His name is October in London, and he's about to do some things you never thought that could be done
0:06
So enjoy Shad in the Dark in October in London. Yeah, man, that's Snoop Dogg, one of the most recognizable voices, respected entertainers
0:16
down-to-earth people, most successful men, consistent individual that you could come across
0:23
is the legendary Snoop Dogg. So if Snoop put his stamp on it, you've got to take it seriously
0:29
For real. And when Snoop first put his stamp on this young man, I took it seriously
0:35
So I did my deep dive. And I'm going to tell you something, citizens on this show, everybody, you know, everybody that comes up here may not be someone you necessarily know
0:44
Right. Sometimes we like to find those diamonds in the rough or those those people who have been creating foundations for quite some time
0:52
in the case of our next guest, at least since 2016, when he put out that Colorblind Love Project
0:59
is when he really first introduced himself to the world. And you hear this dude's vocals
1:03
and the vocals remind you of Otis Redding or remind you of Teddy Pendergrass
1:09
or that soulful, gritty, hot water cornbread, turkey neck in the pot
1:16
With the gravy! With the gravy, you know, biscuits. You're swapping it with the biscuits
1:20
That kind of soul, you don't get a lot of that. You'll get the prototype, but you don't always get the genuine authenticity that you get from this man
1:34
He has a cool name. I don't know if it's his birth name, but it definitely works
1:38
I want to welcome him to the show. The one and only October London is here
1:43
October London. Thank you. Thank you. I appreciate being here. Welcome, welcome
1:47
I will wait for you. That's my joint. That's my joint, man
1:52
How's that? Hey, sound good. Okay, thank you, bro. Okay, you got Snoop all over this project
1:58
Might as well have you on it, yeah. Man, tell us about yourself. You're from Indiana
2:02
Yeah, I'm from South Bend, Indiana. Okay, well. So how far south from, where did Jackson's come up
2:09
Gary. Gary, how far south from Gary? About 45 minutes. 45 minutes
2:14
I believe so. Yeah. So where'd your start happen? A start happened, actually
2:19
Man, well, I mean, obviously the big start started with Snoop. But, you know, I've always just been around my family doing music, stuff like that
2:26
But I started in South Bend, started on Fruity Loop, started making beats, you know, production and all that kind of stuff
2:31
And then, yeah, I just kind of gradually just kept moving and kept moving and kept grinding
2:36
And, yeah, I ended up meeting Snoop. Nah, you skipped a whole lot. Right
2:39
I'm like, how can I tell you? I'm like, how do I, you know, put it? Well, tell your story, brother
2:44
That's why you're here. So you went to Fruity Loops, so you're doing that in your bedroom
2:48
Yeah, doing that in the bedroom. Obviously, you're not in a professional studio. No, no, no, no
2:52
Not at all. I'm in the dining room at my boy's house. Okay, with headphones on. With headphones on, yeah
2:56
Making beats on a laptop. Making beats. Making beats. I started writing a little bit and all that, and I was trash at that
3:01
I couldn't write for nothing. Okay. So I was real trash at that
3:05
So I gave that up. Went back to producing, started producing for, you know, artists that were coming up in South Bend and stuff like that
3:10
Started doing that. Who were those artists? Like, who did you think was great
3:15
Man, it was so many artists. Man, I don't know. They're not even around anymore, to be honest
3:21
Well, they stopped there. Oh, they stopped. They either stopped or they're no longer on earth anymore
3:27
You know, those artists, they kind of got stuck in different positions, whether it was, you know, selling drugs or whether it was, you know
3:33
doing the drugs or whatnot. So they're all gone. So South Bend has that kind of environment
3:38
No, South Bend's pretty clean because it's a college town. You know what I'm saying? It's Notre Dame. You know, go Irish, go Notre Dame
3:44
You know what I'm saying? Okay. Was music what kept you out of trouble? Yeah, I mean, I wasn't really
3:50
I saw what it was doing to other people, so I just really wasn't into it. I wasn't into doing anything
3:55
I was chasing women. I was chasing girls on the block. Yeah, yeah, yeah
4:00
I was doing that, you know what I'm saying? So what was the spark to even get into music
4:06
Was that something that your family was into? Was it so you could grab more girls? At first it was because I thought it was just cool
4:13
You know, I sang for my grandmother, an audience of one. I sang Michael Bolton, When a Man Loves a Woman, for my grandmother
4:18
She was elated by it. I was just like, oh, this is cool. Maybe I could make a couple other people
4:23
And then family would come over and be like, Jared was singing. You know, my real name's Jared. It's in October. So, Jared was singing with Les Hirems
4:29
I'd do that, and then more people would like it and whatnot. And then, you know, my dad plays guitar
4:33
My mom could sing. My uncles could sing, all that kind of stuff. Yeah, and what time in your life is this happening
4:38
Is it high school? Is it Pulse High School? Yeah, yeah, this is around the time
4:43
Yeah, this is a little after. Well, that, what I was just talking about, was way before. I was like eight, you know what I'm saying
4:48
But then the Fruity Loops part, that was when I was like 15, 16. Got it
4:52
Okay, what was your approach? And this is a really important question
4:56
maybe the most important question you ever asked. What was your approach when you went to pick up on women
5:02
I'm just curious, how did you do it? It was terrible. It was the legendary
5:07
I still don't have games. You still don't got that? No, man. All you got to do is say, I will wait for you
5:14
For your love. For your love. Yeah, you know. But after I, you know, women started coming around or girls at that time started coming around
5:21
oh, you sing? And I'm like, oh, I just walk up to them and start singing. Boom. Damn
5:25
You can't lose like that. Listen. Harmonies. Harmonies. So you in October London
5:31
You know, Adrian, by the way, the people that are surrounding you are my brothers. So we live together
5:37
We love together. We fight each other. We've been through the full gamut. He's told me a few stories
5:41
When I first went to L.A., Adrian let me sleep at his home, but on the floor
5:47
You know what I mean? But I was under the roof. He didn't give you the spare bedroom or nothing, just the floor
5:53
But between him and Troy Marshall, these are two of the most knowledgeable people you can surround yourself with in this business who are going to be open and fair
6:01
I'm not sure of the relations, but they really – that's how I found out about you, right
6:06
So how did October London, how did you become October London? I became October London
6:11
I had several names prior. I called myself because my middle name is Samuel. You don't find out a lot about me right now
6:15
So my middle name is Samuel, so I was going as like Sam Martin because my mother's maiden name is Martin
6:20
I was going by that. I went by J. Martin because my name's Jared, so I switched it up
6:25
And right before I met Snoop, I changed my name. I was like, man, I don't like the name anymore
6:31
I'm going to change it to October because my birthday is October 17th. Okay. And then I got this TV screen above my laptop or my Mac
6:40
and pictures of certain vibes I a real vibey person so a picture of London popped up And I was like man October London And I yelled up to my boy Neil I was like hey man what do you think
6:51
You think October London sounds good? He was like, yeah. I was like, cool, that's my name now. Damn, just like that
6:56
That was deep. Yeah, right, right, right, right. So I was like, yeah, that's it
6:59
So if you had said no, you wouldn't have stuck? What did you think? I probably would have, because I like to go against them all the time
7:05
Okay, all right. October London is here. We're going to play another song. But I'm curious, there are a lot of artists who have been around a Snoop or somebody of that stature and want to get recognized
7:17
A lot of times, it's a right and there's definitely wrong ways to approach someone like Snoop, right
7:23
What was your approach to Snoop and how did that happen? Yeah, well, I met Snoop through Jazzy Faye
7:29
So a friend of mine. Jazzy Faye, the legendary producer Jazzy Faye
7:33
Shout out to Jazzy. A friend of mine in South Bend knew somebody that knew of him
7:37
And I ended up getting the number And I was like hey Jazzy I got some records for
7:42
2 Chainz, for TI For all these people and all that And then I kind of slipped in Colorblind
7:47
Colorblind song was already done Slipped in Colorblind, he was like okay I'll check it out
7:51
You know I'm getting on the plane or what not So he got on the plane, I didn't know he was going to see Snoop
7:55
He never told me that So he went to go see him And I'm thinking while him and Snoop were in the studio
8:00
Snoop was probably rolling up And he played the record for him
8:03
He played other songs but he played that Colorblind song and Snoop was like, yo, where is this kid at
8:08
And he was like, he's in Indiana. He was like, Indiana. You know, he was like, he's not in L.A
8:12
He's like, no, he's in Indiana. So then he called me a night or two before the Super Bowl in 2016
8:18
Damn. And was like, yo, I got to have you here, man. I was like, cool. So he flew me out March 16, 2016
8:23
It was a wrap. That's it, huh? That's it. Was it, were you nervous
8:27
Like, did you not want to say the wrong thing? Right. Because you could have blew it with your personality
8:31
Did you get a heads up that he was calling? I could have, you know, but nah
8:35
I did get a heads up because he called me, so I was like, Jazzy never told me
8:40
He's just like, I'm not going to tell you who's going to call you, but they're real big
8:44
And I'm like, okay, cool. All right, whatever. And he was just down to earth because Snoop is a Libra too, so we get along
8:50
Oh, that's what you do. Yeah, as soon as we met, he was, oh, what up, nephew? I'm like, oh, what up, huh
8:54
That was it. It was never a, oh, I'm nervous. I was like, if I get this one shot, I'm from Indiana
9:01
I'm an Indiana kid. And we did it. he played a beat and I did it just like that
9:06
Wow. And he was ready. You were ready. Yeah. Preparation. The first song we did was called top down
9:12

