2:34
we just had our union shout out
2:36
um but yeah so we started there we were
2:38
on leadership together um went our
2:40
separate ways you know what you use what
2:42
was you doing in the meantime
2:44

2:45
curating cyphers being a voice to the
2:48
west coast you going okay i went to

actually okay um and then came back and
2:54
i was like dang i look you want to be a
2:55

2:58
it i saw vashti cola shout out to her
3:00
from new york
3:01
um she inspired me to get on it and i
3:03
got on it and we wrapped it for la now
3:05
there it is
3:07
that's though but like it takes y'all a
3:09
young you know and and beautiful women
3:12
so i just want to say so and smart but
3:14
what made you love hip-hop because i
3:16
think at the stage and the age y'all got
3:18
into it you gotta love it because this
3:20
is not easy it's a super grind
3:22
especially now with so much competition
3:24
and so many people feeling like i could
3:26
do it too i could do it too what made
3:28
you first fall in love with hip-hop and
3:29
music
3:30
this sounds like brown sugar
3:33
it is but it is yeah
3:35
this is brown sugar
3:37
right now this is what it was based on
3:39
um in my household hip-hop and r b was
3:41
like really the only thing that exists
3:43
so going to school every morning my
3:44
daddy would be playing nwa the east
3:46
siders that's all i knew tupac so for me
3:49
that all that music was still current
3:51
when he was taking me to school every
3:52
morning and
3:54
i just like to hear the way that rappers
3:57
swag beats swag each other beats and
3:59
that's why i started producing ciphers
4:00
just to hear how somebody else rides
4:02
another artist's beat like it's just
4:04
freaking crazy to me got it that's cool
4:06
that's gina views what about you crystal
4:08
very much same my parents were playing
4:09
nw i love me some cube snoop like so
4:12
some real west coast artists but not
4:14
only that they were playing people like
4:15
miles davis um earth wind and fire so i
4:18
was very inspired just not only by
4:19
hip-hop but like just the
4:21
instrumentation of everything as well
4:23
so even just growing up like ironically
4:25
i'm a dj but i love live music i love
4:28
live instruments so just music in
4:29
general and how it moves you that's what
4:31
i really am inspired by so that's dope
4:34
what has been like being a dj and being
4:37
a woman and being heard being seen
4:39
getting jobs getting paid right okay see
4:42
look you don't start the mess okay look
4:44
it's hard it's definitely hard however
4:46
we've had a bunch of with female
4:49
pioneers that really paved the way for
4:50
not only me but my peers gina right here
4:53
like not even not just djs you know we
4:55
got hb right here in the building right
4:57
now look at it you know this it's very
4:58
inspiring you guys really paved the way
5:00
for us so i would say it's a lot easier
5:02
for me now to be able to kick some doors
5:05
down just because you guys paved the way
5:06
for us
5:07
um even it's you know it's still a
5:09
struggle you know we still have to stand
5:11
our ground in regards to pay in regards
5:12
to just getting the respects that we
5:14
need you know sometimes guys will walk
5:15
in the room acknowledge every man in the
5:17
room but won't say nothing to the woman
5:19
not even knowing we the boss you know so
5:21
it's difficult sometimes but i think
5:23
that we're making some progress for sure
5:25
you notice that's why i walked right up
5:26
to them first when they walked in the
5:28
