able to contribute positively
1:44
now this thing that we built has grown
1:46
to have its own personality
1:47
its own everything it runs itself
1:50
without us like if me and matt die like
1:52
somebody will pick up rolling loud
1:54
and it will have an identity to stay
1:56
truthful to and i'm very proud of that

3:40
chronic where the joshi sent me enough

3:58

3:59
there's something to be said still bars
4:01
i'm talking about my baby started
4:03
teasing
4:04
as if i need a reason to be scheming for
4:06
the cream but i don't
4:08
i love that i love that did you how far
4:10
did you get as an
4:11
mc i never put out one song
4:14
i was very i was very careful i made
4:17
like 50 joints
4:19
uh but i just i didn't i wasn't
4:22
confident in the delivery or
4:24
just the image building of it and i just
4:26
thought there were better
4:28
better brands of artists out there i
4:31
just didn't really see my place in the
4:32
game and
4:33
i just hung it up hmm did anyone
4:37
tell you you couldn't make it or was it
4:40
because of reaction or it was just your
4:42
own personal your own personal i never i
4:45
never really
4:46
showed too many people my music because
4:48
there's only like handfuls of people
4:50
that ever heard my music
4:51
uh and not so nobody really told me i
4:54
couldn't make it
4:55
but i just i just made the decision on
4:57
my own like also like the thought of
4:59
like
4:59
a lot of people either liking you or not
5:01
liking you i just
5:02
it was a lot of the thought of that was
5:04
so much pressure like i don't want to
5:06
enter into that arena
5:07
and now i'm kind of in that because i
5:10
got a little bit of a following for
5:12
doing this rolling loud thing and
5:13
i'm realizing like yeah if i would have
5:15
been an artist this would be way worse
5:20
wow that's crazy he's so right right
5:24
uh matt and you you guys went to
5:25
elementary right
5:27
yeah with matt and i met in fourth grade
5:29
that's my business partner
5:31
one of my best friends uh my brother his
5:34
family really
5:35
and uh we just been rocking ever since
5:37
we threw parties together in high school
5:40
in college and then decided to make it a
5:43
legit business
5:44
yeah but y'all also uh you i won't say i
5:47
won't use the wealth
5:48
word failed together but you in the
5:51
beginning you
5:52
you had events that didn't go as oh yeah
5:55
yeah and hella else you took that's
5:58
what i want to talk about too before
6:00
this was this
6:02
you guys took a lot of l's and a lot of
6:04
people feel like once they take one
6:06
l that maybe this routine for them it's
6:08
the
6:09
l's that help make you who you are you
6:11
learn from the l's right so when you
6:12
were taking the l's what prevented you
6:14
from being discouraged
6:16
and just doing something totally
6:17
different
6:19
honestly the i look at losses like
6:23
college tuition you know it's for the
6:26
for the for the rap game
6:28
there's not really a school you can go
6:30
to to learn
6:31
all these hard lessons that you learned
6:33
from actually being in the game and
6:35
making mistakes
6:36
the best thing you could learn from is a
6:38
mistake in my opinion
6:40
so or just a loss or whatever so
6:44
i just took it like that like any time
6:46
we took a loss i was like all right this
6:47
is my tuition right here
6:48
and this is what i would be paying to go
6:50
to school for this so i'm paying in my
6:52
losses
6:53
so that's kind of how i viewed it in my
6:54
mind um
6:57
and it worked out yeah that's it yeah
7:00
absolutely rolling loud we talking
7:02
rolling loud they got some events coming
7:04
up
7:04
friday it's already sold out miami
7:09
it's already sold out miami
7:13

7:19
travis scott post malone
7:22
friday saturday sunday friday through
7:24
sunday pardon me
7:26
this is the first major festival back
7:29
since the covet
7:30
we've all been waiting on oh wow we all
7:33
been waiting on you man
7:34
yo yo the rolling loud has been a
7:36
lifeline to so many different artists
7:39
you know so congratulations so many
7:41
artists
7:42
as xxx centaurion trippy red a lot of
7:45
these artists
7:47
we we learned about through this
7:49
platform how many artists were calling
7:51
you guys during the colvis saying man
7:53
when are you coming back who was calling
7:55
you
7:57
uh honestly everybody you know
8:00
because we had the you know we had the
8:02
show booked for 2020 then we had to
8:04
postpone it to
8:06
2021 and we actually postponed it a
8:08
couple times in 2021 we had it for
8:10
february then may and now
8:12
finally in july um so
8:15
it was just a lot of people getting all
8:17
the artists want to get back to
8:18
doing what they do you know we derive a
8:20
lot of our
8:22
a lot of our happiness comes from doing
8:24
what we do on these stages
8:25
and not only that but the feedback you
8:28
know it's cool to see the comments
8:30
and it's cool to see the likes and all
8:31
that online engagement
8:33
but you don't really feel that feedback
8:35
until you step on that stage and people
8:37
know your work the words of your music
8:39
so i think people have really been
8:42
missing that i'ma cry i'm going to tell
8:44
you right now
8:46
when the when the crowd is going crazy
8:48
and we're finally back at it this
8:49
weekend

