That shit get the going. Okay. Um. Favorite artist outside of hip hop? Um. I'll just keep saying Jill Scott. I'm gonna say it again. Jill Scott. Okay. Okay. And last one. What's your most underrated song you feel like? Genie. 100%. I got 60 calls about Genie today and it's just an album been out for days. There's no star next to it, but it's like an underrated. It's catching. Yeah. Yeah. So, um. What was the process of making the album? Uh. The one I wanted was everything. Like I just was finishing up one album and just getting back in the still. It was just like basic treating and shit like a job just in the still. Consisting. Okay. So what was the vision for this one? Did you want to like be a little different with this one? Or? Yeah. I just wanted to um. I wanted the album to be just as good as her little poetry but longer. You feel me? More vibes on there. I feel like it turned out exactly how I wanted it to be. So it's done. For sure. I feel like you had a couple different vibes on there. For sure. I feel like I got you. You was talking your shit. Yeah. But one of my favorite ones was broken promises. I think that was a real deep one. I'll put that one. Yeah. So when making these songs, how you decided what goes on the project? Me and my team, we just sit down. We play all the music. We play it for some outsiders throughout the time that we're making it. And then when we sit down with each other, we like vote it up. We vote them out. You feel me? We figure it out. Yeah. So what goes through the beginning? Like how you guys started into music? Um, just listening through my mom and pop. But like starting recording, my cousin rated. He had a studio equipment thing in his career. He said, like, come over here and try a fuck with it. You know what I mean? It was just fun of me. And then it turned into I was good. You feel me? Okay. So when did you realize he was good? I was like 14. I was in the backyard. My cousin came from like placement not too long ago. And he was like, everybody looked up to him. He was crazy. And he was like, right? Everybody say you correct. Right. When I read and he said that shit wasn't mine. He said, you ain't say that. There was no way you said that. So I was like, damn, like what on that? Good thing I'm lying. Like I'm rapping. Somebody else rap is crazy. So that was like the point where I was like, I might really be hard. Okay. All right. And then what was the support like in Philly? Like was it family supportive, friends supportive? Or is it like a little different out there? Family supportive. Yeah. Any on any always. I mean, mom and dad don't really want the kids to probably be a rapper, especially when we surround rap in the city on fun. So, you know what I mean? They were supportive to extent to that nowadays. It's like my son doing his thing. Of course. And again, I had to just push through it. Just show him to be supportive because I was good. The city was supportive. The city embraced hot shit. So if you hot in the city, just keep working. That's the wild body. Yeah. I've seen that. Meek had made a list. I'm threatening him. I'll put you on the list. Yeah, for sure. Yeah. So are y'all acting? I did something. Yeah. But that's my real homie. He's one of the first people that introduced me to the industry world. Like most of the stuff I know about the industry beforehand was through her. Okay, okay, okay. So initially, I guess how is the music scene out there though? It's lit. I would say it's enough music for everybody. It's enough music to go around. If you like R&B, it's an artist out there that's doing it. You feel what I'm saying? But if you like drill music, it's an artist that's doing it. If you like pain music. I feel like it's well spread. Yeah. And do you feel like you are melodic, R&B, rap? Because you do a little bit of everything. Yeah, I would say I'm definitely versatile. That would be my best way to describe my shit. Because I love music. I still love the art of music. So I'll be trying to be versatile. I want to do a song with Jill Scott. You feel what I'm saying? I like the versatile vibe. But do you feel like you're, do you feel like, okay, so a while back, it was a debate on Twitter if like those artists like no cap and Ralo or like R&B type. Do you feel like those are R&B type? Or that's like a whole new genre, you feel it? No, it's just own genre. I feel like T-Pain wasn't an R&B singer. If he was, they're respecting for it. The R&B singers kind of feel like the auto tune shit was like a turning point in the game. So it's like the melodic shit is just getting mastered. This shit T-Pain did on the track years ago. And they've been using it hot in the music. It became like a sound that people like and people mastered it. For sure. So yeah, so I definitely feel like you kind of fitting that pocket too. For sure. When you, when doing music, are you going based on like your own experiences or your friend's experiences? Like how do you, what inspires you when writing? I don't write, but like. Are you sure? Yeah. So it's always like the, just the mood off the run. If I'm making some hype shit, usually we all in a good mood. Making some pain. We've probably been talking about shit that been going on. It's like surrounding conversations and shit like that helped me with my creative process. Okay. And I think early on it was WP tour. Did you drop the WP? No. What's Philly? No, I ain't never dropped the WP. My name just always been just tour, always. But WP was just always in my Instagram name. So naturally people be like, who WP tour? Who WP for me? I ain't never taken WP out of my name. Okay. Okay. So how are you feeling about Philly right now? I feel like a lot of people in Philly are moving right now. A lot of artists are going up right now. Yeah. What you thinking? I think I'm happy for everybody. I feel like everybody gotta just stay focused. Try to stay out of their systems. Stay out of gels. Stay out of them traps. And just keep working. The music gonna get you paid for sure. For sure. And then like in this project you have featured with ESTG. How does y'all connect? Through Nick Cousin. He introduced me to him. But I've been around him a few times after that. I just ended up fucking with him. He ended up building a cool little barn. Yeah. That's fire. Yeah. He seemed like he's a real selective