it's the a r room on sway in the morning
0:03
rush indeed man and listen our first
0:05
guest you know first of all let me
0:07
explain
0:08
the dynamic here
0:09
for us
0:11
we have not seen each other in the
0:13
studio for two years yes broadcasting
0:16
this show so everyone who's here today
0:17
we have not done this live for two years
0:20
and damn it hb it feels good right it
0:22
does it's dope it's dope to be in the
0:23
studio um
0:25
i mean we've been making the show happen
0:27
by the grace of god you know regardless
0:29
since the time we had to remove
0:31
ourselves from the actual shade 45
0:33
studio in new york we've been making it
0:34
happen but it's nothing like the energy
0:36
of everybody being in the same room and
0:38
being in the studio together it's like
0:40
how you we ask questions now to artists
0:42
like were you guys in the studio
0:43
together when you made the song
0:46
the energy is different once everybody
0:48
is in the same room it is it's more
0:50
organic and yeah it reminds us what we
0:52
what we love about doing this and i i
0:54
can just speak from my own personal
0:55
experience
0:56
having done this for uh so long you know
0:59
just really being in a position where
1:01
you could meet artists and and put
1:03
artists on the platform and
1:05
find those who we think are really
1:07
talented and for no other reason than
1:09
what they create you know it's not a
1:11
marketing campaign or a big marketing
1:14
branding push behind it and then giving
1:16
them opportunity and watching them grow
1:17
and create careers for themselves and um
1:20
the artists we have today this is like
1:21
her fifth time on the show
1:23
and i think she came to la back in 2012
1:26
was it all right so it's 10 years she's
1:28
been in l.a and it was important that we
1:31
had our first live guest
1:34
in two years
1:35
to be somebody that sold in the fabric
1:38
of what we do here on this show and so
1:40
we invited the one and only lyric jones
1:42
to come up here you don't only guess
1:44
today other than the dj's and the first
1:46
guest and the first guest so i'm kicking
1:48
off the la guest and the sway in the
1:51
morning guests in general two years man
1:53
and suede decided to have all females
1:55
today as guests that's beautiful yeah
1:57
it's like homecoming for me because like
1:59
you said it's the fifth year so
2:01
all these all these bullet points
2:03
through my career since
2:05
since getting the game sway we're
2:06
getting
2:19
i used to love to see you on a red
2:21
carpet working in production or
2:23
something like that we would bump into
2:24
each other and i'll be like what are you
2:26
doing you know and um and but it just
2:29
was indicative of the type of work
2:31
ethic you put into this you know so
2:33
let's talk about your journey yeah i
2:35
mean i'm here you know uh it's been like
2:38
you said it's been a decade it'll be may
2:40
it will be a full decade that i've been
2:42
in uh la and and recently i'd take i
2:45
took on the task of teaching so i teach
2:48
rap techniques at musicians institute
2:52
and that's been a really interesting
2:53
rewarding and learning process and
2:56
journey as well because i never thought
2:58
you know i'll be teaching at all
3:02
so that's been that's been really cool
3:03
that that kicked off before the pandemic
3:06
um and you know it's been a little a
3:08
little slow because of enrollment and
3:10
stuff like that we were all online and
3:12
so coming back on campus has been a
3:14
journey with mass mandates and vaccines
3:16
and stuff but um to be the only hip-hop
3:19
anything
3:20
at an institution in in the heart of
3:22
hollywood is pretty special and um i've
3:25
i've you know expanded on the bars only
3:27
brand and did the bars only show on dash
3:30
radio did my bars only live event where
3:33
i would have a live band and encourage
3:34
young students to rap with a live band
3:37
um because a lot of people aren't really
3:39
looking at us as musicians for some
3:40
reason like you got to learn how to how
3:42
to rhyme with this is jazz as well you
3:44
got to learn how to enter interact with
3:47
the drummer and the keyboard player and
3:48
all those things so that was cool had
3:50
digger come through right now
3:52
armen came through
3:56
come on jack come on they all been up
3:58
here yes all sway p i met armen at
4:01
doomsday cyphers that's right yes that's
