00:00How you feeling? I'm feeling good. I'm feeling good. I got some sleep or not. I don't know if it's delirium or excitement, but I'm in there. I'm locked.
00:09You're not performing. You just get to have fun?
00:12Crazy. You know what's crazy? I don't know what type of hunting you're doing when it comes to trying to know stuff, but I'm going to keep my mouth closed.
00:19And if you're right, she said it first.
00:22You can. Okay, that's fair. That's fair. Well, I do want to ask, you know, we also have just learned the passing of Sly Stone.
00:32You know, what would you say people should know about him and what he's meant to music?
00:36Man, it's so much that people borrow from Sly. Like, back then, it wasn't nobody to just say, oh, look, he took that, post that, he stole that.
00:45They just took it. So, like, to know that, and he played instruments, he played everything.
00:50And his voice, the way he's switching, he's incredible. You can hear tones of it in, like, Stevie Wonder.
00:55You can hear tones of it in all the greatest artists. That's how great he was.
00:59So, yeah, man, he rests in paradise today.
01:02Now, are you touring right now, or are you getting a little break?
01:05I'm on a little break. I've been working on my album, so I was, you know, I got to be focused. I got to be focused.
01:11I'm on that right now.
01:12You recording here in L.A.? Going back to New Orleans? How are you?
01:16I'm bringing the New Orleans to L.A. Yeah, I keep a little bubble in L.A. where I can just keep it.
01:20Super, you know, yeah.
01:23I'm excited to see you perform.
01:26No, I'm kidding.
01:27But I hope...
01:29We do have four icon trippies.
01:32I know, you did it.
01:35But I do want to ask of the four icon, you know, Kirk, Mariah, Snoop, Jamie.
01:41Who has most influenced you artistically?
01:43I would say Jamie Foxx.
01:45Jamie Foxx, he's influenced me so much.
01:48I'm goofy, so I always saw myself in him.
01:51He can sing.
01:52I always saw myself in that.
01:54And the way he channeled other people, whether it be like music or acting, that's literally how I create music.
02:00So, like, just seeing how he did it, it gave me so much, like, fuel.
02:05So, I want to see him get all the flowers, all of it.
02:08Are you going to be acting?
02:10How you know?
02:11You know what's crazy, girl?
02:13You don't have to keep your mouth closed.
02:17I ain't listening.
02:18I ain't going to say nothing until I lock in, but I'm in there.
02:21Okay.
02:21I...
02:22I...
