woman up I just stumbled this way I call myself you know saying everybody like that when I did it I said no I ain't gonna do it no more I don't lost I don't lost tribe you know and it's a sometimes I wake up in the morning and it's so crazy and like his recent song it is pop up in my head and I'm singing I'm just singing that song I'm like man it's a catchy song when I see the clip of it in the video I tell you they come out to them no it'll be our Friday it'll be our Friday I'm dragging that way and that way I mean that videos I knew what the wagon probably meant but I'm not just to make sure I'm like is that what he's talking about is that what the wagon right yeah that wagon man that was how what was the process of the first of all let's talk about the song okay what was the process of that song what inspired that song well I'm gonna tell you how this song started it started I'm gonna say exactly I started I was at Big Teep is all okay and now Big Teep is all my boy Hakeem over there man it's going down yeah so Big Teep is all you know after we first come in you got the food yeah yeah yeah that's that's that's answer mama spot yeah yeah so I'm sitting eating you know I'm saying so we had an old-school guy about two the tables you know in front of me so a lady came through you know she had a lot of groceries back there you know I'm saying you know so she came through and so I look down look at the old school old school that man he was like and she dragging that wagon back so when he said I said you know what I just thought he just gave me a brand new song when he told me that I said about three weeks later I already had the music track I haven't recorded then so it took me like I think I was working on my album I work on my third album okay time okay so he just gave me extra son to put on my wow so how many songs on this album and what's it is it what is it called it's called taste like candy taste like candy taste like candy album it got like I believe there's 12 songs 12 songs and when that album coming out it's already out well how you gonna put that but the song there's just a video now video when did it come out because I didn't know video to my dragon that way no the it came out maybe a couple years ago okay so you just decided I'm rich back and getting grabbed you know okay I got a matter of fact I'm gonna go back and reach back and get that I got a song called hit it from the back mm-hmm so I'm gonna reach back and grab that out but grab that that song that's gonna put a video to you know I'm saying all my hit songs I'm gonna go back grab them songs and put videos so we spoke about that because you think you are gonna try to put that on Vivo yeah yeah so what's the difference in putting it on Vivo and then putting it on YouTube well you get paid on Vivo well you get paid off YouTube too but Vivo you know is it better it's a whole lot is it hot what's the process I don't know the difference in the better what's the process to getting on Vivo though it's just you're paying or what yeah I'm not much in nothing you know I'm saying but if you got a hot song and but it's mainly artists it's mainly artists that's what it is for for just just the music yeah that's right that's right so I mean you can't get on Vivo now to my the boss the boss they won't let you know that I don't know but that's all right listen listen we'll be on the seat of your network that July the third right yeah we go on all the way yeah yeah we you watch us on TV yeah definitely man most definitely be up man Vivo I've seen it but I never knew the process to I guess getting on that platform all the stars man that's why they be pushing to go toward I think it's Vivo maybe some old kind of stuff I don't I don't know all I know is Vivo all you know it's Vivo so so we the song I mean that song there is one that sticks out what's the other one did you say you gonna bring back from the back it's called from the back I got one called good motor she may have a good body but she got a good old mode oh man grab that I like that one see what that's a movie she got a good motor good old motor you don't say a lot of you got they were about the outside they don't worry about the inside she got a good motor man I have a good body but she got a good motor good old mode like that man these words with what a situation is like where did that one come from I don't you know what I really don't know a lot of stuff just really just come to me you know just come to my head something I love stuff that's I like writing music that's that's very catchy you know you be like wow okay like like you said where they come from yeah so a lot of people do they just write just to be writing do you have to be country to write these type of songs I'm thinking because like more city people won't come up with certain you know just like what you putting with it so that's why I'm like is it more of a country thing probably is you know yeah I like it you have to be off in the woods you gotta know something about the woods you can't just say that ain't nobody gonna be able to know about them you don't know how to get up I don't lose when you get in the woods you know I'm saying yeah only on the only other genre that I know that