We're taking it back. Yeah, no, that's automatic. You know, because R&B music and country music is really the same thing.

Okay. You know what I'm saying? It's just country music is just R&B. It's like white R&B. Yeah. I never thought about it that way, wait, wait. But it is. Yeah.

It is white R&B is rhythmless blues. Yeah. No, I'm not. Rhythmless. Rhythmless.

Stories, I mean, I could just tell you, man, it was like the best, I had the best opportunity in the world, man, to work with, work with one of the greatest artists in the world who just always, she always carried herself in such a professional way. always made you feel important you know what I'm saying um I'm gonna be honest I think the way she treated me was probably what really inspired me the most because I felt like you know

I never really had a limit she never limited me to any type of idea you know she was excited about my ideas you know what I'm saying so we were able to do amazing things like ring the alarm or give me body and upgrade you and diva and just changed the world man so I love I love looking at her shows and seeing the fans go crazy whenever she performs like Diva or ring the alarm. Yeah, it's great, man. And that diva, that whole build-up when she's doing that shit. Oh, yeah.

That shit made me a fan. She breaks it down. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. You show you where the Diva really bought. Yeah, and that's dope to see her, like, enjoying performing that shit, you know, and knowing where the place it in the show where it's like that shit going to hit hard every time. No, she's great at putting that whole thing together, man.

It's just amazing, man. You know, it's funny, that song, Deva, I actually had called Jay. I was like, Jay, I got something crazy for being. He was like, yeah, kid. So I sent him that man, and it was, I'm sure he hit me back in about 10 minutes. She wanted you to be here tomorrow. I was like, where? Bro.

It was great. I think you just said that shit like it was normal. A lot of people can't call fucking Jay Zelo. Especially and even talk anything about his wife. And he called back. Yeah. Yeah, it was great, man. It's like, it's been a blessing, man.

Brough. And the longevity and the, you know, bring it back full circle. You're doing a song with Huncho and Ply's, like, how that come together? Yeah. With somebody like Huncho anyway. Yeah, so, you know, I'm just a fan. I'm a fan of Hancho, man. I just like his music.

I actually first saw him, I saw him perform his first single at like a radio. It was like a little radio, it's a radio performance. when they allow new artists to come perform their record. And I actually loved his first single. So he was somebody that I felt that would be special on girlfriend. When you hit a record, you'll understand why. But it's basically like girlfriend is like the hook on girlfriend is like girlfriends, the wives, and my wives turn to girlfriends, girlfriends, the wives, now the wives, it's my past tense.

If I had a wife that would treat me like my girlfriend, then she would be my wife and she wouldn't be my girlfriend. So basically... And that shit, true is a motherfucker. So it's just like, you know. When you talk about the idea of, like, three different versions of, or perspectives of a man dealing with the relationships that we can deal with today. I hope y'all don't get too much of the game away, though, and, like. Oh, no, that's definitely a plies went after, plies went absolutely crazy, like, ridiculous.

And then, you know, Hancho gave Hancho's version, you know what I said, I gave my version, you know what I'm saying? It's just, like, it's like, shit, we just slide on there. show i can tell that's gonna be one you know what i mean like that combination yeah you wouldn't expect us to get it's just like break up like you wouldn't expect our people saying well why would you put Gucci man on record with you and mario

and it's like that's what you all understand we're three different people and brud it was so underrated for Gucci to say girls are like buses miss one next 15 one comment like what you mean don't put him on that that's the breakup line hey man my man and you know what saying wow gave me like when i went to go see him

He was in the trap at that time, you know what I'm saying? But, man, he gave me like 24. That's why I had to break the verses up. Oh, okay. Because he gave me like 24 balls. He was just going crazy. Hey, be darned, that's Sean Garrett, put the shit on and got to it. So it was.

That's hard. I've been blessed, man. Nah, for sure, man. You do your thing, bro, and it's like, we really appreciate you. You know what I'm saying? Like, we don't get to give our people their flowers while they're still around to enjoy. and the things that you're doing musically and sonically

and always pushing to go forward to some shit we ain't you know what I mean some shit we ain't heard and some you know stand innovated but definitely yeah so you got a very unique sound

Here's a clip from an upcoming conversation about how to be a better you. When you think about emotion regulation, you're not going to choose an adaptive strategy which is more effortful to use unless you think there's a good outcome. avoidance is easier, ignoring is easier, denial is easier, complex problem solving, takes effort.
