 The music's gonna end a little hot. Yeah, we blowin' up like you did too. Yeah, we on Boss Talk 101. Check it, check it, check it. It's the unique house of your boy, E.C.E.O. And I'm here with a lovely, amazing official, Ms. Jamaica, what's going on? Nothing, you know my dad will walk away. Man, hey, man, hey, man, hey, man, say, man. We got a special guest in the house today, man. She don't need no introduction, man. I don't. No, not really, man. Everybody see what she be doing, man. We've been takin' Dallas by storm. Lordy B, Lord have mercy. Lord, Lord have mercy, Lordy B. Man, I mean, you know, when I first seen you, it was before, I'd seen you before anybody told me about you. And when I seen you, I was like, damn this girl talented. That's all I could think. I didn't even think about the singing this song or that song, I just thought about your talent. That's one thing that stuck out to me. So I think that's something that you have and it's undeniable. So I think that's a blessing, man. Everybody can't say that, right? What did you think when you first heard it? I love your lyrics. Okay, you know which song is the first song I ever saw was Wop. Yeah. And I was like, I loved your vocals, but she funny as, I'm like, oh my God, she is so hilarious. That's the first thing I could think of. Like she's talented, but she has a sense of humor and this is a dope. This is a dope. I just loved it. That one was really fun. So I wanna back things up a little bit. Yes. I wanna talk about just you coming up. You from Dallas? Yes. Okay, you said that. I was about to say why you pause that. You don't know where you from? Okay, so I grew up in Cedar Hill. Dallas? Dallas, yes, until about the eighth grade. And then I moved to Cedar Creek Lake, which is like complete opposite. Which is what all the white people do around Dallas. I mean, that's exactly how it happened. That's exactly how it happened. I lived in Cedar Hill, went to school, whatever. Eighth grade, I moved to Cedar Creek Lake, which is like East Texas, like an hour and a half from here. I know where it's at. You know where it's at. I'm from East Texas. Yeah, okay, so I went to school. Good living. Yeah, I went to school at Eustace High School. I know Eustace. And then I went to college at TVCC. Dope. Like I played softball in college out there. And then I went for a year and I was like, this ain't for me no more. And then I moved back to Dallas. So growing up, I was in both places. But growing up, were you with your mom and dad? Okay, so how was, and you had to move. Why did, what was the cause of the move? I really have no idea. I was so young. I really think that my parents just wanted more of the country lifestyle than the city lifestyle. And I came right in for that. I really think that's what it was. Tired of all the cars going by the house. They want to be in peace and quiet when you drive down a dirt road to get to the house. You don't have to worry about people snatching your kids up. But that's usually what it is. It's usually because of the kids, you know, when they want to move is because whether you're getting in trouble in the city, like, you know what, you need to go to a country. Let me just tame you a little bit. Yeah. You know what I mean? I think that's dope that they had sense enough to understand how to give her, you know, different looks, you know what I mean. That makes you stronger as a person when you have to adapt to change. But do you remember how you felt when you had to go out there compared to... Oh yeah, no, I was, I wasn't having it. I didn't like that. I was like, what? All my friends are here, like, we got to go to the country. What the hell? How many, you had siblings? How many? Living with you. Oh, at the time. No, no, none. It was just me. So I have three half sisters, all the same dad, all different moms. Okay. Oh, the rolling stuff. He was. Wherever he laid his hat was his home. That boy was tough. What's his name, if you don't mind me asking. Don't put it out there, that nigga ain't right. And they were younger than you? I'm the middle. You're the middle, man. So I have a younger sister named Taylor. She's two years younger than me. And then I have a half sister that I actually, she found me on Myspace and was like, hey, I think we have the same dad. And I was like, the fuck? Like, it was weird. And then she's actually the one that does my hair. Oh. So yeah. Yeah, I became bestie. Yeah, for sure. Her name's Wendy. She didn't really get to know my dad that well. Oh, your dad passed away? How long ago? Last July. Wow, sorry to hear that. So she didn't get a chance to know him at all. No, not really. Wow. Well, at least she can hear stories through you. What happened? No, for sure. What type of illness did he have? There was a lot wrong with him. He had like lung problems and just all kinds of stuff. How does that make you, does it make you kinda watch your health and what? Oh yeah, for sure. Yeah, I mean, I'm overweight for my height. You know what I'm saying? But I'm still healthy. Like I work out, I don't eat like shit all the time. You know what I'm saying? Like I, and I'm real active like when it comes to performing and things like that too. So like I keep my endurance up. Like I do cardio even though I hate it. Like I do it, you know what I'm saying? So, but yeah. But so, but the only thing that keep coming to my head is that you said your mom and dad was still together. So even although he was a Rolling Stone, she still stayed with him. Your mom is a cool mom, she put up with a lot. Oh, we, yeah, my dad was in a band for 20 years. So growing up in that house, the first house in Cedar Hill, we, our whole garage was just turned into a bar pretty much. And he called it club lazy. So like every night we had people over there like singing and drinking and band rehearsals and all kinds of stuff. So I definitely grew up like in that scene. You know what I mean? I think that's another reason why we moved too. Cause we kept getting noise complaints. Did you have, I mean, did you, how early did you discover your talent? Right. Right. Cause I figured it came, it must have came from your, from your, from dad, right? Again, how early was it when you discovered your talent? I feel like my parents discovered it before. I realized it. They used to try to make me sing in front of people when I was like four years old. And I would, I had, they gave me a little tape recorder and I would just walk around the house, like just singing random songs on this little tape recorder. But I was real shy. My whole life growing up, I was so shy. And then once I got 16, 15, their friends would be over and they'd be like sing, sing this song for them, like and try to show me off. And I would be just scared as shit. I would put on sunglasses and hide behind a wall and it'd take me like an hour to figure out what to sing. And then my voice would be all shaky. I just didn't have confidence then, like at all. So when did it click? What changed? Cause you have hella confidence right now. Yeah. It's night and day for sure. What happened? I think, I think it