00:34it was a uh it was a lot of dope artists that came out uh you know uh it was it was a good it was a
00:41good look for a lot of upcoming artists people who's already pretty much established uh i've
00:46performed as well i did a few songs um positive tracks is what i'm pushing out i did a song uh
00:55track called save detroit which is a positive uh track that i got going on word save is uh
01:01the acronym yeah i may be telling you all violence everywhere yeah and it's pretty much speaking
01:05against gun violence and then i also did another one uh single mothers or you know to uplift you
01:10know single mothers out there across the world fly what happened man how was the how was the
01:15showcase oh man it was dope it was a nice turnout on gladiator did his thing suki came out she did
01:20their thing man and you know it was a good turnout for everybody the city really turned up and we
01:24doing another show we working on another one next to blow with uh calves down now yeah so let me ask
01:29y'all both this what was that like performing in front of the city like that some of them your peers
01:32and others people you don't even know what did that energy feel like uh from the city
01:37i mean i mean uh for me it was like uh it was it was it was a pleasure to do that uh you know
01:48because it was a it wasn't you know i consider myself pretty good you know but it was a lot of great
01:54talent out there so uh it was dope you know it wasn't a dull moment far as what i seen
02:00that's what's up it was a well put together show that's what's up yeah me um i love giving back to
02:06the city so it's just always a highlight for me but i like performing at um other states too and
02:11stuff like that but the city always show love but i've i'll go to like bigger stuff like rolling
02:15loud and stuff and it'd be like a bigger love so it's kind of natural to me right now so i really
02:20love like what detroit doing right now how we trying to bring unity back to the city though
02:23yeah facts uh i talked with um dr darius and he talked about that was the reason why he did the
02:31313 day is because he wanted to bring more unity basically what y'all are doing um that was his
02:37dream for the 313 day so artists like you guys was his vision how did you guys link up man how did
02:42you guys meet what who met cinta uh you know how did that work oh i talk uh really ikeisha baker man
02:50ikeisha baker hooked up everything she on it if she's right here y'all y'all can't see on the yeah
02:54ikeisha baker yeah but ikeisha she showed us a lot of love man she connected us together and we all
03:00been working ever since been doing shows we trying to bring the old bullfrog black shout out to club
03:04tain shout out to tain too for showing us so much love okay yeah right you talk about being a positive
03:11artist yeah okay describe what that looks like for you uh well uh from the start you know i've been
03:19through everything that you could possibly you know been through you know as far as the struggle
03:24stuff like that i've been through the streets um i was incarcerated uh and i see that that light
03:32that life that i was living it only got me the same results because i didn't change certain things like
03:38you could change your environment but if you don't change your mindset you'll end up with the same
03:41results so um when i a lot of music i was making in the beginning was leaning toward
03:48the streets and stuff like that you know the older i got mentally i'm like man that ain't where i'm at
03:53no more and i don't feel comfortable you know what i'm saying right right staying in that type of lane
03:57so i just jumped in the lane of my own so everything i've been doing since then been positive
04:01and everybody who know me they know that it was a big you know i'm saying change from how i used to
04:08carry myself how i used to rep to what i'm doing now so that's why you know my rap name and
04:13is my government name right is it hard to push positivity for you in a world where you see so
04:21much negative stuff no because i do it from the heart so that ain't never nothing to do that's
04:26hurt when it's coming from the heart the acronym save what did you say it stand for stopping all
04:31violence everywhere you came up with that my homeboy john williams he got the movement uh he created it
04:37early 2000s and you know uh we we speak to like the youth the young boys and stuff like that to
04:43give them inspirations you know things of that nature like i say i was incarcerated before so a
04:47lot of times when i go to these events and i speak to the young kids i'm just giving them advice and
04:51you know i'm saying useful tools for them to try to avoid the life that i live because i know
04:56most of them don't come from households with fathers big brothers uncles who care about them or try to
05:01start them in the right direction so that's why all of the things that that i do as far as music
05:07and outside of music i just walk in a different direction you got what i'm saying talk about you
05:13being incarcerated man because you i feel like a lot of people come out of there it's one or two ways
05:18you're gonna go back to what you was doing or you can change your patterns and i feel like for you
05:21you changed the patterns what what did that do for you being incarcerated well for um i started off
05:28when i was in there man um i think people like to glorify the stuff in jail especially now you see
05:34what i'm saying like they make it look like a i mean you know it's vacation if you really care
05:38about your family you know when you in there you know you making them hurt they doing the time with
05:45you when i was in there i lost both of my parents damn you know what i'm saying so like that right there
