Starting point is 00:00:00 No Jumper. Coolest podcast in the world. And if Drew and film it, then it ain't filmed right. How you doing? If you didn't film it, it ain't filmed right. How are you? Doing good. How are you? Excellent, man.
Starting point is 00:00:09 Nice to have you in here. Very talented young man. I'm sure you saw on Tracks interview when basically he just like was talking about what a big role that you have in his company. And I was kind of surprised because I've seen you out here doing videos. But I didn't know how big your involvement was in the whole 100K brand and everything. so I'm glad we get to have this conversation. For sure, for sure.
Starting point is 00:00:32 We started from just ride around Florida, traveling here and there in a car. Definitely. So what part of Florida are you from? St. Pete. St. Pete. Okay. And so what was your childhood like?
Starting point is 00:00:42 And how did you even, like, when did you first even have any kind of interest in doing something creative? Like, as far as the music industry-wise? Yeah, but let's talk about where you're from exactly. St. Pete. No, basically I just grew up playing sports. Really?
Starting point is 00:00:55 Going to school, playing sports. Nothing too crazy. And then I started getting into the music thing around like 15, 16. Okay. I bought a studio engineer, you know the little studio engineers in the home. Right. I got one of those. All my dog came over after school, recorded.
Starting point is 00:01:09 I was the engineer. So that's how I really got started in it. And then I just got the videos because everyone needed a video to blow up. The images become before the song. Right. So I bought a camera then got good at that. But were you just a huge music fan in that? And you just were you thinking like, I got to find a way to get into this game
Starting point is 00:01:25 and the engineer thing seemed like it made sense at first? Yeah. Not I love music. I do it because I love music. Right. I can't make music, so. Did you know, do you know any rappers at that time or anybody like that you thought had any potential? I mean, yeah, Rod early on, you know, Rob, Project Young and people from the city.
Starting point is 00:01:43 Okay. But the big first, like, person I did was Little Mouse. Okay. He came in the city. Little Mouse. A little mouse. I kind of remember him. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:01:52 That's crazy. Okay. But so you sort of like, but was it a thing? where like even when you were in high school and shit like there was just a lot of rappers in the city and that shit was all around you so it seemed like a logical thing for you to get into were you intimidated at all or did you have any like good entryways into it i mean not really i just kind of start my own lane and kind of went with with what i had but yeah everyone wanted to be a rapper right everyone always wanted to do that better go to the NFL NBA and you never thought that you would be a rapper no no no you never
Starting point is 00:02:21 thought about it no i didn't that i never did that that's good that's good that you know that's good that You know that, though. There might be something in me, though. You think? Sometimes think? Maybe you never know. Anything's possible? Just dream.
Starting point is 00:02:33 Definitely. Okay, so when you started doing videos, though, did you have any kind of inspiration to do videos, or where did that idea come from? Or who were you looking at for insight? It was just really my dog. I just got a camera, went to the studio, learned it. The first video I tried to shoot, I took a photo.
Starting point is 00:02:51 I was taking photos the whole time. I thought I was recording. I was, oh, Lord, I hate to tell him. I'm like, bro, I ain't got no footage. Holy shit. So I was taking photos the whole time. Thought it was videos. Oh, my God.
Starting point is 00:03:02 That's so fucking funny. It was the worst feeling in the world. Right there. Holy shit. But so, okay, how did you go about learning to use the camera and stuff, though? Were you just on YouTube watching tutorials and shit? YouTube in class. Right.
Starting point is 00:03:14 Definitely. And so how long did it take before you felt like you kind of were getting good at it? Um, I don't know. I'll probably say six months. That felt comfortable in making a good video. at least to a year probably like I could I felt comfortable in doing it right yeah what's the key to making a good video when you're operating on a small budget creativity just tell the story make the song better than what the song is right yeah yeah it's probably to go to I feel like it's
Starting point is 00:03:42 just finding a lot of moments that are just like exciting on camera and it's like it it becomes really really hard in a really short period of time to like come up with things that will actually look interesting on camera, especially when you, you know, you've seen a million, you know, alleyways. You've seen a million guys sitting on their couch. You've seen a million guys sitting on their porch, whatever. It's like, you know, that's why I feel like people end up relying on a lot of, like, guns and drugs and stuff, because it's just like something to look at. It kind of makes the shot more exciting. A lot of that's cop and paced it a lot. Do you feel like you see a lot of people kind of relying on that? It's kind of weird how consistent the gun thing is in videos now.
