Starting point is 00:00:00 Hey guys, it's us The Jonas Brothers. I'm Joe. I'm Kevin. And I'm Nick. And guess what? We created our own podcast called, Hey Jonas. We invented a podcast? Well, we didn't invent it.

Starting point is 00:02:07 Presented by Capital One, founding partner of IHart Women's Sports. He is TS, by the way. He's protected by the almighty. I'm gonna be honest with you. See, where he came? Why you want me to do? He never made it to DS without two hours. Thank you.
Starting point is 00:02:38 Yo, what up, y'all? It's your boys. You, Crack the Dawn. It's your boy Jada. You know what it is the Joe and Jada show. Every show legendary, every show iconic. And we never not deliver. Speaking of delivery, our next guest, I knew him for years.
Starting point is 00:02:57 Since he living in Miami now, I knew him since he was a jit. How they say, down there? You know what I mean? I watched him. You know what I mean? He was part of my family. He's still part of my family. Then he grew on and do his own things.
Starting point is 00:03:11 Every since then, he's just been collecting plaques, collecting diamonds, buying property, buying Rose Royces. Ladies and gentlemen, give it off of my mid hit makers. Yes, sir. Somebody I could say in this industry of fakers and vultures and pieces of shits, one guy I could say who's really loyal. Don't get mistaken by him. You know, every interview, he bound to say some shit today. Right? Every interview he goes crazy.
Starting point is 00:03:46 You might think he just talks shit, but this man is a loyal guy, the one and only hit making. Yes, sir. Yo, hit, let me tell you something. You know when I'm sitting in, I'm looking at all of them diamonds and shit? No.
Starting point is 00:04:03 I never told you, but I'll be watching you because, you know, I got serious collections, and I see you, man. If I got to watch, nobody could get that costs a house in Atlanta. he pull up a month later and be like, yo, a new one. Every shit, every watch, he'll bust that bitch. I'll be like, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:04:23 I've taken it as flattery, but I'm also happy that I see my brother come up and do what he like to do. The problem I got with hitmaker. Oh, shit. It's not really a problem. I'm on your side. You got your flag already?
Starting point is 00:04:38 I'm on your side. Get ready. But in this game, it ain't no cheating in the game. Yeah. And some artists think they could cheat the game. You got to go in that studio. You got to let your life out. You got to put in that pain, that passion.
Starting point is 00:04:55 You don't know how many artists some of y'all call hit maker for me. You're going to give me a hit. Like, you come across that, right? Everybody who sit down think you're giving them a free hit, right? Sure, for sure. I mean, ain't nothing to free, my brother. Only for y'all. You know what I mean is,
Starting point is 00:05:13 they don't want to put in that pain, stay in that studio night and day, don't change your clothes, this, this, this. That's how I'm accustomed to making hits. For sure. You locked itself in six months and you're in there every day and you don't come out and you don't give a fuck. The most you do is watch a game, you come out with some hits. I've heard more than 20 different artists that I respect
Starting point is 00:05:36 and I know tell me, y'all, I'm just go see hit making get a hit. They think it's like that. It is like that. though. I'm the walking, talking chico. Like, I go to the studio. I give BB hell at Circle House six days a week. I go there and work until I can't work no more, so I'm ready to drive home. And then
Starting point is 00:05:55 the reality is, when you come see me, you come get a hit. I don't play beats. I'm playing you a smash. You fill in the blanks. You go do what you need to do. It's the al-a-up of all ali-oops when you come see me. So that's why people be like, I've heard executives say, like, man, like, you ain't no A&R, you just sent your artist to hitmaker.
Starting point is 00:06:15 He did all the A&R shit for you. He got the feature on the song. He got the hook. He got this shit already done. Like, what did you do? But I mean, that's why they pay me like 50 grand a record. Man, let me tell you something. Man, now watch it.
Starting point is 00:06:26 You come up and, man, it's a beautiful thing to see. How many records sold now? 350-something million. Hmm. I got. 18 number ones at radio. 27 billion streams, something like that, I don't know. The only guy I've seen with numbers like that is Jermaine DePree.
Starting point is 00:06:50 One of my idols. I love them. Who are your idols in doing this? Man, JD, as far as producers, only JD, Kanye, of course, because I'm from Chicago. No ID. Damn, I guess Timber and Farrell, round that out, top five. I never work with Farrell yet. That's going to be interesting.
Starting point is 00:07:10 We finally have a. No, that's going to be interesting. He made happy in one of the rooms in Circle House that I work in all the time. I'm like, yo, I'm still trying to get that happy. You know what I'm saying, energy, boy. Yo, that was a different type of record. I'm going to tell you some crazy shit, right? This is crazy because I love both of them and they both beyond historical producers because we're talking producers.
Starting point is 00:07:33 You know, I was there when Timberland went cold. And Scott Storch was right next door, had cheese lines down the park. Block. Hello, Cool, Jay. This one and that one. Whoever was hot was online. Scott Storch, and Timbo was sitting in the front of the studio and look at all the rappers act like
Starting point is 00:07:53 he wasn't Timbo the king. I watched the same thing happened to Farrell in Miami when he got cold. I used to go there. He used to be like, yo, Joe, come tell me story. He has all these stories that I tell on here ahead of time. He knew I was the story king. Yo, tell me his stories.