05:51like nah that ain't that's not cool you know they never most of the most of the people who you think
05:57you cool with far as like the guys you hang out with it's a good chance they're gonna try to holler
06:01at your girl your girl will leave you hanging it's it's it's too much of a mental drainage
06:07going through stuff like that so a lot of times when people do come home they they change their
06:14mindset but they don't change their environment you got what i'm saying so you could be a changed
06:18person but if you go back to the same environment no matter how much good you try to do people will
06:22try to pull you to the old ways so you have to change your environment and your mindset together
06:26and that's how you get a different result what if you're not financially able to change your
06:31environment what advice would you give somebody to that's stuck in the environment that they so if
06:35you're not financially able to change your environment you are in control where you go
06:40at all times and that's what you gotta bring you know from a spiritual perspective you gotta
06:44have god with you you gotta yeah you got what i'm saying yeah yeah i like that so at all times you
06:48just gotta be you know for number one you gotta think that you're a valuable person because
06:54everybody was made you know so uniquely it's not i could have a twin brother but he's not going to
06:59think how i think thanks so the you have to value yourself like you're a very important person so
07:05when you go to certain places you have to stop and remind yourself is this place safe for me and if
07:11you question that it's not going to be safe it's a good chance it's not safe to go you got what i'm
07:15saying i got you take if you've been taken off off this earth there's a lot of people who go lose you
07:19i mean miss you if you're gone so don't put yourself in situations where you know you can
07:24end up in you know because it's easy to get in trouble hard to get out there that's a fact
07:28fly boy rich man you got so much going on man first of all where do you want to start because
07:33i saw you um you sent me the next to blow you started with that in terms of like the next one
07:38that's coming up you got some new music going out right now uh watch it so man where do you want
07:43to start man oh man we can start with the watch it then okay let's start with the watch it man that record
07:47is out right now um the artist on there that you feature with ptk how you say his last name ptk
07:52how did that happen how did that collaboration come about me and him collab we was at the
07:56107.5 showcase so we ended up linking up there and then from there we just ended up buying it so
08:01me and satin media his team jd and everybody so we all linked up together and then we started
08:06working on the project together so we trying to do a collab maybe a ep together or something like
08:11that okay and try to like bridge between a different genre type of thing so i see he into more
08:16like a rock or a new age type genre and then i do more like hip-hop and lyric type vibe so you
08:21know we trying to bridge that gap and bring like a new type of sound together why was that important
08:25for you to try to bridge that gap because i when i heard it i'm like whoa crazy different not in a
08:31bad way but it was just like no his energy yeah the energy you can change yeah yeah so why was it
08:37important for you to be like okay let's bridge this gap uh it was just because i just felt like we can
08:42work together and he felt like that he couldn't get into that uh mixed genre too because he like
08:46hip-hop as well so he wanted to bridge that gap too and i'm like you know i dabble into all type of
08:51stuff too so i got an edm artist and all type of stuff so i dabble into different type of genres as
08:56well so i just felt like i could help him bridge that gap me doing like producing and doing all the
09:00other stuff i do so okay were you nervous because yeah when like go too new people be like
09:09and i've seen it happen where they like yeah no facts facts yeah and they like yeah buddy this ain't
09:15it no does that make you nervous no it was more so filling the vibes out first before we even work
09:19so you know what i'm saying it was more of us talking before i even wanted to jump into doing
09:23the projects and stuff like that so it was more so filling them out before we even worked on the
09:26project so i could understand where his mindset was at what was something that made you
09:30feel like okay this guy is it like this is a vibe that i want to you know it was just his style and
09:36like how he didn't care and you know the drive he had to him too so you know i'm saying he got a lot
09:40of energy and heart for his stuff too he got a lot of passion to his music so what you know you said
09:45you want to do a collaboration project with him yeah we're working on a collaboration project is there
09:49a date for it yet have y'all started working on it yeah we started working on a few tracks so top of
09:53the year i want to say sometime top of the year nice uh the next to blow you got a show next week
09:58right what is that uh we got one this friday actually um at club tain and then we got one
10:04saturday um it used to be called the sloppy crab but they changed the name now but we got a show
10:09there saturday okay you send me one for next wednesday do you remember that one it's like
10:15the 22nd i have to look through yeah yeah i'm gonna have to look through it too but i feel like
10:18see i'm saying y'all he got so much going on yeah man i do want to ask you i seen you um something
10:25about rock nation what is the oh yeah i'm working with rock nation right now so we got the compilation
