I can hear when it's special. It's
0:40
something in my ear. God gave me this
0:42
gift. I can hear it. My ear lobes start

start tingling when I know it's
0:46
something special.
0:47
Come on. I watch people. I watch them a
0:49
lot. I've been watching him for years.
0:51
This our first time really doing this,
0:52
Tracy G. We talked last year during the
0:54
pandemic, but what it was a over the
0:56
phone conversation. And it was still a
0:58
great conversation.
1:00
Yep.
1:01
You know, that pandemic was it was
1:03
treacherous, man. It was horrible.
1:05

1:27
Let's talk about it, man. Let's talk
1:28
about it, man. I'm I'm I'm very proud of
1:30
you. Thank you. Uh we talked about this
1:32
last year on on a on on our
1:34
conversation. We talked about how
1:36
certain people from the Bay had to leave
1:38
the Bay in order to make it.
1:39
Yes, sir. And while you're doing that,
1:41
man, people they know you're doing
1:43
something, but they don't always
1:44
acknowledge it.
1:45
For sure.
1:45
You've experienced that, right?
1:47
I've been experiencing a lot of it. Um
1:49
sometimes people feel like um when they
1:52
don't understand things, they don't know
1:53
how to support it. Mhm. Yeah. You know
1:55
what I mean? And um always watched us as
1:57
Bay Area artists hit this ceiling. Yeah.
2:00
You know what I mean? We always hit this
2:01
ceiling and I and I noticed that as a
2:03
kid I had a course size to a lot of
2:05
people's success. I had a course size
2:07
seat to a lot of people's failures. And
2:09
I always said when I get my time, I'm
2:11
going to make sure I expand this thing
2:12
to where it can open up for all of us.
2:14
Mhm. So I appreciate all of us that's
2:16
going crazy right now that's trying to
2:18
not hit that ceiling. Shout out my
2:20
brother La Russell.
2:21
Come on, La Russell. You see what
2:22
they're doing. My brother Rex Life Raj.
2:24
Come on, he was just here. Come on.
2:26
Shout out Lil Caleb. Come on, man.
2:28
what I mean? Everybody Give it up for
2:30
Jay Rock. Give it up for Ian Kelly. Give
2:32
it up for ST Spittin. Come on. P-Lo,
2:35
let's give it up. Like Jay Stalin, let's
2:37
give it up.
2:39
Come on, Kamaiyah.
2:40
to Kamaiyah, even though she was mad at
2:42
me, but shout out to Kamaiyah.
2:43
wait hold up. You know she be
2:45
She got caught with a gun recently. You
2:46
don't want her mad at you, brother.
2:49
She was mad at me, but I got love for
2:51
Kamaiyah.
2:51
Why? Uh it was just a misunderstanding
2:54
with my last video. I think a lot of
2:56
people was saying I was from Oakland and
2:58
I shot the video in Oakland.
3:00
And a lot of people felt like I was
3:02
saying I'm from Oakland. I'm not from
3:03
Oakland.
3:03
Where are you from, really?
3:04
I'm from Berkeley and I grew up in
3:06
Antioch. They tripping on that?
3:07
Yeah, you know how it be. That's it's a
3:09
block that
3:11
separate Berkeley from North Oakland.
3:12
Exactly. And the reason I did it in
3:14
Oakland is because when you speak of the
3:16
Bay Area around the world, what's the
3:18
main two cities people know?
3:19
Oakland and San Francisco.
3:21
So I wanted to highlight the Bay Area as
3:23
a whole. It wasn't about me saying I was
3:25
from Oakland, but we talked about it.
3:26
It's all love, you know what I mean?
3:28
Oh, y'all got into it over that?
3:29
Yeah. Yeah. She She's passionate about
3:32
her city.
3:32
Absolutely. I understand it. Like I
3:34
understand it. Like she's passionate
3:36
about where she come from. A lot of
3:37
people appropriate the culture. Mhm. You
3:40
know what I mean? They come out there
3:41
and don't give back. So I understand
3:42
where she was coming from. You know what
3:44
I mean? But we talked about it and got
3:45
it out the way. You You in this song.
3:47
Okay, good. Y'all good. So we got a
3:48
Kamaiyah uh Symba collaboration coming
3:51
out.
3:51
Kamaiyah. I don't know if the collab is
3:52
coming. We got to talk to her about
3:54
that, but shout out to Kamaiyah.
3:55
Okay, well I'll play it. If y'all do the
3:57
collab, I'll play it first.
3:58
it happen.
3:59
You talked about uh Keedar said you
4:01
don't sound like Yeah, man.
