didn't feel was a natural strength of
5:15
yours but you still wanted to pursue it
5:17
and you put in the work and now you
5:19
would say you're great at it dancing huh
5:22
yeah for sure talk about that yeah like
5:24
when I was um when I was even growing up
5:27
you know I knew I was a great singer but
5:29
I knew I could dance you know I knew I
5:31
wanted to dance I remember my mom um she
5:34
put me in this competition it was like a
5:36
V103 thing back in Atlanta with uh
5:38
Wander Smith RP wand Smith um they had a
5:41
thing like where you come down there you
5:42
sing like you Michael Jackson or
5:44
whatever and I remember I went down
5:45
there but when I got that they was like
5:46
now you got to dance and I remember the
5:48
prize was to win an electric scooter and
5:50
I really wanted an electric scooter and
5:51
I remember I was like man I'm not
5:54
dancing though you know what I'm saying
5:55
like I'm like I'm not dancing like you
5:56
feel me and I remember they talked about
5:58
me the next day like like man it was
6:00
this kid down there he could sing real
6:01
good but he just didn't want to dance
6:03
you know what I'm saying but after that
6:04
I was like man I got to get great at
6:05
dancing so I ended up getting my
6:07
choreographer you know what I'm saying
6:08
taking choreography classes when I was
6:10
super young and I stuck with the same
6:11
choreographer wow you know all the way I
6:13
still got the same choreography yeah
6:15
till today D big shout out to D Coter
6:17
that's my choreographer and uh he just
6:19
really got my confidence up you know in
6:21
dancing because when you dancing and you
6:23
doing rehearsals and all that it's like
6:25
a confidence thing so when you dancing
6:27
around like a bunch of people that's
6:28
actually super super great it like could
6:31
mess with you you know what I'm saying
6:32
especially when you know you great at
6:33
another thing you like man I want to be
6:35
great at this too and big shout out to
6:36
all my dancers like Reggie uh you know
6:39
it was a lot of guys that helped me Theo
6:41
along the way like that wasn't
6:42
choreographers but they was dancers in
6:43
the class that just helped me get my
6:45
confidence up and now when you come and
6:47
see me perform it's
6:49
like it's up there you know what I'm
6:51
saying all elements yeah it's all there
6:53
thr beat on let's
6:56
see look how I look I said t show
7:00
yeah but yeah now I come see it on tour
7:03
on tour I'm doing all that you know Dan
7:07
the battle up in there what you about to
7:08
do man what about you D is there like an
7:11
area that you didn't feel was a natural
7:14
strength of yours but you put in the
7:16
work and you have full confidence in it
7:18
now um I would say
7:21
just I mean even the music just alone
7:24
just me just bringing that pulling that
7:26
out of me cuz as a kid I was never in
7:28
talent shows I never nobody knew what I
7:31
was going to do they thought I was
7:32
probably going to play basketball cuz I
7:34
was good I used to wake up with the
7:35
basketball every morning and you know I
7:37
played with all the boys I everybody
7:39
know me for that in the in the
7:41
neighborhood I stayed in so nobody knew
7:44
I did music but the ones who knew so it
7:46
was like I I kind of perfected that
7:48
along the way with just being who I was
7:50
naturally and just wanting to be better
7:53
so I think that's something I just kind
7:55
of like you know nourished and yeah you
7:58
still nice on the court
8:00
uh I'm decent I I don't you know claim
8:02
stuff I'm not good at I'm decent though
8:05
I'm decent though like you can put me on
8:07
your team like I could still get in
8:08
there like I just I want to be great so
8:10
I don't like to you know what I'm saying
8:12
be good right you want to be great put D
8:14
in a celebrity game I want to
8:16
see we could definitely do that I ain't
8:18
scared to get out there but who else is
8:20
nice uh Kanani uh G uh what's name Gabby
8:26
oh she could play oh she got
8:29
what I think I seen her oh that's cool
8:31
that's my she's nice she's nice I'm
8:34
curious to you all because I you know
8:36
I've been very fortunate I've been in
8:38
the entertainment business a long time
8:40
so I've gotten to see a lot of
8:42
iterations of it I've seen it morph from
8:45
one day we're selling cassettes and
8:47
vinyl to next day we're selling CDs and
8:50
DVDs and then I seen it more from MP3s
8:54
to you know uh you know the streaming
8:57
the streaming sight so it's changed
8:59
since your first projects came out right
9:01
and then you both had real you know
9:03
robust industry runs how do you look at
9:07
it how did you see the industry when you
9:08
first came and then how do you see the