really happened when I got into a, actually no, I'm lying. I was in high school and I had to perform in front of 10,000 people. That was your first time? Not my first time performing. In front of that many people. In front of that many people, yeah. So I was in the FFA in high school and I didn't do like all the farming shit but they had like a, like an artist entertainment section. I didn't know that happened. Yeah. Cause everybody I know in FFA is all about the farming, the cows, everything. Yeah. They actually have like a music portion of that when they do competitions and stuff. So like, I got with a guitar player and we did a few songs and we made it through state, made it through regionals, made it through nationals and we finally made it all the way to Corpus Christi. And it was just this giant convention center out there and it was just full of people. And I was so nervous. But I sang, what was that Fergie song, that big girls don't cry song? Let me hear it. Do you remember that? The one that's like. Yeah, make me know what it is. The big girls don't cry. Oh, how does it go? That was so long ago. I think I know that song. I think I know that song. Your lingers on me now. Something to your hometown. Girl, you sound good in my ears. Thank you. I can't remember. You can really get down. Baby, you put it in my ear holes. So that's the song that gave you the courage to just go out there and do it. Well, it was because I sang that song and that song had just come out. And even though it wasn't my song, all these girls from other schools in the front row were just, big girls don't just like singing along with me. And I felt this, I don't know how to explain it. Just I was like, oh, shit. It's up. It's up. She's like, it's up. Yeah, and then I got into a top 40 band a couple years, like right out of college. And after that, you didn't turn back to being shy after that. You're just like. Not really, no. Yeah, I gained a lot. Well, the whole Larty B thing, how that started gained a lot of confidence too, for sure. Tell us about how, what did that name come from? Because of course we hear Larty B and like Cardi B. Right. Okay, so how did you come up with Larty Y at L in front of it? Well. Let's talk about it. So I was performing an acoustic show, or actually I had a friend perform an acoustic show in Rowlett, I think in 2017, I believe. And Cardi B had like just come out, like in the music scene. I remember. Yeah, Bodak Yellow. She killed her. And that was at the top forever. It was crazy. Down through there. No, but so. Shout out to my boy Kodak Black. Yeah, hell yeah. And so I just came up and sang a few songs with him, whatever, and I was with a friend and he was like, you know that Cardi B song that's like super hot right now? And I was like, yeah. And he was like, you should remake it. And I had never rapped in my life ever. I was a singer. Right. I am a singer. But like, you know what I'm saying? Like I never. Are you a dope rapper? Thank you, but that was never like in my mind or my agenda or anything. Right. So I was like, OK, I'm going to remake this. I'm going to make it funny though. I was like, everybody likes to eat, right? Whatever. I'll make it like about food or something. And I sat down, rewrote it, decided to go with Lardi B instead of Cardi B. And the first, and it was Bodak Yellow. And it got like 7 million, like overnight. I seen it. Yeah. How do I make you feel? I was like, what the hell? And it's you're like, how hard has I been blowing and singing and this is what? Exactly. And I was like, OK. But then that's that's when it clicked up here. I was like, OK, I think I know what I need to be doing. Right. That's God. At the time, this is what I thought. I thought, OK, I'm going to keep doing these parodies, build this platform. And then when I release original music, easy. You know what I'm saying? But no, that ain't it at all. Because now. Everybody love you for that. People are starting to label me as just a parody artist. You know what I'm saying? Because that's the thing because I sent your information to my daughter. She's 16 and she loves music. Yeah. And I asked her, I said, so what can I ask her? And she said, ask if you ever thought about changing your name because she said that because you've done other parodies other than Cardi B's. So have you ever thought about changing your name from Lardi B to something else? So you don't. In the beginning, when I, so the first one I did was the Bodak Yellow. And I was like, OK, I'm going to do Lardi B. And then I did, I think the second one I did was Freaky Friday, Chris Brown, and Lil Dickie. And I was like, OK, now my name's going to be Lil Dickie. Right? And then when I did a Nicki Minaj, I was like, OK, I'm going to be Nicki Minaj. It's like, you know what I'm saying? But I'm glad I didn't do that because if the name doesn't stick, even though it's all on the same channel, like on YouTube or wherever, you know what I'm saying? If it's not the same name, people aren't smart enough to find shit like that. It has to be consistent, you know what I'm saying? So I was like, OK, I'm just going to stick with Lardi B. I think you made the great dope decision. I think that's the right one. Yeah, because you can't change it. So has she ever reached out or hit you? No, she hasn't reached out. But she shared all of my parodies that I've done of her. She shared all of them. She respected. No, for sure. She shares it within 24 hours of when I release it type shit. It's crazy. Damn. And you all, so you always, when you did the WAP, what did she say? I think she said, I can't or something like that. But with that one, that one keeps re-going like going viral over and over again because they're calling it Kids Bop Wop on TikTok. Oh. Like they're thinking it's Kids Bop Wop, which go ahead, get my numbers out. Exactly. Go ahead. No, but the. So is that your hottest one? Ever. I want to say it's because there's TikTok now. So when I did like it like that. And I called it like that I'm fat, right? She shared that one and it got like over 100 million views on Facebook and shit. So, but now that there's TikTok and it like keeps going re-viral, like I don't know. It's between those two for sure. OK. You don't know what I'm saying. But they like that I'm fat doesn't keep popping up. WAP does. I feel like WAP's never going to die. You, because you look at the way that the social media platforms are monetized and stuff. Did you take control of that early on? Let's be honest, this boss talk on a one. What a boss. No, for sure. Monetization like within social. Yeah, like when you've seen these millions and stuff to happen, did you understand the algorithm benefit from any of those on on YouTube? Yes. But Facebook and Instagram. You didn't understand on Facebook. I didn't know how to do it. I was I just knew I was getting all these views and it was like meme pages and other pages like reposting it that we're getting the views also. You know. So like, yeah, no. And how did you take control of it? I really didn't. So you still haven't. I lost my Facebook page. Damn