Starting point is 00:08:10 I'm sitting with them when they're cold. Now this guy's running fucking Louis Vuitton, biggest guy, happy this, this, that. But I remember Timbo. He wasn't mad at Scott Storch. He'd just be like, don't worry. I'm coming with some shit. I'm coming.
Starting point is 00:08:27 And then that boy cracked that cord. I'm bringing sexy back. Yeah? Yo! He got, I'm not your mommy, mommy. You find me, boy. Him and that Danger Hand. Yes, sir.
Starting point is 00:08:44 Salute you. Change the whole fucking sound. And I'm guilty because, you know, I've been around a long time. Danger Hands came one time at DJ Callis Studio in the house and played me some beats. They were too futuristic for me at the time. And I was just like, you know, and boy, he turned into Danger Hands. Yo. I got, you.
Starting point is 00:09:05 Can I tell you a story? Yes, sir. I think that one New Year's Eve, I think. at that we did that record. I think that you, because you know I'm T.S. To the death for me. You know what I'm saying?
Starting point is 00:09:16 I'm mad I ain't got my T.S. Shane here, too. I should have brought it. But I think, yo, this man, Joe did some shit that was so insane. It was me. It was at DJ Callet's New Year's Eve, but on party. You invited me.
Starting point is 00:09:31 I came with you. It was me, you, Diddy, and Calit. And this nigga Joe was like, there's Diddy. There's DJ Callet. and now it's hit maker. And if you said that shit, I'm like, damn, that was just like one of the biggest compliments ever.
Starting point is 00:09:47 I think you started beef with me and Calais right then there at his house, too. Well, he don't have no beef with you. He can't. But what I'm saying to you is you cut from the family tree when it comes to producing and making hits. So I've been a guy that whether I make a dollar with you or not. I'm true to the culture. So if I said that, I meant that, you know,
Starting point is 00:10:10 and I'm just letting them know, like, yo, he's coming from that family tree of hitmakers, you know, and, you know, respect the kid coming up. Be on the lookout for him. And that's what I probably did. But beef with Calais, he has no beef with you. No, no, I'm talking about competitive. They're competitive. You know what I'm saying? Oh, no, everybody's competitive in this game.
Starting point is 00:10:32 Everybody think the best. We just had while they right there. You didn't hear him, but he said he's the best. Very quietly. He was like, you're on the best. He said he's in the top rapper talk. That's what he said. Of all the time?
Starting point is 00:10:44 No. Yes. He just said, I'm in top rap. He was playing some new music, and he said, I'm in that top rapper talk. He should feel like that playing this new project. That's why I didn't, and I heard it. Just let it. You ain't feel no way when he said it?
Starting point is 00:11:00 Because it's top five that are a lot. I don't. No, no, he. My shit is in Grandfather. His shit is in cement. My shit's insinement. Shut up my man. Shout out my man Stevie Jackson, man.
Starting point is 00:11:12 I seen him take a picture. They had a fucking George Floyd statue. George Floyd's bigger than the building. Steve, you know, he's NBA. He looked like a midget. Damn. I mean, and that was his brother. This guy's statued up.
Starting point is 00:11:26 Like, we, he don't take none of the guys that got a person. They're actually going to make them taller in the statue. You know, we're not worried about that. But the man did mumble that shit under his breath. It was not. It's a type of rapper talk. He's supposed to feel. That's what she's supposed to do.
Starting point is 00:11:42 I guess we all feel that way. If you don't, you and the, you know, you should see it. I don't think nobody's fucking with me. And, like, I can prove it. I love talking that shit. Nobody's fucking with me. Nobody has more hits in their phone than me right now. There's not a producer walking this planet earth right now.
Starting point is 00:11:59 Of course, bro. No, listen. Who you want? Leon Thomas? Who do you want on the hook? I mean, it's here. It's done. It's in my phone right now.
Starting point is 00:12:09 Adverse. See what I'm saying? See the producers, y'all get a lot of, y'all, y'all dealing with different finances. So y'all don't, y'all competitive nature stays just that. Y'all see each other buying helicopters and doing, you know what I mean? But coming from the rapist shit is a different thing. But your formula, though, over the past fucking, I don't know how much he is. About 10.
Starting point is 00:12:37 10 years. Yeah, you've been hitting. amount of park consecutively. And I don't know how that's making people fit. It should make anybody feel good because it used to be a lot of doors to go to when you're making a project. You can be like, oh, the window is closing. Man, they got to feel good about this shit because in reality, bro, like, I'm still,
Starting point is 00:13:01 I'm iceberg. I'm youngberg. It's just I'm hitmaking now, bro. Like, people don't know the long form of my career. Like, they got to see it in real time. I'm literally, like, people would be like, I was the nigger that DMX used to go sick on niggas. Like, yo, go get them. I remember rapping with Cassidy and being at Powerhouse while you cutting records and being around P.K. and Swiss beats.
