1:58
make sure we can tell got
2:03
you we were in Philadelphia okay okay

2:08
at touch of jazz yes yes Studios yes it
2:11
was me seventh and cow Hill

2:29
no [Â __Â ] like this
2:30
we you were recording and Eric wanted to
2:32
take a break don't worry you ain't got
2:34
to remember I got you I know I know like
2:38
which billion session was this right
2:40
right maybe this will remind you and
2:43
this is when I got a whole new
2:44
perspective on who you are as a human
2:47
being more so than just an artist um
2:50
because your Vigor you wanted to leave
2:53
the studio the confines of being between
2:55
those walls y'all were in a session I
2:57
think I'm not sure what project you were
2:59
recording
3:00
the one maybe um or
3:02
even Day in the Life it was sooner than
3:06
the one yeah yeah was when I was working
3:08
with all the roots cats James poiser and
3:11
and and Victor dupl yeah all them yeah
3:15
Carvin was
3:16
there Dre y all of those guys were there
3:20
yeah and you said I want to get
3:22
outside and we went downtown Philly I'm
3:26
on the edge of my seat I can't I want to
3:27
know what did I do I love the way I'm
3:28
telling this story I know and we went to
3:30
downtown Philly you knew of a spot there
3:33
was an event happening I was like Gordon
3:35
what are we doing man we got to you know
3:37
I was working with an artist too and I
3:38
wanted to get him in that session and he
3:40
said man just follow his lead bro you
3:43
led us to this gigantic tent I told you
3:45
this before and for some reason they
3:47
were doing Sasa Dancing Yeah man yes oh
3:52
now I remember now I remember remember
3:55
yes and and we were and I was just so
3:57
out of my element but it was so amazing
3:59
I saw that Community like that it was
4:02
big beauti and he was dancing to the SAA
4:04
music he said yo hold my hold my beard
4:07
sway right and then you went out there
4:09
and start dancing yes like a
4:12
professional Ballroom dancer wow well I
4:14
know you being
4:18
wager too much on let me take some of
4:21
the sauce back all right no but you
4:23
would exceptional and we stood there and
4:25
it opened my mind to a whole lot you
4:27
know in and about you I realized I don't
4:30
know this man as well as I think I do
4:33
you yeah man and so how did you like how
4:37
did you even get into that kind of dance
4:39
well I I I think you know first of all
4:42
just that whole era that you're talking
4:43
about in Philly in the 90s was
4:45
incredible because every time I think
4:48
about that time it it in my mind it must
4:51
be what it was like uh in mtown in the
4:55
1960s because literally you would be in
4:58
a session and and somebody would come in
5:02
and say yo this's this new girl that's
5:04
so and so signed she just say she wants
5:06
to sit in on your session and and this
5:08
new girl would come in it'd be Jill
5:10
Scott it' be Jill Scott and then it' be
5:12
Erica about do and then James poison
5:13
would be like yo when they were doing
5:15
miseducation of um you know Lauren or
5:18
when they were working on D'Angelo's
5:19
record it it was it was just an insane
5:22
energy so back on what you were saying I
5:25
think when you're in this this this
5:27
profoundly creative
5:30
uh movement and wave you're very in
5:33
touch with yo I need inspiration right
5:36
now and I've I basically I've tapped out
5:39
my inspiration in this room right now
5:41
sometimes you have to remove your remove
5:43
yourself from a room or a space or a
5:45
person and it's just going to ignite a
5:47
whole another vibe and I remember
5:49
particularly on that album we were
5:50
working on like a a song it was called
5:53
why you follow me so the song had like a
5:55
Latin like like like salsa feel and
5:57
something about that culture in
5:58
particular it's not about when you go
6:01
have you ever been to like a well you
6:03
have go to a sauca club it's so not
6:07
about the personality or or the let me
6:10
let me post up and it's all about yo we
6:13
came to enjoy this music and a girl can
6:16
walk up to a guy and dance and it's not
6:18
about having some sexual advance or
6:20
anything it's like no I just want to
6:22
dance right now so I was I was just I
6:24
remember what you're talking about I was
6:26
like yo I need to tap into that right
6:28
now where it's all about the music music
6:29
is unpretentious it's just like let me
6:32
ride a music wave right now where people
6:34
are riding a music wave and then I think
6:36
I took that energy back and you take
6:38
that back to the studio and then you
