00:00All right, one on five, one on Bounce Detroit.
00:01Stove back for Hip Hop and R&B.
00:03It's your boy Showtime, Dazar.
00:04Got a special guest in the studio with me today, man.
00:08Artist, content creator, host, okay?
00:11He probably got a bunch of other things
00:12that I don't know about, but multi-times an individual.
00:14I got my guy Polo Frost in the building.
00:15What up, man?
00:16What up, bro?
00:17Appreciate that.
00:17Appreciate you.
00:18Thank you for coming to the show, man.
00:19How are you?
00:20Man, I'm great, bro.
00:21How you doing?
00:22Black, blessed, and fly, man.
00:23So first off, bro, let's talk about your music for a second, man.
00:27How did you get into rapping?
00:28What made you want to start being an artist?
00:29All that good stuff.
00:30Man, you know what's crazy, bro?
00:31I had, you know, I don't really go into deep detail,
00:34but I had caught, like, this case.
00:36Got you.
00:36And I caught a case, and when I,
00:37I did, like, a tiny bit of jail time, nothing real,
00:40but, like, I was like, damn, I ain't gonna get no good-ass job.
00:42But, you know, I'll figure something out.
00:45I always figure something out.
00:46So, man, I made a song, and I'll put it out.
00:48You know, I'm from Ypsilanti.
00:50Right.
00:50So I put a song out, and everybody was like,
00:53oh, that's kind of hard.
00:54So I did another song, and I shot a video.
00:57And the video did, like, 5,000 views in a week.
00:59Being from Ypsilanti, that's good, bro, 5,000 in a week.
01:03And from there, bro, I just made music my life.
01:06Nice.
01:07Now you speak of being from Ypsilanti.
01:09What's the misconception being from Ypsilanti?
01:11Because the moment you say that, people are like,
01:13this guy is not serious.
01:14You know what's crazy, bro, I used to be like,
01:17dang, man, Detroit really feel like Ypsilanti just, like,
01:20in Hong Kong or something, right?
01:22But I think the biggest misconception is literally, like,
01:27they just think we so far away.
01:29Like, we 30 minutes up the road.
01:32Some of the stuff they say be true, though.
01:35Like, I always, even before I was a rapper,
01:40I always just used to come east all the time.
01:42Party, I had cousins in the city.
01:44So I was always out this way anyway.
01:46So I had a lot of Detroit friends and stuff.
01:51So a lot of the stuff they be saying is true.
01:54Not to, you know, talk down on my city.
01:57But, you know, when you look at it.
01:59Yeah, yeah.
02:00He's being honest.
02:01Yeah, you know what I'm saying?
02:02But, no, I think, you know, everybody,
02:05it is some corny people.
02:06It is some people be late to the party for a lot of stuff.
02:10You know what I'm saying?
02:10That's going to be with any small city in any, you know what I'm saying,
02:14any place.
02:14But the biggest misconception is they just feel like it's all the way
02:18across the world.
02:19It's like, bro, we 30 minutes up the street.
02:20We doing the same stuff y'all doing, bro.
02:22Do you feel like you get to respect as an artist being from Ipsy?
02:27Absolutely not.
02:28People respect, you know, I went viral and stuff like that.
02:31You know what I'm saying?
02:31Like, people respect the numbers I put up.
02:33But, like, as far as, like, just working with people and stuff like that,
02:38like, that was one thing I liked about Atlanta.
02:40Like, you go to Atlanta.
02:41Like, I went and sat at Honorable Sino's house.
02:44He's one of the biggest producers, you know, in the game.
02:46And he didn't charge me no money.
02:47I went and sat down and we cooked up.
02:49You know, he's really from Benton Harbor.
02:51Right.
02:51Oh, damn.
02:52I didn't know that.
02:53Yeah, Honorable Sino from Benton Harbor for real.
02:56But, yeah, I went and sat down.
02:58Like, people in Atlanta are going to work.
02:59If you got something going on, they're going to work.
03:01Out here, it's just, like, you either in the circle or you're not.
03:04Got you.
03:05You either grew up with these people or you got to have some type of connection to somebody.
03:08So, I feel like I never really got the proper respect of an artist because I'm from Ypsilanti.
03:15And just, like, I don't have no real relationship with these people.
03:18How do you feel about that?
03:19Does that make you work hard or does that make you feel like, okay.
03:21I don't even care, bro.
03:22You don't care?
03:22Because another thing with me is if you listen to my music, I don't really make Detroit-style stuff anyway.
