It's DJ NVJ. J.N.V. Jess'Hilarious. Sholomaine the guy. We are the breakfast club. We got some special guests in the building. Yes, indeed. We got 8.03 Fresh. Home team and young guy here in the building.

Yes, so. What's up? Welcome, fellas. How y'all feeling? Where are the fans at? Where they got? They bought them. Now, if you don't know 803 Fresh, of course, they got the record right now that's if you've been out

in about, especially in the South, especially HBCU, Boots on the Ground is their song. Congratulations. Boy, is that song moving? Man, thank you, brother. Appreciate that. When did the song actually come out? December 24. That was like my Christmas gift to everybody. Now, Charlemagne alive.

That's like, that's all I've been out for three years. I'm like, Charlotte, no it has a three years. I was talking about just the whole line dance movement from South Carolina. Like, you know what I'm saying? It's definitely been going on more than three years. It just started picking up more in the past year and a half.

Absolutely. Yeah, people don't really get to see the line there especially on the East Coast as much, but when I DJ everywhere, you get to see it. And I remember I was in Charlotte, and a girl came up to me as like, can you play the boots on the ground? I had no idea what she's talking about.

I thought it was a mob deep song. I was like, is that a mob deep boots on the ground? I had no idea. It's out of Louis V. Louis V was like, yeah, I'm going to send it to you right now, sent it to me. And then when I played it, I seen the fans moving. I said, whoa.

You know what's crazy? It's crazy as it sounds, current political climate kind of boosted the record too. I remember people started posting saying, you know, we ain't tripping off what this administration is doing. Black people are finding joy, learning new line dances, and it would always be boots on

the ground with the fans. It took everybody like everybody's mind away from like the current, you know, the current, you know, stuff that's going on, man. So for me, it's like the unity in it. That's what makes it more appealing for me. You know, you got the two-year-old, you got the 82-year-old. You got the

everybody. I mean, grandma my aunties, that's what makes it more genuine for me, man. The dope thing about it was a lot of the line dance songs, a lot of older. Like, you're talking 20 years older. Like, when you go to a family reunion or a wedding or an HBCU, it's always the

wobble-wobble. It's always... Electric slide. Before I let go, then you play the Beyonce version, and this is something fresh and new. So let's start from the beginning for people that don't know. Who is 803 Fresh? Where are you from? And how did you get into this thing called the music industry? What's going on, everybody? 803 First, the kid, live in the

building man, listen, I'm from a small town in South Carolina called Wagner, South Carolina on one-stop sign, one-stop, like we all share the same dog. That's your show, they're not going to be bigger than Wagner. Yeah, yeah, yeah, Monscoma big and Wagoner, man. But I started off in the church, man, humble beginners, man, started off in the church, man, singing in the choir or whatever, you know, like the Protestant, I left away from it, you know, I went out and I started venturing into, like, more genres of, I tapped in the pop, I tapped in the R&B, I rapped a little bit, and then I found a little bit, and then I

I found Southern Soul, well, really Southern Soul found me, man. Been doing it about a year and a half now, man, and it actually saved my life, man. Explain to the people what's suffering soul is. Southern Soul is a mixture. It has a fine, undertone mixture of gospel, blues, soul, all, like, mixed together, meanded together, man. And it's solely based in the South, but when you hear it, it's like feel good music. When you hear it, it's like that music that touch your bones and they, you know, it's a beautiful thing. You just got to be in one of the events to actually feel it.

It changes the environment totally. You're saying we advocate for good time. We advocate for unity and that. And so that's why I chose to pick it back on that genre the most now. Yeah. You said it saved your life. How? What were you into before?

You know, with being in a rap culture, you said you have to adapt to that, you know, that rap environment. When I came to Southern Soul, I was battling some stuff. You know what I'm saying? And it pulled me out of that because of the good feeling that it had, you're saying, And then my mama was, she was able to be proud of, you know, when I'm rapping, she don't want to hit that, you know, she couldn't have, well, understand some of the stuff.

So when she heard my very first Southern Soul song that I dropped the call all night long, man, and I got that first confirmation from him. I already knew then that this was the genre for me. You know what I mean? Do you remember the first record that made you say, oh, like the one that touched your soul? What Sovereign Soul record touched your soul? As far as mine? No, just in general.

