Then fastforward some years later when I started doing,1000:00:44.960 --> 00:00:47.960you know, music and whatnot,it was like, man, I1100:00:48.000 --> 00:00:51.200had to come up with a name, an artist's name.

No, uh, but it has2300:01:30.599 --> 00:01:36.400its own uniqueness with the music.Then a lot of creatives now here.2400:01:36.519 --> 00:01:40.920So, you know, it makesdoing music no fun. So you meet2500:01:41.079 --> 00:01:45.640all types of walk walk of life. I mean, I'm a couple of2600:01:45.760 --> 00:01:49.280no artists.

Um, but at the3400:02:22.840 --> 00:02:25.960same time, there's a lot ofpeople that I ran into down there that3500:02:27.039 --> 00:02:30.280aren't. You know that, Ithink, are taking advantage of the artists3600:02:30.280 --> 00:02:34.360that really want to be that uh, when I really want to make it,3700:02:35.000 --> 00:02:38.280and so that's always, you know, a little bit discouraging.

Um.So I learned. I had to learn4400:02:58.560 --> 00:03:01.639from the experienced. So a lotof things I learned was, hey,4500:03:01.719 --> 00:03:07.560just research just now, be ahomework.

Thatwas my first time managing everybody, but6400:04:30.759 --> 00:04:35.480I didn't let everybody. Everybody knowthat, but Um, but that's when6500:04:35.480 --> 00:04:40.439we met. I think we hungout one time and then what, two6600:04:40.519 --> 00:04:45.199years later? Yeah, two yearslater. So Twenty nineteen, you were6700:04:45.279 --> 00:04:47.439really into performing and coming out withyour music. So, yeah, I'm6800:04:47.480 --> 00:04:50.959still, you know, staying theround up doing shows and trying to know,6900:04:51.199 --> 00:04:56.480get back out, get back intoit and and whatnot. So it's7000:04:56.560 --> 00:05:00.519one of those things that you can'talways can't live without, you know,7100:05:00.759 --> 00:05:05.120you're doing music. So ever sincethe world changed, what other kind of7200:05:05.160 --> 00:05:12.240opportunities have have come up? Foryou music streames, doing, doing music7300:05:12.240 --> 00:05:15.839scence, I meant music, doingmusic syncs, you know, trying to7400:05:15.839 --> 00:05:19.680get music on to like no TVshows and video games and uh, the7500:05:19.759 --> 00:05:25.920whole nine yards and uh yeah,and trying to, you know, right7600:05:26.399 --> 00:05:29.879and try to know a couple ofsongs righting gigs and there, no type7700:05:29.920 --> 00:05:31.639of things. So, you know, just trying to figure out, find7800:05:31.639 --> 00:05:35.279a new niche whether. Yeah,for sure, I see. I mean7900:05:35.319 --> 00:05:39.560I've heard your I mean I knowfrom a different level, but you switched8000:05:39.639 --> 00:05:43.040up your sound kind of last yearor so. What what made you want8100:05:43.079 --> 00:05:46.560to do that? Um, justdo something fresh, you know what I'm8200:05:46.560 --> 00:05:51.079saying, start doing something different andnot the same old, same old.8300:05:51.240 --> 00:05:55.040As you know, after a whileyou come on hearing the same thing to8400:05:55.120 --> 00:05:58.639start getting repetitive. So I justdecided no, switch it up, no,8500:05:58.759 --> 00:06:01.079give us, give rent, geta fans something different to listen to,8600:06:01.160 --> 00:06:04.439give them a different vibe. Sothat was my whole thing. That's8700:06:04.519 --> 00:06:10.519my whole thinking. I wanted toexpand my arriving instead of being in a8800:06:10.639 --> 00:06:15.519box. So it's I think it'sbetter smart. Yeah, half different types8900:06:15.560 --> 00:06:18.199of music out, but you know, and it's for everybody, not just,9000:06:20.240 --> 00:06:24.439especially if you're into it, youknow, like you're not doing it9100:06:24.480 --> 00:06:29.920because it's the what everyone else isdoing, it's because you want to try9200:06:30.000 --> 00:06:34.120to and it's true, doing thesame thing over and over again with as9300:06:34.160 --> 00:06:39.839fast as everything moves, with thesound and what everybody likes to it makes9400:06:40.040 --> 00:06:46.439it makes total