Speaker 2:So pleasure to be, here, I like 55.
Speaker 4:Man, it's a good number. Yeah, I like that. Keep us at 55 55.
Speaker 1:You're the man, you're them 55 55.
Speaker 2:It is before we start, bro. I got a question. I think a lot of people be asked me this too Are you really brothers?
Speaker 4:You can't tell.
Speaker 2:Hey, this is different kind of world out here. Bro, I'm plet, I'll be looking at dudes like that.
Speaker 4:You right. Yeah, we really brothers. Same father, same mother got the same fees.
Speaker 2:That's what's up. That's what's up, not because it's. It's very rare that you you have, you know, family members who are into the same thing, you know I'm saying and actually stick it out and have projects with each other. You feel me? So it's dope enough. Y'all close in age for sure, right I'm?
Speaker 4:guessing couple years. I'm 26, each 22.
Speaker 2:Oh yeah, oh yeah. Yeah, I could drink together so I Said that's what's up, so let's get into it. So what? Who? Let me say that, who started it? Who started the music shit first?
Speaker 5:me it only makes sense he 26. I was still a boy.
Speaker 2:I mean shit you could have.
Speaker 4:you know, I'm saying I mean, I started getting this music at eight, so it was like I was.
Speaker 2:So what inspired you both to just create which I create now?
Speaker 4:For me definitely on just being around my house and hearing a lot of different sounds and music coming from my parents from a lot of A lot of R&B and hip hop as well. Just different stuff. My parents are like they play like mad different things, so just always intrigued me.
Speaker 5:Yeah, I would say truthfully, music is really in our blood, like it's always raised on. That's why we listen to a lot of R&B. Now it's crazy is I make most of my music from R&B. I only listen to hip-hop like that. I don't like aggressive music. I like singing and shit, even though I'm not that well at it. It's just mad Calm and it's like I got there beautiful. I got space to think instead of having to fucking be rapping about shit that I don't really care about, no more.
Speaker 2:That's growth. I like that. So, speaking of R&B, who would you say you really go to like to get that inspiration?
Speaker 5:What would you talk about? That's a lot. I'm saying, like since I was a little boy, silk always my favorite group, even though everybody say Jodecy is number one superior. It's like I don't feel that way cuz I grew up really Listenin a silk. It's like me in my barrel since I was a little kid. I always send that with my heart.
Speaker 1:All right.
Speaker 5:That's probably why I treat the females hard. Treat them. It's like that's just smooth, so it's already yummy.
Speaker 2:Gosh.
Speaker 4:Why you say, joseph's, you're the best.
Speaker 2:Monsters.
Speaker 4:I love them.
Speaker 2:All right, so uh, two-part quick, I guess a yuck at you. Answer whoever first. What's your creative process when it comes to, like, making music? Is it like you got to hear to beat first and then the lyrics come, or you already got lyrics already coming to your head and you just gotta find a beat, or something like that?
Speaker 5:That's both for me. Cuz I ain't a lot, I don't have to be my mind do not allow me to wrap on the beat. So I don't even know how I be on beat because I don't write my lyrics to it, I just make it fit the beat. Gotcha, I can hear a beam like cool. I can write a song fighting here to be for real, but it's like I now I the beat stuck in my head. I can't be too much noise for me. I rather have it quiet. So I got a space to put the song together because I'm gonna just yell at myself instead of the Be being behind it.
Speaker 4:Um, for me, I like to. I don't know, I don't like wasting my time in the studio per se, so I like having everything already finished and ready to go. So I'm just stop recording and have just, and I and I move, like I Put everything inside their own sections, like me writing and creating, that's something else, me recording, that's something else, like I separate the two really. Then, once I get in there, I just get the job done.
Speaker 3:So what's the hardest part of writing for like both of you guys, like I know you mentioned, like you rather just Write instead of hearing, like the beat. So, like you think that's like easier or like harder.
Speaker 5:I ain't gonna lie for me, the only thing I thought about making music is making a song with a singer. Anything else will wrap in his natural. It's like I like that. I'm very charismatic, so it's easy to put the words together to make it make sense. Making the song with a singer is not as easy because, like they got way more talented so they really blowing. It's like I can only do so much, so it's like now I gotta make sure I'm matching what they doing and got a good cadence with it, instead of it be like I'm just rapping on the fucking thing and be inside crazy. I gotta make sure I'm giving with the song, gotta give.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I see.
