What a Boss is pretty much going through all situations and circumstances, trying to figure it all out, man. Man, I appreciate you all for having me. Man. Watch out, man. You watch the show? Most definitely. Man, he be going down on Viridoni. Oh, yeah. Really? See, look, when he hit me with the call, normally, you know, he would just hit me, you know, with a drop, man. Hey, look, so-and-so trying to do this, do that. You know, all right, you wanna do it. So it's really just, you know, he hit me with the call. I'm just thinking it's just something, you know, I gotta tell him, yeah, you know, I go back and look at it, I'm like, oh, that's my guy. Yeah, I'm always over there. Yeah, man, cause I, you know, I call and talk crazy, people say, I'll be like, I'm gonna mess the interview up before I get it. I'll be too, I'll just be too real. Like, I just, I can't be fake, so I will never be too real, though. So I'll be on it, like, I'm like, what's up? You know, I'll just be who I am. So if you see me on the set, that's what you're getting when I call you. So it'll be like, damn, you know, like, who is this, this nigga crazy, or this nigga bold. That's him all the time. And it's just me being mean, so I just can't be fake, man. But I feel like right now we're in an age to where that's rule number one, like being authentic before anything that people wanna see. You really about what you talking about, you know, even if you a rapper, you know, they wanna see if you really killing, if you talking about killing, like, it's just, you know, whatever you giving to them, they won't see if it's authentic. You said that's rule number one, but a lot of people don't live by that at all. That's why, you know, when you think about the life of social media, 80% of social media is fake. But that's why you got people that win and people that don't. You got people that get it and people that don't. 80%? I said about 80%. Damn, you know, like 80% like that? You really gonna go in like that on us? 80%? I mean, I go with a 100. We 100 over here. Of course. Married 20 years, had this business over here for 16 years. Got kids just, what, 15 and 17? And I ain't gonna tell you the other two age, but you know, they grew up in this store too. It's just crazy because, you know, you in a real situation here. So for whatever everybody else doing, I have nothing to do with that. Man. But anyway, for me, I love to get to know you as a person. Not a singing part yet. Right, right. But where were you born and raised? I was born in Hammond, Louisiana. I was raised in Amie, Louisiana, between Amie, Louisiana and Rosalind, Louisiana. But it's really the same thing. It's all small, it's country and small. Where's your Louisiana accent? See that's, see people always get that mixed up. Look, it's more of us than New Orleans. New Orleans is like they own the island, they own the corner. You know, you can be from the outskirts of New Orleans and still don't talk like that. Okay. It's bad and rude. But I met people from Louisiana. I'm not New Orleans that have a crazy accent. But look, it's a feud though. It's really a Cajun accent, a Creole accent. You can go to Lafayette and they got it. Some of them got it. You can go to Reserve, Laplace. You can go to Slot Hill sometime, but it's just different little spots that, you know, I don't know why it is. It was already like that. I already know you get out, man. I already know, I already know. Yo, yo. Yeah, he got the regular voice for choice, you know what I'm saying? Yeah, there's a whole different ball game over here. No, he don't got a regular voice. He might got a regular dialect, but a voice part now. Well, when I say that, I'm talking about dialect, so you're right. I'm gonna let you win on that. You don't let you win, but you hit me with that when I came live. So were you raised with your mom and dad? My mom. Just your mom? Yeah. Why is that ever, I'm not saying everybody, but that's like the story everybody gives. Where was dad? You know, he was doing his thing. He was around, but he wasn't around. Okay, so at least he was around, so you do know him. Yeah, you know he had his choice, you know. Did you ever listen to Shaquille O'Neal? Party favors. He got a song called Field is My Father because my biological wouldn't bother. Mm-mm, I never heard of him. You gotta check that out. Okay. I never heard of him either. Go