Yeah. This is definitely not no energy. People be criticizing us because we get so many guests. We don't interview no goddamn bad. about it. We just go up and shit. They're kidding you. Yeah, you know.

Because they'd be forgetting. We'd be knowing the guests before they guessed. They guessed to y'all. So we'll forget to fuck around and ask you some shit that we know that they would ask you because they ain't going to get the chance to. That's why I had to ask you, did you know that the auntie and the older ladies was fucking with the motherfucking jackoose. Did you know that? I didn't know it until. I didn't pull it up at my mother Cookehouse.

She over there drinking. Some of their goddamn. a stella road and walk around with some no brown both teeth is hot now they up but they i'm saying they put up no cow but they ah so whatever she had them put up in they were loosing that motherfucker so you knew that under whatever she had on they was ah oh no cat come on that all the kids got there i'm on instagram singing all the songs you didn't went crazy to flip the hole national anthem, it made that motherfucker an African-American

I don't want to hear it no other way now. Yeah, yeah. That was black history to me. You know, we named our two ghetto legends. So we made the mission to go out and try to get all the ghetto legends that we can get. And we're going to continue this shit. Real time.

Hell yeah. So it's only right that we had a nigga like you come up in here. No cats. One of the hardest singing this niggas you ever seen. Made everybody mad and said, fuck it did. I'm the king of R&B. And couldn't nobody say shit

because the nigger dropped about 30 good ass song in a rowel. No cats. We fuck with you the long way. No other than. Jaqueez is the one fucking track. Yeah. Yeah.

Yes, sir. Yes, sir. Yes, sir. Get all yours. Fabio. That nigga ain't your friend. That nigga ain't your friend. That nigga roasted your feet.

I did. Oh, yeah. He put them in front of it. Don't keep happening this. You know he on your hands, too. I forgot about that. That shit went up, though. They're like, no.

Dad, this shit flowed so smooth. I didn't know we were just doing a real intro. Yeah. We ain't gonna tell you three, two, one. Yeah, big a big thing. Yeah. We have a professional. Yeah.

We're out of your professional. First of all, welcome to the 85 sound show. Yeah. Yeah, yeah. Well, sir. Welcome to 85 Wage Studio. That's my black market bill. That's my black market bill.

Give me that, man. They have that people on the black market. You confused the audience. That shit felt different. I'm like, the fuck is not ringing the bag. What about? Starting this year off right, man. What's been up?

The album just dropped. Yeah. Bob it, Cobbett, y'all. December 16th, sincerely for you, it's executive produced by Future. Just dropped the video. to it. Pluto.

Yeah, yeah, Pluto. He's the executive producer. Yeah. So that nigger was in there with you. Like, oh no, Joe, hit that bitch again. Tight, tight shit. But you know, we're putting a lot of work ourselves too, but you know, Pluto there, you know, just be like, yeah, this one, you know, use that. Don't do that, put this on that.

This is the second album with that future EP, huh? Nah, this the, this the first one. You know, I don't work with him on other albums, but this the first one that he, like, put his name behind it. Like, I'm a part of this type shit. Yeah. That's cold, because, you know, it's usually to see you do a lot of shit by yourself. Yeah. So now, you know, to have that reach out, what made you trust him with the project, the whole project this time?

Yeah, just because, you know, the only other album he ever executive producer was for Kanye. So I'm like, shit, if he wanted to do mine, I'll be a part of that. You know, like, when they start to name all the album's Future Dead, it's just going to be Kanye and Jaquise. And then on top of that, even if he ain't do it for Kanye, I would have still let him do mine because how talented bray is, you know, and brother-in-old music, you know, future like a living legend when we're talking about music for real,

you know what I'm saying? And he know what going on. He's staying on the top charts, so I wanted to be a part of that. Dude. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I fuck with Fusion, man. When I was hosting an old National,

it all the way through. I was like, this bitch hitting. By the time I got to itching. Itching on acting out of state. That's the last motherfucking song on that. And I heard that for the first time, I knew that shit was out of there. I knew, I knew he was hot because the crazy part by the will of fool, man. If people who was in the industry then back then doing music,

you had to go through Willa Food, a beat engineer by Willa Food. You gotta get a beat by WillaFool, DJ Plum, or the Beat Monster, motherfucker. You sure what I'm saying? In London on the track, but he was on the doing 8.08 Mafia too. 8.O.A.M.A.M.A.M.

See, 8-O8, too. People were sending their beats to 808 Mafia, and they were, like, revamping them and making the metal. That's why they kind of 8OA mafia, because they were known for the kick. Everybody weren't using the 808s. You see what I'm saying? other nigga. I ain't seen him in a man.

Who? Lex Luther. Oh, that Loulew, that's... Motherfucking. He used to do a lot of Rick Roth's shit then. But when the fool was the nigga in the city. Yeah. He did the one who gave like... He had the sauce.

Yeah, he didn't jump the whole conversation off. That was... Isn't that nigga the other nigger? But with the fool was the nigga. He didn't want to jump the whole sit on. And everybody had to go through him and actually get his shit. Brother, Atlanta music scene is crazy, but it ain't a lot of R&B in the scene.

What is the scene? What's going on with the R&B game, Flea? You know, he the nigga who had it down for the city when they're calling R&B for a long time. What do you think the problem is? I don't know. Don't know what I want to sing. Everybody want to rap.

School was singing. Yeah, yeah. School was singing. But school is singing, it was like his own style. Like, it wasn't like a traditional type of-R-N-B facts. It was used to. It was true. He can't remind me like a new version of, like, Cilo Green.

Because you know, like, he don't just be singing shit. Like, he got, there's a lot of parents. It's like you feel a lot of aggression. Yeah, it's like he's saying more with just, nigga, I'm singing like, nigga, I'm really singing this shit. Really, like more so like R&B melody, harmonizing, really giving them folk that billet.