Speaker 4:And finding a good beat is actually the hardest part for me, because me putting the song together is not hard at all and I'm good. I'm good in a lot of ways, respectfully. So it was like I can come up with a lot of different things, but it's hard for me to find that good beat, since I'm so selective and very picky when it comes to that. So it was like I'm having thousands of beats but never use none of them.
Speaker 2:I just got to find that one Nahiri, and I felt that Is there like a specific genre, genre you're like focused on right now. Maybe is that like probably sometimes a problem.
Speaker 4:Or my mind goes all over the place, so I'll be jumping around from different things. I can go from rapping hard chords or R&B, the just different stuff, even like dance hall or anything. It's hard to stay. I'm very picky, so it's hard. I just got to feel it basically.
Speaker 2:Like being a moment type shit. Okay.
Speaker 1:I will say too like I sound like something like Detroit rappers talking about getting money and shit. I like it.
Speaker 5:I got a lot of these last few months. I fell in love with Detroit Beats because I was a bit mad peasy, so it's like I don't know if something about Detroit Beats just give you a different feeling, because they make everybody, they make being broke like it doesn't exist. They look at it make music like how the fuck are you still broke and I wanted the same shit. This point. It's like now, if I'm listening to this person all day, all I'm gonna do is be inspired to get money.
Speaker 1:Yo for real, because Detroit nigga you want to get money like quick, Like I'm gonna money on me. Yeah, cause.
Speaker 2:I'm not real quick. All done man. What does this sound like? Quick I'm a fact.
Speaker 4:I fuck with Detroit, but I'm on like Memphis style for sure, like he Glock and Young Dolphin and really PRA.
Speaker 1:I fuck with them heavy.
Speaker 4:They make them what they really should get money to us. That's all I listen to basically as far as rap goals for real.
Speaker 2:I want to say to stand out tracks from both of you, that's like different. You know, I like to go back. You know what I'm saying when you get tracks Dada, I think it's called. Oh yeah, dada.
Speaker 5:I fucks with that one. Yeah, all cut the angle off. It was crazy as he made the hook and shit. I'm like yo. He left the studio. After that I came, man, I'm like yo, this shit is crazy. He said I called him. He's like, if you want to finish it, finish it. Or I said, babe, let me get in there, cause I was in my films. Anyway, I'm like with my girlfriend, really, let me, if I had no money, like this shit was just there for me. I'm like I'm the latest bitch down.
Speaker 2:But yeah, that's what I guess that's where I related to most is like damn, like, is somebody going to really be there for you when you like down and out? You know what I'm saying. Like when you ain't got shit, you feel me, you know, and I kind of related to it as well. As far as, like, I've been in that situation, you know what I'm saying. Like when I moved back up here in like 2016,. Like I had like $1,000 and that $1,000, you can spend that shit in like two hours, one hour.
Speaker 2:You know what I'm saying and the girl I was fucking with at the time it was like you know, she had both of her parents. You know what I'm saying? Like I only thing I had was like I was able to live with my cousin, type shit. I still had to pay rent or type shit. She ain't had to pay nothing. Her dad like on a car dealership and all types of shit.
Speaker 5:So she fucked up, it's okay, but if you fuck that, it's like oh damn, nigga why you always broke and shit.
Speaker 2:I'm like yeah, I just moved back up here.
Speaker 4:You gave her a chance to get your shit together.
Speaker 2:She knew that, but she won't try to hit that shit. You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 4:You got to think about it. She was logical.
Speaker 5:When a person that's in tight, when a person that comes from everything and a person that's built into something. It's two different things.
Speaker 2:That's a fact.
Speaker 5:She not going to be with you. She got everything. That's like giving them all fuck with a million dollars, telling them that you can make them some money.
Speaker 2:Exactly, they don't want to hear that shit. They're really fucking rich. But the only thing that fucked it up was, like I'm a logical ass nigga, so I was telling her like yo, I ain't got it right now, so we can stop this shit. If we come back to each other, we come back to each other. At this point in time I'm really focused about myself. Type shit. She won't try to hear that shit. You feel me?
Speaker 3:I don't want you to have money and be with her, but because you didn't like.
Speaker 2:Yeah, like she ain't, she ain't want to like break up, type shit.
Speaker 5:So she wanted her cake and eat it too, basically.
Speaker 2:Exactly. You know what I'm saying. I'm like look, I can only give you a good dick at this point. Cherry nose, you know what I'm saying? My bottom, you feel me? But that's where I related to your track. But one of your tracks, song Cry.
Speaker 4:Oh Song Cry. Some of my boy's in Capers too.
Speaker 2:Hey, that shit, I feel like on that track I heard like I've been on you for a minute pause.