9:10
music business nowadays Lo um first came
9:14
in you know it was it was different then
9:17
definitely now for sure um I came in I
9:20
you know obviously I was with a label
9:22
you know and I was pulling up and you
9:24
know it was a lot of you know label
9:26
things going you had a lot of people
9:27
around you back then too right I did you
9:30
know a I had a lot of family still right
9:33
there too you know they was in the cut
9:34
but you know a lot of people came and
9:37
went and a lot of stuff changed but um
9:39
the music industry man it's just
9:41
different now you know it's it's the
9:42
it's the new stuff it's the streams it's
9:44
the numbers you know that's all it's
9:47
about now so I just try to keep the fun
9:49
in it and keep creating the music and
9:51
not forgetting like you know where I
9:53
what the area I came in and how I felt
9:56
about music growing up you know like I
9:58
want people to still feel
10:00
I was when I grew up like you know
10:02
listening to my favorite artist and you
10:04
know so yeah I'm still putting in the
10:06
work like that like that's my mentality
10:08
when I'm you know still creating when
10:10
you're still creating and I know J que
10:12
you got the label now so you you can't
10:14
possibly see independent too now
10:16
independent right that's so you can't
10:18
possibly see it the exact same right
10:21
well me I mean you know I'm still with
10:23
cash money you know this my first um
10:25
this my first release without cash money
10:27
you know what I'm saying St gave me the
10:28
honor yeah Super Deal salute all right
10:31
baby didn't have no problem with that n
10:33
no ST stun let me go uh and do my thing
10:35
on this you know what I'm saying so big
10:38
shout out to him and slam for that but
10:39
uh you know it's different but honestly
10:41
I I know I can take on the challenge you
10:42
know I've always been head on you know
10:44
everything that I did at cash money you
10:46
know and everything I'm doing I'm always
10:48
like head on with that you know that's
10:50
that's that's a big reason for My
10:51
Success you know I've always been like
10:54
hey let's do this let's do that I
10:55
remember my first single um you know
10:57
slim had picked another song I remember
10:59
coming in there telling him like man bed
11:01
the one man like you know what I'm
11:03
saying we need to go with this one and
11:04
you know he started listening to me and
11:05
everything changed and took off but I
11:07
would just say the difference from then
11:09
and now um in the whole game is like you
11:11
know when we was coming it was mixtapes
11:13
yeah you know and the mixtapes was
11:14
really free you know what I'm saying
11:16
like I dropped so I dropped like 10
11:18
mixtapes before I dropped my first album
11:19
you know what I'm saying and it's like
11:21
now when artists drop mixtapes it's like
11:23
it's it's for for sale you know what I'm
11:25
saying so it's really like it can go
11:27
platinum and all that like you can win
11:28
Awards so it's really like not a mixtape
11:30
to me you know what I'm saying so it's
11:32
like that's the difference and I try to
11:35
like now I done put my my mind back on
11:37
when I first came in the game I'm like
11:38
man I'm hungry like I stay hungry but
11:41
I'm like I'm super hungry now because
11:43
like I say I still haven't won no Awards
11:44
or nothing and that's stuff that I want
11:46
to get you know so that's important to
11:48
you right it's super important to me
11:49
like I want to walk in my MMA house and
11:51
see my BET award my MTV award my grammy
11:54
you know so they give me stuff to look
11:55
forward to so now with the new system
11:57
and the new game like I I'mma adjust you
12:00
dig what I'm saying like whatever it is
12:02
that's going on I'mma we gonna figure
12:03
out a way to adjust and I feel like with
12:05
this new project that we doing yeah you
12:07
know it's a great way for us to get into
12:09
what's going on you know cuz challeng
12:12
yeah you know challenge ourself with the
12:13
new with the new generation because they
12:15
familiar with our old records of course
12:17
but now it's like it's so fastpaced now
12:20
the game so fast you know what I'm
12:21
saying it's like we going to get in
12:23
there we going to get what they want and
12:24
it's going to stick though I know these
12:26
records men days just put together like
12:27
I know they going to stick like I on
12:29
hearing these records for the next 10
12:30
years just like how you heard the last
12:31
ones yeah man I love it man I love it
12:34
give them a round of applause see
12:36
that's I like that I like this longevity
12:39
you got a new baby yeah yeah my son snow

