Now you're on a stage being an artist. How do I feel to see that transition in your career? It's so dope because I just feel like the people that support me, like, they really, like, grassroots fans. Like, I'm really building, like, people that's, like, seen the evolution of Jaze. When I used to have big hair, I used to be a little chubby, you know what I'm saying?

It feels better when you get it out the mud. Right. I'm like, now you're hitting the stage at one music. Thank you. Shout out to 85 South and backwards.

No, but now you're hitting the stage at a huge festival in Atlanta, a major city. Huge. Like, how did that crowd feel when you touched? Like, what that moment felt like when you first touched the stage? No, they really, they were showing me so much love. And then when I sing it belongs to you on Dittie's album, Love album. They just was singing that, like, back to me. just to get the interaction with everybody.

It was dope. I really was trying to, like, you know what I'm saying? Stay focused. I want to try to look at nobody eyes. As soon as you look in the wrong person's eye, you were like, it throw you out. You'd be like, the nigga ain't clapping. Like, damn, bro, clap.

Yeah, it's like, smile. Bob out. Yeah, like what? So I was trying to just keep everything just like, like, everybody just, you know what I'm saying? Taking it all in. Yeah. That's lit. And you definitely, like, your music is a vibe.

You sent the vibe. I know you set it on stage and you create that. But how do you create that? But how do you create that? But how do you create? the vibe for you to even provide that vibe before going on stage. I don't even know what's so funny. Like, I'd be having so many, like, sisters and homies, they're everywhere I go.

And they just be one of, like, be around me before the show. And, like, I'd be needing, I'd be needing, like, 30 minutes to myself. Like, I'm such a people person, but I'm really a, I'm really an introvert. You know what I'm saying? So I'd be need, man, give me 30 minutes, 35 minutes to be to myself. Let me talk to myself. Let me talk to Jesus. Like, let me get my life, you know what I'm saying?

Let me, let me, let me, you know what I'm saying? Let me get right. And then I can, like, go out and, like, pour. But I need to pour into me for a minute, you know what I'm saying? Absolutely. So I'd be needing a moment to get away from niggas. I ain't going to lie to you. So I'm learning, like, I need about 35.

Right, give me 35. 30, 35, good. That's all I need. During that time, do you, like, you know, pull up, roll up? Nah, I don't smoke before I sing. Okay. Nah, that's out the window. I'm about to blow.

After was right. Oh, yeah. And I need some backwoods, 85 South. Right. I ain't playing with y'all. So you set the vibe. After you didn't hit the stage tour though, then you come backstage. Now you're like, I can vibe out with my people.

I can pull, I can roll up. I can get in the mood. Now I'm looking for the parties tonight. You hear? Oh, yeah. Well, you know we got it right here. You know we got a party right here. But you know, it's going to be a lot of dope artists out here this weekend.

You're looking forward to seeing anybody? Janet Jackson. Absolutely, right? Like all these artists, like my peers, I love them, you know what I'm saying? Tink, I never met Tink. We've been texting, so I can't wait to like actually look at her face and be like, thank you for everything that you've done for R&B. I can't wait to have that one-on-one with Tink because that woman is special.

She's been special. She ain't never not been special. The niggins just waking up. So, like, Tink. But Jenny Jackson, I ain't got a lot to you, bro. The dream performing, I would like to see him perform because I just love the dream. You know what I'm saying? How he went from a songwriter to an artist.

You know, him and Missy like the two people that I looked up to how they did it. So, yeah. Absolutely. I think the dream performance is going to be lit too. I can't wait to see that. You know what's on me before? I got to check the schedule. It's so many people.

I'm trying to keep up with all y'all. I got check. You know, I was headed over there to your stage right before you went on. I ain't make it. I'm like trying to get over there, you know? Oh, my God. I was supposed to bring you out. Oh, you're home girl, by me.

Shout out to my sister to bring you. I love you. Shout out the black girl stuff. Black girl stuff. I love y'all. What's you bump into now? Like, what's your favorite song right now? Besides, of course, one of your songs are for songs for women and free game for niggins.

What's your favorite song right now? Hey, let me look. Let me look. I mean, I ain't going to front. I mean, what I've really been listening to, I ain't going to front. Like, my favorite song right now, can it be old? Because I've been playing. It can.

Whatever you've been listening to. I've been playing a lot of old shit. Like, I just. found this song on, I just found this joint, this joint called, it's called Round and Round by High Tech. But it was a song that was on How High. Okay. I really don't know what you came in for, round that round you go.

Yes. Like, and I found it one time, I was like, yo, this shit crazy. And I started, I started playing and non-stop. So I've been playing high tech round around like, non-stop, you know what I'm saying? Because I just found it. That's a good, but that's what I love about music and hip hop. It's like, no matter how old or how far back a song may be from, you could still fall in love with it at any time. If it's good music.