Shut up to King George, man. He's from down my way as well, man. He definitely kicked the door down for us, man. Keep on rolling. It's like one of those that, you know, really, really, really punched me, you know. And it gave me, like, some inspiration, brother. Like, you know, one of those brothers,

I mean, he's from South Carolina, you know, saying? He kicked the door, like, wide open for us. And when I heard that song, I'm saying, I automatically knew that this was the type of genre that I wanted to be in. Were you surprised how fast this record, quote him? Of course. I mean, because it's, it's,

everywhere and you know and people are learning to dance quickly when did you realize how big the record was man i woke up one morning oh i checked my tic-tok i mean i had so many notifications on ticot and ig you're saying but i thought somebody had died if it so um so um when i checked it whatever i seen the video the video was um you know a spot now my way called s bar you know it's a it's a it's a it's a maker for like the lion dance you're saying so i seen that and it was like maybe 20 videos I went to sleep and I woke up. It was like $500 video. You know what I'm saying?

I knew at that point right then that it was, I might have a little something. You know what I mean? And over the course of time, now I wasn't being, what, three months, almost four months, man. It is past me. So right now I'm playing catch-up to the song.

Everybody have been trying to put a face with the music. So here I am. Good morning. I feel like that's what, in Sluke, George, I feel like that's what he hasn't done yet. He hasn't put a face to his music. Because everybody listens to,

You know, at least down south, you see people play a lot of King George music. And he's a young dude. He only got 30-something years old, right? Yeah, bro. I think Joel about 30-something, 38? Yeah, about 39. Oh, 39. Oh, okay.

Yeah, but I'm saying, I feel like he hasn't done that yet. I don't wonder why. I don't know. I mean, timing is everything, especially for me. I mean, look how long I've been doing music. I've been doing music for over 20 years. As far as Southern Soul, I dropped five songs before a four boots on the ground. And then it picked up, you know, so, I mean, timing is everything.

So, y'all definitely stay tuned. Y'all going to see a lot more of him. and a lot more of the Southern Soul Front coming. When I noticed it got big was when I seen kids doing it. You know, from old people to kids, it was everybody got their kids doing it. And it's something, it's feel good.

It's like music that you had, the family reunion and stuff like that. Did anybody try to, like, reach out about signing you or anything like that? Oh, Mercer. I don't know. IG been blowing up. I ain't know.

Crazy. Crazy. It's definitely been crazy, man. But, you know, we started this company, this shots. out the snake eyes music group man we started this company you know from the bottom up you know we came with a vision it was just a vision and I think that we've done more in a year than a lot of folks have done in like five seven years are you are you signed to a major or no you're doing

everything independent we all independent oh so you get everything that you eat yeah we're in the um I'm proud of us man I ain't a lot proud of us but you know we all learn from each other you're saying as we move we learn we grow and um shots out the young guy man you know that's why I brought him He's one of the United Fronts that we stand with as far as Southern Saw. And they accepted me with open arms, man, and they had been doing it, you know, prior to me. But they showed me the roads that definitely wouldn't stand your game. And I can appreciate that, man. So everything independent.

So we're going to, I'm going to entertain something, but just not right now. How long have you been young guy, young guy? Man, I've been young guys for a long time. 30 years. That was right? I was saying. Like, I told us. We were just talking my name, an uncle guy in a minute, man.

I'm getting on up That would be crazy Because folks see me They say, you know You're a rapper? I'm like, No, then they get on stage And I'm singing some soul for shit

And they were like, damn, you know, I ain't expected But I kind of kept my name back When the younger day When I was a rapping man So when I jumped into music My story kind of, you know, similar to his You know, I've been

I've been rolling in the Southern Soul game Probably about two and a half years now And power social media I had a record that you know I was singing the garage and hosted it and changed my life you know what I'm saying insular so yeah man so I kind of I was tapped in on the rap side you like yeah man came up in a church you know saying try different things so far just me physically

doing music man I stepped away from music almost 14 years so when I finally just made on my mind like hey I'm funny get back in the studio get it rolling you know I'm saying professionally record me a song sit down and that that record you know I'm saying two record later I was driving trucks man I ain't drove a truck and almost a year and a half now, man. You step down just because of the frustration, you know, coming from South Carolina, man, I don't know if people even realize that there's so many people in South Carolina

who do music, whether it's rap, whether it's sing, but it's hard for people from South Carolina to get that break, so you just got frustrated. I'm from Mississippi, man, so it's working. You know what I'm saying? It's worse, so y'all from a... At least y'all got Bannon and Crit, though. Yeah?

You know what I'm saying? We ain't had one yet. Man, you're right. Y'all got a Peter Pablo, man. That's North Carolina. That's North Carolina. Yeah. I tried then, man.

