1:15
younger than you are now Nico were both

1:25
being from the East Coast they they were
1:26
little they had little dirty tactics and
1:28
stuff but we won't talk about that but

1:43
tried to take us down but they
1:45
couldn't but uh Jojo and so I I want to
1:48
say this young man every time he's come
1:50
up here even when the um the thousand
1:52
pictures book one was out I was
1:54
concerned about him CU I was like man
1:57
the music you make isn't the music
1:59
they're making right now yeah kids your
2:01
age wasn't making that kind of sound you
2:03
know your sound was a little more
2:05
sophisticated to me right and it was a
2:07
little more deeply rooted you the sound
2:09
you made was that of somebody who
2:11
studied the craft studied the culture
2:13
yeah right that was then M right and you
2:16
survived it now we're what seven eight
2:20
years later he outlasted the trust you
2:23
outlasted the trend yeah do you feel
2:25
that way 100% welcome Nico brm back to
2:28
the show come on man
2:30
man you feel that way right 100% yo it
2:33
was it was a lot at that time uh you
2:36
know a lot of pressure on me to uh
2:38
conform to the trends and what was going
2:40
on but you know my music really comes
2:41
from my heart and my soul so I just I
2:43
did what felt right you know 8 n years
2:46
later you know a couple tours later you
2:48
know and uh I'm thankful happy to be
2:51
here it feels like a homecoming for it
2:53
is a homecoming I want to go back to you
2:55
outlasting the trend um at any point did
2:59
how do you not
3:00
feel and this might be a powerful word
3:03
but failure if your your career isn't
3:06
performing at the same as people who
3:08
were following the care uh following the
3:10
trend right and you seeing them in all
3:12
these Open
3:13
Spaces how did you cope with that did
3:16
you get a did you feel a sense of that
3:18
yeah um I feel like it was it wasn't
3:20
like I didn't feel those things it was
3:22
like working through it you know like
3:23
being able to to work through it um
3:26
being younger it definitely was a lot of
3:27
that comparison I'm waking up I'm
3:28
getting right to my I'm seeing what
3:30
everybody else is doing in the world and
3:32
I'm like damn I'm still here I'm in my
3:34
ver I want to you know be on tour I want
3:36
to do this I want the whip I want you
3:38
know all those things that I'm seeing
3:40
but I had to learn like yo you just got
3:42
to look at your foot and put one foot in
3:44
front of the other you know and like
3:46
over the years I learned to gauge My
3:48
Success just based off the work I've
3:50
done you know what I'm saying and uh
3:51
it's almost like just like a tunnel
3:53
vision you know I'm saying like I'm able
3:54
to to celebrate other people you know
3:56
what I'm saying but I don't want to be
3:58
in comparison to other people and I
4:01
think that that's really what it was
4:02
like I I felt those things man there was
4:04
a lot of times where I was stressing you
4:06
know and I just feel that you know I had
4:08
to learn how to stay true to to my path
4:11
man how do you not like uh let it
4:14
discourage you you know say for example
4:17
I use a gym analogy right you know you
4:19
could work out for weeks and then for
4:21
months and then one day you walk by the
4:23
mirror and you look at your body and it
4:25
looks the same and then it's like damn
4:28
why do I even want to go back to the gym
4:30
you know what I mean so I can see that
4:32
analogy with music like I keep making
4:34
music I think is
4:36
great let it be known that you are very
4:39
respected and you have a very secure
4:41
following but you had to build it Y and
4:44
if people aren't responding how do you
4:46
not how do you overcome the
4:47
discouragement and go back into the
4:49
studio yo I'm honestly I feel like I I
4:53
just focused on I focus like I said one
4:55
foot in front of the other man like as
4:57
long as I'm in the gym like I never
4:58
looked at it like I didn't make progress
5:00
okay you know I always looked at it like
5:02
I walk past the gym like no I'm I'm
5:03
getting big you know but it just maybe
5:06
other people wasn't aware of it so I
5:08
just felt like it was me just staying in
5:09
there man like it I I really just have a
5:12
tunnel vision I have a great way of just
5:14
blocking out the noise like I'm very I'm
