00:00You are having a busy summer you have a new album dropping at the end of this week
00:05You just announced a tour, how are you feeling?
00:07I feel amazing, it's been a long day but
00:10I'm really excited to see this movie
00:12Like no gas, even if this camera wasn't here
00:15I'll just be telling you like Moe Betta, Malcolm X, Inside
00:20These are some of my favorite movies ever
00:22And I think
00:25Denzel has a knack for storytelling
00:27Spike has a knack for storytelling
00:29And to see
00:30To see them come together and do this at this point in my life is crazy
00:35What makes Spike Lee such a special director to you?
00:39To me
00:40Well one, Spike takes full control of his projects
00:43You know, he's like
00:44He's
00:45Extremely hands on
00:46And then he also like
00:48Has a
00:50A style of writing that I think really like
00:53Does great characterization without like
00:55Always trying to advance the plot
00:57So you get a lot of like
00:58Just colorful conversation
01:00And even like
01:01I was just talking about
01:02Denzel coming from the stage a second ago
01:04Like he comes from
01:05You know, stage acting and theater
01:06And
01:07Spike kind of writes his dialogue
01:09As like
01:10Like you shout it
01:11Like it's all like
01:12You know, kinda
01:13I love it
01:14Theatrical
01:15I want to talk about your new album
01:16How is this maybe
01:17A departure
01:18Or an evolution
01:19Of your
01:20Pre-
01:20Previous work?
01:21I think the
01:22Biggest difference is that
01:23I learned a lot in this time
01:24Since I made my last
01:25album
01:26I spent a lot of time traveling
01:27You know, spending time in
01:28Ghana, West Africa
01:29And Jamaica
01:30And a lot of different communities
01:32Around the states
01:33And really just learning more about
01:34How
01:35To contextualize
01:36And
01:37And
01:38And
01:39I guess
01:40To
01:41Unpack some of the messages
01:42That I have
01:43And so I feel like
01:44The project
01:45Is
01:45You know, it's well written
01:46It's very witty
01:47It's cool
01:48But it also like
01:49Takes time to like
01:50Really break down certain
01:50Uh
01:51Certain ideas
01:52And an upcoming tour
01:53What can we expect?
01:54Yeah