But you had got frustrated with the music? No, man, for sure, man, because when you come, where we come from, man, you don't have the resources like that. You know, years ago, I moved to Atlanta. I was going to, you know, try to be around. When you're not around a music scene, like a music scene where, you know, Atlanta, when I moved to Atlanta, man, they got an open mic on a Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday.

You got, you got studios everywhere. You connect where you got a lot of people that can connect what you're trying to do. I mean, Sip ain't really got there. So you think about a big crick. Big Crick came out of, you know, shout out to Crick. He came out there. Crick is a one-stop shop. Write his own music.

Produce his own music. The whole nine. So, you know what I'm saying? Banda too, yeah. Yeah, for real. So, like, you know, you got to have a little bit more muscle behind you just to get out there, you know, from the side. So how did y'all connect?

Man, we met a couple, about two years ago. Yeah, I think my very first show out there in Natchez, I think. Yeah. Natchez, Mississippi, man. My first show, kind of nervous, you were saying, me personally. You know, I had just thought it was so. So, bro, came, he hollied at me. You said, he gave me that little pep talk,

whatever you were saying. I shrug my shoulders. Now, why I didn't do it. He came to me like, man, like, young guy, man, what I, because I was kind of moving pretty good then, you know what I'm saying? I had a record that was keeping me busy. And he was like, man, what I got to do? What advice can you give me?

I was like, man, you know, keep grinding, bro. You're going to get that one, and you're going to know what you got. So when I heard that boost on the ground, I called him, I said, you getting ready to be your rich nick. You know what I'm going to do it when you're always. You know what I'm saying? I knew it. From the first 10 seconds of the song,

I was like, man, this is fin to go crazy. And now I just see you look on social media, the shack dance and tour. You got, like, man, that is crazy. You know what I'm saying? So it's a blessing. And, man, I'm proud of my brother and we're just trying to keep it going.

What inspired boots on the ground, though? Like, when you sat down and said, you heard that beat and you're like, this is what I want to write about. Man, I tell the story all the time, man. I had a show in Phoenix City. In the back of the band or whatever, said like this,

I had a chance to experience my first trail ride last year. Went to the trail ride, you're saying? A couple of ladies had fans and whatever was hot, so they got fans. So I got a chance to go to my second trail ride, and I didn't see no fans. So I posed the question. Who are the fans at? You know what I'm saying? So with Boots on the ground, boost in the ground is already aligned that terminology, you're saying.

So, you know, when they say boost on the ground, you know, everybody has a party, we just took down type of deal. So I just really merged the two ideas and it became a good match. what's the trail ride for the people who don't know listen man trail rise is you know ATVs horses you're saying that line dances it's a whole like combination of all

good thing it's definitely a coach it's not really just an event you know what I mean and that's why I feel like Southern soul and line dancing is a perfect mixture you know I mean it's a great marriage you know it piggybacks off of one piggybacks off of the other

and if you ever come to the trail ride down there man I promise you could have a good time you might get a little dusty I promise you're going to have a good time. Now, every time you make a song, is it a line song now? No. Okay. See, that's one thing I didn't want to get caught in. I didn't want to get caught in, you know, just being the line dance guy.

At the boot, that's a boot diggum. That's a boot niggum. So, you know, and I've been thinking about, you're saying names for, like, an EPU or album, whatever, you're saying. And I really wanted to be versatility because I wanted to show them on all skills. I got different skills music. Yeah, but you could do it. Like, remember how Jermaine Dupre did back in the day? Like, he had the, what was it, the, what was it called it,

the Beat All-Stars where it was just one album, just doing all the uptempo. Oh, you're talking about, like, the, like, Shottie Swing My Way. He had a whole album or that, and then he had a whole album different ways of doing things. So you could do that, like, an anthem like that, because your HBCU is going to be crazy this week.

Springflings, homecomings, all that. They should start booking you now to try to get the cheapest prices as possible. You probably booked. Man, I got like, schedule crazy. I'm not what I'm saying. But it's on to Dixie, I told him. He got a show tomorrow. What is tomorrow?

Yeah, I fly tomorrow. Friday, Sunday and Monday. That's what's up, man. You booked on a Monday? Yeah. That's a little. Yeah, that's what's up, man. I know you don't want to just fall into the line dance, you know, genre of music,

but it's like nobody has made any that are great since. All, like, the five that we got. Probably Chacha. That's the last one I came, man. That could be, yeah. Chachah. I can't forget Cuba now. Cupid.

