 Y'all talk one-on-one, one-on-one. Here we gon' talk, we gon' have fun. We be on fire, we be lit lit, lit. It's a unique hustle. Check it, check it, check it. It's a unique hustle. It's your boy, he's CEO, and I'm here with the lovely, amazing official, Mr. Mako. What's going on? None of it on my day will all go on. But don't forget, y'all have to subscribe, follow, I mean, share all the content on all platforms. You're on Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, you name it, we're on it. But we're right now, we just started doing our Patreon. So y'all gotta, gotta, gotta follow our Patreon because that's where you're gonna see our full-length interviews after a while, right? Now we're spoiling on YouTube, but you gotta go to Patreon. Right now we're spoiling you on YouTube, right? You gotta go to Patreon, do you understand? Say, man, we got a special guest in here today, y'all. She don't need no introduction. She been on every platform. But mine, and I got her today, so I'm not playing with y'all, man. Period. Say, man, this young lady right here, man, anytime you talk about music, especially in Dallas, she kinda was carrying the load for me when I first started this show. Like who the one, who doing the music in Dallas? And they was like, take money, that's who you need to check out, take money. And I said, well, I'm gonna check out, but what, where, I said, okay. And then I did, man, and I was very impressed, man. Take money is in the building, man. Big duh, the baddest, the cutest. Man, so. I think you started liking her even more when you found out she from East Texas. Man, you know, you know, I won't be honest with you, I'm not gonna go there. You know, we don't, that's too early. Because, you know, like I said, East Texas is real dear. You know, when you got it tatted on your chest, it's real serious. I don't know about everybody else, but I'm not playing about it. But at the end of the day, I do know, you know, Athens is right there, I'm Tyler is right there. But when you go all the way. Where? I'm right by Louisiana. I'm born by the Cato Lake. So I'm a real country, real in the woods. Like past Marshall going up in the national. All the way in the woods, past, though, past. Get in the woods. What is that? A alligator, you know what I'm talking about? There's a college at ETBU. That's Marshall. That's Marshall, but that's, that's how he's past Marshall going up into the woods. Okay, well you still not fuckin' with Athens. You are in Dallas, you're in. I am from Athens. No, but you are in Dallas. Athens, you sneezing, you're in Dallas. No. It's not that far. I mean, it's not that far, it's not that far, but it is so different from. Is it an hour? It's an hour and 10 minutes. No! You can get there. I like how she said an 10 minutes. You could get there in an hour. No, I definitely, I love the fact, man. A lot of those people embrace you. I had, I gave a couple of calls out and they was like, ask them about these pictures. That's why they love, you know, they love you. Not only them, Dallas embrace you. Dallas took you and they, nobody's not trying to let go of tape money. So that's a good thing to be, you know, where everybody love you, right? So like for me, I don't know if you've watched or showed, but for me personally, I like to find out about you as a person, not always the artist. I need to know where you from, well, we know you from Athens, but what was it like growing up in that country town? Cause when I listened to your interview, I'm like, you sound so country, but when you rap, you don't sound country. And that tripped me out totally. I wanna sound country. I love sounding country. Like it's something about like when you, I talking to somebody and they looking at me and they like, say it again. I'm like, okay. But I wanna be, you know, like that's where I'm from. And I think that some people are like, hey, like I've been, I've heard and I've seen in the comments where they be like, hey, you don't, you don't rap like you sound. It's like, yeah, I do. You just gotta take me there. Don't cross that line though. That's when that comes out of me. It's like, you know, we all got that like, what's the ego inside? And don't play with her, please. But I literally love Athens where I came up from. And I, oh my God, I was supposed, I never had my phone on loud. Somebody turn it off. Why? It wouldn't have been like that as Britney Spears. I'm so sorry. Turn it off. So I had the Columbus shorty come on our show and said him and Britney was cool. I ain't gonna go there, but yeah. It's never my phone. I literally just was like, check the boy in the orange. It's your phone. But I literally, you know, I came up where I think some people don't understand it is country and it's hood at the same time. Okay. It's a little bit of both. I grew up on the countryside and then I like, honestly, if we be honest, I fell in love with the hood. Oh, okay. And then they just joined in me. So there's like a lot of dirt roads. When I see country, when he take me down to the country cause I'm a city girl, I'm from Kingston, Jamaica. So that's totally city. So don't even, don't do that, don't do that. We just moved to Jamaica. Oh, really? Did you love it? I loved it. But you didn't go to Kingston though, I bet you. No, they can't hang in the Z. Yeah, that's most tourists go to Montego Bay, Autreas, Nicaragua, but the city's totally different. As we were driving, they were like, Kingston's that way, Kingston's that way. Don't play. Yeah. State in Montego Bay. From Montego Bay, it's about two-hour drive. Yeah, state where you supposed to be tourists, they treat us bad. Shout out to the boy who tried to overcharge me at the barber shop because I speak American. You know, these cats, yeah, they, but I love Jamaica. I loved it. I loved it. So we will, we'll be. When you going back? As soon as I get a break, come on, just go. I just went. So it's like, I feel really guilty if I go on too many like little trips at a time. Like I got to grind and grind. After I'm working hard, I'm like, girl, you better, you deserve it. You deserve it, you deserve it. So, okay, so how old were you when