does that it's country yeah that's it yeah right catch yourself yeah but I've always had been like that matter of fact matter of fact I'm gonna back and grab that I got something called Peter Peter pumpkin Peter Peter pumpkin need a had my wife and I could not keep but I thought I had her in a share there he kept very well Peter Peter pumpkin need you write it just go with it oh yeah oh yeah so do you like when you writing like you just for singing that you be think you be hearing this song are you hearing the beat whenever you're doing it well a lot of time when I when I write the course I don't even have to be okay I know but can you hear a beat and a lot of time I write music for as mean I do the music first did not think of the lyrics and everything after okay you know I'm saying so it's pretty crazy how I do it you know people do different different different ways and you've been and that's one of the things that you you gonna do you gonna get that music process and get it through we gotta have it it's like crack once I find out who you was man that song man if hey don't forget to tell on you oh yeah thank you man let me tell you something thank you that's the one stay in my head and all day if I talk if I think about it I'll be at the house as I just start saying my boy right there you go in on that one face the backstab oh man I just like the way to end the video like I told you last time yo I don't know who you work with but the videos be so crisp man and that's that's the part where you I think a lot of our blues artists didn't get that part you know I'm telling you definitely a lot of them didn't a lot of them didn't get that they couldn't they couldn't transition into that at all and I think you're doing you're one of the best ones I've seen do that but you know what they're gonna say because he's young well other blues are older where they've been they were adjusted to that old-school way of what's true true but I think it's just I don't know if it's the record company that doesn't have the good quality because it's not the artist you know saying cuz if you want a record label they provide the video and all that stuff so I don't know but don't you think sometime that they may want to keep that feel just to keep that old way up there true the way blues was yes yes but but I agree with you visuals are too good not to not to not to capitalize on do you use the same videographer for all your videos or do you use different oh the hollow can you go see how low can you go I can hear baby how low you drop it down to the floor like how do you pick that videographer you you be see seeking them out now yeah I do I just go in Google go in a go to YouTube and you know look at their work quality I'm yeah gotta have quite a good quality but that video a couple of videos by different people and the other guy you know different that was by a different guy but the one I got for dragging that wagon is a whole different guy yeah the guy that does drag and that wagon did all did more three video with is that profit no prophecy no Jeff Jeff Jeff there yeah okay yeah okay yeah what's that y'all be easy didn't do the first time you've worked with yes yes how did you like I love it the quality is like he beat all my other videos well I don't know the heart the hollow can you go video and I don't tell you video I don't know I don't know I want to see if this if this is true okay you said that beat majority of the quality of your videos is this the most expensive budget yes because that's what they say is like you can know the quality depending on the budget yes yes yes 100% oh yeah tremendously so that ain't not a whole lot you know but it is a bigger budget yeah it ain't like you're back in the days when it was a hundred thousand no no no you pay for what you get pay for what you get that's true but like I said I'm going back and get some old video because at the time I'd have the money yeah yeah yeah to do the old video right you don't say and I really wasn't thinking you know I'm gonna go ahead and put a video to this song you know that's why I'm reaching back and grab them old videos but like I said a lot of people don't even know about my old songs you know they didn't have a visual so it's still new to a whole lot of people then he didn't visual that's exactly that's important thank you so much yeah and the wording and the titles and all that are part of the wordings get me every time because every time when he starts singing someone I start laughing yeah man dope dope sound to the sound the engineering is good man thank you man using on same engineer or just different engineer me I do everything I write my own music I produce my own music I mix my own music like I play bass drum keyboard guitar I do it all I do my own writing I got my own studio I do everything but that's dope yeah I do my own mixing before mixing I do my own mixing before it's getting mastered yeah you know I take it to somebody else that knows about master mastery so I let you know but after mastering like once and they get familiar with your sound it's pretty easy oh yeah pretty much yeah most ever I just let them know what I want yeah because a lot of people they master songs and they take