And, of course, we got another dope performer that just hit the stage. here at One Music Fest, Smino. Smino! What's that, my boy? Hey, I don't know

to be over here, man? At one music fest, hitting the stage and blessing the crowd with them hits, man. Shit, I love Atlanta. You feel me? So, when music feels cold, it's like, my manager just told me the other day that Atlanta like my top streaming city.

Come on. So, you feel me? Hold up. We're going to celebrate everything Atlanta around here. Everything Atlanta around here. Man, this is one of them cities that when they like you, they love you, man. So what does that feel like to be at a home away from home and still be, get the same love and respect as an artist?

You know this shit feels just like St. Louis, really? Like, Atlanta, it's just bigger, you know, a bigger city, but it's just fire, bro. It's as far as black love. It's a little different, like, when your own fuck with you, too. You feel me? Yeah. Yeah. Like, nigs can go all around the world and shit.

But, like, you come back to your niggas, like, and they fuck with you. That's, like, the highest honor than me, straight up. I don't say, as an artist, is that important to you for Atlanta to fuck with you and rock with you because it is represented by so many blacks in the culture. Yeah, yeah. Top market. What's over, so. Most definitely.

And Fibo from here. Fabo? Yeah, yeah, I love Fabo. Everybody do. How could you not love Fabo? When you fall in love with Fabo? What was that moment for you? When that niggas start singing tatted up like that?

At the end. He said, Barbara, I'm like, oh, shit. I had him on the show and I asked him who Barbara was. Do you know what Barbara he was talking about? Who? Barbara Bush. Wow. He said he just felt like she'd be tatted up and nobody would know him.

That's crazy. I'm thinking Barbara is some lady he dealing with. This is an old white lady. I thought it was his grandma name, because that's my grandma name. No, that's what I thought. I thought that's the old black lady, grandma name. And you know, because that's everybody's favorite boy. I asked him straight.

Who is Barbara Bush? No hesitation, man. That nigga's special, bro. Really? Legend. He is, I don't want to say a mascot because I don't want to say, like, but he is like the image that I think of when I think of Atlanta. He is so Atlanta, bro.

I feel it. I definitely can second it. I feel that. D4L all that. Like, real. Oh, God. Straight up. I love that part.

I got a song, one of my biggest songs called Z4L. Z4L. Yeah, because it was like, you know, I love them. I love Fibo on me. Man, what's one of your favorite D4L songs, bro? I mean, my favorite D4L songs, Laffy Taffy probably. Laffy Tappy. You remember how the impact that that one had when it came out and it,

like, saying that overnight, everything was Snap then? Yeah, snap music. In general, yeah. miss snap music. Hey, man, y'all producers start sending snap beats, bro. All them Atlanta producers, man, y'all need to bring that snap music shit back, man. The world got the dance shit, man. Y'all need to bring y'all dance shit back.

Bring snap music back. Yeah, I think that's going to side the world, bro. Niggas ain't dancing like, you know what I'm all the man. It made it fun. It's going to side of the world, bro. We need snap music back, bro. Side of the world. Now, you know, we had a lot of local snap hits,

too, that didn't never get the credit they deserved. But it was popping in the clubs in Atlanta. Right, you remember the getaway, boys? Absolutely. She wanted G. And you got to make a snap music playlist, so, like, the people that don't know, like, the people that, like, you know, the Atlanta, the real Atlanta shit. Like, I don't know, I don't know. I don't know. I'm from St. Louis.

I want to know about the, like, you know what I'm saying, snap shit, y'all, like, when y'all was at the party type of shit. You got some new artist that's trying to do that now, like, with Duke Deuce. It's more on the crunk side of, is that era, but it's still dancing. He wants to. And I feel you on that because that music was easy. to listen to, the song could be about anything longer as you could say, you know what I mean? I'm with it. It was safe for everybody.

The kids are the ones who really made it go. Yeah. Oh, God. Are there any other Atlanta artists that you would love to collaborate with or work with? Um. It could be somebody that's not doing nothing now or like an OG in the game or somebody recent. You putting me on the spot. I don't even know off top right now.

I ain't gonna even hold you. But, uh, I for so want to work with Andre 3000 one day. Yeah, that's though. But that's everybody probably going to say that one. Andre to make some music. I know. Bro, I don't, at this point, I will listen to Andre 3000 on a whole album playing that flute. Oh, God.