12:55
I'm going you haven't posted them yet no
12:57
I haven't posted them so okay that's a
12:58
part of strategy or how I mean it's just
13:01
like it's just n it's just like it was
13:03
the album coming out the it's just like
13:05
it was I I I went on I went on Deion
13:07
Sanders show to talk about the album
13:09
okay you know what I'm saying and and I
13:11
had wanted to figure out a way to put my
13:12
son to the world you know what I'm
13:13
saying cuz you know I wanted to show
13:15
people like my son you know that's my
13:17
pride and joy so when I was on there
13:19

13:20
this would be the perfect perfect way to
13:22
just bring them to the world you know
13:23
what I'm saying he got me right here his
13:24
moms he got his granddad it's like a
13:26
super dope Legacy you know what I'm
13:28
saying I'm up there talking about my
13:29
career and stuff it just it just made
13:31
sense it made sense does being Dion is a
13:34
friend of mine that's hard I won't go
13:37
diving deep into that but um Dion makes
13:41
me want to do better when he's around me
13:43
that's real right and I wonder for you
13:46
being an artist you out there you know
13:48
it's a lot that comes your way surely
13:50
but do you have an extra layer of I got
13:53
I want want to make sure I'm better drop
13:55
the ball I can't drop the ball I'm now
13:57
with the Sanders family too n i mean it
14:00
ain't that you know what I'm saying I
14:02
think for me I can't drop the ball
14:03
period cuz of where I come from okay you
14:05
know what I'm saying it's like I've been
14:07
I Ben couldn't drop the ball no matter
14:08
who I was with like I the ball couldn't
14:10
be dropped you know what I'm saying I
14:12
think me being around Dion and being
14:15
around him and his family is is is
14:17
greatness so I'm the type of person
14:19
where I always looked up to Greatness so
14:21
anybody that's great I always could take
14:23
something from you like man that's a
14:25
that right there that you do right there
14:27
that's great I want a part of that you
14:28
know what I'm saying like you know what
14:29
I mean and that just always been me

14:49
you know years you could say f a friend
14:51
said that hardcore too right it's a real
14:53
like that [Â __Â ] I could relate to it [Â __Â ]
14:55
a friend zone is that how how it's
14:57
supposed to say be said like
15:00
know how to say it perfect say how you
15:02

15:04

15:10
Vibe you said you really know how to say
15:12
though like [Â __Â ] a friend zone like man
15:15
[Â __Â ] a friend zone yeah that's how it
15:17
is how I would say [Â __Â ] a friend on
15:20
exactly that's how I would say you want
15:22
to try it [Â __Â ] a friend zone oh you
15:25
never had to say that I tell yeah that's
15:28
hard though you know what I I really
15:30
it's a declaration it's really what it
15:32
is it's like nah I don't want it to just
15:35
be platonic like I want it to be more

19:00
getting their feet wet established and
19:01
bring you up and it just hit and we just
19:03

it's always something different when I
19:30
stood up saw you in the hallway today I
19:33
I you know I always feel
19:35
underdressed um but there was a
19:37
particular moment and I want to ask you
19:39
about this moment because people have
19:41
meaned you all sorts of stuff because of
19:43
how great your fashion is but there was
19:45