sense, Um,and the new sound is certainly doing pretty9500:06:46.480 --> 00:06:49.240well for you. You have avideo. Where is that right? For9600:06:49.759 --> 00:06:57.959which song? got that video forthe worst way of summer flame? Tell9700:06:58.000 --> 00:07:01.199me about that whole album, theEP. It was just a whole different9800:07:01.199 --> 00:07:03.879type of vibe. You know,I was going forward the R and B9900:07:04.279 --> 00:07:11.199pop type sound. Uh No,incorporated a couple of no hip hop,10000:07:12.680 --> 00:07:16.600my my roots into it. No, my hip hop style and things like10100:07:16.680 --> 00:07:20.680that, and it was it makessense at the time to make put something10200:07:20.720 --> 00:07:24.720out for the summer and, youknow, something you could ride to with10300:07:24.800 --> 00:07:28.800your with your lady or with youryou know, your significant other type thing10400:07:28.959 --> 00:07:31.240and something that you know you andyour friends can vibe to. It.10500:07:31.240 --> 00:07:34.120It's it's for all type of occasions, you know what I'm saying, for10600:07:34.279 --> 00:07:41.879like barbecues, whatever, whatever youthink it'll fit. Yeah, you know10700:07:41.920 --> 00:07:46.399what I'm saying. So yeah,and it's not particularly to edny coast,10800:07:46.480 --> 00:07:49.879because I know you are into theWest Coast. Um, how far back10900:07:49.920 --> 00:07:54.399does that go? You're just say'tsome an OB session or you're just something11000:07:54.439 --> 00:07:57.920that you're really into.

So and then I gotrelatives out there and then we went to11400:08:11.399 --> 00:08:16.000L A and a couple of monthsago and uh, I loved vibe.11500:08:16.000 --> 00:08:18.079You know, I feel in likea lot of people know. When we11600:08:18.120 --> 00:08:20.240went out there, you know,it felt like I was, you know,11700:08:20.399 --> 00:08:24.600from there. So how people knowso love and you know, the11800:08:24.639 --> 00:08:30.399conversations we had. It was likedifferent, man, you know what you11900:08:30.519 --> 00:08:33.879experience in the south. It waslike a different type of conversation. What's12000:08:33.919 --> 00:08:37.639that? What's get into that?How is it different? You know,12100:08:37.720 --> 00:08:43.080it's just the way the way thethe lingo and the way things are,12200:08:43.879 --> 00:08:48.559things are perceived, you know,from different, different perspective. Uh,12300:08:48.840 --> 00:08:58.320it was a different type of conversation. UH, real, real home home12400:08:58.360 --> 00:09:07.240feeling type vibe, like it somethingyou can't really explain until you actually have12500:09:07.360 --> 00:09:11.720that type of conversation. So itwas just a conversation that that really you12600:09:11.759 --> 00:09:16.679know, it was full of lovetype type VIBE, positive energies in all12700:09:16.759 --> 00:09:22.759that. So that's the type ofUH conversation we had no business talking about.12800:09:24.080 --> 00:09:28.559What what's your future going to be? And what we got going on12900:09:28.720 --> 00:09:31.679and, you know, you needsomething, we got, you know,13000:09:31.720 --> 00:09:37.960it's like so we really was politicingout there and business, business center,13100:09:37.039 --> 00:09:41.919and everybody's got the same or verydriven and like want to to do something,13200:09:41.960 --> 00:09:46.799but like a family type type yeahto it. So it was just13300:09:46.840 --> 00:09:52.320like that's amazing, because that's rarethese days anywhere. Yeah, so it13400:09:52.360 --> 00:09:54.679was it was a different type ofvibe for for that type of conversation.13500:09:56.720 --> 00:10:01.679So is that something you'll you wantto do eventually? Maybe move out there?13600:10:01.799 --> 00:10:05.000Uh, not eventually, probably somewhereto the you know, on the13700:10:05.080 --> 00:10:09.519on the West, on the WestCoast, not California, just per se,13800:10:09.559 --> 00:10:13.720but you know, somewhere midwest oryou know, all the way wherever13900:10:13.840 --> 00:10:20.639Texas. Is