the A now green and then we have the beautiful nila simon sitting with us today yes thanks for having me guys yeah how I was feeling yeah you got she got a fan club and all right now you've been working today that right or you said just I'm about to start working I start work today I have four with Amazon music. Okay, with Amazon and Dreamville? Yep. How do that feel to be like out here working and interviewing some artists as well? Man, I'm excited because I've never missed the Dreamville Fest.

I've came every year. Okay. First year, you know, I've GA next year. I'm backstage, you know, networking and working with my colleagues. So you see the progression. Yeah, so it feels good, especially because not to tell the story as I always tell the story, but I went to St. John's because I was a J. Cole fan. So it's like a never-ending full circle moment.

Where are you from? Maryland. Okay, Maryland. So we're on the area. Okay. That's what's up. Any artists that you're looking forward to sitting down talking to today? I'm looking forward to talking to Amory.

And I definitely want to talk with Earth Game, big Earth Gang fan. Okay. Yeah. Oh, and I don't think 50's going to do interviews, but I mean, I'm excited to see 50. Yeah, I would love to get 50 to sit down too. Yeah. I got to ask you this because you always on the music and like you love music, you know, you do your showcase when you talk about the new music coming out what do you think about

j cole seven minute this man well first i'm just talk about the project okay my delete letter i really like the project it was time for it yeah it was a great rap album i think it really showcased his skill and to be fair i feel like this project was already planned like i don't feel like he put this project together because of that diss or anything like that not to mention he was already giving us promo for it. Right. Now, the seven minute disc, I feel like he didn't really, he didn't try to make a hit record like that or like back to back. So I feel like, you know, a lot of rap snobs are upset because it's not meeting what they thought it would be. But my only, like, I have a few things where I'm like, eh, I wish you didn't bring up the albums, like comparing

Kendra's album. Oh, his listing them out. Yeah. Yeah, it was like, I don't really do that because then niggas is going to attack your catalog. But I feel like that's what you got to do. when you, with the art. You got an artist, got to critique other artists sometimes. That's just what he feel, you know? That's true. But I like how you said that it wasn't like, I think a lot of people was expecting him to come out,

the gate just hitting so low or going. I think it was like a jail. It was. It was like, let's get warmed up. You know, Kendrick hasn't really officially released a full song targeted too cold or really echo. So it was like, okay, Kendrick threw a little diss. Then he came with a song.

Now Kendrick got an answer. I know. I'm excited about it. I don't even want cold. be a part of this i keep saying this i feel like i feel like first i mean not first person shooter i feel like like like that was really towards drake i don't even feel like it was just with cold like just in case yeah not just in case yeah like bro oh you feel like kendricks first this wasn't really towards call he didn't really say nothing about he just said the first first three he just said prove it

like prove you the greatest that was the only line that was given to cole but that's all j cole had to But maybe it was some secret. Maybe it's some behind the scenes, like, little sleet into my seat. We don't know nothing about. It's giving us a lot of behind the scenes. That's coming to the front of the scenes. So I'm really curious to watch this play.

You as a music head, you love this, though. I do. That's what they are. As music fans, this is good for the music. It is. It's good banter. And it's fun because, you know, I'm not too big into sports.

But men can get together and talk about sports for hours. Absolutely. This is now something for us to talk about as music lovers. I agree. debate this you know we could debate it right here you know what I'm saying being a Kendrick fans like being a Laker fan

like it's that deep and then I like the fact it's like it's friendly like it ain't no you know ain't nobody trying to man I don't know I don't feel safe right man you ain't got to worry about you ain't got a word about seeing nobody with a drink like the yeah yeah yeah festival is being shut down well you know what I said

yes I agree hip hop has matured especially because they like some of the woken rappers we got I feel like they're going to So you know they're going to kill. Yeah, it's going to be silver. It's going to be straight in the booth. You ain't got to worry about nobody. Yes, please.

Let's keep it like that. I think the fans make it crazy. You got to worry about no ovio chains, getting snatched, none of that. Like, they're going to do it. Man, I don't know. I'm be honest. I don't know. I don't know if I agree with that.

I hope so. Like, I want to keep it peace. But if you're personal, I hate when people would be like, yo, it's business, not personal. At the end of the day, I might fake it for business, but it's really personal. But if I see you, it might be on site. I mean, it might not be direct, you know, it might be a shot. Like what Kendrick just did, just like a, yeah. I think what it was because no one expected that, like,

we haven't heard a Kendrick version. Then the first verse we hear like, damn. Right. Nah, no. What they did to you? That was what going to be the back story. Like, how are you just going to give us the conclusion of the movie? Not to mention nobody knew that future, Metro.