Starting point is 00:13:22 Like, I got that type of career. And then I became Youngberg on my own thing. Now I'm just like a heavy stepper as hitmaker. Like, I ain't going to lie. Like, it's hit like astronomical type of different things, you know what I'm saying? I watch you on interviews and you talk about chicks you smashed, this, this. Yo, you really are transparent out here. I don't lie.
Starting point is 00:13:43 I can't lie. You speak very clear. And it's on the internet that I smash these girls. So when I'm supposed to be in it, if Cam Newton asked me some bullshit, and he set me up with that. And y'all know that interview was done eight months ago. Somebody just recycled that clip and made that shit go viral again. But they set me up with that. Like, we did the whole interview.
Starting point is 00:14:01 And then at the end, he like, we want to play a game show. And it was almost like, who have you fucked? Like the game show, it should have been the title of it. And he just rapid fire names, names, names. If y'all look at the clip, I was kind of uncomfortable when he was asking me, but I'm just like, I just met you an hour ago, Cam, why you need to know all my bodies. Yeah, man, that man, can't. He wanted them traitors. Like, he's one of those chicks, too.
Starting point is 00:14:26 So I don't mean in that way. I mean, like, he one of them guys he feel he hid mad chicks. So he was trying to make sure I ain't hit none of his work. That's really what it was. That's exactly what it was. You can save that for off camera, though. You're not a hat. You're going to save that off camera, right?
Starting point is 00:14:45 Yeah, you'd rather than max you not off the kids. Yeah, I ain't know where it was going to. Because I'm going to be honest, yo. It did feel lame. Like, I'm not a kiss and tail type dude. Yeah, shit. I mean, it's fucked up. Like, that's what the people want.
Starting point is 00:14:57 Like, they want to know all your business. They want to know what you ate for breakfast this morning. They want to know how many Diet Coke you didn't have. And it's a 2.30. They want to know everything, bro. Yeah, they do. And we hope they're happy for us. You know what I'm saying?
Starting point is 00:15:10 Because we out here, what people don't realize is that our jobs is a service. Service to people. To the people. We're making the people happy. You went out to Virginia. You body that shit. But you know how many people in the crowd? You're their favorite rapper.
Starting point is 00:15:25 You made them happy. They went home happy. You provide music to this, yo, that's my song. You know, and we're just providing the service. I always say the people don't like you. there's you. You cut so many records with so many singers with so many reference artists
Starting point is 00:15:46 that never made it as big as they should because they're talented, but what they don't realize is the people got to like you. And that's the crazy part of it. You know what I mean? But we hope everybody's happy for us because we share our lives with them.

Starting point is 00:27:09 Every match, every upset, and what it really takes to win on Clay. Jenchian win. I mean, she went down at three to Rabakina, but I'm delighted. She's an outsider to win the French for me. And she likes Clay. Listen, Lina Rabakina is arguably the best player in the world right now, and I actually can win on any surface, because if she's serving, well, good luck. Consider this your court side seat to the French Open.
Starting point is 00:27:34 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. Let me tell y'all a crazy story, joke crack story, right? Of course, crazy? No, no, no, no. Never, never. So I remember I was like in a weird spot in my career, like, trying to figure out how I'm feeling like, because the whole time when I was Youngberg,
Starting point is 00:28:01 I was producing all my records, too. Like, people don't know that. But I was like, man, I was in a weird spot. Rico Love was on Fuego at the time. And so Rico Love, I hit him on Twitter and a DM. And he like, yo, come meet me at the London Hotel in L.A. I'm in L.A. I went up to the London Hotel.
Starting point is 00:28:21 And we having breakfast. And like, he on big boy shit. Three phones going, jumping at the same time. Remind me of me right now. I'm like, God. like this nigga's insane. So as we eating breakfast, I thought this was like a super like,
Starting point is 00:28:36 wow move, not like that, but he was like, yo, what do you think about changing your name? And I'm like, huh? I'm like, nigga, I'm a young, bro. I'm more famous than Rico Love. Like, you know what I'm saying? Like he said that to me and I was just like,
Starting point is 00:28:49 maybe I'll consider that. He like, yo, come to Miami and he works out the room. I work out of now in Circle House. He's like, yo, come to Miami. Just vibe with me for a little bit. I came down there. So I walk in a Circle House, and I think Joe and Rico are doing a record called Aloha,
Starting point is 00:29:02 some shit like that or whatever. The nigger Rico Love said, Fat Joe, he said, Joe, meet my friend Christian. Joe said, Nick that's Youngberg. Who the fuck is Christian? I'm like, yo, but like that was the evolving. And Rico Love was actually the person who made me change my name of hitmaker.
Starting point is 00:29:20 That's it. Wow, that's ill. You know, Rico's my brother. Mm-hmm. Still love him to this day. He was a little arrogant at that time. He was? Yeah, yeah, he was like cocky.
Starting point is 00:29:31 Like, you know, I walk out the room with artists and they be like, yo, this thing is cocky. Like, yo, but he's going to give you the hit. You know, my shit, it reminds me of what Rico love, my brother, I love you, man. God bless. It reminds me in the night we cut, yes. We had the song, but you just,
Starting point is 00:29:48 you came in the studio. This guy was so drunk, bro. Listen to me, man. And he made it in it, The way he was chopping it up, this, this, this. So everybody came out. I was like, yo, Joe, the guy spilling champagne on the board. The boards cost a half a million.
