to having me on your program on the podcast. It's a pleasure. So honor, okay. Honor. Fucking Bujo. Bon Ton's the darn.

We're doing shit, man. That shit ain't no normal shit. We had Michael Jordan yesterday. Now we got fucking Buja Bontan. This ain't a game right here. Step by step by brick by brick with a billion. You know, everybody, I know you're humble. I know you show everybody love and respect,

but ain't nobody boojubanthas. I don't give a fuck. Nobody. Who it is? This couch is royalty on the couch. Yeah, nobody's budgey bongton on the don't. Carl Gamel since the 90s, all the way to now, the biggest.

You went on tour, you went aboard an airplane. You came back, I never seen nobody like, yo, boojoo think, yo, yo, yo, booed you left. Let me tell you something. Bujoo left when the money was real good. No, no, no, no, no, no.

Bojoo left when the money was real good. He came out, Joey was money, Joey. I said, yo, booj you know where you're going to get to the next thing? I know a month later he, He bought his own airplane. I said, yo, Bujo, I ain't got no fucking airplane. He got right to it. He got right to it.

Yo, Budjo, I love you, my brother. I love you, too, brother. I don't know. Joey's right. I came home. Touched based, I feel my friends. One of the most important questions. A couple questions.

Like, oh, are you? Who the family? Next question was, where the money at? Where is it? What's going on? What's going on in the industry? What's going on in the world of what we know? The music business, what's going on?

He's right. Yeah, budja, you know, it was a guy in Africa, fake guy. Use a budger name. You know, I dissed him on TV. That was when I was hosting the, what was it? The Wendy Williams show. Shut him down. He changed his name.

Yeah. I told him there's only one budge bond ton. The don't gaga mel, this down, or TV. It went back to Africa. The guy changed his name. Now he's X 1312 or something. Mawracher changed his shit. I don't play that shit.

And then, Bucro. Fuck that. You know, like, most people. They get the name from their friends. They get the name from, you know, do some stupid ship and people name them. My name came from my mom. Yeah.

So it wasn't a name given to me by my friends. And I took the name Bantan due to my adoration for Burr Bantan and his musical deliver in the dancer, you know, because ever so often we have to keep in mind in the people that there's a distinguished difference between a DJ in Jamaica and a DJ here. I didn't need you here's the guy who plays the music. The DJ in my country's guy

who hold on to the microphone and talk on the version, it's peace and the beat. So, prominent one, from in those, he was Borobanam, you know, came to America, made a name for himself. So the Bojo came from my mom, and the Bantam came for my adoration for his craft and how he used to play, his musical, talent in the dance. So it's not something that is given to me by a friend and so on and so forth.

So when a young man came and said the name Bojo, I knew the problem it poses because automatically most of the algorithms is run now by a certain ways and all the algorithms start getting confused they're going to who's bojo so we had to regulate that

to make sure that you know what I mean you have to find a new name yo I did that shit on TV I got a phone call silent phone call for somebody said you did the right thing Joey hung up the phone and I said

I right well I probably can't go to that part of Africa no more, but he said, I swear the guy, I gotta fuck him. We got mutual friends. Al-a-Poppa. They call up and say, Joe, you did the right thing. Joe, I said, that's right. You know what I'm saying? We got to salute the Gargamel.

The Gargamel and me go back 30 years, you know, putting that yellow-tail fish. He used to tell me all the time, Joe, you got to get slim, Joey. Joey, the fat, Joey. It's not going to make it to the future. Yeah, yeah. He used to tell me

this shit back in the day. fish, Joey. Joey just eat fish, Joey. Joey, don't do this and this and that. He was the first guy talking that health shit to me back in the day. I go like this. I'll tell you one story, Courtney. I do Disney work.

So I'm gangster rap or whatever. I hit one out the park. What's love? Just white people love me all over now because they know what's love. It's like I hit one out of the park. So I'm doing Disneyland. So I do Disneyland, and I

bring Buja with me. I'm like, yo, Boju come through, he'd come through. Boju come out there. He started ripping it down. And then he starts saying, you know,

Disneyland and the Lujan. These people, he's starting to shit on the... Right. Turn the mic off. Turn to mic off. Please, these people here,

Joey, I'm like, yo, put you. So, yo, we've got many tears because

once I land in New York City and you know, the hood and everyone from the community knows that I'm not going to come in the Bronx. My next Schenek is Joey Prack. So you see a Mercedes-Benz

stay like this coming through O-Therb. Big pun on that Ben's the Fed. You know what? That's Joey. Oh, you know, the car is he? The car was leaving.

What? I go one day. I go one day. say, Gah, but you can't get. So we have many good days. We know we spend

most of the time in the studio, working with Cool and Dre, DJ Khalid. Yeah I mean? All the other, his crew at the time. Big Pond,

boss. You know what I mean? Those days, Jabba, at 97 Jabba was around as well. Bobby Candice. We got to salute Bobby Campes

and Jabba for holding out. And what about David Levy? I never seen David Levy in my life. I never met David Levy. Me. We've been fucking listening to him since we was being.