Like, nobody knew it was all the Avengers, right, as Twitter is calling it. Like, nobody knew it was that many people who didn't like. Drake. And we hadn't even really like recovered from learning that future and Drake had fell out. Yeah. You know what I'm saying? We really, I feel like this. It was a lot to take in listening that at one time. But I think Kendrick, it was skillfully done and I really liked his approach. He didn't like overbar you to death. Like you felt it. You felt each little nigga bum. Every time it was like

oof, ooh. And I felt like. It's like he was in the booval like Yeah. Like he didn't wait and get this off his chat. In Future, I'm like, we're lying, bro. Right. I don't think Future thought he was going to go that hard on the song. I felt like he was surprised when he heard it back. Me too. I was.

When it got to a Kendraverse, I was like, oh, okay. I'm really like that. Kendrick coming. So look, Nali, you talk about how, you know, how many festivals you don't came to. Like, what's been, you know, of course you can't judge this one yet, but what's been one of your favorite ones to come to? My favorite festival. I got to say last year with Usher and the OV.

Dreamville collab. It was definitely cool to see Drake and Cole together. I will say I'm disappointed that they didn't do their records together. That was my whole thing. That was my whole thing. Yeah, I'm going to get Joe to see.

I'm going to get in the morning and they didn't do either one of those. That's my only critique. I'm sorry, I'm a hip-hop critic. I got to critique everything. But, yeah, that was dope. Two of our biggest. Any artists that, like, or people that you sat down

that you really enjoy talking to or that you didn't expect? Usher last year I wasn't even working but he just came up to a heater and started talking and he was it was like Usher in real life I don't know certain I know we see celebrities all the time but he's really like a a goat I mean if we didn't see that

already this year between the Super Bowl Oh for sure yeah I was surprised I think that stamped it like I think that really show other people outside of it because we're from Atlanta and I feel like of course Atlanta looks at Usher as a legend and a goat but I think that's what made other music

fans or R&B people who are like okay no Usher really is up there with like King of R&B right now in our in our time. He is I mean not even to mention like there's not too many people with classic R&B albums like Confessions was a classic R&B album. Yeah to have

that he's one of few. Yeah and then when it's staying like the time like you know what I'm saying all those years you come back and listen to it is like a first listen like this shit still jam. That's timeless you won't have to play that for your kids right even it's like generational music that even like my grandma like usher right you know what everybody the moms the daughters like even a younger generation they like usher yeah so you being

like i know i can't surprise you with nothing so what you think about j t and glorilla oh oh my god it's it's giving messy and petty only because they talk about wigs and whatnot you know what i mean like so there's not so much music yeah this was not really i don't have too much of a just because it's not music-based. But how you felt about what Glow's verse that even set off the new Twitter beef? You get what I didn't even realize?

I'm just thinking, you know, rappers be talking so much. I don't even be thinking it relates to something that actually happened in real life, but she said you think you was the last rap bitch that slept? So I'm like, damn, is she just out here slapping you know, people like that? I'm just... As men, we listen to this music,

we bobbing out of head. We don't even know they really out here catching body. Yeah. Damn, I thought you were just shaking hands. That's what I thought too. The rock game is a rock game. I thought we had the red lights, twerking on the headlight. Now we're knocking lights out.

I don't know how we got here, but we're here now. So, like, you know, when you have women around, you might put on the music, like, you might put on Glowrilla Lado, and you don't even know they might be, you might be putting on a dance song. Yeah, you got different sex. I know. Especially because people kind of, yeah, they kind of starting to pick sides. you know, Globe rocking with Megan and J.T. rock with, like, Nikki. So it kind of gave, like, we're repping

for who we rocked with. Oof, I hate that we have this division right now because now we're having this on the guy's side, too. I didn't even realize that it's... It's separated. It's like NCAA, like the men and the women. Yeah. And we got different brackets, for sure.

It is. You got to figure out who Iowa, who South Carolina. I mean, all I will say is, I hope they put it in the music. I was going to say, I think we're going to get some great music out of it. Who you think going to really take over for the summer coming up? You know, we're a few months out.