13:52
All right. Hey, Curtis, thanks for your call. You're a super citizen, man. We appreciate you. And with Curtis calling in October, I have this question for you
14:00
because I'm from a small town as well in Lansing, Michigan. I'm curious because everyone thinks that they have to move to the coast
14:05
either New York or LA, in order to make it. But you made it being in Indiana
14:09
How did you make that connection to Jazzy Faye to get that opportunity to where you are today, so this way in the morning
14:15
Yeah, well, I mean, a lot of people don't know that I had quit music
14:19
I was done. Before the whole Jazzy Faye thing, maybe, I don't know, probably a week prior or something like that
14:25
I had already, I had given up. I was like, man, forget it. I'm just, I was about to be, I was a week away from being a truck driver
14:30
I was already getting done with truck driving school. Wow. I was done
14:34
So I was about to go work, you know, do the whole, you know, on the road trucking thing
14:38
all that kind of stuff. So, and God was like, nah, man, I told you, just sit still
14:43
And I'm like, oh, I got to make money. I got to make money. I got to make money. And, you know, just to be, you know, regular citizen, do the nine to five thing, all that
14:50
And yeah, I ended up getting that, you know, getting that connection to Jazzy
14:54
But how? Like a phone call? Yeah, a friend of mine knew someone that knew him
14:59
And then we had talked to her, and she automatically gave us a number like
15:04
okay, cool, I heard his music, I think Jazzy would like it, and gave it to him or gave me the number, and then I hit him up
15:09
text him, was like, yo, I got some records for you. And then I just didn't know that he was going to see Snoop during that time
15:14
so it just worked out perfectly. I was a couple days from graduating truck driving school
15:20
Wow. Crazy. My goodness. And then fate stepped in. Fate stepped in, yeah. October, you spoke about how initially when you started writing, you said that you sucked
15:28
And you immediately just crumbled up the paper and tossed it. But obviously your writing game improved insanely
15:35
Talk about how that relationship changed and what routine you put yourself on to improve those skills, to sharpen them
15:41
Well, that goes back to Travis. Travis is a huge hip-hop head
15:44
He's huge. I think he's one of the best lyricists that I know. There's two people that I know that are the craziest lyricists
15:50
It's Walter West, which he'll meet at some point. me and him got music out and then me and then travis so sitting around him how he wrote helped
15:57
me get better because he's just he's just intricate with his with his word play and just how he thinks
16:03
and then being around walter west as well being around them just made me better as as time went on
16:08
um and then listening to old school artists like getting this feel for old school and doing this i
16:13
got it from ronald eisley i got it from teddy pendergrass i got it from marvin gay just listening
16:18
their runs and everything, but not trying to do too much to be just like them, but just
16:23
enough to take that ooh and put it here and put a little that on it or this
16:28
And that's how that's how the old school vibe. That's how Rebirth was really made because I freestyle Rebirth of Marvin
16:33
The Rebirth of Marvin. That was a Billboard topping project, right? Yeah
16:37
Nine weeks on Billboard. Yeah. You freestyled that album? I freestyled. Back to your place is a freestyle
16:42
Wow. Really? Yeah. Off the top? Off the top. Just going up to the mic
16:46
Oh, baby, I've been thinking about you. And then stepping back. Well, hold up
16:51
Hold up, hold up. Hold up one second. Right. Let's see how to do that now
16:56
Hold up. Let me throw some names on a piece of paper. You know, a little Tracy G, a little Heather B, a little Mike Mills
17:01
Way in the morning. Yep. With Heather B. Okay. Thank you, DB
17:06
DB came through with the Sharpie. Might as well add DB's name. Yeah. That's why he did it
17:10

