02:56it's a it's a sober k um that's that's what i'm called i never really called myself that um it
03:04was
03:04it was a name that my brother triple b made up um in a song and i was playing drums
03:11in the band at the
03:12time and the people just started calling me that so um you know i'm uh born and raised in perth
03:19amble
03:20new jersey from uh you know trinidad and tobago immigrants first uh american born in the states
03:28and uh i mean that's i mean that's the long and short of it i don't whatever else you want
03:34to know
03:34you don't have to ask me because i got i got too much history to even uh to even uh
03:41dig for you to
03:42tell you what you want to know if it's reasonable if it's reasonable only if it's reasonable
03:48cool cool cool i hear you so so so how was it like man growing up in new jersey and
03:55what was that did
03:57that have an influence in your music it did it did um it was it was a strange uh kind
04:04of influence
04:04because where i grew up i wasn't um i was a street guy jarizzi what up true words what up
04:13um i was uh
04:18i was never i was i considered myself a street guy because i was always out there but i was
04:23never really
04:23a hood guy you know i came up in a very nice section of um per damn boy but here's
04:29the irony
04:30though here's the irony the area where i grew up is a very hidden uh situation when it comes to
04:38the
04:39slave trade in america so there there are um there's always been a legend of my hometown being
04:49in especially in jersey well jersey as a whole but my hometown in particular in new jersey um being
04:55haunted you know due to this uh you know my the city where i was born is uh was was
05:05a city a hundred
05:06years before america became a country this is how far back it goes and the street where i grew up
05:14even
05:14though it was the most affluent in the city very small city just a two and a half mile radius
05:20it uh it was the area where where trafficked africans were brought to the states and it was brought
05:32right up the street in the streets named high street and right on high street is a circle in the
05:39street
05:39and it's called market square and at market square that's where we were sold we were what was being
05:46sold at that market and right there at market square mo race what's up brother um right at markets
05:55right at market square is the first city hall in america um the city hall of perth and boy new
06:03jersey
06:03you also had the royal governance mansion right in that area so even though i came up well you know
06:12my uh
06:13my folks did well for themselves it was still very dark it's a very dark presence there and i um
06:23even though i had a crew with me all the time third world posse my people i was always known
06:29as a loner
06:30and you know being in those streets alone the darkness the cemetery the the history you know
06:41you kind of hear that in my music i have uh i have a darker side to to what i
06:46do and you know
06:48all that kind of um influenced the music
06:55well that's amazing that's amazing that's amazing so so so so so would you say um was it was it
07:01was
07:01it the production that came that started first or was it the rapping because i saw you played the drums
07:08yeah well i started playing the instrument stuff a little later on in life because early on i didn't
07:14really get to indulge the way i wanted to because at that you know early coming up i i went
07:22to uh my
07:23mother put me in a catholic school and that also kind of contributed to the dark feel influence because
07:33the roman catholic church is not very musical it's not like the baptist church and people are playing and
07:39doing stuff roman catholic catholic it's just like uh you know and just big dark church with the organs
07:49dark and everything you know so i kind of i had no choice but to kind of you know vibe
07:56with that
07:58and i wanted to go to public school to get into marching band and things like that my mom wasn't
08:03having it and by the time i got to high school i went to public high school but by the
08:08time i went there
08:09it was um all the prerequisites the play and the band and things like that were all messed up because
08:16i didn't have any training at that time so it wasn't until later on like in my late teens
08:23early 20s that i started really getting on instruments and stuff like that but when i did i started excelling
08:29you know so it was before that because of that just you know just so you know because of all
08:35that that's
08:36what made my attachment to hip-hop so strong because i didn't have a musical outlet that i wanted to
08:45express when it came to like instruments or other things so you know djing became like the first thing
08:52that i got into and i was djing and a couple of friends of mine who are still my people
08:59to this day
08:59third world posse what up i'm gonna see quest diav you know i mean all my people out in jurors
09:06you
09:06know these guys wanted to start a rap group and we started a little rap group it was called styling
09:12and profiling that's how far back you go you know you hear that styling and profiling else that's
09:17cool that's some classic hip-hop stuff yo because you know but i was supposed to be the dj but