10:29done right now and that project should be dropping uh february what i don't want to say this what
10:37seeing all the things that's going on with the nikki minaj and the rock nation and jay-z
10:43man what made you still want to still work with rock nation um it was just the partnership i had
10:48with the people um personally you know what i'm saying because i talked to people more on the
10:51business side more than like the average artist so it's me talking to the executives and the a and
10:57r's personally just to help them with stuff like that you always talk about again we said this last
11:02time the business aspect of it um i see you doing a twitch stream talking about the business aspect of
11:08again music what made you want to start that man i think people that's important yeah i mean i always
11:14wanted to start the twitch streaming but the business side i just felt like you always need to know
11:18that part like always staying like ahead of the game because it's always going to be something
11:21going on like as far as streaming you see people always having a problem with the spotify's and
11:25stuff like that they worry about not getting enough streams and stuff like that but they're not worried
11:29about the other royalties and stuff you can get too and then they're missing out on like the radio
11:33side of everything like people need to come back to the radio sides and stuff too because the radio help
11:37get an audience right i want to ask you man um do you feel like the type of music that you do gets lost
11:46nowadays nowadays because of the type of music that's being put out uh uh yeah no uh i say yeah
11:55only because some well a lot of people they want to hear that but they choose not to because i
12:02think that is man because we live in a society where everybody is is going off the next person's
12:07opinion so so i might hear i'm just saying example of a person i might hear a dope song to me i feel
12:13like that song hot but i built up this image around everybody else to where i'm not gonna play
12:19it in front of y'all but i'll play it in my car where i play it when i'm at home because i'm like
12:23man that's like a a soothing therapeutic type of song a song that i can relate to but because
12:29everybody is is following the trend it's not you got what i'm saying right so that's that's one thing
12:35that kind of like keeps me with that balance like i know it's people that that need to hear this type
12:41of music so that's what keeps me going i'm gonna ask y'all both y'all can um every artist that i've
12:47had in here that are lyricists and they have a message and things of that nature right i've always
12:52i always ask them like what makes you want to do you know continue to be a lyricist man um i asked
12:59you that i'm gonna ask you that but what what makes you want to continue to be a lyricist bro
13:04uh because now i feel like it's coming back yeah in a strong way yeah so it's like for me
13:10uh the most important part of that question is when i realized how powerful my voice was
13:17like i'm a role model and whether i like it or not you know i'm saying if i say or do something
13:24people go either take the good out of it or the bad out of it but once i realize that my voice is
13:29powerful then i try to make it worth hearing every time people hear me so being a lyricist yeah i take
13:35time and i you know i give you know props to to all the the the lyrical people before me that
13:43inspire me on this journey to become an artist itself but yeah once i learned that my voice was
13:48powerful i'm like yeah i'm gonna go ahead and make sure i paint a picture with this art
13:53flybo rich i want to ask you again man what makes you continue to want to be
13:57a lyricist in the times that we living in it's just the uh i feel like i'm helping the younger
14:03artists and i'm like bridging that gap because the younger artists kind of listen to my music too so i
14:08get a lot of messages from younger artists and younger um fans so they kind of like what i'm doing
14:13too so i feel like the lyrical side is still there it's like people want to hear it but they just
14:18veering off to the other side because they ain't hearing too many lyrical sides of stuff so
14:22it's like it's being like blocked out or something so i feel like i still want to be lyrical because
14:27it's helping other artists and the stuff they hearing it's like more powerful it's hitting them
14:31in the chest more and it's making them it's uplifting them more have y'all worked together
14:34like in terms of music or y'all just been you know y'all just vibe together oh we've been hanging but
14:38we working on the track for sure okay is there is there like oh so it's not no music yet or
14:43no not yet but we working on them oh y'all working on them okay um hey i thought about a collab
14:47project at all yeah yeah for sure oh y'all didn't get all of that huh have y'all set a date for any
14:52of that man what's going on set a date for it but we definitely working on it how many tracks y'all got
14:56done already uh shit a lot really what y'all waiting on bro let's just work you gotta let it
15:04marinate you gotta cook it up at the right temperature man i feel it yeah there's certain
15:09tracks yeah there's certain stuff going back to the question you asked about you know why is lyrics
15:12so important you know like you know it's like we painting the picture and and it's it's easy to just
15:19you know a b c d e f g right right you know what i'm saying but once we know that people listening
15:24we want it to be like you know the steps to you got what i'm saying so we want to make sure it's
15:30because you can't get a second chance to make a first impression facts so that's that's all you