it the beach?Are you a beach person? Uh,14000:10:20.799 --> 00:10:22.759you said I'm a beach person.Are you a beach person? Yeah,14100:10:24.600 --> 00:10:26.559I love looking at the Sun Setting, the sun rise on the beach.14200:10:26.720 --> 00:10:33.360It's it's it gives me like aUH, like a real good feeling,14300:10:33.759 --> 00:10:37.440you know what I'm saying. Itgives you that inspiration that that you need.14400:10:37.000 --> 00:10:41.600So, yeah, I like thebeach. It sounds like you're oasis14500:10:41.720 --> 00:10:43.919out there. I guess maybe it'sgood that you don't go too much,14600:10:45.039 --> 00:10:48.360because it makes it that much morespecial when you go there and make the14700:10:48.440 --> 00:10:50.879most of that time. When youwere there last time, what kind of14800:10:52.360 --> 00:10:54.240how long we're be there for?It was two days. We were there14900:10:54.240 --> 00:11:00.879for two days. We were working, we were doing yeah, super quick15000:11:00.919 --> 00:11:05.159work trip. So how long doyou think it would actually take for you15100:11:05.240 --> 00:11:09.919to get like everything done you wantedto, you know, have some relax15200:11:11.000 --> 00:11:13.159time but also get some work done? And what do you think would be15300:11:13.200 --> 00:11:18.720like a perfect amount of time togo there for like five days, five15400:11:18.799 --> 00:11:24.679six days? Yeah, right,I'd be cool with it and then come15500:11:24.720 --> 00:11:28.440back every every once a year ortwice a year, and then live it15600:11:28.519 --> 00:11:31.240up, because I feel like,especially for for places that are good like15700:11:31.279 --> 00:11:35.679that, like Miami is kind oflike that too, where it's awesome to15800:11:35.720 --> 00:11:41.519go visit, but if you livethere it's not, it's not as wonderful.15900:11:41.639 --> 00:11:45.559So, Um, but yeah,Callie, seems it seems like a16000:11:45.639 --> 00:11:50.120wonder like awesome all the time.It's just way too expensive.

Everything doesn't sound the same.17600:13:03.240 --> 00:13:07.600Not Everybody doing uh, you know, tramp or or you know,17700:13:07.720 --> 00:13:13.519the lifestyle type music. Everything hasits own sound, like everybody has his17800:13:13.600 --> 00:13:18.600own sound. Everybody going there attheir own pace. So that's that's the17900:13:18.639 --> 00:13:22.720difference, I would say, withAtlanta and UH, California, is just18000:13:22.200 --> 00:13:28.159everybody close Knick, yeah, andno lading everybody. It's like, you18100:13:28.200 --> 00:13:33.639know, you gotta know such andsuch, and that's pretty much where did18200:13:33.679 --> 00:13:37.320the comparisons come to me. Yougot to know such and such, but18300:13:37.399 --> 00:13:41.120after that it's just the type ofmusic they do and the type of Music18400:13:41.120 --> 00:13:48.159Andanta do is totally different. Yeah, I'm sure. The process, yeah,18500:13:48.320 --> 00:13:52.000that's that's what makes it great,though. So I know you said18600:13:52.120 --> 00:13:56.639that one of the ways to kindof check out if people are are worth18700:13:56.919 --> 00:14:00.519worth getting to know or not.As far as the industry goes. You18800:14:00.639 --> 00:14:03.480said, uh, you know,look, do your researching and everything like18900:14:03.519 --> 00:14:07.360that, but you kind of havea different approach and I don't know exactly19000:14:07.360 --> 00:14:09.960what it is, but you havea way to make these connections. Uh,19100:14:11.120 --> 00:14:15.600like, what do you think itis that makes it different from,19200:14:15.639 --> 00:14:20.799you know, some other some otherartists that maybe have exact same opportunities or19300:14:20.840 --> 00:14:22.399the exact same. You know,they do all the research, but then19400:14:22.440 --> 00:14:26.679they get in front of somebody,and what do you think goes wrong in19500:14:26.720 --> 00:14:30.360those situations? That they're not ableto make those same connections as you?19600:14:31.360 --> 00:14:33.799Ego, you gotta gotta notably.You