09:26these
09:26guys weren't really moving or writing the rhymes so i just went ahead and you know i was so hungry
09:32and driven i started writing rhymes for them i didn't know what the hell i was doing you know and
09:38um
09:38that's kind of how it began you know for sure for sure for sure for sure because i mean uh
09:46because
09:46i was checking like was it the first one was it uh was it was it what was it something
09:53wait was it
09:54truth be told right truth be told yeah whoo how did that start wow well truth truth so truth be
10:06told
10:06that was um that was um that was like my second full length kind of project you know i had
10:17um i had
10:18done collaborations before that and then my first independent release was was called stillborn lives
10:24or stillborn lives right but um right but but uh truth be told was very significant because
10:34when i that record was done with shaman work records shaman work records was ran by um
10:43a brother chris craft who's you know heavy you know heavy dude and at that time when i did that
10:51record
10:51i was label mates with cl smooth mf doom um aloe black to some degree you know my man john
11:05robinson for
11:06science of life he's the one that kind of put that together and you know we had we had some
11:15wheels behind
11:16that project and it was the first time i got to feel some public relations happening behind that project
11:24and um there was just a lot of momentum going on when we dropped that record i was i currently
11:30when
11:30i had recorded that i recorded most of that in um the black entertainment television um studios in new
11:37york city where i was the audio engineer of at that time so you know to be sitting up and
11:44you know i'm
11:45talking about years of struggling brother sure you know i'm saying ecliptic like you know years of
11:51struggling and finally turning the corner now i'm in an office in new york city overlooking new york and
11:57listening to these gritty beats and getting on a nice microphone and my own studio and doing this while
12:06doing major television productions it was a it was it was a lot of energy it was a lot going
12:11on and
12:11that project um a lot of people gravitated to that project for sure for sure for sure okay because i
12:19because i also remember you were saying that um like your music is also influenced like all kind of
12:26different genres so like who would you say like um okay within the hip-hop space who would you see
12:32are the
12:33artists that influenced you and even outside of the hip-hop space yeah sure um well you know starting
12:40with the hip-hop stuff you know and i'm i'm kind of bad with favorites so i don't i can't
12:47say i have a
12:48favorite but it's pretty it's pretty obvious you know if you know anything about that hip-hop 90s era
12:55of course the the go-to's like the gang stars and the krs ones and the um the big daddy
13:01canes and the nazis
13:04and you know things of that nature um but even before that if i had to go a little earlier
13:10you know folks
13:11like just ice and um super lover scene casanova rudd stuff like that was um de la soul heavy d
13:22you know that that era is just you know sits deep in my heart i'll never let it go
13:29you know um outside of hip-hop though and you know hip-hop is borrowing from everything so i'm a
13:36very
13:37eclectic um listener of music i listen to everything and when i say everything i mean
13:43everything from country to death metal i'll listen to all of it um i can hear it i can see
13:50what's going
13:51on i can hear the energy behind it i can make sense out of it um so i'm a very
13:58very eclectic music
14:00listener i listen i listen to everything and given the chance i can probably produce just about anything
14:08for sure because i mean also i mean you've collaborated with so many great artists you know
14:15like every artist would love to work with do you think like there also there are also other artists
14:21that that you'd also love to collaborate with um that you look up to that you've mentioned um
14:27um yeah of course man um you know it well it you know if you if i had to if
14:34i had to use current
14:35examples of you know my uh my desire to collab i mean most of the stuff that i've done the
14:43last two
14:44years have been heavy collaboration work i um i don't i don't know when i have another solo release
14:51in sight i have uh you know singles that i've put out but most of my work has been collaboration
14:57work
14:57one that just released today with my brother mike my brother mike hoffa pay dues streaming
15:04shout out to mike hoffa he was in the chat a minute ago they're in and out of here we've
15:08we've been at it all day we've just been connecting and responding chatting showing love receiving love
15:17all day so even though um everyone may not be here i'm pretty sure they're gonna check this on the
15:23back end and this will be around for people to check out um but um you know i have a
15:29project with
15:29mike hoffa in the works blue collar rap that should be dropping in a matter of weeks i got a
15:36project with
15:36my brother true words called the statement it's just wicked wicked record um you know we just dropped
