Everyone who is here live in Los Angeles
0:02
for the Sway in the Morning Garage
0:04
series. Everyone who is listening on
0:06
air, everybody who is at home, I just
0:09
discovered an artist personally who I
0:11
know I'm going to be returning to many,
0:14
many times because one, he's from the
0:17
continent, Ugandan born, representing
0:20
Missouri, however, but he transcends so
0:25
many different genres. There's a blend
0:27
of afro beats. There's also some guitar.
0:30
There's R&B. And when you listen to his
0:32
lyricism, it literally sounds like he
0:35
has a confession that he just wants to
0:38
share with you. Like his secrets are
0:40
really just for your ears. And so I'm
0:44
very very proud to bring to the stage
1:05
with the fresh corn. I appreciate them.
1:08
The cornbreads are fresh.
1:12
Ladies already talking about your
1:16
No, thank you guys for having me.
1:28
beautiful when you are, bro. Yeah, that
1:29
was a beautiful silence right there,
1:31
though. That That was poetic, right?
1:36
Yeah. My name is Subie
1:38
and this song is called Kra.
1:54
She went and told their friends that I
2:05
more people got out of advice for
2:06
murder. Others may go and conf
2:20
Oh yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah.
2:27
Watch them turn bit sucking from the
2:30
pain that my brothers deliver. I want to
2:32
know why nobody told me I shouldn't have
2:37
But it's the things we do follow.
2:43
All the things we don't fall off.
2:48
All the dreams we conjure up.
2:53
Tell me why I can't keep up.
2:58
Cuz girls want freedom and girls want
3:00
passion. As you love with an ounce of
3:03
infraction. Talking about a breezy form
3:05
of affection. I bet she going to pay the
3:08
price for love. But she going to give it
3:11
all for us. But she going to wait and
3:14
wait for timing. But she going to give
3:16
you peace of mind. But oh n cuz you just
3:24
You just want to go with matching color.
3:27
You just want to go with another. I'm
3:30
just trying to get easy streaking down
3:33
and be easy. But in the end all position
3:39
So hard yet simple at the same time.
3:46
All at the same time.
3:51
Oh, why you doing me like this? Why you
3:55
taking me I thought you wanted
3:58
love like this. Oh, baby.
4:02
They already told me that you want a bad
4:04
boy. They already told me that you want
4:06
to settle. They already told me you
4:08
don't want no stagnance. They already
4:10
told me you want to take some violence.
4:13
Why you wildly running around talking
4:14
about running apartments, calling me
4:16
out, breaking up with all that nonsense.
4:18
Baby, watching my brown like that.
4:23
I'm talking about the things we do for
4:29
All the things we do for love.
4:40
Tell me why it can't be in the
4:52
That's the way to kick it off.
4:54
Yeah. Next song I'm going to do is
4:56
called Growth and it's a time to touch
4:58
on what my experiences are with love and
5:00
loss. And I hope it speaks to you. Thank
5:17
When I told you that you're perfect,
5:20
take holding on a minute.
5:24
Lost staring through my surface.
5:27
Girl, tell me is it worth it?
5:31
Withdraws up on my bases. Cuz
5:34
you're the one that I miss.
5:38
Oh, I'm better like this. You know I
5:44
Cuz I don't know how.
5:49
I don't know where we went wrong.
5:52
I gave my best, you gave yours.
5:55
Trying to leave alone. Never know.
6:02
Oh, I'm not ready to go home alone
6:06
or living my life on my own. Oh, but I
6:10
guess now's time to let go.
6:29
You made me feel like a G. When I said
6:32
I'm a pleas trying to love you. Oh, I
6:35
lose my mind. Breaking rules every
6:38
night. Trying to make sure your mind
6:40
watching them seasons change while we
6:42
stuck up in our way. They have the day
6:46
up on me. I guess now's the time. I
6:49
guess now's the time. I guess not the
6:52
time for us. I don't know how.
6:57
And I don't know where we belong.
7:01
Oh, I give my best to give you
7:10
Oh. Oh. I'm not ready to go home alone
7:14
or living my life on my own. Oh, but I
7:18
guess it's time to let go.
7:24
Oh, I play a fool. Even in a younger
7:37
God knows I'm the best you going ever. I
7:42
gave you the choice. You said you'll be
7:51
Oh, baby, I guess now's the time.
7:56
I guess not the time, baby.
8:06
I guess now's the time.
8:09
I guess now's the time.
8:21
Hold up. I got to hug this guy. I just
8:23
want to hug you, man. You keep going,
8:24
man. I love you, bro.
8:25
He's on your faves list now. Yep.
8:27
Give it up for Subie, man.
8:31
Somebody take a picture with me and him
8:33
right now because this this ain't going
8:38
He did that. One, two, three.
8:42
You're a powerful artist.
8:44
You You came in here. How many people
8:46
knew him before he stepped on this
8:49
Exactly. How many people know him now?
8:56
You sing about pain like you just struck
8:59
out in every relationship you ever had.
9:03
Where does that come from? How are you
9:05
able to bring that emotion to words?
9:09
I don't know. I think I grew up in a
9:11
very music musically oriented family and
9:15
um you know I like talking about the
9:17
fact that my mother's water broke while
9:23
and I'm like a little superstitious
9:24
about that and I feel like it's a very
9:27
spiritual thing for me. So,
9:29
um, like I wrote my first song at the
9:32
age of 11 and it's been my only means of
9:36
expressing myself in ways I can't really
9:37
express myself with words, you know. So,
9:41
it just so happens that songs like these
9:43
come out and um, you know, I think it's
9:46
a very spiritual thing.
9:50
We feel it. I was watching the crowd.
9:52
They went from huh zoinks to just like
9:55
just begging to hear what you say next,
9:58
you know, which I thought was
9:59
fascinating. Tracy, you was transfixed.
10:02
Yes, I was. That is a beautiful term
10:04
that I connect with. Um
10:07
because you're just able to be so raw
10:11
and vulnerable and it doesn't feel
10:14
performative in any way. and knowing
10:18
that you were born in Uganda and you're
10:22
but also finding out that you create all
10:25
of your music within your bedroom. You
10:27
have like this one man universe.
10:29
That you've created for yourself. And
10:31
I'm wondering if that is a contributing
10:35
factor to the intimacy we all experience
10:39
Oh yeah, definitely is. Definitely is.
10:44
yeah like all that time you spend cuz
10:47
it's taken me a very long time coming to
10:49
this very moment. I started producing at
10:51
the age of 12 and uh you know when you
10:55
have all that time on your hands
10:57
it's very hard know to be very
11:00
introspective and very look inward. It's
11:03
like it's just inevitable. It's always
11:06
I love it man. Uh thank you for agreeing
11:10
No thank you for having me.
11:12
Absolutely, man. We We're your allies.
11:14
Heather, did you want to say anything?
11:20
I'm healing right now. I feel your pain.
11:22
I'm healing, too, bro. I got you. You
11:25
Yeah. She got a cold, so she needs
11:27
healing. You guys give it up for Subie.
11:30
Check out his music, brother. You got
11:32
it, man. Thank you, family.
11:34
Thank you, brother. Come on, man. I've
11:36
seen a lot, too, man. Thank you, man. I
11:39
know. I know to take the picture up