4:03
So let me explain. He said this in his
4:05
lyric from the song Overnight. This is
4:07
what happened in the Bay a lot.
4:08
Yep. Even when King Tech and I were
4:10
coming up, it's always give me a chance
4:11
to put our story in. I'm piggybacking
4:13
off you. Come on.
4:15
We couldn't really succeed like we
4:17
wanted to in the Bay cuz of the style of
4:19
music we made, even though we had a lot
4:21
of songs on the radio. And outside of
4:23
the Bay, we toured everywhere. I toured
4:25
as far as the East Coast. But in the
4:26
Bay, it wasn't necessarily that. And I
4:29
would get things like you don't sound
4:31
like you're from Oakland.
4:32
Yeah. Or you don't sound like this.
4:34
Keedar, you mentioned by name in this
4:37
song, said what to you when you was
4:38
putting out music in the Bay?
4:40
So um Keedar was the music director of
4:42
He was He was the program director at
4:45
KMEL for a minute. Bernard. And um
4:48
at the time I was a young up-and-coming
4:50
artist and I would notice I come from
4:52
that that time of where like you
4:54
remember when people do music and then
4:57
you'll see somebody doing one thing, so
4:59
you'll try to find how to be original
5:01
your own way and go to the other way.
5:03
that? Yeah, today is different to where
5:06
it's like whatever you can duplicate
5:08
what people like already, they just
5:10
going to throw you into the playlist and
5:11
now it's just a it's just a list of
5:13
things that they want to hear. So the
5:15
discovery process is all [ __ ] up. So
5:18
being in the Bay,
5:19
I always realized like damn, we we kind
5:21
of trapped in this hyphy sound. Mhm.
5:24
Like we got this stain on us to where
5:25
people just think we all yolk our cars
5:27
and got dreads and swang and do all
5:29
this. And I was like, man, I want to
5:31
expand further than that. So I used to
5:34
travel a lot because my parents was in
5:36
the real estate. So my mom used to move
5:38
around from New Jersey to New York,
5:40
Atlantic City, uh Texas, Las Vegas. And
5:44
I would see a lot. And when I would move
5:45
around, I would notice like damn,
5:48
people don't really listen to our music
5:50
out here the way we do because it don't
5:52
relate.
5:53
Right? They're not understanding what
5:55
yolking a car is. They're not
5:56
understanding what a sideshow is.
5:58
They're not understanding what hyphy is.
5:59
They're not understanding our culture.
6:01
So my whole thing was like, man, when I
6:03
get my shot, I'mma be that Bay person
6:05
that can explain the culture in a
6:07
universal way. From my music to my
6:09
conversation to the way I dress to the
6:11
way I represent myself. And I hit a lot
6:14
of hurdles trying to do that because a
6:15
lot of people felt like I thought I was
6:17
better than the Bay or I thought I was
6:19
You You literally got that? People said
6:21
that?
6:21
people they think that to this day.
6:23
A lot of people think that to this day
6:24
and it's not that at all. I'm just
6:25
trying to expand this. I'm just trying
6:27
to get us further because the Bay is a
6:29
it's a melting pot.
6:30
Uh-huh.
6:30
We cook up a lot of culture. Yeah.
6:32
A lot of people get our culture from
6:34
different countries, different states.
6:36
They take our culture and they run with
6:37
it and they commercialize it, but
6:39
sometimes we don't reap the benefits of
6:41
that because we stuck.
6:42
What do you think that is? Because
6:43
nobody's bigger than the Bay. Like
6:45
nobody's bigger than hip-hop. You know,
6:47
we all come from the Look Look at all
6:48
the big names that come from the Bay. We
6:51
humbled our we humble ourselves
6:53
when we land in the Bay. But what is
6:55
that mindset in the Bay that does that?
6:59
I feel like what it is is um and this is
7:02
my opinion. I'm not saying I'm right.
7:04
Um I feel like we have
7:07
a lack of infrastructure. Okay.
7:10
Right? And by having a lack of
7:11
infrastructure, we feel like it's only a
7:13
certain amount of seats that come with
7:14
success. Mhm.
7:16
So we think when one person is winning,
7:18
that takes their seat. Mhm. You know, we
7:20
think when one person get money, it's
7:22
taking money out of their pocket when in
7:24
all actuality it's enough money and it's
7:25
enough seats for all of us to win.
7:27
Of course. So that's why it's important
7:29
for me to come up here and shout out my
7:30
brother La Russell. Okay.