Rocking you, rocking you, rocking you, rocking you, rocking you. He's still around, even what he does. Oh, he is. I listen to him still. And those people are quite instrumental and important to the development of music and the growth of the Caribbean music and this side of the world. Because even though they might have an hour,

one day or the week, it was so important that everyone tuning just for this hour. And it has grown now somewhat. We know the advent of internet, you have internet radio, everywhere. You got Spotify.

You got all type of shit. All over. Back of the day, those guys paid the news. Oh, big time. Overpaid. Big time. These guys,

they kept the true to reggae music since day one. Like, who's some of the, what you know, you introduced me the,

Big youth. The legend. The legend, Big youth. Tell these people, they don't know big youth. Big youth, the first.

Yeah. Fat Joe hang out with Big U. Yes. Tell them, Bojo. The dreadlocks down to the fucking street. You tell them, Boj. You fucking tell him, Boj. You fucking tell on me,

Jamaicans. Going white place road on me. Big U. Yes, so we sound old. You know, because the Caribbean consists of many different nations of which Puerto Rico's apart

in New York and more closer to the land to the Americas. Nevertheless, we see them as a part of the Caribbean. Right. This togetherness, where we don't see anyone based on invisible borders, which was designed geographically. So the people of Puerto Rico, all other islands,

we welcome them as long as Panama. We welcome them into our culture. That's just who we are, we'll show them love and, you know, hanging out with Joe, hanging out with his friends, hanging out with my peeps, holding a good vibe, and going to the club, shit, go down in the clubs, we all stand up together. That's right. You know what I mean? No matter what.

Yo, yo, we just want to let y'all know 1800 is the official tequila of Joe and Jada. We're doing it big right now. We're keeping it 1800 the premier tequila. And let me tell you something, this 1800 is something special. When me and Jada get on that 1800 is fire. You can see we got the engraved special bottles. A staple. Known for craftsmanship and consist. Yeah I mean, 1800. 1800.

Boja, let me tell you something. I was scared to fly. So I knew Bucci when I was scared to fly. I had my first show in Jamaica. By the way, everybody talks. Budja don't talk like that. But everybody talks, everybody say this, everybody say that, everybody's this, everybody that. Bojure such a superstar.

Okay, you wasn't there. at that dinner with Michael Jordan. Michael Jordan was explaining to me the difference of a star and a superstar. Budja Bontan cannot eat in the Jamaican restaurant. Budjibon can not be in the Jamaican section. If he goes to the store by the time he comes out,

there's 1,000 guys outside. There's nothing he could do. Mark Anthony cannot eat in the Puerto Rican restaurant. He cannot go into it because these guys are super star. So he used to escape the Jamaican community and hang out with the Puerto Ricans in the Bronx with us. Then, you know, if you knew them, you knew them.

If not, you know, it is what it is. He's hanging out over here, nobody harassing him. He could to go. You got bad bunny, right? And bad bunny's biggest star in the world, and he's going, the Bronx, Washington Heights, it's a direct, I don't know, you can be in Puerto Rico

and say Yonkers Warburton, the next street over from Puerto Rico is the Bronx. There's just no way. It's the next street. In Jamaica, New York City, well, maybe Miami too, but New York City, like he said,

every week they listen to in the Jamaica to David, Levi, and Bobby. It's just so direct. You come from Jamaica, you're going to even a far rock away, you're going to 23rd White Lake. It's just too much of a day. direct. The Jamaican community is quite integrated in America.

Nevertheless, New York has been good to us, ever since the early days, early advent of dance and music, traveling out of Jamaica, which was primarily to Canada and New York City. In those days, you used to have clubs like love people, that are you guys maybe not even old enough to remember, as they might know love people, the underground with David Levy,

Billmore Bar Room, Jimmy's. Jimmy's cat. He's an act about three. What act three? Owned by name. Yeah. And there was at a

Tilden Bar Room, you know, Albany Manor. And there are so many places where the community would gather to express themselves and the music grows, you know? So we're all integrated

and we are play a part even though, I mean, a lot of people do not wish to acknowledge it, our cultures with one multicultural and melting part. It started everything. So, you know, Jamaica started the Afro beats.

We know everything comes from Africa. Panama, El Jena'a started regates home. Yes. You know, he cursed me out one day. Butja, come on. No, I swear to God. I got to give it El Jhanedal, Myanmar. He won a big pun on the record.

I told him $50,000. He told me, Listen, fat motherfuckers, suck my dick. Fuck your mother. I'm in hell, let it all this. I'm listening on the phone. I'm like, I'm dying laughing because I can't believe in hell of it all

is cursing me. I fuck you. I'm the legend of legends of Latinos the nerve of you to charge me and that fuck you this. Hung up. I said, yo, I was a real motherfucker boy. That's my dinger right there.