the whole field out of the quality I had a song you know I like to have a snap yeah yeah you pop you know it's something that you know you your ear here you know what you most definitely most definitely that sound I think you have to make sure that each project that sound can a it's able to tap back into your yes your supporters correct correct correct so like me I don't I don't read music I can't read music but I play by ear you know and it's it's really it's a good thing you know because when you read music you know for someone just say they want to break it down but it's not on this sheet so what you gonna do now well you can stop playing they say to structured you don't know how to be versatile that's right that's right that's right so you get a person that can read music in plus play about your bad bad yeah black mean man if I hear a song one time I could play it right then no problem no problem immediately right then ain't got a little she know nothing just one time you can break right into right on it wow that's dope man I gotta get to this show man we got we got to we've been yeah get on it get on it I've noticed a lot of your performances are not in doubt no they've been Mississippi they'd be everywhere Dallas well Dallas I'm sure you have a supporters here oh yeah tremendous I mean 100% of Dallas so you know they really want to pay the money okay you know because I'm here in in Dallas so so what I'm gonna do I'm just gonna let them know I don't move back to Mississippi you know give them all same prize I do out of town you know same but yeah but I don't know I did just I mean I don't know I mean they didn't try to pay it's up to God most definitely most definitely when it's time came done stop oh yeah most of them will kick the dough in the A.B. maybe dragging a few months over there down at the Blues Palace that's it that's it that's it and artists does artists charge more when they have to go out of town compared to because of travel and hotel and all of that but not only that once you take a traveling and hotel out you still still got pretty good piece of change you know but it just I mean out of town pay more money than in town yeah we're in a day where do you where's your next show gonna be at next show we have this coming Saturday we have a little country time called Roxy Mississippi Roxy Mississippi and Sunday we're gonna be in Caulfaville Mississippi I think famous so you didn't hit all of Mississippi Mississippi love it man Mississippi lose and you go there all the time I was going upstate St. Louis St. Louis back in St. Louis Oklahoma North Carolina South Carolina what's the furthest you've been uh I played in Vegas Vegas late in Vegas I pay in California yeah one time yeah that's good man you went up how'd you like Vegas man I love it man I can't get in trouble up there I spent all my money and I came out broke but you was you was up to having a good time Vegas no sleep no sleep no sleep lights got cut off when I come back Cali how was I was the you went I love it I love it no no not gonna be I want on some of the script they got some the script man they got all kind of they sell all kind of stuff to a thing man is it a fashion yeah like something called the alley yeah yeah yeah yeah that's what we've been through all kinds of fashion district yeah so I didn't really get a chance to do too much because you know I didn't know too well we just came out for this day one show yeah yeah yeah flew in and out yeah flew in and out so if you stay too long it's like you wasting your yes right what you came for that's why that's why so you got a budget accordingly in order to make sure it makes sense for for the year right really cuz you your boss right oh yeah most definitely you definitely got to be careful got my own record label man I got my own record label are you looking at signing in the artist no I just got my sister now your sister so blues I got my mom she on the gospel that's dope man so so who's your what do you do you set your mom shows up and stuff too no they pretty much do their own okay do their own stuff you know you know I do what I can just to push my third to help them no same but they like I told them they got to do they can't just sit at home you know I'm saying they gotta go out there and push that thing promote that thing and and you know you can't just be sitting down just because my name on it that don't mean you have you who artists that you work with on different songs oh who you featured on songs you see you know I'm saying let me see man a lot of people man what's I did stuff with but I did stuff up God named you the Jones I did stuff yeah you heard of him what's I stuff I did stuff like a lot of man who's I did stuff I pretty much don't work with a lot of

