00:00I'm very jealous that you got to hang out with Delisa and with like...
00:04Honestly...
00:05I got a pretty drunk.
00:06Yeah, you did.
00:08What was the thing?
00:08I was like...
00:09If I...
00:10If I couldn't answer the question, then she would do a shot.
00:12And I'm an open boxer.
00:13She had to do a lot of shots.
00:15Well, now we have to arrange shots together, by the way.
00:17All right, we got to do it.
00:18So, I mean, you've had an incredible...
00:20All the artists you're working with, like...
00:22And then to come to Grammy week, like...
00:23I feel like you're the kind of guy that might...
00:25I'm trying to find somebody else.
00:25Do you come to these events and you're like,
00:27I'm going to find a collaboration tonight?
00:28My vibe is I'm just trying to find...
00:30And then a vibe and friends and then...
00:32I mean, I think if you're two creative people, it kind of...
00:35Inevitably will happen in the same way that, like...
00:37I don't know, if you're out to dinner, you're going to have a good conversation.
00:40If you're with another artist, normally what happens is one of us is in the studio.
00:45We end up pulling up to another session and then we're like,
00:47Oh, should we write something?
00:48And, yeah.
00:50I mean, you are such a, like, open book, like you said, such a party.
00:53Do you ever come to, like...
00:55Grammy week events and feel like it's stuffy or whatever?
00:57Or do you just steal yourself no matter where you go?
00:58No, I just think it's fun.
01:00Even when it's...
01:01Even when I'm a bit...
01:01Even when I'm awkward, it's fun.
01:04I think, like...
01:05Even when I don't know what to say, I just say the first thing that comes to my head.
01:09And we got to talk about...
01:10India, man.
01:10India was fucking mad.
01:12Watching you in India, I was so...
01:15It was fucking insane.
01:16Honestly, it was the craziest place ever.
01:20What was your favorite part about being over there?
01:21I think the people.
01:22Like, honestly, I've been really searching...
01:25Looking for, like, a level of depth like that.
01:28And it was...
01:30It was just beautiful to just hang out with them all.
01:33And just...
01:34I didn't know rock...
01:35The music was so big in India.
01:36And I was like, holy fucking...
01:37Like, you know what I mean?
01:38When you go to a place for the first time...
01:40And there were 70,000 people at our first gig.
01:42I was like, shit.
01:43This is crazy.
01:43Yeah, it was cool, man.
01:44It was cool.
01:45And we did all the vibe.
01:46The food was great.
01:48Yeah, and the fucking crowd was...
01:50I went to Gordon.
01:50I went to a temple and shit.
01:51It was awesome.
01:52Wow, amazing.
01:53And then lastly, we had the Best New Artist Party.
01:55Right in the category you've had your eye on.
01:56Yeah, 100%.
01:56I think Addison Rae should win.
01:58Oh, wow.
01:59I think...
02:00That album was the most innovative and bizarre.
02:05And strange and surprising.
02:09You know what I mean?
02:09I was...
02:10I was like, I did not think that I would...
02:12Who's this?
02:13Hey!
02:15How are you doing, brother?
02:16We're good.
02:16Yeah.
02:17You've been ages, man.
02:18How are you doing?
02:19Good.
02:19It's awesome.
02:20Thank you so much, man.
02:24Get out of here.
02:25Listen on the track, okay?
02:25I'd be cool, man.
02:26Rock and roll.
02:28See you later.