it, boy. Listen, I've been trying to get as soon as I released WAP on Facebook, because Facebook was my main platform that like got it started and then. And that's where you make a lot of money too. How did you lose your Facebook page? They took it. Mark. Oh, you hit one of them links. You hit a link. I sure did. And they took it. And how many followers you had at that time? I think it was like 150K. And they took that and they monetized it for themselves. They sure did. It was probably a few months after WAP. So probably a year ago. So you never tried. I've been trying ever since Facebook is unreachable. They are unreachable. They are unreachable. I was stopped for like a year or two from being going live and I could not get older. Because I didn't know what I had done. I kind of knew what I had done. And ask your name so you can't even go on there and like try to recreate another name. I did actually. So that main page was under my real name. OK. Because for some reason it wouldn't let me change it to Lardi B, right? And I already had all those followers. So I remade a Facebook page that is Lardi B. But it's not the same. Because I can't go on that page, the old page, and be like, hey, come follow me on a new page. Because I'm locked out of it. You know what I'm saying? So what are you playing? What did you make a new page? With Facebook? Yeah, did you make a new page? Yeah. So you made a new page and how's that one doing for you? Not as good. Damn it, boy. Not as good. There was to be a way. You were actually really pissed off at Facebook. I would be, too. Well, no, no, no. Are you monetized on your new page? I'm mad that there's not a way to get a hold of somebody. It's not. It's not even about that. It's who you know. It's more about. No, it's more about conditioning because God is just pretty much putting you in a situation to keep you humble. And it's going to make you better in the end. So I work harder. No, you know what I'm saying? Don't even trip. You dope. You already going to go. So all you got to do is stay focused, man. Yeah, don't let the devil play with you. What be for you will be for you. Yeah, that's what you're making, saying. I don't know. You're a girl with what be for you will be for you. It's the same thing y'all be saying. What's for you is what be for you. What's for you? What is what is for you? It will be for you. She just cut out the. Yes, yes, they do that. Go listen to them. They will cut a word up and slice it. And this is how you're going to accept it. I love it. That's why I stayed with you so long. It's because of the way that you speak to me and cut words up. It's beautiful. Oh, that's the reason. Now the way you cut that chicken up. But no, it's dope that you you understand you who you are. You understood how to embrace who you was when when everything started to, you know, unravel and God started to show you things. And I heard when you said the talent show, whatever, when you started to perform and then also just going through your spaces of the parodies and stuff like that. Seem like you got to figure it out. And I think that's dope in itself. Thank you. Yeah. And then so but OK, with your music, a lot of your songs now are always talking about food. It's like you're like, OK, that's what everybody likes. So I'm going to keep giving it to so why not? Have you ever thought about changing that and doing something? As far as the parodies, not a parodies. I know if it ain't broke, don't fix it. You have thought about the parodies are the ones that are mostly about food, you know what I'm saying? But now I have this image of. Loving food, obviously, and candy and donuts and popcorn and whatever the hell. And so I do sometimes incorporate things like that in original music. But what I want to say is I know that with all the love that you've been getting, it comes with your haters, too. And some people are going to be like, well, you're overweight and you're talking about food and you're this and that. And that how do you handle that? I read it and move on. You read all the comments. Sometimes if I can, like there's I mean, sometimes there's a lot. I try this pressure. Yeah, that's pressure, bro. It's a lot. Oh, that's pressure. The bigger you get is the more comments you get. And you can't read all them damn comments. It's a lot. You just hire somebody to read them. Why? Right. I actually did a YouTube vlog where I was like reading all my comments and it was just like select ones that someone had sent to me. And I was like, OK, you know, some were hate, some were not, whatever. But like, I will say that when it comes to my fans and even people that just find me, the love like definitely outweighs the hate. Of course, of course. You know what I'm saying? Like, there's always going to be haters. But the reason why I asked you that, because you have a lot of people who come into this industry and not everybody might have a thick skin. And I'm sure that you've been doing so long now that you know how to deal with it. But the first time you got the hate, how did you respond to that? Were you always that person that just always brushed it off or did it affect you in the beginning? In the beginning, I don't want to say it affected me because I feel like that was my strategy the whole time. I was like, I know that there's going to be people that don't like this. But what can I do about it? I did this because I thought it would be funny. I thought it would be fun. You know what I'm saying? So like, it just doesn't matter. Like those comments, they literally don't matter. If y'all hear that? So when y'all get into this business, you got to have that thick skin. Yeah, we've had our ups and downs with the way that people try to bully and all that stuff. You just have to be able to understand that you are great. You are who God made you be. You have to love yourself. But for you, yeah, for sure. Because if you don't love yourself, then stuff like that gets to you like easily. And then I'll say things like I've been called worst of things by better people and it helps me out. So you still plan to do a lot of parodies? Like when they come out with new songs, you're going to keep remaking them. They got to be the right ones though. Okay, you know what I'm saying? What makes it a right one? What makes you pick a certain one over another one? I think it kind of depends on the artist also. Because when I do these parodies, I make sure to pick something that I know is going to go viral and it's going to stay viral. Like when I did WAP, I was like, ooh, the first song with Meg and Cardi, people are going to go crazy. And it's talking about wet ass pussy. You know what I'm saying? And that's going to be controversial. So it's going to, I just knew it, I just knew it. And so I jumped on that one. We released that song and video like three, four days after they released it. Yeah, I was on it. And so yeah, but obviously, so like whenever they, that's still trending. So now whenever they type in WAP, guess the next one that pops up, right? So like whenever I'm constantly looking at brand new songs that are coming