 to talk to the town and say we have a special guest, Nizzi. Nizzi, Nate, how y'all doing? So tell the people where you from? I'm from the south Bronx from a little neighborhood called Corlin High. OK. A little neighborhood. Ain't that where, like, Highbridge? Yes, around that area. Oh, OK. So how was it growing up in the Bronx? It was tough, you know, like being exposed to a lot of different things. You got to, like, grow fast and do what you got to do. OK, so how did the music, how'd you get to the music? Honestly, my manager and I, we family, and he had, like, a little home set up in his spot. And I just started, like, tempering. So who was you listening to, like, growing up? Like, who was some of your influences? Honestly, I had, like, a lot of people that I listened to. I think I listened to a lot of 50 growing up. A lot of 50. I want to say a lot of Biggie, too. It was a little moment where I was listening to a lot of Biggie. So how would you say those artists, like, affected your sound? Or do you feel like you sound like anyone? Like, who do you think you often get compared to? Honestly, I don't get compared to anybody, really. I wouldn't want to be compared to anybody. So how would you describe your sound? My sound, I wouldn't describe it as myself, my own sound. Honestly, I just, it's not something that I would want to, I don't try, when I make music, I don't try to, like, imitate anybody else or, like... Oh, wait, what I'm saying, like, what genre would you say? Hip-hop, pop, rap? You're not drill, but... Not drill at all. So I mean, like... I want to say, I want to say rap. Okay. All right, that's good. I could switch it up, too. Get into some R&B and stuff like that. Okay. So what inspired the title, Love vs. the Trenchers, for your upcoming project? What inspired it is that on that EP that's being released this month, Stay Tune, on that EP, we got a lot of music that's, like, it has to do with... Some is, like, street related and some has to do with love and it's just about a kid that's, like, in between both, you know? Okay, what do you talk about yourself? Yes, myself. Okay. So do you feel like it's hard to, like, separate or balance or...? It is. It definitely is. So out of the EP that's on the way, do you have, like, any big features on there? Or is it mostly you? Every song... Every song there, for the most part, is just myself. Okay. Okay, and what would you say is your favorite song on the EP? My favorite song on that EP would probably be Living in the Sky. Living in the Sky? Yeah, and it's because I made that song, like, shortly after two of my friends, one of my friends passed away, but it was, like, one death after the other. So it just, you know... It's a real emotional song for me, and it means a lot. Oh, okay, so it's definitely got a tune to that when that EP drops. Okay, so your song, No Time, what inspired that? Was that by, like, a real-life situation? That's a real good question. And what inspired that song is not... It's some of what I live in, mostly about what a lot of other people live, and it's about a guy, a man, as you know, doing what he do out on the streets, trying to survive and stuff like that, doing things he shouldn't be doing, with a woman at home, you know? I've seen people that just recently had a kid and then get locked up, like, the following week or lose their life and stuff like that, so... It really... Based on stories you've been hearing before, and that's in real personal? Yeah, it's not in real personal, but... Okay, that's good. Okay, so what does PTBR stand for? PTBR, it stands for Prepare to Be Rich. It's a business that me and my best friend started, and it's basically... It's something that we started from the ground up, you know? And it's just gonna keep getting bigger. Okay, so what... So it's a business? Yes, we got to... We got to have members? Yeah, we got to have members, I'll see it, all of that stuff. What does a member like have to have to join? They're doing, like, you know? We go around recruiting talent, really. Like, we have this female artist that we're about to... That we are in tune with right now. She's definitely next up. Okay, so what does a PTBR artist have to have? Talent. Okay, so it's just talent? Talent, yeah. As long as they're talents and they love it? Talent, yeah. Okay. All right, so in the studio, what's your process like? Um... In the studio, if you want me to be really honest, before I go in the studio, I get drunk. Okay. I get drunk because they help me. I don't know, it just relaxes me. And I don't write. I don't sit down and write any of my music. Like, if I come up with a hook, I'm gonna perfect the hook behind the mic and then whatever comes to my head, that's what I'm just punching in. Okay. So you freestyle, huh? Yeah. Pretty much. Pretty much. You just released your first visual. What will your next single sound like? The next single, I feel like it'll... I don't think the single will be better than the first one, the No Time. No Time, I really like it a lot. But I think the video for this next single that is gonna get released is gonna be five. Okay. So what is some of your goals? Like, what's a bucket list for the music industry? What's something you're gonna try and accomplish? Something that I am trying to accomplish. Yeah. Music. As far as music, I wanna be recognized. I feel like I will be recognized. I got the talent for it. And once I get the fan base that I want to, I'm gonna try to work with other artists. Right now, I just wanna set my own tone and show people what I could do by myself before I could go ahead and work with other artists. Okay. So, you know, we have the EP coming out. We got another single coming. What else is next, 2021? 2021, traveling. Okay. You know, networking, me and new people, to get me to where I gotta be, and stuff like that. I wanna, I wanna, I just wanna show people what I could do. Okay. So what's some advice you would give to upcoming artists? And advice I would give to an upcoming artist right now, trying to pick up a music career. It's definitely to just like, don't let people's opinions or people's thoughts of your music or of your lifestyle determine your next move, you know? It's people that are really good out there that just let other people get in the air. Okay. And so they never 100% go and attack that craft that they want, you know? Okay, so make your own choices? Yeah, make your own choices and just have a lot of faith, you know? Okay. Okay, so tell people where to find you, where to find your music. Okay, so you could follow me. I'm not a, I'm not a Facebook user, but you could follow me on IG, at PTBR underscore Nate, and that's Nate with an N and an eight. And yeah, my EP is dropping this month, so just stay tuned, got a lot of heat there.