7:32
You know what I mean? Because I'm
7:33
shouting out my brother Rex Life Raj
7:35
because we out here pushing and we all
7:37
got an opportunity to represent the Bay.
7:39
You don't see um we was talking about
7:42
this the other day. People always
7:43
talking about like Atlanta, right?
7:45
Atlanta, they stick together. They do
7:47
They got issues over there. They go
7:49
through things. The things is they don't
7:51
publicize it as much as we do. So we
7:53
publicize our issues and we make it a
7:55
world-known thing to where it kind of
7:58
it traps us to where we can't run
8:00
together. So I feel like anytime any
8:02
young artist from the Bay, any
8:04
up-and-coming uh film director, like the
8:07
person that shoot all my videos, he from
8:09
the Bay. Okay. You know what I mean? I
8:10
always try to link up with somebody from
8:12
the Bay so we can expand the culture.
8:14
It's not just about what I can do or
8:16
what La Russell could do or what Rex
8:18
Life could do. It's about what we can
8:19
all come together and do for the Bay as
8:21
a whole. And that's what I'm trying to
8:23
That's what you on right now.
8:24
That's what I'm on. Come on, Symba's
8:25
here, man. Y'all stop playing with him.
8:26
Come on. Stop playing with him. Come on.
8:29
He said it. And you did that.
8:31
You did that.
8:32
I did that. You You You You No, you did
8:35
what I'm talking about. You left the Bay
8:37
and you came to another spot and you
8:39
expanded what we stand for.
8:41
That's true.
8:42
Every time we look at you, we see a Bay
8:44
person. So Bay.
8:45
You see a Bay man. We see somebody that
8:47
we all look up to, but you on this side
8:49
holding it down. We need more of that.
8:51
We need the Bay to be in Atlanta, LA, no
8:53
matter where we at. That was the plan
8:55
That was the plan. When I first came to
8:56
MTV, that was my my agenda. When we
8:59
first did The Wake Up Show in the Bay,
9:01
that was always the agenda, man. We got
9:03
to expand this box.
9:04
We got you. We in We got so much given
9:06
talent. Symba is here, man.
9:09
The Game. Yeah. Um LeBron.
9:12
Yeah. Um KD. Shaq. Yeah. Kevin Durant.
9:16
Yeah. Snoop.
9:17
Dave Chappelle.
9:18
Dave Chappelle.
9:19
Dr. Dre. Dr. Dre.
9:20
Come on. Dave All. Ty Dolla Sign.
9:24
No ID. Vince Staples.
9:25
Yeah. 2 Chainz.
9:27
Yeah. They have all been impressed by
9:30
you.
9:30
Yeah. Right? Yeah.
9:32
Yeah. That's what you talk about.
9:34
a blessing, too. What did What was that
9:36
line Jay said people argue about in the
9:38
barber shops? Who's the best? Um I'm
9:40
paraphrasing.
9:41
Biggie, Jay-Z, and Nas. Yeah. took that
9:44
and put that in the goat song, right?
9:46
Yeah. Yeah. What kind of reaction have
9:48
you gotten from that? People love that
9:49
song, man. Um
9:51
I feel like I'm at this I was just
9:53
hanging with Joe Budden last night and I
9:55
was telling him I feel like I am at this
9:57
point in my career right now where I'm
10:00
building out my underbelly, right? Which
10:03
is my fan base. Sometimes us as artists,
10:06
we we can create a record and you could
10:08
be the record can be bigger than you.
10:09
Mhm. I feel like I'm bigger than my
10:11
records right now. Yeah. And that's how
10:13
I always wanted it to be so people can
10:14
learn who I am and understand me through
10:16
the music. But when you got a song
10:17
that's just going up, sometimes that's
10:19
all people want from you. That's all
10:21
they know from you so you get stuck in
10:22
that box to where that's the only thing
10:24
you could do. That's the only song you
10:26
can make. And for me, I feel like I'm so
10:28
much more than a song. Mhm. You know
10:30
what I mean? So I wanted me to get known
10:32
before my record so I stood on rap.
10:35
I'm standing on rap.
10:36
on bars.
10:37
on rap.
10:38
Standing on rap.
10:39
on rap.
10:40
that. Simple. I'mma give y'all some
10:42
commercial joints on this project, but
10:44
I'mma stand on rap because I feel like
10:46
that's something we lacking today. A lot
10:48
of us as rappers today, it seem like we
10:50
got to be one way. You either
10:52
uh high on drugs, you emotional, or you
10:55
a gangster. But the cool guy it ain't
10:58
cool to be cool no more. Mhm. It ain't
11:00
cool to just be that dude that rock with
11:02
the females and come from the
11:03
neighborhood, but you wasn't in all
11:05
that. And that's what I'm standing on.