8:52
tears because like
8:53
this what we do it for we i do it to
8:56
look out there at that crowd and see
8:58
people having a good time at the end of
8:59
the day
9:00
that's why we got into it yeah man
9:02
that's dope hb
9:04
no that's really dope then how do you
9:07
how do you relax
9:08
because to me i know you said you didn't
9:10
really um
9:12
pursue that that part of the game the
9:14
you know the
9:15
getting out there yourself with a
9:16
microphone and performing but i still
9:20
view you as an artist because you you
9:22
are creating
9:23
um how do you relax then what what does
9:25
your down time look like if you don't
9:27
mind sharing that
9:29
um i just chill at the crib i got i got
9:33

9:40
really relaxing but when i watch like

10:07
um just because it's beautiful that i'm
10:10
also gardening i got a little garden at
10:12
the crib i'm growing my little tomatoes
10:14
and such
10:15
nice yeah you know just trying to live
10:19
this life man it's like there's a lot of
10:20
stuff you can do in this life if you put
10:22
the phone down
10:23
and just kind of open your eyes and get
10:25
outside
10:27
i love it man uh if you if you haven't
10:29
heard of roland lal you need to
10:31
you need to dig it up man we got tarek
10:33
sharif with us right now one of the
10:35
things you guys are doing that i
10:37
i i didn't even understand it when i
10:39
heard it talk about
10:41
innovation and first time ever done wwe
10:44
will be filming live friday night
10:46
smackdown matches on the main stage at
10:48
rolandville bro
10:50
yes sir this is a this is like a
10:53
childhood dream you know i grew up
10:55
watching wrestling uh shawn michaels
10:59
hulk hogan
11:00
the generation x x-poc the nwo whether
11:04
it was
11:04
the wwe or wcw or like all the different
11:08
the wrestling companies i would watch
11:10
them all obviously wwe is the biggest
11:12
and best um
11:14
and i don't even remember how the
11:16
conversation started but we have a
11:18
a wrestling expert on our team named
11:20
wilson who loves wrestling
11:22
and is still a massive fan of this day
11:24
he goes to wrestlemania all the time
11:26
so our teams were talking with their
11:28
teams
11:29
and the next thing we know we came out
11:31
with this come up came up with this
11:32
concept so basically we're gonna have
11:34
two wrestling matches
11:35
at rolling loud friday night on the main
11:38
stage those will be broadcast
11:40
on fox wow millions of people that tune
11:43
in to smackdown friday nights
11:45
and then at the same time they're gonna
11:47
also be in cleveland the same night
11:49
doing the rest of the matches for like
11:51
the main event with john cena and stuff
11:53
um so it's like a multi-city thing for
11:57
wwe and for us it's a great opportunity
11:59
to
12:00
get rolling loud on fox in front of
12:02
people that normally wouldn't
12:04
tune in to rolling loud you know so it's
12:06
it's a mutually beneficial thing
12:07
it was two brands coming together and
12:09
kind of just doing a cool trade
12:11
yeah a cool trade man this is huge
12:14
wednesday
12:16
wednesday
12:21
it's a cool trip man that's huge
12:29
i'm a little understated but yeah it's
12:31
it's crazy
12:32
wow man uh uh tracy you want to
12:35
jump in here i'm blown away right now
12:38
yeah absolutely i'm curious to
12:41
because there are so many different
12:42
festivals and more and more that are
12:44
popping up and seeing
12:46
even like artists themselves who are
12:47
curating i just saw
12:49
her just announced that she has a
12:50
festival and when we think of
12:52
business you know when you have a
12:54
business plan and you have to consider
12:56
who your competition is is that the case
12:59
when it comes to
13:00
festivals i know a lot of times it's so
13:03
focused on like
13:04
the region and so i'm wondering if you
13:07
consider all these other festivals your
13:09
um
13:09
competition and then also if as peers
13:12
you guys share tips on you know what the
13:15
infrastructure is like
13:17
especially post covid how can we tighten
13:19
things up
13:20
what is the scene like with your peers
13:23
yeah i'm on a i'm on a weekly call every
13:25
week with a bunch of other festival
13:28
um founders and or and if they're not
13:30
the founder they're
13:31
the person that runs it and we share
13:34
notes every week and updates
