A Song Can Follow You for the Rest of Your Life
What happens when the music you create becomes bigger than a moment—and starts representing who you are?
In this episode of Not Just Music Podcast, Duan and Quincy Murdock slow down for a real conversation surrounding Quincy's new gospel record, This Is Called My Learn Song, and the personal growth, faith, lessons, and experiences behind it.
Quincy explains why this record isn't simply a switch to another genre. It's a reflection of where he is in life. He opens up about creating from a difficult place, stepping further into his faith, making music that represents what he truly believes, and being prepared to stand behind those words long after the song is released.
The conversation also goes behind the scenes of creating the record. Duan breaks down his approach as a producer—from choosing emotion over a technically perfect vocal take to layering background vocals, working with musicians, and making production decisions designed to strengthen Quincy's message instead of overpowering it.
Then the discussion moves into one of today's biggest conversations in music: AI. Duan explains the difference between allowing AI to create everything for you and using AI as an assistant to something you've already created. The message is simple: bring your own idea, voice, emotion, and creativity to the table first.
But everything eventually comes back to one point:
Be careful what you put into your music, because a song can follow you for the rest of your life.
Create something you can connect with. Create something you believe in. And create something you're willing to stand behind when people are still listening years from now.

Brand new music. A lot to be excited about. A
00:00:29.079 --> 00:00:31.800
lot of people don't get the opportunity to really
00:00:31.800 --> 00:00:34.679
drop during summertime right at the end of summertime,
00:00:34.719 --> 00:00:38.140
but it's a blessing to be so. So tell them what's
00:00:38.140 --> 00:00:39.780
going on, man. How's everything? What's the business?
00:00:39.960 --> 00:00:41.340
What's the business with you? What's the business
00:00:41.340 --> 00:00:42.939
with the music? What's the business with everything?
00:00:43.759 --> 00:00:46.659
Oh, what's good, man? What's good, people? Oh,
00:00:46.719 --> 00:00:50.240

00:00:50.240 --> 00:00:54.640
My Learned Song. By the time this drops, it should
00:00:54.640 --> 00:00:57.179
be out on all platforms. This is called My Learned
00:00:57.179 --> 00:01:01.630
Song. by Quincy Murdoch, featuring a lot of people
00:01:01.630 --> 00:01:04.730
that contributed to this album, this record,
00:01:04.810 --> 00:01:08.769
it's a gospel record. I am singing on it, it's
00:01:08.769 --> 00:01:13.909
a singing record. We singing on it, not just
00:01:13.909 --> 00:01:17.670
singing, we singing on that thing. Basically,
00:01:17.849 --> 00:01:20.650
we spoke on this previously, it's my testimony.
00:01:21.230 --> 00:01:25.829
I feel like it's a dope track, something that's
00:01:25.829 --> 00:01:28.109
meaningful. meaningful, you know what I'm saying,
00:01:28.209 --> 00:01:31.310
in a time like this where it's a lot of chaos
00:01:31.310 --> 00:01:35.430
going on, a lot of negativity going on. It's
00:01:35.430 --> 00:01:40.510
easy to be persuaded to do wrong. So to put something
00:01:40.510 --> 00:01:45.129
out positive and put something out real and organic
00:01:45.129 --> 00:01:49.450
is what should be appreciated and respected more
00:01:49.450 --> 00:01:53.189
now. So not just music. I'm sorry. This Come
00:01:53.189 --> 00:01:56.349
I Learn song. Coming coming out real soon. Well,
00:01:56.349 --> 00:01:59.510
it's gonna be it's out right now our platforms
00:01:59.510 --> 00:02:06.370
As you stated so this is gospel record yeah talked
00:02:06.370 --> 00:02:09.990
about it on ngmp beats It's a difference. This
00:02:09.990 --> 00:02:14.030
is different lane to being motivational positivity
00:02:14.030 --> 00:02:19.110
Where is your mindset now like are you in a positive
00:02:19.110 --> 00:02:22.330
mindset or you where you at with things now?
