like I actually bought for myself like cash like I mean exotic car you know what I'm saying I bought for myself cash and I pulled up in a block with it all my friends are like yo m3 that's your new name now I mean like I guess you know how old at this time how old was you at this time I was like what 22 but it's around the ages where you know start doing things on your own so I got that car and then everybody's like your m3 m3 m3 and then it's just the name that stuck with me I'm saying so what color was it called the gray m3 so you want to see it they could go on my Instagram so you can see so you would still buy that car because that's your name now I'm saying like I cuz I got a manager right and he told me to don't get rid of that car I don't think I don't think you just got to keep the car you can just always upgrade it but I think now I do with a hundred percent another m3 already I already got rid of the car saying but he was telling me like nah keep the m3 because look at Rick Rose and Ludacris you know I'm saying they got Luke like for instance Ludacris he got an Acura you know I'm saying that he like he had when he was driving before he even made it I mean and he still got that shit clean pristine like parked up in his garage nobody can't drop that gross you know I'm saying he has like a little longevity it shows where you started from I mean it shows where you came from so you told me to keep it and I'm like in New York City though you have to pack park that up somewhere I know I know what you're saying it's crazy so um so where you originally from though I'm originally from Queens a hundred percent from Queens okay but I was always back and forth so my dad lives in Brooklyn okay and my mom was in the school in Brooklyn okay and I went to school in Queens I got friends in Queens the best of both worlds so who you fucking with more Brooklyn and Queens so how did the music come about the music came about in Brooklyn Queens and school all right so the music came about in Brooklyn okay same m3 I had okay drove to the shop to go get a fix I mean and do so me he was like yo you look like an artist like look drippy like I'm saying regardless of fighting so I look on the regular mm-hmm even before being starting rapping of the cases I was just always like into like fashion and shit like that so it's like oh you look like an artist don't come to studio like I don't know you what are you talking about my first time me and it wasn't the mechanic I went to it was the like the extra that means the guy that owns the place okay I don't know you bro like I dubbed it I dubbed it the first day okay so he persistent he acts again he was persistent so I came back the next day to get a fix you know me again you think he did that on purpose yeah yeah he had his army he had his army from since the first day he seen me you understand mm-hmm he was like yo I need you to come to the studio man like oh you got the look you got the look I'm like yo so I don't gotten I'm not really into music like that I'm saying like I fuck with music like I listen to music your vision wasn't right my vision was your dreams at that moment my dreams at that moment entrepreneur I wanted to yummy get my money up and invest my money in the same places with okay so you go to show you with the auto person yeah so I end up going to start you know I took his his it's what's the word I'm looking for shit information like his offer there we go okay so it gets awful what's a studio with him and made a song made a track and the record was he was a rapper to or he was just directing it the man that has nothing to do it when you see him pull up he has nothing to do you would think like you're not like what are you doing being the manager for music but he loves music like he just loves you I'm saying and basically I'm gonna tell you a story after this tour I he even got into all the music so funny but yeah basically when I went to that studio and I did the track there's like nah you got a voice you know I'm saying like yo we should continue doing this shit I mean I'm like cool like fuck with it you know I'm saying my first time in a booth you know you're a little shaky the first day and then as you go along I actually found love for it I mean so that's why I'm still doing it now today I'm so how about how long ago was that though that was literally last year this time so how do you how did you feel after your first studio session though like a first studio session like I get in the hang of this or use on soon I'm like I'm like it's shit during the pandemic so I'm like oh fuck it's under dude like I'm saying where I'm when I'm bored so I'm like yo let's go to the studio yeah let's go and as I kept going I found love for it okay did you think you would get to where you are now though um 100% because even after that day he was like yo like don't worry man I got you I got you like I'm saying like you gonna make it take shit I'm saying so cool and every every day since that day even tell me like yo don't worry man next year yeah yeah I'm saying like few months no super supportive yeah man supportive all right so the first one you made you drop that or you was like practicing a little bit more like what was your first song you released the first two songs that got released those are songs I was just playing around with like and like the engineers they kind of like it's a little problem with that in the background but I'm trying to get them songs took it down cuz it's not even mixed probably it's not I mean it's not in like you've been learning as you're going for sure yeah 100% I mean going but the actual song that I really dropped like 100% it's so cool yet I mean that's up on every platform right now yep all streaming platforms so was you already right in like so was they freestyle like how was your how's your writing process I write before I go to the studio okay right before I go to the studio and I write in the studio sometimes if I like like Francis like I do my studio processes I gotta make sure I'm prepared I go to the studio I don't like wasting time because pet peeve I hate wasting time so I go to the studio I can't be in there smoking and drinking like a good 10 hours in the last two hours I'm like yeah let's go jump in the booth like I gotta be productive I'm not productive I'm not productive I feel like like a waste I mean so I write before I go in the studio and then after that I'll fuck around the freestyle and see what comes up cuz you never know that's when the best music comes to life okay so who's who's some artist I inspire you though like inspired sound I guess um most definitely was definitely before I started doing music I was into like 90s music a lot of 90s music so I'll say like my deep on old school school right now my D50 the youngest don't know about that but family I mean some of them nobody a little bit little biggie Jada Jada kids and she died at the week yeah yeah legendary hundred percent and a few others I can't really get the top of my right now but now in this generation pop smoke was the biggest influence I'm saying it's crazy I'm saying 100% I listen to a little raw switch I would just I just heard take flows record I'm saying my first time he got that shit that he did it's one record I heard from a couple but um all right so what some like what some lessons he learned in the music industry like currently I guess 100% music and she's dirty man dirty dirty I've been flying places and doing shows and shit and I just realized like how