3:25
be consistent keep putting out quality
3:27
hip hop you know and um I got the new D
3:31
piece 3 coming out uhuh and I'm looking
3:33
forward to that it's dropping um August
3:37
9th August 9th August 9th yeah it'll be
3:40
streaming and um it's just a
3:41
continuation but this will complete the
3:43
trilogy uhhuh the first one came out in
3:45
2014 correct right and then second one
3:48
came out in
3:49
2019 yep you came up here for that one
3:52
and this is and you talked about the
3:53
trilogy this is the third one this is
3:55
the third one right here okay you know I
3:57
had like 29 tracks so what I did was was
4:00
I said you know I'm not going to put out
4:01
an album with 29 joints I wouldn't
4:03
listen to an album with 29 joints so I'm
4:05
going to chop it up into three
4:07
parts and um this way um each Pro each
4:11
album can live can breathe on its own
4:13
and not just be overwhelmed because when
4:16
you you at leas if you put out a project
4:17
with that many songs some songs are
4:20
definitely going to get overlooked yeah
4:22
you know what I mean so I said no I'm
4:23
not going to do that I'm going to relas
4:24
this it in three parts you know what I
4:27
mean and um I'm real excited about it
4:29
uhuh that car one joint is getting lot
4:32
of good feedback the Kings how did you
4:34
get Chris did you did you just DM like
4:37
you DM me or is that all you did shot
4:40
him a joint and two weeks later he sent
4:43
it back it is Chris if somebody was to
4:46
ask you they fell on the planet and knew
4:48
nothing about the culture and said who
4:50
is krs1 and why is he great we makes
4:52
some great what would you say um
4:55
consistency longevity you know his his
4:58
stage shows mhm his lyrical content you
5:02
know um it's like he never he never fell
5:05
off you know and um Chris is that dude
5:09
you know for lyrical content
5:12
conscious um and like I said his stage
5:14
show his stage show he always smashes
5:17
does a younger audience need to know I
5:20
think they need to know who he is but do
5:22
they have to know who he is of course
5:24
okay you know the same way when I was
5:26
coming up you know I knew about um
5:30
The Rock Kims you know the um the Big
5:33
Daddy Kings the people before me Run DMC
5:37
and even before that you know um cold
5:39
Crush everybody cold Crush Fantastic 5
5:41
you know I was you know I'm a fan of
5:43
that but you know it's important for you
5:45
to know your history you know what I
5:47
mean so um you don't know your history
5:50
just out here just like you know just
5:51
waving in the waving in the sun you know
5:55
so yeah I think it's it's imperative for
5:57
everybody especially Young Artists to
5:59
you know just dig deep into your history
6:01
you know Jazz always hanging out with us
6:03
too we got diamond deep we're talking
6:05
about the new project Dime Piece 3
6:07
released August 9th the Kings is a new
6:09
one featuring ks1 who Heather be has
6:11
worked with Chris was my music Mentor
6:16
ks1 eered me into the game period
6:19
there's no doubt about it there's no
6:21
maybe no it was Chris it was interesting
6:24
about the three of us and and at Chris
6:26
too I've spent so much time in D and D
6:29
stud stud you know um there with Chris I
6:32
seen Jazz I would see everybody that was
6:34
the Hub but it leads me to this question
6:38
Diamond about you said something about
6:39
passion I think about those days back
6:42
when I first started out with Chris
6:44
being in D and D Studio I was so
6:46
passionate about hip-hop there probably
6:48
wasn't a song that came on the radio
6:50
that I couldn't recite every single
6:51
verse I knew every artist every person
6:55
who directed their video the whole nine
6:58
and I found myself as the years went on
7:00
maybe it's the business I'm not really
7:01
sure that it became less passionate and
7:05
just more love like I love hip-hop I'm
7:07
less passionate about it these days I
7:09
found I find myself now very passionate
7:12
about radio about acting about cooking
7:14
even you know my passion has gone in
7:17
different directions transitioned trans
7:18
transitioned absolutely but how do you
7:21
keep and maybe this is just a straightup
7:23
Up Artist question Diamond but how did
7:25
you keep your passion for it um and how
7:28
do people keep their passionate for it
7:31
because with the years that you put in
7:32
in the
7:33
success I Marvel that you said the word
7:36
passionate I really do because the
7:39
passion is you sometimes you lose it
7:41
yeah n no I still got it you know what I
7:43
mean you know I'm I'm a fan of the music
7:46
you know I'm um I'm a part of the
7:48
culture you know and um like I said I'm
7:52
competitive you know competitiveness
7:54
yeah passionate I want to shout out um
7:57

7:59

11:20
I I like the fact that hit booy does

incorporate samples you know and some of
11:24
his musical outputs um so yeah he's
11:27
definitely one of them okay
11:30
yeah I have another question D um you
11:33
know when you've been in the game for so
11:35
long you are a lifelong Mentor for a lot
11:39
of your fans right and often times it's
11:42
fans that learn a lot from an artist but
11:46
have there been times where you've
11:47
learned from a fan and they've put you
11:49
onto game or they've given you a
11:50
different perspective that perhaps has
11:52
contributed to the maintenance of your
11:55
passion um I would say in respects to
11:59
I've had fans um turn me on to like just
12:02
different artists yeah okay you know um
12:05