00:02:23.000 --> 00:02:28.419
Oh yeah, I'm way in a positive mindset. That's
00:02:28.419 --> 00:02:31.240
why I think this time I put this out was the
00:02:31.240 --> 00:02:35.460
perfect time. I didn't really put this out in
00:02:35.460 --> 00:02:39.780
a mindset of looking at what's going on, what's
00:02:39.780 --> 00:02:42.759
trending right now, or, oh, it's an open lane,
00:02:42.819 --> 00:02:45.879
let me jump in the gospel lane, et cetera. I
00:02:45.879 --> 00:02:48.759
didn't do it for that reason. Personally, I did
00:02:48.759 --> 00:02:52.639
it for a reason because Way long time ago you
00:02:52.639 --> 00:02:55.680
see interviews that I did. Um, I think it was
00:02:55.680 --> 00:02:58.419
Livingstone College I said my music is a reflection
00:02:58.419 --> 00:03:04.520
of me So where I'm at? Personally is what you
00:03:04.520 --> 00:03:07.879
would get out the music for me. I'm saying so
00:03:07.879 --> 00:03:11.740
That's basically why this is important and the
00:03:11.740 --> 00:03:14.580
song basically tells you where I'm at right now
00:03:14.580 --> 00:03:18.379
I'm saying like behind closed doors like mentally
00:03:18.379 --> 00:03:21.819
know I'm saying how I move Like that's where
00:03:21.819 --> 00:03:23.539
I'm at with it. You know what I'm saying? This
00:03:23.539 --> 00:03:25.819
song that y 'all will hear, my learning song.
00:03:26.819 --> 00:03:31.939
Coming from a learning place, your learning place
00:03:31.939 --> 00:03:34.219
has consisted of a lot of different changes.
00:03:35.080 --> 00:03:38.060
Can some of them be personalized, like in a sense
00:03:38.060 --> 00:03:41.219
of not just beyond just the song, but like in
00:03:41.219 --> 00:03:43.740
a personal way. You know what I'm saying? Like,
00:03:43.740 --> 00:03:45.979
cause there are a lot of grievances that people
00:03:45.979 --> 00:03:50.199
feel, you know, not even just like, Towards people
00:03:50.199 --> 00:03:53.439
like towards their self sometimes right and giving
00:03:53.439 --> 00:03:55.840
us up an actual chance to do something different
00:03:55.840 --> 00:03:58.819
That could fall off in this line can like be
00:03:58.819 --> 00:04:02.460
very different for for some to hear from you
00:04:02.460 --> 00:04:07.080
And you know, I've seen actual people come at
00:04:07.080 --> 00:04:11.259
you in ways that were Kind of different or against
00:04:11.259 --> 00:04:14.840
what you are in a sense in your mentality But
00:04:14.840 --> 00:04:17.360
for the sake of they'll listen to your music
00:04:17.360 --> 00:04:21.360
and grade you off your music So elaborate on
00:04:21.360 --> 00:04:24.100
that bro, what you what you think people elaborate
00:04:24.100 --> 00:04:26.339
on that? I'm just being honest. I mean, I've
00:04:26.339 --> 00:04:33.819
seen I've seen it before In real time so it's
00:04:33.819 --> 00:04:39.459
not like somebody It's not it's gonna be new
00:04:39.459 --> 00:04:43.339
for and they're not gonna be used to it and sometimes
00:04:43.339 --> 00:04:46.579
Getting used to things is that that's what it
00:04:46.579 --> 00:04:49.480
comes with. There's a change in it And it's not
00:04:49.480 --> 00:04:52.319
a mix of emotions or anything, but the thing
00:04:52.319 --> 00:04:56.660
is that some people, for that group of people
00:04:56.660 --> 00:04:59.740
that actually grade off of music, because there's
00:04:59.740 --> 00:05:04.699
a lot of people who grade off of music. And it's
00:05:04.699 --> 00:05:08.540
not like, some people, that's why when I asked
00:05:08.540 --> 00:05:10.459
you, some people make music from their heart.
