you're saying is out there, too, you got Givion doing that type of music. Like the soulful. It's all different vibes. It's all good. I'm just trying to tell you, the last song I heard that made me think of Brandy,

think of Monica's made me think of this. It was that folding. You did the remix. Neo did the remix Tony Braxton. Y'all knew that was the third round. You heard that shit and was like, oh, no, I need to get in on this shit. This shit different. Like this era, you know, and it's just proof that you can make quality music

that sounds like 90s R&B and they could go number one if you take the time out to do it. Now, Wallace, you know. I do it all, bro. I can do soul for R&B. Why do you fuck me, nickers, bust your mother. Fuck your father. Fuck you're like, you're like, yo, what happened on R&B, bro?

It's a place for everything. Like, at the end of the day, we can't. No, listen, but at the end of the day, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, the midi is so vast. Like, you can just get, it's so quick. Like, you go right here and just play whatever you want, right? So we got to, but when it comes to, like, R&B

the shit that we're talking about. Yeah. It's very few and far in between, bro. It just, it's not out there. For me, I'm taking my time and making the textures. that makes sense so that I can give the fans what they need.

What's my man, Brian, Leon signed this girl out of the youngest. You coming with a new album? Invention. If you are coming with a new album, you cannot release your album

without putting this girl on your album. That's all I'm trying to say. Fat Joe, you just told me to give you an 88. I'm giving you shit. You just told me, Yo, can you mind my business and point me in the right direction? There is a young lady. I don't know our name.

Why we have here. He signed to Breon. That's why we have ears. All right. Can I? Can you hear me? Let me ask you a question. You got a session with her settler?

Do you got a session with her yet? No. I got to hear him. But he's from Yonkers. He's the king of Yonkers. This is why you overspeaking. It got to go through my head. I don't care.

With Breon's sex. Leon Mia Why she didn't Why didn't Why didn't I hear? I want to hear For my age

What you're like about her Though? I'm not going to tell you Kid and Forrest You do What should you do About it? When you hear her

My man He got He got a He got a young girl. Yeah. Her name is Faith. He got a...

He got a young girl. R&B or hip-up. R&B. Crazy. You got one. When you hear it, I told Mary about it. Mary in my house,

I said, you know, there's a new girl. It didn't go to... It got it come across our desk. That's only thing I'm saying. It ain't come across. You ain't get to press play yet.

Nobody's desk. Yeah. From tab to him. who's the last artist that you heard? Yeah. From the beginning and you was like, wow. The last artist that I heard from, say again? From any, this era or whatever that you heard and you was like, wow.

Like, wow. Honestly, her, bro. Her. I know she not yesterday knew, but to me, she was the last female that came out that I had on repeat for like a year, dog. We did too. She's amazing, bro. What's that one song that shit? I was fucking with the dance.

I was fucking with the Damage record. Dammit. Crazy, you know. You can do. I was in vacation. Yeah, she's crazy. That's classic.

Classic. In the Dominican Republic. And that shit was the only record that spun for like the whole week. Matter of fact, I want to do a project with you. Her. Let's get in the studio. I said it right here on Joe and Jetta. You heard it first.

She's amazing, girl. Yeah. She's fired. She's very, very talented. Yeah. And I love Ciz's voice. This is amazing.

Siss's voices. She's very unique. Ciz's got a lot of nights. And just her mind, like, just the way she flowed through music, the way her choices, all of that. She's seen as she's a video yesterday. Yeah. Crazy.

I was like a, she was like a movie from Scorsetian. She got one. She just, Oh, I know what you're talking about. She take off everything. Yeah, she walked into the ocean that night. It was crazy.

That's the one. Yeah. Yo, like I said, that Kalani, we also got what? Elamate. She's right. Her penis. Whoever penned that shit up.

That album's incredible. Fellis, what fellas? R&B wise. Honestly, the usual suspects. They're the main. They're hot forever. Brent fires.

Brett's all right. Brett's do his thing. He got his own style. I fuck with him. Yeah, his pen is. His pen is. His pen is fire. Talk that shit.

Grice. or Bryson. For sure. You know what I'm saying? That boy, Bryson, let me tell you something, man. You know, Bryson. I met Bryson Tiller working on his first hour. You know, Rich DeBauber discovered Bryce and Tiller.

And he lived with Rich. He wrote that whole album in my man's crib. And so I was hearing that shit before. Everybody heard that shit. And he'd be hanging with us in the studio. Like, say, like, he'd be hanging with us in the studio, just chilling. every day chilling while Fat Joe's working and all that and then that nigga popped off to the next

hemisphere. That's one guy. That's probably like the last artist I was around that I seen blow. Like, you know. Out of the blue. But just, just on the same. Nah, just, we knew he was super duper talented, but everybody ain't guaranteed to become like a superstar. And so I watched him work on this project, humbly, you know, regular equipment and everything.