you moved to Dallas? When I moved to Dallas, I want to say I was around 22 years old. 22. And when you were in Athens, you were raised with your mom and dad, right? And tell me a lesson that you learned from your father at a young age that stuck with you during life that helped you through your grown-up ages. He, I don't know if it was like really a lesson, but he was just like really, really funny. And like, I just loved it. And so I wanted to be funny and I do think I'm funny. And I got that side of him. But also one thing is like, he makes you understand the value of a dollar. He definitely made me understand that. Like we were a very comfortable family, but like nothing was ours, it was his. That was his, you know what I'm saying? And we had to go get ours. And now take money, that got mine. So, when people say a value of a dollar, the only thing I can think about, so the first time when you got your first big, big check, didn't you go blow it like everybody else did? No, I was scared to death. Really? I loved it for a very long time. Yeah, yeah, my very first, first big check. Right. Okay, so just, I started doing hair is what I started doing. And I actually made really good money because it was such a small town and I think that was good at it and the clientele was, it's word of mouth. Country towns are very supportive of each other. That's one thing I know cause I remember living in Tarrell, Texas at one time. And I know that. Yup, that's where I found it. And I know that everybody know everybody. And when you have a business, they make it a point of duty to come to your business to support you. And they'll spread the word like it ain't nothing else. And it was, it took me about six months to build clientele. And I was like very discouraged in that time. But when it came, it came. It came. It came. And I was like, low-key balling. Oh, okay. And then I moved to Dallas and I didn't have the clientele. Because Dallas, there's so many hairdressers and there's so many big places. And it's, I'm like, oh my gosh, I have to go work for a chain after where I was individually booth rental. But if you were low-key balling down there, like why even come to Dallas? I just think that, like- Was it the music? No, because I didn't even know in there, I didn't know. Yeah, well, what you doing up here? I just, I mean, I know I was getting into a little bit of a trouble, but not bad. Oh, so that's why you left from down there? I was just hanging out with- Wrong crowd. I wouldn't say the wrong crowd, it's just that our lives were different. You know, when you grow up together, when this is just being as honest as I can, when you grow up together, it doesn't matter. But when you get older, it does matter like what people are doing. Like, you know what I'm saying? When we're kids and like in high school, it doesn't matter what someone's job is. And when we're a little bit older, it doesn't matter. But when we're grown, like when I'm getting mine and I'm establishing a life for myself, it does matter what you do. Okay. It makes sense. And the reason why I always ask a lot of certain questions is because nowadays everybody's stuck on their phones on YouTube watching videos. And kids, adults, everybody, and people are going through different situations and not sure how to handle it. So if you can speak through these cameras to someone and educate them on how to handle a certain situation, that's the reason why I like to ask certain questions because I really believe that God works in mysterious ways and whoever's supposed to see it will see it. 100%. You know what I mean? He always brings it to you. He's always answering you without him himself. Like, he sends things to me and like, you've gotta be the one listening. You gotta hear it and take it for what it is. So with that situation that you were talking about, if I'm getting it correctly, some people can even look at it and be like, well, you switched up, you know? Because some people feel that way, although they might not know the full story, they're like, oh, she acted like such and such, because you're distancing yourself from certain people, but you know that it's in your best interest. For so long I feel like I poured into everybody else and I still do pour into a lot of people, but it's time to pour into me because it's like, I always think about other people and seeing, I always just think of other people and it's like, well, who's gonna take care of me? And then I'm like, wait, I need to stop looking for someone to take care of me and take care of me myself. And then that's when I realized I could be the breadwinner, I could be the go-getter. Like, you know, they're always like, find you a rich man and who's who. I was looking, I was looking, I was like, I need a rich man, I need a rich man. That's like, and I've heard someone be like, I am the rich man, you know what I'm saying? Like, doesn't that feel good and I don't have to worry? Like to know you have it because you can do it. But if we're being completely honest, I just always, I don't know how to explain it, I just always felt special, like almost like chosen, but I didn't know what for or I didn't know why. And like today I don't know why, but like, I'm definitely, I feel chosen. Like I feel special, it just radiates. And I can see people, you know, they gravitate towards it. And I love that feeling, if we're being honest. And everybody's special in their own ways, just that people, as you get older, you realize what your gift is. Because not everybody's blessed enough as kids to know. Some kids do know what their gift is at a young age and they grasp it and run with it. But as they get older, you know, a lot of people realize as you get older and develop what your gift in life is and God open your eyes to that. And you're able to use that to help others. Let me ask you something, let me get in here cause y'all are taking over the interview. I'm just really excited. You know, it's really, really psychologically, you know, basically challenging me to get involved. That's conversation. So when did you start to love the music? You know, like, like, you know, everybody, I hear