00:05:10.800 --> 00:05:12.300
And you could tell the song was a little bit
00:05:12.300 --> 00:05:15.779
different the way that it was being presented
00:05:15.779 --> 00:05:18.720
when you presented it to me. So when you presented
00:05:18.720 --> 00:05:26.220
it to me, I tried to paint a picture due to what
00:05:26.220 --> 00:05:28.259
somebody's going through. It was a difficult
00:05:28.259 --> 00:05:30.860
time when I came over them lyrics. It was a difficult
00:05:30.860 --> 00:05:35.639
time in my life. And I was speaking to myself
00:05:35.639 --> 00:05:39.399
thinking that, but the words, when I listened
00:05:39.399 --> 00:05:42.939
to it, I was speaking to the world. I'm speaking
00:05:42.939 --> 00:05:46.019
to myself to encourage myself in that song to
00:05:46.019 --> 00:05:48.800
uplift myself. Know what I'm saying? So that's
00:05:48.800 --> 00:05:51.079
really the mindset that I had writing the song.
00:05:51.480 --> 00:05:54.339
Like it was actually trying to build me up because
00:05:54.339 --> 00:05:57.139
I was at a dark place when I wrote that song
00:05:57.139 --> 00:06:01.360
and I listened to it. I'm like, man, this is
00:06:01.360 --> 00:06:03.500
speaking to everybody. You know what I'm saying?
00:06:03.620 --> 00:06:06.620
Somebody that could be in my situation, you know?
00:06:08.060 --> 00:06:11.800
So these these are things they are not. I know
00:06:11.800 --> 00:06:17.389
some even people who create. I mean, just whatever
00:06:17.389 --> 00:06:19.589
music they choose to create, you know, that's
00:06:19.589 --> 00:06:22.649
one thing that, you know, when they're first
00:06:22.649 --> 00:06:24.829
starting out, they don't sometimes have a mental
00:06:24.829 --> 00:06:27.129
picture of like what the picture is really gonna
00:06:27.129 --> 00:06:29.990
be like maybe five years from now, or maybe 10
00:06:29.990 --> 00:06:34.089
years from now. And it's not a bad thing to change.
00:06:35.209 --> 00:06:38.889
That's a simple, it's a simple hard task that
00:06:38.889 --> 00:06:41.250
a lot of people aren't willing to do. What can
00:06:41.250 --> 00:06:44.699
I say to this, bro? I don't necessarily think
00:06:44.699 --> 00:06:47.180
that this was a change to me. I think this always
00:06:47.180 --> 00:06:50.100
been my calling, bro. I think it's always been
00:06:50.100 --> 00:06:54.120
my calling and me not going head first into it,
00:06:54.279 --> 00:06:57.939
what God was wanting me to do and what was my
00:06:57.939 --> 00:07:01.540
calling to do. I've always put God in my songs.
00:07:02.420 --> 00:07:05.980
You know, like I've always said, I'm a man of
00:07:05.980 --> 00:07:08.040
God. I've talked to you personally, like, you
00:07:08.040 --> 00:07:11.480
know how I move, bro. The outside world like
00:07:11.480 --> 00:07:13.360
you say they'll see things and they'll judge
00:07:13.360 --> 00:07:16.259
you off that but they don't personally know you
00:07:16.259 --> 00:07:19.720
as a person and This is another thing to answer
00:07:19.720 --> 00:07:21.160
that question because you say a lot of people
00:07:21.160 --> 00:07:24.399
come come at me differently cuz how my music
00:07:24.399 --> 00:07:28.220
and Movie and all that is this is the thing and
00:07:28.220 --> 00:07:32.480
I'm gonna get real personal. Uh When it's coming
00:07:32.480 --> 00:07:34.879
from your heart when it's something that you
00:07:34.879 --> 00:07:37.879
believe in and it's who you are You don't really
00:07:37.879 --> 00:07:40.970
care about what they think no more Yeah, yeah,
00:07:40.970 --> 00:07:45.990
you can have any idea you think Quincy Murdoch
00:07:45.990 --> 00:07:49.129
is but when you know in your heart who you are
00:07:49.129 --> 00:07:52.389
and what you what you stand by that's all that
00:07:52.389 --> 00:07:55.670
matters and I'm gonna continue to put out music
00:07:55.670 --> 00:07:58.990
like this because if that's who I am I'm a content
00:07:58.990 --> 00:08:01.310
is gonna show on my art now What do you think
00:08:01.310 --> 00:08:04.170
it's a game or not? That's you at the end of
00:08:04.170 --> 00:08:07.389
the day. God knows my heart I know my heart and
00:08:07.389 --> 00:08:11.389
I'm gonna just continue to put out what I believe
00:08:11.389 --> 00:08:13.930
in. Like I said, I don't know how to fake it.