Cupid. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But, like, none since then. And it's, like, it's kind of hard to do. Like, you know what I mean? So for you to just come up with one and just do it, just off of what you felt, you got to do that more. Like, I'm tired of that.

I tell people, like, to me, about 10 or 12. I feel like, my opinion, I feel like line dance is like the new disco. Yeah. You know what I'm saying? It's a big thing in the black culture that, you know what I'm saying? We're just trying to shine light on because you got, You got people who, y'all, you know, y'all from the city, man. It'll make people fun of the city, man.

I'm going to go get me some boots. They're going to buy me a fan, caribble, a hat. It's a country that they shine a light on so people can experience. So it's just lion down. I'm investigative journalist Melissa Jeltson. My new podcast, What Happened in Nashville, tells the story of an IVF clinic's catastrophic collapse and the patients who banded together in the chaos that followed. We have some breaking news to tell you about.

Tennessee's Attorney General is suing a Nashville. In April 2024, a fertility clinic in Nashville shut down overnight and trapped behind locked doors were more than a thousand frozen embryos. I was terrified. Out of all of our journey, that was the worst moment ever. At that point, it didn't occur to me what fight was going to come to follow. But this story isn't just about a few families' futures. It's about whether the promise of modern fertility care can be trusted at all. It doesn't matter how much I fight, doesn't matter how much I cry over all of this.

It doesn't matter how much justice we get. None of it's going to get me pregnant. Listen to what happened in Nashville on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Have you ever listened to those true crime shows and found yourself with more questions than answers? And what is this? How is that not a story we all know? What's this? Where is that?

Why is it wet? Boy, do we have a show for you. From Smartless Media, Campside Media, and Big Money Players, comes Crimeless. Join me, Josh Dean, investigative journalists. And me, Rory Scoville, comedian, as we celebrate the amazing creativity of the world's dumbest criminals. We'll look into some of the silliest ways folks have broken the laws.

Gabe Ortiz became one of the highest-ranking law enforcement officers in Texas. 32 years, total law enforcement experience. But his brother Larry, he stayed behind and built an entirely different legacy. He was the head of this gang, and nobody was going to tell him what to do. You're going to push that line for the calls.

Took us under his wing and showed us the game, as they call it. When Larry is murdered, Gabe is forced to confront the past he tried to leave behind and uncover secrets he never saw coming.

sell them to South Carolina, there be 7,000 people out there. You feel it, man? African music, too. African music has it as well. They got African line dances? They had line dances. Like, Jerusalem is a line dance. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, man. That's the ill thing, though. The artist, like, it's not like you created the dance.

No, yeah, yeah, yeah. And see, that's the sweetest thing about it, too, you said. Oh, you didn't create the dance. No, the people, they choose it. They choose it whether it's going to be, you said, a line dance to it or not, you know what I'm saying? So, when they see that on TikTok, it was like four or five dances, different dances to it. You know, I reposted it once, I started to Tray Little. When I posted it, everybody took on, you know, said, to that one because it was real easy, it wasn't Tamia-ish. You know, to me, it got about...

I'm still confused with that. You know what I mean? That's a line dance? Yeah, it's a line dance. Yeah, it's a line dance, too. Yeah, to me's my line dance. It's like the cursive of line dancing, you feel. I'm being so confused, man, with that one.

You got to be a pro for that one. Yeah, that's definitely not intermediate. Anyway, you had to learn your own dance, basically. Yeah, and I can't that way there. So you just picked that one and was like, this is the one we rocking with it, because if 20 people said different dances, that's why I said the-

and everybody being in sync. The people chose it, man. Boots on the ground was not intended to be a live dance song. It was just blessed to be that way. Even with the fan, bang, bang. Like, with the fans. That's just something that you do when you hide. Yeah, you know, and I didn't know that fans, like the fans were, like, a big part of the, you know, the, the Trevor I seen until I made the song with it.

And now I hear, like, you know, 10, 20 different songs with fans now, you know what I'm saying? So it definitely is a part, like, a big, important part of the culture. So I think I just revived it. Why not the church fan? Oh, the church fan, too. They use the church fans. I think the sales on church fans are at an all-time high right now. Yeah.

Yeah, church fans. You know, Amazon, when I first came up with the song or whatever, they were just clacking fans. If you go on Amazon right now, they're boots on the ground fans. You got Louis Vuitton got fans. Oh, I saw that. No, I thought that was some bullshit. Wow.

