00:00What's up Essence Live? I'm Dana Blair and joining me now in the VIP is Dej Loaf. How are you doing?
00:11I'm great. I'm good. I'm good. I'm so sorry about that. Is this your first Essence Festival?
00:17It is actually. This is my first year here and I'm happy to be here, man. It's amazing.
00:23What are you doing while you're out here? Are you just checking out some of the shows? You're taking in some of the seminars?
00:28Well, I'll perform tomorrow. I want to catch a few shows. I don't know. I'm loving this right now. I don't know if Charlie Wilson's performing. I'm loving that right now. But yeah, I'm just here in spirit, man.
00:43Yeah, Charlie Wilson brings it each and every year. He has so much energy. Charlie Wilson got more energy than me, girl.
00:49I can only imagine. He's been one of my favorites since I was little. Honestly, I've worked.
00:56You have such a unique style about you. Who are you wearing? Do you style it yourself?
01:01I have a little help, but you know, I mean, I have my own style. I don't wear just anything, you know what I mean?
01:08So, Saint Laurent, framed jeans, you know, simple, cute.
01:13Cute yet comfortable.
01:14Cute and comfortable. Like, I don't wear just anything, like I say. I mean, with my schedule being so busy, I had to bring someone in and be like, yo, you know, get it all organized.
01:23But yeah, this is me. This is my style, man. If you see me in a dress, I chose it. If you see me in a, you know, a baggie, I chose it. You know, it's me.
01:34That's what's most important. Now, who else are you looking forward to seeing? Do you know about the festival lineup?
01:39Like, are you looking forward to seeing a Mariah or Diddy?
01:42Yo, I want to see the Diddy. I want to see the Diddy, y'all. Like, Diddy. Let me say Diddy.
01:48And when can we expect to hear some new music from you?