Who you see taking over and having a good summer run? I think future at Metro are going to have a great summer run. I hope J.T. has a good summer run just because I feel like she's actually really talented. For sure. And I want her to be able to break through regardless of whatever management situation or whatever. A dope artist. Yeah. Lotto.

I like Lotto. I hope she gets one too. For sure. Oh, and I love Tyler right now. Like, that's, I'm deep in my, I'm a piano bag right now. Okay. Yeah. Yeah, no, what's one of your favorite songs on the Tyler album?

Um, I like truth or dare. Yeah, that's a good one. Truth or dare. But I also like jump. I like art. I like on and on. You like the album. I like the album.

Yeah. You know, I'm, I like the whole thing. How you feel about J.T. and Carisha kind of doing their own solo thing right now? Um. I'm sad about it, honestly. I'm not surprised, and I'm not, I don't know any of them personally, but just through, you know, seeing different hip-hop duos and groups in history. It's always, you know, a matter of time, and then someone goes solo. Not to say that they wouldn't come back together.

Yeah, for sure. But I think, like, at the end of the- Find their stuff. Yeah. So, and we've been seeing Carisha in movies and stuff like that. So, I mean, as long as they keep going, I think that's all that matters. But I do hope at some point, you know, they. We get another good.

City Girl album. Who's a hidden gym because you be knowing new music and stuff like that? Who's a hidden gym that the world ain't caught up on yet that you already on? Hmm. Good question. A hidden gym? Huh. I don't know. I feel like a lot of the

hidden gyms were the people that come to my mind when you ask me that oh no, I'm just say it. Ruben Vincent. I'm a really big fan of Ruth. Man, the money just said that. Oh, he did? Yeah. Hey, it must be Ruben's year. I think Ruben is a hidden gym And if you're not familiar with Ruben Vincent

Just go check out any of his freestyles Particularly he could just be sitting in the room And he could just talk about everybody in the room He's a animal And it's like double entendre's like he's crazy Ruben Vincent Yeah back to the lyrics For real

Yeah I think it's almost time We're almost there The climate is changing The culture is shifting It's getting nothing But maybe with the beef too it's going to take it back to the lyrics because you know for a man i feel like the last few years we just been having hit songs they feel good they got like a good beat to it but nobody really

in the booth for real yeah rapping oh my god that's why when lotto said get back in the booth right i'm thinking people really gonna get back in the booth so yeah i think it's coming yeah it's time for that oh uh what was i going to say and uh to your point of like the era that we're in you remember like looking boy like when that sound and snap music that's where we're at right now Yeah, that's not music. The sexy red and the whole Hurricane Chris flip. Like, I see that's the temperature. Making good fun music that you can just vibe out.

That's when the internet really was first starting. Man, what? That's that Myspace era. That was the time. Dang, I feel old now. No, we're in the same. And I like how Sex and Red, she incorporated that. You think about childhood, like she bringing Soldier Boy back.

Yeah, she did in her video. So it's like, she makes. She's not even twerking. She's, you know. Nothing. Yeah. And I think that's what's so dope about it. Like, you know, when you see somebody so effortlessly and nonchalant, like, you're killing this shit.

And you're going to give a damn. That's who I think really going to have a good summer too. Yeah. She just dropped that baby. She's outside with it. She's outside. True. We want to know who the rich baby daddy is.

That's all I got to say. Right. Who is the rich baby daddy? Because I feel like her baby daddy's be like random dude. I don't know. It's given Aubrey. He's playing her out on PJs. He rich now because he's sexy red baby daddy.

That's true. That's true. I'll be doing walkthrough with that. You got sex and sexy red baby dad in the building. Past lines coming, six of red baby dad in the field. I'm not to say. You might blow up with that, though.

You're right. Yeah, yeah, I'm sexy red baby dad. I'm in the building. Yeah, you're right about that. They're doing for the men rappers. Why they can't do it for the female rappers. It's time to change the culture, man. You're right?

He's like, y'all want equal rights? Right. Female rappers, they have a whole house full of baby dads. House of niggas of L. With like Sukiyama. I went watch that. Y'all baby daddy, her own dude. House baby dad is in L.A.

You need to do that. Y'all really on to something right there. Don't steal my shit. We need to do that. Yeah. You need to pay that. So you already smart. I already can see you on the plane right now,

why this shit out. Just throw me a little cut, man. That's good. Good stuff. Yeah. Man, we appreciate you coming through, sitting with us and just chopping it up. No, when I sing you, I was like, man,
