You're trying to get shady, huh? What do you mean? I mean, it could be anybody. You're trying to get shady. I'm really not. Like, people be overhyped. To me, people be overhyped to play board card. Like, you see how they be while at the concerts. I feel like I don't feel like that. I see what you mean. You know what I'm saying? I mean, it's a lot of artists like that, but at the end of the day, everybody got their own opinion. You feel me? And I don't want my opinion to take me the wrong way. So we might spend that. Okay. All right. Okay. What's the artist you listen to for motivation? For motivation? Mm-hmm. Honestly, I've been listening to all the girls lately. Like, all the girls right now is killing it. Icepice, Lola, Lotto, Cardi. Like, all the girls, they just come in. So they motivate me because, you know, we all girls, we come from nothing. Like, so, yeah. Is there a specific song you feel like or not? No, I don't got a specific song. It just depends on the dance. Honestly, it's mine. Okay. Like, my own songs. To motivate you? Yeah. Okay. What's one word you say in every song? Quack. That's your favorite, Alan. I like it. Yeah. Who do you feel like is underrated? Me. Okay. Okay. Yeah. Celebrity crush. Celebrity crush.

Wait for me up there. Come. Wow. Yeah. You wasn't expecting that, right? No. And last one. See, because you've been spending me. So I don't know why she was acting for me. I had to shoot, baby, shoot. Which rapper would you not let date your daughter if you had one? Oh. None of them. None of y'all. None of y'all. None of y'all. Like this clip. Okay. So tell us a little bit about how you got started into music. It was, it came to me. Like, I mean, since I was little, my dad always was in the church music and the church band. So I always go with him to like practice or hear him play the drums. And that's how the music came into me. But then as growing up, I just started freestyling just like that for fun to my friends, joking around, cutting ass on bitches or something. Straight, you know, shit like that. And it would rhyme and it would sound fire. And eventually I did a freestyle. I recorded it with my phone and I posted it. It was a freestyle me sitting in the car doing the act up remix city girls. Okay. I did my own version. English, by the way, or English. Okay. It went crazy on Instagram. Like they was jacking it. They was jacking it. And then a DJ called me to perform it. A freestyle. Like it was crazy. A DJ called me. It was crazy. Like they call me to perform it in the club. I'm like, what? Really? I don't even got a song out. Right. And yeah, that's what happened. That's what got me really into music. Okay. So from, so you posted freestyle in the car. Like how many days after did you get the call from the DJ? Probably like a week. Same week. Yeah. A couple of days. How did you finally go to the studio to lay down? Did you lay that song down officially? Or that was just. It was like a SoundCloud thing. Okay. Yeah. I did lay it down. I put it on SoundCloud, but that was about it. But yeah, I got into the studio officially like to lock in. Like a year ago. Okay. So it's been like a year so far. Yeah. Okay. So how has that been? Great. I love it. Okay. And yeah. Family supportive of it? Yes. Yes, they are. Yeah. Do they listen to you or you don't know? Oh yeah. Word for word. They know every song. Word for word. I'll be like that. That makes me like cringe. Like just seeing them watch my videos. Ah, at least don't watch it when I'm there. Let me leave first. And then you watch it. So you shy like you don't want to watch it with them or just because it's family. I'm just like that with everybody. Like you could say here, watch my videos. I'm like, oh my God. Like I'm a cringe a little bit. So you feel like you still like, I don't want to say shy, but maybe like, I don't know. Just a little bit. Because do people be stopping you with stuff? Yeah. Taking pictures and stuff. Yeah. So you kind of used to it. I'm getting used to it. Yeah. But especially with the family though. You could say that. Like if it's family. Yeah. Okay. And so you make Latin trap. I make English, Spanish, Chinese, Japan, whatever you want, baby. I make English and Spanish though. Okay. But in the Spanish is Latin trap though, right? Latin trap, then bow. So it's a little bit different. Different. They could throw in everything. Like I don't have a genre. So I can't answer that question. Okay. Not yet. I don't think there's going to be one. Oh, so you're just trying to paint your own. So if you had to describe your music, what would you say it is? It's G's Lee. I can't compare it. It's nobody I could sound like. It's nobody that inspired me to do it. Like to sound like that. You know what I'm saying? It's just weird. Okay. So you know how something would be like, oh, I have like car late night music or I got bad music. Like what do you, what's your vibes? You feel like. My vibes? You want me to be honest? Yeah. What's your vibes? I like to listen to music without words. So you like beat, melody. Tech house. A lot of