5:17
very in tune with myself bro I just
5:19
follow my heart and what I feel I've
5:20
always been that way before I was even
5:22
an artist you know I always just went to
5:24
my own Rhythm and I feel like you know
5:26
being in that own Rhythm it just allowed
5:28
me to like yo you just got to stay in
5:29
the lab like it's going to come to you
5:31
you know it's going to come to you I had
5:33
I had faith I had a lot of faith man
5:35
like you know even when I didn't have
5:37
the tangible results to back it up I
5:39
knew that it was on its way because I
5:41
put too many hours behind this you know
5:43
what I'm saying so you know that I think
5:46
that that's really what got me n brim is

6:51
feel like family yes absolutely when you
6:53
were saying that you um learned to
6:57
embrace patience you learned to um stop
7:00
comparing yourself was the main teacher
7:03
time or are you also able to share some
7:07
resources maybe you read a particular
7:10
book maybe you watched certain YouTubes
7:12
maybe you spoke to certain people like
7:14
just because you know this is a very
7:16
common feeling especially when you're a
7:18
Creator yeah yeah absolutely I would be
7:20
on um I would be on YouTube and I would
7:23
just see like uh just like successful
7:26
habits that people would have and I
7:27
noticed like you know the first like
7:29
know 30 minutes of the day they not on
7:31
social media okay you know what I'm
7:32
saying so you were putting that in the
7:33
search bar like yeah yeah like just like
7:35
successful Habits Like I would look it
7:36
up like you know what are people doing I
7:38
would watch uh nip interviews I would
7:40
see what nip was reading you know what
7:41
I'm saying like we a superior man you
7:43
know be like water from Bruce Lee
7:45
growing up I was in into books at all yo
7:47
like I was not a good St summer school I
7:50
did all of that [ __ ] but as I got older
7:52
I'm like man if I'mma take my craft to
7:54
the next level like I have to be
7:55
knowledgeable like regardless of how
7:57
everybody feels your favorite artists
7:59
are knowledgeable about they craft so I
8:02
just spent a lot of time just looking
8:03
into those things and once I started
8:05
implementing those habits on a day today
8:07
that's when I started you know realizing
8:09
the shift you could know something if
8:11
you're not applying it it don't really
8:12
do nothing for you you feel me when sway
8:15
was mentioning um your parents and you
8:17
coming from such a royal ancestral line
8:21
right does that during those um that
8:24
time of self-doubt does that make you
8:26
feel like nah this is inevitable this is
8:28
a part of my Destiny or did it feel like
8:31
pressure like godamn am I going to be
8:32
the one that like stops the flow yeah
8:35
you know at that time it felt like damn
8:38
that was a good question it was like a
8:39
little bit of both because I felt that I
8:41
had like this this ju position of having
8:43
that that ancestral line and and having
8:46
my family you know be successful but
8:48
then people weren't willing to support
8:51
me the same way because of that success
8:54
almost like you just got it figured out
8:56
you know so it was like I felt myself
8:58
having to prove to like so many
9:00
different sides and different people
9:01
that I deserve to be here you know what
9:03
I'm saying it was it was easy for people
9:05
to try to feel like just because my
9:06
parents were who they were that um you
9:09
know I was it was just handed to me but
9:11
if you know my story if you know my
9:12
mother's story you know that it was not
9:14
easy you know what I'm saying and it was
9:15
a lot of pain that I had to put in you
9:18
know so I I think that at that time I
9:20
definitely would be tripping like man
9:22
they not going to see the vision but you
9:24
know we here we here baby round of
9:27
applause for that single mom raised
9:28
three kids absolutely that's right come
9:31
on I know the story you know what I'm
9:33
saying yeah bro my mom she she's she's a
9:35
real one and you know even in you know
9:37
her she talks about her story and just
9:39
you know what we have went through with
9:40
you know losing a lot of things and you
9:42
know just rebuilding you know ourselves
9:44
as a family and you know I was there for
9:46
all of that you know what I'm saying and