out, like all the time, like mainstream songs that are just going to go. If it's a brand new artist and they're just popping at the moment, like you know what I'm saying? So have you ever thought about doing, cause you mentioned controversy. And when I think about controversy, the first person that comes to my head is Lil Nas X. Have you ever thought about doing something, one of his songs, remaking one of his songs? I actually did. And I never released it. Why? I do that a lot. If I don't love it by the end, I'm not going to put it up. But sometimes some people don't love it and then their audience love it. Yeah, but. She got to be here those heels for it. Yeah, like I. Cause you want to push. You're romantic with your work, aren't you? Yeah. For real. Like I want to love it before I put it out for other people to love it. One song out of all your songs is your number one love. Ooh. You better be careful of the other ones going to get jealous. I have two actually. Okay. So the one that I just released, all I'm asking for, that one has my heart for sure. Is that a rap? It's like R&B. No, I'm singing. Let me hear a little bit of it. Ooh, okay. Let's get it. I'll compel it. It's a little love song kind of. I want to hear it. I want to hear it. Get in my ear. Well, let me tell you what it's about. It's about. Was it your life? Yes. Okay. It's about my love for a man, for someone else, that it was the wrong time for him, but there was a connection. Okay. Yeah. Okay. It's hard to admit that I like you if you don't feel the same way I do. I should probably let it go, but I've tried to, I'm trying to. I just want you to know. I never felt so fast before. Got an energy that just can't be ignored. No, no. Don't just want friendship by one more. That's all I'm asking for. I love it. Thank you. Oh my God. I added that to my playlist because I'm like. Yes. I love it. I love that song. Beautiful the way that you express yourself in your lyrics. Thank you. Yeah, and I think that. How long did it take you to write? To write that one? Honestly, I've been sitting on that one for two years. So yeah, you one of those type people. Exactly. How many you got in the vault over there? A lot. A lot, like a lot, a lot. So, but you love, okay, you have it in the vault. You love it. What depicts the right time to release it? With this one in particular. Yeah. It was always sitting at that, it's almost done, Fage, but it needs one more thing. And what did you do to make it ready? I added, well, producer dialogue. We sat down a couple of weeks ago and we're like, we need to reopen this. We need to finish this. Because this, I want this to be out. Like, I'm in love with it, but it's missing something. And so we added a bridge section that has like a synth buildup and then it has saxophone stabs. And then we took the vocals of the hook and chopped them up and made them like lower. So it like, and I'm a whore for saxophone. I love saxophone. Like that is my favorite instrument, hands down. And you know, just a regular listener to that song would not know all of that. You have to be in the music. To be able to pick in exactly the things that you just fine tune. Right. I just know it makes you feel good. It just made the song just feel even better. You know what I mean? And that's when I was like, that's a wrap. It's ready. How's it doing? How's the number two on the board? Is it? It just came out yesterday. It literally just came out like two days ago. Yeah. So it's doing pretty good so far. That's what it's all about. I teased it on TikTok. Did you drop a video as well? Just a lyric video. So I have a video coming soon. Will you? When's it coming? Mm-hmm. I don't know yet, I gotta film it. You shot it? No, it's not shot yet. No, it's not shot yet. But we just wrote the treatment for it the other day, so. You should get that guy to be in there. Who? The guy you were talking about on there. No. Oh, hell no. No. She said, hell no. Get you a model. Oh yeah. Get you a model. For sure. Get you one of these, grab a TikTok guy or something. You know what I'm saying? That's how you make it pop. I already have one in mind. You know what I'm saying? You gotta make it make sense. People don't make things make sense. I was talking to a group of people last night between the hours of 12 to three where we have our meeting every Monday through Wednesday and I was telling them about, you know, getting the right people in the right places. We have all these relationships. There's so much we could be doing that we're not. And it's disturbing to me. No, I wanted to know, did Lizzo impact anything that you do with music and your artistry? Honestly, no. No. Hey, you know that? You're not like her. You actually, to me, you're nothing like her and actually you're more versatile. So I'm not for to play with that. Thank you. I appreciate that. I'm not saying I don't. I don't play with this lyricist stuff. She don't. Yeah, I was gonna say, I'm not saying I don't like her but like people do put us in the same category because we're promoting body positivity and like bigger girls, you know what I'm saying? So that does happen like really often. Like, oh, she the white Lizzo, but. Not to me. She is outgoing and she don't really care what nobody says and just that type of way. I just love that about her. You know what I mean? Yeah, but she was doing that thing before Lizzo even came out. So we're not gonna play like that. You don't know who was first. Actually, wait, so she popped with. I already know who was first. I ain't saying who was first. This girl been saying she did this since she was in high school in this and I'm not playing with it. But we don't know Lizzo's story to know when she started. I'm talking about what Lordy be me. She did not know that woman. So therefore I'm not gonna play with that. They're both dope, but she has her own dope-ness and we're gonna stick to that. Right there. You see how I do this interview? I'm dope with it. But it was the truth, right? No, yeah. No, you're not wrong. I know I'm not never wrong. If I figure that part out, we might be okay for another 20 years. But anyway. He said might. Go ahead. Take it back over. But no, I think let's get back to it because I will cut most of this out to be honest, if I don't like it. But I just wanna make sure that we do you justice. That's what we're here for. A lot of times we sit in these seats and we've met a lot of people doing this. I got over 700 interviews. That's awesome. I mean, and to be quite real with you. Every opportunity that I get to speak to somebody that's talented like you are, I don't play with that. You know what I mean? No, I feel you. So thank you for coming on our show. Of course. Thank you for having me. No, like for real, like I knew we was gonna get you on there today. When she showed you to me, I was like, I already been looking at her. I'd already been. I showed you her long time ago. You didn't say anything about it then. That's probably cause you was annoying. You're annoying. You probably pissed her out the way. You know what I'm saying? I was like, you trying to make