17:15

17:40
Within the past I say year or so haven't really seen you visually out here
17:47
which is cool because you're not oversaturating people. You know what I mean? People hear you, and then they catch on
17:52
and then they fly with you. They're not, you know, eating every two seconds. You're not on every hook
17:56
You're not on all these TikTok videos. I appreciate your voice. Me being from Detroit, bro, I got down with the Motown
18:02
and when I heard your voice, it took me back to my childhood. So I appreciate your voice
18:06
I appreciate you. You're not oversaturated yet, but, you know, I'm sure people are going to get on to you
18:14
And no, no, you know how it is. Once somebody hears you, it goes and then it kind of goes away
18:20
But I appreciate you, bro. And I like how you came up
18:23
And I want to continue seeing you, you know what I'm saying, thrive out here in the industry, bro. Man, thank you
18:27
I appreciate that. Man, that's great, man. You get a lot of good props, too. And it's coming from men when I know you got a big female base
18:33
Yeah. That says a lot. But when men are complimenting you singing about love, that's kind of solid
18:38
You're allowing us to be vulnerable. Right. And we're loving it. Yeah, thank you
18:42
So when I sing, you know, I will wait for you. It feels good
18:48
I could do it if you feel good. It feels liberated. Right, right, right. You're like, oh, you're liberated. Yes, dog