tech music, techno, EDM. Stuff like that. Okay. Yeah. So you feel like you're mixing that with everything else? No, I'm not mixing. I'm not actually adding that. I'm just, that's just stuff that I listen to. Okay. To disconnect. Right. From what I usually, what's always around. Like the drill, the hip hop, the rap, the reggaeton, the dembow, like music like that with no words just like takes me far away. Okay. So it helps it creative. Very, very much. Yeah. That's different. I haven't heard that yet. Yeah. So, um, so someone never heard the music. What song would you tell them to listen to? Okay. The 42 song, the one you said. Okay. Cause you know, I'm in this song getting it. Yeah. But they said that my friend, my friend, she's in tune and she said the, I don't want to say his name wrong, but Rochi is a big artist. Yeah. He's one of the biggest. So how did y'all connect? Honestly. So the song was originally me by myself. I had two verses and all that. Like it was complete and I was going to drop it like that. But I was like, you know what? It's something missing here. Like I can't add something. And then I got two, two, two of the artists that's on it, which is TV guns and Yomel. They jumped on it. They hit me. They jumped on it. And then we shot the video. Okay. Just us three. We shot the video and the behind the scenes went viral. Like they recorded it and posted it the behind the scenes and they basically posted the whole song. Okay. Yeah. So Rochi ends up calling the other artists TV. They cool. Yeah. So he calls him like, yo, I want to get on the song. As long as fire. Right. So it was up from there. Okay. Yeah. Okay. Like it was God. So all organic. So I guess when me, because you travel a lot. Yeah. So are you meeting people like other states? Are you fucking me the last Spanish artist here? Or how are you connected with the Spanish artists? With the Spanish artists, I meet them a lot in DR Miami, Puerto Rico, stuff like that. So the 42 42 song. So is that can break it down for me a little bit. Is that a place? Is that a 40? Yeah. So it's a place. It's like a real, real underground, like the ghetto is sort of ghetto is, but it'd be lit, like lit all day all night. And this is in Puerto Rico? In the Dominican Republic. Yeah. Okay. So is it like, would you say that's like the Bronx or that's like our 42nd street? No, it's like the Bronx, but like, like the ghetto, the ghetto is Bronx. Like you see, you see how like how they do car meets, like in the nighttime, the weekends and they'll do my music. Yes. Like that. But three times, three times more ghetto. Okay. Yeah. Okay. All right. So are you going to, you shot the video with DR? In DR. Yeah. Okay. So how is it like going back and forth? I mean, it's fun. I like it because I have fun doing it. I don't see it as work. Like I enjoy it. So what's your favorite part? Shooting videos. You might want to cut that. Yeah. What's your favorite part? My favorite part is shooting videos and just creating. Like I like to create music. I like to record. I like to just, my favorite part honesty is when, when I record and everything and I hear it. Okay. It's like, wow, it's actually, it came together. Are you a perfectionist? Do you feel like spend a lot of time on songs or do you feel like you got to like sleep on it and go back to it later? Like what's your process? I spend a lot of time on it because I'm real picky with my sound. Very, very picky. So yeah, you could say I'm a perfectionist. Cause if, if I don't like it, if I have to do it 50 times, I'll do it 50 times, 51 times. Okay. All right. So what are you working on at the moment? Ooh, a lot of things. A lot of things like, whoo, English features, Spanish features, but crazy. Like things I would never expect. And that's just a blessing. I've seen you have ran into, um, and well. Yes. I did at his concert. He invited to his concert. He invited me and it was great. It was, it was, it was great. It was fun. I mean, I enjoyed it. Song on the way. She's fishing right now. She's fishing right now. Like maybe possibly. Most likely. Most likely. Okay. Cause he's super big. Yeah. He is. And he's great. Like he's one of my favorites. Landtrap. Like top, top two. Landtrap. Do you, um, do you really care? So you see how they have like hip hop billboards and they have Latin billboards. Do you have like a goal of like where you want to dominate or you kind of like happy with whichever way works? I'm happy with whatever. Honestly, like whatever gravitates, like, you know, I'm coming for both though. I can't, I don't want to be just one. If you get what I mean. If they had a Spanglish billboards, that would be me. But no, if I could do bullshit. Yeah. Okay. So, um, so what New York, I mean, I don't say New York artists, but what like, yeah, what New York artists are you into? Right now? Yeah. Or who you linking up with? Or who you listening to? You said Lola. You said Ice Spice. Like the girls I'm listening to, the guys, I'm like, I'm really into this Jersey drill scene right now. Like shit got me going crazy. But I mean, yeah, I