up with me. You know what I'm saying? Don't stop. You've been there right? It was mid-argument like, okay anyway, look at this. What? It's not happening today. No, so what? Oh, go ahead, babe. Oh, thank you. What do you feel like? Who do you feel like you would wanna work with? Like, if you could pick anybody. Would it be Cardi B? Mm-mm. I didn't think so. We love, I love Cardi B. I do too. No, I do too, for sure. Who would it be? But I'm more on some pop shit. So who would it be? I like singing and rapping, but on some pop shit. You go with the B. Liz, oh, I love the Bs. Oh, no, I love the Bs, Liz and Liz and I love the Bs. I do, but I would say Rihanna. Ooh, that's dope. Missy. Ooh, that's dope, but Rihanna's dope. And maybe Doja. Doja. My daughter loves Doja, Karen. Rihanna, everybody, Rihanna is the dopest person. Okay, Rihanna's queen B. She's the dopest that you named. As you talk about Doja, crazy. Listen, I think my daughter told me that something about she's retiring or she's not doing it. She better not. That's what I heard, too. That's what they said. Publicity stunt. Come on. They also said that her and Homeboy broke up because he was cheating. Y'all saw that today? Let me tell my Rihanna. Rihanna, it's everywhere. How can you not see it? It's everywhere. Do you believe that? Big pregnant, no. They said he cheated. Honestly. They said he cheated. I mean, you never know. Like, I read shit in the media all day, every day, and I'm literally like, okay, on to the next because tomorrow is gonna be something different. It's like, you never know what's right and what's wrong, but they know what they're doing. They're creating all this gossip and all this talk. But she don't even need it. She makes billions and billions and she continually making money. She don't need it. Well, I hope it is real, so she writes a new album about it. She's not really caring about that right now. She's got a billion dollars. She don't really care. I miss her music. I do. I really do. I miss her music. She doesn't care about which I miss. No, I want her music. A billion dollar feel different than when she's, when you heard Umbrella and all that, you was, she wasn't looking at the kind of money she looking at now. I know y'all enjoy it, but you just, you know, money has a way of making things a little different for you. We'll say it like that. But when you have a fan base who love you and who gives a damn about you. Your songs can pull people's souls. She's not a fan of that song, though. If they're not in it, at the end of the day, if you're not in it, if you're not happy doing it, you got money, then yeah, I get it. I'm just gonna focus on my, what you got, mascara, lipstick, what you got? Underwear, lingerie. I'm just gonna focus on this, so I don't have to go see these people who keep following me around, putting cameras in my face. I was listening to Rihanna on the way here. Man, she dope. I love Rihanna. I love you. She dope. Mm-hmm. She dope. So, I saw a post the other day about you possibly being signed. Mm-hmm. So is that true? Did you get it? Will you sign or do? I'm never satisfied. No, no, no. I saw something says, it says popular CEO radio brings United Masters to Dallas to get artists signed at showcase. That's what I'm talking about. You just get down to it. So every year we do an artist showcase at Never Satisfied. So whenever radio started, Never Satisfied, it was with Ian Brown, right? Yes, brother that passed away. And so they put on a showcase and he flies out whoever to be like the judges, right? And so this year one of the judges was Aaron, I don't remember his name, but he's with United Masters. Mm-hmm. And I wasn't part of the contest because I'm already signed with Never Satisfied. Not saying I'm not getting offers for bigger deals or anything right now, but it wasn't really for me. It was for all the people that were performing and auditioning But do we have a post look because it has a year? The way it looks, see, that's exactly what I'm talking about. How the media makes you think one thing. Right. You know what I'm saying? They're like, oh, I don't even know what's performing, but you know, radio Raheem, you never know. You know what I'm saying? I'm sitting in the kitchen way in the back and someone's calling me like radio wants you out here. I was like, okay, I know exactly what's about to happen. I was like, plug your shit up, let's go. Got up there and sang a quick song. That's almost like a parents all over again. Yeah. Come on. So radio, how did you and him link up and how did you end up signing Never Satisfied? He a dope dude. Me and him are dope friends. And how long has it been? I pick up the phone and call that guy anytime. Love that guy. He was just on Boss Talk. Shout out to him. Thank you for the Never Satisfied chain that I got. I am a part of the clique, so don't get it screwed up or twisted. I am down with you, baby. So at the end of the- See, she fixin' her necklace too soon. I know, I was like nevermind. Sometimes I'm just thinkin' twisty, so. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I got it. What do you, so how did you guys link? I threw my own festival called Lartyland in 2020. Beginning at 2020, right before quarantine. Like right before it. And somebody invited him. I'd never heard of him. I had no idea who Radio was. I never heard of Never Satisfied. So Radio Raheem. I'm right here with you. Radio Raheem, you meet him because you did- Yeah, Lartyland. I threw my own festival. That is so cool. And so he seen you and he went, how did he approach the situation? Yo, it was actually crazy. He didn't even talk much. What did he say? He really didn't say shit. Like, he really didn't. He was like, all right, just cool. You know what I mean? Like this, you did, you did, cool. You know what I mean? And it was, and you know, people were introducing me to him and things and I had a million things going on. So you didn't know who he was before that? I had no clue, but he was like, take my number. You know what I'm sayin'? Come check out my studio. I was like, oh, okay. That's him. Cool, right? I didn't call him for like a month and a half after that. Cause I was like, I don't know who this guy is. And I had so much going on with that festival. Like I'm telling you, I had tattoo artists there doing live tattoos. I had a magician. I had a cotton candy factory. I had a funnel cake food truck. I had- Do you do this every year? Cause I'm like, that sounds fun. I don't know. I only did that one time, but I'm doing it again, for sure. Carol, you should be doing that every- Quarantine, quarantine happens and then, you know what I'm sayin'? It just like put everything behind, but. And so yeah, so whatever. And then I finally was like, okay, I'm gonna check out. See what this is about, right? I messaged him. I was like, you still wanna have that meeting? And he's like, yeah, you can come by the studio, whatever. I was like, okay, well. And you didn't even Google him before. No, no, I didn't. But I brought my roommate with me, which is the producer that signed with Never Satisfied Now as