Let's ball I just won't ball out fucking give drunk off Remy till we fall out sure they got work in the AM better call out only live once So you know we going all out. Let's shine matter of fact fuck shine. We illuminate. I'm gonna keep going hard Nicky you can hey big jacks while rap cuz I do the grape look at all this motherfucker money We accumulate let it pile up them file out on the runway Don't fly out get a bad bitch don't slide out. I just want to I just want to I just want to wild out so Usually it just for me is it all starts with the beat You know I'm saying like I my music is really driven by feelings and the feeling of the actual record You know like a lot of music that I even like that I listen to Won't necessarily be the lyrics, you know, I like the quiche a cold record and should be saying something You know talking about heartbreak, but it's really the feeling of the actual record that I'm in love So when I get a beat that gives me a certain feeling and from there, you know I start to figure out where I'm gonna go with the record what emotions I want to convey What subjects I want to talk about. I mean as a person he's a good dude always a hundred I think I think that just transfers over Into the music like if you's a real nigga in real life And the music is gonna be the same shit He um he embodies what you what you're looking for the artist at this point, man I mean I myself am an artist, but I'm there ways in which he influences and inspires me Even as as as the role that we play as friends, I've known Chris for four minutes I'm saying we grew up together like He's a little few years younger than me, but we all grew up together went to school together I'm saying and we used to do music before he did you know I'm saying so at the end of the day like I always knew He was like a raw talent We made music that didn't sound like Local music and when I say local I don't mean local as in Boston I mean local as in local like doesn't matter if you from Alabama when you make local music if you from Idaho and you make local music or you from California you make local music you hear the Boston influence in it But there was a worldly appeal and all of the music that Chris made myself and Us as a collective I work relationship. It's easy really based upon it just all starts from our friendship already You know I'm saying like we Sandbox niggas I moved in the same apartment who he moved that is you know like and it just so happens We became best friends. I ain't even know that when I moved into the apartment I'm saying I even know the nigga. I mean, it's just so crazy how we everything came together like that So our relationship stems off friendship that both niggas that just caught the same dream film saying it started running with it It's just crazy how it worked out. So, you know, so, you know, so it all just came in together So it's easy. I mean so everything that we did this week was young man It's always just been easy for us because we're best friends and I'm saying second brother So if you know season, you know me regardless on how long we've been doing this boy You know our relationship is more than a relationship Tell you want to hit you You know being from here man being from such a relatively small city it's like It's like trying to throw a rock into the ocean, you know, I'm saying trying to try to be heard trying to you know I'm saying so you got to adopt and create opportunity You know I'm saying you got to find ways you got to get on the road. You got to go meet people You got to build relationships You got to grind like it's it's more of a grind than it is anything else Trying to put yourself on the map, you know, if you're not from a major market like New York or L.A. Or Atlanta, you know, I'm saying you got to really put that extra work in When it comes to writing a verse You know, I used to be a rapper too So, you know, I you know, I can kind of relate to it too You know, like it's not just about being nice and you could put worse that sound good together or that rhymes But it's about not just what you say, but how you say it, you know, I'm not even gonna front people know me as a rapper I was terrible, you know, I'm saying they're not like my beats. You know some beats is over here rapping was over So you we used to tell me that because I was a type of rapper They used to say whatever but not the right way, you know, so it's like it didn't sound slick You know sound fly it didn't sound like it should sound and Ceezy was a rapper that made it sound smooth The new era It's me and him on that song The Brooklyn stand up, I just came back from Brooklyn just so I come to this video I've got a moving shoot back in Brooklyn. I fuck with Ceezy for years While we get these strippers in money together man Oh So as far as how I want my brand to be perceived I just want you to know That what I give you literally and musically is honest Honesty is is I feel like Emotion is the best music because that's what really connects with people worldwide Music is it's colorblind white people like people Spanish people. It doesn't matter As long as it's real and it comes from a real place People can relate to it and that's what I pride myself on whether it's a song in a strip club Whether it's a song on the corner whether it's a song about me and my my girl and my kids whatever it is It comes from a real place Far back is being maybe Seven seven eight years old seeing um The records the old records that my grandmother had in the collection. I remember, um easy ease MWA album sticking out to me Um Anita Baker I never actually listened to the records. I just they just stuck in my memory And then from there, you know, it was michael jackson and Um chris cross. I was a big chris cross to my name is chris. You already know I first met him when he was just a young raw Artist not not really an artist shit. Just a rapper. I mean freestyle all day and was just real raw aggressive What it wasn't really making you know what I'd like to call a record It was just more like, you know going in the studio and just recording over beats and Although it was it was he it was just more, you know Then when he linked up with j j called him And j's production is crazy And started getting around gis and these guys started formulating the whole rap thing That's when he started to really make music The recording aspect is is probably um my favorite of My favorite like I just enjoy creating Like I went away. I did um, you know when I went away Like I was I was wondering like I was trying to figure out what I missed about music You know what I'm saying because I couldn't I couldn't do anything. There was no beats to write to there was no space to record So it was just like I just miss creating being in the studio. That's like that's like my element, you know, I mean like I love the stage I love to be in the streets hand-to-hand meeting people shaking hands But my element where I am most comfortable and where I'm best is in the studio chris davis You know the same last name is miles miles davis It was great trumpet player And seize is a great rapper So, you know, I guess there's something in common with the two I knew seizey since he was like 16 maybe even 15 But he lived around the corner for me I used to live in nc north cambridge And he lived in lincoln way and I knew one of his sister's friends Which used to talk about him all the time. So one day we finally we finally met Me and seizey and he heard of me, you know, he knew about me. I was making beats in real high school You know, I was doing my rap thing and shit. You know, seize is like, yo, we got to get up by So I'm like, yeah, no doubt So when I tell him I live he's like, oh, he lived down the street for me. We got to get up so he comes through and um Shit, it was history ever since then, you know saying we were just working and he was like, yo My beats selling industry quality. He was like, yo, this is what I needed I put him on to a studio at the time which was cyber sound where I used to record all my shit at and um We I used to be there all the time booking four or five hours and four or five hour blocks for 17 year old Is expensive first off and there's a lot of time when you just when you don't know what you're doing Especially when you just straight knuckleheads don't know nothing about nothing You know saying we learned as we went We worked on mad joints. We had mad records together like this other joint called medicine Which was on my album at the time, which was the first record that you went as big C And also it was like a record that was like we buzzing Cambridge for that record. You know saying the medicine I remember my first panel hollywood used to dump that shit all the time That was the shit since day one when reality hit if I don't make it I knew that rap would be it I'm coming at him with exactly the shit. Come on, man. That shit was yo seazy, man It was fucking undeniable. I think lyrics is super important still I think um I think you know if you want to sell records Um, this is which this is a record industry. So that is the goal, you know choruses are You know if you can't you have to be able to make a catchy a very good chorus And a good song overall, but um lyrics isn't yeah, it's very important to me as far as you know The music that I listen to I like some substance. It's right here is um, it's a t-shirt Part of the collection we um we're selling these for charity for the um marathon bombing that happened last year in our city They're doing a benefit concert So this is gonna um, this is a way for us to uh, give back, you know, give back to the city It's a real dope thing. Shout out one off a pair of bomb, you know Throwing the design on there and jpegs. We're designing it new age empire man. We're doing more than just music, you know You come some um, you know a background where where you know, you got you got ground hard You know I'm saying a fine guard at the end of the day. So Right now he knows he knows like this is it. There's a time we can't we can't mess around We can't go we can't go back. You know I'm saying I mean we could only go forward from right now You know I'm saying if you don't want it now me it's time to just stop it here and he really wants it so