Speaker 1:You know, what.
Speaker 3:I'm saying You're not like me.
Speaker 2:You feel me. But I feel like Song Cry was where I heard like you be like lyrical, lyrical, like I feel like you came out of your bag. On that one, you feel me. That whole project actually, I feel like you really tapped into something that's been dwelling inside you for a minute.
Speaker 2:Yeah, for sure you know what I'm saying and I fuck with your party shit too. Like I'm being in the house like jamming and shit. You feel me. I feel like that project, poster Number 9 project, was one of those ones for you. You know what.
Speaker 5:I'm saying, if that was the project where you saw it, I thought it was a different version of it.
Speaker 4:Yeah, exactly, that was Because I ain't dropped nothing last year at all. That's my first project coming back out. We dropped out in January Me and I'm Tim Capers. That's a collab project.
Speaker 3:Gee.
Speaker 4:Yeah, so I should have to hit. I had no choice.
Speaker 3:Yeah, that shit was hard. Did something happen to you like your stop?
Speaker 4:last year Nothing. Well, I was going through some shit, but I had to take a step back so I could get a bigger push forward, and it was the right thing to do, so it worked out for itself for real.
Speaker 3:I say that all the time. I've been using that analogy a lot like with a bow and arrow Sometimes you gotta step back in order to go forward. So the fact that you said that just solidifies everything I've been saying in the past couple of episodes. You really sometimes you gotta take that step back in order to move forward.
Speaker 4:Well sure, definitely you gotta recreate yourself, sometimes Rebrand.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I'm gonna say you gotta rebrand so it can be better.
Speaker 5:You Facts, that's what life in general, though, relationships overall, anything Just like sometimes a little distance can make you either come together more or just gonna show what's going on. You shouldn't be, together. Yeah, facts.
Speaker 3:I'll take that, that's right.
Speaker 2:Damn that shit got deep real quick.
Speaker 1:Alright, so what song from both your already our favorite like it? I don't think my touch I made pretty much like a song me answering.

Speaker 3:Was I heard the beat.
Speaker 4:I was like no way.
Speaker 2:Shit.

I have no problem in prison down the song. So like I've been working on that now, like I got so on jib on myself. But he definitely was a great fit, cuz he just matched my energy with the toxic shit.

My mother bill only two minutes her life and she could be lying to me. But from what I see, everybody that got a piece got two babies by maybe more. For my father got three.

I'm gonna make sure I go out with a bang, like I got a plan from my baby shower weekend. Just go on tour from clubs, this ship clubs. I'll make everybody regret hanging with me, yeah.
Speaker 4:It's my birthday, so that's what I'm going to. I'm being the worst time. I'm sorry, I'm single too. I'm being the worst time, boy, I.
Speaker 5:Okay, she got help. Drag me in would be all right.
Speaker 2:There you go. If there was One, one or two artists that you are looking to collab it, who would it be?
Speaker 5:Truthfully me, I really like young boy, a little baby me, keyglock and Drake.
Speaker 4:Yeah, you get a Drake feature.
Speaker 2:You got my nose.
Speaker 5:And I want to put both on the same track. Apply them, you get a Drake feature tracks. I.
Speaker 4:Like he got cuz the independent and Drake is just like the biggest. So Together with me was that's gonna be different.
Speaker 5:I would like me song with Drake too, but it's like I feel like once you get a Drake feature, you no longer can build your own legacy.
Speaker 1:Yeah cuz thanks oh.
Speaker 5:But like a little dirt. Really have any platinum song to me that feature with the fucking Drake? Come on bluff.
Speaker 1:I'm pretty no, cuz I so dirt, so dirt has like a little run in the streets like little, like Little, like mixtape run and then we got a drink song with a laugh now, carlita, that that took Drake. I'm not Drake, that took dirt until like superstar.
Speaker 5:Yes, he's no longer a street nigga, he's a superstar. He's still a street nigga, but he's like a street nigga, but it's like now he can go into the doors that he couldn't walk in.
Speaker 4:Yeah.
Speaker 5:I will take a drink feature. No problem, let's second guess a house offered it. But for right now I mean same thing. With little baby, young boy feature, I fight.
Speaker 2:They give you a little more chance to do what you gotta do but that's what I was about to say, cuz when we got that first little baby Drake Little baby, drink a little baby he went crazy.
Speaker 5:That first little baby legacy with that cuz little baby took the fuck.