Starting point is 00:30:06 Yes, sir. He's spilling champagne. He out of control. This, this. I see, yo, listen. He's a hit maker. Let this man do what he did. The motherfucker you, that night you was on your Rick James shit.
Starting point is 00:30:19 Yeah. For real. And I was just like telling everybody, yo, just let him do what he got to do. Sure enough, that was the last hit I dropped. Yes, we got to. a plaque for that shit. And it was Cool and Dre Studio and you are loyal to Cool and Dre. So the fact that you even let me touch the record while we was there was like a real thing.
Starting point is 00:30:38 And I was wild and Cool and Dre Studio to play with them heavy. I'm not going to lie to you. You're one guy that didn't grow up with us. That he is T.S. by the way. He's protected by the almighty. I'm going to be honest with you. He went. Why you want me to do?
Starting point is 00:30:55 He was never made it to DS. T.S. without two hours. Ooh. Thank you. Okay. What I'm saying is T.S. T.S. know how to hate on each other. They
Starting point is 00:31:09 never hate on this guy. Every time I'm working on a project, he's at, yo, Jerry, I'd be like, yo, you saw a hit maker. I swear to God. Now, there's other producers that I'm cool with and all that. They'd be like, yo, Joe, we do that. Yo, Joey, this, this.
Starting point is 00:31:23 They never devalue. Mm-hmm. They always like, Go see that guy. I think he started off getting to hate. I think right now it's undeniable. They can't do that. He stands in, you know, when you come from seeing him,
Starting point is 00:31:40 the next stop is the charge. You got to spit the right shit to it and you got to do everything. Oh, no, yeah. You can't just go there and not know how to do nothing in asking for it. You just go have a knocking beat with a great hook with nothing. No one. He said me, yo. All I got to do is go see hitman
Starting point is 00:31:59 I say I swear to God I've heard this out the mouth y'all going to see hitmaker like man you better put that pain in you better make sure that pen is right you better make sure
Starting point is 00:32:11 you appreciate what you got you know somebody I've seen you work with who I love and I've watched her career from day one she from the bronze too I think she could be a superstar's dream dog wow shout out the dream She could be a superstar.
Starting point is 00:32:28 I've been waiting for it. Well, I signed Dream Dog, cats out of the bag or whatever. Yeah? Yeah. We got a new project that's done. It's completed. We're dropping an EP first.
Starting point is 00:32:39 So we dropping an EP first, top of the year. And when I tell you, my brother, she's better than a lot of these girls. Like this music that we have, oh, my God. And she has crazy features. The work is done. Projects done. And I brought back the nostalgia.
Starting point is 00:32:56 Like for the EP, we got some shit. Like, I put Clue all over it. Kulminati! Like, it's like on some real New York shit. I flipped all the right New York records. Trust me, my brother, she's out of him. She's gone. That's what she needed them. Because I watched the career, I didn't
Starting point is 00:33:12 even understand it. Like, I watched her career the whole time. I'm saying, yo, this girl should be number one. And it's all a matter of linking up with the right producer who got the passion at the right time. I've seen it in your studio. I was like, all right, he's giving of some shit, now she got to deliver.
Starting point is 00:33:27 That's it. You say she delivered. She overly delivered. I ain't a producer no more. I'm a professional life changer. And that's really what I'm not going by. There's too many producers out there. So when you come to see me...
Starting point is 00:33:38 You're going to own me a gift to know, brother, I want me to say this? You know when the dog comes off of you? No, we're making it sound like you get... Nigger, like I need to be seeing what's in the pot over there because the man talking to you. You know what's beautiful?
Starting point is 00:33:52 It's only a ox quarter way. It's all my friends. I like this. Mm-hmm. Tell them all. I love it. I got the gifts, man. You're your iced out Diet Pepsi.
Starting point is 00:34:02 Yo. You, O-Zimpic a Diet Pepsi this shit for Halloween? OZempic. I'm Ozempic every Halloween. I'm Ozempic. I might go with Govi. You know what? I got a problem.
Starting point is 00:34:14 I'm going to talk about this because we're talking about the world. It's nuts, though. They announced, right? I'm in L.A. They announced that Costco, listen clear, guys, because we are the voice. of the streets and the culture. Costco now sells OZemPEC
Starting point is 00:34:31 half the price to anybody who don't have insurance. Oh, wow. Over the counter? It's not true. I went to the Costco in L.A. to buy some OZMPIC because I left my shit back in, in Jersey. And they said, that's few places out the curtain.
Starting point is 00:34:50 This is some bullshit. It was all over CNN, all over the news, all over Costco. selling Osempic, half price, over-the-counter, you don't even need insurance. I walked into Costco. L.A., y'all saw me. They didn't have it.
Starting point is 00:35:07 They didn't, they was like, no, you need a prescription. No, we don't do that in this Costco. That's false advertisement, guys. Get on your shit. That was your sound like you. Get some. No, I had to come back home and freshen up. Yo, he said he ain't wanted to step up.