13:36
as far as what's going on in all our
13:38
markets with
13:39
getting back to doing shows and as well
13:42
as like
13:43
who we're booking and stuff like that uh
13:46
other festivals are really only
13:47
competition
13:48
to us if we're in like the same region
13:49
and going for the same artist
13:51
and then we're like because you know
13:53
each festival has a radius clause so
13:55
only one of the festivals in the region
13:57
if they're in the same time frame can
13:58
get
13:59
an artist so sometimes there's a little
14:01
competition like that
14:02
and which drives up the booking fees so
14:04
at the end of the day the artists win
14:06
there which is good for them
14:08
but uh i don't really i don't really see
14:10
any other festivals competition
14:12
um i'm flattered when you know i see
14:15
other hip-hop festivals
14:16
have started to pop up in the last few
14:19
years
14:20
obviously not during 2020 but before
14:22
2020 and now this year as well
14:24
um and i'm flattered by it because
14:28
you know we were inspired by rock the
14:30
bells rock the bells was for a different
14:33
for a different era and i was also
14:35
inspired by you know the edm festivals
14:37
and stuff but
14:38
i just wanted to create something for
14:39
this for this modern era
14:42
of hip-hop and that's what we did and
14:44
now there's some others that are popping
14:45
up
14:46
kind of copying our formula and to me
14:48
that just means what we're doing is
14:49
great
14:50
absolutely man that's a great attitude
14:52
could you also share a bit
14:54
of um the process when you guys are
14:56
curating a show like how do you
14:58
decide who's going to be the headliners
15:00
are you thinking about who
15:02
the hottest artist is currently versus
15:04
sometimes thinking all right what's an
15:06
icon that we can really bring back what
15:08
goes into your head for that
15:11
and pretty much exactly what you just
15:13
said like for instance the new york
15:14
lineup
15:15
we have a balance of an icon 50
15:19
who's been in the game for a while and
15:22
is undeniably
15:24
an icon right yeah for for a certain era
15:27
but he's continued it to today right
15:29
and then you we have travis scott who
15:31
represents the modern day rage
15:34
you know mosh pit music and then we got
15:37
j cole
15:38
that gives you a different vibe and more
15:40
more mo like
15:41
also from the quote-unquote new school
15:43
newer school you know
15:45
uh but more lyrical more thoughtful
15:48
quote-unquote so we try to we try to
15:51
have our headliners have different vibes
15:53
same with miami we got asap rocky travis
15:56
scott post alone
15:57
three different vibes um so it's about
16:00
just giving people options we want we
16:03
want any fan to be able to come to the
16:05
show and
16:06
like you know at least 10 artists on the
16:08
lineup
16:09
um and there's a lot of different types
16:11
of hip-hop fans some people are skewed
16:13
more lyrical so they're gravitating to j
16:15
cole
16:16
and currency and action bronson etc etc
16:19
etc
16:21
um and some people don't want that mosh
16:23
pit music they want travis scott playboy
16:25
carty little uzi
16:27
um can't leave out the females megan the
16:29
stallion
16:30
coil ray flo milly etc so
16:34
it's just about catering to everyone's
16:37
tastes
16:38
and and and our own taste as well
16:41
so our team is very involved and we're
16:44
all on
16:45
social media every day finding new music
16:48
and it's a whole it's a whole alchemy
16:52
magic sort of thing
16:53
that ends up in a lineup wow
16:57
what i always wondered too is
17:01
with festivals a lot of times man like
17:03
let's say for example hypothetically you
17:05
got j
17:05
cole on one stage and travis scott on
17:07
the other stage
17:08
and then they're performing at the same
17:10
time but i want to see both
17:12
do you do you get you get that feedback
17:14
sometimes that damn man the two i mean
17:16
we won't put the we won't put
17:18
something that big up against each other
17:20
but we do have to um
17:23
we do have to put artists up against
17:24
each other for capacity reason
17:27
um if you had you know two
17:30
if you had only one artist performing at
17:32
a time on one
17:33
phase and everybody would go to that
17:35
stage the other stages would be empty
17:38
it becomes like a crowdflow issue and a