6:40
make you produce a beautiful song right
6:44
and I'm not surprised by this too Eric
6:46
because even in your last project um the
6:49
one going back like 10 years ago you
6:51
were experimenting with a bit of country
6:54
you're experimenting with a bit of ree
6:57
you know and so you have proven that
7:00
you're a multi-dimensional artist and
7:02
black music lives in all of these spaces
7:05
is there a genre still that you have yet
7:07
to dip your toe in and experiment with
7:10
that might be seen heard on Duets That's
7:13
So Dope that you asked this question I
7:15
mean cuz yeah you know like like Evol
7:17
change is evolution and as long as
7:19
you're as long as you're just not
7:21
allowing um uh other genres and other
7:24
styles and other spices to affect what
7:27
you do you're going to stay St stagnant
7:30
and I remember on this particular
7:31
Project M that will be coming out soon
7:34
it's a duet's project I remember I was
7:37
with my man my man Terry who's right
7:39
over there we were at a uh we were at a
7:41
writing Retreat you know at jbr we did
7:43
this really dope um um um writer camp
7:46
where we just hired not hired but we
7:48
just invited all these incredible
7:49
writers and producers and we rented this
7:51
house in in Palm Springs and it was
7:53
beautiful and it was same kind of
7:55
situation same kind of situation as you
7:56
describ so it was like we were writing
7:58
and everything was going good and I was
8:00
like yo I got to step out and then I was
8:03
like let's go get some coffee and while
8:04
we were driving to go get the coffee I
8:06
was for whatever reason I was like I
8:09
never wrote a boson NOA joint like a old
8:11
Sergio Mendes like like like Carlos job
8:14
beam I'mma write I'm G write a bosan NOA
8:16
joint went back wrote this bosan NOA
8:19
joint and man it feel it feels so good
8:22
and so authentic and that's just to tap
8:24
on what you're saying I think you always
8:26
need to be yo I never did that type Vibe
8:28
before so
8:30
yes to answer your question even Opera
8:31
cuz I saw on your Instagram oh my God
8:34
you could do that easily yeah sometimes
8:36
I mess around with it but just growing
8:39
up my dad um I grew up in this household
8:42
where my dad had this extensive
8:44
classical music collection and all these
8:47
operas and and all these sonatas and and
8:50
and uh so I was like immersed in that
8:52
too so it's like like even in my R&B I
8:56
like to you know the running gag in the
8:58
studio is like like Eric is going to
9:00
probably try to put some strings on this
9:02
cuz it's like you know I always hear
9:04
like I do I always see even if it's like
9:07
a you know a real like stanky funky like
9:10
thing I always hear like like
9:12
orchestration in it you know so can't
9:14
always afford it cuz you know that [Â __Â ]
9:16
is expensive but no more Warner Brothers
9:18
no right right I got to pay for it
9:21
myself thund brother right the brother
9:25
fun the brother records exactly exactly
9:28
you you you know the other thing
9:31
um you don't I haven't and I could be
9:34
mistaken you could correct me I I I love
9:37
correction you don't do a I don't
9:39
haven't heard a whole lot with hip-hop
9:40
artists right uh not not a whole lot
9:45
yeah CUA CUA for me I felt like I
9:47
respect the genre too much to feel like
9:50
yo as a R&B artist because hip hop is
9:53
this movement and and it's the voice of
9:55
the younger generation I always kind of
9:57
felt kind of pandering to do
10:00
feel like yeah I feel like I do what I
10:04
do and I'm always down for like a
10:06
collaboration if somebody like ask me or
10:09
want to you did the joint with Wayne red
10:11
B girl yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah we did
10:13
we we did we did this joint with Wayne
10:15
and it's like I'm uh yeah I've always
10:19
just felt like I need to my my creative
10:22
statement has always been like like
10:25
singing um um live instrumentation and
10:30
um yeah so yeah I think it's just more
10:33
of a like me not really wanting to like
10:35
Pander to a Vibe or a style uhhuh I
10:38
think of Eric Benet Eric Benet is here
10:40
by the way man give this man a big round
10:41
of applause and I think of when you
10:44
first came out in um want to say 96 area
10:48
right sir yes sir o R&B in '96 man
10:53
b the baby making music time 96 R&B man
10:58
we've been aching for that ever since
11:00
right who was out at that time who were
11:02
considered your competitors uh in 96 it
11:07
was um I mean it was like Maxwell it was