like the Jersey, all of them. I listen to all of that. All that. All that real gangster, pretty shit. Yeah. I like it. Okay. So you like, have you got on a Jersey beat yet? Yes. Is it out? No. Okay. What's the hold up? Why you holding all the sauce? It's not up to me, man. I don't know. I don't know. It's just, we wait for the right time. You know, it can't just, it's art and it's a lot behind everything. So, you know, you can't just, you know, you know how it is. Okay. So real strategic. So you, you and your team is masterminds over here, basically. You could say. Yeah. You could say. How many people is a party team right now? I don't even know. If you had to guess. If I could count. If you could, if you had to guess. Right now, it's a shit. I'll give you, I'll give you a good eight, nine. Eight, nine? Okay. Okay. Okay. That's not even being, you know, exact. That's just an estimate. Just an estimate. Okay. So how did you meet everybody? How did you decide you, you valid to join the squad? I mean, just me shooting my shot. I mean, I was opening for artists. His name is Kiko Grazie. He's a Latin artist. International. Shout out to Kiko. I was opening for him in a club. And I see he walked in with this team. And there was this one person on that walked in with him that I've been following for a minute that I've been trying to pitch my songs to so they could listen to it so they could help me with it and guide me because I had songs in the tuck but I didn't want to drop. So there was this one person that I see that I've been kind of hitting up for the longest and I hit him up again. I'm like, yo, I see you, whatever. Let me play you this song. I ran down and they got, they replied to me and we got together and it was just history. Yeah. Yeah. For sure. Okay. So was you pitching to a couple different people or was you following that person and you lucked with that? I had a couple different people. Okay. I was just testing because I had this one song. It's Coco Rico. It's out by the way. This one song. I had it. I did it in DR. This is when I was just by myself just doing it for fun. I will go to DR, record music, come back just to have it. So I had this one song and I'm like, you know what? I don't want to just drop music to drop no more. It got to make sense. Okay. Like, ain't no way because I liked the song. I really believed it. I'm like, I just needed that one push behind that song. And so I was pitching it to everybody, getting different opinions, different people, different managers, people, you know, just trying to find something. Fishing around. Yeah. And you're doing all this independently. Yeah. Right? Yeah. And then I found the right person and yeah. So what is it that you was looking for, I guess, when looking for a team? I guess just someone that saw the same vision as me because the vision I have is just very, very different. Like I said, I can't compare the sound or the strategies or anything like anybody else. So they just had to see it for what it was. And it's, it was hard and it was very hard for people to see it at the time because I didn't have anything. Like I was, I didn't have mad music. I probably had like one, two songs, English one and Spanish one. And it didn't have numbers or nothing. Like, you know, so I appreciate all that. Okay. Yeah. Okay. So now, looking at your videos now, it's given like high tech productions. It's looking like you have your fits, your looks. What's like, how are you prepping for a music video? It looked like you spent a lot of time on it. I mean, at first I would just, I get my hair done. I hit up my stylist, my hairstylist like, yo, I need this color. I decide my hair color. I put my fit together. Oh, so you style yourself? Yeah. But now lately, like for the, for the last video I had with called Tomala with Kiko crazy, I got a stylist for that one. And I have another video coming out and I got a stylist because honestly, it's a headache. Yeah, it's a lot. That's why I'm like, girl, you was doing all that. It's a headache. Like I love to dress myself. I'm going to be wrong because I have like this type of style that's just different. But it's too much when you got a lot of other things to focus on. It's hard to focus on your fit. Yeah. That's like, for me, that's very important. Yeah. Like the fit, the hair, I don't care about makeup because I don't really, I don't wear makeup like that. Okay. So, but yeah, the fit, the nails and the hair, like. Okay. So how do you feel like you got your sense of style? Who do you feel like had a good style that she was like, that's just cute. That's cute. You like the way they dress? Or you just like being extra? Like, I don't know. I like to be different and weird. Like I like to be, I like to wear shit. Nobody would wear like. Okay. But you like to stand out. I love it. Yeah. Like I don't like to wear things everybody got on. Like, for example, like I like to get fly with fly shit here and there. But everybody got all the fly shit. You feel me? You want to dig deep or creative. Right. That's what make you swaggy. New York