Starting point is 00:04:21 No, I stopped that. I was always going by on internet because all the guns point out the camera. I don't even shoot videos like that at all anymore or you try to avoid it I try to avoid it it It happens here and there right yeah because it's kind of crazy like once rappers get big enough Then they kind of have to fall back with it not for sure definitely that that happens super consistently Okay so did you have any big videos come out like early on before the the Melly thing because the Melly thing was the first thing that sort of really blew up right? Yeah Melly definitely took it took me to the millions for show but before that I mean I I had a couple here and there at a six-figure range, a couple of low $100,000 and stuff like that.
Starting point is 00:05:00 Right. But, yeah, Melly was the first M, I think I touched. Okay. And so, but once you have a couple that are doing a couple hundred thousand, do you start having a lot of people hitting you up, trying to pay you to do videos for them and shit?
Starting point is 00:05:10 It's just the name around the city. I was kind of like, there was a couple other videographers around when I was doing it. But, like, I was the one to just grind and working and after work, go do a video, do two videos in a day. Right.
Starting point is 00:05:21 So my name was just kind of here or there. Definitely. And it's kind of like there's a lot of different paths that you can take if you want to do videos. Like I've seen people who they've got their own YouTube channel, they'll shoot a video for any motherfucker that wants to do a video. And, you know, they just kind of grind it out like that. And they're probably making good money just doing a million fucking videos. Or, you know, like on the far end of the spectrum, you have like Cole Bennett who basically like took doing videos and created an insane brand over it. And basically by focusing in on being rare.
Starting point is 00:05:52 Not that dude. He definitely put something else on. Have you ever tapped in with him? You met him? Yeah, me and Co Cool. Yeah, yeah. Was he somebody you were looking at as like kind of inspiration for what you were thought was possible?
Starting point is 00:06:02 Yeah, before that it was either like Aze or him. Right. Aze or him. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, there's been a, it really is an interesting thing because like the videographers have kind of like come out of the shadows, you know? Like it used to be like.
Starting point is 00:06:15 Hype Williams. One or two, now there's about 10. Right. Like Hype Williams was like the one name that everybody goes to from the 90s and shit. But now they're like you can create a, YouTube channel and create an identity for yourself? It's like... It's like building your own brand.
Starting point is 00:06:26 You're kind of an artist in a way. Yeah. In another way. Definitely. Yeah. Okay, so how did you meet Melly? What was that like the first time we met him? I met Melly.
Starting point is 00:06:36 I first heard about Milly. I was going to the beach on a regular day. And one of the girls I was with played a song where I'm on my mind. So when I heard that song, I'm like, who the hell is this guy? This shit, hard is hell. So I ended up DM and him and he was locked up for what he was locked up for at that time. and Track had DME back from his page. So then me and track started talking.
Starting point is 00:06:56 And he DME in school, so I walked out of class. I was like, oh, I'm done with school. Really? That's all I needed. You walked out of school entirely right then? Yeah, I went to the restroom and shit, but like, just to call him on the phone. Right.
Starting point is 00:07:05 But that's how I felt. I was like, oh, yeah, I don't need nothing else. And then, so time goes on several months. Me and Track were going around Florida. We shot two videos for Melly, 7-7-2 love and catching feelings. Right. And then he had got out in February, in February time. And he just brought me along ever since he got out.
Starting point is 00:07:23 Right. Just right by side. How did you guys hit it off so well? What do you think it was about your personality? What was your impression of his personality? I couldn't believe it. He was like, yeah, I went to Miami. Every day since I was in Miami with him.