9:47
that was actually at the start of my
9:48
career when I was coming up here you
9:50
know what I'm saying I was coming out a
9:51
granny crib you know what I'm saying I
9:53

swim instructor like anything I could do
10:50
just just to put some more bread in my
10:51
pocket to support myself and support my
10:53
family at that time I had to do what I
10:55
had to do so you know coming up here at
10:57
that time it was a y'all don't don't
10:59
even understand how much that meant to
11:01
me you know what I'm saying like uh
11:03
coming from being raised the way that I
11:05
was raised to then have such a humbling
11:07
experience you know what I'm saying uh
11:08
no home and and figuring that out you
11:11
know what I'm saying and you guys uh
11:12
embracing me and seeing that I had a a
11:15
love and passion for the music that
11:16
really catapulted a lot of things for me
11:19
you know what I'm saying and I'm really
11:21
appreci okay black man can swim that's
11:25
the new narrative black man can't swim
11:27
negro Phelps
11:29
I like
11:31
that Mike News man ni I'm so proud of
11:35
you man some watching growing up um I
11:38
have a question for you it's interesting
11:39
the conversation you were having with
11:40
sway a little bit earlier I'm just
11:42
wondering do you feel the pressure to
11:46
stay who you are authentically in your
11:48
lyrics right you did talk about
11:49
challenges that you have had but you
11:51
know we all know your parents and you've
11:53
had some great experience' been exposed
11:55
to some really amazing things you don't
11:57
have the life of selling drugs
11:59
shooting and murder and violence um I
12:02
feel like that's the major part of
12:05
lyrics today um it's some formula or
12:08
mixture of guns drugs killing murder and
12:12
then yeah and then and then sex um how
12:16
did you
12:17
reconcile you know how the content you
12:20
wanted to put out the lyrics you wanted
12:21
to say and the type of rapper that you
12:23
wanted to be I feel like uh that's why I
12:26
went by my name Nico brim you know
12:28
people think it's stage name that's my
12:29
actual name and I felt that I always
12:32
wanted to be authentic to to my story
12:34
and I know that
12:36
because it's all of the things that you
12:38
named there was space for me to tell my
12:40
story cuz there's not too many people
12:42
that's going to be willing to to stand
12:44
on that Hill you know what I'm saying
12:45
like that was that that always just
12:48
resonated with me like man my story is
12:50
going to inspire somebody there's so
12:52
many youngans out here that um are aware
12:55
there's so many young is out here that
12:57
that want to contribute to the world you
12:59
know what I'm saying like impact their
13:00
Community impact their hoods and that
13:02
was always my mindset and so I always
13:05
thought to myself if I could be the
13:07
person like how Cole and Kendrick
13:09
inspired me yeah I can you know what I'm
13:11
saying I can do that for the the Next
13:13
Generation the next group of people you
13:15
know and like you said it's it's also
13:17
just one of them things like I ain't
13:18
never have to shoot nobody so it's like
13:20
[ __ ] I'm not about to talk about it you

platform early for my fans and the
15:48
people that have access to um you know
15:50
just speaking of business acri when you
15:52
look at streaming you know we're making
15:54
like you know a hundredth of a cent you
15:56
know you know give or take you know and
15:59
I feel like with the way that uh just
16:02
like the culture it pushes you to to
16:04
feel validated being up on streaming
16:06
platforms but no one's really teaching
16:08
you how to take care of your business
16:10
you know what I'm saying and how to uh
16:12
appreciate value along the way we only
16:14
feel like we we can get that return on
16:17
the investment of our career when we get
16:18
a deal and that's not how it goes you
16:21
know you can continuously build your way
16:23
up you know I remember I was watching H
16:24
and H was like yo they started off with
16:26
$300 sales you know and uh even as a
16:29
platform where they allow you to be
16:31
direct to Consumer as an artist you know
16:33
what I'm saying and I wanted to create
16:34
my own price point on my art you know so
16:36
we started the project at uh $10 a