11:07
It's a lot more of us that's not
11:08
shooting our gun than it is people that
11:10
is. Come on, brother. That's what I'm
11:11
representing. Come on, brother. Come on,
11:13
man. Come on. Come on, man.
11:15
Come on.
11:16
Y'all talking about You feel me? You got
11:18

11:20
project.

12:00
do with Hammer. Yeah. We had to support
12:02
Hammer. We had to support Souls of
12:04
Mischief. We had to support The Click.
12:07
Hieroglyphics. Hieroglyphics, E-40, Dru
12:10
Down, Rappin' 4-Tay Mac Mall. The Luniz
12:14
Yeah. Come on, Mac Dre, young black
12:16
brothers.
12:17
Yeah. Come on, MC Twist. And shout out
12:20
to Mac Dre because Mac Dre don't get
12:22
enough credit for the genius that he
12:24
was. Um
12:26
I feel like he was before his time. Mac
12:28
Dre was social media before we even knew
12:30
what social media was. Thizz TV was the
12:32
first time I seen somebody really go in
12:34
a day-to-day experience.
12:36
You know what I mean? Showing what the
12:37
culture was.
12:41
What you got to say? You got to explain.
12:43
First of all, people hear the name Mac
12:44
Dre, but they don't really know the
12:46
history. That's one of those things how
12:48
you talked about in the Bay. We kind of
12:50
stay in our own Yeah.
12:52
kind of in that box. Can you break down
12:54
Mac Dre? What at least tell you how he
12:55
impacted you as a So for me,
12:58
Andre Hicks, right? Not only was he
13:01
um
13:02
Uh artist, he was a gentleman. He was a
13:04
gangster. Right? He was somebody that
13:06
represented the Bay Area as a whole. I
13:09
remember talking to Mr. Fab one time and
13:11
he was like
13:12
one thing about Dre was he always
13:14
accepted what everybody was doing. So he
13:17
was telling me that Dre was in the
13:19
studio one time making a song. I might
13:22
get the name wrong, but I think the name
13:23
was like That's What's Up or something
13:25
like that. And he said he went up to him
13:27
and he was like uh
13:29
Messy Marv got a song called That's
13:31
What's Up. And he said Mac Dre looked at
13:33
him and said, That's what's up.
13:37
You know what I'm saying?
13:39
He wasn't tripping at all. He wanted to
13:41
see everybody win and I feel like his
13:43
time got cut short and what he was on
13:45
to. Like it was rumors back in the day
13:47
of Mac Dre signing to Roc-A-Fella. Yeah.
13:49
You know what I mean? It was a lot of
13:50
people on this side that knew who Mac
13:52
Dre was, but he never got the
13:53
opportunity to really expand. But that
13:55
was the first person that I seen really
13:57
document their day-to-day life, document
14:00
their shows, document the way they
14:02
dressed, document their neighborhood.
14:04
And it gave us an entertaining thing to
14:06
watch because being from the Bay, we
14:07
always seen other artists popping off.
14:09
Mhm. We always seen the Jay-Zs, the uh
14:13
the the the the Nas,
14:15
the Biggies, the Pacs. You know what I
14:17
mean? We never really seen our own pop
14:19
off and that was the first time I seen
14:21
it from a commercial level to where it
14:23
was like, oh, we could do what they do,
14:25
too. You know what I mean? And Mac Dre
14:28
he represented that. So man, shout out
14:30
to the Mac, man, cuz he he really gave
14:32
us our stamp within this hip-hop culture
14:35
from the Bay Area. Your journey is
14:36
interesting because you were you signed
14:38
Atlantic now, right? But you were signed
14:40
to a label prior to this.
14:42
Yeah. What happened? Yeah. Um So
14:46
I feel like with any artist, when you
14:48
trying to do something different
14:50
you going you going to go through some
14:52
[ __ ]
14:53
You going you going to hit some hurdles.
14:54
And at the time when I was on Columbia,
14:57
I got signed for a song that I wrote for
14:59
somebody else.
15:01
So it wasn't even my song. It was a song
15:03
I wrote for somebody else and they was
15:04
like, I like this song. Could you do
15:06
more of this? And at the time, I'm
15:08
broke. I just moved to LA from the Bay.
15:11
I had like 40 grand that I had saved up.
15:13
Me and my girl, we moved to
15:15
to LA from the Bay. We stuck not knowing
15:18
what to do. I'm buying DJs drinks every
15:20
night, buying tables, paying rent. After
15:23
about 90 days, I'm running low. Yeah.