Starting point is 00:07:38 Right. But no, it was cool. Chemistry was far. We would just shoot and have fun and just fun and just fun. Like, it was just fun? That's all we had was fun. Right. But was it weird to kind of become a part of his,
Starting point is 00:07:51 team did you feel like you became a part of the team as opposed to you know doing your own thing and like going out and trying to find videos to shoot every day yeah i could say that yeah but did you believe in him so much that you just yeah because before he was even out we were shooting videos for him so he was probably like why these guys out here doing this i don't even know him right why is he shooting a video for me how do you shoot videos when he's not around you were just shooting all those other random stuff um well we brought some family members inside and made the song feel how it felt okay little b-slam was in there so we made beast lime as Melly we did all that
Starting point is 00:08:22 Okay right That makes sense Um Okay and so then But like how does your life Sort of change up from there Like I mean Melly went from You know when you met him
Starting point is 00:08:33 He was like very very small And then within you know a year or so It's like he's just gigantic Just blowing the fuck up I think it blew all of our minds up We believed it But it just when it happened it happened So we were just like
Starting point is 00:08:46 Then we kind of just did it Yeah No, definitely. I mean, it was just crazy to see that. Like, I mean, you know, and he's somebody that like I saw and I believed in early on, but even when I believe in the artist, it's like, to see him take it to a level that big is always fucking shocking because so many people I've believed in over the years, but then they didn't really like have the smarts or whatever to really make it happen. One thing in my belly, though, he never stopped working though. He never got too comfortable. He was in a studio every night trying to shoot a video every morning before the studio. Right. I was in the, I was in the studio editing the video. We shot in the video. We shot in the. daytime while he was recording at night right this week just kept it kept going yeah so did you shoot the murder on my mom video no okay so they had somebody else shoot that you just did the behind the scenes yeah did the behind the scenes i was there i was kind of like learning how to do a bigger production
Starting point is 00:09:32 because i was still coming up and stuff interesting so have you what's that been like just kind of like learning to shoot more and more involved videos you can't shoot how you shot how you used to right like you got to have a whole shot list you got to have everything's timed it's a whole whole bit it's a whole other like aspect i was like damn this is kind of hard really because you you can't think about creative you can't think about creative because you got to worry about is this actor's ready to go on set so there's a lot going on usually it's just me and the camera melly right go run around the city i guess i never thought about how involved it gets as you fucking get the bigger bigger levels and all that damn so do you miss doing the the single shot sort of
Starting point is 00:10:11 videos where it's just you and the rapper no those are my favorite videos i just did one for hot boy a couple days ago right yeah definitely we're going to talk about all the different artists that you guys are dealing with on 100k and stuff but when did you become introduced to the idea of 100k as this company and how did uh what did you think of that at first the past couple years um but nah it was a hundred k since the start though but it's something we went by and it just turned it like an artist blowing up and did track out of that name before you came on board okay but from very early on like it was just decided that you know exactly what when he had it but i I heard it for show. What year do you think it was? Yeah, so we're on that time probably like
Starting point is 00:10:52 17, 2017. Definitely. So what, you know, what was your, like, I know now you're doing like the A&R thing for the brand and everything, but how did you, how is your like role and it changed over time? Were you supposed to just be the video guy at first? And how's that changed? I mean, yeah, I came up as a video guy, but yeah, a lot of change. I'm in the office every day doing stuff I didn't think I would be doing. But since the start, I was. track was like that camera's not going to be in your hands forever. That camera's going to be at your hands soon. I was like, yeah, right.
Starting point is 00:11:23 So what kind of stuff are you working on now in terms of like the label and stuff? Like what, the involvement? Like if you're not shooting videos, what kind of other ways do you find to make yourself useful? The artists drop on time, the cover arts there, producer agreements are there, making sure artists are posting on their page. You know, just kind of the whole brand and the whole, it makes sure everything runs smoothie. So when you go into the office every day, like where does your, do you have a schedule of shit to work on? just kind of like picking and choosing all the different things that you could work on. I mean, not as a for sure schedule, but I picked and choose throughout the day, which when I'm going to do first.
Starting point is 00:11:55 Like before I go in there, I know what I'm going to do throughout the day. Right. Edit this video, but by 1 o'clock, I wanted that video done so I can go focus on this. Definitely. So, Hot Boy, where is he from? Orlando. Okay, Orlando. And he's, how did you guys meet him?
Starting point is 00:12:10 How do we meet? I met him actually in the high care office. Okay. I think that's the first time I met him. But I knew about him since high school. He had a couple of our songs that kind of we knew in the city. Right. But, yeah, I met him in the 100K office.
Starting point is 00:12:23 Mike had brought him through. And so what do you feel like, what do you feel like 100K can, like, offer with somebody like him that has a couple of popping songs and you feel like, yeah, star power? What made you want to work with him in the first place? Just at the end of the day, it's that loyalty, it's that vibe you get from someone you can just go have fun, shoot. It's like shooting melody all over again. Yeah. It's that connection, that team chemistry. Definitely.