You know, hey, and yon. Boom, boom, boom. Mommy, mommy. Oh, bye, bye, bye. So ever since then, you know, we've seen where it has ours will provide. Because it's expression, right? It's expression for those who are not normally get the same medium to express their inner feelings or the creative side. We see where various nations from the Spanish-speaking communities start at that ever since 11th.

So we find ourselves over here in our Puerto Rico, find yourself all over, various. I would love it. They appreciate it because you're taking our culture further. I mean, like, many people might feel like, I mean, sometimes when I speak about these issues,

they might get offended. But I was asking, simply, acknowledge it. Acknowledge it. You got to acknowledge it. I said, you got to acknowledge it. And that's the problem with, I think, this generation

or not even this generation, all generations. It's right there. Don't lie to us and don't acknowledge it. Like, you know what you're doing. You know what you did. From everybody, you understand? Because there's something very spiritual about Jamaican music and Jamaica.

There's something that transcends when I'm in Germany and I see a white boy with fucking dreadlocks and Jamaican shit, the straight white man playing the fucking reggae shit all day. This is a different, this is for such a small island to just go globally. They're Japanese Jamaicans. There's all type of Jamaica. Like everybody falls in love with Jamaica and the culture. You know, you just got to acknowledge it. Like, I'm with you with that. I'm with you with that.

You know, we had a legend. Pass away, big legend. Willie Cologne started South of Music, with Hechtalabo, who I think is the greatest of all time. And, man, they did his funeral yesterday. He'd come out in the casket, and they go, Poon-um-pum, pong, pong, with thousands of people in the street. And I'm watching it on the Instagram, and I'm like, man, they saluted them like a king.

Lived, lived, lived. And so, you know, there's legends. You know, Boudja, you come on. Who you come up? Shabarank, that whole beginning era. I come up in the era when the music was turning, just turning. I come up when you have guys like Flower Gone, Red Dragon, Daddy Lizard, Clement, Iri, Pampego. You had early block, dignitary, stylish, general trees.

Yeah? Nicodemus, Chakademos. Tullotie. I come up, Admiral Bailey, Major Worries. In those days, Major Warriors was like a teacher for all DJs. Major Worries was a teacher for all DGs. Major Worris was way ahead of his time. Major Worris was the first one who taught us to really flock to it

and made little vice like computer pan hallery. Yeah? And after the major died, you know, Admiral breakout, Chabarang's breakout. So then they became the next set of mentors or we have to look up to. But originally, Jamaica music,

dance and music was never ever something from Uptown. It was always a road boy music, you know? The streets. Uptown they call like boohing, rich people like he saw them that come from the streets.

Yeah. It was so much so that you couldn't even let your parents know that you have musical aspirations. because, you know, the people who represent those bad boys. You know, every one of them in those days was singing about their experience that they had in the ghettos.

And through the passage of time, things changed so much that the very music that was once despised, ridiculed and their children were admonished, not even to play it or go near it, they started, encouraged their children, to become a part of that music. Now, bear in mind, we sang from our experience where it be hardship, gang warfare, political warfare,

political tribalism, police brutality, you know, women and woman drama. We sing from our reality, and we make that into something that other people can identify with because for some strange reason, we might share the same experience, We never talk about them. Until someone sings about it, then we can open this air.

Because someone, someone identified the elephant in the room. So come now, full circle, everyone seems about their experience, but somehow we have lost a piece of what this really is. I only really come from. You know, I grew up in an industry where there was always the king of dance star, which is Yelaman. And it was the people who said him was the king, voted for him. And I didn't hear anyone say

Yellow Man lose this crown. Because the man to keep the foundation. But we might not even know a Yellow Man song to date. Many people might not even aware of an answer by the name of Yellow Man who made such a great impact on the dance song community.

To bring it international before the rank in. So after Yellow Man, as I were first international dancer superstar. We had Shabarang, so we were following him foot school to take the music further. What's my guy off? Let's.

Turn to that. Motherfuck. And Matt Cabra as well. Mark Hover rang off here. He was killing out here. The music was, we could identify him with songs. You would find yourself just going through some things and you hear a song and you're trying to mind here

for a time when you was in school. Big time. I remind you of something that happened on, would you have among your friends, they became time markers now. The music began time markers. We hope and pray that remain the same for generations to come. Yes.

So that reggae music and dance and music and bring new adherence. Because when it come to a point we no longer like a song, something is used as to are because we grew up thinking the only thing that never dies is music. And that's what we try to do. We try to preserve

the culture. We try to give the kids an experience. And what's been coming on here lately, not like you, because like I explained when you came, you're like a Michael Jordan, you're a fucking goat. Nobody fucks with Boudre d'Ban. That's just it, period. Creaming the crowd. And so, you know, for you to sit there and say, you know, it's about expression, it's about passion, it's about, you know, music is therapy for us. A lot of times we, we've, we've go through shit. We got to go in that studio and get it off. And that's what it's really truly about it. It wasn't just about chasing the check. What's the new gimmick? What's the new this and this

We're the first people to do podcasts. Pretty, yeah, pretty wide range of podcasts throughout there. But this one's extra special. So how did we actually come up with a name Hey Jonas, guys? I honestly don't remember. I think it was on a call about what we should call it. We were thinking, I'm originally calling it

one of the early names of our band before Jonas Brothers was... This is how you guys remember it going down? Yes. I have a very different memory of this. We were talking about a thing, a bit for the podcast where people could call in and say, hey Jonas. And then I wrote down on my little notepad, Hey Jonas. And offered

it up as a potential title for the podcast. But thanks for remembering that, guys. Listen to Hey Jonas on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. Just listen.