15:25
what I mean? Like I just got my first
15:27
studio in LA that cost me about $1,200 a
15:31
month. Right? So I'm just running
15:33
through money trying to figure it out.
15:35
And I needed some money.
15:37
I needed a way. I say that on the
15:38
project. I signed my first deal with
15:40
Columbia knowing nothing would happen,
15:41
but I just needed the money so I could
15:43
plan. Mhm. I had to figure out what was
15:45
going to be my next move and I was
15:47
running low so I signed that deal. And
15:49
the people who had brought me in
15:52
actually ended up leaving about 7 8
15:55
months later. Wow. They all went to Def
15:57
Jam. So it was a regime change. So
15:59
Columbia changed their business model.
16:01
If you pay attention to what Columbia
16:03
did the last few years
16:05
it was really more so like social media
16:07
kind of
16:09
base. Like they was looking for acts
16:10
that could break on TikTok. Mhm. Acts
16:12
that could break on Instagram. And me,
16:14
I'm a word of mouth artist. I'm somebody
16:16
that you got to meet. You got to see me,
16:18
you got to touch me, you got to smell
16:19
me, you got to feel me to understand
16:21
where I'm coming from cuz it's
16:22
different. Mhm. You're not just going to
16:23
get it through a dance. Mhm. You're not
16:25
just going to get it through a
16:26
conversation on Instagram. Mhm. Right?
16:28
And that's a lost art today. Oh, yeah.
16:30
And that's what I was going through over
16:32
at Columbia when everybody had left.
16:34
Shout out to Chos. Shout out to DJ More
16:36
Mil. Um they ended up going over to Def
16:38
Jam and I was telling them, man, just
16:40
just let me out of this cuz I don't know
16:42
where to go. Yeah. So I was independent
16:45
after they let me out for a little
16:46
while.
16:47
And um being independent, it kind of
16:49
like made me hungry again. Gave me
16:52
something to work for again. I was
16:54
independent for about a year and a half.
16:56
And one day
16:58
I went to the Warner building, Dallas
17:00
Martin. Shout out my A&R, Dallas Martin.
17:03
I think that's the greatest A&R to ever
17:04
do it right there.
17:05
Come on, man. Right? Dallas Martin,
17:08
he had a aux cord party. He used to
17:10
throw these aux cord parties in the
17:12
Warner building in Los Angeles to where
17:14
artists would come up and plug into the
17:16
aux and they'd play their music. So one
17:18
day I pulled up to the aux cord party
17:20
and
17:21
it was a bunch of artists in there
17:23
saying what I was just talking about,
17:25
shooting everything up. Right? Popping
17:28
percs, doing all this. And I just stood
17:30
back in the room and let everybody play
17:31
their music. Dallas looked at me, he was
17:33
like, You got some music? I'm like,
17:35
Yeah, I got some music. I played two
17:37
songs. Next thing I know, 3 days later I
17:39
was on the way out here to New York to
17:40
meet Craig Kallman, Mike Caren, Julie
17:42
Greenwald.
17:43
Damn.
17:44
That's the trip. That's the triple head
17:45
monster right there. That's the
17:47
three-headed dragon. Yeah. And shout out
17:50
shout out to Atlantic, too, because um
17:53
Atlantic has been great for me because
17:55
they've allowed me the time to develop.
17:57
Yeah. You know, they've allowed the time
17:59
for
17:59
that? You got You said Mike Kaiser.
18:01
Exactly. You know what I mean?
18:04
They know. They they they held right the
18:05
blueprint. You know what I mean? Mike
18:07
Kaiser, Craig, they've been around. You
18:08
got Sam Crespo over there.
18:10
You seen him over there?
18:11
Yeah, that's a Crespo Crespo, the
18:12
godfather of this. You seen him.
18:15
And so now you with Atlantic. When you
18:17
In the song Sacrifices, when you talk
18:19
about that moment of independence and
18:21
you just got a $1,200 bill on the studio
18:24
Yeah. trying to figure it out. In
18:26
Sacrifices, you say a line, I'm
18:28
paraphrasing, where you say you pull up
18:29
on people's sessions and nod your head
18:32
to their [ __ ]
18:32
Play their [ __ ] Acting like your [ __ ]
18:34
is amazing for a relationship.
18:37
Going into another artist's session, yo,
18:39
this is dope just cuz you got to hook
18:40
the relationship. What kind of other
18:42
sacrifices do you recall doing? Like
18:44
that's you being pretentious almost in
18:47
the studio. Um
18:50
Understanding you ain't good enough.