oh yes oh yes like version like like water clear clear nice and the people there was cool real nice real nice I can't drive though cause he's riding on the wrong side of the road just up the street and back I didn't get in nobody way that's how they drive in England to drive on the opposite side I can't do it no not at all but I mean upside well the vehicle upside the road it's the opposite side of the road oh okay vehicle in the damn road I can't do it because it's a lot of Japanese cars and that's Japanese cars I always have the steering wheel on the opposite side already okay remember when he came out of airport and he's like hold up no man it's just and then the way they drive brother you drive crazy I wrote a charter bus to Montego no to Ocho Rio Ocho Rio says that how they say it oh man man like the kill come on you're going up in the hills it was a Jamaican dude over there it was a Jamaican dude on there say I would never ride the bus he probably was living up here for a long time never ride I say oh lord if you don't want to ride man I shouldn't be on it you don't want to ride it I don't want to be on it man it was crazy man and but the but it was worth it when we got to our destination how long I was down before the weekend just a couple of weeks you down there for a couple weeks I was there for a month what yeah yeah yeah when you go to those places honestly you have to be there no less than two weeks so so what about the the prices of it is expensive not not like not like not like it's almost the equivalent of here except from the things that are cheaper there is services so like you're gonna go get your haircut gonna go get for girls you get your nails done whatever it's cheaper than okay okay but everything else like food and all of that is probably about the same okay and and this is different dollars that you don't want to resort to just all inclusive all inclusive okay when you hit touchdown you ain't got a word about my next next trip man oh yeah touch down that thing you take vacations oh I just recently just started all this year I'm probably on like last year we did my before like last year you know yeah when they had a little money

God that's right man you better you better you better you need to update this stuff because people are watching everybody can ask you I know I'm gonna do it Monday I'm gonna do it Monday I don't know when I did a schedule and you do everything yourself that's why that's dope I do everything myself you let them do it well yeah true but to me I don't know it just hard for me to angle said trust it is trust I got trust issues it's your it's your it's your something you created that's right and you want to make sure that you give the absolute best to what you're doing yes and you want the people that's gonna acknowledge it to get this but it's hard sometimes because you you can't be two places at the same time that's right you know and that's the hard part about I'm the same way you is I don't want nobody editing for me nobody I'll be real particular on people touching but you can't do everything yourself because when you're spending all this time doing all of this something is gonna

it won't it not cannot can't get it get it and get to get to know wanted yeah I like that so it's like it's a Jamaican thing like yeah it's what it's saying it's saying it can't get it right yeah so it's like you want something yeah you want and you can turn it into like sex thing or a romantic thing or whatever I'm gonna get my phone and I need you to say what you said on the phone okay so it's like you want it but you can't get it but people who have it that's why I want it and that's really life in period a lot of times people have something I have something really good yeah yeah sometimes they have it really good and they don't want it but people out there who don't have it see it I want it that's so true because everybody be one one stuff they don't need but you know stuff they can't have you can't yeah yeah yeah you gotta practice that Jamaican accent and throw that just like that so this year man what we're gonna do to make that meal ticket man we're gonna keep we're gonna keep rocking and rolling any new any new ventures that you're thinking about I don't know man you know you got a stretch man it's some stretching gotta be done man most definitely I don't know how to do it I'll be thinking like that too that's what business moguls do that's why they be trying to figure out ways okay now hell the LJ Eccles Cup you know I'm saying I might need to get me two or three them and get him to sponsor me and get him some people to one that's why I'm just something different because you are brand them t-shirts they'll go they'll go do they do you do you let the you don't let them get them at the shows do yeah I got some you do most definitely most that matter of fact I got some in the van I'm gonna get y'all to get our shirt are you serious most definitely it ain't the thing kind of we were at this little more cotton on that they know what these are custom make them by myself you know okay for promotion you know I'm gonna take what happened a guy matter of fact a young guy Dallas okay got in fact that are else on it I'll tell you about he said man why you weren't somebody else is somebody else does you don't say you need to be one your own tell you what's going on so now I feel uncomfortable just one in about it's like if I go to the store get some I don't I get from from from the mall or anything I get pants pants to come to shirts I don't get no kind of shirts I make my own designs on it or you just keep it like that all the time I keep well I change it up every once in a while you know I change up the other jackals number one soul blues singing I

