 It's the network. Your networking situation and how you guys were able to get in contact with YB and Corday's manager? Yes, sir. Yeah, so basically this is a funny story actually. So like basically like we make our own music but we also produce and like it's you know we're inspired by like Kanye, Ryan, Leslie like all these guys who sort of have this sort of double edged sword where they make their own music but just as great as they write songs for other people and produce songs for other people. So that's definitely something that we want to do and that that should that we want that to be part of our legacy. And so I was going to the YBN Corday show, Aki and I meet up like four or five times a week just like work on music and I'd gotten like the day before the show I got this like email basically and it said like your meet and greet package with YBN Corday comes with this this this and I'm like I didn't even get a meet and greet package this is crazy but then I was like fuck if I'm getting a meet and greet like what am I doing I'm gonna make something happen right and so we just sort of like hopped on like a group call this is back when I worked at like when I was working my nine to five too so just like hopped into like you know meeting room real quick like had a quick conference call with like AP and like our manager everything we're like yo what can we do that's like unique to get his attention. AP came over that night we basically like just did some research and we like figured out that he was hella into like Yu-Gi-Oh Pokemon like just anime in general and so we were like yo like let's not just go up to him and give him a USB because bro he's gonna like slap that shit out of her hands be like get the fuck out. Let's not pull the like here's like 10 beats card right yeah no it's just not gonna work that way and so so we're like yo let's think of a unique way to it's about framing it right and so we realized because he's super into Yu-Gi-Oh I was just like yo I think actually AP said this is a joke because we're corny like we like we like just cracking dad jokes and shit he was like he was like yo we he was like yo we should we should make him the YBN core deck and I said it as a joke he said it like I just I was like but I was like bro stop this guy looked at me like that's genius like that's genius and then I was like Yu-Gi-Oh cards right and so what we did is like while AP was working on the beats and mixing and mastering them that night we were up until like 5 a.m that night was crazy I was just like photoshopping his face onto these Yu-Gi-Oh cards basically and yeah you can show yeah why don't we pull up like the Yu-Gi-Oh card real quick real quick this is one of him on obelisk if y'all know obelisk you know about Yu-Gi-Oh then you know obelisk the tormentor yeah so these cards basically what we did is I went and I printed these cards out the next day because I was going to the show AP wasn't with me but we put QR codes on these cards which basically the QR codes with like if you scanned it would go to a soundcloud link and it would basically like those are the beats basically and so I get to the venue and lo and behold the security guard's like anyone who got an email about meet and greet it's a it was a glitch you're not getting meet and greet so now I'm like shit like what are we gonna do put it all this work into this it's like you gotta get to it yeah and you know how venue people be like you're going up to the bartender security and they're like I don't give a shit bro I don't give a shit if you need to get this to him like that's not my job like all right whatever I'm just in the crowd real and I'm like I'm with like five of my boys so I'm like guys I'm a tweet this real quick I need this tweet to go viral so I need you guys to share this with like every single one of your like what's that groups and then everyone needs to start tagging YBN Cordae because I did the calculation he gets like like 50 mentions in an hour so I was like yo if we can get him like 20 mentions in like 10 minutes like he's gonna see it for sure and he's backstage and everything so I took a photo of like the Yu-Gi-Oh card deck and I was like yo we made this for you like like I'm in the I'm in the crowd they won't let me into like meet and greet what's up you saw it within 10 minutes and then he was like yo my man's about to DM you we linked up with his manager he like took it like obviously like we chopped it up real quick now has YBN Cordae hopped on one of our beats no no but if I'm being real with you like it's we don't necessarily look at this like I'm thinking I'm thinking six seven I'm thinking 10 years man I'm not thinking like like you know like why didn't he use one of our beats I'm thinking like we're crafting this relationship with someone who's obviously like killing it in the game and like coming up and to be honest like probably even more valuable is like connecting with his manager because if we ever need to connect with like a booking agent I hope he doesn't watch this but if we if we ever need to like connect with a booking agent or something and like we need that intro like hopefully he got us right or someone else or whatever it is and so he came back actually like he really like he loved the he loved the ego cards he put on a story and everything which is dope then when they came back this was even more important they came back again six months later recently he opened for logic and at that show we were like yo we have to like follow up because the follow up is just as important like that's how you build a relationship you can have like the first touch point but the first touch point doesn't mean shit if you just like drop off and so we made him harry potter cards but this was what was really important we made cards for every single one of it like everyone in a circle so we made cards for his producer for his engineer and his manager because those are the people that matter man like yb and cordy is getting like he's getting a million messages a day these guys they're doing just as much work but they're not necessarily getting this like when we hit them up they're like yo we appreciate you for thinking of us right and we met up with like all of them gave them the cards and now like where it's at now is like we just hopefully have good relationships with them how did you get their attention the second time what's up how did you get their attention the second time uh so i have like notifications like on insta of like whenever they go live or anything like that and i don't know if i can say i can probably say this is fine like so they went live like uh cam his manager and like his producer on the tour bus and they're like yo man we're just bruh like we're there's no weed out here like this fucking washington's boring as fuck and i'm like yo y'all are in toronto right like i got y'all on that loud like when you come here i just said it as a joke or whatever but that he was like yeah and then they were like oh shit that's the yugio card guy yo yo link me up link up link up and i already had cam's number so i texted him cam's the manager cam's the manager sorry i texted him and uh you know linked up with them like uh gave them the cards i showed them the cards and they're like yo dope um how i reached out to the oh sorry this is really important my bad skipped over this detail but we had a direct clown cam but like you know the producer didn't know us the engineer didn't know us these other guys obviously didn't know us um and so we emailed them also like we emailed them like we planned it out so that a week before the show we were like yo come link with us and like toronto in a week we have these for you and we sent that to the engineer and the producer because we knew that if this guy didn't respond at least this guy would respond and this guy could get everyone else the cards like it was basically like hoping that like one of them at least one of them yeah one of them would be the gateway at least but and it turned out great because all of them responded but like we just had that sort of in mind to bulletproof it dope dope yeah man it's the mat work