Starting point is 00:12:46 Do you feel or like so what kind of stuff do you feel like you guys add to his career that he wouldn't necessarily have going on his own? Probably motivation and a team that's behind him that he knows he can trust and just keep doing what he thinks is best for him. That's probably, I feel you for sure. Okay, so how has, where were you when you found out about Mellie's legal situation and how is like your whole role changed since, since all that happened. Ain't nothing changed because he's coming home. You were just on the phone with him as you guys came in. Yeah, yeah, yeah, for sure.
Starting point is 00:13:25 How often are you talking to him? Talk to him here and there. But his album got to go crazy and stuff, so we just going over video ideas and seeing what he wants to do for that. How tough is that to get creative and make a video while somebody's still locked up? With him is easy because his mind's already flowing.
Starting point is 00:13:43 He's already thinking about it. So he's hitting you with ideas? Yeah, yeah, but I ain't a lot. he hit me the other day and he was like, bro, I have no idea for this video. I was like, that doesn't make any sense. You can't think of one idea? Really? Yeah, it blew my mind because he always comes up me with the ideas.
Starting point is 00:13:56 And so then what? You have to sort of get creative on his end? Yeah, I'm like a creative, listen to the song, think back deep deep into the lyrics, just kind of figure out what he's talking about. Definitely. He sounds crazy positive. Like, when you were just on the phone with him, it was kind of mind-belowing. I'm like, that's not how people usually sound in prison.
Starting point is 00:14:14 I never seen him negative. Really? I don't think I have. And if it is about something little. Let's see, that's interesting because like when, like, Vlad was asking me the other day about how, about when I interviewed Melly. And he was like, I was like, you know, when I met him, he was like super high energy. There was only around him two times, I think. He was, he was super high energy when I met him.
Starting point is 00:14:33 And then when we did the interview, he was like in a weird, like, quiet mood. And I didn't necessarily know why. But that's interesting. You're saying that he's always got positive energy. Could have woke, had a bad food that day. Yeah. Yeah. I don't know.
Starting point is 00:14:45 But also, like, a lot of rappers when you do an interview, you know, they get a little defensive just because, you know, they're a little worried that there's going to be all this crazy shit you could potentially ask them about. They don't know what they're going to walk into, I guess. Oh, yeah, definitely. Now, I fuck with Mellie. But, I mean, when somebody like, Hamo has those legal shit, it's like, you got to just start the conversation out, like, we got to be careful here.
Starting point is 00:15:06 You know, I'm not trying to fucking ask you anything that you're going to be, you know, that's going to fuck your situation up. Yeah. Yeah. I don't want to do an interview that you're, you're the, you're going to be in a interview that you're then not going to be able to put out you know. Thanks. Definitely.
Starting point is 00:15:18 So, okay, you just uploaded this Melly Kanye, King Vaughn Chief Chief Studio session the other day. Yeah. It's just wowing out in the studio just rapping with Kanye watching and King Vaughn's there way before he blew up and shit, right? Yeah, Vaughn was there behind just chilling. He was just there just chilling. How did that studio session come together? What do you remember from that?
Starting point is 00:15:41 That was a little while ago. But it was just really Melly and Kanye going back and forth, freestown over some tracks, getting the vibe together, seeing feeling themselves out, you know? And I don't think they did anything that night. We were just there freestyleed and I was just hanged up. How did you guys even end up in the studio with Kanye? He reached out?
Starting point is 00:16:00 Yeah, I believe he reached out to Mellie, for sure. And where was that? What city? I think that one was Florida. I think it was in Miami. Okay. I think so. Damn.
Starting point is 00:16:09 And so what do you remember from, like, observing Kanye, like, seeing Melly and, like, like, what was their connection like? And do you feel like... He was kind of starstruck, I don't know, la. He would just kind of listen to him. Melly was, did, like, 10 freestyles back to back. Right. Like, Kanye can go.
Starting point is 00:16:23 He's like, no, Meli can keep going. Like, that's just the energy he gave. Yeah, that's kind of his whole thing. Like, that's one thing I always said is, like, I saw a track in him in the studio where he recorded this whole crazy-ass freestyle and then track kind of came in afterwards and, like, cut out parts and, like, arranged it a little bit. Really, but with an existing freestyle from a while ago? Literally last night.
Starting point is 00:16:45 Really? Yeah. Damn. So it's usually like that? Yeah. I mean, he just going freestyle, piece it together. That's crazy. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:16:53 So how well did you get to know King Vaughn? Good, just like Melly. Really? Yeah, for sure. What was your impression of him? Same thing, the chemistry he was real one. Real dude. Definitely.