Yeah, we did a record together. We never dropped it though. We don't be dropping it. It was schoolie record. We did it probably like 2000, we did this shit probably like 2013 when we just got out of high school. That shit probably still hard.

It's hard. It's hard. That shit don't over age. Bro, how you start singing? I started singing because I wanted to rap like everybody else's shit. What was the rap name? It was just a little quay. Little Quay.

Yeah, it was just a little quid. Yeah, it was just a little quid. I had the cash money chain all the shit back there. Yeah, yeah. I bought it from a beauty supply, right that next to, uh. What's how you talk that shit in, what? I swear to God. That crazy.

That's crazy. What was the name of a grocery store back in the day? Which one? Not, uh, the world. one of a metropolitan. No, I'm talking about this was over here on the South. It was called, damn, what's your name, what's something? Wayfield.

Wayfield. Yeah, when you said South, that's a way. Yeah, it was called Wayfield right next to that shit. And I remember I had that. After that, I started, of course, because I seen Wayne and Autumn, but then I seen Michael Jackson. And I'm like, damn, he's hard. Right.

Like, you know what I'm saying? But he ain't just, right? He's seen like. Hold on, Nick, you've seen little Wayne before you seen Michael Jackson? Yeah. You gotta think I'm born 94. Damn, we gotta get better as black pizza.

Yeah. I seen Wayne first. Shit! Oh, we got to stop right there. I want to just look at the camera and just say, Black America, what the fuck is we doing? Yeah, right? We're losing recipes like a motherfucker.

You probably felt like you discovered that nigga. When y'all got a check this new nigga. I said, I know Eminem before, too, Pop. Oh, shit the fuck. There ain't no goddamn way, Flap. Oh, I'm having, I know what I'm doing this something. I'm teaching a course on blackness. Starting right with the music.

Bring your ass in, shut the fuck off. I went from Michael Jackson, Eminem, Tupac. That's a hell of a, whoa, that's fucking. I went from Wayne Mike, Tupac. Ooh, damn. I went from Michael Jackson motherfuck saying to ABC. What's the first Michael Jackson song you heard? Heard, uh, I want you back.

Oh, what's Free Willy? Free Willy. Oh, shit. He's high the hands. He said what Free Willing? How did he say? How they go? Oh, man, we got so much shit to catch.

See, that's the problem with the, you see the generational gap. They don't have no fucking idea what was going on before they was born. Let Uncle Lowe's tell you what Free Willey. It was just white boy. Uncle Looke is a motherfucker. motherfucker. He was poor. And they made a move about a poor white person. They don't do that shit no more. Listen, so free willie, his white boy, fucked around and adopted a well. In some kind of way, the well knew that he belonged to the little white boy. So the little white boy

went on a mission to free willie. Willie had got capped. They like, he got caught and they was making the nigga perform for fish and shit and just made the white boy real sad. Some kind of way, That white boy got in contact with some Michael Jackson music. Next thing, you know, God damn Willie is free, and he'd have jumped over the white boy head and slow mother. It was beautiful. And Willie a whale. Willie's a motherfucking whale, a killer whale at that.

So the nigga went back to the wild to kill. Whatever he did, he did it because he was free. It's really the animal version of Green Mow. If you ever seen Green Mow, it's what it is. It's a bit of me. Yes. I didn't do it. I ain't seen that.

Like, it just feel like that, like it feel like right now, feel good. I don't know. I got another one. We might go with, too. We got a video for that now, too. So it just all made sense, like right now. Do the one with future, future executive producer. It feels good.

It feels like some new Jaquise, you know, but it feels familiar. But it just feels like something we need right now, R&V. Man, take us back. Take us back. I want to know, like you said, you were rapping. How did Jack Quees fine? Not seriously, though. Well, I know.

But how did Jaquoise say, you know what? Because that's a big transition to say, all right, fuck rap. Because I remember when I just had the literal not say fuck rap, but I was like, you know. I was just a nigga rapping in the neighborhood. R&V is better. I had never seen a microphone and none of that shit.

Right. I was just in the neighborhood of my niggas. Like, we had a song we used to sing his shit. So we had backup niggas earlier. Yeah, this was right over here. I stayed in the neighborhood called Catherine Valley over here. I thought I was a fucking rapper. Right.

Then I just seen Michael Jackson, and I'm like, oh, yeah, he looked like me. Like, let me see what he doing. I heard him saying? I'm like, yeah, instant it. You know what's stupid. With Jason, you're like, I see the kid, Michael, for the other Mike first. I seen the little one first.

When you, the year, Mike was already white, buddy. See, I ain't, I see that yet. I see the kid. White, wait. See, I saw the movie first, too. Which one? Which one? The American Dream.

Oh, boy. Oh, so he thought Jason Weaver was Michael. Like he. Shut out to Jason Wheeler, he was just up here. Yeah, damn there. Damn there. I thought he was Mike. Oh, the thing is a wonderful one.

He's going to wreck now. Oh, for sure. He played a lot of money. He's got to be for Michael Jackson to pick you to play the dark skin him. Right. Oh, Mike picked the characters. Yeah. Oh, I ain't know that.

His folks picked him like that. Mike Mama picked him. Oh, yeah, that's all. She picked the right one though. He sold that shit. Yeah, yeah. He saw that shit. So after that, how it started, okay?

After that, then I got in the talent show. We moved to Decatur. From on this side, we moved to Decatur. We moved to Decatur and got in the talent show in my elementary school and won. Once I won, it was just like, I have won every year. Five, six, seven, eight, nine. Then I stopped doing it.

And it was just, I got into, uh... Niggas knew they wouldn't be you. Yeah, I got in the theater, all type of shit. I just started taking this shit for real. Like, after I was nine, then I got my mama behind me. My mama always supported me. You started taking this shit seriously, me? Yeah, once I was nine, then...

Boy, this nigga, here, boy, they're doing this shit now. Yeah, then after that, it just became, like, oh, Jaquist the singer. You know what I'm saying? Like, oh, Lady Hussein? Like, you got to think my boy, right that egg in the brown hoodie. He knows he doesn't know this day one with this singer shit. Like I came to day school.

