You hear that
0:02
That's the sound of my actual heartbeat and the way it sounds before I hit the stage every time
0:10
It's actually what my heartbeat sounds like every time before I do everything, anything
0:15
The fear of failure. The fear of possibly letting people down. Even possibly letting myself down
0:23
But this right here's the hustle I care about the most. F*** it, let's do it
0:30
Ladies and gentlemen, that's the voice of the one and only good friend of ours, HB, coming from the Boogie Down Bronx
0:41
This dude is the star, man. Yes and B. Can y'all hear me
0:46
Loud and clear. The Ricky Smiley Show to the Morning Hustle to Dish Nation to V103 to now
0:55
He's doing it even bigger, ladies and gentlemen. We got the big show premiering Friday
1:00
That's Friday at 8 p.m. on YouTube. Please welcome the one and only Head Crack
1:04
Head Crack. What up? Head Crack, you there? Check, check
1:17
Okay. Hey. What up, y'all? What up, family? Yo, man, it's so good to hear y'all voices after, like, you know, years of not, you know
1:27
like about a year and some change of not being able to properly connect, man. I miss y'all to pieces
1:31
man. How y'all doing? Fabulous, man. Hey, head crack, man. I'm actually on the phone right now because my system cut out
1:39
So I'm kind of enjoying the show as a listener. It sounds totally different from this perspective
1:44
You know, no matter how you sit on it, it still sounds good either way, man
1:48
I feel like we just went to church with the sis, Kelly Price. Big shout out to her. Yo, for real
1:52
Come on, man. Hey man, you got a lot going on. First and foremost
1:56
I'm glad you're healthy. I love that I can turn on the TV or go online and see your face
2:01
and see you healthy and wealthy at work. And I want to say congratulations to you for all that you're doing right now
2:08
The new project is banging, and I want to talk about it all, man
2:12
I want to talk about it all. But first and foremost, I'm proud of you, bro. I watched your ascension throughout the years
2:18
I watched how you catapulted your career, reinvented yourself. Man, hair crack, man
2:23
I love it, man. Keep doing it, bro. I just want to start. Thank you so much, man
2:27
I mean, like, hard work pays, and it's not like the 80s where you can just do one thing
2:31
and then you get paid forever for that, so you got to, like, juggle, like, 19 things
2:35
So it's a radio show. It's a TV show. You got to rap. You got to sell flat tummy tea
2:39
You got to do it all. But at the end of the day, like, you know, as long as you're touching the people
2:43
and people are reacting to what you do in a positive way and you're enlightening others, it all feels fun
2:47
It barely feels like work. Not flat tummy tea. Do you sell
2:53
Because I could use some of that, man. Do you actually sell that tea
2:56
Nah, actually what I really just did, I recalibrated the way I was eating
3:02
Because like everybody in the quarantine put on that quarantine 15, 20, even 30
3:06
So what I did is I started switching up and just eating like multiple times a day but just like smaller meals man I dropped like 30 pounds in like a month and a half so like now i feel ready to run a 5k almost like maybe i walk it but you know what i saying but
3:22
like i'm much better than i was when the quarantine started i was gonna ask you head crack about your
3:28
cooking i was wondering if you were still chefing it up and doing some things in the kitchen
3:32
still chefing it up and shout out to you have to be because last time we connected at south
3:36
by Southwest, you gave me the dope, like, wooden cheese cutting board, right
3:40
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. It was so crazy, because I didn't realize that you used that to cut cheese, because I was
3:44
wondering why it smelled that way, right? So I had to, like, come home and, like, soak it, and, like, really, like
3:48
rock it, but once I got it good and, like, you know, together, yeah, I'm back to making, like
3:52
the dope, healthy, like, tacos, the fajitas, the, you know, the plant-based things, and the meat-based
3:58
things, you know? I'm a part-time vegetarian. There it is. There you go
4:03
Hey, man, what is this virtual event, The Big Show, all about
4:06
All right, so I'm doing an Action Park virtual viewing experience. So this album is my first album
4:14
It's a 10-song project. I made a video for every song on the album
4:18
And what we're doing tomorrow, Friday, February 9th at 8 p.m. Eastern Standard Time
4:23
we're doing a big show. It's a virtual viewing experience. It's free to view
4:27
The link is in my Instagram bio. You can follow me at H-E-A-D-K-R-A-C-K
4:32
And we're not only going to watch the videos for the Action Park album
4:35
but I'm also going to be tapping in live and like, you know, playing games with people that's in the chat
4:40
So you'll have the opportunity to win like, you know, merch and a whole bunch of stuff that you can't get nowhere else other than
4:45
the action park, virtual visual experience. That's fire. You know, you said February, right
4:51
Yeah, correct. I'm sorry. I'm a time traveler. April 9th. I'm sorry
4:55
April 9th. April 9th. April 9th. Yo, head crack. What I appreciate about you is you are able to wield your magic wand of
5:04
perspective so swiftly and so witty and just already be able to you know reset yourself and
5:12
i think it's probably was a great quality for you to have last year you know during the center of
5:19
the storm with this pandemic and when i think of action park you know i think of roller coasters
5:26
and those dips and those heights and so i'm interested if you wouldn't mind sharing with us
5:31
in 2020. What was your lowest moment, but what was your highest moment? Well, Tracy, I feel like my
5:38
lowest moment was, you know, all the pressure that I had on me launching my own radio show
5:44
And, you know, everybody's looking at you like, you know, it's one thing when you live in under somebody else's house is another thing when the house is in your name when you want to lease
5:51
you know what I mean? So for everyone's into launching a brand new show. Now we all sent to
5:55
go in our perspective quarters and having to trap out the crib and do the show virtually. And, you know, we somehow managed to pull it off
6:02