18:53
Understanding you got to get better.
18:54
Going back to the drawing board. Wasting
18:57
money. Shooting the wrong videos. Paying
18:59
the wrong people. Having the wrong
19:01
managers. Yeah. Um
19:04
Make it Not knowing your identity as an
19:06
artist. You just figuring it out. That's
19:09
the whole thing about this music thing
19:10
is like it's no brochure that come with
19:12
it. It's nobody that tell you, okay,
19:15
you this tall, you this dark, you look
19:17
like this, your music should be this
19:19
way, make music for these type of
19:21
people.
19:21
Mhm. You just mess up.
19:24
You just fail, fail, fail, fail, fail.
19:26
And then you figure out how to get it
19:27
right through failing.
19:29
So moving to LA, it was a sacrifice.
19:31
Yeah. Right? I'm leaving my whole family
19:34
Mhm. just to go to LA to make music. I'm
19:36
in LA, going to the club every night,
19:38
spending money I really don't got to
19:39
spend just to meet people. Going to
19:42
people's studio sessions. I'm telling
19:44
them their music is cool. You know what
19:46
I mean? Even though I might not like it.
19:48
Just to Just for the opportunity Just
19:50
for the opportunity to stay in the room.
19:52
It was a lot of times I used to come in
19:54
the room and being from the Bay, you
19:55
know, we got some of that best
19:56
California grass. Okay. He said that
19:59
with pride. Damn, he thumped his chest
20:01
right there. Simba.
20:01
gas coming from the Bay. So a lot of the
20:04
times, yeah.
20:06
A lot of the times I would come in the
20:07
room, a lot of people just thought I was
20:09
the weed man cuz I had the best weed. So
20:11
I had to play the weed man for a little
20:13
bit. I've had to be people's um hype
20:16
man.
20:17
Right? I had to play the role of walking
20:19
to the store to get Backwoods for
20:21
artists just to stay in the room. So I
20:23
sacrificed a lot just to sit in this
20:25
seat today. Yeah, come on, man. Get that
20:27
man a round of applause, Simba.
20:29
I remember watching a clip of Mase
20:31
saying he used to have to roll Biggie's
20:33
blunts and take his girls home just to
20:35
be in the opportunity and I was on with
20:38
Wallow and Gilly. I remember the first
20:40
time I realized I wasn't good enough. I
20:42
was in the studio with Hitmaka. Mhm.
20:44
Shout out to Hitmaka cuz this was before
20:45
y'all was calling him Hitmaka. He was
20:47
still Young Berg.
20:48
Mhm. And he was trying to figure out his
20:50
next move. He had just wrote a record
20:51
for Nicki Minaj and he was turnt up. He
20:54
was like, "I'm about to take this [ __ ]
20:55
on one. I'm about to I'm about to be the
20:57
next Quincy Jones." And I was in the
20:59
studio with him one day and he was he
21:02
was working on a record for Rae
21:03
Sremmurd. I can't remember the exact
21:06
record it was, but I was just watching
21:08
him create the record and I was like,
21:10
"Damn,
21:11
I can't do that."
21:13
I was like, "I could rap, but the way
21:15
they just came up with that hook, like I
21:16
can't do that. I got to figure out how
21:19
to do that or what that is." So I went
21:21
back to the drawing board for weeks
21:23
trying to figure out how to write hooks,
21:24
trying to figure out how to write songs.
21:26
So shout out to Hitmaka for allowing me
21:28
to be in that studio session to be able
21:30
to learn that. Wow, come on, Simba. I
21:32
know you got a ton of stories.
21:34
I got I got some people on the line
21:36
right now. And look, we're celebrating
21:37
the new project. Tell them the name of
21:39
the project, man.
21:39
Results take time, baby.
21:40
Coming out Friday. We in a you know, we
21:42
in a we in a era right now where people
21:44
think they could just skip the process
21:46
because of the phone amplifies their
21:48
voice, but you still got to put that
21:49
work in.
21:50
You still got to put that work in.
21:51
got to put that work in.
21:52
You teamed up with another
21:54
uh
21:55
lyrical acrobatic Yes, sir.
21:57
for this tour. Yes, sir.
21:58
This man hasn't
22:00
failed his his lyrical prowess hasn't
22:03
failed since he picked up the mic and we
22:05
watched his evolution and we watched him
22:07
be vulnerable through a lot of his
22:09
music. He's a
22:11
very introspective person and it comes
22:13
out in his music. He's been true to
22:14
himself the whole time and even when
22:17
he's going through it, he's shown it. So
22:19
the ADHD tour Yes, sir. seems like it's
22:22
appropriately titled, right?