know what I'm saying. You got19700:14:33.840 --> 00:14:37.840no wins to humble yourself. Um, just be willing to be coachable,19800:14:37.840 --> 00:14:43.279you know what I'm saying, orwilling to know coach too and announce ideas19900:14:43.279 --> 00:14:45.840of each other. You know whatI'm saying. So it's it's all about20000:14:45.840 --> 00:14:48.200your ego. A lot of alot of things go wrong because people egos20100:14:48.559 --> 00:14:52.120are bigger than it, than theroom. So if you keep your ego20200:14:52.159 --> 00:14:56.679and checking willing to be like ateam player, you don't have to worry20300:14:56.720 --> 00:15:01.639about, you know what I'm saying, relationships going bad and, uh,20400:15:01.879 --> 00:15:05.399meeting someone for the first time goingbad. It's all about how you how20500:15:05.480 --> 00:15:07.639your attitude and what type of energyyou bring to the table. So I20600:15:07.720 --> 00:15:11.000just say, yeah, your egois the main thing that we that would20700:15:11.039 --> 00:15:16.240really mess up a perfect opportunity.What did you what did you notice that?20800:15:16.480 --> 00:15:20.200Or is that something you was justa part of you? So it20900:15:20.240 --> 00:15:24.279wasn't that hard to you know.I mean it's always been important, it's21000:15:24.279 --> 00:15:28.679always been a part of me.It's just that, you know, Um,21100:15:28.840 --> 00:15:31.519I hear reviews of other people,you know what I'm saying, when21200:15:31.519 --> 00:15:33.279they talking about, Oh yeah,they rude or they know this and that,21300:15:33.440 --> 00:15:37.279but it wasn't. It was.But me personally, I was being21400:15:37.360 --> 00:15:39.879the type of be, you know, a team player. I played basketball,21500:15:39.919 --> 00:15:46.399I played football, played team sports. Team sports incorporated into my life.21600:15:46.480 --> 00:15:48.120You know, you can't win withouthaving the team and being a team21700:15:48.159 --> 00:15:52.279player and not being a team playeryou won't go far. So that's why21800:15:52.320 --> 00:15:56.080I say, I'll say, uh, learning to be a team player and21900:15:56.159 --> 00:16:00.960not having the ego bigger than theteam itself. So that would I'll say.22000:16:02.159 --> 00:16:07.080Have you personally, have you seenthat or come across people like that?22100:16:07.519 --> 00:16:10.519Yeah, yeah, I played,I played sports, so of course22200:16:10.519 --> 00:16:15.480you'll see somebody selfish or see somebodythink they are bigger than everybody on the22300:16:15.559 --> 00:16:21.080team or think they the main guyor whatever, you know, and uh,22400:16:21.480 --> 00:16:26.120and just yeah, then if youhad that time of attitude, team22500:16:26.200 --> 00:16:30.360chemistry goes damn or round goes downand you know, uh, then you22600:16:30.559 --> 00:16:33.240have like people don't want to playwith you or they don't want to be,22700:16:33.279 --> 00:16:36.960you know, associated with you.Yeah, type of things. So22800:16:37.159 --> 00:16:42.320how you create enemies? Yeah,but the bird bridge. This part is22900:16:44.039 --> 00:16:47.960it's like you burn one bridge andsomebody figures out that you burned the bridge.23000:16:48.000 --> 00:16:55.440It's like you're done, like don'teven try. Yeah, who has23100:16:55.519 --> 00:17:00.320been the biggest surprise that you know, you've been working with or well with,23200:17:00.480 --> 00:17:02.600and then they're like, oh,hey, I know this person that23300:17:02.639 --> 00:17:04.920could help you out with that,because it doesn't seem like something that you23400:17:06.200 --> 00:17:08.960actively search for. It's kind ofjust organic, which I think is very23500:17:10.079 --> 00:17:15.640unique in itself. So what's thebiggest or most memorable situation in that right23600:17:15.640 --> 00:17:21.200now? Man Working with bill ofman, just working with no my team23700:17:21.359 --> 00:17:25.839or Curti, drow Dre meers,and you know, uh, that that23800:17:25.839 --> 00:17:30.319that the whole squad right there.Business.