One thing I never understood, and maybe you could explain me because this is educational, is the Chinese Jamaicans, right? So from here they have that. What are I do now? I want to hear about this. I'm sure. Do you know about it? No. All right, so I want to learn.

I want to learn. You got Chinese Jamaica's and big DJs out there in Jamaica, right? The Chin family, I believe they are. Like, so tell me how they become Chinese Jamaicans. Like they, over the years, Jamaica's always been a place to them, furious people migrated. So no doubt this is a family hybrid. However, that's not important to me in the grand scheme of things.

What they did to me is more fundamental. They were visionaries who saw that the talent had the potential to be greater than just talent in the community. Hence, they invested ran this record shop and the record in studios and they invest in the talent. They invest in the culture.

And so we can't take away anything from them because they saw an opportunity and seized the moment. That's why they're still here today even on Jamaica Avenue. I mean, other people want to knock them but do good business

and you have a problem. You understand them. So we're I'm concerned and I have to give them price because they were visionaries. Now, through the tool, our former prime minister, Edward Seagg, was also a major musical producer

who owned even a pressing plant, Beverly Music, Enosur, something like that. And then you have PJ Patterson, who are former prime minister, who used to be the manager, but Claritonians. And we have our current minister who's very much involved in youth sports

and other kind of thing, this Grange. So we have a long history of working with the leader and the top edge of lands of the country as it concerns development of music as well. But the level in which it changed contributed their time, effort, money for the development of a music that could be here now and expose a lot of our young people.

But that was before, at the same time, we had Duke, around about the same time. Duke Creed was another producer. Clement Sir, Clement Cawkeson, Dad, was another producer. Winston Riley, King Tubbies. And these were, who were just making music

when Lee Scratch Perry, the gang them, Bob Marys them, Piedeatheatatat. These guys were just making music from the hear, from the heart. Yeah. Excuse me.

So we went through a era where the gentleman them have to distinguish what was the music business and what is the business of music. Failure to do so we'll render your poor forever. And we can take a look

and turn the pages of history to see who will able separate the two. I stop there. So you go. Music business and what's the business? You go away. Yeah, that's a Jada kiss line back day.

That's a Jew right. You come back, they show picture of you in the airport just walking. It was like Budja, we followed every second when you came out. Like, I remember I was on a flight. And he said, no, Budge. He's out. Remember, Joe?

Yeah, it was like, you know, budgey. Even in bandage, I think I spoke to you a couple times while I was in bandage. Yes, the pain was real, yet pain, weeping men dole for a night, but joy do comment in the morning, right? So that joy was undeniable, it was not forced. It was a real natural joy and a joy express, not only by the way of the people, but by the will of the most die God, because of the vice of the people is the vice that would try and leave him God. No, I was able to catch a remix. God. Yes.

We and Jada Kiss. We did bless. Tell them so we bless. Yeah. We and Jada Kissed that where he was able to. So right now in this dispensation,

the new world that's coming to the forefront of the musical arena is this new album by Bojibantan for the year 2026. Coming to you this summer. Won't give you the title

of the album as yet, but my first single is called Butterflies. Now, butterflies. It's not psychopathic, crazy. It's more something for the ladies then. Because I find that our music primarily

speak to a demographics way they feel like it's all about being a gangster and a rude boy, but there's the ladies them over there with this love and affection and they need to be reminded that they're a part of our community and a very integral part of our life. So butterflies aim to ignite I reignite that passion.

You follow me? Yeah. So, I don't know the seleiter can play. You and boss it for them. So to the release and butterfly. Bust it tune. Butterfly.

Butterfly. Butterfly. Bote. Bo! Bo! Bo! Who? Select a yavvick. Put your bottom, pun to that tall, you know? Pretty lady.

I'm here, baby. You know, you make a feel butterflies. I'm going to love. So this one. What? This one is called butterflies. Round you. Shooting the one is out of the park.

My baby. Out of the power. It's it out of here. Coming on this young time. Right. Well, when you, you're, you'll make a feel butterflies. I'm going to love. So all the butterflies,

all the girls, love on the same. Put it up. So, make I feel butterflies, I'm going to love. Well, if you're

crushed, then your body get flush. Very curiosity me what I feel your touch. Love you with passion and you're so conventious.

Tell you what my chant it clearly, it's obvious. So, this is the first thing produced by Super Dopes, You know, Super Dobs, again, is another bedroom with Chinese heritage from the Jamaican community. We invested this time because they've a son named Black Chinese.