03:27Got you.
03:28Right, right.
03:28So, it don't make me no difference.
03:29Would it be nice to collab?
03:30Yeah, absolutely.
03:31Would it be nice?
03:32And I noticed, bro, I, like, set the trend for a lot of stuff.
03:35Like, when I went viral, everybody wanted to do challenges to they sung after that and do dance challenges and
03:41wanted to go viral on TikTok.
03:43Now, everybody wanted to get in the TikTok algorithm.
03:46You get what I'm saying?
03:46So, I set a trend for a lot of stuff when it come to the music thing that people followed
03:50behind and did.
03:51You know what I'm saying?
03:52Got you.
03:53How long exactly would you say you've been doing music, bro?
03:56I was probably, seriously, since 2014, 2015.
04:04Okay, that's long enough.
04:0511, 12 years.
04:06The reason I ask is because I feel like from 2014 to now, it's definitely changed of how you put
04:11out music.
04:12Oh, yeah.
04:13Well, I made my first ever song in 2013, but that was just like, as far as just like, all
04:19right, I'm about to make music, 2014 for sure.
04:22What are your thoughts on the music game right now, man, that changes how you put out music, how people
04:27perceive music, all that good stuff?
04:29Man, you know what's crazy, bro?
04:30I get in my car and I listen to all old stuff, bro.
04:33Like, I can't really get with a lot of the stuff that's coming out.
04:36That's funny you say that because you shouted us out one time, man.
04:39You're like, oh, 105, 100 Bounce, the only ones that play all the stuff.
04:43Oh, you caught that?
04:43Yeah, yeah.
04:45I did.
04:45I appreciate you.
04:46Shout out.
04:47No, for real, bro.
04:47Like, if I'm turning on the radio, I'm coming on 105.1 to Bounce before.
04:52Then not only are y'all playing like older music that was great music, it's not the same songs over
04:58and over and over again.
04:59I drive trucks, too.
05:00I work a regular job.
05:03So I can only listen to so much Apple music.
05:05I can only listen to so many podcasts.
05:06Sometimes I just turn the radio on.
05:08Man, I'll be like, dang, I forgot all about this, son.
05:11I'm in a truck.
05:11Feel good, y'all.
05:12I'm in a truck.
05:13Man, I had to drive to Benton Harbor and Grand Rapids yesterday to do deliveries, man.
05:18My ride back out towards my way from Grand Rapids was two hours and 40 minutes.
05:23Man, I cut 105, 1 to Bounce on and roll.
05:25We appreciate the love, man.
05:28Now, you have a, you play, did you play sports?
05:31I did, yeah.
05:32Okay, you play football and basketball?
05:33Basketball, football.
05:34Nice.
05:35But, you know, I started to get a little ineligible, you know.
05:38No, that's all good.
05:38Make a couple bad decisions in life, you know.
05:41The reason I ask is because you are.
05:43You are always watching our sports team when it comes to, like, the Lions, Pistons, etc.
05:46And just recently, Angel Reese, she blocked you during the NBA playoffs.
05:52Man.
05:52Did you, what happened with that, man?
05:54You know what?
05:55And then once I made my post, man, because that post went up, actually, but I realized she blocked a
06:00lot of people.
06:00She blocked a lot of people.
06:01I'm like, ain't no way she just going down and blocking people who said something, bro.
06:05You're like, you don't have time for that.
06:06And she did, though.
06:07She blocked a lot.
06:08I think it was G-Mac Cash was another one.
06:10I'm like, ain't no way she this mad, bro.
06:12I'm like, bro, no way you got that much time on your hands.
06:15But, yeah, she blocked me, man.
06:17I just.
06:18Is that the first celebrity ever block you?
06:23Real celebrity, yeah.
06:25Like.
06:25Got you.
06:26Maybe B-list, C-list celebrities.
06:27Oh, I'm blocked by a couple of them.
06:28You know me, man.
06:29You see my page.
06:30I speak my mind.
06:31I'm going to tell the truth.
06:32Facts.
06:33When it comes to content create, man, you put out a lot of videos, posts, and everything.
06:38And, you know, like you said, you speak of your mind.
06:40Does that ever.
06:41Do you ever have somebody respond to you and be like, hey, man, that ain't all the way factual ever.
06:45Oh, all the time, bro.
06:47And I'm not no person that just.
06:49If I'm wrong, I'm wrong.
06:50Right.
06:51And I'll admit I'm wrong.