It's not about being,24300:17:49.680 --> 00:17:53.960Oh uh, keeping everything for yourself. It's about hip and the next man24400:17:55.519 --> 00:17:59.559because, hey, they eat,we all eat. Type thing. Yeah,24500:17:59.720 --> 00:18:02.359so a lot of people don't understandthat. People want to be first24600:18:02.359 --> 00:18:07.319and everything, but it's all aboutno resources. You've got resources, Hey,24700:18:07.319 --> 00:18:11.920just no, give them to somebodyyou know we're going to really use24800:18:11.960 --> 00:18:17.160them and use them properly.

Do you think25400:18:37.119 --> 00:18:41.039that's something? You know, backin the day, maybe, or nineties25500:18:41.160 --> 00:18:48.359or nineties, people kind of saltrappers as Um, unattainable in the sense25600:18:48.400 --> 00:18:52.799that they are very high sadus.I feel like that's changed a lot because,25700:18:53.440 --> 00:18:56.039Um, I'm trying to be thebest. You just kind of said25800:18:56.039 --> 00:18:59.440it, uh, the artists,that I have to be the best.25900:18:59.519 --> 00:19:02.680I'm the best trap. But there'sa lot of that beef.

And for the bigger artists.26100:19:07.279 --> 00:19:11.920Uh Me, honestly, I don'treally pay attention to bigger artists because26200:19:11.000 --> 00:19:15.720they really not know, they don'twrap about things.

It's Uh, if you don't,27900:20:19.839 --> 00:20:25.359you're not in hip hop, oryou're not hip hop if you don't b28000:20:25.640 --> 00:20:30.079o G. Yeah, but that'sUm, it's interesting because those artists,28100:20:30.599 --> 00:20:34.079Um, like currency and Larry Juneand the ones that you just mentioned.28200:20:34.599 --> 00:20:40.920They their style is it's similar toyour style, and you know it can't28300:20:40.920 --> 00:20:44.440it's your style and you know thatstyle. kind of feel like it's been28400:20:44.480 --> 00:20:49.480flying under the radar. I feellike it's talent again that's driving the industry.28500:20:51.200 --> 00:20:53.920How do you think it's been overthe different genres? Like what genre28600:20:53.960 --> 00:20:56.640over the past, and I knowgenre is kind of a big, you28700:20:56.680 --> 00:21:03.000know, concept of that doesn't existsin reality, but over the recent years,28800:21:03.440 --> 00:21:07.400what in hip hop have you seen? That was probably like a huge28900:21:07.480 --> 00:21:15.000mistake, that that threw off thewhole culture a little bit. Yeah,29000:21:15.200 --> 00:21:22.519I say. I say the socialmedia, like publicity and Um, people,29100:21:22.640 --> 00:21:25.279you know what I'm saying, doingdoing crazy stuff, trying to get29200:21:25.799 --> 00:21:30.200go borrow and all that type things, and just being out there, just29300:21:30.079 --> 00:21:36.359being on social media every day justbrings out the toxic uh atmosphere with the29400:21:36.440 --> 00:21:38.400music and stuff like that. Showing, no, showing off of me.29500:21:40.119 --> 00:21:41.440That type of guy. But youknow what I'm saying. But I'd be29600:21:41.440 --> 00:21:45.119like Hey, man, do youman? Whatever makes you know, get29700:21:45.200 --> 00:21:48.039you get you up. Hey,cool with but me personally, you just29800:21:48.240 --> 00:21:52.119I would say it's just like alot of the the publicity on social media,29900:21:52.359 --> 00:21:57.119all the crazy stunts and stuff.So that's terrible. So, Um,30000:21:57.160 --> 00:22:00.559so, if somebody came to you, because it's kind of along the30100:22:00.599 --> 00:22:03.599stand lines, and they're like,Hey, you got a record