That's a sort of popular in Jamaica. So they merge from playing the sound system to make it beats in the studio. So this is super. They have done many famous works, no doubt. Superdubs is very acclaimed, you know? Yeah, but you know that sounds like Budja Bant. Well, this next album... That's Budja Bant, Chan.

This next album is 100% Dan. dance hall, you know, sometimes. You know what I mean? I'm going to start out, you know, the dance style, but through the passage of time, we have to give the people the music that, you know, grow with them because you have life and you have experience. But you have to go back to the roads at time

and not only go back to the roads, but to teach a generation because no one having a respect nowadays, you know? And if you want to go out and flag everyone that's a whole like a flagging, she just use one belt and beat everybody. Woo! One belt, man.

You have to set a separate foundation. So 20 years, some know, a generation will emerge and say in 2000, or in 2000 and 10, 2,000, and 20, 2,000, and 25. This was reggae music and this was dancing music. This is the history of it. No. Someone has to remind because it's hard work. A lot of people realize they are lazy.

What it takes for us to make a proper song to come forward. It's an easy work. Some people want a quick fix and get the glory. But true work that's standard test of time. starts with hard work. It's hard work. It's a lot of concentration, a lot of hard work.

A lot of dedication. All the sweat. A lot of time. And she's just, you know, some people, they just look, lucky and what? When you want to do that, right,

because Mujavansan, I've never been whacking this life. I'd never heard a wax song in my life. Well, not if I'm making it. That song right there is out of the park. That song,

right there, sound like we just opened a CD of Budja Bantan's greatest hits and that just came on. Like, that record right there is out of here. Well, the whole entire album promises

to be exciting, ranging from love togetherness. I mean, you know, our style. You know, hardcore, rude boy dance-all style. So this album, look forward to it. Excuse me,

because the promise is to be dynamic, exciting, fulfilling, rewarding, and above all else, musical. Wow. I love you. You're going to hit some Marines at the drop. Well, right now we're planning on the road this summer, Bochiband and Stephen Mali hit the road. Wow. You know, two lions, you know, in an effort to bring back the love that the music industry

have and should have. And we're going out there in the month of June, June 18, we should be on the road. and also to make sure that the masses them get a whiff of its new record by then it should be all the whole entire project should be released. This going to fuck this summer up. They'll recognize this.

Well, this summer shall be late. Put it that way. It shall be outside. It's out. Shout out. Stephen Mali, a hell of an actor. Ragamuffin. You mean, Kimani.

Kamani, Kamani. No, no, no, no. No, no. No, no. Who's, it. Shattis. Kim on him. Come on.

Mernie. You're fucking. Mani, man, he should have did a bunch of more movies after that, man. Like, he, that shit, shot is a classic. Without a doubt. So that's the next avenue of our exploration as a concern, curating the culture and film, you know? Maybe that's the next era we need to start looking to seriously

before it is, um, before it's a sweat from on our feet. There's a lot of culture vultures. Oh. So, you know, the ties are changing where you can speak up for your people from the Latino person I can speak up from a small demographic for those who I am able

for, you know, I mean eventually the whole purpose is also come together and farm a total individual and become investors in our own arts. That is just music, films, whatever, whatever, whatever.

Because this is how other nations did it. We don't really figure out the blueprint here because we still want to be better than the next person. Think not figuring out together we can all be better. Yes.

Talk slow, too, man. Talk slow, meaning to everybody, if you didn't catch that, is that everybody could be successful. You need to be happy for your brothers and your sisters that are successful. This ain't all a straight competition. I got to be better than you or better than that. You know, be happy for everybody because the more of us that's winning, the stronger we actually are as a culture.

And so a guy I'm a fan of, from Jamaica's busy signal. Good guy. This man, Budja, for a long time, they no let him in America. And they let him in. And he went on that Bobby Condus and rapped for like an hour straight. I had to pull a car over. He fuck up the place so bad, budge. I had to listen like, yo, this guy's doing this shit.

Yo, this guy's crazy. He's a big, I never met him. I went on. I'm a fan. I heard that business signal coming from the old school, just like. Yeah, yeah, it's the old school. When last of you, being on the highway, I hear the radio lit from that angle.

Nah. Because first and foremost, I realize that the beats, they're not being utilized. So I'm asking myself, is it a situation where the beats are not being utilized because they cannot be utilized or because they cannot be ridden? I just think they're peeing are lazier now.

What we're doing, we're losing apart. All right. There are certain beats when it comes on, it does something to you. You're automatically. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Jack, this new beat, this kidney from Jamaica.

The double a why you felt, why you feel like rhythm, when I just played earlier when I just came to say, that's me, man. Busted for me. Buster. Lope and talking.

Great. Big up, P.J. Mac. Buster one there. What extraate you? So, who want music to make us feel and come alive, no matter what we're going through?

That's how we escape. And if it keeps us trapped, we're not escaping. It's always about the music. It's always about the beat. You know, they say, Yo, Joe, why you rapping so good? The beat is great.