Starting point is 00:17:07 How did you feel when you found out about Habino? I couldn't believe it. But shit, he would have kept going. No, yeah, it's super, super tragic. Okay, what about shooting like the Fredo Bang and Dirk video recently, which that was one time that I've just heard your fucking tag a million times because I just keep watching that video because I love that song so much. Whatever.
Starting point is 00:17:33 How'd you end up shooting that video? How did you meet Fredo in him? I met Fredo early on. I actually met Fredo. I did a documentary with him in my mixtapes. I went out to his city like a while ago. Really? Yeah, before he was like really Fredo, Fredo.
Starting point is 00:17:47 I did a documentary. We had linked up, caught a vibe. It was just, we caught a vibe. And ever since then, we just stayed in contact, and I shot several of his other videos and just built that connection. Like, I'll pull up on him, chop it up, have fun, without even no business shit.
Starting point is 00:18:04 Right. Yeah. So you're just rolling around in his city with him? Yeah, because we shot in Baton Rouge. But the top video we shot in Florida. Right. Yeah, we shot that in Florida. Do you ever end up in situations where you're a little worried for your own safety,
Starting point is 00:18:16 where you feel like, you know, some shit could definitely go down here? I mean, yeah, anything could happen any second. So, yeah, I think like that, but I don't think so. Really? Yeah. It seems like you guys are surrounded by some real ones. Yeah, for sure. Sure, for sure.
Starting point is 00:18:33 Definitely. Okay, what about bee slime? Like, when did you realize that he wanted to be a rapper? What's that been like? I mean, him and Melly was at up in the studio too. So, I mean, he took it serious. And then we shot that one video of Slam Dreams. Shot it all in his house underneath his own bed, outside in the front yard, and it just hit millions.
Starting point is 00:18:53 I was like, oh, shit, he could do something now. Right. So then we started going crazy. We started doing videos. And then he became B. Slime. Yeah, it does seem kind of crazy. Like, he's so young and he has all these young-ass kids that are like really, really, really, really. excited about him. Yeah, no, I picked him up from school a couple of times and the car would be
Starting point is 00:19:13 surrounded. Really? Yeah. Even at a school? At a school. He's still in school? No, no, he's still in school. No, I got too crazy. Damn. Yeah. I think he's being a rapper. That's fucking wild. Okay, so are you in the business of like finding new artists? Are you like really looking for new artists? Yeah, we recently just signed a new artist. He's from Cincinnati. Okay. Trench baby. You heard of him? It sounds familiar, yeah? No, he's hard. He's really hard. We got him at like 100 followers.
Starting point is 00:19:41 Really? Yeah. So that's what it's all about for you is just finding somebody like real talented early. Seeing the image. Really just a chemistry, but we got. But finding them early too, right? Because I mean, if you find somebody and they've already got like a couple million followers. Yeah, you've got to build them up.
Starting point is 00:19:54 Kind of different. Yeah. Hmm. You've got to build them up though. That's the hardest part. Right. You have a fan base. How important do you think social media is in terms of like how involved do you get in saying like,
Starting point is 00:20:06 yo, your fucking Instagram is whack. You need to do this, this and this. I do that sometimes. I don't know. I'll be deleting posts here and there archiving them. Right. Yeah. It's very big.
Starting point is 00:20:15 I think Instagram, all that. Now TikTok. TikTok's a big thing now. Yeah. That's a lot to have to fucking take on as a label is to be doing all that kind of different shit. I mean, that's a lot. Yeah, because every time I post a video on Instagram, it's on every other site. Right.
Starting point is 00:20:30 I just do it. So they can build all together. Definitely. Okay. Oh, yeah. I wanted to ask you this. What is the most cliche shit in music videos? Like, what is the shit that, like,
Starting point is 00:20:43 you're the most sick of seeing in the music video? What you mean? Like, just like anything that, like, you know, people think it's tight. I think this is a really good idea to just do this in a video. And then it's just, in reality. All the guns.
Starting point is 00:20:56 Everyone just want to have a gun in the video. Right. Probably so. Yeah. It gets kind of played out at a certain point. Although, you know, it's a big part of people's lives. But it's also kind of like, why does it have to always be?