shit. They know. If you know, you know. Okay. Okay. So. All right. So boom. So styling yourself, production is getting there. So musically, right? What makes you like, how do you decide what songs you want to shoot and drop versus what songs you want to hold for special occasions? The timing and I guess like my momentum at the time. Like it's a bunch of little key things. Okay. That go with what song I'm going to put out next. Okay. Like that. This is why I do all this different type of music. Like I could do a song for any type of, any vibe. Like I have any vibe. Like let's say right now I'm getting the English momentum back up. Okay. Like I'm in, I'm in a lot of podcasts, English, doing, working English programs or doing English freestyle, like on the radar, stuff like that. That would be good. Like to go towards dropping English track. Yeah. You feel me? But it all got to make sense at the end of the day. So yeah. So on the radar, I think you like one of the only people to do English and Spanish at that time. Maybe. Am I? I think so. I'm not going to drop it out. So I am about to quote it, but I feel like it. So like, um, so you wanted to go on there and do both or you know, just trying to reach both. Yeah. I just do both. That's just what I do. So I just did what I do. No, I know. But like, okay. So on the English side, of course, you know, about on the radar, but like on the Spanish side, like, are they talking about it over there too? Yeah. Oh, yeah. For real? And then there's another program just like on the radar. It's called DJ scuff, which you go up there and you spit. And like that's what a hot artist that Spanish go. And I did that too. And they'd like to compare it and shit. Yeah. Maybe talk about it. Oh, okay. They into him. Okay. So like, um, so getting into it, right? So some, so it's artists that could be there and be lit. And I guess be on this side and be lit. Um, people like to be if like 69 is on the Spanish side, he's like, I guess big over there. I don't know. You could tell me yes or no. I don't really follow 69. Like I'm not into none of that because he got a song with this Spanish girl and she's like, I don't know. Yeah. Number one or something. Yeah. I mean, they doing a thing. So do you feel like stuff happens over here could affect your reach over there? Or you feel like y'all keep it pretty separate or like people know about his whole story and don't care. Different people got different morals. Okay. Yeah. Especially where you at. Like you're from New York. You got, you're going to have different morals than somebody from DR. You get what I'm saying? Yeah. So like what, what, what we not jacking over here. They all the way going to jack it because they're going to see past that. They just, you're going to look at, you know, so it's just, it depends. Like, I don't know. So do you feel like, um, so with some stuff, you feel like, okay, that with some stuff, you feel like they're not absolutely jacking or you feel like who's not jacking in DR. Right. So over here, the whole snitching thing, we not with it. Is there some stuff out there like we're not absolutely not looking past? Or is this some stuff that we would at all? Fuck. They don't give a fuck. Oh, they don't care. Oh, so they, so that's kind of good. I guess. Cause artists could go really far at that point. If you think it's good. I mean, I don't think it's good. So you think people should have more. Of course. I mean, of course. Yes. You have to have, you got to stand. Like if you, if you feel some type of way, you got to stand on that. You just can't, you can't switch up just because, just because did that? No. You feel me? Like that's. Stand on what you say pretty much. Right. Or stand on what you do. Right, right, right. Okay. So, so in making choices in the music industry, you seem very strategic. Oh, like your choices you make, the people you work with, the songs you release, the video and things like that. So like, um, so are you learning from someone? Are you learning as you go? Did you get advice from somebody? I'm definitely learning as I go. And like I said, the people in my team, they taught me everything and we're all growing together, but I definitely learned from them and they're guiding me in a great way. And I feel like, yeah, it's all organically. Like I don't have a book to tell me how to, how to, you know, like, it's just, right, like it's just, you know. So what's one lesson you learned for like, you know, it's other people watching, other people that's upcoming. What's one lesson you learned so far on your journey? Ignore all the negativity and ignore all the people that's going to tell you know, because you know, especially with your female, like you they're going to tell you know, they're going to laugh at you. They're going to laugh at your face. They're going to spit at you and they're going to step on you, but what you're going to do, you're going to keep on, you're going to keep on because eventually they're going to spin and they're going to be sucking dick and they're going to be a dub. Excuse my