We speak still. Now, if you're doing a whack beat, you'll be in their life. Come on, everybody, what to do that, you said. You stuck like a motherfucking. Yeah, my fucking. So these are some of the stones

we're coming forward with, you know, to reignite a passion, and music, you know. Not to try to outshine, although because whoever do I be in the sun, nevertheless as hellas of always make sure that the road still paved. That's right. And trouble free and the music flow consistent.

That's right. I'm not in the fray, but I'm not totally away. But that way. Yeah, yeah, you have to leave the youth to do them thing, you know. That's elders and OG. Some time I've tried them are born too, you know. Yeah, they know when the OGs, step up.

They know who got it. Yes. Education purpose only. It's true. Because the youth, they say, all right. That's the bond town. You know, they're not crazy. They grew up their whole life listening to the bond town.

Trying to be the bond town. You can't be the bond town. So it's like, you know, just take the experience. Your, Boudja, let me tell you something. You know, we always want somebody come home. from jail, say Max B did 18 years. We expect them the first day to sound just like the Max B that we lost 18 years ago, right?

So Budja come out, you made great music and everything, but this project right here, you marinated enough since you've been out to where this is Budja Bontan. I want to hear music and I can't hear it, so I'm going to meet the music I want to hear. Wow. Talk slow to me.

Wow. Boop, boop, boop, boop, wow. And that's like you, because every crime, I bump into this guy on the road. He's playing the good music. But it don't make that kind of music no more. So I hear him, he's pumping on it, he's pumping this.

I'm like, yo, man, what happened to that fucking good music, man, to the fucking legendary music. And they just don't make it like that, no one. So you know what? You gotta make it yourself. You know, do me a favor, James left the computer, huh? We can start with Biggie. Rest and peace.

Jamaican. We could do Buster Rhyms. I need somebody to Google what artists are Jamaican? Heavy D. Heavy D. Heavy D. Oh, my God. Biggest.

Biggie Smalls. Yeah. Buster Rahn. Smurznav. You know? Slick Rick the Ruler. Sean Paul's in East Jamaica. Like he's Joey badass?

So how do we actually come up with a name Hey Jonas, guys? I honestly don't remember. I think it was on a,

call about what we should call it. We were thinking I'm originally calling it one of the early names of our band before Jonas Brothers. This is how you guys remember it going down? Yes. I have a very different memory of this. We were talking about a thing, a bit for the podcast

where people could call in and say, hey Jonas. And then I wrote down on my little notepad, Hey Jonas, and offered it up as a potential title for the podcast. But thanks for remembering that, guys.

toughest tests in tennis. And I know firsthand because I competed there myself. I'm Renee Stubbs, and on the Renee Stubbs Tennis podcast, I'm breaking down everything happening at Roland Garris. Every match, every upset, and what it really takes to win on Clay. Jenchian went. I mean, she went down in three to Rabakina, but I'm delighted. She's an outsider to win the French for me.

Consider this your court side seat to the French Open.

Listen to the Renee Stubbs tennis podcast on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Presented by Capital One, founding partner of IHeart Women's Sports. KRS 1. See, when you was talking all that shit earlier, all I could think of was KLR1. He said, Kings Luce, Crowns, Teachers stay intelligent. And everything you were saying, I heard it in my head

in the KRS one verse back in the day. And KERS, he attacked the juice crew. At this time, the juice crew was like, Sizzler, Buzia Bontan, everybody together.

These guys are like the Avengers. Like they just, and they had the monopoly because their DJ ran the radio, Molly Maher. If it wasn't coming through them, you was not hearing it on the radio. So they had that shit like, bless and peace, Tulak, Fly Thai Williams. So Keras 1 gets into a beef with them.

Me who's in a Bronx fan, I'm the biggest Keros 1 fan. I said, there's no way he could win. Like, I'm like, there's just no way he can win. And I never forget, it's winter. And this is the first time I heard. Bradgate music. It's winter and DJ Red Alert says

brand new KLRS1 the response to the juice crew and that shit came on and that shit said boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom

when I tell you he went like this like the whole the hip hop game never even the way he came that bitch is over the bridge is over

pretty about five The bitch, it's over. Hey, hey, I start running around my projects. It was like below zero. Oh, y'all! Yes, we won! I'm running around the whole projects. And so, Karras I introduced a lot of us into the reggae game at that time.

Like, it was like, first time we really heard that like that. And, but, you know, he was Jamaica, so he knew DJ. That was, wow. 80-something. 85. You're the irony. In 1985, 86, we in Jamaica was just that getting to be bop. Great dance was a thing in Jamaica in those days where, yeah, we used to have feds.

Like schools used to keep events, they call them fake. And various high schools used to keep them guys used to farm a circle. I'd go breakdance. Wow. We used to have this. there was just particular mixed tape sleek Rick

Daug de first To Tash Tadda Dampan Dap Dada da Daddy Raleigh

produced Six minutes Six minutes Six minutes Daud you for a Yeah Meshel

My life So we broke Just locking in In those days Two 9 8, 5, 9, so just

start locking in So It's so funny you should say that. So it's proved to me that at the same time, in two different locals, the same thing was happening. Same thing. Same thing. Same thing.