But that's when I knew y'all was getting, I was like, oh, they're out of head now. Teeu got boots on the ground fans, you know what I'm saying? So it definitely has been impactful to the culture, man. I'm just proud to be a part of it. They're going to be waiting for them Timo fans. I tell you that. Yeah, yeah. I got a thousand out there right now.

But, anyway, everybody going to be waiting for new music. Do you got more after boots on the ground? I'll take something. I got so much music, I'm saying, and I got music like before. I got a previous catalog.

I got five songs that I dropped. Like I said, I've only been in a year and a half. Now I mean, but as far as the catalog, man, I got widespread catalog that's getting ready to come. It was just the timing

we were waiting on. You know what I mean? So I think it's the perfect time for everybody to see me and, you know, what I got the offer? Versatility is coming. What's the toughest challenge

about being an artist from South Carolina? The weight that's on my back, you know what I'm saying? Because not only do I stand, I mean, yeah, boosting the ground is for me, but I stand with a lot of weight that I'm carrying as far as Southern Soul as a whole. See, this is what my main part is, and I ain't go out, this is the reason why I came to hear you saying, I want to make Southern Soul that main genre. You know, it's been, you know, sublime, like, it's been, like, undertone for so long.

And, you know, that Chitlin circuit has been going on, like you got grates that came through that Chittling circuit, like Tyrone Day. Marvin Seas, James Brown, just muddy waters. All of these guys would come under that chitlin circuit, man. And it really had a catalyst for it as they brought to the front. So I take myself to be a martyr in that, you said, I want to be able to display it as being a main genre and showing that, you know, we come with the United Front.

I got Sharmaika Joquil out there, you know, saying, a grown-ass woman. I got Frank Johnson out there. You can hate on me. I got young guy right here, you know what I'm saying? Like, take heed. These are all very impactful songs to the culture. and when I bring my boots on the ground

I want to bring them as well so that's probably like the biggest thing as far as like I'm carrying that weight and I want to be a good advocate for them Well you know you got to get yourself all the way through the door first You know what I'm saying That's why I think a lot of people

Fault a little bit Because they want to represent for the whole state And they want to bring everybody with them And usually all those people end up weighing them down Before you get the way you need to be I think that with me how I present myself How I carry myself as you know hey you know he's he's a strong front by himself you know it's just i want to be a good

representative for him you know it's not that i'm pulling them up you're saying the way that i walk my character is what you know it puts it out there like oh oh i like him let me see what they got going on you know what i'm saying i let my walk you're saying speak for me i mean it's i i can't have in a moment right now you got trap dicky yeah man shot out the trap man you know black zach um little boss rest and peace speaking now because i guess a lot of people doing it but I really love what the Southern Soul is doing because that's a whole different genre. And we call it the Chitlin Circuit.

But really, what I call it is the heart and soul of black America. Definitely, bro. Like, that's what the majority of black people in America are in the South. Don't advocate for violence, man. We advocate for unity, like good timing, you know what I'm saying? You just got to pay attention to a lot of this music, man.

And it's like real life relatable stuff, bro. It ain't, you know, fabricated, you know what I'm saying? It's real life relatable things. And I think that's why people gravitate, like, towards it a little bit more. that I'm able to, you say, oh, yeah, I'm going through that right now. You know what I mean? So I think that's why everybody would gravitate towards it.

But it's definitely a movement, man. If you had to pick one song that best represents you, that's not boots on the ground, what would it be? You know, that's a tough one, shall I, man. One you ain't got out to it. Yeah. Yeah, I don't know. You know, because, like, all of them is, like, a representation to me.

You said, I feel all of them. you know what I mean so y'all just stay tuned man I ain't allowed y'all just I got so much that's coming behind me I don't even know how to pick it you gonna get these patent huh you'll get these I think we got them stamped all right okay

I think we got them stamped man because I'm looking here yeah you're right Amazon they didn't jack them prices up $16 you need to you know I'm inadvertently employing people that I don't have to hire you know I mean everybody's selling boots on the ground shirts everybody selling fans or whatever

you're saying this was something that nobody had thought about it. They weren't tapped into it. So everybody's able to make money. So I just feel like I'm an employer. You know, I gave everybody if saying something they can make their money off of. And, you know, that's what hit me the most too, you know. Hey, I'm helping you lot. You got to teach us to dance when you leave, man. Yeah, you got to show us to dance. Somebody put the song on. I will say this though. Jess, you say you know how to do it? No, I'm saying.