Starting point is 00:21:07 incorporated but don't just point it out the camera yeah sometimes you can tell that they like really feel like that's like maybe a little bit more important i mean those videos do go the most viral though yeah no you go the most vibe you have a gun in the thumbnail definitely i've noticed the trend there could definitely be many more views for the gun on the thumbnail trick um what was it like working with uzi uh shit i'm gonna say it again he reminded me of melly same person i told him that to his face i was like i feel like i'm filming melly right now really yeah what he seemed to think of that No, he would just like, what's my brother? That's my twin. That's what he kept saying. Really? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:21:42 Damn. Have you ever worked with Kodak? No. No, you haven't really? I haven't worked with him yet. Now he's finally out. You've got to tap in. Definitely so. No, I know a lot of his people that have you're around. Definitely. When do you decide to get the iced out grill, the permanence?
Starting point is 00:22:02 It was a phone call. What I had with track on some real shit? It was just phone call. I'm going to get him. He's like, you should get him. Next week I was in Houston. getting molded. But I was really wanted the pullouts. Right. Nah, hell, no. You couldn't do it?
Starting point is 00:22:15 Nah, hell, no. You can't do no pullouts. They're perms. I got the pull-outs. I'm not going to lie. I got like a fucking ice style one when I first, first started getting money. I wore it two times.
Starting point is 00:22:25 I never put it back on. I would have lost them. I feel like if I put it back on right now that it would probably not fit right. Like my teeth must have moved around and shit, right? I think mine already moved too. I only had them in for like six months. I kind of feel like they're moving.
Starting point is 00:22:37 Definitely. Have you regretted it at all? It feels good? I'm gonna keep them in for life now. It feels fine when you're eating and shit. Yeah, you can't taste the food until like it hits your tongue and shit. Like, you know, you bite into something. You don't really taste that right away.
Starting point is 00:22:50 That is weird. Yeah, I got used to it, though. You are kind of tasting food through your teeth, huh? Yeah, I get. Because when I got them taking out to get clean, I ate something, I was like, oh my God. This shit feels good. Fuck. That's actually really interesting.
Starting point is 00:23:05 I got to work on that. I got to think about that more. Like your teeth. kind of like help you taste food but hey you got to flex you know um i guess so so what do you have a plan in terms of new stuff that's on the way and whatnot um just helping these artists build up um that's on the roster um who else who else is on the list there's a whole list i know there's like a hundred fucking people right yeah there are a lot of them but um i'd have to pull them up the top of the list of like people who are dropping like shit coming up
Starting point is 00:23:38 soon. Melly, Hot Boy. All right. So, Melly, for sure, hot boy, long-lif-on. We just got these new artists. Armand-Trey. Got some R&B artists. We just dropped the video for them like a week ago. Okay. They're hard, though. They're real hard.
Starting point is 00:23:51 And then, like I said, we got slime. We got 30 deep in them. Oh, okay. 30-deep grimy. Yeah, yeah. How'd you go start working with him? Might, right? How we get 30 in them?
Starting point is 00:24:07 I forgot this. Some of the artists. Definitely. Yeah, Selele. Another team that we'd be working with. Definitely. You got any advice for young people that are trying to, you know,
Starting point is 00:24:22 get in the game doing the music video thing? Just really be you. Try to think, doing something different creatively. I'm the type not that you really use the effects. I feel like effects are played out in a sense. Make it realistic if you're going to do it. Right. But I really just say, tell us.
Starting point is 00:24:39 story, make the song better than what the song was already what it was. Definitely. That's real. Anything else you want to say out there to the people out there? Not really, Melly's coming home and if you didn't film and ain't film or? How did that come about? Who said that? Tracks Wife.
Starting point is 00:24:58 Oh, okay. But CEO, the company as well, AA. Okay. Where the slogan itself come from, though? I honestly think we just, we just on a video set one day. set one day and we're like one of my daughters like exo lit it but like he lit it because we're talking about the lights because he was holding the lights and then track out of nowhere just said a dude didn't film it it ain't film right we're like what the hell that's the slogan right there
Starting point is 00:25:21 i didn't really like it at first though when i put in the video i was like i don't like it sounds kind of like it sounds weird it's boastful yeah it's like corny kind of like hey everybody else sucks a film besides me yeah and then and then we ended up put in the videos and that's what people sort of noticing me by is that tag and i was like okay maybe it works you start building a brand like that. I like it now. Who are your Grail artists that you would like to fuck with? If you could shoot a video for anybody tomorrow.
Starting point is 00:25:46 The same people I have been. The same team. No Adele or Billy Iris Dreams or something. I'm chewing with what I got now. Yeah. Yeah. I feel it. All right.