11:11
um black street remember black oh man
11:13
black yes black remember Tony Rich Tony
11:16
Rich Tony Tony Rich had a
11:18
whole
11:20
knows yeah yeah yeah who who pulled that
11:23
one up that was me
11:25
singing was like that's good I mean the
11:28
singing
11:36
question try think of Tony Rich thought
11:40
he was like that wasn't exactly the song
11:42
but you know you octaves and
11:46
keys you got the point the words were
11:48
right right right right they they was on
11:50
yes no but yeah it was uh it was it was
11:53
a time of music for music's sake and and
11:57
romance and love and it was a man you
12:00
know now now I'm sounding like a old man
12:02
no man in '96 we was saying the same
12:05
[Â __Â ] though like true right it's just
12:07
you know so it's the whole concept of
12:09
age uh we we have to redefine that for
12:12
ourselves because when you put that it's
12:14
a Scarlet Letter that comes with it it's
12:16
energy that comes with it we years old
12:20
you know you're not old you're young
12:23
you're just years on this planet yeah
12:25
years wise let's talk about that man I'm
12:28
looking at you you man you looking
12:29
Health you look like you rolling back
12:31
the clock like what is your regimen like
12:34
like some people B ask them Eric ask
12:37
them no but like some people it's like
12:40
no it's more of a spiritual thing and
12:41
the positivity and other people are like
12:43
no I got to make sure I'm not doing my
12:45
Dairy I cut my sugar down and alcohol
12:48
like what what is it for you I stopped
12:49
with the alcohol boom okay I wasn't a
12:52
big big drinker anyway but um can I I
12:55
I'mma let you finish sway okay wait
12:59
but but the thing about alcohol okay is
13:01
it's like the wine industry and the beer
13:04
Industries they want you to believe that
13:07
all a couple once and now and then ain't
13:09
so bad it is bad your body do not want
13:12
alcohol in it it does anyway go ahead
13:14
yeah it doesn't and if you try to repair
13:16
your body after the alcohol takes days
13:19
before you even get the alcohol out your
13:20
system thank you sir and when you reach
13:22
a certain age that ain't working in your
13:24
favor and the hangovers are
13:26
horrible this guy speaking from
13:28
experience guy
13:29
but I try to cut out the sugar Bo the
13:32
sugar is poison right it's poison we're
13:34
put in our body constantly uh I'm trying
13:37
to everything go ahead drink moving
13:39
water or water that's in bottles um I
13:42
don't like drinking water that sits in
13:44
plastic bottles I'm talking glass
13:46
bottles man you preaching right now Y
13:47
and let me tell you something man this
13:48
what we need to be telling our people go
13:50
ahead yeah I get I wake up in the
13:51
morning I drop down I do some sets of
13:54
push-ups I do some core work and I push
13:56
myself after a few days if I haven't
13:58
done nothing see I got to run you know
14:01
so I got sometimes you don't feel like
14:02
it you feel like and and this a
14:03
conversation we do got to have for
14:05
people who's coming to this stage in
14:07
your life um you want to take the
14:10
biggest best investment you can make it
14:13
ain't in your car it ain't in your house
14:14
it ain't in those chains it ain't even
14:16
in your spouse man it's in yourself and
14:19
so um I came to that conclusion e and
14:22
you know I'm I come from Oakland I'm an
14:24
athl I was a athletic D I got to be able
14:27
to move like you was moving when you was
14:28
doing that salsa you know uh so that's
14:31
my regimen what's yours cuz you have to
14:33
change everything you just said Is
14:36
Gospel because um being in this industry
14:39
as long as I have you and I have seen so
14:42
many of our contemporaries who felt
14:45
Invincible in their 20s and in their 30s
14:48
and it's like oh at the end of the set
14:49
I'm going go drink I'mma go do this
14:51
I'mma smoke that you know I'mma catch
14:53
I'mma catch a half hour sleep on the
14:55
flight you know no bro you can't do that
14:57
that's why you ain't here right now now
15:00
that's why that's why you fell off so
15:03
everything you just said I cut out the
15:04
sugar I cut out the alcohol I make sure
15:07
that I'm working out I make sure that
15:08
I'm drinking water soda is poison sugar
15:12
is poison um um you know not to tell
15:15
anybody what to eat cuz there's
15:17
different philosophies but I I
15:19
personally cut out beef and pork and um
15:22
I'm very careful on the fish that I eat
15:24
make sure it's wild you know wild C wild
