Four Mines in the building. And we backstage right now at One Music Fest at the Backwoods backstage in Atlanta. So we had to get some real ATL legends up in here. We got none other there. Turkey Ross City.

Hey! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Hey! Man, how does it feel performing at the huge festival in ATL, your home city? How does that feel? It feels good.

Yeah. In a minute. You know what I'm saying? But it feels good. The home always feels great. Yeah, yeah. So man, it's always dope to tune in and see what y'all got going on there on that show. Y'all show y'all ass on that show!

If y'all ever need me to pop up. up and show my ass with y'all. Man, y'all keep that shit interesting. So, like, I always wanted to know, like, how do y'all balance your real life from your work life because y'all married in real life and y'all work together? Do it ever get to a point where it just gets overwhelmed? Sometimes it does.

I'd be lying if I say it didn't. Because we really do, like, everything together from our restaurants, to our clothing stores, to our online businesses, to be doing the documentary together. We have children to raise, and so we do everything together, and we just have to learn how to, like, respect each other, space, communicate the right way, and take a break from the nigger area once in a while.

Yeah, I was going to say that, because I know, like, being on the Internet and looking at all the stuff, people be saying, if you're reading that all the time and you're getting wrapped up in it, I know that can really affect child's relationship, but what I love about child is it seems like y'all don't really let that affect your relationship. Well, no, because one thing about it is none of those people validate shit. Right.

You know what I'm saying? I'm just be honest. Excuse me for me because I'm trying to get me. Oh, we're like, we're going to go all the way. I want to say, you know, when you understand your purpose and understand your solid foundation and realize you're not perfect, you're going to go through shit. And we live in a society where people, they want to give up and they want to move on to something that they think is bigger and better.

And it's normally not that. Right. You know, it's not that way. But for us, you know, we let God leave away. Just keep you to the book. And that's what you got to do. You can't know one. It doesn't matter if you're on TV or not on TV.

You can't allow outside people who don't know you to sit here and get into your head to make you think that there's something that you know you not. Right, right, right. That's true. Right. So how much of the reality show, because I watch Love and Hip-Hipabber season, child. Okay. If you had to give it a percentage of how real it is, how real is it?

I'll say this, how much of our lives do you see on loving hip-hop? You've probably seen 3%. 3% of 100. Three? I mean, think about it. You know what I'd be trying to get people to realize. If people just thought for one second. Okay.

We're on an ensemble show with a bunch of niggas, right? Yeah. How much of our life are you going to get in 48 minutes of an episode? Okay. And let me get in. Say it's things you even wanted to show to the world, like when stuff happened with me, and Rashida. At that time, they might have not felt it was interested

to know. They wanted another narrative came out. Right, right. That's why when you get to watch the journey of Herger and Rashida, you'll get to see the story. Y'all get to see the separate and when shit went rough, but to everybody look like, Hurt's just did all this crazy shit. That's the way y'all seen it.

Yeah. And so there was a space. I have no quarrel's with it. It's a business, y'all. We get up and go to work, just like everybody go to work. Hey, but it didn't happen. did. I won't say it didn't happen the way we wanted it to be shown, but we got to live what it is, what it is. And people watch the show and they respond. Yeah, if it was all real or happened that way. Right. So people respond like it's actually

in real time, right? Yeah, that's been 10 years ago. So it's like, you know what? Sometimes, you know, the cameras are not with you every day, every minute. So when you're going to certain things, the cameras may not be there. But you're like, oh my God. I'm going through this, y'all, then they're going to capture that. Right, right, right. So it's a lot of real things, but sometimes not captured in real time because the camera ain't here with me now. Right, right, right, right.

So could you tell us a little bit more about the documentary? Could you tell us a little more about the documentary? The documentary is actually starts in, I think I started up around 87, 88 in New York. I came to Atlanta in 88, so I kind of bring that journey to Atlanta. And growing up in Harlem, being around a rich quarter of 80, Duwap, Alpo, I was influenced by a lot of things. When I came to Atlanta, I brought like a dirt bike, cars, swag, a lot of stuff. But then Atlanta accepted me in a way that I only was embraced in love.