Same thing was happening. Because I can also recall in 1985 he was watching a music video when, it was Major Macrile, Chabarangs. They were in Bilgmore Bar Room. Bill Gellon. There was this Major Macri that, Dan Man. Major Macri. Me, me, me.

Nah, man, Gian. Yeah, so it's just important time to know that, yeah. You know, shout out Jamalski. He was Jamaica to a MC out here. He was fucking shit up for the Jamaicans. Jamalski was a legend out here. He was around that time of KRS 1, he was killing the fucking place.

Rapping, with all the rappers, but in Jamaica, Jamalski. Lightskin, brother. Oh, but. Yeah, that time, let's talk about one person. Because it's very hard for us to have a legend like... No, I don't know. We have Mad Lion fucking destroyed the game out here. Mad Lion.

I'm going to take it easy. I'm in this video. What? You gotta take it easy. What? He was now Chris, right? Too many suckers and not enough time. We're fucking that shit.

Mad Lion? Mad Lion? Do you know Mad Lion? Do you know Mad Lion? I know Mad Lion. Okay. Matt Lion. I thought it was a Brooklyn imposter.

Yeah. What's his name? Also. But I want to say one thing, because we never hear about this. Right. And it's similar in Reg Aitone, but I got one thing to say. Ladies Saw, she ran the females forever. Tell me about Ladies' Saw.

Tell me about her contributions to the game. I felt like there would never be another. female to touch the mic in reggae music. Momasa is a legend in our own right, and we've got her sister Marianne Hall number because of respect. Because the older would get for two people according to what they chose. So Sister Marion Hall, she played a pivotal role. You know what I mean?

Coming up in the industry, which was a male-damning into the industry. We only had like 10 females, Lady Jean, Lady Anne, Lady P Sister Nancy You know Sister Nancy And then you have junior ranks

Lady Junie Yeah You have Shelly Tonda Shelly Tanda You have Mumaliza But mumma Liza was

From a time An era When she and Cojack used to do That Cojack and Mumalizer So from that time To the time When the ladies

Them become more assertive There was a taser Between Lady G Because Lady G was a top-d-ed-G Lady G used to be with Papa's son and she was one of the baddest at the time. So after Lady G, you call Mumma Sah,

seeing Marianne. And she put her, to bring it in a different level. Oof, she brings it in a total different level. She opened the Pandora's box and she never looked back. And, you know what I mean? Her thing's solid and in the Nyeblanc she gave her life to her to the church and to the true and living God. So we can't respect her and thank her for her contribution as well.

We got one, the EV Queen. The Evie Queen ran the whole reggae tone forever like Lady Saw. And then finally now you got, you know, the Carol G's and all those girls that's rocking now. So now you got a whole new resurgence of the females. There's a new resurgence of female in Jamaica from the era of Spice them to Shincere's. Shinsia, yeah. A whole new era. And this is what the music is, he always needs new life to keep feeling.

but you ought to always bring a piece of what mixed the music with you. That's what you need to say. Tell you. You know, shout out to Rihanna. Rihanna, not from Jamaica, but she had that sound. I remember what this shit. What was that shit? She had, I had to kill him.

What was that record that Rihanna record? Rump, pump, pampa, pump, pump. I might have listened to that shit 10 million times, When that shit came out, I'm blasting that shit in the car. But I had to kill a man down. Rump-pump-pump, rum-pump-pum, rom-pump-pump, rompump, rompump, pump, pump,pum. So, the music grows, Joey.

And as you and I both know, it's not been easy for music from the Caribbean, especially Jamaica Dance Sound music. Now, within the last four, five, six years, we must give thanks because doors has been opened and has been closed in our face, perpetually. Yes. With that being said, now you hear music like from Dan Sal and at 97. having WBLS and viewers at a section.

But let's speak the truth, they were also forced to because music is everywhere now on your phone. Yeah. Everyone playing on TikTok. Whatever you want. Everywhere in there. You know, gone on the days. I've having a real gig.

My daughter's 19. She starts singing songs that came out in the 80s in the 90s. I'm like, yo, what's up? She's like, yo, that's the number one on TikTok now, dad. I'm like, what? She'd be like, yeah, that's the number one. Like, that's how the kids are learning. So no one's the only.

Y'all cares. I like that one. I like that. But you ain't lying. Now they don't understand that. Before we used to, look, he said he had to wait to hear run DMC and tape it at three in the morning.

Back in the day, we had no, it wasn't like now you could just pick whatever music you want on your phone. In a row at 97 and no cold. Everybody got to be like this standing close. Yeah, that's right. Waiting on your segment to go upstairs. Yeah.