Starting point is 00:35:26 on Ozmpic. He ain't want the my fucking shit. You want the three fat joes or you want the one fat joe. Another thing I do as soon as I go out the country because over here, Ozempic, costs 1,200. Whoa. Right? With insurance and everything. When I go to Dubai, Santa Domingo, wherever, it costs $320. That's the wildest shit.
Starting point is 00:35:51 How could an American product cost $1.30? You could buy this. The mingo and all in them? Yeah, B, I buy it. You ship it back on. Five, ten thousand dollars worth for O Zimpic. I'm not selling it, guys. It's for me.
Starting point is 00:36:04 And whoever needs it? Somebody ran out of OZempic. They come to my house. We taught some of a monster fly. Yo, bro. I'm surprised the OZimpic. I keep everybody sturdy. The OZimpic should stop the glitties, though.
Starting point is 00:36:20 Brigh it bro. How are you still got the craving for glit? And you're on a Zimpy. What I'm trying to tell you. They got to make... Levels little shit. Okay. There's levels to it, man.
Starting point is 00:36:35 I got it. It's levels to it. But what I'm saying is, you know, you got... I am O Zempic for Halloween. Once again. You know, that's my outfit. What does it do, though? It just make you not want to eat as much?
Starting point is 00:36:48 First of all, I have diabetes. Okay. But I've had it since up 12 years old. Okay. Right? So now, I've been taking insulin for many, many years. Insulin, you know, you take it daily and, you know, your pancreas, if we want to get technical,
Starting point is 00:37:04 don't let out enough to cover your sugar. So you need insulin to make sure, you know, but they invented an old zimping that does it once a week. You don't have to take that shit. That was pretty horrible. Taking insulin twice a day, right? And that's the only way to regulate the sugar. Otherwise, you die. So a lot of people that we see that just die,
Starting point is 00:37:26 they don't admit to themselves that they're diabetic and they don't take the medicine. As sooner or later, that shit gets real and they find no kind of kidney failure distances, whatever. OZempic regulates that shit like a computer all week long. So if you eat too much, it'll bring down to the normal sugar. If you eat too less, it'll bring it to the normal sugar. It's insane.
Starting point is 00:37:46 Oh, shit. The technology in OZempic, I'm not going to lie to you, is AI-type shit. It's insane. We've been waiting for that. And so it's also the side effect of Ozimic is you lose weight. I don't think they made it. They made it for diabetes.
Starting point is 00:38:05 But it curbs your appetite to where you lose weight. So a lot of people started taking it for diabetes. And then, you know, you got the sexy women want to stay sexy. They like, what. What. They hit their shit. This shit ain't even the need. It's the smaller shit.
Starting point is 00:38:25 And you could be scared of needles. And still, this shit is nothing. Boom, you good for the week. You don't know how many people, like I said, when they come to my house, they can get a bottle of Camus, Opus 1, or a month's supply of old Zemphick onside. Whatever y'all want to do. You know what I'm saying? They came to my house yesterday.
Starting point is 00:38:44 So you know my wife, her best friend, Mary J. Blime. Fair, course. Or Chrissy Jim Jones. All of them, they come. I call them the four muscatados. Yesterday I'm home all day They came in about 9.30. I thought they was about to start drinking,
Starting point is 00:38:58 turning up the music to 4 in the morning. I'm sitting there like that. They must have seen grumpy joe. It was like, all right. We're out of here. We're going to the next stop. I was like, this time I'm not telling stories. I'm sitting on the couch like,
Starting point is 00:39:13 I don't know if I want to do this tonight, four in the morning. My walls also. Shout out, Vitaly. My house is pretty spectacular, but the one complaint I would have, if I built my house from scratch, if I had to build another house,
Starting point is 00:39:30 I'd make... I didn't say nothing. I'll make the wall sticker. Like, you know, straight concrete where you can't hear shit in every room. Right. Sometimes they torture me. We got the super system around every room in the house,
Starting point is 00:39:47 and they start, I want to thank you. That shit about four in the morning. I'm sitting up there. like there. I got to take a flight six in the morning. I'm tired as fuck like this. It's just me and the dog. You know, the dog's the best friend.
Starting point is 00:40:00 A male's best friend. That's Bismarkey? That's a dog? Bismarck died. Damn. We got a dog called bear. Okay. Bearington.
Starting point is 00:40:08 You got this dog called Bismarcky? Yeah, Bismarkey. And so we got him for my daughter. You know what my dog Bismarkey? Because that's one of my favorite. Well, anyway, the way I got it was my daughter, I never forget. My daughter was like three years old. and I bought her the dog
Starting point is 00:40:23 and I said, baby, what's his name? And she said, you know like your friend, silly, Bismarkey. So she named the dog. As he named him Biz Marquis. And at that time, Bismarkey was popping on the cartoon network.
Starting point is 00:40:41 Yo Gabba Gabba. He was your gabba to her. She was like, like your friend, silly, Bismarkey. Shout out to Bismarkey, another super, producer. Biz, Mark, is a going off.