language, but yeah, it's the truth. Okay. So like, so how is that because do you feel like opportunities are like shifting because you're a girl or do you feel like, because I feel like guys be having other intentions. We know how that be. Yeah. So drawing that line and then some niggas, well, when we interviewed Kitty, she was like, you know, when you draw that line, they be like trying to block opportunities from you. Oh yeah. A lot of people get offended or intimidated. Yeah. Like a lot of rappers, a lot of rappers like let's say. Yeah. What? Why are you saying damn? No, I'm saying like, so Kitty also said the same thing. Like they'll try to block opportunities from y'all. They definitely will. So I'm like, damn, you experienced that already. It's definitely happened to me before. Yeah. For sure. Like they want to block you from everything. They don't want to see you win. If you ain't give that ass to them when they wanted it, they don't want to see you win. So how does, does that discourage you or anything? No. I don't give a fuck when they got to say about me. Like bye. Honestly, like, but to some people, like not everybody's as strong minded. Right. But like in this world, you got to be like, especially as a female, because they say it's a man's world, right? No, babes. It's not. You stand on what you believe in and don't let nobody tell you nothing else and watch how far you're going to go. That was a good advice. Yeah. So do you feel like you would date anybody in the industry though? Or you feel like you're good. You want somebody separate? I mean, I would prefer somebody that's not in, but I'm not going to say I would never. Okay. Because you know, whatever happens happens, but I would prefer someone more low. Yeah. You know. Some people are 50-50. Some people think high profile relationships help the music. I mean, I feel like it can. Yeah. It definitely can. I mean, if you were a high lit lit-ass artist, I mean, of course it's going to help you, but that's my problem. I don't ever, ever in my life want to be known as this nigga's bitch. Okay. Or this person's, no. Yeah. You feel me? Oh, she got lit because she's with him. Or she got lit for this nigga's cloud. Like, no. You feel me? I don't want that. So that's why I prefer nobody and that's like a rapper and nothing like that. Like, it's cool to have it because they'll understand. Like, you can't always be there, but I'm good. Yeah. So are you single because relationships, you feel like are difficult right now or you just want to focus on your career? I really just want to focus on my career. Like, I have a lot going on, and I don't think I could dedicate myself to a man right now. Okay. But when the time comes, I'll be happily open. Okay. Yeah. So what are some of my goals or expectations you have for your career? In the future. Oh, I want to have my own concert. Like a really big, like in my city, Madison, like, you know, I want to do that. And I know I'm going to do it. It's going to take a lot of hard work, but I'm not going to stop until I can. Are you big on numbers? Like, do you be like, oh, I need a gold plaque or I need a million views or whatever. Kissing me? Are you more so like... I know it's important, the numbers. It's very important. It's okay if you don't care about the number. I know it's important. It's okay if you don't care about the number. It's very important. It's okay if you don't care about it. A lot of people don't. I really don't. I go for my music, my talent, like, you know, just my work. And if the audience gravitate to it, then that's amazing. And if they don't, cool. It means I got to keep working. Okay. So five years from now, where do you see yourself? Five years from now, very established as an artist. I see... I mean, I see... I mean, as an artist, where do I see myself or as a person? I mean, in general, some people want to do other businesses, some people want to get into acting. Like, what? I mean, I'm open to all that, but I mean... That's not like a... I just see me as a big brand. Okay. Do you want to stay in New York? Do you want to move somewhere else? It's like a hate love with New York. It's like, I don't ever want to leave, but I need to leave. I want to get out. And go where? I don't even know. Not yet. You're still traveling. Yeah. I don't even know. I can't tell you where I want to live, because I've been so many places, but it's like, I can't live here. Like, when you... Once you're from New York, it's like, it's very hard for you to adjust. Really? People be like, I like Miami. I don't think I could live in Miami. I don't know if I can't either. It's too much going on. I don't know if I can live in Miami either, but I don't know. We'll see. Yeah, we'll see. So, what should people expect moving forward? A lot of music, a lot of unexpected collaborations. Okay. Yeah. And just, stay tuned, man. Stay tuned. You're not going to remember this face. Don't pay attention to the hair, because the hair changes a lot. But the face, remember the face. Okay? So, tell people to find you. How can they tune in with you?