you on here talking about Big Tug. She actually called Big Tug. I was asleep. She called him, trying to get him up here to see you on the day you didn't show up. But I was like, I'm glad he didn't come. You know what I'm saying? But at the end of the day, I think, you know, the music roots, how do a little country let me see how to say this in a good way. You know? I know. How do a country girl though, like, like white country girl out of Athens, Texas say, I'm gonna come down. I'm a bane screw. I'm gonna, yeah, use this earring. Yeah. The earring. She's like, yeah, hold on. Yeah, like, I don't know if somebody about 20, it just feels good to me. It honestly came from, I think, this guy I was dating and it was like his music choice. And like, I was always riding around and listening to music with him. And it was what he was playing, but for some reason it just resonated with you. It was so, like, I love it. Like, that's my music. That's my choice of music. And sometimes when I'm in other states and I'm on the aux, I'm like, on clean down. Okay, what's your favorite big tuck song? I mean, and how did you sing it when you thought you was getting it in? Yeah. You gonna let me sing it? Yeah, right now. I'm gonna sing it with you. This is what I do. So, obviously not a stain on me. Oh. And I actually made a song to it. Did you? Yes. Hey, money, my name hold money. And then how won't come, it ain't show money. Money. Man. And he got this one called Bottom Bitch and he's singing. Yeah, yeah, yeah. My bottom bitch. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I don't really know what a bottom bitch is to me. Really? I have to get Pimpy Ken on here. He can pretty much help educate you on that. He'd be on here a lot. You're bad. I don't know about that. You might not want to know what a bottom bitch is. I don't know. I love the song. Somebody asked me like, you know, I'm like, I don't know. No, you still, you could be a renegade though. You might not even want to be in that whole situation. You know what I'm saying? Yeah, I don't know. But so, being a beautiful female and just coming into this whole rap, you know, this whole situation, I mean how, I know people didn't take you serious, you know, you little, you come in, look at your crew. I'm looking at your crew, how y'all kicking it, you know what I'm saying? And bam, you know, it's like, dang, you pop in unexpectedly. You beautiful, but unexpectedly. You like, dang, what is it? Is she tall? You know, I'm thinking of Iggy or somebody, you know what I'm saying? What we getting here? Well, what are you getting here? You tell me. No, you don't, man. I mean, you from East Texas, so you can't lose with me anyway. I will argue with about anything to go with you. You don't even understand. You already good. I think that a lot of people, sometimes I can tell when I walk on stage that they already have their mind made up. Really? They don't like it. What? And then when I come on stage and sometimes, this is just sometimes I can see people and they're like, what the fuck, who the fuck? Yeah, what the fuck, who the fuck? Like that's how I feel, I live for that almost. I live for a eat this shit moment. Like, you know what I'm saying? Like that makes me feel good. I think that's why I started music was to just rub me and people's faces for why not? It just feels good, but... An expression changes by the time you're done. Yeah, it does. At least they know. They've heard it. And next time they say, oh, that's that girl. And I always tell them, don't be telling them in a couple of years. I seen her at, cause shut the fuck up. Okay, okay. That's hard, man. I mean, you, like I said, you definitely, you came into this game, man. You got assignments, you got different things that you doing, the numbers are scaled. How do you look at the first portion of tape money versus today's tape money? Like five years ago, boom, now. Five years ago, I didn't think that this was possible. I was doing it because I really liked it and I really enjoyed it. I still really like it and I still really enjoy it. But to know you can get paid for it makes it a little bit different. And like, you're like, I need it now. Let's go like, let's get in the studio. Like, you know what I'm saying? And I still was doing that, like rushing to the studio when I got off work to make music. But the difference is so much. I wish I could have started out like I am right now. It would have been over by now. But how did you get into the game? That's what I wanted to know. Who did you approach? Because there's a lot of young females out there trying to get into the games, trying to give their stream to somebody. Try to talk to anybody they can to help them get that leg up. Who helped you? There was this guy, he actually passed away and his name was Spencer and he went by Uncle Skid. And I knew that he was a songwriter. And I called him and I was like, hey, can you take me to a studio? Because I was like very shy. Like I would rap in my car like very good. Like very good. If I were to try to record it, even with myself, it just wasn't the same. Then I wouldn't do it in front of anybody else. But I called him and asked him to take me to the studio to help me write a song. Cause I just felt like what I wanted to say was corny. And I think that's a lesson to tell these girls is like, don't think that what you have to say isn't cool enough. Like you think rapper and you think boy and you think, and sometimes I find myself like, hey, I want to sound like a boy. But it's like, no, I just want to sound like me. I want to say what I want to say because that's what makes it cool. When I say about like Texas, like a sweet tea line, I like that. And I think other people like that too because those are the ones they recite back to me. The ones that are so authentic. So I think don't second guess what you want to say. Anyways, I called him and I asked him to take me to the studio and he did. And he helped me make a couple of songs and he eventually passed away. And so RIP, but without him, I don't think that I will be sitting right here. That's awesome. So after that, then how did you get signed