Starting point is 00:40:56 This was crazy out there. What's some new projects that you're working on? Whose life you're changing now? Everybody. Shit. On Friday, on Friday, Todd Ellisian's new album drop,
Starting point is 00:41:09 I got probably like four or five records on there. On Friday, my artist, Ronnie, who's sitting over there, his project comes out, it's called, Let Me Explain. He's amazing. This guy is like... One of the Spin Kings brothers.
Starting point is 00:41:20 He, yo, you do a little old. Yo, Joe, Skink. I ain't like the Spin King family, right? Yo. You look like them, right? He's from Long Island. I know Davey's talking crazy about Long Island. I don't know why.
Starting point is 00:41:32 We big them up here. But the guy's amazing. He's an incredible writer. Just someone that I linked up with and he's a credible artist. And man, we've been working together for a year. He's won a Grammy already. Professional Life Changer. Top 10 records.
Starting point is 00:41:47 He's on everybody. You know how long this nigga been making records? just a link with a nigger and you get a Grammy off of not even 12 months? That's crazy. You got to lock in. You know, I mean, Chris Brown, Todd Dollar Sign, all my people that I'm building up with, Tink, Ronnie, Toyin,
Starting point is 00:42:05 everybody that's in-house. And then as far as just like everybody that I'm working with, I mean, whoever got an album coming out, I'm on it for the rest of the year. I said a week ago, 50 songs was coming out before the end of the year. Seven came out. On Friday, 21 will come out. And then we'll press it again next Friday.
Starting point is 00:42:21 You know I need that pain. Damn. I got you. No, no, but I'm working a new album with no hits. Wait, what? With no hits. No comprimps. Just pain.
Starting point is 00:42:30 Just bars. Just, you got to give me that. Oh, I want you to hunt you back. I got it. Shit like that. You know what I'm saying? Just that straight. I just want to come.
Starting point is 00:42:39 I just need one hit and my son need one. I got the one with Leon Thomas where you already on deck. And then Jay Juan, you know, I told him to come Miami already. There ain't no more. I'm out of it. This show has become a solicit. This guy, he might as well be called Pistu B. Anybody come sit on that couch.
Starting point is 00:43:01 He's like, yo, you gave what a hit? This is Jay to Kiss. I'm using this job to do my other job. Most definitely. Me and Kiss had a hit with this record called Needs Your Best featuring Todd Dollar Sign 2, Def Jam, Dr. COVID. COVID.
Starting point is 00:43:17 I have the ball, COVID, fucked it up. I ain't worried because when I come, when I get next to you, this is my brother. Brain is, you're genius, you want to know what happened to me. You know, I was signed to a record label.
Starting point is 00:43:32 I put out a record than I thought, I didn't think. So, similar to you, I'm not a producer, but I make hits. Oh, we know. Monsters.
Starting point is 00:43:43 And so the way I was taught was like, yo, Joe, you're getting a one shot. If it ain't a hit, you ain't going to the next single, you ain't this, this, they kept the real with that. So I trained my ears to almost think like a program director that I knew this was going to play all day. Long story short, I did a song with young GZ. Slow down, son, you're killing him. With the sample.
Starting point is 00:44:05 Get here. Ha, ha. That was the shit. There's another way you know. Played it one time, everybody in a mother who had my number called me. A Mike Kaiser, this one. Welcome back. Joe, like they was giving me the, this was already a number one.
Starting point is 00:44:21 Like, they heard it one time on the radio. It was like, that's when they call you. Yeah, Joe, this is, they felt like it was a lean back. The shit ain't do shit, right? We shot the video haul, him, Diddy on the, he was on the hood of the fucking Rose Roy. We went crazy. And I say, you know what?
Starting point is 00:44:40 It's the last time I'm going to sit at a desk, looking at some so-called boss asking them, if they put, did you press the button? Did you put money? I knew they didn't put money behind that because that shit would have been out of here. That's when I took power into my own hand and said from now on I'm independent.
Starting point is 00:45:00 Yes. And I put up my own money and I pay for my videos. I pay for my radio. I pay for my samples. I pay for everything. And I win. I've never been off the green.
Starting point is 00:45:11 I never not won in my whole career. Now I got records on Atlantic records where I sold 2 million albums. You still old. Damn. I got albums I put out 100,000. Shout out the Gazi. You changed my life. Empire
Starting point is 00:45:28 Records. I got albums I put out sold 100,000 and I made 3, 4 million on that shit. So that is the one record that got me. I will never forget. I'm actually embarrassed to myself
Starting point is 00:45:43 for sitting on the other side of the desk begging these dudes, is they going to promote my record? Is they going to spend money? Damn well, they was. I invested in myself. I never took an out. Thank God.
Starting point is 00:45:56 Can I ask you a question? This is a money conversation because you've said independent, right? How much are you spending on these videos? Because you have the most extravagant videos. Yeah, bro, when y'all did Family Ties album, you know these niggas shut down, rest of peace, Erf Gotti, they shut down club live.
Starting point is 00:46:14 I'm like, how expensive is this? And it wasn't like early daytime. It was like nighttime. And they had the whole club live. This is for you. Okay, so you can hear me out. Because if you feel like you're in a situation with Def Jam that they don't really give a fuck about you or they got new people. Just saying, you are Jada kiss.