That's, if it's good music. I used to love how high, but I never knew what that song was. It just played a little bit in the sun, in the joint, and I found this, it just is on the, I was like, oh, this shit crazy. Yeah. I've been listening to that. Speaking of, it's 50 years of hip hop and it's 50 years of Backwoods, too. Damn, backwood's been out that long? Backwood's been out 50 years.

We've been rolling for a long time now. But in that time, what are some of your favorite moments with hip hop or Backwoods? Hey, you want to tell you some funny about Backwoods? I didn't know nothing about Woods until, like, 2013 when I moved to Miami. Okay. A Florida nigger put me on Woods because I'm from Memphis, and we smoke Swisters and we smoke White House. Okay. We wasn't on Backwood.

Backwood is new for Memphis, niggas. And if niggas want to tell you something different, it's cow. You like, they lie. They line. They line. I ain't no niggas in Memphis smoking backwoods. Niggas were smoking white eyes and swishers, bro. So I learned, or black in my house.

Well, we gotta come to Memphis to put them on there. No, we all now. Okay, y'all know. Everybody smoke a woods now. But like, when I went to Miami, I was with Timberlin. I was, I remember we was in, um, I was on a tour bus with Timberlin. I had just met Missy Elliott that night. And literally my boy, Missal, he was Timberlist producer.

He rolled up a wood and I was like, and I smoked and I was like, Man, what is this? I promise you. I'm going to ever remember that story, 2013, my first wood. Period. Yeah, funny. I love that. That's your first word.

That's good. Yeah. You got any favorite moments of hip-hop or memories of hip-hop? Man, oh, my gosh. I think just watching music videos as a kid, like music, like, one-on-six-in-part, like watching music videos. Yeah. That's like, I just really, I remember the first time I saw Lupe Fiasco kick-push video.

And, like, I remember that was so different for me, because being from Memphis, I ain't never seen no black skaters, like, skateboarders. Right. Like, that was not. And watching that kick push video, and I was like, oh, this is hard. And it introduced me to another sound of music that wasn't so, like, you know, like, gutter, so, you know what I'm saying? It was like, I guess, backpack music.

I don't know what they called it, but, like, I remember, like, Lupe Fiasco, kick pushing. Then after that, I fell in love with, like, the cool album. And then, Slumville. I was really like a different kid. I was trying to listen to the shit that if it wasn't Three Sixth Mafia, I was listening to stuff that was like different. Yeah.

Like Sloan Village, like Kanye, like... That Kanye vibe. Like you said, backpack. Hip-hop. But that's what I love about hip-hop. It really reaches us as black people wherever we are and whatever your interests are, whether it's alternative R&B or backpack rap

or, you know what I mean, pimping music. It's something, it's a sub. genre for everybody and anybody. And you are like one of the, I'll say leaders in alternative R&B right now. Thank you.

And who has like influenced you in that genre of hip hop? Of hip hop or R&B? Of alternative R&B. Missy Elliott. Missy Elliott is influential Mary J. Blige Blige because she was hip hop soul. Like she brought

Edge to R&B. So it was like She did. She brought that street to R&B. to R&B and in a sexy way, too. Jodacy, you know, like, I ain't go front. Also, immature. I loved immature. Like, IMX. Yeah.

Like, I was a kid listening to Immature, and, like, I don't care. Like, Batman and Romeo, little drummer, LDB, like, they was cool. They was weird. They was very, like, damn they're gay, but, like, straight. Like, they was very girly girl, you know what I'm saying? Like, perms and, like, you know what I'm saying? Right. But they was cool, hip hop, and then B2K, like, all.

All of that stuff was kind of hip-hop, but still R&B. They were singing, but it was hip-hop. It was still cool, yeah. So I love all that. Shouted it, it was part of me. Now, speaking of them, like, you know, blurring the lines of the genre, you know, with R&B. I like your little hand movement. You know what I'm saying?

You, your new EP songs for women and free games for niggas. What's some of the free game you dropping on the album, on the EP? Some of the free game, I think I told you all, one of the free games. that's really important. Another free game is just being able to listen. Just listening. I think it sounds easy. That's the hardest thing to really do when you upset

or when you're, like, busy is listening to your girl, listening to her. And even, like, paying attention to her little, you know, like, paying attention to her energy. Her little ways. Like, every time she'd stick her off, her tub out like that, she made, like, you know, show what's up. Yeah, and if she said nothing wrong,

something's wrong. Like, get it out of her. Like, don't let it, don't let it fessed up overnight, you know what I'm saying? That's good. What's a good way? Where free game would you give to the fellas about apologizing? Because like you said, if she mad, don't let it fester. You got to try to make it right.