see-through shirt boy come on the next day you have on all white this is really tricking the system boy you know how to make a nigga want to get itself together you know what I have a white one just like that too see through the see-through man I can't stand you that why you don't want to be called with the mother because you ain't you ain't like the mother I try to be different man you are you are so different man I don't try to be like nobody else you know I mean you know I try my best to be a leader not a follower you know if I see somebody that's doing something I'm gonna just say well I want to do that too no no no what I want to know because this could help anybody who's listening I know you said you were smaller before oh yes how long did it take you to be able to gain away because you have a lot of people out there who are underweight or skinny and wish that they could gain some weight they want that body you know what I mean so how long did it take you and how did you accomplish it oh okay this is what 2021 but I see that girl look like that girl was all your hands all these girls all driven to yeah but you you was do you look like a little man oh I'm actually close I'm gonna tell you when I'm skin I used to wear clothes on the clothes yeah I know guys do that I know guys about five per pan 10 you lie I had a man but he did a couple of a couple of shirts a couple of a bottle just to mix a little bit for a long time so this 2021 18 you be hot that was a hot color 1819 it took me three years I said three three three years what scene results so I said no no no no no no so same results it took me about five months six months no he didn't take that long man I saw same results man but in a three weeks of month wow like a little results now yeah yeah yeah major results you know same but whenever you see that result you're gonna continue to keep that's right because all the time you wanted to gain weight so how if you could see the results so quickly how comes you didn't go this route before true that's true that's true that's true that's true I don't know I mean I don't know I just I just I planned in my mind when you plan me I'm type person when I plan something in my mind I'm gonna continue to I'm not gonna stop until I accomplish that you know I'm saying so so so like for my brother for my brother and my brother over me well up under me and my big brother they was bigger than me and I'm not supposed to be the big brother you know I'm saying so I see them start gaining muscles gaining weight so I said man hold on that I said hold on I got to do something you know I'm saying so I went for you know I went for I just thought I used to like so when I was drinking beer through the week I used to drink more than I eat mm-hmm and that cut out a whole lot of cold I'll cut a whole lot of things so I start just stop drinking through the week just start eating more you know you know I start taking a little supplemention I'm saying like a little creatine yeah yeah that's yeah I start out with a little creatine you know how bulky up quicker yeah well yeah it do quicker so I did creatine for about a good month then I let it go then I just really start naturally start yeah that's not good for you really no no no it's not it's not it ain't gonna hurt you though but it's that's not well you don't know if it's going to certain know certain people bodies and certain people chemistry with different things it can also yeah I believe it's like everybody racks of things different right so you know I'm getting back to the music man I had to tell somebody had to tell somebody yeah how to tell somebody yeah that's it oh yeah I like that yeah I can keep it to myself how to tell somebody how to tell somebody oh yeah I can keep it to myself you know I like that boy what I wanted to know is like when you did that song right there what was the inspiration behind that song I don't know man I don't know I don't know what made me come up with that song had to tell somebody wouldn't be me that's been a while yeah it's been a while it's been a while that's off my got five albums out so I will say third album I don't know man I don't I don't I just how do you pick which one that you go you you single yeah like for a single off the album well off that same album I pick why had good motor of the same album good motor mm-hmm what's on that album good motor Peter Peter pumpkin you after that as well I don't know I just pull it out tell somebody man I mean I don't I don't even know how this song come about but it came to me you know I'm saying it came to me you don't say you could be telling your problem she be telling her problem not just come up with it you know I'm saying so it ain't you know a lot of stuff I write about lost I've been through a lot of things other people been through also yeah anybody ever hit you up or DM you and say hey I got an idea for a song like fans all day say you know what I've been through this I want you to write about it all the time I have artists well people trying to be artists all the main box right now could I write this could I be due to do it's not even just being an artist but maybe somebody