 What they gon' do with me now? I'm still a troke of the town I'm getting the sisters, I'm hoakin' them down Reachin' the smiles and the frowns What's going on? This Brian from Talk of the Town I'm here with my man Introduce yourself, brother What's up? This is White Rose Moxie From Detroit Detroit? Cool That's what I'm about to ask Where you from? I know you're not from New York So Detroit, how you grew up there All your life? Yeah It's funny I was born in Brooklyn Oh, so you were born in New York and then you moved over to Detroit when? Like super early Like I was a kid Do you even remember? No Your parents are together then? Mm-hmm But my pops had a job though out here So they was out here Then me and my mama moved back to Michigan Got you And then your pops stayed here Mm-hmm Got you And then what got you started like growing up in music? Really my dad and mom listened to a lot of music like a lot Lauryn Heal, Jay-Z All of that Like a whole bunch of stuff though like uh What else? Outcast Like just I remember a whole bunch So not a lot of Detroit stuff? I mean that too But I mean it wasn't heavy into uh rap that I listened to if that makes sense like They a little older so they was on like All of the older stuff like big and all that Yeah that era like Almost like Big Daddy Kane and like Talib Kweli and like Missy Elliott almost like them type That's not even old bro But I see what you say Yeah Oh dude So then what got you started to music? Like how old was you? Like when you really started like saying like alright let me get into this music still Mm Like you mean just like taking it serious? Not really taking it seriously because you know I know like as an artist people continuously like grow and then there's like a pivot where like okay like now I really want to take this seriously you know I want to quit my job and do all things like that so like when you actually just started like saying like hey I like I like listen to music every day like maybe you know rapping at school or something you know freestyling at the table with your boys Oh yeah I started that like when I was like 8 I had this asthma attack put me in a coma for like a couple of days What word? Yeah swear That's crazy And I think that was like third grade and um Yeah I think that was like third grade That's insane and then how did you like As soon as I came out of that I just wanted to make music like I don't even know like how to explain it Yeah Damn near That's the youngest I was about to say youngest hell though to be having that type of shit but Now even right now I'd be scared as fuck just to put that to happen to me so at 8 years old you know I'll commend you So then when did you start taking it seriously then? Um high school High school? How would you know? I'm 20 Oh so you just fresh out of high school? Yeah So cool And then when did you feel like you started getting some some support? Um Probably like 2019 I had dropped this song January 1st called White Goat Yeah Steal my biggest song on Spotify damn near That's the one with 8 million right? Mm-hmm I was tapped in I was heard I feel like I definitely feel like I've heard it before because um So then I guess growing that song do you feel like help you like the blogs promoting it and things like that? Yeah Yeah you was just tapped in cause I saw you was tapped into like Hive Mind and like a couple other really I didn't even really get tapped in with Hive Mind until like later They hard though I fuck with them Yeah they're like you know taking like the lyrical M&A mouth just growing up Mm-hmm I low key Hive Mind is tough cause they in the city like what they was like 5 minutes from the studio I was at at the time so it was like damn I could slide over there whenever How did you link up with them? Um I think it was just like we both knew about each other and I just hit them up like yo Oh so they was already tapped in? Yeah and they knew people I knew too like the Detroit like music scene like it's big and small I say like you know what I'm saying like if you know a couple people they probably know somebody else on some shit like that there's just no balls into everybody knowing each other mm-hmm I got you so then growing up then like what were some of your like influences inspirations as far as you know wanting to replicate them but you know uh it was a lot of people like a lot of people I say I just I was more like I was thinking about it I was more the type to just whatever song it was I wanted to know all the words like on some shit like that just repeat it over and over yeah like on some shit like that got you so then any artist like anything particular any artist that like you feel like is your absolute like um mm maybe like I don't know I was listening to a lot of Travis Scott in high school while I was taking it seriously Travis is my favorite artist all the time so I'm not even I feel you 100% he crazy how do you feel about everything that went down mm I don't know you think he's gonna have a big comeback you think he's done I hope he keep dropping music I hope he do he has that utopia coming out but so then you feel like you feel like that's one of your inspirations for real yeah and um I say future Wayne lucky uh yeah so then Jim collaborations any of them I would assume like Lucky Lucky would be crazy he's crazy