or how did you get the next step up? So basically what he was talking about earlier, he was like, when you walk in and it's unexpected, I know it's unexpected. And sometimes it's like not welcomed, you know what I'm saying? And so I was like, I need them to see me and hear me. So I was like, I need a videographer and I was doing hair and I was doing the videographer's hair and he was trying to pay me. And I said, just shoot me a video. He said a video for what? I said, I've been rapping. And he's like, what do you mean? I posted two videos with him. On my third video, Atlantic Records reached out through a mutual friend. And then I was like, what do you mean Atlantic Records? I'm telling my mama. She's like, please don't quit your job. Please don't quit your job. And I'm like, oh my God, this could be a thing. And then that's really when shit just like was like, this could be a thing. This is a thing. So they threw you up and you signed with them? No, they didn't. They kept in contact with me for a very long time. I just kept making music. I kept making music. Before you know it, Sean Cotton asked me to meet with him. We met. We talked. And he said, he wanted to give me 90 days to sign you. Oh, so he heard you on the radio and he wanted to. I paid Seiji's TV to post my video. OK, so that's how he signed. I needed them to see me, so I paid Seiji's TV to post. That's what everybody do now. They try, but I don't know if it worked like it used to. You think it did? If you the one, it worked. Because I was at work and I had my phone in my apron. And I could feel it going off. I could feel it and they posted it while I was at work. And that night, Sean said, we need to talk. Wow. That night. You know, let me ask you, you got to dig deeper than that. You got to dig deeper than that. Rain say. Rain say what? Rain say, he wanted to manage. He did. He said, but. I'm going to tell you the funny shit. This is a story. Listen, he said, he said, he said, he said, there was two gangsters. He said, messed up everything. Like they had guns and everything in there. And she couldn't help it. That's not what he was. That's what he thinks. That's what he thinks. She don't scare me. I said, I moved from Athens, so I was getting in trouble. Them guns don't scare me. I'm just going to tell you, he's like, we was two gangsters, man. She didn't, she was going to say what up. Listen, I love rain. But he love you, yeah. I love rain. Like if anybody say anything bad about rain about me, it's a problem, bro. Like I'm stepping. That's real. I know that. I already knew that. So this is funny. I met with rain. He said, I got somebody that want to interview you. I say, OK, I went down and he said, they asked me a question. Who do you think fucking with you in the DFW? And I was like, you know, I'm just working on me. And I'm not really, he said, pause, pause, pause. Say, nobody fucking with me. He's like really wanted me to be like, like, you know what I'm saying, like real crazy. He's like, you got to make them come for you. And we tried it. We tried it. I said, Ryan, this looks like a bad episode of Maury. But it's so sweet this shit. So he was like, you write. You write. We deleted the shit. He's so funny, though. Yeah. He just, like I said, I call us a man. What's so tape money, man? Because he's the one gave me your manager's number and everything because he comes over and does interviews. And it's like, man, I need to get on the show. He's like, oh, she'll come. Call him. Yeah, this is Taylor. He my manager. Yeah, he's like, call him. He gave him the number and everything. And I started linking with him. So I just appreciate you guys. But, you know, I'm going to talk about dunk a little bit because you know, you eating chicken in front of Rudy. Shout out to Spain, man. I'm coming to get my chicken. I like our little seasoning. It's just so good. It's so good. Is that your number one chicken in Dallas? Yeah, ain't nobody playing with, listen. You know what? You got a lot of people that say, Rudy's ain't the best chicken. But I would like to see where, like how. Like, what do you mean? Like, the chicken is so moist. The seasoning is so good and the sauce is so. We had a big thing with CeCe. She came on here. She's from Chicago. And she was like, Harold's chicken is the best chicken ever. Well, CeCe, have you ever had Harold's chicken? I'm sorry to Harold. Harold's is not better than no Rudy's. You think so? I'm from Chicago. So you think Harold's better? There he goes. I'm not going to do this, bro. Listen, and guess what? They got a Harold's here now. So go over there and check it out. Just get both of the bags. And if you like any of the planning. Check out the chicken. You need to go to Big Boy's Chicken and Waffles and Mesquite. I heard you mention that. I said I was going to take him over there. They go on. We're going to go over there. Look, it is a warm man. We've been setting up more than where we're going to go next. It's really Big Boy back there cooking. And he is the most humble, best human being I've ever met. It's in a gas station. It is. That's hard. I like it. And it is good as fuck. No, it's good as fuck. You hungry now, dude? It's better than Rudy's? Is it better than Rudy's? I cannot answer that question right now. I will tell you this. One day, I called Big Boy's and it said it was open. It was on a Sunday. And I called up there and I called up there and he said, hello, I said, hey, I just want to make sure y'all. Oh, wait, I'm sorry. It said clothes on Google Maps. I called up there just to see. He answered and he said, no, but I'll meet you there in 40 minutes. And he met me up there and cooked me four plates. Wow, that's hard. That's hard. You know, the food in Dallas, shout out to Dallas and all the cooks and everybody. Y'all can bring me a plate over here, a shot of KLC with Master P Nail. Y'all will probably bring me some food over here. I always get my plugs in while I'm gone. Period, let me get a plug in. So like you got a song, this new song that you eat and it's chicken right here in front of Rudy's. What, I mean, I know what it's talking about, you know. Yeah, I mean, yeah, I