0:37
community medicine to the community our
0:41
voices can be used as tools of healing
0:44
we know that sound people meditate with
0:47
sound at times because of the way your
0:50
metabolism will react yes I believe that
0:53
is true to certain voices I believe that
0:56
when Whitney Houston sang Our
0:58
metabolisms react when artha Franklin
1:01
sang when Luther vandros that's why we
1:04
can hear their voices to this day patty
1:06
patty Lael and we can hear them sing
1:09
something from decades ago and feel
1:11
great like we just heard it for the
1:12
first time I do declare that our next
1:15
guest has that ability he has that gift
1:18
and what I appreciate about him most is
1:21
that I always speak about words matter
1:24
there are power in words and when you
1:26
look at the titles of his project they
1:29
always contain love when you listen to
1:32
what he sings it's always about love I
1:36
want to personally thank this man for
1:38

2:02
do it why not because people don't look
2:04
at always art and music like that I I I
2:09
often talk about this Heather laughs but
2:11
I came I played instruments as a child
2:14
and I understand now that that was uh a
2:16
benefit to me it helped me with my
2:18
reading comprehension mathematics and
2:20
even how I communicate and it definitely
2:22
helped me to become a snazzy dancer
2:24
because I snazzy you know I knew I knew
2:27
you I mean you know I knew rhythm yeah
2:30
right you know you don't sing just to
2:32
hear yourself sing nah it got to make
2:34
you feel good no for sure I mean you
2:37
know if it don't I feel like if it don't
2:39
move me it's not going to move the
2:40
people you know yeah so so you know I
2:44
man you know I put that 10,000 hours in
2:48
10 it's a 10,000 hour effect you know
2:49
what I mean and um and and and the
2:52
beautiful thing about it is I feel like
2:54
I'm just scratching the surface of what
2:55
I can do you know I I I I'm sitting on a
2:58
lot of music and
3:00
been creating a lot over the last you
3:02
know 72 24 months or so in particular
3:06
like I feel I feel like I became a
3:07
master in My Craft um over a period of
3:10
time and I feel like it really like
3:12
really con I started really connecting
3:14
with with self like during Co probably
3:16
like a lot of people you know they call
3:18
it they call it the great res some
3:19
people refer it to as the great reset
3:21
you know what I mean and I feel like uh
3:23
that's when I around that time you know
3:26
like 2020 2019 2020 2021 when I really
3:30
became a master of my craft and my
3:34
Artistry that what makes that so
3:36
interesting and he that we talk about
3:37
this too he said
3:40
2020 right your first album came out 15
3:43
years prior to that right sometimes it
3:45
takes that long and right now and right
3:47
now Frankly Speaking I'm in my season so
3:50
it took me 19 years you know what I mean
3:52
that's true it'll be 20 years that the
3:54
the love experience has been out you
3:56
know next year um this March you know
3:59
this March 20 year anniversary of guess
4:01
guess who loves you more M you know the
4:02
single and uh and yeah you know it just
4:05
speaks to a testament that you know that
4:06
that saying of staying ready so you
4:08
ain't got to get ready is is it is it
4:10
real you know faith and the mustard seed
4:12
and you know um Cat Williams said a lot
4:15
in his in his interviews you know in his
4:18
interview sh sh room interview right one
4:20
of the things that um kind of just stuck
4:22
out to me is like when you go about it
4:24
when you when you don't take the
4:25
shortcut you know what I mean you take
4:27
you take the long way yeah you take the
4:28
long way you know in high school I was a
4:31
distance Runner uh I ran marathons I ran
4:34
you know I was I not not marathons but I
4:38
I was I was a distance Runner you know
4:40
you did cross country cross country yeah
4:42
so that teaches you patience it teaches
4:45
you a lot about yourself and endurance
4:47
so I you know so that speaks to like you
4:49
know I understand the process of like
4:51
this not being a Sprint but more so
4:54
being a marathon you know wow love that
4:57
man that's amazing man coming from you
5:00
were recently
5:01
um on stage with Usher Raymond yeah
5:05
August DC shout out to my bro yeah I was
5:08
uh actually in Chicago when I got the
5:10
call um you know for for the DNC and uh
5:14
you know we flew back to DC to to make
5:16
it happen for the what did he say to you
5:18
did Usher call you N I didn't get a call
5:21
from him directly but we got a chance to
5:22
kick it that day and we we worked
5:24
together on previous albums and um yeah
5:28
man you know to be able to be able to
5:29
come out in the city and and and you
5:31
know he he was adamant about making sure
5:33
that um at least for one of the shows
5:35
that he did in the city that you know he
5:37
brought out the kings of the city you
5:38
know what I mean so to be able to uh you
5:40
know to be able to share the stage with
5:42
him you know I think that it speaks a
5:44
lot to his character uh he definitely
5:46
knows who he is he knows he's Usher you
5:48
know what I mean but but every time I've
5:50
encountered him man it's been a like
5:51
humble energy yeah man know um um and uh
5:55
and I think the most impressive thing of
5:57
course the show was incredible um the
6:00
fact that not only did he brought my
6:01
brought myself out but W and um sugar
6:04
bear from EU um you know I I think I
6:08
think it it it was the fact to see how
6:10
many people he was employing for the
6:12
night for me speak on that like so I
6:15
mean so you know so you know with Tor
6:17
and and the trailers I think man they
6:18
probably had about 30 30 trailers wow
6:22
you know I'm I'm I'm pretty sure it's
6:24
probably over 100 employees for the
6:26
night you know what I mean like so I
6:28
think that that that was the most thing
6:30
that that for me that was the the thing
6:31
that was most inspiring and impressive
6:34
and to see you know even in this you
6:36
know the talks of this economy and where
6:38
we are you know um and to be able to see
6:41
that like yo this this this young black
6:45
man yeah is empowering you know and
6:48
providing uh you know for for all these
6:51
different uh households you know that's
6:54
because you know Co was a very for for
6:56
artists in particular like you know we
6:58
didn't know if we were going to be a be
6:59
to be back outside and perform and you
7:02
know the the the connection the human
7:04
connection is uh is a very important
7:07
thing for us you know as as as as
7:09

a period of my life where I've given so
21:40
much to other people and focused on
21:43
other things not just and this is is
21:45
above and beyond like dating that um you
21:49
know being in your season and
21:50
recognizing that you're in your season
21:52
like happiness requires selfishness and
21:55
I'm and and I have to be selfish with
21:57
what it is that I want right now and
22:00
what I want to see happen primarily with
22:02
my career you know what I mean um so
22:06
anybody who has a T and and I'm saying
22:08
that you can't have necessarily like a
22:10
partner when you're doing that but it
22:12
requires a right partner you know what I
22:14
mean um I'm a I'm a I'm a type my
22:17
personality type person I am I believe
22:19
you should protect the things that you
22:20
love you know what I mean so at all
22:23
costs M you know um because people not
22:26
happy for you A lot of times you know
22:29
what I mean in a relationship I mean
22:30
whatever like people like whatever that
22:32
is you protect it at all cost you know
22:34
what I'm saying so so I never been in
22:36
the guy that you know necessarily plas
22:38
plaster this is who I'm dating or hey
22:41
here are my kids and because people
22:43
crazy like you know saying it's a
22:44
different climate you know what I mean