Whatever that instrument is that he walks around out, he got to make an album of that. No, for so. You got like an African flute, like something like that. Yeah, wouldn't have. Woodwind or an obo. something? Yeah, he's probably about to drop one. Hey man, social media loves you and your music, bro. What does it feel like to be one of those ones that got handpicked by such a tough crowd? Yeah, that's shit crazy. I don't know. That's just random. Like, because anytime I ever

go viral for shit or like, anytime some shit happened, like, I never was like trying to go viral or make a video. You know, people make videos and they go good. Like, I had to do. I just be doing some shit and it just I think that shit just kept happening and the niggas like this nigga cool for real yeah yeah hey man st louis is breaking through man y'all got you the six of them broke through it and really shine the light on the city and we're saying that a lot of artists are taking advantage of you know st louis been in the spotlight what's the music scene like in st louis are the artists supporting each other are they working with each other is you know like because Atlanta we so used to seeing shit it's small we run into people

So everybody, fuck with everybody. What is that, yeah, what is St. Louis like in that aspect? At the, this very right now moment, I don't live in St. Louis. But anytime, like, I'm seeing how, you know, everything coming out and, like, all the new shit and artists that I'm finding out about, it's like, damn, like, it's a different type of nigger every time. You feel me, like, you got, like, you got, like, me. And it's just shorty-night, like, Blackieana or something like that. Section just did the song with him. Yeah.

But there's a lot of artists just, just, oh, you feel me. Jordan Ward, he's from St. Louis. an all-n-beat artist, but he hell hard, feel me, like, scissors and co-signing them and shit, you feel me? So, I think everybody be in their own world, like, when they make it, like, the people that make it out of the Lou, be in their own world with it more so than being like, you feel

me? Yeah. Because everybody got their own sound, different dynamic and shit like that, so, yeah, St. Louis is a little different. Now, you know, St. Louis had his own dance movement for the longest, too. Yeah, for sure. Give us an update on that. They still hitting it in St. Louis. I mean, nigga from St. He's gonna hit the chicken head, whatever.

Hey, Nick, gonna hit the mono. It ain't the chicken head. It's called the monastery, for real. Like, this is. Monastery? It's really the monastery, yeah. Because that's the club that they start doing it at. Yeah, yeah.

Oh, yeah, you know. Oh, you know, I know. I've been crossed that bridge. You really go, it's the Nina Pop, but. Most definitely. All that shit. Shout out to the whole nine. Yeah, whole night.

Oh, you help. Woo-Hoo! Come in there, let me all that. That's what ski is. Like, real shit, that's hard. Like, St. Louis's turn. That's why I love says, she be just saying, St. Louis shit, and that shit'd be going platinum.

You know how I knew she was raised around some old-ass ladies. What? I'm going to tell y'all how I knew sexy red was raised around some old-ass ladies. When she said, my son need a new pappy,

Yeah, this shit crazy. It's a rap. It came and went so fast. So how are you closing out the year? How you're going to start off the top of 24? But I'm trying, like, branch off from other shit outside of music on some business shit. So I've been just on my business, man, shit, like, all those shit I don't want to talk about necessarily right now. But, like, I want to, like, be partnering with companies and, like, making my company go up more, too.

But musically, I got more. I'm going right back to the studio, obviously. We're going to do some other shit. Keep going on it. That's what's up, man. You know how Lowe's was talking about how social media has showed you so much love, even from the beginning, and you popping on there. But do you, as a new artist or artists in the game,

feel the pressure nowadays to create music for it to pop on social media? Or do you think about the club? Or do you think about, like, where do you come from or draw the inspiration? Like, I wanted to pop here, or I needed to go there. Or do you just create what you like? No, yeah. I just be trying to do what I like, but on some real shit, like, I'm aware. Like, I'm aware that it's certain type of sounds that people like.

So I think I'm naturally, like, drawn to shit. Because I like the shit, too. I like the shit to everybody. Like, it's the reason that everybody like it. I like the shit, too. So I'll be like, I will implement that shit in my own way. And I'm also just, like, a nigga. So they come off when I'm being artistic and all that shit.