deal,30200:22:04.640 --> 00:22:08.960uh, it's a three sixty.So you know, you gotta do everything30300:22:10.000 --> 00:22:11.240I say and I give you allthis money, but you have to pay30400:22:11.240 --> 00:22:17.519it back when you start making moneyversus what you're doing now. But it30500:22:17.599 --> 00:22:21.400might take longer and you might overallmake less money. Which one do you30600:22:21.440 --> 00:22:25.440think would be your choice? Imean, it depend on person situation.30700:22:25.960 --> 00:22:29.559I really can't say. You know, whatever a person think it's good for30800:22:29.599 --> 00:22:32.799them. I say, you know, let them choose what they think it's30900:22:32.839 --> 00:22:36.720good for them, because you neverknow, uh, somebody's situation like three31000:22:36.720 --> 00:22:40.160six deal might be good for them. Yeah, and then you know,31100:22:40.400 --> 00:22:42.039just the other route might be abetter rap for, you know, for31200:22:42.079 --> 00:22:47.160whoever. So, yeah, it'sabout for you. Yeah, Um me,31300:22:47.359 --> 00:22:49.279I'd rather I'd rather just say likedo, do what I'm doing.31400:22:49.400 --> 00:22:53.720Just be indie. Yeah, allright. Yeah, I'm not too big.31500:22:55.000 --> 00:22:56.039I don't really care about it,trying to, you know, be31600:22:56.039 --> 00:23:00.920be signs and thin, because it'sa lot of policy that come with it.31700:23:00.440 --> 00:23:06.200Yeah, and there's a lot ofthings that come with so me personally,31800:23:06.279 --> 00:23:10.240I'll just say I would say stayindependent and uh, like as a31900:23:10.240 --> 00:23:14.640lot of other artists would say,stay independent. Um, they knew what32000:23:14.680 --> 00:23:18.799was going on with the record companiesand plus, you really don't need a32100:23:18.839 --> 00:23:21.440record label. The only thing youneed a record label for it is pretty32200:23:21.519 --> 00:23:23.200much promo, like, you know, get you on radios and get you32300:23:23.240 --> 00:23:27.319in places that you can't reach.But you know, they got this resources32400:23:27.359 --> 00:23:33.640and whatnot. So do you thinkthat most people know that? I mean,32500:23:33.920 --> 00:23:37.079it depends. It depends on what. If they research, it's all32600:23:37.119 --> 00:23:44.880about research. Yeah, I feellike, uh, the whole the messaging32700:23:45.000 --> 00:23:48.799is still the same, at leastthe kids who are coming up, you32800:23:48.839 --> 00:23:51.000know, the twenty year olds whoare trying to make it. They're like,32900:23:51.000 --> 00:23:53.000Oh, I want to record deal, like, do you want to33000:23:53.039 --> 00:23:56.480record deal? I don't, youknow, I think it's an education thing33100:23:56.680 --> 00:24:03.799that needs to be a focus,versus is all this cloud bullshit. But33200:24:03.839 --> 00:24:07.200where do you think the music industry? Uh, in the HIP hop world.33300:24:07.240 --> 00:24:11.160Where do you think that's had itat this point? UH, head33400:24:11.200 --> 00:24:15.640into the artists. The artists reallytake control. It's like a gold rush,33500:24:15.759 --> 00:24:18.759like you know, everybody got thesegot their own equipment, got their33600:24:18.799 --> 00:24:22.920own engineers, Um, got allthese resources to to really start your own33700:24:23.000 --> 00:24:27.640label. You really don't need abig record label to get your music out33800:24:27.720 --> 00:24:30.839and Promos just I just need ateam. If you have a team,33900:24:30.920 --> 00:24:34.319you have equipment and you have somebodythat can mix