15:27
caught you know so it's like you got got
15:29
to you got to have that in the Forefront
15:31
of your of of your intention and your
15:34
action these days because yo um my I my
15:38
wife and I we we got a a 12 and a 10
15:40
yearold I plan on seeing not only seeing
15:43
the grandkids but I I plan on playing uh
15:45
Hopscotch with him you know when I'm in
15:47
my 90s and it's possible so Hopscotch in
15:51
your 90s
15:52
so w i just grabed that out that's a
15:56
great visual maybe maybe it'll be
15:57
virtual hop scotch
15:59
in6 or whenever the [Â __Â ] that's going be
16:02
I think another thing that contributes
16:05
to Your vitality as well is leading into
16:08
the technology of today like staying
16:11
ined that was important you know what
16:13
I'm saying and personally I love the way
16:15
that you use your Instagram cuz I think
16:17
it is such a sweet delight that you are
16:21
such a jokester about I ain't got no
16:24
sense since you've been with us since
16:25
you've been with us here we have been
16:27
freaking cackling and I know that there
16:29
was one post I got it some other folks
16:31
didn't get it I think it was back in
16:33
April where you were in the hot tub in
16:35
the bathtub in the bathtub I'd be in the
16:36
bathtub we having epiphanies and [Â __Â ]
16:38
with the bubbles and pearls and that
16:41
should be the name I should do a whole
16:43

16:46
call like bubbles and Pearls I like that
16:48
hey hey Netflix get at me Bubbles and
16:51
Pearls with Eric B no s since you

16:59

17:01
could go down some octaves too but some
17:03
folks it was like yo the visual mixed
17:06
with the sounds like is Eric bedet okay
17:08
I was like yeah do you feel like people
17:11
get these additional layers to who you
17:14
are especially because of the music you
17:16
make when it's about love people think

19:07
like he's like no dude let's talk like
19:09
what's up with the Pearl I don't know
19:11
it's like getting back on the fashion
19:12
thing it's like I sometimes I'll get
19:15
like on one thing like I remember there
19:17
was like this one black motorcycle
19:19
jacket that I I would never take it off
19:22
and that it was like three years where I
19:23
wouldn't take that jacket off and then
19:26
once it once the black jacket was over I
19:28
ain't wore it since and it's probably
19:30
the same thing with the pearls I put
19:31
them on one day and there's something
19:34
just off enough about it that I liked
19:36
I'm like oh I'm a rock this [Â __Â ] I love
19:37
it yeah it's off enough got to be off
19:39
enough it got to be off enough got to be
19:41
off enough you hear that nephew text son
19:43
in here Isaiah just one of the hey
19:45
that's another phrase with just off
19:47
enough we need to start just off all
19:50
right see look at that we productive
19:51
we're productive so let let me ask you
19:53
this been a minute um uh been what 10
19:55
years yeah 10 years yeah like probably
19:58
like eight since the last single yeah
20:01
what happens in the eight years in
20:04
between that a a musician an artist
20:06
wouldn't put out music well that's an
20:09
excellent question man it's like part of
20:12
me and I I don't know see there's
20:15
difficult way to answer this question
20:16
without sounding like uh slightly old
20:19
cragan old man but when you come from
20:22
the era that you and I came from and you
20:25
look at what the CEOs are doing on the
20:28
Stream platforms and you know I'm got to
20:31
be careful well you are own one I am
20:32
kind of own you're safe speak your mind
20:35
but
20:36
psychologically especially where we come
20:38
from we come from an era where music was
20:40
something that we held so much reverence
20:42
for like like if we wanted a song we had
20:45
to go to the record store and flip
20:47
through the crates and tactile the
20:50
tactile senses of holding that album
20:52
looking at the artwork and reading the
20:55
liner notes there was just a whole uh uh
20:58
um reverence for that and it just I
21:01
don't know it just seems like
21:04
nowadays it it it turned into um
21:08
something where you just do what you do
21:11
you put your Blood Sweat and Tears into
21:12
something and you kind of throw it out
21:14
there for free yeah and I think it was a
21:17
psychological thing I just had to get
21:19
around a hurdle right yeah a hurdle
21:21
where it's like you mean to tell me
21:22
I'mma do this that and the other and the
21:24
CEOs over at Spotify or whatever they
21:27
making all this money and and at the end