16:40
project we did bundles where we would
16:42
have merch and vinyl and what we made on
16:44
even we needed about a million streams
16:46
to do you know what I'm saying if it was
16:48
any other DSP it was on the DSP you know
16:51
a million streams you know and we were
16:53
just servicing the people that were
16:54
already in tune you know yeah so uh even
16:57
even it's a new so that's the
16:59
alternative to direct Spotify or alpha
17:03
music keep your Pandora cuz that's us
17:06
you know but yeah all right you know for
17:07
the people that are going up on
17:08
streaming it's like you just got to look
17:10
at it like this man if you want to make
17:11
uh $500 you're going to need you know
17:14
north of 150,000 streams you know if you
17:16
know uh 50 people that's willing to
17:18
invest $10 into your craft you've made
17:20
that $500 so as much as you want to just
17:23
build your clout you also want to make
17:24
sure you putting bread in your pocket
17:25
along the way so yeah man Nico Brim he
17:28
wasn't talking this right here when we
17:30
first met him very all right uh Taurus

18:04
second so look it's all about Nico Bri
18:07
right now okay go for it hey I want to
18:09
give uh give him his flowers um right
18:12
now at the tender age whatever he is I
18:14
hear a lot of wisdom in this young king
18:16
and first I just want to say
18:17
congratulations to him to getting where
18:19
the stage re is right now regardless of
18:21
you know just just everything he's put
18:23
into it I got two questions if you allow
18:25
me um first uh J Co and Kendrick I like
18:30
to hear one of his old school
18:32
Inspirations why and new school
18:34
Inspirations why and then the second
18:37
question um that I have is that I heard
18:40
him say something about blocking out the
18:43
noise and regardless generation who you
18:45
are out here we got distractions in life
18:48
things that take our Focus off of our
18:49
goal I want to hear from the young king
18:52
what he does to keep the noise at a
18:55
minimum those are good questions I mean
18:57
my my old school inst irations is uh Nas
19:00
Tribe Called Quest for sure the heavy
19:03
inspiration for me um I would say uh
19:07
little little brother slum Village um
19:10
there you go you hear that Caleb shout
19:13
out
19:14
D you know I'll say Lauren Hill too okay
19:17
um you know and then I would say like
19:19
also from a from a business perspective
19:20
I would say uh you know whole that whole
19:22
Rockefeller movement you know 50 you
19:25
know these were people that you know was
19:27
out the trunk you know I'm saying so yes
19:29
sir those are definitely my old school
19:31
Inspirations and I think like the the
19:33
way that I um I block out the noise is
19:35
is it's the little things man you know
19:37
like I I I Monitor and I filter my
19:40
thoughts you know when I see myself
19:41
start getting into competition I be like
19:43
hold on bro like you you don't need to
19:44
be doing that you know what I'm saying
19:46
when I start my day bro I start my day
19:48
I'm not really you know straight to the
19:49
phone I give myself some time to just
19:52
just I call it download you got to you
19:54
got to get into your day you know what
19:56
I'm saying the moment if you come into
19:57
your day and you immediately seeing
19:59
what's going on bro the world is not
20:01
meant for that you know like I me when I
20:03
was growing up before social media you
20:05
wake up all you had was what was in
20:07
front of you nowadays you just seeing so
20:09
many different uh settings and
20:12
conversations going on that [ __ ] ain't
20:14
good for your mind so I think it's I
20:16
think it's you know it's a little bit of
20:17
that and like I said bro reading like
20:19
people don't want to really read bro but
20:21
yo nip will tell you bro I used to I
20:23
watch so many of them interviews like
20:25
you know you just got to you got to pick
20:26
up game man you got to got to steal
20:28
advice you know and I think that that's
20:31
that's something else man you just got
20:32
to be a active seeker of the knowledge
20:34
bro you don't got to be in school but
20:36
you just got to be willing to to take
20:38
the gems when they give to you you know
20:39
so I always keep an open ear the truth
20:41
can come from anyone's mouth come on now
20:43
