You know locker with clothing company. You know it's part of who you are and hip hop is your attitude and what you're trying to express, how you dress. You know, I love sports. Growing up. I grew up in a household where it exports is on 24/7. 00:00:43 Speaker 1 So these all things that are you know, are comfortable for me. 00:00:47 Speaker 1 You know, these are things that I like, so I would just say get involved in things that you love and also. 00:00:52 Speaker 1 If you have a standard for yourself and have some sort of integrity and try to you know, find some sort of truth in what you're doing, that thing is getting again, it goes back to a bit over one the same as well, like it's the discipline. 00:01:07 Speaker 1 As well the discipline and not get caught up in the moment, you know, music is like stocks too. 00:01:12 Speaker 1 You know, there's the hot thing of the moment. 00:01:14 Speaker 1 You know, there's this hot Electro sound or the hot autotuned voice, or the hot whatever. 00:01:21 Speaker 1 Whatever is new and exciting and you know you know, people tend to make emotional decisions based on that. 00:01:27 Speaker 1 You don't stick with what they know. 00:01:29 Speaker 1 This is who I am. 00:01:30 Speaker 1 This is, you know, this is what I do and then they, you know, jump on this next hot thing and you know it's it's not for you. 00:01:37 Speaker 1 So for me, just having the discipline and having the confidence that that and who I am, you know. 00:01:44 Speaker 1 And if I go into a studio and and if I find my truth of the moment, there's there there are. 00:01:51 Speaker 1 Uh, number of people in the world that can relate to what I'm saying and and it's going to. 00:01:58 Speaker 1 Buy into what I'm doing. 00:02:00 Speaker 1 You know not because it's the new thing at the moment, but because it's my genuine emotions is how I feel. 00:02:06 Speaker 1 That's how I articulate the world. 00:02:08 Speaker 1 And you know. 00:02:10 Speaker 1 Just happen to discipline and just, you know, be yourself. 00:02:13 Speaker 1 Yeah, I'm inspired by you know, life and all sorts of things. 00:02:17 Speaker 1 You can say something right now and would inspire me to write a song or something to happen. 00:02:22 Speaker 1 You know, most kids just happen to be inspired by by Skii drawn. 00:02:25 Speaker 1 You know the drawing and he had the most young Kings get their head cut off on the bottom and I looked at that and I was like. 00:02:31 Speaker 1 It's powerful, you know, this is the statement in itself. 00:02:34 Speaker 1 You know lends itself or. 00:02:36 Speaker 1 Song. 00:02:37 Speaker 1 Song starts inspired by Bosky OTT. 00:02:39 Speaker 1 My Chariots on fire. 00:02:41 Speaker 1 Everybody took shots at my body up I'm tired and then is this a build me up to break me down to build me up again they like hold we need you back so we could kill yes again you know it's like this thing this love, hate, thing that the world has with success period. 00:02:59 Speaker 1 It's complex. 00:03:01 Speaker 1 Right, and it's deceiving. 00:03:05 Speaker 1 At times you know 'cause people think the two equate. 00:03:08 Speaker 1 Yes, you know to each other. 00:03:10 Speaker 1 They don't write that, it's a. 00:03:11 You have a lot of money. 00:03:12 Speaker 1 It's a. 00:03:13 Speaker 1 Yeah, I have a lot of happiness, but that doesn't mean that the two equate to. 00:03:14 Speaker 1 And then. 00:03:14 Speaker 1 And. 00:03:17 Speaker 1 Each other, as your happiness written at the same amount as your. 00:03:20 Speaker 3 Bank account no. 00:03:22 Speaker 1 That's the thing. 00:03:23 Speaker 1 They don't they. 00:03:23 Speaker 1 Don't they don't equate or they're not tide in anywhere or wow. 00:03:24 Speaker 1 Data they're not tide to each other. 00:03:27 Speaker 1 I mean, it allows you freedom and allows you to go places where you could smile when you look at the sunset and things like that. 00:03:33 Speaker 1 That's what you choose to do and you enjoy to do. 00:03:36 Speaker 1 But there are a lot of people with tons of money who are unhappy because they either they become a prisoner of their money or they become so consumed with. 00:03:45 Speaker 1 Getting money that they don't allow time for happy. 00:03:48 Speaker 1 Venus Right life is about balance right? 00:03:51 Speaker 1 You have to have some type of balance you have like time for work and it's time for play. 00:03:56 Speaker 1 And if you don't allow these two things to coexist, you have an imbalance of one another and I wish I could say we were geniuses and said we're going to start our own company. 00:04:05 Speaker 1 You know, that's not what happened. 00:04:08 Speaker 1 You know, in the beginning we went to every single label and every single label shut they do. 00:04:12 Speaker 1 For us, the the genius thing that we did was we didn't give up. 00:04:18 Speaker 1 We didn't say because these guys you know we use that. 00:04:22 Speaker 1 What do they know approach, you know we we didn't give up at that point. 