And there's to see how people, you know, Like, say you, you know, people could look at you and say, like, you got a story. I got a story. I got a Chris Brown story when he was like 14. Right. Tina Davis brought him to me in the parking lot. That's crazy. I'm with Scott Storch.

You so? Like on somebody. Baby. Damn, that's crazy. And a man sung in that fucking parking lot. Mm-hmm. And I knew for a second I walked away and I was like, okay, this Michael Jackson. Out of here.

It's out of you. I could do that. That's what I'm trying to tell you about your girl from y'all. In fact, Joe, to hear someone look past whatever clothes you got on, whatever your shit is, whatever, and hear you and be like. And see the potential. Big time. No, for sure. Big time.

Have you ever signed an art, like a female artist or R&B artist? Yeah, I signed an R&B artist and it didn't work out for me like that, but she's still out there doing her thing. I thought she was really, really, really, really talented. I still believe so. And I don't want to say it because she just started. So our career that... I got a few that I'm looking at right now. Like, you know what I'm talking to?

You want to sign? Yeah, just like, yeah, talent. You know, just to pass down this knowledge, bro, pass down these experiences. It's certain things we know just from being artists and living and being in it. That's like, you know, it's valuable wisdom, bro, for people that can save them full five years, right?

So I'm at that point now where I'm like, I want to pass this wisdom down. But I also know the era I have for music and R&B and like what I want to see out there. You know what I'm saying? So just, and then artists that's like self-contained that understand where they're at right now but just need help navigating it.

You know what I'm saying? So I got a couple of... And you got some people that just... They're dead nights. Yeah. You got some people that's a genius. Exactly. You know, what's your man?

Dollar Sound sign that guy. What's his name? Leon. Leon Thomas? Probably. I don't think... I don't think Leon Thomas... Take your time!

Wash you. guidance. I got a feeling I never worked at him or none. I got a feeling Leon Thomas had the whole package just like, he was like, ready to go. Take your time. Wash your butt.

Yeah. He says that? Huh? I said, I know you. I don't know no lyrics. I just sing alone like I know. Leon's been doing it for a while. He's been baking. He's been really cooking and building his I respect, like his journey. He's a real. You can hear that he's real.

Yeah. You know, another guy that comes up, I don't really know his music too much like that, but I know he can really sing as the kid. Lucky day. Lucky day. He always, he like tank, topless. Every time I ever see him, his shirt and stuff.

He got the eight pack, he'll give a fuck. He flexing. He's not a go-to show. What am I doing? Giggle. I had a dog one. I'm telling you what it is. Some guys, that's their fucking uniform.

That's their fucking uniform. They come out every time we go, any place I ever went, they go in, lucky day. He's coming out top. He can have a tuxedo out, cut out the sixth. I swear to God, somebody, you're going to clip this? You're going to find that shit. He wears tuxedos cut with his just a six-pack showing.

Like, that's it. Like that's, you know, these guys, you know, they're in great shape, you know, so they're doing what they got to do. Arnbee shit, right. R&B shit. I love R&B shit. You know, my favorite R&B shit of all time, Luther Van Jaws. You can't tell me nothing about Luther. Now, Lutta was that guy, bro, Luther.

The records, the live performances, Luther was one of those guys. All they needed was a mic. You seen that way he'd mic? All they needed it was a mic. I've ever seen him without a mic? Lai, bro. Newt DeVette, your publicist over there can tell you can hear a little older than,

you know, he's more like my age. Yeah. Duke, they used to walk on stage in the stadium. And the mic be there. He walked by and go, Hey! Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. But they're still using the mic,

he's over there. The whole fucking stadium is hearing him. Yeah. Come back to this. Oh, gee. Yo, he's not even on the mic in the whole stadium. He was a beast.

He was acrobatic with his performances, for sure. Luther was like, I'm a serenade you. This is one performance. He had a war show performance. He had all the girls. You know how you had? You go see your cup. Luther put the mic in the middle of the shit

and he'll walk by. Yeah, no, he was a lot. So Mike is there. What are he doing though? What are he? And the whole stadium, he keep walking. The whole, you hear that shit. like he on.

James, what did he do? All right. Could you find it? One more time. He's crazy. You got mics right here. And what did he do? I can't do it no more.

I can wait four hours for the next bus or this random dude is offering me a ride on his motorcycle.

I chose option B. I'm Julie Pinero, and I travel by myself because it's a rare space where I can say yes without asking anyone else first. I'm on a mission to reclaim the word solita, trading the pity for possibility. Every time I tried to be alone, I kept meeting people, and they were like, you smiled at us. Not a lot of people smile around here. It's when you're alone that you're most receptive to the world as it is and not the lies you're sold about it. It can be a time where you push your limits, change your mind, or wake up to a new version

of yourself. So whether you're a solo travel veteran or you're too nervous to book your friends, first trip. I hope you listen to Solita on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Didn't catch the latest Roland Martin unfiltered podcast? Here's what you missed.