see it. The girls is, yeah, the shorts, you know, yeah, it's going down. So let's talk about it a little bit. What was the process like for doing the video, you know, just putting it all together? OK, so the director is Dan Staley and he was the videographer that I very first started with. OK, that's hard. We just have a bond. Like it just works. It looks great. And I said, hey, I want it to be as Dallas as possible. I want it to be as Texas as possible. And I love Rudy's. I said, I want the Rudy's. I knew I met these guys at the Dallas dub car show and I keep in touch with them. They called the Swift Car Club. They have branches all over the place, but they have one in Dallas. And I called them, I said, I need a car. They pulled up and they gave me a car and just let me use it. And they like, it's so nice. Like just like, I'm like, how much you want for it? Like, don't worry about it. Like, of course, like I need to tip you, you know what I'm saying? But like, it's just nice because like people see me doing my thing. They be like, oh, oh, it's a thousand. You know what I'm saying? You know what I'm saying? Like, I know what you're saying. Take money, got money, but I need to keep my money. But it showed a love, though. It showed a love that they have for you. It's just real. Like, I love real genuine people because I'm like that. Like, I'll take a loss because I don't want to just give to you or see you work. It feels good to give. Yeah, but that song, let's get back to that song. It do feel good to give. And then went all the way off. I'm trying to get this meat out of here about dunk. I want to know, you know, the music is slamming. Who produced it? And did you do digital university? All right, let's get it. Don't, yeah. Tonight at Bottle Blonde Dallas, come by if you want to. Don't, she got a don't. Real life, no captain is wrapped. She got a don't. I've seen it when you walked in. I've seen it. Period. Hey, I've seen it. I mean, so when you like, like, when you think about like these songs and the way the movement is today, do you feel like, what are we going to do this year? Man, we're going to cause a lot of people lied to me last year. I was hurt. There was a lot of people sitting in that very seat and we made me some promises. You know what I'm saying? But this year, I'm, I'm trying to break. I'm trying to make a record. A few of them. That's what I'm talking about. I need to, I need to break out of. I don't want you to say I'm a rapper. I need you to be like, take money. Duh. That's it. You know what I'm saying? Because I'm going to give you the balance that you need. My next record, hoping, pretty sure it's going to be my country record, but it's like country rap. I was wondering if you're going to ever go in this country. There ain't no country girl rapper and I'm here. Get out of my lane. Stay out of my lane. When is it coming out? Well, I'm about to submit it. So it'll probably take like two to three weeks. But you know, fucking with people add on extra week after that, you know what I'm saying? Okay, that should sound like a, um, but that's going to be the next one. The video was already shot. Same director, Dan Staley. Like I'm in my bag. So I would tell you that I could promise you consistency because at this point I'm digging into my own pockets to make this shit happen. I am signed to a label and no disrespect to them, but I can't wait on nobody. So that's my promise to Dallas. Motherfucking Texas, Atlanta three. Stop playing. This is queen. I gotta ask you about the asthma problem with Flo Milley, my daughter. She's 17. Oh my God, she loves that. And that's the only thing she want to talk about. I want to tell you I ain't going up there but you can ask about Flo Milley. Okay, period. You know, she fly. Yes. They don't go to school tomorrow, but anyway, just give me a little spill on how did you guys even link? What made you go with even doing a collab with her? You know, just give me something on that. Okay, so I needed a collab. You know, women empowerment is very important right now. The female game is going crazy. We just can't be fucked with. And I think that also at the same time, it's hard for girls to show other girls love because you always want to be the baddest. Like why would I give her some of my shine? But it's at that point where like we only have each other. You can shine together. You know what I'm saying? Let's shine together. We'll be bright, bright, you know? Flo Milley, she was on the up and come and I reached out to do a song. She reached out to do a song with me before she really popped. It was about the same time that she popped. And I just, when you pop, you're not worried about nothing else. Like we being honest, you know what I'm saying? And I'm not saying that a bad way I'm saying, she busy because I'm very busy. You add more on to that. I can't get back to certain people, you know what I'm saying? So I made sure I could get her a record that was worth getting on, you know what I'm saying? That was gonna break, that was trending that I could show and TikTok really carried it. We was able to get her on it and shoot the video, female empowerment. Boom, baby. Awesome. Wow. And like I said, very impressed with it. You've done so good of a job by holding us down, I say, when it was empty for me in the city. Thank you. Y'all don't wanna hear the truth. You know, I'd go to church in here on y'all when it was empty, right after Mo3 passed away. To be honest with you, I just felt emptiness. Just I'm still, I'll be looking for hits from different dudes, the gangsters, the ones. But like I say, Tay Money is the name that everybody loved to say when they talk about music that's relevant in the Dallas market, you know what I mean? They love to make lists in Dallas without taking money on the list. Oh, wait a minute, wait a minute, who the hell making a list? You know what, every time when you see those lists you get mad. That's because I'm global, so. I ain't even know they be making lists but at the end of the day, I mean I do know they be making them but I'm, I mean, what list girl? You know what I'm saying? Like I don't know. I'm not