dirty it is like I'm saying I never know and it's crazy my first interview I ever did right it was with a so and um hi honey can I don't know if you know that so honey again they do this is 50 and I did that it was like yo man you you want to leave a 9-5 or whatever the case is or you potentially could get a 9-5 instead of coming to this this this dirty industry where you know I'm guaranteed this and that I'm like nah I'm gonna do it regardless of the fight and I never realized until I'm really into it I'm like nah like this is crazy so you would see yourself doing artistry long-term or you feel like you would transition to a CDO later or 100% CEO like I would do like music for like a five six years I think transition so you cuz a lot of people like just love music and just feel like this is what I'm gonna do long-term I mean I don't know maybe maybe maybe I will continue I mean we can't predict the future yeah it's like it's like you go to college you go yeah you want to do that and the next thing you know we change up your facts so um so during the quarantine did you work on any projects was there was that like not motivational was that in like how was the quarantine for you um during the quarantine like it was still a learning process for me so it wasn't just me working on projects it was just me trying to like become myself become M3 like yeah I mean okay cuz I'm still learning like my own alibs you know I mean like around that time like what I'm gonna say like when I'm saying I'm trying to hype up the track or you know I'm saying what am I rap about what are the cases like rap about myself like you know I'm saying should I used to do all of the cases that was it now this year this year is me like building like music like shit like I'm saying building on a project I mean he's I got I got literally like over 120 songs I recorded like in the stash like hundred percent like a lot of music I got I just never like I'm just trying to figure out like the good ways of putting the music out I'm saying we did a magazine you did music appearances you did yeah and you opened up for a boozy yeah open up a little boozy and young jeezy yeah so like how did some of those ventures come about it's cool I'm just saying cool like it was a good experience went down there and I'm getting them a little New York style so was do you have like a team or is just like the same manager from job managers my team now I'm just asking a lot of artists for like they could do it all on by themselves hangover is hard it's hard because you have people that you got all this that got a person to do this on on the computer and do that and do this and do that it's just me yeah so having another person around definitely helps yeah but you can't trust people that's only thing I don't fuck with me so yeah we said the music industry dirty so so um what some advice you would give though to a upcoming artist right now because now you could kind of get away with being independent you don't really got to be signed nowadays so like what some advice you would give an upcoming artist I mean or something you wish you knew when you was first starting it's a hard question it's so much shit like it means a lot of shit as far as the artistry from the artist perspective it's be yourself I guess like you know I mean especially like take this your series I know a lot of artists is right now that's that's very talented and they don't want to take it serious I mean don't want to take it serious and they time to go to waste so that's the best thing I consider so what do you feel like separates you from other artists what makes you m3 stand out I guess I'm morals principles morals principles and moral fighting for what you stand for I come from a Jamaican family so a lot of things I'm tolerating other things I do tolerate but it's just a principle so for the people I've been following you what's something like you would tell people or what's something you think people don't know about you so far private don't know about me yeah I would go my hands okay not on a dirty way but if you won't think about it for females if they won't think about it but I'm just saying like like like I'm a handyman like I do electrical work well you know so before music that's what you're doing oh yeah like two years ago matter of fact two years ago I was electrician okay in a nine or five right so as all the songs you have that's out well you don't have the yeti song and there's only yeti y'all right now because I'm just trying to like do the right algorithm type shit like make sure that next time I put out a song it's gonna be a project and I'm promoted the right way okay so out of all the songs is in your stash what is your favorite one right now oh my favorite one should we be on a lookout for Kasi now oh matter of fact I'm lying I'm dropping the next I'm dropping the song next month okay no sorry October I'm doing a video next October okay it's a song without I showed you name Royale that's another artist fire fire unless you hear that shit she could spit hundred percent and she can sing it she's nice well yeah definitely look out for that's called Kasi turn up for that shit put that shit out so now drop the video I'm gonna drop the song yeah definitely so what kind of sound would you say you have because everybody's doing a drill and everybody's like you feel like you're a drill I love drew 100% but then again I'm like I feel like drew drill this to like get the tension from the hood like I'm saying like yeah get tension from the streets then like I do a lot of like I do some love song as well I mean and I do something like like I try to go in different different categories can you never know who you're gonna try yeah I mean so I try to pop songs yeah I'm very versatile like so any dream collapse like who's somebody on your bucket list you want to collab with collaborate right now collaborate with a boogie a boogie's nice I like how you flowing the strikes um well it's proper a lot of artists that I don't be listening like I mean I'm for some reason like so who you be listening to yourself on that not necessarily oh you said old school you say you love that old school stuff so bringing the old school into the new stuff I'm trying to just a boogie that's it no out of town yo it's no it's funny I heard um I heard a rapper that you had posted one time named Playboy Grock or some shit like that who a boogie person no no you posted on your page me yeah something named Playboy Grop that's shit hard I'll collab with him I don't know if he's from upstate or yeah I know he's not from Queens or Brooklyn I don't think so I don't think so see promo works guys but um so what's so what's next for you what's next the costume song I'm trying to do some more shows I think I'm gonna open up some girl names man I forgot their names man two Miami city girl city girl please do not say that's crazy I don't listen to them sorry I'm be honest I'm very blunt okay that is what it is I'm old enough for them and they need for Miami I'm looking right yes they are but damn I don't sorry but um so the cost is so it costs you so most definitely that shit gonna be lit you're proud when I should drop 100% alright so what should people find you where can they tap into your music tell the camera tell that camera M3 underscore I tell you can look me up Instagram ain't time I drop musics on all streaming platforms regardless of the fact so when you type in M3 rock I'm supposed to pop up you can look at me at Twitter Facebook I mean