15:35know yeah and it's like with him you know i'm saying he just bringing coming back out and he
15:39bringing himself back out and me i'm already like more established moving around and stuff so
15:43kind of want to like bring him up and you know keep his own sound to him you know i'm saying i don't
15:48really want to like them to reverting then try to get to like what i'm doing they want to match
15:53it up to me and him and like make it like a versus like oh who the most lyrical i want them to know
15:57like that's good competition though man i think like we need that yeah but i want them to know
16:01he's still pushing this positive method in the first thing you know i'm saying so i want that to
16:05be the first thing they know like he pushing this positive message instead of like oh they just
16:08more lyrical artists like that so i just wanted to be more of a positive message pushing right now
16:13before we do everything else so i wanted to establish that message that he doing right now like the
16:17testimonies and the safety choices i just also just dropped one uh it's called october awareness
16:22it's for breast cancer okay nice so uh that was uh you know just a month of october the whole breast
16:29cancer awareness but it's just cancer in general like i i have a few people personally that was
16:33affected by it um so that's what you know got me the inspiration to drop that track but you know
16:40that's all right now all social media platforms one thing y'all do do both of y'all um
16:45you talk about pain and and um doing positive things but y'all don't make it traumatic and make
16:54you like go do what i did like you said you've been incarcerated but you ain't telling nobody to
16:59go do this and go to jail right you see what i'm saying um yeah avoid it at all
17:03so i guess my question is you know given that that's the
17:10i guess given that that's the you know the easy thing to do to normal to to show people that pain
17:18and influence them with that same pain i did opposite was that conscientious y'all did that
17:23or it just kind of happened that to be that way you see what i'm saying well you want to go first
17:28you go first go ahead all right for me uh to be honest um i had a few people that inspired me
17:34like uh that i know that they was in the same situation as me incarcerated and they came home
17:41and they changed their lives you know what they say to you bro uh it was it was based off the
17:47actions not what they said because a lot of people would tell you like hey don't do this
17:51but one person was you know i'm saying uh my big bro nugget you know i'm saying he inspired me a lot
17:57and then my little cousin uh matt you know i'm saying yeah right with me okay what i'm saying
18:03matt uh he he got a lot going on he was you know incarcerated as well he came home he got to writing
18:10uh scripts um plays movies all types that's hard that's what's all that right there just seeing
18:16that it didn't go from you know just talking about don't do this don't do that it was the
18:21action that was like damn bro if i know i know you came from this and you doing this and you
18:26uplifting so many people so you know that's that was my reason why nice so i want to give a shout
18:32out to you know my dog nugget and my cousin matt black what about you man was that a conscientious
18:38decision or you just kind of it just happened yeah it was kind of more conscious because it was
18:42like growing up in the lifestyle that i was in like growing up in the red zone as a kid it was more
18:46so like seeing all the people around me dying seeing friends passing in front of me getting shot at and
18:51stuff like that so it's like that environment wasn't something that you want to be in like even
18:55if you wasn't in a gang you were still getting shot at and stuff like that so just being in that area
18:59and being surrounded by stuff like that and then you seeing the other stuff you seeing like
19:04the local drug dealers or something they showing you all the high lifestyles and then you don't want
19:07to you they don't want that to twist your mind up and think that's the only way you can make money and
19:12stuff like that so i just want to show people another side of stuff like you can make money a different way
19:17now you gotta talk about the kids too man y'all got kids yeah yeah i got four was that another
19:23reason why y'all decided i ain't doing yeah definitely you know growing up and then living
19:27in that environment you don't want your kids to be going through the repeated cycles so you know
19:30what i'm saying you want to try to break that kind of generational curse that we got going on and like
19:34show them a better light for sure nice if i got four of them i got two girls two boys oh yeah i try to
19:40show my daughters the example of what a man's supposed to be like and i try to show my sons
19:45you know the right path to go in and also avoid everything i've been through you know because i
19:51i personally feel like it's a quote they say a father is the only person that will want a son to
19:58be better than him yeah like in the whole world like you have you know your brothers your cousins
20:03everybody but your father is the only person that will want you to be better than them so no kids want to
20:08rap or do music uh no not really no my kids be youtube one of them yeah that's the thing yeah
20:16yeah all right last thing i'm gonna let y'all both get up out of here i want y'all to tell everybody
20:20what y'all got going on which i got the music definitely tell them when y'all gonna do yard
20:25collaboration because i'm waiting on that so yeah um yeah we'll start with you right okay uh as far as
20:30music uh i got that the track save detroit it's a inspiration uplifting song it's not just for detroit's
