1:13
the way I know you guys could testify to that the fact that you're here now they still look at me like they seen a
1:19
ghost S ghost hey it'll never get old to it they won't it it won't you really
1:25

1:30
life it's wild guess who are the author of your of your dreams God there you go man come on
1:37
always like I'm always like yo is this a trick question like I never know because it's swe he does that to people because
1:43
the last time I was here he was like oh you know I'm saying Jen tell you what bit what building this is I was like oh man this is I know where this is going
1:49
but I don't know what he want me to say yeah ladies and gentlemen welcome
1:55
welcome them back they got one of the hottest albums out right now called West Indies and it's on such a high vibration
2:02
and have be these gentlemen were even generous enough to include me in on this album and I'm very proud to be a part of
2:09
it please welcome back to one and only miles minck and John Keith they are in the
2:15
building yes sir yes sir appreciate it appreciate it you know I I just like how
2:20
steadfast you guys are on your mission you know what I mean and the interesting
2:25
thing about the success that you're achieving you would think once you start a the success the the life gets hard
2:32
gets easier right and the path gets easier but with success comes distractions you know detours you know
2:40
naysayers people who want to walk you off your path have y'all experienced any of that as you see your star Rising
2:46
together for sure absolutely kind of on on both sides you know what I'm saying like you you know I've met I've I've
2:53
come across people was like oh man like like this is dope You're So Dope hey bro like you ever think about like not
3:00
doing you know I'm saying like a Jesus music I I don't know I feel like You' be better at and I'm like I'm like you know
3:06
I feel that and then I also I feel on the other side and I know he can relate too like you know people being like yo
3:11
you know what I'm saying like yo I really like what you do but I feel like you don't talk uh enough about enough
3:17
about Jesus you know what I'm saying like you sometimes you make a song about your wife and no don't nobody want to hear that and I'm
3:24
like real that sounds like Blasphemous yeah that's right Tracy G is in New York
3:29
by way that s God right okay that sounds Blasphemous Blasphemous
3:35
what you said Tracy yeah because I mean God also created marriage and
3:41
relationships of all forms and you can experience God through a union with your
3:47
partner you experience God through friendship you experience God through you know a loving relationship you could
3:52
even have with a pet so that's insane to me that people would limit the ways that you showcase um your experiences with
4:00
God yeah yeah they try to say you know oh either it's not Christian enough or
4:05
it's not mainstream enough right but we don't want to pay attention to any of that we just want to focus on becoming who God called us to be and operate in
4:12
the lane that he crafted out for us to operate inen you know what I'm saying making slaps with substance making slaps
4:18
with substance I love that sounds like a season there slaps with yo my always got the one liners man he he just hit me
4:25
what was the one you just gave me sway area come on man I like that
4:31
like that Miles I feel like you were the first person to hit the rolling loud stage right in well well okay this

4:46
okay DEC we're doing rolling loud La next week next week okay when y'all did
4:51
rolling loud Miami though and nothing against the rolling loud artist but the conver the the subject matter in the
4:57
music isn't similar to the subject matter necessarily on yours no not even not even close yeah you know what I'm
5:02
saying crazy it's crazy so you're sitting in front of how many people were in a rolling loud crowd what you say
5:08
it's so tough to tell because so it was main stage yeah right and that area is so big that it's like uh two 3,000
5:16
people would look like 200 you know what I'm saying so I I really have no clue how many people was out there but I know
5:22
it's a trip because you know like we we playing on the main stage the day that Playboy cardi was was going to close

5:51
fans pulling up uh to get their their place for play with cardi face paint and
5:56
all that you know what I'm saying but like they there at the at the Christian rap at the and play with cardi is like
6:03
the opposite of what we do yeah not just like it's not really congruent it's the opposite he's like we running into the
6:09
Gates of Hell tonight let's get it I'm like let's not do that I don't want to I don't want to go you know what I'm
6:15
saying qu that's a quote uh I mean it's not a yeah U Uzi said that actually oh yeah
6:21

9:04
call it the new mainstream they have a track on there called the new mainstream what is the new mainstream M yeah the
9:10
new mainstream is you know art like ours existing on mainstream platforms and being celebrated not just tolerated you
9:16
know what I'm saying like even this today is is the new mainstream you feel me like we up here talking about God bro
