America, the other day, Rams it is. Hey! What's up, Brad? Let me a war with you? Hey, come on. It got a good new ring to it, don't it? What? I take that.

I've been working a long time. Well, they made me work for that life. Boy, they made me work for that boy. It feels good, man. He's definitely going to celebrate it. I'm grateful. So, so, man, just tell us, man, how the journey been? We've been watching, but how the journey been, man?

How do you feel? Let me start there. How you feel? I feel amazing. I feel full. I feel so full. You know, you should know it's different when you really understand who you are and return back to why you're doing it. And you don't care about, like you surrender.

I am surrendering. Can I cuss up here? Yeah, sure. From all you niggers. Right. And living for self. So it's been beautiful. Like, you know, you attract all the things.

My artist, Nico Brimmy, I just talked to him. This is first Dreamville festival that he performed. You know, we got the Grammy, well-received album. I'm on to the next album. We're on the road again. You're on the road again. So, yeah, I'm just, I'm living in the light, man. I feel great.

Man, it's beautiful. Like, to watch your journey, you know what I'm saying, to watch it. You know what I'm saying? Since day one, I remember being on Wild and out. You feel, man. You're coming to 85, South, right? You know, and for me to be an artist, even just bummed with artists, man, just to see you flourish, man, just to see you, you know what I'm saying, receive your flowers. And then also, you're putting other people on, man.

So how does it feel to be a Dreamville, not only as a artist, but as a Grammy executive? Not a Grammy, that's new a Grammy exact thing. You got to talk, you got to talk. That's how you get the check. Yo, man, you look, let me tell you, when you got somebody else's life in your hands, it's different. It's a different type of pressure You know But it's a good welcome pressure

It's a beautiful challenge Because I have to trust that I have walked this walk I've learned what I've learned I've met the people I've need to meet To be able to make his path a lot easier And it feels good To watch him do what he does

And to see like through the show More crowd come And the ovation afterwards I'm like yo we're doing what we're supposed to do He's doing what he's supposed to do So that's what it is Just spreading the light man Like I'm happy

that's all. They're speaking of spreading the light too. I have to ask you this. I have been meaning to sit down and ask you this question. What is it? Well, every time I see an argument going back and forth online when people talk about hip-hop discussions and they talk about the state of female rap right now

and how the girls are only talking about rapping and twerk and they always want to throw your name in there to shade what other women are doing. And I always say if they're a true fan of you and who you are and your music, You wouldn't even be using your name to say other people. So how does that make you feel when you see that comparison like that? I mean, it's the wrong energy.

Again, that's not the energy that I walk in. I support the village, the sisterhood. There's space for all of us. You know, everybody's story is needed. You know, it's going to touch somebody. And whatever music, man, woman, animal child, whatever is not for you, like, go find us for you and pour into that. But, you know, please don't ever use my name.

to put down another woman. Like, that's not how this thing goes. It's not how it works. That's not people that know me, like really know me and a part of what I do, they know I don't really stand for that. Yeah. You know, I celebrate all women. If that's your truth, that's your truth.

Only thing I pray for all artists, whoever it is, that you're doing things that make you happy and you're not doing things that you feel like you have to do or somebody is forcing you to do, that you feel like you have to walk a certain path to be successful, I'm always going to be there, like whatever your story is, whatever your truth is, however you want to show up in the world as long as you doing that authentically I applaud you

that's all that matters can the church say amen amen amen amen master collection plate up who what he say close the doors close the doors I close the doors I close the doors oh man so what's next for like like it's beautiful it's like seeing a flower just awesome you too though you're last The last time I saw you, we did 85 South. We had a good time, but we sat in the truck and you played me to jam. You feel me? Like.

You feel me? To watch, like, from when I first got on to you to wilding out to 85 to like the growth in music, I'm going to give you a flower. I'm so proud of you. I appreciate it. See that's all that I'm amazing, man. Y'all not even in the art, but I'm with your family too. Amazing, man. I love you.

What's next for me? I'm back in the lab working on new music. It won't be five years again. We ain't on that train no more We continue in to build the business Continuing to pour in the Nico Brim You know, I like to get in the film world So, hey man, I know you in that world

Soon as you said, my look Lightball went up, I'm like, hey man Listen, I got so funny Yeah, give me the jewels Whatever, I'm here to be a student and learn Listen, I got you I got you, I can't wait So yeah, that's the things

It's always growing Always growing, expanding the creativity So I have to ask you, you are obviously a legend And you've worked with a lot of legendary artists as well I have to know how was it to work with Stevie Wonder Ah, yo See, it was amazing to be able to say I created with him Right

You know, I build a relationship with him Like he called me on my birthdays And sings me happy birthday He calls me random That's a huge thing That's a huge thing! I was just saying it I'm not taking it like that's normal. I'm not taking it like milk at all.

I'm like, he can throw you and say it. Oh, yeah. That's crazy. That's like one of the first things he'll ask you, he'd be like, what's your sign when you're birthday? And he'd be like, because he's saving it. He'll call you and sing you happy birthday. He facetimes me randomly.

We didn't get to work in the studio together. Yeah, that's crazy. We didn't get to work in the studio together. I still hope that I can have that experience. But, you know, just to have that relationship, I can't even articulate it. Like, he's the one. Yeah. Songs in the key of life.

Like, he's the one. But he's so humble. He's hilarious. You need to have him on the show. I can't wait. Because he is a jokester. No, no, like, no, he's funny. I fought with.

The first time I talked to him, somebody called me and patched me in. And I was like, yo, I was talking this dude with a London voice. And I'm like, I thought I was supposed to be talking to Stevie. Like, we talked for like 15, 20 minutes. I got up, I said, who was that? His manager? He was like, oh, you didn't catch you that with Stevie. He was fucking with you.

He was talking to the Lutche, man. Let me find out Steve Goofy hair, man. See, what a goofy head, oh, man. Yeah, y'all two together would crack me up. That thing is Stevie Goofy, man. Yeah, yeah, absolutely. That's fine, man. Man, don't let this be your last time coming, man.

Rocking with us, 85 Southmore mind, man. You're family. I came to enjoy myself. And when I saw you, I was like, oh, I got to go talk to the family. You feel me? So that was an extra. They didn't even have you on the list, huh? No, no, no, no, no.

Oh, see what I'm saying? We get walk-ups around here. Stop playing with us. We got real deal friends. This ain't no PR movement. No, this ain't any of P. We can go through no trailer, no none of that. Excuse me, letting them vote through.

Yo, please. Yeah, I ain't even. decked out like that, but I was like, I don't care. I'm going to talk to the family. So it's good to see y'all. I'm happy with everything y'all are doing. Give me to the coach. Love, baby.