00:04:26 Speaker 1 I think that would you know that was the genius thing we did. 00:04:29 Speaker 1 We start selling our own CDs and we built their own buzz and then the record company came back to us. 00:04:34 Speaker 1 So now we had. 00:04:36 Speaker 1 Uh, different negotiation. 00:04:38 Speaker 1 You know it was in the same artist label relationship. 00:04:43 Speaker 1 Now we retain ownership in our own company and it was the best thing for us. 00:04:49 Speaker 1 It's like it's stuck on one thing that's, you know what music is about diversity? 00:04:55 Speaker 1 Like if you know you got on. 00:04:56 Speaker 1 There's like is, I'm just like, you know, dunks, and it is all about everyone. 00:05:02 Speaker 1 Contribution, you know you had before you had tried Ice Cube Public Enemy at the same time as Digital Underground was just so many different I had every album you know it was all different types of sounds and approaches, but it was still great music. 00:05:18 Speaker 1 I'm not just, you know, although to his dad you know their songs that have auto tune that I love. 00:05:25 Speaker 1 But when everyone jumps on this bandwagon and everyone make tries to make the same exact record. 00:05:33 Speaker 1 I mean I heard that record from T pain. 00:05:34 Speaker 1 I liked it. 00:05:36 Speaker 1 I only hear 100 times from 100 different artists like I want to hear different stuff. 00:05:41 Speaker 1 Our job is to find their genius level talent and then to apply it in a way that supports that talent. 00:05:42 Speaker 1 Great. 00:05:42 Speaker 1 00:05:45 Speaker 1 Yeah. 00:05:45 Speaker 1 00:05:51 Speaker 1 Quick example is God. 00:05:54 Speaker 1 Way better than Michael Joy, but he did make the lead. 00:05:59 Speaker 1 His circumstances got away, so you have to define. 00:06:00 Speaker 1 Fix something. 00:06:00 Speaker 1 00:06:03 Speaker 1 You have to find your genius level talent, but you have to believe you have to believe in it so hard because people put their ship their insecurities on you. 00:06:08 Speaker 1 Yeah. 00:06:08 Speaker 1 00:06:10 Speaker 3 So hello. 00:06:12 Speaker 1 Like when I was younger. 00:06:15 Speaker 1 I had my demo tape. 00:06:16 Speaker 1 My first thing I was really happy. 00:06:18 Speaker 1 Good luck. 00:06:18 Speaker 1 00:06:18 Speaker 1 About this ship so. 00:06:18 Speaker 1 Luck. 00:06:18 Speaker 1 00:06:19 Speaker 1 I played this phone I, you know, I was like why I?

Normally I didn't go to any proper Business School or any read any super follow any manuals like the record business 101 or anything like that. I just pretty much follow my instincts and he just reaffirmed that for me that you know your instincts are very important. 00:07:26 Speaker 1 To you. 00:07:27 Speaker 1 I love the you know I love that thing of collaborating, you taking the best of what you do is someone taking the best of what you do and you not robbing from what they do and then robbing from what you do when you bring the best of what you are to the table and you put it in this mix and you see what happens. 00:07:44 Speaker 1 You know I love that part of creating. 00:07:47 Speaker 1 So there definitely be. 00:07:49 Speaker 1 You know 'cause I. 00:07:50 Speaker 1 I don't believe in those lines that people put up for music. 00:07:53 Speaker 1 You know, this is for this person. 00:07:55 Speaker 1 This is for that people, you know this is rock. 00:07:56 Speaker 1 This is Blues. 00:07:57 Speaker 1 I just believe good music, bad music and you know put those two elements in the room and you know see what happens that that the you know God, the universe, the movement, whatever it whatever happens in. 00:08:09 Speaker 1 In that room that we not we why? 00:08:14 Speaker 1 Whatever happens, you know, make great music. 00:08:17 Speaker 1 Well, I started this uh Shawn Carter scholarship program. 00:08:20 Speaker 1 You know, noticing how education was, you know, not being addressed in a neighborhood, and also as a way to show people in our neighborhood that you know, you can be successful and come back that that person that used to live in five seat. 00:08:36 Speaker 1 Move 534 fashion is not a person in a box. Now you know not someone you just see a concert or see on TV. You know most people that were successful growing up. 00:08:47 Speaker 1 From where I was from, never came back so was never dialogue or not. 00:08:53 Speaker 1 How did you do it would happen? 00:08:54 Speaker 1 There was no mentoring program. 00:08:56 Speaker 1 There was no going back and grabbing a person, teaching them, you know, trade or you know what it is that you do and then that person go back and grab two people and then you know. 00:09:07 Speaker 1 And then it goes from there, so I figured I'd start with school because, you know, education. 00:09:15 Speaker 1 No. 00:09:16 Speaker 1 The answer is the answer. 00:09:18 Speaker 3 Thank you guys so much for watching.