12:07

13:02

13:04
jazo EA ski is a man that who was who's
13:07

13:10
Coast sound as a whole not just La not
13:13
just the bay he's from Oakland he and I
13:15
grew up playing Little League football
13:17

13:20
I didn't know that yeah we grew up same

13:35
song the one he's on and it's called
13:37
Blue Sunshine featuring EA ski and 38
13:41
spe right and myself shave 45 yeah when
13:45
when you write now because I'm listening
13:47
to
13:50
um your bars right which which people
13:54
forget like you were one of the first
13:57
producers who r dope
14:01
mhm you know what I mean Jazz exactly it
14:05
was a lot of producers who started
14:07
rapping at a time when you right a side
14:10
thing it was a side thing and they
14:12
didn't rap dope right at the same level
14:15
yeah or somebody else was writing their
14:17
raps yeah yeah we don't do that over
14:20
here why not people say that's okay now
14:23
right I mean you know from a business
14:26
perspective it is you know but
14:30
I'm just from I'm just from that I'm
14:31
just from the from the culture in the
14:33
cloth where if you don't write your own
14:35
Rhyme you can't you can't really call
14:37
yourself an MC you know it's just just
14:40
an Unwritten Rule and it's been that way
14:42
you know since the fury father was out
14:44
here doing their thing you know but the
14:47
other side of the coin is you have
14:48
artists who have Ghost Riders and
14:51
they've sold millions of Records yeah
14:53
you know
14:54
so it's it's a it's a preference thing
14:57
you know it's nothing is it a culture
14:59
corporate thing um culture says you have
15:03
to write your own Rhymes corporate says
15:05
it don't matter no no I think the
15:06
culture respects you more if you do okay
15:09
it's not a necessity okay you know you
15:11
got people who write their own Rhymes
15:13
and can't move no
15:16
units yeah then you got people who use
15:19
Ghost Riders and you know they they sell
15:21
tons of Records so you know it's it's up
15:23
to the artist whatever whatever makes
15:25
you comfortable you know if you got a
15:26
team around you and plus you got to know
15:28
your limitations you know if my man next
15:30
to me if his if his pin game better is
15:32
better than yours then bring him on the
15:35
team you know and you know cut them some
15:38
of that publishing money and some people
15:40
have Ghost Riders and still write for
15:42
others they just like being more like
15:45
collaborative are there any other rules
15:49
um when you first started off in this
15:50
game that you took on but then through
15:53
the decades you kind of was like you
15:55
know what I can edit that rule I can
15:57
bend that rule could see another side
16:00
Beyond um ghost
16:02
riding
16:04
um you know at one time I really
16:08
wouldn't
16:10
share um samples oh yeah that was taboo
16:15
where where I got some of my samples
16:17
from um I'm not I'm not really on it
16:20
like that no no more but hey I'm from
16:23
the era where DJs would cross out the
16:25
names of the record yeah y to hi the
16:28
right yes indeed yeah no doubt anything
16:31
right right to hide the label so you
16:32
can't see hide the label hide the the
16:34
name of the song and the and might put
16:36
it in a different album cover cover they
16:38
even have a uh they have a setting in
16:40
Sado where where it's called um I think
16:42
it's called am mode after DJ AM and you
16:44
can uh enable that mode and it will hide
16:47
all the track information while you're
16:48
DJing it'll do it for you w and that's
16:51
named after DJ because people would come
16:52
behind DJs and look at their screens and
16:54
try to figure out if he was playing some
16:55
exclusive remix or something they'd be
16:57
like ooh you know would you get that but
16:59
now you can hide why they call it DJ
17:01
though you know first yeah I think he
17:03
was the first to utilize it cuz he was
17:04
like you know doing Partnerships with
17:06
Sado a lot when it when it first launch
17:07
so I think they just named it after him
17:09
because he was using it rest and power
17:11
to DJ AM facts jazo how how is your
17:14
writing change like your your style or
17:17
your approach to writing um I mean it
17:19
kind of changed a little bit with
17:23
technology um you using Chad GPT oh oh
17:31
my Jaz
17:33
rap right n but you know with with
17:36
technology I mean whereas you in the
17:38
studio is much more convenient you know
17:41
if you if you catch some lines that you
17:43
want to hold on to and you in the middle
17:45
of something else you know I I jot a
17:47
whole lot of lines in my phone you know
17:50
and I actually have like an actual um
17:52
document space where I just put all my
17:54
on liners or two liners and stuff like
17:56
that when I go on the studio I'm like
17:58
like yeah this is fitting with that this
18:00
is fitting with that you know or if I'm
18:02
um creating cuz I I still make beats too
18:05
creating something at home but right as
18:08
far as to to hit on what Diamond D said
18:12
like it it was a cardinal sin for
18:15
somebody else to write your Rhymes cuz
18:17
it wasn't even about the the music
18:19
business then it was about mcing you
18:22
know mcing meant the club or the street
18:25
so it was it was a cardinal sin it was
18:27
like you were cheating like you couldn't
18:30
no higher than that um so on that level
18:34
like it's all the same like I've had a
18:35
couple of people approach me it's like
18:38
yeah you you know you still got a voice
18:40
you know I you know I know somebody and
18:41
they write Rhymes I'm like I I'm I'm
18:44

the apparatus you know what what comes

people with mad equipment and the joints
33:19
