from 85 South Show. And we're here at Dreamville, 2025 at Backwoods, Backstage. And y'all know, I'm from Houston, so I'm always excited to talk to a fellow Texan. So we got Big X, the plug, on the couch. Hey, period. Period. Yeah, we got to get into it. Yes, how are you doing today?

Yeah. But I'm blessed. I can't complain. Yeah. So you just dropped a fire single, okay? I grew up on Shanah Twain and Dixie Chick. I'm waiting on this. So what made you go country with all the way?

For me, I think it was just more of showing, like, just my artistry. Yeah. Like, in this industry, they like to put, oh, you sound like this or you hip-hop. You sound like this or you're R&B. So I just felt like, why not show them? I can sound like this and do all the motherfuckers. Went crazy on it. Now, you're down here in Dreamville, man.

This is a big festival, man. So how I feel to be down here in Dreamville, man? You know what I'm saying? Performing in front of what, 20, 30,000 people. First off, the Carolinas, love them. Yeah. The people, the women, I love it out here. Man, it's like, I feel like I've been in Houston a lot,

but I think this is like a second home of mine, like, that's right. Every time I'm out here, it's just love, every time from the artists, from the regular people to, it's just always a good time out here for sure. That's right. That's me. This event, man, it's just, like I said, it's just another blessing, like to do it. to do it and to just to see the people's reaction you know what I'm saying it's a blessing

yes sir so we're gonna do a little trivia with you real quick let's see in the weird here we go uh-oh uh-oh hope it ain't ain't nothing crazy i know me neither here we go oh truth a damn oh truth are there uh-oh we got what you got let's see i ain't got no truth to death question you know I ain't got none okay let me see do we have any in here I ain't know me okay you know what Spin it again, spin it again. We don't go to truth of death. We ain't got no truth of death.

We don't got no truth of death. That's freak-ass shit. See, see, see, see. Oh, I can't finish the lyric. Okay. Are you good at lyrics? Are you a karaoke star? It depends on what genre we are in.

All right, all right, all right. Give them something good, Dreya. Okay, I'm trying to find it. Okay. I'm going to give you something easy. I got one. Go ahead. I'm a savage

classy look I'm going to wait for the rest I'm like that's good I'm going to think about webbing I'm like I can't give it that I feel like

I feel like you're asking I don't know you're protecting I got to lie y'all you are you are you are you're back in the tagging listen I love Megan right I love I love all the women

doing their thing in the industry right yeah I'm not going to lie Like, when you came on the scene, it was very refreshing. Like, your voice is unique. Facts. Facts. You pick the best samples.

And I know right now a lot of people are like, oh, my God, sampling is overdone. But I think it's an art to picking samples. What's the process when you choose a song that you want to sample? I mean, with everything I make, you just got to feel my soul. Yeah. So if I feel it in my soul, then it's like me and my producers, shout out of our band played, Tony Codes. Right. We've been working so long.

It's like we got the same. So whenever they're making the beat and they feel it, it's like they already know. That's why we don't, we don't miss. You're right, dude. You heard that boy, we don't miss, you hear of the dream team. We're in the twines. Yeah. So I know people blowing up your line, you know, wanting to work with you, but who is on your wish list or somebody you want to work with?

Uh, what's crazy is I've never been like one of those, oh, I want to do a, you know what I'm saying, with this person. But, I mean, I feel like the obvious, like the Drake's, right? The Wayne's. Like, all the OGs on the top dollars right now. Yeah. Got to, you would be crazy not to. Especially when they reach out. No, for sure.

For what? Yeah. I'm talking about Snoop dog. I'm ready to do it. Yeah. Right. Hey, Snoop, Snoop be watching now. No, I'm already going.

This couch. This couch is fruition. Uncle Snoot. Yeah. We're going to roll bigger backwood? Uh-huh. And we're going to get winning. That's the one they're going to get them.

I heard to say about the backwoods. And then listen, look, Uncle since you listen, I got a cousin right. He don't smoke. He don't drink. He don't do nothing. He said, the only time he's ever going to pick up any type of marijuana is if it's with Uncle Snoop. Ooh. Uncle Snoop.

Uncle Snoop helped me. Well, Snoo's got an agenda, man. No, for sure. A track and a roll of session. No, for count, man. We appreciate you, brother. I appreciate your husband. Anytime, man, you got something coming out.
