02:06very funny ribbon in the sky ribbon in the sky you're very funny well what's going on ribbon in
02:12the sky is the working title but right I think management want us to change it to cabin in the sky
02:17they feel like it'll be a little bit more management management always messing with the
02:22creative I totally agree with you I agree with you what a ribbon hits the wind yeah it's like the
02:29plastic bag in that movie with Kevin Spacey right but a cabin a cabin a cab how do you cabin is they
02:40feel a little bit more comfortable but how do you maintain a cabin in the sky is that will be hard
02:45but I mean I don't know projectile cabin could be but no seriously it could be what's happening
02:52with your friend I don't know he's nervous he laughs when he's nervous this is my first time

03:13cabin in the sky okay um because they're saying you're doing you're down with Nas on this one and
03:19yes Nas he's taking us under his wing um yes doing a great initiative of putting on unknown
03:26rappers yeah we have uh this album has about 20 tracks on it too many too many tracks you think
03:33people won't listen can't focus a lot it's just a lot of tracks but they're good tracks and I think
03:39what's cool is that you can listen a little bit put it down for a bit leave come back and it'll still
03:46be there are you telling me you guys are going with what they the quality route quality the qual
03:53okay okay because nowadays 20 tracks of garbage is it's too much yeah it is like an eight I like an
03:59eight track garbage garbage I got an eight track garbage album yeah there's a lot of eight tracks
04:06yeah and then sometimes they'll do like 20 tracks of garbage and it's just like a sanitation yeah it's
04:14too much yeah too much yeah they want to stream it they want to stream it what's going on with you
04:19and streaming I heard you guys didn't like it for a while no we didn't think it was the right route
04:25for us yeah and so we just kept our music off for I know a guy from Texas he's a comedian no it was
04:32about somebody didn't want us to stream oh wasn't allowing us to stream was it Thomas yeah
04:38Thomas Edison Thomas man Thomas man records Thomas man records man record I really think it was
04:46that sounds familiar Thomas man I had blocked it out my you know my did you ever see the episode of
04:52sex in the city where Blair Underwood played an A&R from Tommy boy records I did see that
04:57let me tell you something man I do not see a metrosexual man such as Blair Underwood playing
05:03A&R and Tommy boy records that's true I did see horrible casting that was that was horrible
05:11casting yeah oh yeah so you guys like you didn't like the streaming or you do like the streaming
05:16well I like the streaming yeah I don't like how they pay no they don't pay well yeah yeah they
05:21don't pay well but you know what you guys seem like you're on the right path thank you bro doing
05:25good good music you got a good career in front of you and as long as the people hear the music
05:30that's what you gotta let them hear you know I mean and like you said it has to be quality not
05:36quality quality music and then what's your what's your feelings on the hip-hop is good music it's just
05:43a lot of it sometimes it could be hard to find yeah like so it's like a really nice car parked amongst
05:49a bunch of garbage trucks and you gotta kind of swerve through it and find a game yeah it's a video
05:55game to find the good stuff the good stuff and the de la soul is good yeah okay really good what
06:00cabin in the sky what what makes you think people should listen to that um what do you think man I
06:06think it's comfortable music I think it's uh it's great music man it's good hip-hop um I think it um
06:14it have you heard it yeah I've heard it because you don't seem convinced no no I'm trying I'm trying
06:21to give you a a good example oh I'll never listen tell them well okay I'm not gonna listen to it
06:28I have no desire I think it's the epitome of joy and pain
06:32uh I think uh it's a record knows a little joy and pain I think it's a record every everyone
06:38in any age group can relate to because we all have dealt with loss yeah at some form in our life
06:45you know I lose my keys everything and I also feel like the album the album uh it is it is it rips
06:55away age appropriation oh in our in our genre it plays a part in getting rid of that whole age
07:04appropriation that we get attacked with in our in our genre yeah because they say the hip-hop is
07:08just for the for the for the youth for the youth every every genre started out with the youth of
07:14course you know of course you know we should you're admitting that you're old yeah I am I'm admitting
07:21I'm getting old I'm not old but I'm getting old and I think getting old is a privilege
07:27it means you're alive yes and allowed to do more and and being able to be young and dead yeah you
07:36can be or you could be young and gone someone told me you guys were dead well it was one time
07:45they told me that one time we were we died and resurrected they putting out a new album yeah well
07:49we resurrected we died and came back yeah yeah because being dead and then the next album being like
07:56we're spirits yeah we didn't think that would be a cool thing to do concepts concepts concepts in
08:02your albums very much so any people on your album we should be aware of um well the guy naz who we
08:10doing right right that's the mass appeal yes but so naz is on there he's a fan of yours i think he

09:02in that band we thought we just thought it would be serious we thought it would be a great thing to
09:07do so we could end up on jimmy fallon we don't really like what he does but yeah but it's a gateway
09:13to jimmy fallon you guys i like you guys you guys are smart you got you have to you know branding