17:41
capacity issue
17:44
so we'd have to basically we'd have to
17:46
sell way less tickets and then if we
17:48
sell way less tickets then we're booking
17:50
way less artists
17:51
so it's a balance right but we try very
17:53
hard to curate it in a way that
17:56
like i said the different different
17:58
types of fans are going to still be able
17:59
to see
18:00
the artists they want so like we won't
18:02
put like a pla playboy cardi up against
18:04
a little uzi vert
18:05
because like we know that those fans
18:07
right both
18:08
you know okay but you know we'll put
18:12
we'll put uh i don't want to say the
18:14
wrong one but
18:16
hypothetically potentially
18:18
hypothetically what you said might work
18:21
a travis scott j
18:22
cole up against each other but i
18:23
wouldn't do that because those are two
18:25
big
18:25
artists but like uh you know i i put a
18:28
you know i put currency up against
18:32
playboy cardi because like currency fans
18:34
aren't really tripping about going on a
18:36
playboy party set
18:37
they want to just go vibe to some
18:38
spitting i see what you're saying so so
18:40
what do you do
18:41
in the case of you know the rap game got
18:44
a lot of
18:45
a lot of beef you know what i mean if
18:48
you got people who
18:50
who are are in conflict on the same show
18:53
how do y'all put like
18:54
security wise how do how have y'all
18:56
prepped uh for this year
18:58
and especially two this two part when
19:00
you have artists who aren't getting
19:01
along
19:02
how do you accommodate for that and then
19:04
also with covet
19:06
being here now have that how has that
19:08
adjusted your security detail
19:11
so for the beef stuff we try to
19:15
if anybody's got beef on the lineup we
19:17
try to separate them on different days
19:19
okay not not allow the you know
19:23
not allow them to come on the other days
19:25
uh also
19:26
we just have a strict no gun policy
19:30
so we're we're searching at the
19:33
at the artist at all entries but
19:35
especially the artist entry
19:36
um making sure there's no firearms
19:38
coming in
19:40
and uh just talking to all the teams as
19:42
well and
19:43
doing our own research about the beast
19:45
and just trying to keep people separate
19:47
i mean obviously we've had a couple
19:49
fights that rolling loud but
19:51
nothing too crazy um
19:54
and then as far as covid we're just
19:56
we're
19:57
we're encouraging everybody to be safe
20:00
we have mass available um we're
20:03
encouraging vaccination
20:04
and wearing masks and a lot of most of
20:08
our artists are actually
20:10
vaccinated um and a lot most of our fans
20:12
are as well
20:14
so we're just looking forward to a safe
20:15
time we we stress
20:17
safety in all of our conversations
20:19
that's that's the biggest thing for a
20:21
festival is safety so
20:22
safety man go ahead
20:26
i was going to ask t real quick was
20:28
there somebody obviously you're
20:29
you are a fan of the artist that you all
20:32
decide
20:33
that will be on the festival but did
20:34

uh helping him with his career honestly
23:10
man the same reason you got into it like
23:13
what you were saying at the beginning of
23:14
our conversation i it just rings true
23:16
for me like
23:17
i just i love to i it's a little
23:20
different for me because it's two part
23:21
for me
23:22
on the one hand i do love to just
23:24
entertain people from when i was a kid i
23:26
love to throw parties
23:27
i just like to show people a good time
23:29
right but the other thing is i just
23:31
really love this culture i really love
23:32
this music i'm
23:34
in it and i just want to spread it and i
23:36
want to make it have a good name i don't
23:38
want ever
23:38
i want people to ever have a bad name
23:40
bad taste in their mouth when it comes
23:42
to hip-hop
23:43
the hip-hop culture you know i i like to
23:46
dispel
23:46
rumors you know and in certain parts of
23:50
white america
23:51
or i don't know what i should call it
23:52
but there's certain
23:54
uh people have their premonitions or
23:57
their judgments about
23:59
hip-hop and what that comes with and i
24:01
just like to squash those rumors because
24:04
we really are a positive community
24:06
and we shine bright and we run the world
24:08
and we run culture
24:09
and uh i just like to help show that to
24:12
the world