15:44uh my favorite song that's streaming on all platforms with true words his um his most saved song
15:52to date which is a big deal because he garners a very strong following and a lot of streams
16:00um i just did a record with one of my heroes and then we want to go back to
16:05heroes uh my man cy marshall law and um hakeem green from channel live you know sparking mad ism you
16:13know i mean this is dude this is a you know this is a dude that i've worked with to
16:18for some time but
16:19never worked with him musically and to be on a record with him now it just um it feels awesome
16:26um you
16:27know he's like uh the closest i've got to working with krs one cy marshall law of course has worked
16:34the krs and a lot of other people um you know i got to work with you know folks like
16:39tame one and
16:40you know milk bone what up milk bone you know so you know chris prolific you know working with people
16:47collaborating with people is really the nuts and bolts of what an artist is about so when it comes
16:54to working with someone i won't hesitate um i like i like having that other energy
17:04you know to help you because
17:08pardon me let's face it you know it's um life is very demanding today especially you know we hear
17:15about what's going on in johannesburg and all that stuff man you know it's you know the hustle is real
17:20you we we know what's going on you know the hustle's real in the states the hustle is is is
17:26threefold and
17:27you know i'm just getting off of work right now we tried to set up the time you said eight
17:32o'clock i said
17:33nine i got the robe on i'm not even shaved up you know what i mean blue collar wrap this
17:38is how we're
17:39doing it you know it's just it's real like that when you can collaborate with someone they take some
17:45of the load off you know they make it a little easier and then you're giving people variety at a
17:50time when um you know there's just so many so much individualism going on and that's the beauty before
17:58between our team now known as the goat squad you know we have taken this to another level by creating
18:04a collective that works together collaborates together and supports one another in a group fashion in order
18:11to give people not only variety but to give each other support in our own individual endeavors
18:18so you know it was a pretty long answer to your question but you could see that collaboration is a
18:24huge
18:25part is probably everything that i'm about even before k banger the solo artist and all that stuff you
18:32know i'm always i enjoy mixing and engineering other people's music you know even if i'm not on the
18:38song i'm still collaborating i engineer a lot of stuff for king virtue and goat squad a lot of his
18:44records a lot of the stuff that we've done uh mike hoffa you know all these guys man so soon
18:51soon you
18:52know um mixing all mastering their stuff and i enjoy the performances i enjoy stepping away from the mic and
19:00the writing to make other people sound good you know collaboration is i'm very very very passionate
19:07about collaborating for sure for sure so so i guess that's what inspired you to be doing all the promos
19:15and stuff like that absolutely um the promos um you mean as far as like the vo's and things like
19:22that
19:23the voiceovers yeah yeah yeah yeah you know that that kind of happened by accident but it's uh it is
19:31it is something that it is collaborate you know it's collaboration collaborative in nature because you have
19:39people that are writing scripts and they have a a a spot of what we call a spot like a
19:47psa a public
19:49service announcement that they want to bring to life a message they want to get across so you know i
19:55i i
19:55like to i i like to i like to i like to be a one-stop shop for people that
20:00need support as in addition to
20:04um creating um artistic um artistic expressions that people can enjoy um you know it's all it's all
20:13communication to me and that's why i can kind of move around all these things you know professionally
20:20during the day i um i i work in the event space and i and i work with uh in
20:27in mostly in the hotels but
20:29i've worked in other areas as well to create events and and live show stuff sound and video and things
20:38to make events come to life lighting and some of it is not always musical some of it is more
20:44corporate
20:44in nature but i take this talent that we i've developed within the hip-hop within other artists
20:51and other people and i take that and i apply it to the you know the to the um corporate
20:57space and help
20:57them get their message across whether it's live or recorded or both so you know yes the collaboration
21:07helps in all those endeavors you know but it started with hip-hop though hip-hop you know hip-hop
21:13is a great
21:16culture that develops your social ability to communicate and then you know intertwine that with
21:23technology and um professional presentation so if you ask me you know so yeah for sure plus i mean
21:35i saw you you did something with bet how is that like i mean for your career well do you
21:42know about
21:42bet do you have bt do you have bt out in um yeah yeah yeah we got beauty yeah yeah