22:24
You know,
22:26
between the two of you. But how did
22:28
y'all connect, you and Joyner Lucas? Um
22:31
the power of social media. Mhm. Um
22:35
I was rapping and he had hit me up. He
22:38
was like, "Yo, bro, I rock with what you
22:40
doing." You know what I mean? He was
22:42
like um you holding it down for the
22:44
bars. I'm getting ready to put together
22:46
this tour. I want you to go out with me.
22:49
Damn. Shh, what?
22:51
I've never been on a tour.
22:53
Wow. Your first tour.
22:54
Pandemic got in the way of all that.
22:56
Like last time we spoke, we spoke
22:58
through the phone. I had to talk to
22:59
everybody that way. I couldn't come up
23:01
here and meet people. Like I said, I'm a
23:03
word of mouth artist. Mhm. So a lot of
23:05
people thought I was an industry plant.
23:06
Mhm.
23:07
They would hit me talking about, "How
23:08
much y'all pay LeBron to post? What you
23:10
going to pay LeBron to post you?"
23:11
Yeah, you can't pay LeBron. You can't
23:13
pay LeBron.
23:14
afford to pay LeBron.
23:16
But me not being able to move around, it
23:18
gave people that perception of me. So
23:21
Joyner had hit me up.
23:23
He was like, "Yo, I appreciate what you
23:24
doing. I'm getting ready to go on this
23:25
tour. I want you to come with me." I was
23:27
like, "Bro, I'm down. Like whatever I
23:29
got to do, like let's put it together."
23:32
So we literally locked in, bro. We did a
23:34
show back in June
23:36
um for Fuel Fest. It's Paul Walker's
23:38
festival. Rest in peace to Paul Walker.
23:41
He got a festival that he do every year
23:42
with the cars. And we had linked up at
23:45
the festival.
23:46
I performed, he performed. We kind of
23:48
got to see what the tour looked like.
23:50
And then we just stayed in communication
23:52
and then
23:53
this Friday, the day we drop the
23:54
project, we're kicking it off in
23:56
Minneapolis. Let's go. You talked about
23:58
Simba and thank you so much for
23:59
everything that you're sharing today.
24:01
This is incredible. But you talked about
24:03
going back in and kind of going through
24:05
that process where you learned how to
24:06
create hooks. Then what's the process
24:09
for practicing and getting ready for
24:10
tour? Cuz that's like a workout. I
24:12
always encourage artists take voice
24:14
lessons, hit the gym, do everything
24:17
because it's live, it's a workout. How
24:19
How would did you get ready for tour? So
24:21
like I said, this is my first tour, so
24:23
I'm still learning, Heather B.
24:24
Okay.
24:26
I'm still learning. As you can see, my
24:28
voice is a little strained cuz I was
24:29
hanging with Joe Budden till 3:00 this
24:31
morning.
24:31
What y'all What y'all do? Was it a strip
24:33
club? Damn. You went to the strip club
24:36
with Joe? Yeah, we was in the strip club
24:38
hanging out.
24:39
Hey, did he stretch your wallet? You
24:41
know dudes
24:41
Nah, Joe Joe won't let me pay for
24:43
nothing. So you didn't have to pay for
24:45
the
24:45
I didn't kick it with Joe about two
24:47
times. Every time I didn't pull my card
24:49
out, he just put it back.
24:51
That's That's a Joe voice. Put your Put
24:53
your card back.
24:54
Where where where's he from again,
24:55
Heather? Was he born there though? He's
24:57
from Jersey City.
24:58
that Jersey quality. That's a Jersey
25:00
care of folks.
25:01
let me tell you
25:02
care of people. I I tell you this
25:04
and and and I I have my reasons. Joe
25:07
Budden did one of the realest things
25:09
I've ever seen. I've been in the
25:10
industry a long time and I asked him to
25:12
do something Yeah. and he did it like
25:15
what I I'll tell you off the air, but
25:16
what he did was
25:18
I had a whole I always respect him, but
25:20
I had a whole new respect for him. He
25:22
was he was so solid and 100. That might
25:24
have been a Jersey thing. I asked him to
25:26
come to Harlem for something. It wasn't
25:28
no might in there. I asked him to do so
25:29
for I'm forever saluting to him. So
25:31
makes sense. So next time you hang out
25:33
with Joe
25:34
Yeah. just on some town [ __ ] Okay. man,
25:36
call me. If he paying, dog, Okay. Okay.