check out Shaquille O'Neal. He used to rap, believe it or not. I know he used to rap, I know that part, but I didn't hear that. I had a song called Field is My Father. Don't he got Platinum Records? Yeah, you know what I'm saying? Like, yeah, he got a way of getting his, getting his, yeah, that one was hard back in the day. Shout out to Shaquille O'Neal, man. Shout out to Shaq, man. Ha ha ha ha ha. I ain't no good. I wasn't listening, so I don't know what he was doing. Go check it out. Go check it out. I know he was doing something, but I don't know what he was doing. Put in Shaquille O'Neal and Field, and you gon' see what I'm talking about. I hear he had crazy features. Like he did an album. He did? He did have some features, but just go check him out. You know, he was playing ball, too. You know, he started off, I think with the Magics, then he went on over the Lakers and all that, but that boy did his thing, man, and I always been a big fan, but that music part, I really remember, because I really believed in him. I believed in him in the music as well. Many niggas didn't, but I rode with the niggas anyway. Big Shaq. But his dad, pretty much, he was in the same situation where he felt like his dad didn't do what he supposed to did by himself. I think that's a lot of us. I don't blame him, though. He had his choice of party favors, you know? Yeah. So, you know, he had his own battles. Oh, really? We talk, you know, later on. But did you understand that as a kid, though? You didn't understand that as a kid? No, no, no. Were you mad at him as a kid? I wasn't mad at him, but I appreciate him, though, because he put a chip on my shoulder from young, like, I'm telling you. And the chip helped? The chip helped. I ain't gonna lie, from a kid, I was already on what I wanted to do when I grew up, man. How I wanted my life to go and all that. Man, my pops went around, man. I wanna have some kids. I wanna have these many kids. I wanna be their form. How many kids did you want? I wanted two. Oh, okay. I still passed two, though. How many you got? Yeah, I had a twin, so I still write the three. Oh, okay, I was about to say, you made it sound like I'm gonna have 10. That's what I was looking for. No, I'm done. I'm done. Wow. Man, you know, when you return on this smooth sound, man. First of all, welcome to Dallas, man. I appreciate that. You know what I'm saying? Welcome to Dallas, Texas, man. I love Dallas. I mean, you know, like, Dallas is a place where I think, I mean, it's a lot of guys that come through Dallas, man. I had the pleasure of rockin' with. Shout out to Sir Charles Jones. Shout out to Sir Charles. Shout out to L.J. Elkles. Shout out to... Big bro. Yeah, like a lot of these different guys who really, they're sings. You know what I mean?

He rock out. Yeah. Yeah, he's that guy, man. Just look him up. Stone Mecca, shout out. I'ma do that. So you always wanted to sing from a kid growing up? No. I ain't gonna lie. I thought... You remember when Drumline came up, the movie Drumline? Now I thought... I was just using my head, you know, I'm a kid. I'm thinking, all right. Football, go from middle school to NFL. All right, basketball, go from middle school where really Lil League, you know, go from Lil League to the NBA. You know, band, you know, go along with both of them. So I'm like, all right, they got... They got a big league band. You know, so I'ma be Nick, I'ma be the best, you know, and I'ma... But it ain't work out like that. I figured out later on, you know, it stopped after college and you gotta figure something else out. Did you used to sing in church? Yeah, yeah. What was one of them church songs that you used to sing? Give it to me. I always do that. That's one, that can help somebody right there. Oh, yeah. Yes, let's go. Let me see, let me see. Give me something. The one that you were singin' like, man, that's the one that get me through. Yeah, yeah. Let me see, let me see. Let me think of one. Let me think of a good one. There you go. Thank you. It's one my mama used to sing to us when I was a kid. Let me see if I can figure out the words. So your mama can sing good too. Yeah, yeah. She do it a little bit. Let me see. Oh, rejuice, take joy in my key, in what you hear, and let it be a sweet, sweet sound in your ear. Man, man. Oh, man. Say, man, that's what I'm talking about. Something that'll get you through