it. See, you34000:24:34.440 --> 00:24:37.839got the majority of that part outthe way. It's just all about the34100:24:37.880 --> 00:24:41.480Promo. Promo is the main thingthat Um, that's that's we'll get you34200:24:41.559 --> 00:24:45.319out there and get you noticed.Yeah, I mean I think you've got34300:24:45.359 --> 00:24:49.279lucky, but I also think,uh, it's your approach and maybe your34400:24:49.319 --> 00:24:55.200age a little bit. You know, I think nowadays it's way better and34500:24:55.480 --> 00:24:59.640I think they trust people, trustartists more, at least from the business34600:24:59.640 --> 00:25:04.319side, if you're twenty five orolder, because anybody who's I mean they're34700:25:04.359 --> 00:25:11.960just legally learning how to act asa drunk person because they're allowed to drink,34800:25:11.599 --> 00:25:15.640and so it's just a hot mess. But so that's why I always34900:25:15.640 --> 00:25:21.759worry about anybody trying to come upwhen they're that young. I would trust35000:25:22.559 --> 00:25:26.200you in the music world to doshows and to do all that versus like35100:25:26.200 --> 00:25:30.480a twenty year old. So Ithink that's actually what the industry is looking35200:25:30.519 --> 00:25:37.000for as a big part of thedecisions to move forward with a particular artist,35300:25:37.200 --> 00:25:42.960just Um, and the General FirstImpressions, which I think Um,35400:25:44.440 --> 00:25:47.640which I think you do well.So what has put you on the path35500:25:47.720 --> 00:25:52.359to like kind of like a hugestep forward? Oh, just just pay35600:25:52.400 --> 00:25:56.880attention to know the environment. No, pay attention who UH is moving,35700:25:57.160 --> 00:26:00.000you know, and WHO's trying tomove and WHO's trying to, you know,35800:26:00.119 --> 00:26:04.240get get somewhere, instead of no, just being hanging around people that's35900:26:04.319 --> 00:26:08.200just in the same spot. Justsee how people move pretty much and see36000:26:08.240 --> 00:26:11.319they're on the same way, butyou, because they're on the same way36100:26:11.319 --> 00:26:15.119with you, you're gonna connect.Then once you connect with them, they're36200:26:15.119 --> 00:26:18.119gonna have other people that you knowtrying to move and they know somebody and36300:26:18.200 --> 00:26:22.799they know somebody. It's like it'slike a ladder. The more, the36400:26:22.839 --> 00:26:25.960more people know, the more piecesyou have and how you're gonna get you36500:26:25.960 --> 00:26:27.880know what I'm saying. So isthat how you find uh? I know36600:26:29.000 --> 00:26:34.880a lot of times you have somefemales who do some amazing their very talented36700:26:34.920 --> 00:26:37.400singers. How do you is thathow you find them, or do you36800:26:37.559 --> 00:26:41.359kind of just look on instagram?How does that work for you? I36900:26:41.400 --> 00:26:47.559just had Um, just it justtwins, like twins. Uh had no,37000:26:47.559 --> 00:26:49.640no artists. Then, you know, I meet them and you know,37100:26:49.839 --> 00:26:52.720and they're dope artists. All theall the artists, all the female37200:26:52.799 --> 00:26:57.160artists I've met are dope artists,like and the twins. No music.37300:26:57.440 --> 00:27:02.000And then, you know, theybugged me in with him. So now37400:27:02.039 --> 00:27:08.799I got connected with those female artists, which is like no great and so37500:27:10.680 --> 00:27:12.920from that point it's just like man, just building, building and building and37600:27:12.960 --> 00:27:19.559building.