Starting point is 00:46:32 You are the brand. You are a hitmaker. I am fat Joe. James is a customer of hip hop. He does not look if I'm on Buzzbee Records, a Wantala Bella, LLC. he's buying the new Fad Joe album, right? This is where we got to get that fucked up. Right.
Starting point is 00:46:52 Like that, they think that it's a label that sold something? No. Now I understood that. And I said, I'm going to go independent. And one thing I really got to do is make sure that the Fad Joe image stays up. So I, you're correct. I spend $400,000 on video. She's shut down the live.
Starting point is 00:47:12 The ceiling come down. The fucking mansions. Is it just? just because you have to look like nothing changed. That was my whole philosophy. You know, niggas, they go independent. They start shooting in front of the bodega and the baseball park.
Starting point is 00:47:25 And it's over. This man went from a million dollar videos to crack-ed videos. They know something's wrong here. You got to act like the pure still there. The cut is there. I understood that. And I pray to God that I made the right choice
Starting point is 00:47:41 for investing in my career. You did. You know, and so that was the whole point for me. We're going independent, making sure, you know, I looked at a video the other day. I'd see. And shout out to Irv Gotti wrestling. Yeah, rest of things. Because, you know, he was such a genius at doing what you do.
Starting point is 00:47:58 He was a genius. One of my idols. And this guy, he was my go-to for the video. At Irving, nothing cheap was $300, $400,000. He'd be in the fucking, the day of the video, he'd be like, need another hundred, Joe. They're charging for this and this and that. Earth don't know cheap. And he think like everybody...
Starting point is 00:48:16 He was burning a budget. Well, it was me. There ain't nobody. It was no budget. It was one. So I got to pay this shit. Hey, it's us to Jonas Brothers. And guess what?
Starting point is 00:48:31 We have some big news. What's the news? Huge news. We created our own podcast called, Hey, Jonas. We invented a podcast? Well, we didn't invent it. We just contributed to it.
Starting point is 00:48:40 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 do we, how do we? 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.
Starting point is 00:49:04 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.

Starting point is 01:09:27 You was getting bags in all eras, though. That's what's so crazy. Like, the bag. He's seen all the different money changes. He's been around since the little head. I was getting, at my time, Flojo was number one in the country. I was getting $500 this show.
Starting point is 01:09:46 Crackhead money. So I would do yonkers, white planes, then some shit, Boston. Come back. Do Norfolk, Virginia, Fayetteville, North Carolina, D.C., come back. In one day, I'm picking up 15. Like, that's how ambitious I've been about this money
Starting point is 01:10:08 since I was a kid. You know, so, you know, it's not going to stick. This is what we do. That's amazing, bro. I'm addicted to the wind, man. Man. Well, for me, it's like, I'm just as ambitious, too, because, like, I'm delusional. Because I go to the studio with nothing every day, knowing that something's going to come from a vibe,
Starting point is 01:10:30 or energy or whatever I do. Like, people are creators, we're the most delusional people that. We're paying for the studio. We're paying for the engineer. We're paying when you go there with nothing. with the hopes that at the end of the night or the next day, you're going to wake up and play something that was worth your time. I think that we the most delusional people in the game.
Starting point is 01:10:49 But, like, we do it because we love it so much. You know what I'm saying? Like, we've seen it happen. Like, I went to a studio and I had nothing and woke up with a number one or woke up with some different shit. So that's why I'm always, like, how you're saying, like, ambitious and betting on yourself. Like, I'm always doing that shit 24-7, bro.
Starting point is 01:11:06 We got to do that. That's fine. And we also got to invest businesses. and be smart. Save your money, man. Yeah, whenever we ain't, you know, as hot or something or whatever the case may be, because, you know, somebody,
Starting point is 01:11:20 they always come out with a new TV. Like, I always tell everybody, the biggest shit, the biggest shit was to have a big TV. Remember the big TVs? Did you have one of them shits? The girl ain't want to leave your house. She wanted to stay.
Starting point is 01:11:34 She knew there was some type of money going on. I here, niggas got the big TV. Then one day they woke up and said, Flatscreen. One day it went from the phone to this. So all I'm saying is we smart enough to see so many people. Like I tell you, I went broke three, four times in my life, like dead broke. So we smart enough now to not go broke.
Starting point is 01:11:58 Invest in different businesses, invest in different things. But franchises, if you could do what Shaq did and all that, like just buy a bunch of franchises. My new thing is, and listen, guys, don't quote me literally. But my new thing is I want to buy my son of franchise. Like I want to be like something. So he won't keep asking me for money.

Starting point is 01:19:03 I want the fame and all that. But anytime I caught that super check, like that $10 million we're talking about, oh, you couldn't tell me. Shit. He probably saw me in clubs and all that and was like this, this nigga is on cloud 10,000 because I had the army.
Starting point is 01:19:21 You know what I'm saying? They just gave you the bread to make it complete. And so what's so crazy is, you know, I used to stick people up, two-term felon. Like, I did this. No, no, no. It's a difference between me.