4:03
right see that's what i love when when
4:05
that happens
4:06
how do you
4:08
if you were to give advice to some of
4:09
those students that are going to enroll
4:11
in this class when you teach your rap
4:13
skills in terms of business
4:16
how do you select who you work with and
4:18
what should you look for oh that's a
4:21
very very good question um
4:23
i would i would say my my
4:25
my key advice for that for selectivity
4:27
of who you want to work with nowadays is
4:30
find somebody that's also going to be
4:32
equally excited about what you're doing
4:34
as well
4:35
that's not always easy to do but
4:38
if you are
4:40
trying to have this big image or or what
4:43
you're trying to say with your music
4:45
yeah we have to find those people that
4:47
are going to attract an audience you
4:49
know you want to get those numbers up on
4:51
the spotify that's just the world we're
4:52
living in you want to have those
4:53
accolades and people that are a part of
4:55
your journey but if you if you look at
4:57
my project like digger is a part of that
5:00
not because she's just
5:03
digger it's just because she really
5:05
cares about lyric jones fonte really
5:07
cares about lyric jones you know what
5:09
i'm saying uh focus producing they
5:11
really are a part of it so they're
5:13
excited to
5:15
to promote it as well so it's a family
5:17
affair instead of you being on an island
5:19
by yourself saying oh i got nas on a
5:22
track and he don't say nothing about it
5:24
or don't care about it you know that's
5:26
just me right um because people can see
5:28
through that they can see if you just
5:29
pay for a feature if you just you know
5:32
trying to get likes and numbers but if
5:34
people really rock with you
5:37
it really feeds through the music and i
5:39
think throughout my journey everybody
5:40
i've collaborated with everybody that's
5:42
wanted to do shows with me or come to
5:44
the jones experience or
5:46
um do anything any any type of thing i
5:48
have they really are like now she's a
5:50
real one they really are part of the
5:52
journey so i think that's what's held me
5:55
through the test of time all these years
5:57
and so that's my testimony to give to
5:59
other people it might not work for
6:00
everybody but that's what's um kept me
6:03
tried and true jones hp i know but
6:06
speaking on the lines of may not work
6:07
for everybody i'm i'm just fascinated
6:10
with process like just the process of it
6:12
all and there's a side to this game that
6:16
artists sometimes just don't like to
6:18
talk about like if you if you see
6:22
success from from others you know and
6:25
you know you've been in it for a really
6:26
long time and you're figuring out like
6:28
damn am i doing something wrong
6:30
like
6:31
why isn't this connected you mentioned
6:33
numbers in the game it's probably wonder
6:35
like well who do i got to pay and who do
6:37
i got to get with and if i go do sway
6:40
you know will that help me like all of
6:41
these things how do you stay motivated
6:44
during those
6:45
peaks and valleys because it's just part
6:48
of the process like that it's going to
6:49
happen i don't care who you are it's
6:51
going to happen but how do you stay
6:52
motivated during the times when maybe
6:54
the phone is not ringing or you put out
6:56
a project and you're not getting the
6:58
response that you wanted
7:00
the question is so on time because i was
7:02
just having this conversation with rich
7:04
nice oh literally i didn't know that
7:06
i would tell avid sidebar heather i you
7:08
know i told you off air that you've just
7:10
been uh your voice lately has just been
7:13
speaking to me specifically
7:15
um when sway was out and you know i was
7:17
getting up early listening early bird
7:19
you know listening and um you've just
7:21
been so transparent and you've been
7:23
speaking directly to me on a lot of
7:25
things but
7:26
um that question in particular has been
7:28
tough for me to answer i've been in a
7:29
position where i don't have a lot of
7:31
answers to things that i thought i would
7:33
have answers to like i knew exactly what
7:35
i wanted to do for so long and then this
7:38
pandemic happened and it's like i woke
7:40
up one day like
7:42
i don't feel the same i don't have the
7:44
same drive that's scary
7:46
that's scary like i dedicated my life to
7:48
this so what does that mean am i do i