9:22
on sway come on you know what I'm saying we talking about God on Big Boy all over all over all over mainstream radio and
9:28
it's not like oh want to hear that Jesus stuff it's it's like oh let's hear more about this God stuff this Jesus stuff me
9:35
and so and us doing rolling loud that's new mainstream yeah like I am a booked artist at rolling loud dog and they know
9:42
what kind of music I make wow fa to tear it up let's do it
9:47
man um I love it um miles minck and John Keith are here we GNA also open up the
9:52
phone lines 888 742 3345 Tracy you want to jump in yeah you know you got my
9:58
wheels turning moues because I've been wondering for rappers who happen to be Christian or who are you know standing T
10:05
toes in their mission do you feel like it is best if you guys have your own
10:11
industry infrastructure or should it integrate more with mainstream labels to
10:18
be exact like could a huge known label know exactly how to care and cater and
10:24
craft your work to be serviced to the masses mhm well I think I think there's two different sides to it right because
10:30
there is a Christian hip-hop uh industry a genre you know where where where the consumers strictly want to hear clean
10:36
music about God only right but I do believe what we have shouldn't just exist in that bubble I believe what we
10:43
have should exist in mainstream spaces right so I think I think it's two sides of the coin right yes our industry
10:48
should grow where it's strictly just Christian based and Christian audiences but we should also be over here sheding
10:55
that light to where people need it the most you know what I'm saying abely how important was Kanye song Jesus walks to
11:01
this movement incredibly incredibly Inc to the new mainstream for
11:07
real you know what I'm saying like that's lowy one of the first new mainstream moments yeah you know absolutely absolutely you know I'm
11:13
saying like You know despite where he at right now it's like you know uh that that song really did that song open up
11:19
doors it opened up ears you know what I'm saying like people people have are are are very like
11:26
default turned off to any kind of fi stuff and you know what I'm saying part of that is because of like the you know
11:32
the um the failings of the church in the past like that's a real thing you know what I'm saying it's not people not just making it up that's a real thing but you
11:39
know what I'm saying like that that doesn't those failings don't don't speak for God and it don't speak for all his
11:44
followers too so you know I'm saying so that's good I love that um but how do you guys feel when you see you know the
11:51
church get involved with politics and take sides with politicians yo I was wait we was just talking about this we
11:58
was talking about this yesterday I that's crazy um I have I have very strong uh opinions about that not about
12:06
politics okay right so I'm like yo Christians absolutely absolutely should
12:11
be involved in politics Christians should not be picking a side and going this side is
12:19
right and this side is wrong on either side because I'm like bro if you if you a follower of Jesus that means you were
12:25
supposed to be in the middle and and and doing a case by casee job judgement that's just that's what it is because
12:31
Jesus way is not right and Jesus way is not left I'm talking about you know the size J way is always right but it's not
12:38
right or left it's not to to right or two to left exactly you know what I'm saying so it's like you know if you you
12:45
got to line up for Christians specifically you line up with Jesus first yeah and then you judge everything
12:50
else by that not I'mma line up with this side and try and look for where Jesus is
12:55
at in it and and then demonize the other side you know what I'm saying so that's that's my personal that's my personal
13:02
take there's a lyric wait hold on one second there's a lyric um I want to say get it together where you say you only
13:08
using scriptures for a decent caption yeah I'mma tell them quick about what needs to happen yeah yeah you know
13:15
scripture gets utilized as a tool yeah right religion you know people uh
13:22
conveniently utilize it as a tool with a gender attached to it is that what
13:27
inspired that lyric well yeah yeah yeah definitely definitely what we seeing in today's politics you know what I'm saying like people trying to weaponize
13:33
scripture for their own benefit you know without a pure heart behind it but also just like people just trying to be cute
13:39
like he John 3:16 like but you ain't living it like like
13:46
96 I want to find who said that that's hilar that's the same hot girl summer
13:51
voice hey come on Philippians 420 you see that all over social media right
13:57
like you half naked in your profile picture yeah but I can do all things through like you know what I'm saying
14:03
like we appreciate you know you having that there but it's like come on now get it together get it together right Tracy
14:10