stressing on no list, but I'm saying. I love this list thing though. What you saying? This is my list. I love the list. You left the YouTube, but damn, she is into her. Y'all tell you women is a trip, man. Hey. Y'all beautiful. And the biggest one is me. Y'all look good, you look good. Period, I was just letting you know because you saying, you know, Tay Money is the name they love to say. They love it. Make sure they put it on their motherfucking list. I think you, I think, I'm gonna be honest with you. I told somebody this, I was so serious. I'm like, man, you couldn't, I told Reina, I was like, you couldn't gave me no Tay Money. Shit, everything you need and an artist to blow pop everything. I'm a bloat of choice. That's the way, that's right. But, but I don't think, I think a lot of times, you know, people got to, you just got to keep working. Listen, I'm gonna tell you everything is God's time. I'm not worried. I'm not worried. I'm not in a rush because I don't want it to come and go. That's right. You want to come and stay. I want to enjoy every moment. Now that's very hard for me to do because you get a piece and you like, ooh, this feel good. I need more, I need more. Impatient and you're anxious. But I'm learning that the most important thing is the journey. This is gonna be, this is a good ass story. I'm saving all my footage for Netflix, period. Yeah. Middle fingers. What's up with that song? Middle fingers. With Lil Earl, with Lil Ronnie. It came out of digital conversion. With Huncho, yeah. Yeah. What's up with that song? That was one recently done too, right? Yes. It came out on my album, Girls Gone Duh. I actually stole it from them. I walked into the studio and I heard it and I was like, yeah, y'all got to come up for it. And I'll give you a song. So I song swapped. That's it. Now that we got it, anyway, we put it on the album and then we had to shoot a video for it. It's just so Dallas. It just sounds so good. When you hear it in the club, it's like, fuck them all. And you'd be pointing, oh, what a hanger. I'm curious about something, cause you always mentioned Dallas a lot in your songs and everything. Do you mention, do you rap Athens a lot in your music? It's in some of them. Like, where are you from, bitch, Athens? It's in some of them. The reason being is because when I started music, it was in Dallas. There's only about four people that I knew that rapped in Athens and there's not a music scene at all. I didn't, that's why I didn't know that it was a possibility, not country, not rap, not hip hop, like, I mean, that's the same thing. You know what I'm saying? There's no genre, there's no studio in Athens. I think that's just what I'll do about the studio in Athens. Yeah, you should definitely. I think I'll do that. But the reason why I said that, because when I think about like, small town, I think about like, Jamie Foxx, and Jamie Foxx always mentioned Tarot Texas all the time and everything he does. So that's the reason why I asked. I definitely talk about it. I definitely say it. How bad would you say it? But some people don't know where it is. So they be like, what's the next biggest town? And then even though it's Tyler, I say Dallas. Okay. Just so you know where I'm from. So you know. Because it's only an hour away. An hour and 10 minutes. And 10 minutes. And 10 measly minutes. You know what I'm saying? So, yeah. So I'm gonna go somewhere else. When you look at Megan Stallion, she came out of Houston. And the stuff that she just went through, man, being a woman in this whole industry and getting the respect that you deserve, how hard is it working in these studios and trying to figure it out? You probably got it down pat because it's been five years, four or five years, but just coming into the game. How did you maneuver? It's very hard because as a girl and as a beautiful girl, because that's what I am. Beautiful. Like they don't want to make music with you. And so I think that sometimes I miss out on opportunities because I feel like you get messages from people and you ignore it because it's like, you know what I'm saying? You don't know what they want, but I want my respect so you're not gonna play with me. I'd rather not entertain it. I'd rather be unattainable, untouchable. As far as Megan Stallion, I feel like everybody owes her an apology. I feel like it's a very sad story. And I feel that it goes to show that nothing you read, like nothing you see is like real. You know what I'm saying? They love to bring people down. When did people make hate cool? When did people make negativity cool? They thrive on seeing people fall. Like they wanted her to be wrong for so long and she wasn't. We all know who was. You know what I'm saying? And I've actually been invited to parties where he may be and I will not gut. Like it'll be their party, cause he's always in Miami and sometimes I'm there and they'd be like, do what I'm like, I don't want to fucking go there. You know what I'm saying? Like why? Like it's just gross. And it's like, well, who's going to put their foot down and be like, this is wrong. Especially as men in the entertainment, who's going to put their foot down and check whoever? Because you're talking about money, like money talks like, okay, we'll then talk. Cause y'all got it, right? I don't know who's going to talk. Wow. How many labels are ran by females? I have no idea. I don't know because I feel like if there was one, we would all know which one it was. Right. That's what I'm wondering. Well, you know, it ain't our fault that y'all don't want to create a label. I'm going to go in for the men, just do what y'all got to do. I'm not for the play with y'all. Don't get on here and try to be yours. It will be too long. No, listen, I'll be going there, you're like, okay. But I'm going to be real, man. Like, yeah, I'm expecting a lot of big collabs and everything. Like who would you like to work with if you could pick anybody in this world? Anybody. Anybody. Just one. Just one. Anybody. Oh, I'm going to be a bunny. Let's go buy a bunny. She's dope. Yes. And then... Ain't nobody to say too. But go ahead. No, I want a song and a video