00:00How does it feel to be back here at the Grammys?
00:02It feels amazing.
00:04I don't think there's ever a...
00:06Like that rip...
00:07You don't get that, like, oh, I've been here before.
00:08Every time it's brand new, so this is great.
00:10Yeah, this is great.
00:12What would it mean to win for this project, specifically?
00:15Specifically for this project would mean a lot to me,
00:18because the song Angel, I mean, it just, it meant so much to her.
00:22It means a lot to me.
00:24Yeah, so just to win for this project would be absolutely amazing.
00:28So much amazing music has come out in the past year.
00:31Who's an artist that you were listening to on repeat in 2023?
00:35Jean-Baptiste. I listen to a lot of Jean-Baptiste.
00:38I listen to a lot of Brandy, just because she's my friend, and I listen to her a lot.
00:42Also, this new kid named Trap Dickie.
00:45I don't even...
00:46He's just a really dope kid named Trap Dickie.
00:48I like him a lot.
00:49So, yeah, but I try to listen to a lot of anything, really, yeah.
00:52Now, this past year, writers and actors, you know, went on strike to fight for better contracts, better conditions.
00:59Do you think there's anything that recording artists and songwriters need to fight for?
01:05Songwriters? Yes.
01:08Songwriters...
01:09Songwriting is the best job in the world.
01:11As a songwriter, I stand firm in saying I could not pick a better job.
01:14We make...
01:16We don't make enough money, though.
01:18We get paid dead last, and we should fight to fix that.
01:21But I love the job.
01:23All you guys out there, I do love this job.
01:25Don't think it...
01:25It's the best job in the world.
01:26We just get paid last.
01:27Yeah.
01:28And what do you have coming up in 2024 that you're excited about?
01:32Wow.
01:34Well, Usher's album's dropping next week.
01:36I hope to be a part of that.
01:38Ragged Bone Man's album's dropping a little later this year.
01:40I'm excited to be a part of that.
01:42So a lot of things are just kind of up in the air.
01:43And you never know until they drop.
01:45But lots of projects I've been working on.
01:48Now, Usher performing at the Super Bowl next weekend.
01:50What's one song that you think has to make his set list?
01:53His least favorite song, yeah.
01:55He hates that song, but he has to perform it.
01:58And we need to hear it.
01:59That's going to be maybe either the song that starts it or the big finale.
02:03That's going to be the moment.