Speaker 2:Oh that's what I'm saying, that's what I, that's what I was going to guess you with, like that whole one. I feel like once little baby got on that I it was like a throwaway vert, like a throwaway song with Drake. What is indeed?
Speaker 1:Yeah, yeah, okay, that was I. So that song put little baby on my radar. Really, I'll just say yeah, cuz before that I probably heard like his previous mixtape they did, but then, once that Drake collab happened, all right, let me check out this nigga.
Speaker 5:No, I feel about that. I find you kind of put him on a lot of people radar like. I don't know, I can't oh yeah for sure, I can't speak about me made my dog with the remix cuz I was into little baby in a hood like 2017 2018 facts, facts.
Speaker 1:That sounds like I did hug oh.
Speaker 2:That's a fact.
Speaker 5:I got something wrong about the Drake shit.
Speaker 4:Like first again, the Drake features is randomly anyway, so you gotta have your shit built up.
Speaker 5:I mean Drake Cosons is major like his name. Who we? Yeah, I spice up the trenches with the woods like Soon I spice took over chase a whole image.
Speaker 1:She got that Drake cool song you sent me, so it's like it can go good and bad, like it's because, like that nigga from from Memphis office name look alive, block, block. After that it was done.
Speaker 2:Oh wait, but he's part of.
Speaker 4:Oh.
Speaker 1:Yeah, but after that song, yeah, I think, I think, I think, I think, like he put out like a my opinion he's not all that as an artist.
Speaker 5:That shit fire like he got the music for the update shit, but it's like after you won't be up no more. What else do you got for you?
Speaker 2:That's right. But that goes into this conversation that a lot of artists, you know, I'm saying they'll have, like the connections They'll get in, get the bag in the light dip.
Speaker 5:Oh it's crazy. You say that cost us. I said that about the whole industry right now, like I feel like the best album that has come out. Yeah, I might say gunners I ain't listen to gunner shit, whatever that is who probably got the best out more right now? And he's dead, king Vaughan, you know.
Speaker 2:I Did drop a posse.
Speaker 5:Because he has shit to prove. Still, why be don't? I should approve Gunner, even though he, whatever he ain't talking, the niggas ain't got shit to prove it. Drop music at this point. This nigga boss that was fighting for a spot that alive. I was a bus, but I cannot sleep on this low Papa album with OD. Oh no, papa. Well, I'm CMG, I saw it. The God he ain't ever heard a little Papa.
Speaker 5:I heard his name, but never really this album was amazing, bro His album because he still got something to prove. Give it a chance, dude. Give it a chance.
Speaker 2:I'm gonna look out for them. Yeah, for sure. But yeah, I feel like that's what some of these artists do nowadays. They just want to go for the hit and once they get the hit, they dip out. You know what I'm saying. Then, when money running low, they come back, try to drop another one but sometimes it'll go, sometimes it won't you feel me.
Speaker 5:But you know what I feel like? So fun it's like when I finally get my spotlight. I got so much music from my catalog. That's when you finally catch up and see my growth from where I started to where I am now, from SoundCloud to all platforms. It's gonna be like damn. This thing got Platinum's just for the song. We even found out with it here.
Speaker 2:And that's another thing, bro. As an artist, it's great to have that you feel me, because a lot of artists don't have a catalog.
Speaker 4:That's the longevity.
Speaker 2:Facts and a lot of these artists have that one song and so everybody else is like all right, what's the next shit?
Speaker 5:And the artist is like I believe you got to have projects bro the only person I think get away with that shit is Bryson Tiller. What's?
Speaker 4:all that drink. What you mean, bro? What Bryson Tiller?
Speaker 5:Wait, wait, wait. I ain't saying Bryson, don't drop that much.
Speaker 4:That's catalog been long.
Speaker 5:No, I'm saying his catalog is long, but it's like when Bryson Tiller drops his album, he ain't dropping it for a minute. But that's because it should Nobody heard of Bryson again the difference with Bryson.
Speaker 2:He a writer at the same time. You know what I'm saying. So he doing the background shit.
Speaker 4:Okay, so I really knew that. And Bryson's fans are so hardcore.
Speaker 1:Yo, I'm still gonna drop so soon.
Speaker 4:I'm about to get that shit tatted on me. I love it, so I'm dead out serious. I'm so for real.
Speaker 2:But yeah, that's what I encourage artists to do. Like, don't settle for just being a rapper or a singer, you know what I'm saying. Like getting to that songwriting, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1:They get memories.
Speaker 2:Even if you think like your pen isn't the best life, you comparing yourself to the Drake and shit like that. Whatever it may be, you feel me Still trying to get into these camps where you can write for the upcoming artists.