go ahead I'm sorry I didn't mean to cut your whistle no no no no same here sway I'm wondering if there is ever an
14:16
appropriate time and this is just my imagination on full display here where a
14:22
Christian rapper could enter a battle would that ever make sense like a rap
14:27
battle so so two things one I just got to let
14:34
y'all know there are fire Christian battle rappers first of all yeah the
14:40
Saga Saga loo Street hymns a ward crazy
14:45
insane they're nuts and also on top of that I actually got into a battle last year that's uh originally with that song
14:52
uh with it wh it was it is a a dis yeah it was a wh it is a disc I did not know
14:59
you see because my interlop comes right before the disc record yeah
15:06
dude uh what it wasn't like completely dis like but you know what I'm saying I definitely aimed like those bars were
15:12
addressing a situation and an individual actually two people you know what I'm saying cuz it was a who are they he's
15:17
trying to go crazy make cook it back uh it was Drake and
15:24
uh going crazy do that he going crazy who were the people though so you saying it's some it's some rappers it's some
15:30
rappers do they know it's them no they know they they know they talk about we we we met up we met up y'all squashed it
15:37
they squabbled it we the yeah we so we so the thing is it it
15:45
started because you know we have uh theological differences right but then also these were individuals like that
15:52
were heavily aligning like I said with the politics thing heavily aligning with this side like yo conservative or you
15:59
going to hell period and I'm like yo that's that's not the Heart of Jesus that's not the Heart of Jesus and so
16:06
like you know it it I went on the radar and you know I'm saying I I I had some bars shout out to on the radar I love I
16:13
had some bars for him and then you know it kind of turned into a thing and then the whole Christian rap Community was like yo this is you y'all tripping this
16:20
is division in the body and I was like I don't I disagree mhm I disagree I think this stuff is important I don't this is
16:27
I don't think this is a situation where we like oh like well let's just you know let's not let's not speak out about it
16:33
let's not it's like no I think this stuff the stuff that's being said that's wrong is being said publicly so I think
16:39
publicly it needs to be corrected it's like a theological debate low key and music the funny thing is I was like if it wasn't to a hiph hop beat like they
16:46
wouldn't have no problem with it let's problem let's hear the song you really with it you talking about it you walking
16:52
about it what you doing sway got in the beef he in it now I'm in the I'm in the
16:59
sway talking that talk he in it now they gotta be fired up you know you know only go off when I get fired up cuz I'm
17:05
really with it anyway uh that's a great track too man I I love the formula you
17:11
you you guys have been able to develop you know you make music that's um appealing to all the ears it doesn't
17:17
matter the genre to me but you kind of put the medicine in the how they say you put the medicine in the in the candy
17:24
turn that mic on I think you hit your mic okay he got it he got it CU took the medicine in the candy right uh there's
17:30
another chorus I want to ask you about uh well it's it's uh we played this song
17:35
first don't forget Lift Me Up trying to get it out the mud yeah while I find my way home
17:43
talk to me about that course say it to me so it says lift me up I'm Not Gon to sing it uh Lift Me Up Lift Me Up trying
17:50
to get it out the mud while I find my way home keep you 100 I got problems with I got problems with trust so if you
17:55
love me then say so and peace of mind is is hard to find I got blood on my halo
18:01
don't need nobody to spray for me I just need you to pray for me you know what I'm saying or don't just don't forget toay for me yeah what what inspired that
18:09
what was on your mind um I was I was really just I was thinking about what I need you know what
18:15
I'm saying like I'm a I'm a person that I mean maybe you could tell from the track we just listened to I'm a person that kind of struggles with uh anger
18:21
yeah you know what I'm saying and so like uh I kind of picked up on that though and so like you know what I'm
18:27
saying when I'm when I'm wronged and all that like my my uh
18:32
temperament is to go to like yo you know saying I I don't have nobody that's going to that's GNA ride and and like
18:39
and die with me and fight and you know and that's not even true but that's sometimes where my my brain goes but and
18:45
you know God kind of checked me and was like that's not even that's not even always love anyways it's like you don't
18:52
need that you need somebody that's that's going to pray for you like when it when it gets tough not someone that's like oh let me prove to you how much by
18:58
by going want to bring violence to somebody else like no I'm going to show you I love you by by praying for you
19:03
prayer works it's powerful you know what I'm saying um yeah yeah just kind of talking about uh you know going through