7:50
have to change my career path do i need
7:52
to move do i need to do this do that
7:54
and so
7:55
i'm very i'm very particular with the
7:57
things that i decide to do now i think
7:59
my main goal is happiness that's the
8:02
good thing that's the key word for me
8:04
now is if it doesn't if it doesn't make
8:06
my spidey senses go up and i don't care
8:08
about money or nothing if i don't really
8:10
enjoy this what am i what am i doing
8:14
i put in over a decade of just doing
8:16
stuff just to just to say it's a good
8:18
look
8:20
i've proven myself with that you know
8:22
now
8:23
we time is so precious i don't have time
8:27
to waste on on you know just things that
8:30
don't make me happy we have to do
8:32
uh the things that we have to do you
8:34
know we know the game still you know but
8:36
if i don't really want to
8:38
i think that's what's been keeping me
8:39
grounded so um i've taken up new talents
8:42
i started djing recently what i'm doing
8:44
really well actually wow
8:45
[Applause]
8:47
to your feet gigs on deck
8:50
you know me swag you know i got too many
8:51
ogs that will get me together
9:00
don't do that sugar head that just did
9:01
do your sugar
9:04
that was on beats wait what you talking
9:06
about that was but that's
9:20
but i love that answer i love that
9:22
answer yes man that's that we don't have
9:24
time for nothing but that real talk so
9:27
yeah that thought of
9:30
i bet everybody like when you know you
9:31
surround with heather myself rich nice
9:34
that thought of waking up some mornings
9:36
and going wait a minute i don't have
9:37
that same motivation why am i doing this
9:40
we go through that i know i've gone
9:42
through that you know we go through that
9:43
too so
9:44
now your words are helped speaking to us
9:46
you know keeping us motivated you know
9:49
and then rich you want to jump in she
9:51
said she was talking to you off mike i
9:52
didn't know y'all was you know having a
9:54
conversation yeah we have conversations
9:55
we have comments that's what people do
9:56
so we have conversations we check in on
9:58
each other and you know my bad yeah
10:04
she went on tour with rob digger we
10:05
ain't really talking oh cap
10:08
how do we do it should i expect that
10:10
from her next tour
10:13
you'll hear the day gone tomorrow
10:16
you'll be where i am today i'm gonna
10:17
enjoy the time i got okay so so you know
10:20
um
10:22
when it comes to artistry and artists
10:24
you know and the quality of music and
10:26
and and can things stand a test of time
10:29
when i think about artistry you know a
10:30
picasso was still a picasso was painted
10:32
many many years ago a basquiat is still
10:34
a basquiat was painted many many years
10:36
ago
10:37
um
10:38
what do you do
10:40
musically to ensure
10:41
that you can have some some timeless or
10:44
some time proof music
10:46
what do you do to
10:48
to work in that mindset
10:50
oh man um
10:53
i make relatable rap that's what i call
10:55
my relatable music because i'm really
10:58
trying to break out of just the rapper
10:59
category in general i do way more than
11:01
that so
11:02
um i'm an artist artist a lot of the
11:05
people that inspire me are
11:07
um other artists that speak to to us
11:10
specifically
11:11
so
11:12
i feel like everybody can relate to my
11:15
my music regardless there's no female
11:17
category there's no black woman category
11:20
there's none of that it's just
11:21
you listen to what i'm saying
11:24
and it's it's going to be it's going to
11:26
stand the test of time that's what all
11:27
the records that we love today when we
11:29
can still play stuff from the 90s
11:32
and what have you even 2000s we can
11:35
still resonate with that
11:37
so i just let my musicianship leave me
11:39
with that
11:40
just like a picasso or whatever that
11:42
they're not really thinking oh
11:44
you know 50 years from now i want this
11:46
to be however many dollars they were
11:48
just in the moment of this is the art
11:51
that i want to make and being and
11:53
following that move
11:55
with your spirit you know um with
11:57
whatever you create so if i want to dj
11:59
one day if i want to make beats this day
12:01
if i want to you know
12:03
teach or whatever like everything i do
12:05
is with
12:06
all all my heart so that feeds through
12:09
the music people can't hear that people
12:11