Starting point is 01:19:38 I hear a lot of rappers, yo, I was homeless. Yo, I was this. I don't know about that, bro. I stuck up. Whoever you thought was the biggest, I lined them up. I hustled at this. I'm not the guy.
Starting point is 01:19:49 I'm going to get the bag. Right? So when they give you the check and the guy who gives you a $10 million check takes the train afterwards and said, bye fellas, gets on the train, and now you're like, yes, I got it.
Starting point is 01:20:08 I feel sorry for anybody who knew me because I always think that I'm humble. but I definitely was not humble at that time. I definitely probably was walking past people I knew my whole life like, fuck out, you smash them. Like, you know, I... No, no.
Starting point is 01:20:27 Yo, I'm telling you, I definitely was violating dudes on another, another, another level of excellent. You took a guy who was just a stone cold criminal, dangerous, dealt with violence this whole life, and gave him 10 million. I'm walking in the club, smacking the shit,
Starting point is 01:20:45 of Kingpins, guys that are really killing people in the book. Huh? Yo, this one's... The whole cheekbone. Get a fuck up. And the whole club is right. Like, yo, did he just do that to the guys who be pulling up in Lamborghinis and Ferraris? And I was overdoing it.
Starting point is 01:21:02 You gave the wrong person a bunch of money at the wrong time. Yo. When did you feel like that? Twice. The most recent one is probably when I sold my catalog or whatever, if we talk about... I sold a portion of my catalog. Catalysis. She's talker.
Starting point is 01:21:16 Yeah, half of it. Who you did the deal with? I was doing it with hypnosis. And then the people, well, Mike Caring came out of nowhere and was like, uh-uh, uh, you ain't read the fine print. Mike Caren been fucking with you since day one, huh? Yo, Mike Caren signed me for like $20,000 in 2014.
Starting point is 01:21:35 Like, 2014, he signed me for $20,000. Unbelievable. At that moment, I look back at it. I don't hold no resentment to it because it's like, I ain't had a hit stand. it might have looked like a gamble at that moment. But to where we at now, it's like, it's incredible. My camera never fuck with Joe Cratt.
Starting point is 01:21:53 Never? Ever. He came in Atlantic like after my run. This guy watched what he did for Flowrider. He helped a lot of people. For sure. Throw me a frisbee? Never.
Starting point is 01:22:04 He never throw me a fris. It's a lot of that. See, so with me, I try to tell everybody we did it all on our home. Not meaning by myself individually, but our team. You see, we want to make some money with products. We got Sorrisa Rum. We got Rewinded 10. Kiss Cafe because nobody.
Starting point is 01:22:23 When I say nobody comes to me with a bag or, yo, I got these people. I got this. You know, when I say it's sad, it's a 30-year run of nobody coming to me with some money or some bag. I had to make it all on my home. If I want some sneakers, I got to make up an up in my seat. If I wanted this, I tell you I had to invest in myself. This, like, nobody has come with the bag for years. Let me give you another one.
Starting point is 01:22:55 Maybe you haven't. I just want you to say true or not, right, true or false. At one time, not now, but at one time I felt like I was on such a run that some of these labels could have came and tap me on the shoulder and say, Joe, we want to make you president of A&R, president of the label. Because at this time, I couldn't miss with the hits. Nobody tapped me on the shoulder. Even here, they got conversations with Rock Nation, Salute, Des, and Jay.
Starting point is 01:23:28 And they said, you know how many times your name came up to be president of Rock Nation? Nobody called. I was waiting for the call. No, I'm telling you facts. I didn't say anything. I'm just looking at this. Funny, funny you say that.
Starting point is 01:23:45 So I'm actually going back into the building. I guess I could announce it here on Joe and Jada. I'm going back inside the building to be, to work for a building. Again, I took some time off because, of course, I did, I think I did four years at Atlantic, and then I did two years with Empire. But when I moved to Miami and I sold my catalog, I kind of wanted to just, like, enjoy myself a little bit. Still, stay working, but not be in a building because it was getting a little frustrating.
Starting point is 01:24:09 But it's because of, with Gazi and them being in a sense. San Francisco and then me moving to Miami, it was like a lot of disconnect or whatever. And I lived in San Francisco for a lot of the time during COVID up there with Gazi and them. So when I moved in Miami, it just kind of got a little weirded out. So like I step back, but now I'm going back inside the building. I won't say where. But I think it's necessary and needed like because everybody wants to complain about no artist development, no this, no that. It's just because they don't respect the niggas that they want to develop them. So when you get somebody like myself, And I'm encouraging every producer that's watching this shit right now, go inside the building, take that step and do what I'm about to do.
Starting point is 01:24:48 Because one, it's not about job security. Did I sign it yet? Yeah. Did you sign? Not yet. But I got multiple different offers, but I think I'm going to go with who I gave my word to. You know what I'm saying? You're all men in your word.
Starting point is 01:25:05 Yeah, for sure. Salute to that person and also salute to New York. L.A., Gilly and Wallow, whatever, I just got them a major label deal as well, too, for his daughter. His daughter, Gilly's daughter name is New York, L.A. She's an artist. I'm executive producing her album. She's the most incredible. Incredible. Incredible? Incredible. She's out of here.
