 Like, I'm sure you've been in the studio with them, into meetings with them, shows with them. In the process of you working on your music, so what was something that you learned? Like, it could be a life lesson, it could be something you've seen, you don't want to happen. Like, you know? Don't hate. I ain't gonna lie. That's what I'm talking about. So, you seen them have a lot of haters, I guess? Hey, guys, we're on a new episode of Talk of the Town, today we got a special guest. What does that mean? Explain to me what that means. Jack you or clapping? Oh, it's up. Okay. Okay, okay, okay. So, how'd you get into music? I was younger. My older brother. I got older, got older, started going to the studio and then I just went in my room and then just wrote a song. What was the first song you wrote? You remember it? You dropped it? Well, the first song you recorded? Yeah. You dropped it? It was me and my brother. My sister and my brother's friend. So, your brother still rapped? Yeah. Okay. So, when did you start singing? When I was younger, my older brother was rapping, old song. I got older, got older, started going to the studio and then I just went in my room one day and just wrote a song. So, when did you start taking it serious though? When we dropped PSA. Okay. That's my... So, you started taking music at that time? So, not even no more parties? I was taking it serious but like... Remember that stuff? That's why I'm a chore, then just know I got my lane. So, you found your style on PSA? Yes. All right. So, did you always know music was your thing or was it really influenced from family or like... Not yet. So, what was going to do what... If it was the music, like what? I was playing basketball and shit. I wasn't thinking about music at first. So, music came in from family and stuff? Yeah. So, I'm sure you've seen all your friends do music, D-Thing, Ney and everybody. How was that? Like, I'm sure that was motivating, you know, seeing your friends going up and shit like that. So, like, what's some lessons you learned because when they was just starting, you wasn't really starting or you was just about to start. So, what was some lessons you learned like while watching them? Like, I'm sure you've been in the studio with them, into meetings with them, shows with them and the process of you working on your music. So, what was something that you learned? Like, it could be a life lesson. It could be something you've seen. You don't want it to happen. Like, you know. Don't hate. That's what I learned. So, you've seen them have a lot of haters, I guess? Yeah. That's shit. I was going to say, because y'all three, y'all seem like y'all super, super support each other. So, like, let's say, like, what's some tips you would give on how to support your friends, I guess? Because I feel like support is ready. Like, when they having a moment where they just, like, saying fuck everything, you gotta be there. So, man, we gotta keep going and shit. Being there through the bad times and then, like, how do you feel like that they motivate you? How do your friends, do they motivate you? Like, what I just said, they do that. So they there through the bad times too? Yeah, so when people say you're going up, like, what does going up look like for you? Like, because I know even people always say, Bando up next, Bando up next. What does that look like to you? Being next. Or being going up. Like, what does that look like? Like, numbers, streams. So is numbers and streams important to y'all? Because, you know, y'all putting up crazy numbers right now. No label help. So it's literally all y'all. So that's why it's like super, super important. I was gonna say, so when y'all was coming out, you and your friends, y'all was talking hot and stuff. Do you feel like you had to, like, keep that, I guess, momentum going? Being that so many people was coming for RPT? Yeah, of course. You feel like you had to hold it down? So like, um, so like, what, like, have you ever heard the name of the song? Old Tom? I was gonna say like, what was the first, I don't want to say the first song, but like, when he was like, nah, because I know it's not, you don't go to the studio purposely to diss people, right? So it's like, you had to hear a song to get you amped up. Like, nah, it's about that time. I don't remember the name of it. Not the song, but I'm saying like, what song was that song where it was like, it's about that time? Was it PSA? Oh yeah. Where you had to come back? I ain't gonna have to show them. Okay. Okay, so how do you know, like, when someone's a fan of you, like for your music? They comment on, like, shit on Instagram and shit, YouTube. Like, I believe, I watched that, so I'll be seeing, seeing people all the time, all the time. I'm not saying they're grim, but... I was gonna say, cause people say it's hard to tell fans from dick writers. You just, by the way, like, what they saying? The way that they commenting and supporting and stuff. That's how you know. I was gonna say, like, where do you feel like most of your fans come from? You feel like a lot of them from the city, or you see them from other places? I think a lot of them. At first I thought it was coming from the city, but then when I really started paying attention to my comments, my YouTube comments, I really see it's all over the world. That's all over the world now. Okay. I was gonna say, do you feel like you're gonna keep this in people, or do you feel like you're gonna switch up soon? Cause you be talkin' hot, bro. I got a song to cut it, and I switched it up with. I just feel like when I post it, when I do Trilers and stuff to songs like that, they don't like it. Trilers and stuff to your other songs? Trilers and stuff. So, okay. So you feel like the fans want you to be this way? Alright, so, but you do plan, you do plan on switchin' it up though? Yeah, yeah, I just like this. I was gonna say, do you feel like that's gonna stop the money in the long run? I don't know. That's gonna really show them like, oh yeah. Like if it keep me disrespectful, you don't think that's gonna stop bread? No. So, do you think that the hip hop police is real? Yeah. So if you was able to just make music, and you could never do a show, you'll be okay with that? That's what I'm sayin'. So I feel like with the disrespectful shit, that's when the hip hop cops come around. So like, okay. I feel like they're gonna stop y'all from doin' shows that stoppin' bread. So, you feel like that's unavoidable? Like, what you gotta do is what you gotta do. Type shit. Oh, okay. So yeah, so your Honor Radar Freestyle was good. Went up 100k plus views. Then you made a song. Was that the plan to make that a song? No. So you just saw it goin' up on YouTube? And he was like, gotta shoot this or I gotta record this? So you see how you just, what made me do certain songs? I heard my name on some wack shit. So I'm gonna show him this now. And I did that fat. I personally did that freestyle. I never did nothin' else. After I saw it start goin' crazy, I said, alright, now I'm gonna do a little song. Okay. But that wasn't the initial plan to drop that as a song? I say a lot of fans are saying that you're consistently dropping now. What is consistently dropping looks like? You feel like you gotta drop once a week? Because I don't know, people think that's the thing, dropping once a week and shit. I'm dropping consistently now. Before, everybody was saying that if they're gonna be consistent, they're gonna get more recognition and shit. I just gave my fans what they wanted. I'm about to say, but what does consistency look like to you? Like if they gotta drop at least once a month, twice a month? You gotta drop more. Three times a month? No, you gotta drop more than that. More than three times a month? You think that's consistent? You feel like fans keepin' up with that shit? Droppin' three times a month? With the Vids too? Or just tracks? Some got videos, some just on old platforms. Okay. Alright, so you're not signed, right? Are you signed? No. I was gonna say, okay, so, what's your favorite part of being an artist? Like is it the studio or is it like shootin' music videos? Videos. Sometimes it could be the studio too, or the whole gang in studio, videos for the most part. What makes videos so fun? Just look at them. Everybody is just good vibes. I'm about to say, like y'all be going crazy with the dance moves. Yeah, it's our shit. The dance moves y'all shit too? I feel like y'all gotta do a tutorial on how to do some of these moves. Or that just be the vibe or the energy that they're. That's just us. Regular? So y'all be teed up on the regular? Okay. So how do you go about picking your beats in the studio though? Or you have to like... I just go to my Gmail. Most producers, they just send me beats to my Gmail. So you don't go on YouTube no more?