21:11
money to get fly but you got to you know
21:14
have your pieces you got to you know do
21:16
you have different eras of your style as
21:18
well like when you think about the way
21:20
that you progress and evolve with music
21:23
right and there can be different subject
21:24
matter that's your current focus is that
21:27
also a reflection of your current
21:29
wardrobe what do you mean like do you
21:32
feel like you evolve constantly where
21:34
you're like in a particular ERA with
21:36
your style or you think it's consistent
21:38
throughout I mean it's consistent and
21:40
it's definitely like just seasons and
21:42
you know like just moods and you know
21:45
like feelings and where you at in life
21:47
you know what I'm saying M yeah I go
21:49

21:51

22:03
see y'all on the road too oh yeah we
22:04
going on tour the [Â __Â ] friends on tour
22:06
start April 5th yeah tickets online
22:09
right now friends on tour.com here yeah
22:11
yeah we coming to New York I'm coming to
22:13
that show oh yeah y'all got to pull up
22:15
I've been trying to you know I've been
22:16
trying to come to your shows for a long
22:18
time come man I can't wait this going to
22:20
be the one this is the one this I'm
22:21
outside this year too man I feel good
22:23
about 2025 y'all back oh yeah we out
22:26
back this our first interview together
22:28
is it really wow ever ever ever ever cuz
22:31
I was wondering if y'all were going to
22:33
have a conversation component to go
22:36
along with [Â __Â ] a friend zone too
22:38
because one you guys just vocally you're
22:42
there's a contrast but you guys are also
22:44
very complimentary of each other but
22:46
then you're coming with two different
22:48
perspectives on the topic of love and
22:50
you guys embody it but also we don't
22:52
always see a man and a woman doing a
22:56
full project together who are not in a
22:58
relation sh I think that's really
23:00
important to see that there can be like
23:02
a platonic friendship that's possible
23:05
and you can create mus pushing platonic
23:08
yeah that was hard but of course it's
23:11
possible you know what I'm saying I feel
23:12
like we but like honestly before me and
23:15
D you're really right though you weren
23:17
you a't really hear nothing else you got
23:19
to go back to like Marvin Gay you know
23:22
yeah Tammy Terrell or something like
23:24
that just to be compared decades back
23:26
that's a long time ago
23:29
I was going to say uh J and The Shanti
23:31
went together J and The Shanti they had
23:33
a whole album but they could have [Â __Â ]
23:36
all like put together yeah but not just
23:40
a whole project have you guys learned
23:42
like d have you been able to learn more
23:44
about the masculine expression or things
23:48
from from jacquis and vice versa
23:50
definitely you know that's we we going
23:52
back and forth in a lot of you know on a
23:54
lot of the records a lot of times so
23:55
it's like you know from his perspective
23:57
like I be you know I be trying to get
23:59
back at him on some of the songs and
24:02
make you know make sure you know I'm
24:03
responding in the the best way for women
24:07
in all you know in all cases so it's
24:09
like how you like doing interviews with
24:11
him this your first one does it feel
24:13
right feel like some [Â __Â ] he got to work
24:15
on what
24:17
he no it's cool you all right okay yeah
24:20
yeah it's really I be worried about the
24:21
interviewers but I you
24:24
know yeah come on you know where you at
24:27
he said you know where you at you I
24:28
don't like I don't like doing all the
24:30
messy stuff and all the you know stuff
24:32
that's just like you know where you at
24:34
Family yeah you came to the class spot
24:37
right here um we could do that though if
24:39
you want to you know I come from that
24:41
background I come from that
24:44
background get some messes I used to do
24:47
it before the guys you see doing it so
24:49
let me know but N I think it's bigger
24:51
it's bigger narratives that more
24:53
important to me uh than he taking look
24:55
he taking the rack up there you go show
24:57
show
24:59
man come on