can can feel filler [ __ ] you know they
12:13
can they can see when it's not yeah you
12:16
know we especially now it's it's even
12:18
easier to cut through now actually as
12:20
far as like when people press play i
12:22
never have an issue when they press play
12:24
it's to get them to press play when they
12:26
press play they're like yo
12:29
this is i can relate to this you know
12:32
but that that's always the getting to
12:35
the press play how do you cut through
12:36
the noise where people care enough to go
12:38
let me try this out i'm going to assume
12:41
she's going to sound like this i'm going
12:42
to assume she's going to
12:43
have this perspective so the breath of
12:46
fresh air is going against the grain and
12:48
not being like
12:49
that that perspective that everybody
12:51
else has or that sound that everybody
12:53
else has what is unique about you and
12:55
nobody's lyric jones
12:57
so that's the answer right there there's
12:58
no there's no lj she just told you to
13:00
answer rich i don't even know why you
13:02
answered that question
13:04
you gotta ask these questions what what
13:06
would you say
13:07
is your
13:09
number one rap technique if you had to
13:11
give somebody an elevator crash of
13:12
course
13:13
um my number one rap technique is uh
13:17
scatting
13:18
scatting i'm a drummer so
13:21
my
13:21
i'm i move with tempo first so it can be
13:24
gibberish or whatever in between uh the
13:27
bars and then i find the words later so
13:30
flow and delivery what i teach are the
13:32
two most important ingredients of being
13:34
a true mc because you can
13:36
you can have flow but if your delivery
13:38
is off
13:39
there's something missing but if you
13:40
have good delivery like you have this
13:43
boisterous tone or whatever but you you
13:45
can't really flow that's another
13:47
ingredient i it has to be both of those
13:49
things so i lock those in first and then
13:52
let the words come because that's the
13:54
easiest part for me is finding the words
13:56
but that cadence got to be that's i
13:58
think that's the most important because
14:00
that's what rapping cause other than
14:01
that you're just doing poetry
14:03
rapping is where the cadence and the
14:05
timing and the and the rhymes all
14:07
coincide if there's no synergy with that
14:10
then you're just you're just doing
14:11
spoken word and that's the difference to
14:13
me
14:13
let's just i feel like before because a
14:16
couple things eric jones is here let's
14:17
give her a big round of applause the
14:19
album is closer than they appear yes yes
14:21
you know like when you got your rear
14:23
view mirror and they say objects may
14:24
seem closer than they appear that's
14:26
exactly what it is come on lyric jones
14:28
i'm connected i already knew
14:31
so that was like a bar for you but like
14:33
your spoken word
14:35
yeah yeah yeah
14:36
i picked up and you pick up on that yeah
14:38
i know him
14:39
yes he might need this he might have
14:40
that oh my god
14:42
yeah yeah yeah i don't need it i
14:44
probably wrote something and i'm
14:45
probably
14:46
there are four rappers at this table
14:51
damn that's crazy right um
14:53
you know what i would like to do um if
14:55
you're okay with that number one we
14:58
might as well make you the first person
14:59
to perform on the show in two years
15:01
right i would love to two years in two
15:03
years you know live from la first person
15:05
in l.a the whole nine but before you do
15:07
that just for people because you're
15:09
teaching rap skills right and so can you
15:11
demonstrate
15:13
how your scat technique works if i throw
15:15
an instrumental on yeah i asked out
15:17
that's yeah okay let's go let's throw a
15:19
beat on
15:20
this gibberish okay
15:22
[Music]
15:24
little primo yes
15:26
so
15:27
just fine let's find the timing in
15:29
between there ah
15:32
[Music]
15:36
that that
15:38
ah
15:41
[Music]
15:50
i make it really easy because a lot of
15:52
these students are very very beginning
15:54
rappers
15:55
so if you have some easy like
15:59
if you do four bars of that
16:01
that's the easy pattern it's all about
16:03
patterns
16:05
jazz right there
16:06
i gotta
16:28
all right okay okay so look let's do
16:30
this
16:33
uh
16:34
there was one song i was going to play
16:36
but but you you made a comment that
16:38
maybe i i shouldn't play it i was going
16:40