They had to wear uniforms, all the type of shit. Like, I was like, I ain't wearing a uniform. I ain't doing none of this shit. I'm going to be a singer, but I'm going to do all my work and shit. Like, boom, boom, that's just that one. You didn't have your regular clothes. Yeah, yeah. Principal, let me do that shit.

The teachers, everybody. And why everybody else wear a uniform, you and regular clothes? Yeah, yeah. Sanging to the hole. Exactly. Damn it. That shit worked, bro. I ain't, but you got to think the kids didn't even.

feel no type of wife for real. Like, they used to say shit, but Dan used to take it against me. They were like, well, shit, Jaquiz, he cool, he be singing, dinner night, he dressed good, shit. Fuck it. He's offering, too, fucking. And they just started supporting that shit. You just ain't never throw no party? Shit. I threw a party. When I turned 16. Yeah, I was already, I had to party games.

My shit was lit. He popped in nothing. I was at the party game about here, 16. Yeah, I turned 16. I ain't thrown no house parties and shit, because I used to want everybody be in my spot. I used to go to everybody's shit, though. I used to be in everybody hood, every party. Niggas know, like, from 06, 08, 09, 05, all this shit. Yeah, nigga, no, I'm all up and down to east side, everywhere.

And I just started taking the series. Like, where I said, like, where I'm from, everybody just supported. Right. Like, it was niggas that was coming before us, like, Travis Porter. Like, they was from my side. Like, they was coming up. They just come to get their hair cut in the barbershop and shit. I used to, I was there when they had their first mixtate,

the black boy, white boy. Yeah. When they was, I was there, a day quest. them came in that bitch passing them out. You know what I'm saying? And telling them like, man, I'm a scene, too. So when I dropped my first shit, they jumped on mine. I used to be in a fire drill that towers come out, see them niggas cross the street. Because one of them boys' grandma stayed across the street from towers.

So we'll see them, they're like, boy, they're going to traffic Porter, boy. You feel me? Like, we got to get our shit together. Like, these niggas right here. Right. You know what I'm saying? These nigger from here. That shit was inspirations.

Just seeing them boys. And there was other people used to come to the barbershop. Like, niggas like Jay Money used to pull up. But you know, seeing Jay Money when you're young. Yeah, I was in that video. I was in, uh, what's on? Yeah, I was in Fernet-Lanayne. Yeah, I'm in that video.

Oh, I gotta go see. Yeah, yeah. I don't know. That nigga come through and push us with the books and shit. Oh, for real, okay. Yeah, I got to go take that. Yeah, he used to be in that video.

It was down there at Morris Brown College. He was how we played. Why? Atlanta had a milk of a, but we weren't fucking with nobody else. I don't give a fuck, where you're from? We played straight Atlanta shit. Yeah, that shit was going.

For like, 18. That's all you want to hear in the club. Then I was starting to get the producers to fuck with me. That would have was, too. I was getting the DJs to fuck with me. All the hood rich DJs, like DJ spins. DJ screams. So you were in the mix.

With the media spin, like the media platforms and shit. Yeah, yeah. I remember when we was putting up on DJ screaming, they ain't know who I was, like giving me a hard time. You feel, me, like a super hard time in that bitch. Like, just imagine you went there with all these niggies. down some straight gags and shit. You're a young nigga, you're from you.

Like, you're just a young nigga. Like, you're from the same shit, but you're the baby. But then, nigga like, hey man, what you do? You know, introduce you tell you. You're like, shit, I'm Jack Quee. Ooh, I'm looking for them. Like, that's it. That's how he's doing.

Like, keep talking. You know, man. I used to say so short and sweet if you want to get out of there and just sit in my own spot. I used to always just wait my turn, bro. Like, you know what I'm saying? But it was tough though. Like, you know, being around all that shit

and just still remaining who you is and shit. Yeah, yeah, because you got to think before I was with cash money, I was with Block. You know what I'm saying? We're blocking all them niggins over there with Jody, Gorillazo, all that. Went through that. Big Block, East Sad shit, right. Yeah, I was with him with all that shit. It's fucking with Fly with T-I-G.

Right, right, right. I was, I've been through a lot of the loops in Atlanta. You know, I was fucking with other people like Chef Harper who got toast. He had some shit going. After I left Block, I went over there with him and his man. We was trying to get some shit going. So it's been a whole bunch of shit, bro. like to get the cash money

to get the YM now, shit been crazy. Rich game. Going crazy. Yeah, yeah. So how do you remain? Because I see that you I watched the journey. Yeah, hey, yeah, you were done. I was done. You got to think when I dropped my first shit I sold. It was called 19. I did the release

at Clark Atlanta. This nigga was there. I had just started seeing, bro, because his videos were starting to go up on the internet. And I seen, bro. I'm like, damn, that nigga. I'm like, damn. I'm like, bro. I'm like, I'm like, bro, you got to buy my shit. He's like, well, I ain't got no motherfucking money, nigga. I don't remember this shit, I was like, damn, all right, I don't want to talk. No, I'm like, oh, here, I'm not.

It's hard. Big, bro, I'm sure. Like that nigga was. Yeah, that was about nine years ago. No cap. Real time, I was 19, bro. I wouldn't even 21. Couldn't even drink legally.

Like, I'm watching him coming in the, in the, on the college campus. And the girl, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, he's going on crazy. It's like a pattern. Why are you changing from girls to bitching? He had to think about that. You know, I didn't want to be like, it was all. But he was a bitchy, man.

We in Chris College. He was girls, man. No, they was girls, but they're in college. They were trying to better their life. The young ladies. Man, they were going dumb. They were going dumb, no. He was some bad.