well. It's a dialogue, crazy good. Like best ever. And I was like, you're going to this with me. And he was like, no, I'm not trying to go. And I said, no, you're coming with me. I'm not going to this random studio by myself. Like I've been to some sketchy studios. You know what I'm saying? I was like, yeah, for real. And so I was like, no, you're coming with me. And he came with me. And we had our meeting with radio and radio didn't even know that I wasn't just a parody artist at the time. Like I think he looked up a little bit of my stuff and it was all, the numbers are all in the parodies. So he looked it up and he was just like, okay, cool. But then we had that meeting and I was like, well, let me show you what else I got. And then he was like, oh, shit. Okay, like you might be on to something, you know what I'm saying? And then Brandon or dialogue showed him some beats and things like that. And then we were just rocking from there. Like I was in love too. Like I love that place. How long ago was that that you signed with him? Okay, so I signed almost a year ago now. But I had just been rocking with him and breaking bread like before that even happened. Yeah, so I think it was July 7th last year and it was like seven, eight days before my dad died. Wow. That's how you remember it. It was crazy. And you know what else is crazy? Yeah, that's how I remember. Because I didn't tell anybody that I was getting signed. I didn't even tell my mom. I told my mom, I was like, yo, come up to the studio tonight, I have rehearsal and I just want you to be there. I'm doing like a behind the scenes vlog, right? But it was really, I really did have rehearsal, but it was also because I knew I was getting signed. So I wanted to surprise her. But I called my dad because he lived in San Antonio and I called my dad before that. And I told him about it and he just started crying on the phone and it was like, and then it was almost like he found out that information and he was so proud of me. And that was like, he was like, I can let go now. You know what I'm saying? Oh, it was crazy. That's crazy, but just a great memory, man. Yeah, for sure. At least you know how he was proud of you. Definitely. And you're able to hear that and experience that. Wow. For sure. So you signed and what do you expect after signing? I've been doing it a lot on my own before this. You know what I'm saying? So I really didn't know what to expect except for my team to get bigger. And that's exactly what happened. Like it was literally just me, producer, and then guy that does my videos. But then my whole team this whole time. And now never satisfied. Like it just keeps growing and growing and growing. And it's just a huge family that I never expected to happen, but I'm so grateful because they're so helpful and everybody's so supportive and like nobody's selfish or like all about themselves is like we're all gonna eat type shit, we're all gonna grow and get there together. You know what I mean? How important is it to have a larger team rather than just the three of you? Like how it was before? How important is that? Very important, cause I'm getting busier. Listen, I'm getting busier and it's getting harder for me to keep up with all the shit. You know what I mean? So it's, I feel like even if I still had three people, I would find a way to make it work. But yeah, no, I like having a big team. You know, and a lot of people say like, keep your circle small, you know? And I do to an extent, but like, I trust everybody within never satisfied with my life. Like with my career, you know what I'm saying? So what's your end goal? Where do you see yourself in the next, say five, six years? No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. I'm excited. That would be so dope to see you on there. I want to be on Saturday Night Live so bad. You would fit that. Listen, you would. I want to. Okay, how creative would you come out? Cause I know your creative juices are crazy. Like what would you do to make your Saturday Night Live, if they put everything, which I know they don't just put everything on you. Right. But if they gave you the set, here you can do whatever you want. How would you make it different? I feel different. I feel like honestly, it would start with a parody. I feel like that's how I would get their attention in the first place, right? Like writing a parody, whatever trending song is happening, whatever, performing the parody, but also within a skit. So I want to do both. I want to be like the musical guest and I want to be able to do a skit, right? But I'll tell you right now, I have to work on that. Cause like, I laugh pretty easily. Like, if I'm reading it and or somebody else is laughing, it's hard for me to hold it in. It really is. I got to work on that. I'm working on it, but that's definitely where I want to be though. Wow. I just, I think you, I think I was going to ask where you would be at, like the fourth quarter this year. Like I was trying to figure out what you were doing this year. Cause I'm so anal on making sure that every move is precise. Now I don't know if your label may have a lot to do with what you would be doing by the end of this year, but that's something that I would key in on for the people who follow Lawni B, you know? I feel like the label, they don't take any of my creative control. They leave that all to me. Obviously they give advice. You know what I'm saying? Like I'll come up to radio. Sometimes I'll be like, I think I want to do this. And he'll be like, no, no, hold on. Let's think about this. You know what I'm saying? Cause I am quick to do things. Like I get an idea and I'm like, I get really excited. And I'm like, I'm going to jump on it right now. You know what I mean? And I feel like as I'm growing as an artist and I just feel like I'm, they, you know, try to guide me. Advise you. Advise me, guide me in the right direction. You know what I'm saying? But at the end of the day is your decision. Yes, pretty much. Yes. I think that's dope, but still, where will you be at the end of the year? What are you trying to accomplish this year? What are you wanting your goals? And have you said any? I be honest. Yeah. No, I have a goal right now and it's for this new song to be on radio or serious. Because I haven't had that before. Really? I've had the parodies every now and then. A DJ will spin it on the radio once or twice. You know what I'm saying? But like an original song. I wanted to be either spun on the radio or serious. How hard is that to happen? Not hard, because I can get it spent tonight. I mean, listen, look at God. I want you to. That's pretty crazy, right? No, I think you. I think you. Yeah, I think you you're dope, but I think there's so much more to you because of the the the the talent. How often do you drop different things on Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, Twitter, or by Twitter? Let's leave that out. Tiktok music. No, just anything. Your fans love you, right? Listen. Oh, yeah. No, for sure. I'm big on Tiktok right now. I think Tiktok is the way I because she's silly. She'd