with YG. That's all right. That would be hard. Because this one time, I don't know what I was watching. It was some award show or something and there were performances going and he was one of them. And it was the best performance out of all of them. Really? He was just good. He was good. He was cool. He was going in. And that's what you really want. You know what I'm saying? Like, you, like I said, you basically do your thing. I'm going to be definitely... I got to come a lot to perform though. You know, I've seen it on the video. I want to see it for real. I want to see if you really get out. You got to go to Tay Day. Being... Yeah, you do got to Tay Day. I heard him talking about it. When is it? How you just going to get a day like that? That's my birthday. How do y'all pull it out? That's my birthday. Yeah, that's for your birthday. Oh, I'm so... She ain't none of that. No, no, no. I'm your day. All that birthday, she's July. Let's just keep it on moving. So is he. And so am I. You know what I'm saying? Yeah, I'm your best friend now. Okay. No, we by two or three days apart. Three days apart. Yeah, and we'll be in Jamaica. Lord say the same. Oh, well, I'm going with y'all. Okay. But now you, like I said, I'm not going to play with you because I'm really expecting the big things that I feel like your career, really, I don't know what happened. I don't know if I don't know what that deal looked like up front. I don't know what, because people get bad deals. I'm not going to play with you. I know already, sometimes people get bad deals. Nelly say he lost $75,000 million dollars. I think he will lie. Nelly. Nelly. You say a lot of coming into the game, like you lose money. A lot of times you can't even scope the money because you learn it. Like, how was it for you? You know, you, this is how you feel. When someone presents you with a deal, you're like, I don't have nothing. I want whatever you're going to give me. At the same time, you like, if I pass on this will one ever come again. You know what I'm saying? And you don't know, but you will know if it's the right moment for you. You will know, because it either feels good or it feels scary. And I do feel that, you know, I've heard of some stories where people have signed for very little money. And I'm literally like, what's the point? No, no, I've seen it. Why? It's very sad. It's very sad. But you got to, I don't know what to do. I mean, I don't know what to tell them. I don't know what to do. I've seen it. So you've never been through a bad deal before? I, I, okay. That's been real. I'm going to be very honest with you. I think that the whole music industry is fucked up. But there's, but my deal is the best fucked up you're going to get. Okay. You get what I'm saying? I got you. But, but I don't say that to be rude. Like I'm very happy with where I'm at. I'm an upstreaming artist. So I have joined, you know, Inna Scope. That's my major. And I would like, you know, more money. Like, let's go keep going. Like, but I have options to exercise and there's room for me to grow. I did not take a bag deal. Okay. That's good. I met with a lot of people. I met with a lot of people and I did not like any of them felt until I met with the very last people. And I said, there's only one thing left to do. You have to fly to Texas and see my mama. And the next day we were on a plane. My mama, we was out to eat. Kid, dot, one, two, dot, one, two, three. So you're still signed with Sean Cotton as well too? No, no, I'm not signed with, no, I'm not signed with Sean Cotton. Okay. Cause I remember when you go back to what you were saying earlier on, you said that. Yeah, you talking about let's get into it. So you didn't sign with him that time? What we did was he said, I have 90 days to sign you. And he took me and we flew to New York one day. I woke up at 630 and I flew to New York and I met with like six labels. And by that time that night, because I was very dedicated to my job, I was back in my bed. I didn't stay the night in New York. The next day I had work. And I met with all those people and I was so sad when I came back because I thought I was gonna walk into a room and someone was gonna say, I love you. I gotta have you. Here's a million fucking dollars. That's why I thought I was gonna walk into. That's how it just felt for me. That's how it still feels for me. And I walked in there and they didn't care if I was in that room or not. None of them did. One of them did put a paper work in front of me and it was very full-gazing. And my mom said, there's only one thing you can't do. You can't sign nothing when you go. They'll say, okay. I came back. My mom's like, how is it? Tell me everything. I'm like, man, it's okay. And then Sean calls me the next day I'm at work going to Miami this weekend. Okay, I was like, ah, ah, ah. But he's like, we're going. We went, I'm at the people. I absolutely loved them. Wow. I absolutely loved them. I asked them to meet my mother. They came and they met her. They treat us wonderful to this day. That's all right. So T. Jones the other night, I woke up and I seen some warrants floating toward a section with a big sign. Was this a real thing, you know, like did somebody send you some warrants? Was it T. Jones? What the hell's going on? He's giving me a narrowse. What? 9-0-3 in his bed. Hey! That's hard. Like, so does, yeah, and you was born in Tyler. So it kind of makes sense, you know that? Yes, I was born in Tyler and I wasn't expecting it. He sent it and then he came over and he talked to me and he was like, I want to give you your flowers. Like, I want to show you some love. Like, I know how hard it is out here. And like, it was just very respectful because I can tell you, I've been rapping for five years and nobody's done that yet. Really? Yeah. Well, he's a good dude. Yeah, he's been on here. We went and actually checked him out. I'd be giving him hell, I'd give everybody hell. So when I call you, it's the different world when I call. I call, it's like, what? That boy crazy, you know how to do them. But at any rate, just love the fact that you guys are figuring it out. You know, the connections are