today. You know what I'm sayin'? That's like you got to have some song that can get you through when things get tough You know mine was just a light of mine. Yeah. Yeah, or either it was you know, I'm older So mine go back a little bit further it was it was it was a bunch of songs that my mom would sing us and And it was songs that I believe she heard from people that was in her family And I think you got to have those songs man Because those songs will get you through and what I'm saying they'll get you through they will and ain't no way around it I think you you got to get out. So what what? You ever you in a you're in a different I don't know your age, but you you're younger You live when a young man coming to this game Seeing the type of music that you sing in this time a lot of people Sometime rejected feel like you have to pave a way seem like you not ready They're trying to figure out a way to make it to where you have to go through all type of tunnels to get there How hard is it being for you to get in to this whole situation? Not hard at all. Not hard Yeah, cuz I really had the understanding like I watched Like a lot of upcoming artists. I watched they path and you know what really stood out for them and made them You know made people love them and I figured out you really just got to be you with whatever you're doing It don't matter what you doing But what I wanted to know Cuz you said you didn't want to do music at first. When did you figure it out that you want to do music and Why I think 7th grade. I want to say it might have been 8, but I think it was 7th grade My cousin Slash best friend growing up, you know since babies he came to school one day and And you know, they was on a desk that's back when they had the MP3 players You know when they had the MP3 played and they had it in there, you know, they're recessing everybody I'm thinking a new song came out They let me hear it is him and a couple of my other partners now I had never been on a song before I think we did like Remember the karaoke machines? That you could put a tape in and you can record it you can hit record and then get on the mic I think that's about the closest thing I had did to Recording something but hearing them on the song and I Said oh, yeah, yeah, and then that's around the time where I figured out. Yeah, it is this band thing on the go So far something else out, but I knew I wanted to be rich though And so now like every kid. Yep. So now I'm in bed Everybody thought man, I thought I was gonna do Nick not everything Nick knew how to do look my thought process was All right, Nick did it and he was this good I'm gonna learn everything Nick did and I'm gonna be a little bit better. So I know for sure. I can do Like this man, I had to be I don't like Ten nine you wasn't thinking that's this is just the movies. Uh-huh. No, I didn't know the movies was the movies You thought it was just I'm feeling you was in that whole just Yeah, yeah, I was in front. I never had drumsticks or nothing. So like my band director when I got In band finally like he was he was in uh, because I didn't know how to do I just knew what to do But you can play it by here. Yeah, but it's like when you're playing on a drum you have bounce You know, you have you don't have to you know, do everything real fast with your hands, but I didn't know nothing about that So while I'm doing it, I'm trying to make it sound like they but I'm doing singles with everything And I'm really doing some shit that I ain't supposed to be doing So when he heard me, yeah, I got pencils. I ain't never had drumsticks. My mom ain't never buy me no drumsticks We used to you know, the hangers.

Yeah, we used to take them and break them in half And beat on like I made your own drumsticks pins busting them on the couch What did he say when you what did he say when he seen you do that who your your your instructor, man I think uh, still to this day My class was his favorite class ever came through there But he didn't know what to say Like because he was trying to do the introduction. Look, it's funny. It's funny now But I was so serious because When I got to middle school, I was on this before I was in middle school, right? Yeah So when I got to middle school, I'm all games no play You know, my pops ain't around. He was around and he wasn't You know, I don't know where yet. I'm thinking about man.