21:30
of the
21:31
day I never stopped writing music it was
21:34
like I'm it was a conscious decision uh
21:38
since I partnered with
21:40
Allison um Allison who actually gave me
21:42
my first record deal my second Rec deal
21:45
and now uh I I she and I created this
21:48
company called jbr okay and um I was
21:53
content over the last eight years
21:55
without just touring the world and and
21:57
doing my song
21:59
and you know making my money that way
22:01
but Allison was like boy you need to go
22:02
in the studio and do a record and so we
22:06
decided to do it a different way this
22:08
time like well if I'm going to do it
22:10
it's great that I now own the record
22:12
label so yeah so but if we're going to
22:15
sign other artists it needs to be more
22:18
of a partnership with the artists um
22:21
more of a share in the success as
22:24
opposed to let me exploit your your your
22:27
talent so that made it easy for me to be
22:30
like you know what then let me make a a
22:33
a record that feels um uh timely and
22:38
relevant now but it's still uh
22:41
reminiscent of of the greatness of the
22:43
90s that we were talking about and do it
22:46
with all these other young incredibly
22:48
talented uh women so it's a duet's
22:51
record with just me and incredible
22:53
female artists and the first single is
22:55
with my my sister my girl my my C
22:58
beautiful Tamar tamaron yeah it's just
23:02
time what's the name of the single the
23:04
name of the single is uh uh something we
23:05
can make love to
23:07
so um your own music is do you make love
23:12
to your own music no absolutely not y
23:14
would your voice right like if you heard
23:17
yourself saying hey baby turn that [Â __Â ]
23:19
off man because as a producer in the
23:22
song writer like I C even if you play
23:24
one of my songs right now I I could vibe
23:26
to it but my brain automatically goes to
23:30
that session it's like damn I should
23:31
have turned them backgrounds up a little
23:33
bit oh why didn't we put the guitar
23:36
right there and I'm still like producing
23:38
[Â __Â ] uhhuh so the the trouble the snare
23:40
ain't warm enough exactly but aside from
23:43
that like it's just weird to hear like
23:45
my voice singing when I'm trying to
23:48
little narcissistic yeah you know there
23:50
may be other artists that are into that
23:52
type of [Â __Â ] really okay good so if
23:55
I if I ever hear your voice in the
23:57
background I'm turning it off
23:59
no offense sir n no offense be before we
24:04
let you go because we got to continue to
24:05
do this and now now that you're
24:07
independent you can always use this
24:08
platform to promote whatever you want to
24:10
do man you better say that one more time
24:12
cuz I'mma cash that check man cash it
24:14
brother it's good money too cash that
24:15
check cuz we got a we got an artist
24:17
coming out Joe Leone he's incredible
24:19
singer uh songwriter
24:21
multi-instrumentalist and we coming out
24:23
with his single we we're signing like
24:25
three other artists this year Allison
24:27
and I we on a rampage Rampage we on a
24:29
rampage make sure they dope though if
24:30
you going to bring them here absolutely
24:32
oh yeah yeah yeah cuz I know you clown
24:34
them quick man it won't go
24:36
well thank you for coming
24:39
goodbye go well uh good luck with that
24:42
how has fatherhood influenced your PIN
24:44
gang oh my God fatherhood influences um
24:49
anything that involves emotion or
24:51
sentiment or uh appreciating every
24:54
moment that you have on this life
24:57
fatherhood will just accentuate all of
24:59
that yeah you know
25:01
because you know when you get to this
25:04
age and you realize just how fast yeah
25:09
in the blink of an eye it literally you
25:11
know it literally feels like like like
25:15
two years ago uh my little girl uh so
25:20
this year she's going to going into the
25:21
seventh
25:22
grade and I swear to god it feels like
25:25
two years ago she was five yeah it's I
25:27
mean and it's such a painfully sad but
25:30
beautiful thing so that affects my pen
25:33
game where every moment just means more
25:36
and I think that always translates to
25:38
how you speak and how you act and how
25:41
you just walk through your day so it it
25:42
affects everything every moment means
25:45
more boom look at that another that's
25:48
another one every moment means more
25:51
Bubbles and per bub was it yeah Bubbles
25:53
and pearls and there was another one
25:54
just enough off just enough off just off
25:56
enough
25:58