He was some good girls. I would just say that. Some nasty bitches that nice. Are you pure what I'm saying? Good girls today. For that nasty bitches at night. For that moment. For that moment, but it was like,

damn, bruh, this nigga going in, like, because you gotta understand, the young superstar, if you always had some type of start when you were young, you always thought you was Micah Jackson, goddamn Orlando Brown, he was all kid star back in the day.

Like, any kid star, you stupid, bro. Real time, though. But it was like, you were still a kid. Yeah. So I was just like, damn, He got that shit early. You know, when you're putting to get famed, you quote-unquote be grown already in 20s and 30s.

That's the illusion of it. I know, but when you fow-waw-Romeo, when these niggas famous in 16-17, nigga, you're really an adult. You can tell an adult what to do, for real, for real. But it was just like watching my boy do that shit at an early age. That shit was always fascinating, bro.

Like, no cap. That she was like, what are these thing going to bow-wah shit? Yeah. Like that's a shit. Yeah. Yeah, for sure, man. Your family knew you could sing before you got damn started, like, before you even made the transition,

because you said you tried to rap first. Yeah. But your family didn't have, like, well, you could sing your ass on. Yeah, you got to think, like, even before, like, I was singing, it was always like, he could do something. Like, I used to bet my partner's like, bro, I bet we go in the store,

I bet somebody know who I am. Like, I'm like, bro, I bet I bet ten somebody know who I am. We walk in Kroger. And then you'll come down the street, like they'd be like, Damn, you jarqueen, like, you can sing this shit, right? And my crib and shit, I got a big sister, her name Rizzi, so she was with the older kids and shit like that. You know what I'm saying?

So, you know, older dudes she talked to him and might have come in and house and be like, well, hey, little brother, hard, because them see me outside. You know what I'm saying? Like, oh, now, Ku, Kee, hard. I've seen him singing in front of the barbershop. Like, I don't really fight for real.

You want to sing that sing everywhere. That's how I got found. I was singing in front of Krogo and Westie Chappel. A nigger seen me. And he was like, man, I'm going to put you with somebody, bro. I was just out there singing about a pay phone and shit just out there singing. He was like, bro, I'm gonna put you something like...

Just because, I was just the singer in the neighborhood and I knew I could blow. So I'm just like... That's what I'm just like... That's what I'm gonna be in a car. Nick, I used to go in the beauty salon with the hat. Really asking for tips? Hey, you're getting them.

Hey. This ain't name one. You're man. Come any time you over this way, stop through here, man. We got some money. And women love that type of shit. That's how that shit.

And they watched me grow ups too. So it went from like I was doing that shit singing. That was my boy said. Shout out the said. That was his shop. I forgot a name of thing called Beauty Effects or some shit. My boy Rick, O.G. The Bomb Shot.

I don't know the first time to do it, but I started getting confident going on that by myself. And when I met, this guy named Exquisite, he introduced me to this guy named Dex Lee. Like I said, I was out of singing, he was like, man, I'm going to introduce you to somebody. He took me to meet this guy named Dex. And this back in the day, like when you would do three songs on a CD, like a demo. Clean, dirt, and just nothing. Yeah, so boom, I had a partner named Joe in the neighborhood. I'm like, Joe, bro, I don't found a studio.

You feel me? Like, bro, you gotta come with me. me like these folks finna got down do something yeah I sent in the bar show so he's like bet I got this song called girl in my life he starts singing it I'm like oh I gotta get on it you feel we gotta put this shit on the demo I'm gonna do you feel me so I remember I when we had these little books you remember the books we were getting at school like little work books when in the back you got some now loud I'm talking to work books right but in the back you got like two three sheets that ain't got shit on right right I mean I wrote my lyrics on the back of that I remember I was in the bathroom just writing my shit up there with my mom's

room was at, just writing that shit. We went to the studio and recorded that shit. I was trying to put everybody on. To my other partner from school named Dee. I'm like, Dee, come with us. You're gonna rap on that bit. He was trying to be a rapper. Nick, we're in the eighth grade.

I'm like, come to the studio. I remember I picked this nigga up from right across street from Pryontown. Y'all been on the east side before he stayed in the apartment's cross street from Prime Time.

So my boy, Squeez-it, who introduced me all the shit, he's like, little bro, I'll be rapping. I'll get on that bit with y'all just because you want to rap on it. Right.

Got on that bit, printed the CDs, start putting that bitch out. Girl in my life became like a song in my neighborhood that was just like big as fuck. Like, you know, like when MySpace was going on, that shit was big. Like, I'm talking about big where I can go somewhere and sing that shit, everybody will start singing that shit. I'm starting to do that shit, do that shit.

And that just went to something else. Dex introduced me to. a guy named Orlando. Orlando still on my team today. Orlando, we was doing our thing. He took me to meet Block. And from there, the whole shit, just... Went up.

Went up. But it started right there on Western Chapel. Just singing in Kroger Park, singing in Kroger Plaza. Nobody ever jay, be like, hey, little bro, not today. Not a day, not the day. Not the day. Come back tomorrow. I'm talking about, Charlie.

I used to get some of that. Hey, there's shit going on right now, bro. It's raining, you're raining. Big trouble. We're gambling right now. We're not dead. Good crazy. I'm crazy.

You're gambling. We're gambling, bro. Don't come back in anything, bro. We're smoking and gambling and everything. You got a few. But see, I was at that doing that shit. We were doing that. That was so hard.

And I jay hit that bit. You hit that bit. In the middle of night game. A nigger moves on that money. Hold on, hold on. You owe me some money. But tell me why you're over some money. Because I see that.

I said I see that. I see it. One more, one more. Your pawn was a nine. Hey. Hey. That shit make you bad at hell. You losing a nigga star singing.

Hey, Bray, you got to shut the fuck up. Oh, you take your money? Hey. Great job. Tell a bit back to sing. Bet your money, babe. They always used to do that. Gambles, sang.

I hate to be losing to a nigga to sing. See it, what? What? Niggies used to hate that shit. I used to take a nigga money. But I was playing, though. Ooh, that boy mad at me. See, I ain't even do a nigga like that.