We're going to get the streets, the love, the music, the kids. Two people from two different places who come together, And we go through a real music industry before social media had to get your fans independent, doors closed, doors open relationship from the real story of relationships to us getting on television, how and why, and the real story behind a lot of things you saw on television. And just our real life is 30 years of ups down, triumph, closed doors. And it got receipts. You're just not telling you it, you're going to see the footage.

Okay, okay. When I go to 88, you're going to see it. When I go to 88, you're going to see it. I was lucky enough to have all that footage. Oh, I love that. I do. I go far back with you. I've been a fan a long time.

I used to be on line wire. Oh, my God. What's up with it? Are you scared? Put my hands on the back of your head. That was my face. So I'm excited to see that. Absolutely.

See it for the start. One important thing I want to say about the journey, though, our documentary, so it's called The Journey, the Untold Story of Kirkland Machita, but you'll see the evolution of Atlanta because we started in Atlanta when it was real dirt, red clay, it wasn't no skyscrapers, there was no hip-hop music scene. There was no, none of that. Nigna, Germain DeBreve, wasn't who he became, all of that. We hadn't developed.

You'll see people and be like, oh, shit, that's such a. Yeah. Before they were signed, when they signed, blew up, disappeared. We have all the things and all the receipts. Oh, wow. It's going to be monumental. It's like sometimes I look at it. I ain't on in front.

I watch certain things. I might drop a tear because somebody's on there that's not even here no more, but they had a career. It's crazy. It's real special. Yeah. Okay. Well, Rashida, you've been able to.

Oh, go ahead. No. I was going to ask you, you've been able to, like, have a long, a long career like so what are you telling the up and coming artists who come up and they say Rashida how you do it what kind of advice are you giving the next generation well one thing I think that people should do period is just be like your authentic self you know we on this we in this world and they just want to put on you know and when you put on it's a constant have to put on to the point to where you don't even you get lost in it and you don't even know who you are

you know what I mean so if you stay true to your work hard, develop a relationship with whatever your higher power is, and understand your purpose and walk in it. And don't give up. Keep faith. Stay focused. And the last thing I want to say is, like this younger generation, they have this instant gratification. And they really don't want to work for nothing. But what you've got to understand is like when you look at people who have really been doing it and doing it, you can't deny the hard work that they put in. and the closed doors that happened. And you just have to stay focused, stay you, and stay moving.

And God leaves you where you're trying to go. That's really good thing. Y'all been preaching ownership for a long time. How did you feel to see that that's the wave with everybody creating content, all the artists coming out saying that they'd rather be independent? But that's been your thing for a minute. We actually have pretty much been independent most of my career. And it's funny because, like, my son marry me has, like, billions of children.

streams and my song Bubblegum, the same billions of streams and sales and all of that. And sometimes people don't realize they're scared to step out there and they think, oh, I need a big machine, oh, I need to do this. No, you can be the captain of your own ship, create your own destiny. And just because it didn't happen back in 2007 when I came out with Bubblegum doesn't mean that it's not going to happen for you later. Right. So if you don't be scared, put your mind to it and go.

out there and do it, you'll reap the benefits for the rest of your life. A lot of these artists, people will talk shit about me. Are Rashida, ain't this. Guess what? Your favorite artists who signed to that big label, I'll forever be more paid. Not being funny, but it's ownership, it never stops. So every year when Mary Me goes viral, every now every year when bubblegum goes viral and all of these songs, it's like, that's my 401K. Right.

That's my retirement. Kirk, I saw when you was posting the numbers of the real certifications, and it was crazy. So, big salute to y'all. I got to ask you this before you get out of here. I know you love the old school cars. I see you on Instagram. You buy them, restoring, a lot of the late models, 80s, BMW, businesses and shit. What you're working on right now?

You said, which one I'm... What you're working on right now? Okay. Right now I'm working on the first, the 88 M5. So I have the first, I got the first, second, and third M5s that ever came out. I got most of my car lineup are all appreciating assets everything I own except two