06:52But I get a lot of people like that just be talking out there.
06:58Yeah.
06:59You know what I'm saying?
06:59Like.
07:00And I get that all the time.
07:02I mean, right now I'm banned from New York.
07:04I'm not allowed to come to New York.
07:06So.
07:07Because of the Knicks.
07:08Because of the Knicks, bro.
07:09Because I don't like the Knicks fans.
07:12I don't either.
07:14I don't like their fans.
07:14They wild, bro.
07:15And then I made a video that went viral when they was like beating people up out there that on
07:19Spurs.
07:19Crazy work.
07:20Ain't that how you beat somebody up?
07:21And from there, just like a whole beef started with me and people in New York.
07:23People in New York like, don't bring your B.A. to New York City.
07:27That's how New York did now.
07:28Wow.
07:29That's crazy.
07:29All right, bro.
07:30Nobody wants to come to your rat-infested city anyways.
07:33You people are dirty.
07:36That's crazy, man.
07:38So, again, I want to go back to your sports background, bro.
07:41You watching the Lions as well, man.
07:43Yeah.
07:43Give me your thoughts on what you think they're going to do.
07:45It's a whole new season, man.
07:48See, man, I'm biased because I always think the Lions are gone.
07:50Even when we sucked, I was like, this is our year.
07:52I'm very biased.
07:53I'm damn near a Knicks fan when it comes to the Lions.
07:56You know what I'm saying?
07:57That's respectable.
08:00Realistically, we're back in the playoffs this year.
08:02I'll give us that.
08:05I feel like we're still missing something.
08:07Got you.
08:08I don't know what it is.
08:09I cannot pinpoint it, but we're still missing something.
08:12I feel like it's in cornerbacks.
08:17You know what I'm saying?
08:17We get Kirby Joseph back.
08:19Yeah, yeah.
08:19Cool.
08:19We cool.
08:20But, like, we need something in this defense.
08:26Our offense is great.
08:27We score points.
08:28Yeah, yeah.
08:29You know what I'm saying?
08:29So, I think in the defensive back room, we need something else.
08:33Just some type of X Factor.
08:36One game changer back there, and we'll be all right.
08:38Got you.
08:39You had a song with BFD the Pac-Man, man.
08:42Yeah, yeah, yeah.
08:43That's my voice.
08:43How'd that link come about, man?
08:44Man, you know what?
08:45I had been following them, bro, and I caught them early, though,
08:49like, because I follow Safe Cheese, and I'm like,
08:51man, who is this fat dude they posting?
08:53He can rap.
08:54Yeah, yeah.
08:54And he was silly, right?
08:56And then come to find out he was from Flint.
08:59Right.
08:59I didn't know that at first, but I found that out.
09:01No, I'm just following them, bro.
09:02I'll show them love like he's posting.
09:03One day, I just DM'd them, bro.
09:05I'm like, I got this record, bro.
09:06I think you would be hard on.
09:08And what's crazy is I was going to put G-Mac on the record first,
09:12but something happened with G-Mac where it couldn't happen,
09:14or something, or, oh, this is what it was.
09:17G-Mac told me, yeah.
09:18The day after G-Mac told me, yeah, he was on Jimmy Fallon.
09:22I said, yeah, that's a wrap.
09:23That nigga ain't doing that feature.
09:24Shout out to G-Mac.
09:25That's my boy.
09:25Shout out to G-Mac.
09:26But I'm like, he ain't doing that feature.
09:29But so I hit Pac-Man up.
09:32I'm like, man, I got this record.
09:33I think you would be hard on.
09:34I sent it to him.
09:35He's like, bro, this record hard.
09:38I respect people, bro.
09:39I threw him a couple dollars with the Axe, bro.
09:41He did the verse, sent it right back.
09:44I flew him out to Michigan, and we shot the video.
09:49And, man, it was magic, but it got snatched down.
09:52Really?
09:53Man, when they caught the most momentum,
09:54they took it down because I ain't clear the sample.
09:56Ah.
09:57Yeah, man, that song was, man, Celebrity started doing it.
10:01Kalaniyat did it.
10:02Man, I would refresh TikTok every 10 minutes.
10:04It would be another 1,000 videos.
10:06You can't get it back at all?
10:08No, it's back up.
10:09Right, I saw it.
10:10Like, it was too late after that.
10:12Yeah, the momentum gone.
10:13The momentum was gone.
10:14But it still did good numbers.