18:57
October London is here, right? And so you also was one of the creators on an animation with Snoop, right

21:35
well, not even perplexed, But I noticed that when you, from your first album, Colorblind Love
21:44
and then when you get, by the time you get to Crypto Writer, the dubstep house album, I've heard five different genres
21:53
within four different projects, right? Crypto Winner? Yeah, Crypto Winner was crazy
21:57
That was crazy. And I'm a house dude. I'm a deep-rooted house guy. Oh
22:01
Yeah, yeah, we go way back. Louis Vega remixed songs for me and King Tech back in the day
22:06
That's how deep we go. Okay, okay. Don't play with me, I'll tell you. I said, don't play
22:09
You might know something, but you don't know everything. I know a little bit of something. What was your thought process
22:15
Because the music business is, you know, it's boxed in a lot
22:20
It's very marginalized in terms of genres and columns. Everything is in columns
22:25
When you used to go to record stores, it's this column, it's that column. Radio stations, a column
22:30
Playlist, a column. yeah you know and um but to step into every genre what where was it hard to find roots with an
22:38
audience no i think it was actually pretty uh pretty surprising that people liked the other
22:45
genres i was putting out because you know you know you do big label stuff and all that you know
22:50
the labels are like no you you do this genre and you do this until you die or you do this
22:54
we don't want to switch it up we don't want to do this and that's why i love being with with death throw and being with larry jackson at gamma because they're allowing me to be creative and
23:01
have that creative control you know i'm saying so and like i said snoop loves it he's like yeah let's
23:06
do do country do pop let's do it all let me just hear it and i do it he's just like oh man how are
23:10
we gonna put this out and we will figure it out but um i kind of treat music like i don't know if
23:16
i should put it like this but i kind of treat music like rental cars i want to keep switching
23:21
out of them switching up so i don't want to get too bored with something you know i'm saying so
23:25
I'm going to give you one more of these rebirths that I'm working on right now. I'm in the studio working on it right now
23:29
Which artists? Can you say? No, it's, I got some Rick James elements
23:34
Okay. You know what I'm saying? I got a little bit more Ronald Isley in it. Okay. It's got some Marvin in it, of course
23:39
It's going to have that. I think the intro is a lot of Marvin in it
23:43
I'm working on it though now. But, you know, after I do that, I'm going to switch it up
23:46
Like I do country. I do pop. I do reggaeton. I do all that. And I'm producing it
23:51
All these, I'm producing it. I'm mixing it. I'm mastering it. I'm writing it
23:55
I got a couple of writers, which is a couple of my day ones, which are at the hotel right now
24:00
They'll write a couple with me, and that's it. I don't do too much
24:05
And I like to be in the studio by myself. Just let me get it done. I don't need to be in the studio for four hours, ten hours
24:10
working on one record. I knock out records really quick. Have you met Tank and these guys
24:14
I have met Tank. Me and Tank are actually working on a record right now. Tank is working on, say, Valentine
24:20
You do R&B Money podcast yet? No, I haven't. They need to get you up there. Yeah
24:24
Yeah. This is amazing. You worked with Faith Evans before? Yeah. Right
24:28
I think me and her did a song called You Bring Me Up on the Colorblind. On the Colorblind Project
24:32
Yeah. All right. Okay. What does colorblind mean? It's just being colorblind to haters or criticism or, you know, even, you know, getting in people's
24:43
love lives where this person wants to date this person or whatnot, whether it's same
24:47
whatever. Just do you. Just be happy. That's it. You know? Treat life like how I'm treating music
24:52
Just be happy with it. If I get bored with doing this, I'm going to go do something else. Just be happy
24:57
You only get one life. Every day is going to have to be drama filled
25:02
You know who you should work with? Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis. I'm getting more his day from his creativity
25:07
I'm thinking he should do some New Jack Swing-ish. You know what I mean
25:11
Bring that back. I'm down. I'm down. It'd take me a week to do it
25:15
That's it. I only did. Rebirth of Martin was done in a week. You single

25:36

25:40