I just take money and just don't eat. But if my boy were like, who hit that bit? I'm really saying I'm trying to get all the way at you, out your element. I'm trying to get you all the way out because I know if you got to roll, I got to get you all the way to straighten it so you can't get hot. That's it, fuck. Boy, that's hilarious.

Man, that's an amazing story, though, bro. It's just inspiring. Just, you know what I mean? There ain't no excuse for nobody. Ain't no excuse, brother. So like the determination, nigga just got a regular rotation, go hit the barbershop, hit the beauty supply stove,

then hit the goddamn Krober, you know what I mean? Like, nigga don't know the grind, man, I didn't make a, I'm gonna appreciate the music more like, you know, make a guy, nigga, you don't gotta grab, make one. You don't get a grand. Make a grind. Make a grind.

Create some shit, nigga, you know you could do. But have the talent, don't just go out there and be having your head. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Those niggas just take their hat on. Yeah, I'm like, Nicky, you aren't Jacquee. You're like, hey, it's a nigger, like, yeah, yeah, Jacquee did.

I'm gonna try. No. Think all the homeless niggas out there that sound just like Michael Jackson. They were like, nigga, you think you're gonna make it. Watch this. And I'm homeless, nigga. You're saying, Dad, because look, I saw the ground like, that's great.

I used to see, when I knew, I was like, okay, when you blinked up with Joe DeVries, I said, ooh, you know, I said, and all this shit. I was like, who they were going crazy. Then I saw you doing a little song with Chris. I'm like, ooh, he that buddy late on Creep Breeding, then you just start venturing off, doing your own shit.

And they were like, all right. He got some going. He's gone. He don't need to do all the other shit. Like, they know he's name now. He up out of here. But how I work working with like, like, like, Jody and Chris Breezing?

Shit, with Jody. With five, I remember being in the studio with Tom Kat over there at the Block Antee studio. Right. I remember sitting in there with Tom, because Tom was my boy. He's still my boy. I'm like 15.

I remember Joe. He said, hey, little player, I'd be saying what you're doing, you know what I'm saying? Everything you're doing. He's like, but when I get with you, I'm going to give you something, you're going to be able to take with you. You know what I'm saying? He's like, when I got them, put you on the song or something,

this shit, you're going to be able to carry this shit with you. Like, this ain't going to be no shit that's just for now. This shit going to be forever. So I remember he was working on Duceus. Jard was working on the Duce's the Chris Brown remakes and I just walked in. And I'm out like, bro, you got to put me on there. You know, I love Chris Brown, bro.

You got to put me on this shit. I'm feeling like, nigga, don't try to leave me out. Right, right, right, right. I'm like, this is my shot. So he was like, I put you on the plea. That way, he's all, he called me a little player. If I put you on a little pleer, so I got down, he put me on it.

Immediately, we shot the video at the same night, because our boy was just trying to shoot videos. So he had the camera. Yeah, he's like, I'm gonna shoot the video. Tom, same nigga, it was an engineer. Tom was like, I'm gonna shoot the video. Shot the video with me and Jody put that shit out. Next thing you know, they start playing this shit on V-103 and shit.

We'll be in the car and shit. Jody would be in the studio outside. listen to the radio. This one niggas used to really play the radio on shit. That shit had come on, you feel me? And they'd be like, what? Like, boy, that's on the radio, but we ain't even telling anybody to do that shit. Nick, I remember being in school, Wanda Smith called me. Nick, I swear, I was in lunch. This bad when you couldn't have your phones in school. I remember my phone ringing. I'm like, damn my phone ringing. I'm in the 10th grade.

I'm like, put my head on the shit, because I'm like, I got to pick the shit up. Right. She's like, hey, boy, you heard that thing on the radio this morning? I'm like, what is she? Like, that dude? I'm like, oh, hey, y' y'all did? Because if we used to listen to 21-03 on the way to school, I was like, hey, I heard this shit, like, man, we're going to keep playing it. Bill 103 ended up just blowing the shit up. Then after that, I started getting little shows and shit.

Like, just little shit, like, probably like $500 and shit like that. Got them going to these little countries and shit, but people would be like, well, I know you from that Jody Breed shit. Like, I know you from that. And that shit just started growing. And then, you know, when I got with Chris, I got with Chris out of high school, I made a song called Girls Love Rihanna. I had remixed Drake's Girl Love Beyonce.

And Chris had heard it. I got a phone call. I was in the studio. This one, I was still fucking with Fly at T-I-G. I'm on Metropolitan. I get a call. Somebody like, shit. Chris Brown, I'm on the phone.

All Chris Cars was just fucking on the street. So I knew I was at his crib. Right, right, right. I remember I get out of the car. The nigger in the fucking garage. So I'm thinking like, you know, I don't know. You know, this. You know, I don't know what the same.

I'm pacing myself. I don't want to do nothing. I'm keeping it real. I ain't trying to do nothing. So I pull up with hood and shit. So shit, everybody like, shit, what's so? What's up, bro? Then Chris turned around.

He's like, oh shit, what's up, Jaquise? And he went back doing this shit. I was like, oh, shit, that nigga know me for real. I remember I hit the group message. Like, bro, this nigga, Chris Brown, know me, though. You feel me? I'm like, this nigga know who I am,

you feel me? And I remember that same night, we went to go edit him and Nicky Minaj video. They had a song. And I remember just the next day we got in the studio. And Hood was telling me, like, now when we in the studio, he was like, go push the button. He was like, when that nigga go in the booth, push the button and tell the nigga to do something. I'm like, bro, I can't tell Chris Brown what to do, bro. So they're training you.

I'm like, I can't tell the nigga what to do. So he's like, bro, tell that nigga something. Goddamn, that's why you came out here. Right. So I'm like, I'm like, I got enough vows to get up and do it. I was parked around and stood up and like, I like, hey, bro, say this. God damn, I gave him a run.