Yeah, I was just talking to my homies. I hate apologies. Okay. I think, don't apologize to me, bro. I hate apologies. Like, nigger, find a solution. Like, don't fix it. Don't fix it.

Like, like, like, Before you even, before I even mess, if I mess up on somehow with somebody or with a girl, like, I'm not feeling to apologize to that girl. I'm sorry. I'm not going to give her, I'm sorry. You're not going to tell her you. I'm going to fix it. I'm going to find a solution.

Like, oh, I miss something? I'm not, I'm sorry I missed her. No, all right, all right, here's what tomorrow we, I, ah, I, like, you know what I'm saying? We're going to fix it. Like, I hate apologize. Don't apologize to me. Like, when girls try to apologize. to me, I'd be like, I don't need that.

Like, I, like, ugh, what is that, what does that do? Don't be sorry, be careful. Don't be sorry, I hope. Be careful. Yeah, just, yeah, like if a dude did something dirty to you or something bad, not dirty, something bad to you, I feel like if he was to rectify with some, something, I used to tea I were rectify.

Yeah. But if he was to fix it, I feel like you wouldn't even, you wouldn't even be thinking about it no more. You'd be like, what am I mad at? Yeah, because it's done. There's nothing else to talk about. But let's find a solution. Let's be solution-based.

Like, I hate, like, ugh. Okay, that's a free game for the fellas. Be solution-based when you messed up. Solution-based. Yeah. You know, y'all got to do a lot. You're right. So I know how to roll, but I do prefer if whoever I'm smoking with roll up for me.

That's just the pretty girl privilege. You know what I'm saying? But let's get into the game. So how many flavors of backwoods are there? Oh, my God. I think about, look at my nigga Fade. All right, they just added the song. I think about four or five, but then I went to, I went to, like, London, and they got a

blueberry one, bro. Oh, okay. Yeah, they'd be having different flavors. Nogging, got it. But I think, like. Don't tell her the answer. It's the honey. It's the, it's the bourbon.

It's the, it's the, it's the, okay, it's the yellow pack, brown pack, the Irish cream, the Russian cream. It's the, the smoke junk. So it's like four-five. It's actually 18. Damn. Flavors are backward. But I give you extra credit. In America, it's four-five, though.

It's a thing, too. But I'd give you credit for the flavors you just named, because I was going to ask you to name some of the name five flavors. The yellow pack, the brown pack, the black pat. But you actually said the name. The honey. You said the Russian cream. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

I like them, too. They're my favorites. I was going to ask, what's your favorite? The honey. I love the honeies. Who said Russian cream? Like that Russian cream. There's some pretty girls over here.

No whole more head. Yeah, shout out to the backwood girls. Backwood girls. What's heading? All right. Jazee, well, we're not going to hold you. That was on the question you had? No, you answer all three because I was going to ask you name five flavors.

You did that in the first one. And I was going to ask you a wet flavor. Can I ask you a question? Absolutely. All right. What's your top three albums right now that you're listening to? Your top three. Top three, Doja Cat on repeat.

And I know how we feel about Doja Cat. She's amazing. She's amazing as an artist. She's a superstar. The beats are crazy. She's switching up the flow. She's got the lines, the bars. That's how it's true.

she treat her fans too because like she treated them like shit yeah but no it's but them her real fans like the ones that really stay when like the ones when she lost like a million followers and shit don't them ain't her fans like she's mind control she got mind control over Devo she's so smart I need to sit with Doja once all right so doja what else um what was I listening to before that I've been listening to I've been back in my R&B bag so I was definitely using a Diddy album your EP. I've been having R&P, R&B, kind of on Reef, and mixed out right now. What's your every song with my project? You know?

It belongs to you. Okay, okay. I'll take that. Yeah, that one, I had that one on repeat for show. That's your shit. I love you. It's sexy. Thank you.

And that's what we need. I think I'm looking forward to music being back. Sexy and cater to women or just making you feel something. Okay. Not just negative. Because after so while, listening for so long, listening to the same type of hip hop, you get bored a little bit. So that's what you think missing is you want sexy music.

More sexy music. More sexy. music or feeling something. I want to know if an artist, you know, artists used to rap about their mama. Yeah. Niggas don't even rap about their mama no more. They're grandma. Like, come on, what happened to that?

Yeah, I want to know something about you as an artist. I want to know what you feeling and what you're going through. And I appreciate you guys for doing that, bringing that back to R&B. You know what that's love. Okay. I'm glad you just gave me a little free game of what women want. We want to. We want to know the artist more on an intimate level and we want to feel something.

And not just always... Yeah. Fuck it. Like, it makes it sexy, though. Yeah, because it belongs to you. I don't say nothing sexual in it. Yeah, but it's still... But it's just how it makes you feel.