be on. I think Tiktok is the rest. The sun told us the same thing. He's been trying his best to get hills going, isn't it? Well, listen, Tiktok is all about consistency. That's all it is. You can. It don't matter what you post. It don't matter what you're trying to promote. It's easy for you to say. Tiktok. I'm I'm telling you. Listen, man. I don't try to get me up. How many like three have on your Tiktok? Five hundred and fifty thousand. She'll be with C4S. The ones came on here. You be with C4S. She don't even know who you know. You don't know them. They be dancing. Oh, boy, Prince, that rock. You weren't on that video. What video? It's a video that say my brother had called me by the rock and we gone rock rock. They had a old boy Prince. You got this one leg in one leg out. That's not it. Oh, I was like, hey, baby, they do it all. They came on here. They do a lot of different dances and stuff. Yeah, it'd be dope for you to have with him. It's a dope idea to have what what they're doing is they have a group called C4S. But C4S is full of stars. It's click full of stars. It's filled with Tiktokers. Tiktokers, Instagrammers that are like two hundred three hundred million million. They got two or three with millions. I mean, it's crazy. So he's going to put out it. Got a K is on there. Got a K. Go for it. You know how to go to Cardi B. Text him, follow him. He been on here. Got a K. Got a K. Look him up on Instagram. Yeah, she said, I'm going to find out if this is true. Right now, he been on here. I'm about to release his his his his interview. Good, OK. Did you find it? The kid. G. G. U. T. T. Look at look at you. U. T. T. A. Yeah. Kid. No, OK, OK. Cardi B, follow him. Just look it up. Follow us and pop up real fast. How about you send it to me on Instagram? Oh, that was easier. I will. OK, thank you about that over that age limit. Don't have to know. I'll be doing you justice, man. I always think about that when I interview people. It's like, I want you to get the most out of what we ask you. Just me being here is helping. Are you really? You like it? We've been kicking the door. Look, any publicity is good publicity. Like, well, that's crazy. Thank you for real. I can't believe it. Don't cry. No, I ain't crying on the set yet, but I'm going to do it tonight. No, I'm grateful for real. Thank you. Thank you for coming. I just sent it to you. Oh, good. When does this come out? When I tell it to. Yeah, I got a show on Sunday. Oh, yeah? When do you want it to come out? Well, don't give her no trust. She ain't got no. Don't do that. You know, for the work of me, I like that. My mind let her make it, though. I do be looking out for people. When when B-straw 808 came out, I made sure that radio Raheem stuff came out. Could we announce that? Although they didn't realize it was out. They didn't realize it was out. Oh, no. I'll be tripping because sometimes I want to tell people, like, if you ain't watching the Damn Challenge, maybe you don't need to know that I need to charge you. You know what I'm saying? Yeah. I'm kind of weird. I'll keep an eye out. Yeah. Why not look? It'd take five seconds. Radio, something I do. That's my guy, though. I can't be mad at radio. He's, I'm very blessed to have him in my life. He dope dude. He love animals. He's a animal lover. I have a video where I use a lot of his animals. I got a monkey. I got an armadillo. I got the snake. Yeah, yeah. Be a circus. Top three artists of all time. OK, go ahead. Dead or Alive. Any genre. Top three artists of all time. Dead or Alive. Any genre. Let's do this. Number one. Lil Wayne. He's your number one? I'm a young money. Well, I listened to, I was stuck on Lil Wayne growing up. I just was though. I don't know. Like I thought you was going to join Young Money. No. No. I didn't think that at all. I was just a fan. Big time. He just, he was a lyrical genius. I mean, he still is. But like he just. You don't put out a lot more. One of my partners just did a song with him. Yeah? Yeah. Yeah. I mean, I don't know. And then I was actually like on stage for his show. Like I just really know what he's like. I know. That's why I was. I didn't say that. He flew all the way down and came on my show. I know him. He's my guy. I can pick up a phone and call him right now. He'll answer. OK. I think I'm in there. That's my guy. Yeah, you got a song with him. Lil Wayne number two. Number two. Eminem. Boy, that's a big country. But you're white. I get it. You know what I'm saying? You got a right. You got a right with that. Listen. You got a right with that. I think he's dope. Lyrics. Lyrically. Lyrically, he's OK. Right. I mean, you would say, no, he's great. I would say he's OK. I have my thoughts on it. I like the fact that he obviously didn't give a fuck, right? But there's a lot of artists that are like that. But growing up. I liked that he was like funny, too. I feel like I found inspiration in that when it came to the parodies. You relate to it. You know what I'm saying? Like, what was that song that two trailer park girls go around the outside? I didn't like that song. It was funny. He threw up in Michael Jackson's face. OK. Michael Jackson is also one of my tops. You heard what I just said? I got real close. Yeah, no, I hear about that. I hear you. Yeah, the glove came out when you said it. Like, don't play. Don't play. That was one of the reasons probably I took one of my stars from him. I have issues. It was in the video. Yeah, go back and look it up. Yeah, I don't remember it. I don't. Yeah, I don't remember that. It was a big deal. I remember I watched it. A lot of people probably was talking about it for you, didn't I? My bad. It just did some weird stuff in there. You know what I mean? Yeah, but at the end of the day, he's just being creative in its own space. And a lot of time, those people were getting kudos and being. But it was a thing for me like, don't pick on Mike. You don't pick on other brothers. You don't even play with other brothers out there. So don't do that. That's me. I'm kind of thrown. Was it in the lyric, too? Or was it just the video? It was just a video. You I'll show it to you. We'll do it. Yeah, I don't remember. Yeah, it's been a while. I don't know if I can watch it, but I'll let you watch it. OK, look, I'll look it up on my own time. I don't need you, you know, going out of your way to get re upset. No, I'm not going. I just it ain't only that. I mean, I just think a lot of time that he gets a lot of credit. That's all. But but he worked his butt off, too. I'm not taking that away from him. Right. He worked his butt off. He's a I've we've had these discussions. You can go back and watch the shows. I always talk bad. I'm not bad, but I stand my ground. Everybody's entitled to their opinion. I think Lil Wayne would be one of the goats, the dopest ever. Coming from where where where you come from. Things he's experienced. I look at that. Yeah. And it's serious. You know what I mean? Not only him, Birdman, all the boy, they come from. He started as a child. You've got to understand he had a bird man. Yeah, no, for sure. Bird man, a