on niggas he fuck with. Yeah, for sure. He a down earth nigga though. He's solid. He gotta be like that too. Once you get to a certain point, I feel like you should always be selective of what energies you let around you. Yeah. I was gonna say like, you know, like, you know, being an industry, I guess like how you went through some of those experience where you feel like you had to like cut some people off or like distance yourself from certain situations. No, I just, I went through experience just in life getting older, just distance in myself period. From like everybody just to focus on locking on myself. When I want to get something done, sometimes it's only you could get it done. So you gotta, and if your friends don't respect you for focusing on yourself and dipping off for second ancient friends at all. So let's dig a little bit deeper into the title. All I wanted was everything. What do you mean by that? Like, yo, what's up? You know how you growing up and you just want everything. It seems simple. Like I want this, I want that. When you asking your mom or you making your list for Christmas or just period, like however it go growing up, it's like all you really want is just everything. It seems like it's so simple, but it's so difficult to get everything you want. So that's it. How do you feel like everybody is perceiving the project though? Like seeing engagement. That shit going great. We might be at like 3.5 million strength for them. I don't know if I'm selling it short. That shit rolling. I might be selling it short. It's like, it's doing great. You feel me? The city? It's an airy car. I ain't in the city right now, but people be FaceTiming me. And playing maybe like this. Look, somebody right next to me. Look at this older person right here. I'm in a park. They playing chess listening to it. Like, shit great. So what song do you feel like everybody's talking about? Yeah, what song do you feel like everybody talking about first? Say my name, Pride. All the girls feel like say my name. Can I fuck again? That's popular right now. Yeah. It's all in it. That's the intro. So, you know, I was really rapping to all my fans that have been around from the beginning. My core fan base love to hear me really rapping from something. Okay. So if someone that's not into my tour and they about to tune into the project, what song would you recommend they listen to? First. Or they got to start from the top. I would say started from the top. It's a great project. We're in straight through. Like I feel like the reason why I put out projects instead of singles like most artists, because my music gets consumed so well is like a body of work because like I'm so versatile. So like it's fans that might want to hear a girl record be my single that I put out but I put out a drill record that's totally different. Yeah. So it's like I like to put out the body of work and get my fans all different kinds of fans what they want to. Okay. Do you feel like people don't value bodies that work anymore? I mean, of course your fans do but I feel like, you know, people try to push the whole single, single, single thing. Yeah. I feel like the industry set up to look like whatever is lit is what you should be doing. So like when you got an artist that signed to a label, he got a big machine behind it. So his singles that he dropped and it's going to get the looks that it needs. So that's why you think that you probably should do that but you are an independent artist without a fan base. I want to buy into you. You got to sell yourself. So like I remember the beginning of future dropping project at the project at the project. Like that shit builds your character. Then you end up with 12 singles that you could go perform that people actually know when you put out a lot of music. When you put out one single, you go on stage, you do that one song and nobody knows the rest of it. And that's it. Your set is done. Yeah. I definitely feel like projects is like important, especially on the rise for sure. Do you feel the pressure though, being that I guess you got your fans used to seeing you do projects and things like that. Do you feel like it's pressure or do you feel like you just push it all in every time? Yeah. I think I just, I just do what's natural. I really love music. So it's like, it's no pressure. It's just like, go do this shit that you love to do, you feel me? For sure. I mean, and give us a little bit of what you feel like are the pros and cons right now of you, you know, going out pushing project, traveling, busy life. On the pros and cons? Yeah. It's a bliss to pros. I don't even want to say but y'all got the idea of it. All the stuff that come with it. But the cons, it's like, you mean just, you gonna have to sacrifice time away from your family sometimes. You gonna have to sacrifice time for your personal life just to work on your craft. Like shit that you probably used to always doing. Habits. You going to certain habits you're going to have to let go if you really want to strive. You feel me? So what, what motivates you to keep going right now? Go? Um, everything about it. It's like, nothing do not motivate me. My daughter going always, every day I wake up, she gonna motivate me to do anything. But outside of that, it's just like everything motivate me about it. My fans, my team, like just knowing I got to keep the ball rolling. The marathon continues and the words are knit. So definitely being someone fulfilling, what advice would you give someone that's I guess, either out there or anywhere in the world that's coming up and trying to get their foot in the door? I would say make good music. Do yourself. Build character through your music. Make your sound. Don't try to sound like everybody else. Sound like you. On yourself. That's mine. And tell people would find you. How could they tune in with you? My name, WPTour, 2T on Instagram. My name is T-O-U-R-E. My name just T-O-U-R-E on everything else. All streaming platforms, DSPs. All I wanted is everything out right now and go streaming that shit. I appreciate you. Of course. Thank you. Thank you. I think you like the you like the fourth Philly artist we had. Philly's been pulling up. Okay. Yeah. We had Diamond. He came with Kwai. Diamonds, you came? Diamonds, you came? Yeah. I know what that is. He's all right.