Yeah, I played that shit and I played a little something something on the head Oh man, what he do? He just man. He got quiet for like another two minutes solid two minutes, you know two minutes being quiet That's a long time. That's long when everybody looking around and he just looking at me. He said Man What are you doing? I said, oh, I fucked up Ah, I put too much on I should have left I should have left the something something on the end. I was like Damn, Nick fucked up the same way I came in He said, man That was good He said, man, you don't have to try. Matter of fact, I want you to help me do the trials I looked at my guy and I said I told you I didn't say it out loud, but I said it with my eyes I told y'all and I told you who was gonna We were to get to everybody that I said the order that I said They was in that order. Wow. Yeah, because you trained them. They already knew what to do. Look, I told them though because look, I got discipline already You know, Nick and son them though my crap Man that movie influenced you that much man. I'm telling you so look I told them I said You know, they know who I said was gonna be what's up, but I ain't got nothing to do with that. Y'all gotta earn this right You feel me? I ain't picking nothing. Y'all gotta come in here. You if I say the ones in the two Yeah, if I said you won and I said you too and two came in here and showed one up two is one Yeah, that's how we doing it. But everybody got they uh, they got the spot. They stood their ground Yo, yo, they and they did exactly what he already knew that they were gonna do That's how you judged the right before How hard was it for you that to readjust to the real way to the real way you're playing drums and stuff Yeah, compared to just using your pencils. How hard is it to it was hard because After figuring out I wanted to do that I'm always in church and my mama She was a uh missionary at the time. She evangelized now. She moved up Man, she had us in church so much Like and and god forgive me. Don't don't do me that We was in church every day of the week at one point. I feel like Monday nights Was like children's ministry Tuesday night was like choir rehearsal Wednesday bible study Thursday night was women's ministry. My mama ain't had no babies settle So you had to come? Yeah. Yeah, and then they want to sign up No It didn't keep you out of trouble That's got you you get to contact with more people the girls at the church too. No, because look everything working How you got in trouble if you had church every night? Well, I was half of the time I was by my at half of the time I was by my mama when I'm by my auntie. I'm in the hood. I'm around the roll. I'm outside You know, I'm getting in the shit. We fighting dogs. We are a type of you know All type of activities. I ain't okay. Yeah, that's hard man. I just like Man, I know already your love for music is there for you to do a whole Nick Cannon run You know I'm saying drum line man. That was hard man. So I just um like when I listen to your music man Like you different than a lot of people man What inspired you to do the type of music that you're doing on these like I think I seen three on the internet That really was sticking out to me. You know what I mean? Yeah, like what caused you to do that that genre of music? Uh my partner right now my manager CEO, whatever you want to call him T Hogan, you know, he he was reaching out. He actually booked me You know, I hadn't known him, you know already we had good rapport and I'll let but uh He booked me for a show and a meet You know, and I'm I'm like, uh, he went through my partner scan to get me So, you know, I got love for scan. All right, you all right. I'm gonna come do it Um, I didn't know nothing about the music Excuse me. I didn't know nothing about the genre Nothing about none of that because you are just into r&b. Mm-hmm. Okay, but I'm modern modern day You know, I'm young so I'm on what we own right. So I'm like, I'm be dead. So what is on you said? When you think about mode three and and and and when you think about mode three and and and that song like like The song that he would sing. I remember you I just me when we was talking I'm saying I bring it up now how you you basically He he took a liking to you when he was alive. Mm-hmm. Like how did that even happen? Uh, I used to be in the army, right? Okay. Uh, I was at at Um, it's like a two week thing you got to do when you're in the national guard, you know two weeks while you're out there I'm bored You know, I was a troublemaker anyway, so I was probably in trouble somewhere uh So, uh, I seen um When he did a remix to that sierra and I I was like, I ain't know who he was or nothing, but I know I liked it. Yeah, because Like I'm one of the people that still make videos Singing, you know, just raw Just the camera and me and you don't see a lot of that no more like people don't be and he used to do that Yeah, yeah, like people don't be brave enough. Like you got to really be getting in the kitchen Yeah, you got to really let people hear how you sound You know, because everybody using autotunes nowadays. Yeah, so it's it's like if you're using a lot of it And you do something like that, you know, they gonna hit a real So you don't really hit that too much. So I saw that, you know, I was like, man, who this dude is because I'm To me Me and my uh, my cousin that I started doing music with we the only two niggas that still do this to me in my head Yeah, you know at this time you were about 21 20.

Yeah, yeah, too But I just I just take a liking to who I take a liking to like I'm more of a fan of the craft Then you know the status and how big you is and all that So while I was there, I couldn't get it out of my head. I was like, you know what? He remixed he remixed it. I'm gonna remix the remix the part about it. You know, it's crazy I made a mistake and uploaded the first video anybody that's saying they know like if you making a video like that By the time you finish, you're gonna have like 10 videos in your phone from you starting it over trying to do it Right. Mm-hmm the video that I uploaded Was the first try that I did and I ain't do it right or nothing I was just trying to see if the sound the volume was right and everything I accidentally did it. Yeah, and I switched. I think I got a new phone And I couldn't get my data over so I was like, man, yeah, I gotta get the video right here So the one that I picked wasn't the right one and you were shocked and I just threw it up You know, because I just knew, you know, it was the right one. I just threw it up by the time I realized it was at like 50k You know, so you can't really take it down now after it's at 50k. So That's hard man. It's crazy. I still can't really listen to the video Like that because I knew how I did it. I knew I didn't wait better Right. So every time I listen to it, it's like So what did you go viral on the second time?