He was like, oh, that shit, he was like, oh, that shit. He's like, tell him to say something else. I was like, hey, bro. I was like, hey, bro, say this. Got damn, go, got damn. He was like, oh, that's hard as fuck. You feel me? Then the next thing, I was like, hey, bro.

Then next thing we get on the song, then we drop it on my 19 project. And we really had Finesse somewhere. It was like Chris Brown was supposed to be like the executive producer, but I was telling him like,

bro, let me put your name on my project I'm fin the drop to just make it look crazy. We had to form of a relationship so quick that he was just like, betler, bro, whatever we want to do. You know, I'm staying at the crib with him. You got to think I'm 18, like fresh off being the biggest Chris Brown fan in the hood.

Straight to, in the crib with him. Straight to going on TMZ. be in the car with them, straight to flying to Houston, flying in Hawaii, private jets. Got down, niggas showed me so much in the game, like, early before I had a deal before cash money before all that shit. That's why we're so close. Like, that's like my big brother. Like, you notice, like, whenever they try to get them to say some bullshit about me, the King R&B shit, he always be like, nah, I know a little brother of me. Because I came up right under him, you know what I'm saying?

So it's different. Like, it's a whole different vibe. Like, it's like... Respect both ways. Yeah, and that's my brother for real. Like, I'm talking about, like, round his mama. around his kids, like, like, Nick, I can knock on Chris Doe now.

I ain't even got a call. On my side, oh shit, your room was stella, bro. Boom. Go in the refrigerator. You big when you can go on that nigger. Right. Go in the pantry, got damn, do what else. He opened up to you.

I just text, bro, this shit, like, bro, we're 10 years in. Like, damn, they're 10 years already. Like, that shit crazy, like. I checked that nigg lost that shit the other day. I didn't respond. I didn't know that 10 years. You still have been doing that n'

But he said, I ain't respond, but yeah, bro. You got that nigga, no one's sake. I hate you, bro. Look, look. The nigger said, I ain't respond. But yeah, bro, that's what it was. Spade the life, Nicky. Can't shit on.

No, that nigga, Loddowdow, you see how you're going through the story, and you see how people make connections, put you in touch with the right motherfuckers and shit. Believe in you and shit. No, for real. Yeah, that nigger. If it was up to him, none of that shit would. That shit would have happened.

He wouldn't have gave you the phone. He can't talk like that. He left his hand at the airport. On the track. There's a little damn hand at the airport. Yeah, let me holly. Nah, no, let me tell you. I'm going to tell you.

You would have still been there every way for your fucking now. He wouldn't have plugged your head with no goddamn body. Yeah. A little nigga, he don't help nobody. I know that's your first song about the album, but what's your favorite? You see what I'm saying? He's full of shit.

You got to get him off of a book. What's your favorite song? Well, no, buddy, see he's talking about a real relationship, too. The real relationship. That was a real relationship. Yeah, you don't know that Chris is a real one, for real, for real. Yeah, hey, yeah, shot at real one. And my brother.

He's not allowed to open his pantries. Because he ain't selfish. You got a sheriff. No cap. Why didn't push that hard on that story? Because that nigga right there. He booed. Man, I hate this is a strong word.

You don't have to disagree. Oh, when you walk out, he's like, that fat fucker. Why you tell it? I was like, God, damn. It was just hurt my heart. Every time you said it, I was like, ah, don't say it to me. Say to somebody else, man. Why are you telling him?

Why you didn't know what I'm like? But when he telling me, I'd be like, this the, this the man. I can't keep believing that nigga your friend. You don't know how many podcasts this nigga was on. You don't know. You fat fucking. Oh, when they asked about the eight and five stuff, man. You crazy, I'll burn this shit up.

Man, that niggins said, yeah, them my little homie. See me the clip. I ain't gonna believe it until I see the clip, boy. He said we hit a little homie. Damn, bro, with your little homie? I know you're a load out of hell to see your ass a voice, though. You got me choking on the reefer. That's how long.

Real, bro. Yeah, bro. You don't know this nigga, man. But I'm glad you said the way you said it, because he needed to hear it. Yeah. Yeah, from somebody else. Like shit.

You know what I mean? Just make it full circle, though. It's just, just watch who you be around. Hey. You can't bring everybody around good shit. Nah, for sure that. You don't like that. Believe it.

Like, you know what I see you keep niggas who you've been with for a long time, like when you fuck with me and you put me on tour. I said, this nigga got here home, boy. Oh, segment on tour. I'm talking about they popping it, like, like, they pop it. They go out there, they're popping it. Where it's like now, you are able to control what's going on.

You can tell these he's real friends. Just when I seen that motherfucker right there, I was like, oh, that's a real partner. They're real partner. Yeah, sure. So how did you explain to your day ones, who kind of like in the field that you in, to be like, hold up, I can't do it right now,

but when it's time, I got you. I mean, because you gotta think, see, the difference with them, and I I respect all my brothers' crafts and shit, everything they do. You know what I'm saying? Because they got dreams and shit too. But the difference between me and them is this something that I always wanted to do.

Like this is what's my plan A, period. Like ever since they knew me, I wanted to be a singer. It wasn't like, that nigga wanted to do something else, that they wanted to play football, and he wanted to sing. The whole time he was playing football, he was singing. So that's the difference. They know, like, let's push forward to make whatever Quee want to have become true.

And we know if we get Quee de where he need to beat it, need to be that he's gonna pull us up because that's all the nigga ever did you was when did you realize like you said that your team believed in you like that to push you to the next my friends they won they won always supporting everything I did like always there like that's I mean back there in the talent show shit back there at loo today like when niggas ain't even moving like that but your folks rocking like you know just showing that support wearing the t-shirts passing this shit out like I remember when they used to have a scream to I used to be like 16, I used to always want to be on that shit.