Nobody's fucking with James Brown. Really? Tell us. James Brown, not. Like, vocally and just acrobatics as far as, like, live performances? James Brown is a monster. No, no, James Brown's a monster.

You ever seen them battle Pavarotti in Italy? You know, Pavarotti battled Luther Van Jorce. He battled James Round, and somebody, like, he battled them. Sounds like you feel like. I didn't see that one. James Brown put his foot in Pavarazzi's ass. He went out there to Roma some shit,

and they sung in like the Vatican, some crazy roaming shit. Which songs they were going on? Parvati was singing. Papa's got a brand of his bag. Let me tell you. The man's world. Patti was singing some Italian shit

because he sings in Italy, and that man's in a man's world. That shit was body on Broadway. That nigga and James Brown. Where over there? He's different. And battle Pavarazzi. Luther battled him.

Somebody else battled him. There's literally videos if you see them. They're on stage. Like a versus. You do one, I do what, not. Crazy. Brown. But a better voice than Luther is a...

No, not better voice. I'm talking about live-wise. Like, their voice is completely different. But live, like, when you say Luther, how he would play with the volume and just like, James was just... You know, James Brown... And his version of singing, he did the Jada kiss. New York, I'm outside.

That nigga went over there, James Brown to Italy. And it was like, Pavarotti, you know, his voice was like, legend. So he's out there, he's the king of Italy, and the music just starts. And James Brown goes. You can't compete with that soul, bro. The soul is just hit different. You can't compete with the soul.

You know, when he passed away, Michael Jackson was done with America. He wasn't fucking with him. That's after the trial and all that. And so they reached out to him was like, yo, you know, James Brown was his idol. And so they reached out to Michael Jackson and he said, you know, I'm not fucking with America no more.

Reverend Al Sharpton told me this story. He was James Brown's Godson. So he said Michael Jackson was like, nah, ain't fucking with America. I love Mr. Brown, this and that, but I can't do it. And then the next day they called, Reverend out like four in the morning. It was like, Mr. Jackson is here in the funeral.

They let him in without even asking. He went in. No, no, he went in. No, no. He was at the funeral where they, the morgue. So he went up in there, and they said he started combing Mr. Brown's hair. Right, because he knew Mr. Brown. Like this.

He said, yo, he don't wear his hair like this. made the part. It made it. I really rocked. And then he walked in. We seen that on TV when he walked out. I think they had it in Atlanta or something. And Michael Jackson walked in, a funeral.

Prime example, though, what you're saying right now just got me thinking. It's so important that if you're great for you to show your greatness and for there to be as much support around that as possible because all of our greats, the ones that we grew up with, our parents made us listen to all of that.

They're either gone or leaving us. Like we're never getting, the music is here, but we're never getting that presence again. So it's like, it's our duty to like, I'm happy to salute them, but I'm happy that you're excited about new talent. It's our duty to find those talents and be like, look, we need y'all to be as authentic as possible

because we know what greatness is, right? And so, and dropping new music, it's like I'm thinking about all of that. I got songs that I feel like it's here. That's just awesome. A whole different like, and it's like, damn, is this what the world want? Is this going to work right?

But it's great. But then I got other songs that's like, okay, somebody else could cut this, but it's still going to work for the radio, work for the, you know, so those are the things that I consider when I think about greatness and dropping music of who I am in R&B.

You know what I'm saying? So next time I come up here, I'm going to have some, you know, this guy never dropped the whack verse. You know how hard that is? How many years you've been rap, I've got, I've dropped whack verses. They paid me, you know,

300,000 to rap on some bitches song from house music somewhere and I just said, I need money, money, catch it in by your pot, digger, and I'm out of there.

Yeah. I'm gone. So I've done it. Is that because you cut less records and you cut records when you just make music? That's the answer to us. That's the answer to us.

a lot of people was going on. I can't, if I gave more, I'll give less. So I don't just waste. That's real shit. It's from my artist. That's why I had a lot of shit with puff. I didn't want to write for him

because I felt it was taken from my stash. Mm-hmm. You know what I'm saying? Oh, no, definitely was taken from your stash. You know what I'm saying? It didn't. Yeah, he was taken for the stash, all right. Wasn't the word stash.

It was the real stack. Yeah, no, I ain't, no. It's a probability. You have a circle back. You have a circle back. I was like, yo, I wrote the Benjamins. I wrote this. I wrote that. I need to get my percentage off these.

That's it. You wrote the Benjamas guy? Just recently. Kiss, you wrote the Benjamins? Yeah, I wrote Buffport. Broke. I was crazy. I didn't know that.