And we're doing phenomenal, and we're picking up new markets all the time. So that was kind of like a win
6:07
It was that whole show improved thing. Like, you know, we know you for being on this show, but can you do it on your own
6:12
And the answer has been resoundingly yes. So that felt good. And I also taught myself how to do a lot of things during the pandemic
6:19
Like, I became a much better video editor than I was going into the pandemic
6:23
And a lot of the videos that were shown at the virtual viewing experience is all stuff that I shot directed and produced myself and it don look like Funky Finger Productions either Like I really like you know leaned into it and got it rocking
6:35
So that was probably, like, the low and the high. You know, and also I miss seeing actual people
6:41
I'm an energy person. I like to, you know, press the flesh and, you know, I'm a hugger too. So now, you know, people don't really want you to hug them
6:48
Got to be careful pressing the flesh too. Yeah. You end up in an HR meeting somewhere
6:54
You know what I'm saying? Action Park, is that a real place
6:59
Yo, so for anybody who lived in the New York Tri-State area like the 80s and 90s
7:03
I'm sure you saw the Action Park commercials. Heather B, I know you. Jersey, it was in Jersey
7:08
I went there, I loved it. Yo, it was the most dangerous amusement park in the world
7:13
And I remember when I finally went, when I was going to Christ the King in the Bronx
7:16
we went as a field trip. And I cut my leg just walking around
7:21
The park was that dangerous. It was a human-propelled ride. So the metaphor and the parallel with that in my album is life is like a collection of rides
7:30
Like you said, Tracy G, it's going to be roller coasters. It's going to be ups and it's going to be downs
7:34
But no matter what, you live to tell a story. And an amazing story it will be, you know, once you have some cuts and bruises and scars to talk about, you know, from your experiences
7:44
So, I mean, there's a lot of stories on here. There's a lot of, like, you know, introspection and, like, you know, talking about, like, you know, my life is a shorty
7:52
growing up into a young adult and just the path that I'm trying to blaze towards the future too
7:59
Well, see, that's what I wanted to ask you because when I'm listening to songs like Bad News or..
8:05
Yeah, I think it was Bad News and I'm listening to Thanks for the Ride
8:09
and I'm listening to All the Way Lit. It's certain stories you tell
8:16
it's certain things you say in your lyrics that I found to be interesting
8:20
and you even said in one that your mama got locked up. Were you talking about your mama
8:26
Yeah, like my mom got incarcerated while I was still in high school
8:30
and that kind of led to me having, like, a short stint with homelessness
8:35
So, like, you know, I didn't really have no place to live, so I was kind of bouncing from crib to crib
8:39
But, you know, kind of like a shark in the water, if you stop swimming, you die
8:43
So I couldn't let that be an obstacle for me. I had to keep pushing
8:48
I had to survive. I had to figure out how I'm going to get lunch at school the next day and whatnot
8:53
So I just figured it out. Like, hey, what if I took my prepaid school lunch card and just liquefied it into actual money
9:01
and I shot dice with the money and then I used that to get money because I was 14
9:07
So I couldn't work work. You know what I mean? And I had to figure it out. So the thing is, look at life as a game of uno
9:15
You could have the wackest cards and a whole bunch of skips and reverses, but you still got to figure out how to win the game
9:20
And no matter what, I'm always going to figure out how to win the game because, like, it's never no for me
9:25
It may be not right now, but it's never no. So you got to figure it out, and, you know, that's what I did
9:32
Straight up. Shout out to Sky Hook. Sky Hook was the first one to tell me
9:37
hey, man, you need to get up on Headcraft, Bodega. You know what I mean Like you really need to know what these dudes are doing And man you risen ever since My favorite song on the project And you got a lot of great music You know and it fun You know if you know Head Crack you know you going to listen to these songs and go who is he writing about
9:56
And then you realize he's writing about his own life. It gives me so much more perspective on how far you've come
10:02
Thanks for the ride is the one that really I've played back like at least three times
10:08
Talk about the concept of Thanks for the ride. um so basically when i started working on action park there was like you know i had a different
10:16
circle of people around me like you know even relatives you know like you know um you know my
10:22
mom was still alive when i started action park and and i hated that i didn't get a chance to
10:26
include her in this project because she passed like you know like while i was in the middle of
10:29
working on it and i just wanted to loop back and give her something special of her own like on the
10:34
next album but i started working with a really dope dude by the name of garnett reed who was an
10:38
amazing like you know industry vet who like really believed no garnett rest in power that was a good
10:44
friend of mine garnett reed yo man g-net was just a solid individual and to know g-net is to love
10:50
g-net and if g-net had love for you he always showed it and then also my uncle too all you know
10:56
who was like a big rap fan from back in the day he passed due to um you know als um also like he
11:02
like right before i started working on action park and he always used to be like my toughest critic
11:06
so I wanted to use that record to thank the people that got me to this point that I am in my life
11:13
and even also too it's a love letter to the fans it's a love letter to New York City you know because
11:17
I go back to New York it feels different because everybody either died or moved and it just doesn't
11:21
feel like the place that I grew up at but you know these experiences and these people who I
11:26
interacted with they all made me who I am today and I just wanted to just properly thank them
11:30
in a form where you could listen back to it later and just say thanks for the ride
11:35
Wow. Headcrack, man, you a well-rounded, talented, multifaceted individual, brother. I'm inspired by you
11:43