right now he's going bananas facts and I've been listening to him like for a minute so that would be yeah he's been yeah hella respect to like Lucky I feel like mm I say he wanted the greatest if not the greatest right now rappers I would not I don't know some people say that's a hot take but you know I get what you say mm-hmm like he's tough tough uh my notes right here it says one of your big things is doing things intentionally like doing things with a purpose do you want to like break that down a little bit like how you like how do you see things um like I feel like it's a lot of shit doing just without intention and it don't necessarily be bad but I'm just trying to bring something different I guess like yeah I feel like mm a lot of success like even me like I've done like running gun videos before like for example but what I want to bring like and what I want to offer is more thought out like I want to bring everything like kind of thought out and not to the point where it's like oh my god like you know too crazy but just you know I really feel like we're damn near in a period where art coming back anyway so yeah I definitely see what you're saying and that's crazy that you said that because um the next thing I'm going to say was the waist side music video that you just put up that's the only thing on your Instagram right now so it's like so I tapped in and like I'm not even going to lie like it's one of the most creative like things I've seen just coming out the underground because like you have all the like what you're saying it's not really thought out so like I feel like people are just microwave music you know they're just put it in for like a second it's one minute songs you know what I'm saying yeah but with your music video you had all the references like the 50 reference Kendrick like all that you wanted to speak on the waist side video a little more like what made you think of that because I know you were working with that the director as well oh yeah I mean it was kind of like the same like a nigga walk in the studio and he'll be like make something like like make a little oozy song or like make a Playboy Cardi song like that should be so funny but people really be thinking like that so I just took that to like visuals like you know I feel like a lot of people mimicking sounds even down to me like I done seen bro I done literally seen moxie clones like that should get crazy like in my city in my city like which is crazier like if you really know but like I feel like yeah it's just kind of the way right now you know so I was just taking into the videos so like that it's funny you say that so like coming up then now that you say from your city like you don't feel like maybe you're also the blue prayer for a lot of people you don't want to take that responsibility of like you know like maybe you know obviously don't clone me don't copy what I'm doing but follow my footsteps cause I'm showing you how to do it you don't feel that way yeah no that's real no let me clarify like I mean like look wise like oh they just copy the whole style yes like crazy like you'll be surprised like that do look like you like on some shit like that but I mean as far as the music like I hope people definitely like see what I did like you know what I'm saying learn from it damn near like or get inspired or whatever cause I feel like it's been a minute it's been kind of rocky it's been a minute it's been a lot of shit going on and so you can take whatever from it for real I feel that so it also says right here that you're a you're a big book person who likes to read a lot yeah so talk to me about that like you feel like maybe reading books helps you with your creativity cause like I said like a lot of the songs that I heard like just completely different you know like we have a lot of joke people up here but like you're like you're like an artist artist I feel like you know so like you wanna like does books help you in that sense he said it twice shit I feel like I like reading I always did like I don't even know I just always was on that like even in like as a kid like I'd be reading chapter books like for real like at elementary school like just bringing it to class like I was interested in that shit like I don't know it was the story like telling a story I was always interested in good stories like I could listen to a real good story and you feel like that helps you at all in your music or yeah yeah I'd be absorbing that shit so it's like it'd be with me so then like okay so I didn't grow up reading I grew up just watching TV playing video games you know what I'm saying so it's like it's hard to like especially in this like social media area it's hard to maintain like information in your head do you feel like reading is easier to do then like maybe like watching TV or scrolling to TikTok because it helps your creative mind cause like I like that's different I feel like a TikTok could be like in my head like I could see it damn near again like I could hear that bitch like it's like I want to say it out loud but the reading should be more like when I'm talking to you like I just be talking like smoother I don't know like and if I don't read like I could hear it in the music like I'd be saying it'd be duller I don't know so I talked we talked about this