Speaker 4:They be having a team.
Speaker 2:Nowadays, motherfuckers don't really listen to songs, they listen to lyrics.
Speaker 1:They listen to what's catchy. You know what I'm saying. Fans are very fickle nowadays. They hear one song and they'll like the beat and then go to the next one and they'll think about the last one they listen to and that's it.
Speaker 2:And some listeners will listen to a song just for the beat.
Speaker 1:Like it'll just be hard as hell. I'll do that sometimes. Fuck with this shit.
Speaker 2:You're like what did they say?
Speaker 5:I don't know what they said.
Speaker 2:I don't know what they said you know what I'm saying. So I encourage motherfuckers to just like just tap into where you can or just like take advantage of it. You know what I'm saying, because there's mad avenues and this music shit Like a lot of motherfuckers.
Speaker 2:Of course, everybody wants to be at the top and want to be on the front, on the face of the shit you feel me Shawl for your city, but at the same time and I'm not saying that's a problem or anything but at the same time utilize what else the music industry has to offer, Because the industry is fucked up. We all know that. You know what I'm saying. But niggas like us. We like this shit because it's in our blood, it's passing. You know what I'm saying. We love to do this shit, you feel me.
Speaker 2:So I just feel like motherfuckers should just go in and utilize everything the motherfucking industry has. You feel me Get into these rooms. That's like motherfuckers who work for TikTok who work for. Instagram or like SoundCloud and shit like that. You feel me? These niggas is right in the city, I'm telling you. You find these niggas at coffee shops.
Speaker 5:I'm not talking about coffee shops, Niggas. Clearly I need to handle it.
Speaker 2:Yo, I'm telling you I'm a put you on game. So if you go on like Instagram and shit like that, you hashtag like SoundCloud or whatever it may be, like interns, and shit will pop up. If you go on LinkedIn I don't know if you had that If you go on LinkedIn and type in like interns for Spotify and shit, niggas who work at Spotify will pop up. Right, you feel me?
Speaker 4:There's all the jobs too.
Speaker 2:You know what I'm saying? All you got to do is like reach out Like yo don't even say nothing about your music, Just like yo I'm interested in, like what y'all do over there, yada, yada, yada, and just build that relationship.
Speaker 4:That's what a lot of my what's that. I saw the book and networking is the main thing.
Speaker 5:Man, you gonna have me on LinkedIn tonight, I'm trying to tell you, bro, everybody, I'm trying to tell you.
Speaker 2:I'll be on it. I'll be on it Because I'm trying to get like even though I do music, I see myself more so like being a dot connector. You feel me Like I want to put motherfuckers in rooms, so kind of like an A&R In a sense yeah, you know what I'm saying, Do you think?
Speaker 1:all right. So do you think the A&R role still exists to this day? I feel like it does, but it doesn't. The A&R. I feel like you're not a A&R.
Speaker 4:That's because we don't need the labels.
Speaker 5:I'll but say, everybody can go independent, so you don't really need to A&R.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I feel too.
Speaker 5:You don't really get blessed with a good A&R these days either.
Speaker 4:A lot of scammers. There's a lot of scammers in this game.
Speaker 5:Do you know who Derrick Milano is? Yeah, you do. That's one of my favorite writers, because I actually watch him. He on everybody's song Bro you say you know that he probably he kind of pissed me off just going. Did you listen to Moneybags album? Yeah, he had a rain on that. He had some rain with Ciara.
Speaker 2:What kind of shit would Beyonce write? He ain't got shit with Beyonce.
Speaker 5:A high album too. That shit kind of excited me because it's like one. I made a song called Give it To Me and I made it after I watched his shit Because it's like I couldn't sleep with him for a reason. Anyway, it's like four in the morning I'm laying down. I'm like yo, this nigga's on live making music right now. I'm like yo, this shit's influential. I'm about to go do something, but I couldn't go. It was too late.

Speaker 2:That's what's up. Yeah, that's what I'm saying, bro. Yeah, just tap into these motherfuckers you're filming Like it's not shown because it's in the background. You know what I'm saying, but these are the motherfuckers who really me making bread, like these songwriters and influences and shit.
Speaker 4:That's what I'm gonna do.
Speaker 2:I'm trying to tell you, like I said, I'm trying to put motherfuckers in rooms, like I want to say, like a NR, just like you know, say, if I'm out somewhere and I'm like yo, I know a couple of dudes, finesz, vlad and Roman Finesz, who can fit, like you know what you're trying to do.