21:48yeah well it's just
21:52that i forgot to check the the i forgot to watch the awards and stuff like that okay right right
21:58well i
22:01ironically i haven't owned the tv in years um yeah i don't i don't i don't watch it i don't
22:07want it but um
22:08i did work in it and and i gotta tell you brother um working in bet was life-changing
22:17um the amount the amount of talent i was exposed to people i probably would have never seen before
22:24um working there doing films doing all type of creative expression my old friend um cane usa
22:34was there at the time and he brought me on board and he um he was editing video at the
22:40time and i
22:41didn't really know what they were doing but i knew they had a need for video help and audio help
22:46and my uh
22:48my contribution was more audio than anything else but audio editing in that um industry is extremely
22:58extremely extremely important it's kind of elusive because a lot of people don't know where to go and
23:03apply for a job like that i never applied for that it was a friend that brought me in there
23:08i managed to get in there and it lasted for about five years but in that five years it was
23:14very
23:14exponential a lot happened um and the things that i did the things that i learned the things that i
23:22created at that time um even the executives and people that i worked with you know they knew that
23:29it was um that i was bringing something special to the network and you know i wish it would have
23:34went
23:35further you know it it didn't and you know again we've seen a lot happen in the usa that has
23:42changed
23:43things that have gone on here i went through that jay stone what i'm my brother um i went
23:49through that i went through those changes and it wasn't easy but um i i still have a lot of
23:58very
23:59good friends that i met from there i met my wife there um my ex-wife now um we have
24:06a son my son came
24:08out of that situation it was a very um it was a very special time you know those things that
24:15it was a
24:16it was something that i had worked for for a very long time and you know my grandmother used to
24:21say
24:22that she used to joke that you know you skip the step because with with the stuff that with the
24:29stuff
24:29i was doing it was um it was more like i was pursuing a record deal or something like that
24:36you know this was much bigger than that it was it was a lot more than that i was licensing
24:43music to
24:43the network i was um doing audio for them i was the voice of the network for some time you
24:50probably
24:50heard my voice over and over again on that network some time ago even though it was this was a
24:54long
24:54time it was like 10 15 years ago um but you know but you probably heard me on there or
25:01some music of
25:02mine or both over and over again you know and um i learned a lot and some of the people
25:08that i worked
25:09with ben i still currently work with to this day word word that's amazing yeah so yeah man um
25:18definitely so so i also saw like um uh consecutive you've been doing the whole warp tour are you still

31:59here
31:59and even on facebook we'll share it and stuff like that that's awesome yeah i'd really appreciate
32:06that i got a quick question for you yeah i would like to know um you know your and what
32:14you have to
32:15say about hip-hop and your part of africa and what it looks like to you and and um how
32:22artists over there
32:24move around and do their thing yeah man well there are some similarities i mean considering okay with
32:32with my country um when it started in cape town um it was mostly inspired by by the the the
32:43situation that
32:44happened when we were still in the apartheid state you know what i'm saying um the thing that was like
32:5181 82 so that's when that's when hip-hop music um begins in in south africa um so from those
33:03areas you
33:04have the political guys like the poc prophets of the city and many other artists you know um that that
33:13spoke about the conditions that were going on um from from time going on throughout the 90s it was all
33:23boom bad and stuff you know um so even but now you know it's it's not recognized it's now that
33:32commercial
33:32type of music and it's mostly you know that the trap music um dominating in in the mainstream
33:41era but you know that that that boom bap type of music is still alive within the underground and and
33:48um
33:50also the soul for hip-hop is also still alive you know of course um just just last last weekend
33:56um
33:57we head back to the city which is like one of the biggest um hip-hop events in africa so
34:05so yeah it's it's it's it's evolving to something that is very great so for me like i was just
34:13trying to
34:14there there were some challenges i feel like there are some challenges they like with um independent with
34:20independent artists um in my country getting um the recognition that they deserve and stuff like that
34:28so that was the the main purpose why i created um hip-hop nation tv um but this time when
34:37i was when i was
34:38doing interviews um i also got like um guys from your side and you know they were also sharing their
34:47experience with me so i thought oh okay so clearly um we have those uh similar challenges you know