25:40
Okay, I got you. I got you.
25:47
We got a town hall tomorrow. I got I got
25:48
to work early in the morning. Nah, shout
25:50
out Shout out to Joe because um Joe is
25:53
like
25:55
he's a staple in hip hop that don't get
25:57
the credit that he deserve.
25:58
Mhm. Um Joe has taught me a lot and he's
26:02
we've known each other for about a month
26:04
and I've know I've learned a lot more
26:07
from Joe in this month than I've learned
26:09
from people that I've been around for 10
26:11
to 20 years.
26:12
Damn. Wow. That's amazing.
26:13
more. He's taught me so much like
26:17
a lot of us as artists we get caught in
26:18
just like wanting to make music. He's
26:20
taught me how to make a transition once
26:23
you get your your boiling point. You
26:25
know what I mean? How to do something
26:26
different. So shout out to Joe, man. He
26:29
He's somebody we definitely got to
26:30
protect in the culture. Absolutely. Joe
26:32
Budden, salute. Um
26:34
let me take a couple of these calls real
26:36
quick. You know, and I know he You see
26:38
what he waiting for me to say. I know
26:39
what he waiting for me to say.
26:41
No, we going we going to take our time
26:42
with that. You know, we going to get to
26:43

26:57
Let's get it. The only way only place
26:59
where he where we don't meet up is he
27:01
said
27:01
that Michael Jordan couldn't have
27:03
guarded LeBron James.
27:04
LeBron would have LeBron would have
27:05
tarnished Jordan.
27:08
That's what I'm saying.
27:08
No, let's not even talk about this while
27:10
you selling the album. No, no. Not while
27:12
you selling the album. I don't want to
27:13
affect your sales.
27:16
No. Don't do it.
27:17
Trey. That boy going crazy. Like I'm a
27:19
transparent from the Shire or whatever.
27:21
I live out here in the Bay. I'm out here

30:16
LeBron's are still sitting on the shelf
30:18
at retail. Yeah.
30:20
NO, I'M NOT TALKING about the shoes. I'm
30:23
not talking about the shoes. We all know
30:25
Mike is a cultural icon, man. He's one
30:27
of the greatest to do it, but as a
30:28
staple for the young generation, man, I
30:30
I I speak for my generation and I feel
30:33
like we don't get enough credit. I feel
30:35
like LeBron is a goat and because he's
30:37
always paired compared to Jordan,
30:39
sometimes the older generation don't
30:41
give him his flowers.
30:42
Okay, let's play a game.
30:45
Let's play a game.
30:47
I see what he doing right here Adam.
30:48
Adam, you a citizen Adam. Let's play a
30:50
game. Yes, thank you guys.
30:51
Okay. Okay.
30:53
Right. Let me see. Uh KRS-One
30:56
Okay. Um Rakim Okay. Big Daddy Kane
31:01
Legends. Jay-Z Legends. Nas Legend.
31:05
Let's just use those five. We're going
31:07
to let Tupac and Big rest.
31:09
Okay. All right.
31:10
Who in this generation could take out
31:12
KRS-One? Symba Symba Symba
31:16
That is such a KRS-One answer.
31:20
You said the same thing KRS WOULD HAVE
31:22
SAID.
31:25
NO, IT AIN'T IT AIN'T EVEN ABOUT THAT,
31:27
MAN.
31:29
Like KR KRS-One is a legend. Rakim is a
31:32
legend.
31:33
Um I get a lot of my style from Jay-Z.
31:36
So without them we nothing.
31:38
We nothing. They are the founding
31:39
fathers of this. I feel like Rakim
31:42
without Rakim a lot of us wouldn't rap
31:44
the way we rap today. I feel like before
31:46
Rakim it was a lot of
31:48
broken glass everywhere. People walking
31:51
around the street like they did and then
31:52
Rakim yeah, Rakim gave it a little more
31:55
conversation. You know what I mean? He
31:57
brought conversation to hip hop and
31:59
without Rakim none of us would have
32:00
known how to do that. So we nothing
32:02
without them. You know, just as a as a
32:04
young gun always got to talk my talk my
32:07
[ __ ] sometimes. You know what I I like
32:08
that. We nothing without the legends.
32:10
That's that's what Jay did.
32:11
Yeah. That's what Jay put himself in
32:13
that conversation.
32:14
Yeah.
32:15
And that's what you doing.
32:16
where Jay took it. And look where he
32:18
took it and people got to recognize what
32:19
you doing right here. Results take time,
32:21
citizens. Results
32:23