10:16It still, you know, I still, you know,
10:18got booked off the song and did shows and all that stuff.
10:21So, yeah.
10:22Is there an artist that you want to work with,
10:24whether in the city or outside the city,
10:26that you like, I want to collab with this person?
10:29I mean...
10:30Or whoever want to work with you.
10:32I mean, I'm going to be real.
10:33Future, my favorite artist.
10:35Of course, you know, we're going to go.
10:37I like Jeremiah a lot.
10:39I feel like me and Jeremiah make a fire record.
10:42As far as somebody here,
10:47I don't know, bro.
10:50I mean, I listen to people.
10:51You got a unique style.
10:52So, it's like, you got to make sure.
10:53Yeah, and it's like, I don't know what would fit.
10:54Right.
10:55You feel me?
10:55Like, I could do what they do,
10:56but that just ain't what I do.
10:58You know what I'm saying?
10:59Like, you know, I write for people, too.
11:01So, like, I kind of, like, do real artistry
11:04when it comes to music.
11:04I ain't just rapping about, you know,
11:07getting money, getting in the streets,
11:08and da-da-da-da-da.
11:09Like, I do that for myself,
11:10but, like, I really write songs for people.
11:13You know what I'm saying?
11:14So, I don't know, bro.
11:16I would have to think on that, bro.
11:18I've really just been focused on myself right now.
11:20Okay.
11:20And I've worked with a lot of people
11:22that I like working with.
11:24If I was throwing a name out there,
11:25though, I'd probably listen to Babyface Ray
11:27the most out of Detroit rappers.
11:29You know what I'm saying?
11:30Like, shout out to Ray.
11:31You spoke about artistry, man, writing music.
11:33I think people don't understand the art of writing,
11:36and I feel like you have a good concept of that, man.
11:39Yeah, like, when music,
11:41people get so wrapped up in,
11:43he ain't rapping what he's living, da-da-da-da-da.
11:45And it's like, music was always art.
11:48You paint a picture with music.
11:50You get what I'm saying?
11:52Do you think these rappers talking about killing people
11:54really been killing people?
11:55I mean, some may have.
11:57Yeah, yeah, the YNs, they might have.
11:59You get what I'm saying?
11:59But let's be real.
12:01They would be in prison.
12:02Yeah, right.
12:03Or, and the artists who do rap about what they really did.
12:08They're telling themselves.
12:09You get what I'm saying?
12:10So it's like, I don't rap about that type of stuff anyways.
12:13I'm more of the fun rapper.
12:15Let's go party, have fun, mess with the girls.
12:17And I feel like that's missing in music, man.
12:20It's too serious now.
12:21Too much drill music, bro.
12:23Big music fun again.
12:24Yeah, bro.
12:24I'm tired of all the killing.
12:26Like, that's why I appreciate what you do, man.
12:28It ain't too serious.
12:29Appreciate that, bro.
12:29At the end of the day, man, music is an entertainment.
12:32And I'm not mad at what they do, you know,
12:34but we got to get back to that having fun.
12:36Music is no different than movies.
12:37Facts.
12:37You know what I'm saying?
12:38I like that analogy.
12:39It's not.
12:40You're painting a picture.
12:41The same thing with movies.
12:42Like, these actors, people get wrapped up.
12:45You see Tariq on Power, and you see him in person.
12:47Be like, man, you killed your daddy.
12:49Are you serious?
12:51You know what I'm saying?
12:52Like, it's crazy.
12:53So, yeah, man.
12:54People got to realize music is painting a picture, man.
12:57You giving people something to visualize.
13:00You know what I'm saying?
13:01And some people can relate to it.
13:03They going to feel a little more.
13:04And some people just like the sound.
13:06You get what I'm saying?
13:07All right, so any upcoming projects that we should know about, man?
13:11I'm pretty sure you've been working hard in the studio,
13:13staying in the studio.
13:13Absolutely, bro.

13:25I got an album dropping.
13:26You cleared all your samples, bro.
13:27We can't be having you.
13:28You get your stuff taken down, man.
13:30I cleared them as much as I'm going to clear them.
13:32The ones I got.
13:33Yeah, I tried to stay away from samples a little bit,
13:35but it's hard, man.
13:36Yeah.
13:37Because sometimes you hear an older song,
13:38you be like, man, I would.
13:40You know what I'm saying?
13:41Yeah, yeah, yeah.
13:42So then you make a good song to it.
13:44You be like, man, you know what?
13:46Let me see what I got to do,