So everybody. You know, we had a shout out because he reached out to me. I got to talk to him. Stretch Armstrong and Barbito. They had an underground station out here where you went there and Jay Z was waiting online. And Nas was waiting online and Biggie Smalls is waiting online. In fact, Joe's waiting online.

the big puns waiting on that. Yeah. The biggest guys you ever seen in your life waiting online to get up on there to bust a rhyme at 3, 4 in the morning. These kids now, the type of access they got now, they don't even realize.

Like, the things you fought for has been thinking for granted. Wow. I said, another joke. Yes. All the things we fought for. Yes. Yeah, everything we fought for right now

Man, I haven't been in Jamaica. How's the progress? The hurricane. The hurricane has done a number on the island, but my people are strong, my people are resilient, and we have to face a lot of stuff through our time on that island,

and we managed to bounce back, and this shall be no different. We shall bounce back stronger, better, and bigger. I see no kind of AI. shit with sharks in the street. That was all AI, right? Absolutely.

Sharks in the street, the motherfucker. I said, God damn, this shit going down in Jamaica. Look at this shark pun, Irene, the motherfuckers swimming in the pool. I'm like, yo, this AI shit. Yeah, AI is crazy. Disney land is an illusion.

You told me 20 years ago, Disneyland is an illusion. Joey. It's not a coincidence because now the lines are blurred and you don't know if it's read or if it's fair. Yeah, I don't know. So AI, I've entered a conversation

to create doubts. So even if it's real, there's going to be doubt circulating. It might be AI. You understand? So what is real and what is fake? No, it's very questioned. Wow.

Another joke. All the way up. That statement you just said is all the way to the top. We don't know what the fuck going on. Like, I don't know what's real. What's fake? What's happening?

What's, like, this shit is crazy. This is what I was talking about earlier. And you think I'm fucking playing. Yo, I'm looking at the phone. I don't know what's real. What's fake. Everything is blurred lines. You're right.

It's in here. It's not in here. So he's saying right now, if Jada kid's top, dead or alive. You dick, you pussy, your cousins, we would be questioning that worldwide have you even said that shit at versus.

Because right now they got AI. Not like you that bought a ticket. It was in that building. It can't be AI. You're sorry with you. But you want to hear the huge difference now. Back in the time when someone came to see Jada, I see Joey, they were deal with us in

Some people who's still trying to be in the mix It's like, yo Joe, you going to that old school shit I'm like, yo bro, this is the music I grew up on This is the music I love

Not respect, brother. And I'm so proud of you. Proud to see you about something great. I mean, I only hope that for the culture, the brothers in the culture, know how important this is. Not only to have a voice, but to have a voice that we control the narrative,

I have a voice that we can really actually sit among our peers. Instead of people trying to pry and to, our life we do from anywhere and a hole in the world or the city of being so uncomfortable because it's like interviewing like to be taken all the bullshit yeah like interrogation man man man there's a reason now we can talk about past experience and we just chill so this is important for the culture to have legends like the eye because remember once upon a time we look at those who are ahead of us as elders how fucked up it is that no we are the elders because we have to make sure that the accessibility stays in the community

and access stays in the community for our community. Because once you're going to line up to have things like this done, now I come sit amongst the underculture with people who are in the same industry I am and we can talk, we can relate, because I'm not saying something that's far-fetched. And I'm saying that you can relate on your same thing I can identify because we're still industry and you're not sitting there trying to hurt me. And I hate being an asshole to make you look stupid. But to further what we're both doing.

So this are a win-win situation and the fans to the Yit and the camaraderie. You want to have wrong? Fuck, I want to throw the whole shit, the pillow. That was real. I hope I was fucking listening to that. I hope you heard everything. Rappers call us out. Thank you very much.

You invite me. My brother, I appreciate you, Budi. rappers call us up with this concert. The rappers call us up. Guys that we know, we're friends. They got beef with other rappers. You all want to sit on the couch. I want to shit on. We don't do that here.

This ain't the house. This is the house of love of culture. I've spread it. They want to come in here, talk shit about the other rapper. This is not what we do here. There's an opportunity to create what we grew up. And he went from a BET perspective where culture is always young people express, sell the product,

time to the fans, direct. Create a direct communication with the fans. We don't need to muddy the water. That's it clean. That's it. Butterflies, 417. You want to know what's crazy? Or 416 and 12 minutes.

Remember. Hold up. But let me tell you something. Rapists who call us for the controversy, you know, we know them, brothers. They call Jada because they call me, yo, I want to sit on the couch

and want to shit on this guy. I want to say my story at this. And we say, yo, we're not with that. I see them go and do their interview with the same people who gate keep the industry and been spreading all that bullshit forever

and they sit down with them and I look and I said, look at this shit. They found their way to these motherfuckers who were getting us to kill each other forever and they sit down right back at that couch when the guys like us say, nah, we're not doing that. We stay in positive.

They go right back to the guys who started all the shit. But it's okay. Let's say that. No. This ain't that. That ain't this. It's cracking kiss.

Make some noise. No respect. No respect. No respect. No respect. God again. All right. Put your bon die.