19:11
life and dealing with the struggles that that happens you know being Stained on uh when I say I got blood on my halo
19:16
it's like this this thing like I'm supposed to be a a follower of Jesus I'm supposed to be a Christian I'm supposed to be a lot of people look at us like we
19:23
supposed to be some kind of picture of perfect but it's like I got I got blood
19:28
all on I got stains on me you know what I'm saying like I got dirt on me and it's just it's not perfect do you feel
19:34
that pressure though it feels like when you come through this genre you got to be pristine you know yeah and I would
19:41
say you know that's not it's not always like coming from like a negative place like oh I have to be perfect because um
19:48
you know that's just what people are going to accept but sometimes like you you know you look up to people uh
19:54
someone who I've a hero of mine I call him my general KB K KB yeah KB that's
19:59
you know what I'm saying I I I've looked up to him since I was a kid that was the first album I ever bought was KB's album
20:05
and KB is such uh an example of what it looks like to love Jesus well you know
20:11
what I'm saying and even though like you don't get to see everybody's like behind the scenes you don't get to see everybody's like you know uh lonely
20:19
moments they don't get to see their their their stuff um but still even what what you do see I'm like bro I want to I
20:25
want to live like that you know what I'm saying so you in instead of uh chasing that you accidentally end up trying to
20:32
chase Perfection and it's like no that's not what this is yeah what about you miles yeah I mean I mean for me it's
20:39
like as a Believer you know there is a standard for us to live by right but even with that you know God knew that
20:46
there would be struggles we experienc in this life you know what I'm saying which is why there's there's Grace but with us
20:51
with us being uh Believers with a platform there is there is added pressure you know to to try to
20:59
you know walk walk a line that people could follow after um but at the end of the day we are we're human yeah you know
21:05
what I'm saying so there may be some things that we struggle with but at the end of the day when I fall I know whose
21:10
arms I'm falling into and you signed up for this y'all came in here and said
21:15
this been our Dream yeah 100% right that that part of it is part of your dream too that's that's how you sustain that
21:22
dream both Sid both sides of it right shout out to Rodney Jerkins saying the OG the legend of shout out that's right
21:30
there yeah man Rodney Jerkins um what is it aliens alive you guys signed with him or yeah
21:37
so I I'm signed as an artist okay in general and then we decided to partner for this project for this project yeah
21:44
with aliens I'm curious even just beyond the realm of Christianity just industry
21:50
in itself what has Rodney Jerkins is one of the most successful people to ever
21:55
come through this music business right like and then we've watched his Evolution right as a as an artist and as
22:02
a man and what his purpose is standing on right now yeah what kind of musical insight and and advice has he giv you
22:09
about the industry y'all got to give me some gems I mean I mean this the short time I spent with him if you just just
22:16
sit around him he's going to give you some type of story on accident on accident about some kind of deal that he
22:22
took uh or when he sat in the studio with Destiny's Child or whatever I'm like are these Michael Jackson Michael
22:27
Jackson you know you know what I'm saying but even just recently last week on a zoom call he was teaching us you know more so about the business and
22:34
proper producer splits and what to do what not to do you know what I'm saying because he's been around a block several what like you know those those type of
22:41
Secrets aren't secrets that's just like yeah you know that's not personal that's like hey man if you're going to do these
22:46
kind of contracts make sure you do this make sure you don't do what like what did he say yeah so like uh when we you
22:52
know the the space that we come from you know what I'm saying Christian Christian hip hop uh it's a lot of uh you know
23:00
it's kind of like a lot of music business like literacy on both sides like on on artists and producers and so
23:06
we just don't know and so like you know and there's also not a lot of uh labels it's all very independent yes sir um and
23:12
so like you know a lot of people will be like oh yo I'mma produce this joint for
23:17
you um but uh I need uh 50% of Master of the master and then you know you being
23:24
an artist like yeah oh yeah that that seems fair you did you know and it's like it's not that it's not it's not
23:30
fair if you're an artist and you have that kind of uh Power to give to people
23:35
absolutely do that that's beautiful that's like partnership that's that's what that is but standard practice when
23:41
you come in with like yo it's a standard practice for you to give me this much and and Rodney's like yo uh the biggest
23:48