earlier when you walked in but I was watching your real loud performance so that was your first time of rolling loud? no that was my second time but that was the first time I was on the YouTube with the sick got you so how'd that come so I guess how'd that come out the first time the first time shit no it was crazy Tariq just followed me on the gram and the next thing I know for real we was in LA and I had got the email it was like rolling loud in LA do that do the LA one and we was in LA like that shit was crazy and I was like bet and then we did it cool and then we came back for the Miami one and the Miami one was different it was a whole different level even though it was like four or five months it was just like I was ready that time like for real the Miami one was crazy you had all your people on stage with you I swear you feel me like I loved it swear LA one we had just hopped off tour so it was like that type of energy did some whole shit and then we hopped right back on the road and then Miami one was like okay okay everybody here like that was tough you feel like it's helped you a lot you feel like a lot more eyes are on you now um yeah but I don't know it just be it just be normal are you signed or yeah and who you signed to 300 300 okay yeah and how long did you sign I signed to 2020 2020 right pandemic time I want some crazy shit during the pandemic yeah but that's when you feel like maybe it's going crazy I mean like at the time probably you felt like it was going crazy but now 2022 after doing Rolling Loud and all this other stuff you probably you know it's always up yeah it's always up I mean like it wasn't even the same in 2020 get somewhere for real you know what I'm saying like everything all the success I had to my name was not music related like I had white gold but like that was it like you know what I'm saying and that's like SoundCloud era 2 so you know everybody just think everybody a SoundCloud rapper and I mean I love SoundCloud rappers I grew up listening to that shit but it's like damn that's not what I was trying to do with that like that wasn't what I was trying to be on so getting signed after that I had a lot of people that I told like watch this like you know what I'm saying and how's it feel now just to be able to say like look at me now mm I wouldn't say that shit I feel like but at the same time it feel like uh like that's part of the motivation so though like you can make something happen for real I was 100% like I got signed like in the pandemic like probably three weeks after I dropped my project and I feel like I don't know like I was just saying it you know what I mean like I was really saying like I was about to do that like it was crazy I was telling my my uh my homie like in here with me ever since like we met we was saying like alright but deal before I graduate high school and then that shit came just like that so you was always looking at a sign huh you was always looking at a sign mm yes because like at that time that was like how I was thinking and how do you think now like for the people you know for the young artists out there would you tell them the sign or would you tell them to stay independent I say just go with the like go with whatever feel right for you for real like don't be don't be like hard headed and pass up a bag but also know what you want know what you want and know what you need yeah so oh and get a get somebody who good at reading uh paper like the contracts yes yes even if you think you don't got to if it's a contract have somebody at least look over it because you will miss something even if you think you got it swear so I'm I'm gonna flip it right now it also says that I wrote this down O.D. long ago and it says your favorite shows Atlanta oh my god I've been watching that shit crazy recently Atlanta's like one of the I think Atlanta's one of the best shows that they like for anybody doing like a creative route at all bro it just shows the process completely he Donald Glover is crazy like I like a lot of his art and his music but once I seen Atlanta I was like okay and my friends was telling me to watch it they was like watch Atlanta like yes and I was like okay okay okay didn't watch it and then you just was like got to pick it up swear we was literally at the Clark Spillman Morehouse Homecoming and I was like chilling down there and I usually be moving but we was kinda chilling one day eating we was eating some lemon pepper wet wings that's what happened so then after that I was tired sitting back we watching Atlanta and I was like damn this shit crazy I finished it damn near before we left I got to like season three or something and I finished it when I got back still waiting for the next one man still waiting but I like it just because I just feel like it's just so spot on for young artists just trying to get in but it's from like it's also a manager's point of view you know cause he's like he plays as the manager so it's like it shows a little both sides like the business side but also like the rapping side and like it's crazy but how do you feel about the other one the little dicky show have you seen that Dave Dave I've seen a little bit of that I've seen a little bit of that too you don't mess with it no not even like that it's just I got a short attention span but yeah I've