very serious. Like, the unity is real. So you gotta, we gotta unify. And he mentioned working together and I said, this is all you needed to do is listen to me the song. That's as simple as it is. That's hard. Yeah, it's because the love is there. Like, that's what I'm saying. If more people will be like that, you could get farther in life. You look out for me, I'm gonna look out for you. Man. That's how it's supposed to be. I get it. So, I mean, you know, I don't know how far this goes back, but I went back and researched you. Cold Bennett, yeah, let's talk about that. You're crazy. Yeah, no, no, I'll be, I'm working over here. Okay. I'm a real, I'm one of you gurus. Everybody know I'm the best. They don't know what they're gonna feel me today. Yeah. So, give me the spiel on just, you know, is it long lasting or what's going on over there? Long lasting. Yeah, like you, what's up with cold? Oh, well, we don't. Yeah, y'all broke up, right? Yeah. What happened? That was about to say. I know what I'm saying. I know what I'm saying. You can do it. Unless she wants it back. I guess y'all want some click bait. Yeah. Okay. I had to get that in because I was like, you know what? I don't know if they broke up. No, because I'm not in a business, but I'm sure I'm gonna ask if she come on balls talk. You know, sometimes I broke up with a girl before you 20 years before, listen, let me go back. And yeah, I end up, you know. Going back? Yeah, every 90. And you know, you don't just, it's hard to get over people. You know what I'm saying? I'm gonna tell you like. Love is serious. It was a long distance relationship and you know how hard those are. Not working the way how you do. Oh, you don't know. No, when you love somebody, love is love just breaks through all of that. I get that, I get that. But when you are as busy and as, and you know, it breaks through, it breaks, okay, okay? No, you know, we don't have any bad blood at all. You still friends? We're very friends, but like we don't talk. Oh, that's what I was gonna say. Don't give me that frequency communication as the key. I've seen him, he was very gentleman. You know what I'm saying? That's all. He was very much a gentleman. I didn't want to see him. You know what I'm saying? You know, that's just me being real. You talking about transparent, baby. That's all I want, I like it. So who's the new booing in here? That's what I was about to say. You single? Yes. Is that how she said that? She lying, step up, you think she lying? No, that's because. She ain't single, is she? Y'all making me, y'all making me nervous. I'm really sure they don't. I am single. You need to stay up out of my love life, sir. Look here, man, I mean, the people want to know. Okay, no, because one thing I've always said, you know, you're doing the right thing. Because I say, being a celebrity, you want to keep your private life private because social media, the media, everybody, it's not nice. It's not. Like I said, they love to see, to bring people down. Right, I love to see. Well, I love to love the little people up too. Public, you are a public figure and people are going to ask you about your relationship. They're going to love on you. They're going to take you. You are ours. You came out here, you signed up for it. I signed it, literally. So, and that's the funny thing. Yeah, but you know, that's the funny thing that people don't understand. A lot of people look at, you know, celebrity, I want to be that person, I want to be that person, not realizing all the things that comes with that. Yes, you have the light, you have the money, you have all of that, but your privacy goes. That is the worst part. You know what I mean? It is, it is. I don't want to share much of anything with them. Like I'm gonna be honest with you, like I learned my lesson on sharing because I feel like the more you share, you know. Because, but in no matter what you do though, you're gonna have those people, no matter what you say, you're gonna have those people, the trolls who are gonna always, you could say something innocently and they're gonna take that and turn it and twist it into something totally different. So no matter what you're not gonna get away from that. Of course, I know. Regardless. You just, I just think my skin has grown thicker. It has to be. And I'm very careful. I mean, I used to post every, every move, every move that I made and I'm very selective. Top three artists of all time that are alive, any genre. That's hard. Big tuck. Okay, that's your number one. Number two. Nicki Minaj. Okay, number three. And people I listen to were like the artists as themselves. Anybody of all time is any artist of all time that are alive, any genre. So it's not, it doesn't have to be rap. I like Elvis. Damn right. That's okay. I was mixed on that because some people don't like Elvis but I fucking love Elvis. Did you watch his last movie? I did and it's fucking good. It's fucking good. It showed things that I've never seen before in any other Elvis movie and I loved it for that main fact. Wow. Thank you for coming on the show. Damn, bye. We love you. I got to say that because, and make sure you keep God first no matter what. I don't care what you're doing. I don't care where you're going. And if you make sure you stay tapped in the boss talking, you can call me, I'll pull up. I will fly up. I'm that guy. I will come see you. And I will be aggressively making sure you good. But you just got to remember me. Of course. I had a question. What? Because something I'd heard. I don't know, I don't remember where I heard this from. And something about you being signed to World Star? No. Okay, that's why you just put that to rest. She said that like no. Yeah, I just wanted you to put that to rest. Damn. No. Because that's something I heard I don't think so. I think they'll be posting my videos. Exactly, because they post mine. They post yours. Well, tell them call me if they want to add on. Say, man, let me get out of here, man. I got to get this young lady out of here, man. Thank you for coming on Boss Talk 101. What a boss is taught. It's been another great segment of Boss Talk 101. And we out.