See you got them southern roots man Yeah, so, you know, I think about it The boy say you want to go out and hang out with me in the country But this is what he's gonna have to deal with man I'm down here dealing with a lot of singers a lot of you know Ain't gonna be a whole bunch of rap music ain't gonna lie to you because I'd be sitting under the tree I told you that when you was on my show. Yeah, so at the end of the day, man, I'm gonna take you with us But you know, have you ever what's the most talented guy like you running to anybody that really not in the industry Or don't sing at all on nowhere, but they were just talented man I knew I was gonna hit you with one with that one To be honest, you might not believe me Man, it's so many of my partners. I'm talking about close friends. That's like running circles around me Like yeah, and they just and they just sitting around They not they not sitting around they doing their own thing, but you know, they don't get on they're not enough They more musicians. Okay. I got it. I got it. They go they can go but they but they finna be back, you know They ain't tripping. Yeah, they ain't tripping They just want to be like they love the instruments. They love their artistic way, right and then too like it might have been a lot more People from my area that felt like they wanted to take a chance doing that if it was, you know If you could see it Wow, a lot of people are scared to take chances and and people love to do what they're doing People don't like to step out of their comfort zone. That's why you have some of the people who finally Tired of being the backup singers the backup dancers knowing that they have so much talent They step out on faith and they blow up But there's so many others who are there who are scared to step out on faith people like, you know what I'm paying my bills I'm comfortable I don't have to be up front because up being up front comes with a lot of responsibility come with a lot of You're talking about you don't have to move but You blow up so big that everywhere you walk you got to have a body guard You gotta um, you can't show your face you gotta send somebody shopping for you people some people like to be Able to talk to regular folks But when you get so big you can't just walk and talk to regular folks all the time It's not because you don't want to It's just that you know, I always say some the bad sport for the good You have some people out there who just that's what it is, right? So man, you know at the same time though It's a lot of people that that I don't even blame them You know when they don't uh Take that chance because you coming from somewhere where struggle is real That's it like and it's a few ways Like especially being a black man. It's a few ways for you to get it and like, you know a couple love main legal Yeah, so it's like when you uh A lot of people don't understand like being an artist. They they see you pop off and then They see all right. He making money. He didn't he didn't got a song now He doing this he doing but they don't see you know behind the scenes you them been in the red seven to eight years You don't win in three hundred four hundred thousand over a period of time before you ever seen a dollar So it's like when you already come from the struggle and every dollar count and You ain't seen nobody else around you that and did it, you know to the fullest extent And then so you telling me all right since I got this talent if I want to do that I gotta just Take a chance to be the only one that ever did it from around here. Like that's a big chance you did It's a big chance because we have so many people that we've met who want to be artists entertainment But they in the streets They don't want to leave the streets alone. So really you're not giving You're not giving your career a hundred percent of you and if you're not giving your career a hundred percent of you How you expect for it to go where you needed to go you have to let that go in order for you to You know, put all the attention and everything into this Yeah, you see I was 28 before anything ever You know popped off for real like I had moments You know, but you got to capitalize off for them to make it count big But you know, it was I was 28 before anything a lot of people give up before then Yeah kids man. I gotta get it. I got I got this to do. I got mortgage now You know, I don't I don't got me a house now. I don't got my girl You know, we don't you know, it's a lot of stuff. They get in the way of that Yeah, I just never let any of that getting you know, I saw my my years getting my 20s leaving me You know and I but I always believed in myself top three artists of all time did or live any genre um Just three top three any general did or live number one All right, number one.