Like, man, I want to feel on that shit. But since they ain't let me on that shit, I'm like, I bet. Whenever they come to the Fox, we're going to tag my shit. We're going to tag the Fox where all my mixtape posters. We're going to flood that bitch. Every mileous behavior poster you see, man, we snatching that shit, put Jack Quix up there, all that shit.

You were taking mildest behavior posters down? I mean, we used to just be, like, yeah, damn. We used to just be putting our own shit up. Like, you know what I'm saying? Like, not hanging on nobody, but trying to. to make a mark like man look at this little nigger though you feel me like i know these posts on tv and shit but check out shouted we were just trying to make it right we did that we're just trying to make it like you know coming up i used to fuck with autumn i still do but i was just trying to get in

i felt like it was harder for me because even the way i used to look back then people didn't used to accept it like rm be single had a certain appearance yeah this little nigger with dreads braces right like who is that you feel me like they just weren't accepted so i just had to push so hard and fight for who I was so, so bad. That's why I was like, I used to tell people like, man, the only niggas I can sign to is cash money. You feel me? Because I'm like, I know these niggas ain't going to try to change who I am.

Like, I know I ain't going to have to do nothing but just leave me. How did you come to that conclusion? Because I just knew I used to just walk around my dog, Orlando Duggy. I used to like, Douggy, the only niggas we can sign to his cash money. Like, that's going to make the most sense. I'm like, I'm a nigger like, like, I'm not your average R&B dude. Like, I got, like, I'm cut from a different club. Like, I want to be around some shit that represent, like,

who I am. You know what I'm like, if I meet Stunner, I know the nigga gonna sign me if he see me. You know what I always tell people like, that niggas, if I get in front of Birdman, I guarantee I'm gonna get a deal. I be telling the niggins that same shit too. And I don't even make music.

You can't go find me to talk shit with him. He fought with her too. Oh yeah, for sure. Why you know that nigga? What? Why did you get in touch with him, though? Like, how did you get in front of Birdman? Cause you see, this back when,

me and Quorn was making a lot of music. So, shout out to Rich Holman. Yeah, big shout out to Rich Herman. That's my brother. I remember me and Quint had just did a song called Soldier. And I remember we had just shot the video and shit too, but I'm around with my manager Jonathan. I'm like, man, Cuan Jack got with Richie. Like him and Thug over there, that shit like fin to go up.

Like I need to get in that shit. I'm like, and, like my shit, like we just on this level. I'm like, niggas getting signed, going on TV. like you know what I'm like I just met this nigga August this nigga August on TV you know I'm just naming different artists like man these niggins signed Jonathan they're on TV I'm like bro we gotta figure something out so I remember I'm like man call Corey that's corn daddy I like call Corey right quick bro like goddamn let's see like well he don't Corey didn't pick up for Jonathan I'm like fuck I'm like give me Cory no let me try to call this nigga I wasn't trying to do it in front of my manager but I'm like man we gotta figure something out right now you know what I'm saying you know some people will feel disrespectful but I'm telling him his face, like, bro, we got to do something else.

Like, hey, then I just shoot the video? Hey, send me the video. I'll like, bet. Third call, Birdman. He was like, hey, nephew, I'm gonna put you down. He was like, yeah, don't need a trip. He was like, I'm gonna put you all the way down. He was like, man, I just seen, he was like,

he was like, man, I just seen that video with you and the boy. He was like, man, in about three days, man, I'm gonna be back down there, man, come fuck with me. I was like, bet. Bro, I swear I got my eyes slick, got water, and fuck. I'm like, bro, I just said that shit, and then I just, I just,

but that's how I did my whole life, bro. I remember Stunner came down here, And me and Corey went down there. I remember I got on the bus, it was him and hot boy. Hot boy was already in the front. Stunner came from the back. I was sitting right here in the thing. He sat in front of me like Carlos, and he just sat in front of me.

He was just looking like that, but he didn't say shit, though. But he was looking just like that, doing that shit. Looking just like you, bro, I swear. Then that nigga looked at me los. And that nigga said, oh yeah, we're about to do this shit for real. That nigga said, we're gonna do this shit for real. That nigga said, bro, I can't. I can't believe you still out here, bro.

He was like, I can't believe you still out here, bro. Like, he was like, T. I ain't want to sign you, nigga. Like, I can't believe those niggas ain't signed you. I like, geez, ain't signed you. He just couldn't believe, like, none of the other niggas that was doing stuff out here was just letting us run around free out here like that. You're like, bro, I can't believe a nigga I ain't sign you, bro. I never forget, I was on 85.

He was like, nephew, we're just going to pay everybody back with success. He was like, bro, I fuck with you. He was like, I see some shit in you. He was like, see, you got it. He was like, these niggas just can't see it, but you really got it. He was like, we're just going to pay these niggas back with success. We ain't going to be rude to these niggas. We ain't going to get in their way.

We ain't going to do nothing to these niggas. Like, we ain't going to bad talk to these niggins. We're just going to show them the success. And with the success, niggas going to be thinking, like, damn. And that's just what we did. Stunner always believed in me, like, always always on some shit. Like, you got to think. Stunner pulled the tour busts up in the hood one day.

He don't pull that bitch to my house before. Like, you know what I'm saying? He just done dead shit that other niggas. ain't dead and just believing like I always tell people like I won't want to be with no other label just because I know how this shit work you know what I'm saying it's like you know been through too many I just see how this shit work with other people like my peers I'm like nah I'll stay with us because our shit more like family you feel me it's like nah I'm gonna drop when I feel like right

and it's creative control yeah Stunner ain't never trying to control what I do he always tell me like bro I'm a big fan he always tell me bro your shit like soul food bro like niggas need that quay shit like like the R&B shit you make bro he like this shit ain't like this shit like soul food nigger this shit ain't like California this shit ain't like no disrespect to that but he like this shit just like here right yeah this shit just like feel like some niggas shit but it just feel good like it could cross over so that's why I feel about this fucking show right here this shit yeah this some nigger shit but it could cross over he could cross over yeah I like the

potential in this motherfucker I don't that's why I look at this shit You got Marvin Gay looking at us. Like, I can't believe you, niggas is still out here. Yeah. They bought him some money and some liquor, some Lamborghinis and some vintz. I talked to a nigga about some liquor too.