as a fan mm-hmm been something so that I feel like this would make a great song and because I love you so much that's right you know have you found a good one like that yeah a lot of me in my inbox doing that but I have found a good song so I mean I mean you know I mean all words you know you know if you say it's good you get you're gonna write it but I'm talking like if somebody tell you their situation oh yeah it's such a dramatic situation that you're like oh I got an idea from that almost definitely a lot a whole lot a whole lot a whole lot tremendously when you you mentioned that Jida Jones song earlier loving me on borrowed time yeah so how did how did that happen did he call you or yeah he can't yeah he called me he came to me and said man look man I got a song I want you to get up on jump on he just he just called you up yeah call me I said man ain't got a problem with that you know I'm saying so he shot me the song and I did my verse and we did what I do yeah and how did you feel about the process after it was over I love it you like it was different you know saying wouldn't have been your process no no no no no not at all but it's different you know I love it if it's good I love it you know I'm saying so yeah then he came to you know let's do the video the video deal we did a video and man it was a nice song it's an older song but it was a real nice song blind crippling crazy what's up with that man I rather be blind crazy all right before I let you get away from me I rather be somewhere picking up days before I let you leave me I don't know man so that's another one like blind crippling crazy that's his title man oh yeah yeah most definitely most ever matter of fact another guy a older guy way back in the day got a song called blind crippling crazy okay so so I mean it's pretty much similar to the hook part of that deal but I just twisted me my only thing you know I'm saying but have you ever came up with the name of a song and did not realize that someone else had that same song similar like you came up with it you never heard theirs that's right and it's like so similar what if they'd be like he stole that song from me no no no no no no no no no yeah hopefully I never have them wrong now I will do pinch I'll pinch a little bit on something every every producer will pinch a little bit off of something the old stuff you know I'm saying it ain't gonna be that's kind of what that's kind of okay on it was care saying and mr. Lee was here to wrap a lot yes he said the same thing a lot of the old yeah he said they do that yes tremendously yeah for the new time you can do it and not get caught yeah or you could do it and get caught like ti and uh what's that boy named the white guy that did the song with Pharrell oh yeah his dad is a million they won yeah they won that was more of a game yeah that's more of a game yeah but that's not a good name of the guy what's the name what's that do he was yes Robin Robin think you gotta be careful cuz if they hear that the cadence is the rhythm in there it sounded like it to bang a pinch that much I'm gonna get some crumbs over to me it don't sound like that everybody get up sure I sure right that man that's that man that mom gate went hard boy man that was a different era man that's man that's that's what I'm trying to let mom get me that nigga went out with a bang I won that case yeah that's who Marvin Gaye kids wanted yeah they won they won it got that money allegedly sell me we don't know yeah but yeah man do me a little bit of that tell on you man just that first verse come on man I love that song man what I think whoa that's my song baby you got to be careful how you break up in 2021 you got to be careful yeah that boy that's it you got to be careful man listen this woman is laughing at me she's calling me names and she's smiling in my wife face yes she is she told my wife whoo that I ain't no good but oh she didn't tell her that she was sending to I told her if you gonna tell on me oh don't you don't forget to tell on you boy that's it right

with a little bit you know what I need a little bit of that that's what I need but you know what I never was what you call a lead singer right I've always been like in the background background you know I never yeah I never was like this that's why I have my own style I ain't trying to copy nobody's style you found your calling this is your car I know you say you have other ones that you're gonna reach back for and this one was so good how are you gonna top all of these oh that can be taught but you know life happens and every time life happens it gives you different experiences yes different ideas so and that's where it comes in because you don't know what's gonna happen that's right that's right you know with COVID coming out that that was something that could have been on a song in a way to where people closed in a lot of people in writing the code I never wrote there's a lot of people right to it I don't know I don't know probably I probably could find it if I look for it yeah but now time now time I think everybody doesn't know COVID song you know the movie's gonna come out soon like this man it's coming nobody seen anything like this man so any cousins relatives