beast. And he don't get the credit he deserves either because he's in the South. And I say that all the time, too. They kind of look down on the South because Birdman holds us up. He's got to torch. You know, they don't they don't like that. When I, yeah. So in 2008, I went to the K-104. Did you meet Birdman? Yeah. Damn. So I went to the K-104. You get a hand belt right there. That's my nigga. Shout out to Birdman. This number one story. The K-104 Summer Jam. And it was at, it was, it's Verizon Theater now in Grand Prairie, but it was Nokia Theater, I think back then. And my uncle was a production manager of the venue. So I had all access. And I'm back there, 18 years old, just bopping around freaking out because it was pretty ricky. Birdman, Lil Wayne. Day six. Yeah, day 26. Day 26. Day 26. Hurricane Chris. Who else? There was a few more, but I was just like, holy shit. And did you talk to Lil Wayne at that time? No, I didn't get to talk to Wayne. My uncle was like, listen, don't you go running around here, fucking things up. He was like, calm down. I was like, okay, okay. I'm gonna be good, I promise. You know what I'm saying? But yeah, no, it was crazy. It's serious Lil Wayne coming to room. I was on the stage. We've been in that room when he walks in, he's serious. It's like everybody just, I believe it. Yeah, it's not a game. We've been in that room and he walk in and like the whole room is, one girl was just so nervous. I'm like, what the hell, man? She was tripping. I say, well, she said, oh, I just got to see him. I said, damn. And then like black coats come in and they was serious about that. They wasn't playing no game. So you. I believe it. Number three. Number three, but that's the one. Queen. Latifah? Nah. Rock band queen. Oh queen. I ain't got that's the first queen. That's the first queen. Damn. And I love your whiteness. Thank you. Thank you very much. You got all these. Yeah. Yeah. You got perpetrators. When I grew up though, it was, I listened to all kinds of genres and I feel like I stuck to that, like growing up. And that was at my dad also. He listened to a lot of like blues and jazz, but also like dad rock, like matchbox 20 and nickel back and things like that. You know what I'm saying? So like, and then my mom, she calls them 80s hair bands. Like that's her favorite. You know what I'm saying? So when it came to like the rap culture, I really just got it from my friends like at school and stuff. Cause I didn't really have that at home, but it made me eclectic to like all of them. So my playlists nowadays are literally all over the place. Nope. It's a rollerco- It's like, it'll be queen. It'll be Kevin Gates. It'll be Lil Wayne. It'll be pink. Then it'll be in sync. Then it'll be, you know what I'm saying? Yeah, I thought you would have said you wanted to do a song. What's that other part? It'd be just not Justin Bieber. The other one, Timberlake. Oh yeah. Justin Timberlake. Oh yeah. That would be dope. One of the first videos. Yeah, one of the first cover songs that I ever did was a Justin Timberlake song on YouTube. It's a bad dude. I always have like, I'm a big fan of him now. And you see him on Saturday Night Live too? He's funny. Bring it on down to On-Liv-Ville. You know what I'm saying? Oh yeah, I gotta get my 16 from before she get out of here. You want to beat? You want me to put a beat on or something? No. Okay, let's, well just give it to us the way you do it. Matter of fact, I'm gonna record this. I'll record it. We're doing a 16. Well, you can do it. Just give us a little bit of something. How you want to do it. You know, be honest with you. Make sure you clean your thing. Make sure you clean one thing. Yeah. What you worried about yours? What you worried about mine for? Geez. I'm supposed to check. Check me? I get checked all the time. I'm sick of getting checked. Man. This is us all the time. I love it. I love it. It's a good vibe in here. You think so? It's a great vibe in here. Everybody is saying that to him. No, for sure. You didn't feel the vibe. For sure. It's a great vibe in here. It's a great vibe. Yeah. We doing a 16? Okay, let's see. 50K for a feature. Iced out pink lemonade on my sneakers. One check, two check. Ben had the blue check. Diamonds on my neck they reflect. That's a light flex. My rings look like Easter. They pink people on each egg. My get a oozy diamond on my forehead. Hop on the track just to make me some more bread. Flow make them look like they just popped a warhead. Hey, check it, man. Yeah, man. Check it, man. Lordy B just hit you with the, whoo, with the fresh one. That's called pink lemonade. Hey, pink lemonade. Where do you get your inspiration for your songs? Honestly, and how often do it come to your head? Oh, all that is nonstop in here. Really? Like it is nonstop. I don't, I mean, it comes from all over the place though. It could come from me being at the grocery store. It can come from me watching a movie. Like, you know what I'm saying? It's literally all over the place. It's not just inspiration from other artists. It's everywhere. It's everywhere. And cause you, cause earlier you said, how long you take to write a song? Does it take that same thing for all your songs? Or what's the quickest song you've ever written? Original or parody? Original. Because with original, do you put more efforts in that than a parody? Yes. Yeah, parodies are easy. Cause, so I remake the beat, but it's already got it laid out. You know what I'm saying? So like we remake the beat, and then I'm just replacing words. Like for me, I'm not saying that's like easy for everybody, but for me, that's like really easy to do. I can do that in an hour. Okay. You know what I'm saying? Two tops. When it comes to original songs, I'm, that's my stamp. Like this is my original shit. So I'm like not overthinking it, but I'm also like cautious. And you write everything? Yeah. I have a team of writers that help also, but like yeah, I've never had a song that's been like written for me. You know what I'm saying? That's why a lot of people say that they don't like writing their own, writing songs because they prefer to punch in because when you write, you do too much. Like, you overthink, you overthink too much. You can overthink it for sure. Rather than when you go in and you just punch in, it's just there and you listen to it like, okay, I'll just change this or change that. Girl, please. When you go and write and take your time and put more into it, I think you get more out of it too. It just depends on the person. Depends on the person. Yeah. Write that thing now. Do you write for anybody else? Have you written for anybody else? No. Not yet. Not yet. Not yet. That's what you're supposed to say, not yet. I mean, I have a lot of songs in the vault that I could potentially sell. You know what I'm saying? So, because my genres are kind of all over the place. Have you thought about doing country? Yeah. I kind of want to do a country parody, actually. That'd be dope. You know what I'm saying? The song was the little Dirk song in that Morgan Want, that Broadway girls, you know that song?