Shit, we'll be drunk as if this motherfucker turned to a whole other show. I got Carlo Bernard, I got to make it up. I'm already, come on now, you know I'm already in motion. There's no more. Yeah, yeah. So who was your favorite artist that you ever worked with?

That you were like, who you want to work with. That too, but it was like, nigga, like you said, the Chris Brown was a moment. So I can't count, bro. Because that trained you, that's my favorite. They don't count. The family don't count. None of the family counts.

That kind of counted, but they trained you. For you to be like, nigga, I'm in here working with this, nigga. Oh, yeah, facts. I learned a lot. But I guess after Chris, I think the next artist that I got in with where I was like, this shit called, probably nips. Probably nips. Probably nip.

Got to tell that story. Yeah, I remember. Yeah, Krispy's Nip, for sure, Nipsey. That was my dog, for real, for it. I met Nip first time when I was like 19, I met him at South by Southwest real quick. Right. He just got up, dab me up, said some little shit

in my ear right quick, boom. But then after I start, you know, getting into this game more and more, you know, I certain people reach out to you, like, such, says, fuck with you. Right. His boy, J-Rock was him, like, that boy, Nipsey, love you.

Mm-hmm, mm-hmm. You feel, that boy, like, at the club, nigga, that's his favorite song. He's like, nigga, he loved his song. They used to send me videos and nip in the club, just dancing to that shit if it came on. And I remember, at the club, you know, at the club. Okay, yeah.

So, I remember he was here in Atlanta one time. No, I was in Cali. I went to Cali, he was in there with Karen Silver and shit talking business. I got all this shit on camera. I used to record everything. I still do. He was like, Jaquit, boy, I love your R&B shit

because your shit just, like, your shit just got that feeling because, like, it's just, it's just like some shit you can ride to. Like, he was just telling me all that shit. He was like, man, Man, I got some producers in the back. You need to work with him. And, like, I'm going to introduce you to these niggas,

because you, you know, took me to the back, introduced me to them, everybody, I met them boys. I'm not sure if we worked before, but I'm pretty sure they probably sent me some beats and shit. And I remember he was in the A one day. And J-Rock kept me like, hey, me and Nipsey over here at the Passwork.

I'm like, man, I'm going to cross street at an 11th Street, bro. I'm like, I'm working on some shit, bro. You feel like, I'm working on some shit, you know what I'm going to pull up on me, you feel? So you're like, ah, man. This nigga bust through the dough. What's up, honey?

I remember Nipsey busted that bit, big in hell, big-a-jacket on. He came to that bit, like, what's up, man? I'm like, damn, what's up, bro? You feel me? I'm like, Dad, you came to fuck with him, for real. Hey, y'all, I told y'all gonna go fuck with you. You know, what's the beast and shit? Boom, my boy, K Madra was in there.

We had this Faith Evans sample that I remember sample. We pulled that bitch up. We were working on that shit. I remember Nipsey wouldn't write shit down. He was just vibing. And I remember I didn't want to record the nigger, but he started recording me. I'm like, oh, shit, I'm pulling my camera out.

You know, you feel? The nigga started recording me and shit. I'm like, please record this nigga. You know what I'm saying? So we didn't have vibing. But the whole time I ain't seeing him. Like, it's like he's not even paying attention to the beat. Like, he's vibing, but he ain't writing shit down, pulling out his phone,

like to write shit or nothing. He's just recording and just kicking it. So he's like, shit, I'm ready, cuss. That nigga going to booth and just start rapping it, like, all the way through. You know, most niggas going to booth. Be like, 85 salve, all right, all right, come back. Let me do the next line. That nigger just went all the way through the verse.

I'm like, damn, I don't remember, I mean, I was like, bro, I'm like, I'm like, Jerry, this nigga don't write. That nigga just, how the fuck he do that? You feel, man? Like, I ain't never seen that nigger just do his whole verse like that. You feel it? So I remember he was like, you know, he kept running, he kept running it, he did it again.

And I don't remember, he kept with him like, damn, bro, that's hard. I'm like, I ain't never seen nobody do no shit like that, bro. He's like, he'll be doing my shit. But then he had to leave. He was like, I'm gonna come back and do the second verse. the second verse. He was like, I just send it to me.

You feel me? We could just goddamn do it like that. I remember last time I talked to him, I think after that he called me from his neighborhood one time, because when I dropped Tripp, he was fucking with that. They called me from his neighborhood one time. Everybody was outside. Everybody was outside. Listening to my shit. I was on FaceTime. I got the screenshot.

The whole fucking neighborhood. And I remember I hit him back on some shit. Like, bro, you got to finish the verse. But he was in a barber chair getting a shape up. So, you know, he's getting your mustache lined up. You can't move your mouth and shit. So he was like, you know, letting me like, God, and he texts me, like,

John, I'm gonna do the, I'm gonna do the verse and shit. You feel me, ooh, I got you. And then that's probably like the last time I talked to him. That was another dope, dope experience though, like, cause I'm just like, I know what the nigga means to the world and shit, you feel me? It's just like, I'm glad I got to get that opportunity,

you feel me, like on some shit like that. I'd have had some, a lot of great, dope, dope shit. Like, I've been around a whole lot of shit. Well, you impersonate people well, too, though, You got damn. People say that about me, bro. I probably could be in person now. I want to hear what you'd be saying about me?

I don't know how to hear. No, he didn't get you early. You ain't got no fucking money? Oh yeah. What the hell? What the fuck? I'm saying what for? You're gonna keep on adding on, eh, mish.

He was like, man, you can't keep letting me try you like. So I'm like, yeah, I'm like, don't let me keep with you, man. I would get offended.