34:56what i'm saying um you know uh not just music but even being excluded because of our of our color
35:04and
35:04things like that um so yeah i felt like not just doing not just making it a south african thing
35:11but
35:12just making it an international thing because hip-hop is like a global culture you know yes um yeah and
35:18i felt like you know it seems like whatever this um elite one percent elite that that that we're facing
35:27is just we're all facing it we're all we're all like it's all like this one person is all against
35:34us
35:34yeah right yes yes right my country or your country or whatever you know so i feel like if all
35:40of us are
35:41united globally then then then we have a stronger voice and um we might be able to make some changes
35:54this is this i'm telling you this is this right now is amazing um
36:01one other thing i wanted to know how did you find how did you find us
36:07yeah i was checking who who was it i don't know i don't know if i because the thing is
36:13i've i've
36:14done so many interviews like i've done rusty rusty jerks i've done ty phoenix i've done um
36:23who's the other international artist like there's so many international artists so like it's like the
36:29more those are those are big names those are big yeah yeah yes yeah yeah so like it's like the
36:35it's
36:35like the more i keep interviewing these international artists then my my instagram account just keeps
36:42showing so many of of the of the underground mcs and stuff like that so yeah so i think i
36:48i think
36:49i remember seeing yours and then somewhere along the line and i just clicked into it i was like oh
36:55keith
36:56yeah i was so excited man that's awesome it's incredible incredible i mean more than anything
37:03else the more than the commercial pursuits and things like that making these connections is what hip
37:10pop is about um yeah you know i you know i don't don't really know where things can go i'm
37:18not an
37:19opportunistic guy you know so i'm not looking for money and everything i'm doing but you're trying to
37:26we're trying to make sense out of this thing you know like you you said it you said something very
37:29key you know we're facing um a struggle and people are people are suffering yeah somewhere within this
37:40expression um you have a response to that you have this experience you have this expression being birthed
37:50out of that you know starting in the south bronx and what was going on there and then what you
37:55had said
37:55to you know is that this connection between apartheid and the rise of hip-hop you know kind of speaking
38:02to these um situations so it's only natural that in making these connections we can address some of
38:10these things and i i i'm very i feel it's an honor to speak to you and to have you
38:19reach out to me in this
38:20way to spread this um to spread what we're doing to your people out there and whoever you're connected
38:27to internationally it means a lot and i hope that um even if we don't end up doing some kind
38:34of
38:35business deal or anything like that what i would hope is is that the expression just inspires people
38:41to kind of find out more and listen to people's stories and and that the music moves you and inspires
38:48you and keeps you going in your everyday life yeah because like you know um some of like the artists
38:54they tell me like you know behind my back like they they saw some artists that i that i interviewed
39:01with
39:01and they and they were able to do music together so for me like yo that was that was amazing
39:07for me
39:07because that's that's just that's just what i wanted yes sir you know indeed yeah yeah you know because
39:13because like even because growing up you know i remember seeing i don't know if it was they were
39:20saying like one of them uh the american presidents were saying that you know they don't they don't
39:26they have this mission that they don't want um black people in africa and black people out of africa to
39:34to to unite because if they do unite then you know it's something you know so and and and i
39:42could witness that
39:43because you know um uh one of one of our greatest uh singers um mama miriam makeba um when she
39:55when
39:55she when she when she met stokely car michael uh was it guamitore i mean in the harry belafonte and
40:04stuff
40:04like that she was she was able to to voice out the conditions that happen in in our country and
40:10things like
40:10that so it made me understand things like that you know what i'm saying because even like a couple of
40:16months ago when i saw was it malcolm mack's daughter on the flat tv show stuff like that yes she
40:23was
40:23saying yeah she was saying she was saying her father you know malcolm you know she was he was already
40:29connecting with other african states and things like that a week before him being assassinated so
40:36that was very interesting to me so that that's when i saw like oh okay so this enemy that we're
40:43fighting is it's one so yeah that's what's up but keith man i'm i'm grateful for for yeah for real
40:53that definitely appreciate king virtue what up my brother that gold squad up in here yeah king