producers in the world are getting six% you know what I'm saying like five points on a record whatever um and a fee
23:55
and and we're like oh I'm like five
24:01
you I rolled my eyes immediately at 50% I was like this story is about to end with a lesson yeah like 50 of what yeah
24:10
so you know what I'm saying and so like we you know and there's been there's been there's been times where it's like
24:15
you know it's gotten Wicked because of that you know what I'm saying so it's like and not not saying that they were but like early on in my career like you
24:22
know I had a situation I put out a album in 2020 and there was a producer that we
24:28
had a situation had a deal an agreement and then after it came out he's like I don't like that no more I need 50 and so
24:34
you know I'm saying I was like bro I don't even know I don't know in that situation you know I kind of just I was
24:40
you know I just remade I made a different beat and said I'll just use this one instead yeah how that sound and he was like Noah no no keep it keep so
24:47
so you know what I'm saying that was smart right absolutely and you have to do that but we all I think we all had to
24:53
learn at some point with the music industry you know it does change but the business don't realize you're making
24:59
music for your passion for your calling you're humble all excited right and then you're at this highest emotion and then
25:06
the business side hits you and you don't realize I made this song 30 years ago 25
25:12
years ago and it's still playing yeah you know what I and that's the thing I think as artists we didn't think about
25:17
initially like this song will be playing 30 years from now 25 years from now and
25:23
then the question of Masters start to pop up again it's like all of these people come out the woodwork so yeah you
25:30
got to handle it and get as much information while you can yeah and I also say I think that you know part of
25:36
the thing with coming from Christian hip hop about like with the you know points and and matches all that kind of stuff
25:41
is we haven't really seen the kind of numbers that you know someone like
25:48
Rodney Jerkins the people he works with those numbers are going to be unbelievable and so it's like it makes
25:53
sense that it's like okay this is standard practice you know what I'm saying like five points on a record because that's still going to make you
25:59
mad bread yeah on the on the Christian hip-hop side it's like I understand why why the the the go-to is not oh this
26:06
makes sense for me get for me to get Five Points because what the what the usual is is songs is not they're not
26:13
going like that you know what I'm saying um and so it it's it's been a little bit different but I'm what I like is that
26:19
Rodney's like he came in and he's like yo uh this music should be doing those
26:24
numbers he's like let's get it let's get it to where that's the normal like
26:30
that's the normal music is streaming like that so it's funny you brought this up because sway asked me the other day about a couple of songs I had written
26:37
and I said to him I would rather you play this song even though it's less
26:42
popular as an artist and owner I make more money on that song and he was like
26:48
why is that I said because the song that's more popular has more samples and I had to pay more writers more people
26:55
they wanted money so a song that I wrote in my bedroom room m 30 years ago yeah I
27:01
had to pay nine people because the producer sampled a record yeah you know
27:06
what I mean so you don't realize all of this stuff I'm like why am I getting a bigger check from this other song that
27:12
didn't get as much airpl versus this song that went all over the world it's
27:17
those it's the splits you know that's that's like some of the advice I could give to all these new artists like if you're starting out in 2025 the best
27:24
thing I can say is learn how to produce period for real to mix a master and
27:30
write your own songs 100% 100 and getting 100% is much better than see and
27:36
that's the thing as Sway and I spoke about in the 90s we sampled so much you know it was part of the music it was
27:41
what you heard like I wrote the lyrics but the beat came and it was a top producer but he sampled a song from the
27:49
70s and they came from out the grave and wanted all of their money
27:54
like like I'm like they're dead who's who's asking for money but it's the
27:59
estate like they have these Estates that want the money you know it's like you
28:04
got to they came out the grave y'all bro they come out the grave and come get
28:10
those coins yo the Thriller video is a live and real we 15% 10% they won it all
28:17
so yeah you you you're right I hope a lot of younger art new artists learn that because those samples it could
28:23
sound crazy and hot get somebody to replay it do whatever but it's a real thing 100% hey do you guys like with
28:30
this tandem can do you see yourselves like cuz you know this is what Ray and Ghostface did you guys solo artist you
28:37
know this is what yay and Jay-Z did Watch the Throne like yeah you got you
28:43