00:08:13.970 --> 00:08:16.689
I can't be somebody that I'm not. You know what
00:08:16.689 --> 00:08:19.050
I'm saying? And I think starting from the beginning
00:08:19.050 --> 00:08:23.610
till now, y 'all see I've never changed up. I've
00:08:23.610 --> 00:08:25.750
never changed up. I've been in the same queue.
00:08:26.149 --> 00:08:27.870
You know what I'm saying? And now I'm just stepping
00:08:27.870 --> 00:08:30.470
out a little bit more on my faith. Like, yeah,
00:08:30.470 --> 00:08:34.190
this has always been in me, but I never probably
00:08:34.190 --> 00:08:37.629
broadcasted to how God wanted me to do it. I've
00:08:37.629 --> 00:08:40.600
shown little simple snippets you know I'm saying
00:08:40.600 --> 00:08:43.220
but now I think it's a point to where it's like
00:08:43.220 --> 00:08:46.580
I think it's time like my life personally what
00:08:46.580 --> 00:08:50.379
I see going on in the world you know like uh
00:08:50.379 --> 00:08:53.019
you got the dirt case going on the street stuff
00:08:53.019 --> 00:08:55.379
like the streets are dead people streets are
00:08:55.379 --> 00:09:00.679
dead people and like things are happening you
00:09:00.679 --> 00:09:04.000
know things are changing the street and that's
00:09:04.000 --> 00:09:07.389
what I'm saying I want y 'all to pay attention
00:09:07.389 --> 00:09:10.330
to these trails, this dirt trail in particular.
00:09:11.090 --> 00:09:14.070
See how the streets are. This is really how the
00:09:14.070 --> 00:09:16.809
streets are. These entertainers, these rappers,
00:09:17.389 --> 00:09:20.710
these people that rap about that, they only tell
00:09:20.710 --> 00:09:23.470
y 'all the good part. But y 'all don't know how
00:09:23.470 --> 00:09:26.309
it is when your friend is up there that you were
00:09:26.309 --> 00:09:29.129
slidin' with. Best friend and you was givin'
00:09:29.129 --> 00:09:31.769
him money. 12 years when he was locked up, point
00:09:31.769 --> 00:09:33.850
the finger at you and say, oh, he was the head
00:09:33.850 --> 00:09:37.850
man. He was he he the one that made me do this.
00:09:38.070 --> 00:09:42.570
Think about it. Grown ups blaming other people
00:09:42.570 --> 00:09:44.429
for making them do something. Nobody can make
00:09:44.429 --> 00:09:47.269
you do anything you don't want to do. You know
00:09:47.269 --> 00:09:49.690
what I'm saying? So that's the world we live
00:09:49.690 --> 00:09:52.309
in. So for that fact, I think this is the right
00:09:52.309 --> 00:09:56.450
time for me to put my message because. Well,
00:09:56.529 --> 00:09:59.289
what line what line we gonna take? We don't we
00:09:59.289 --> 00:10:01.570
don't seen the street line. We see where that
00:10:01.570 --> 00:10:06.379
take you. Streets is dead, bro. You know what
00:10:06.379 --> 00:10:13.580
I'm saying? These are golden reasons why what
00:10:13.580 --> 00:10:17.659
you're doing, you know, people who make music,
00:10:17.820 --> 00:10:21.419
people who create music, that mental picture
00:10:21.419 --> 00:10:24.899
that you have in your head, sometimes you have
00:10:24.899 --> 00:10:27.580
to make it make sense for you. Can't just like
00:10:27.580 --> 00:10:31.620
sometimes take this big path to try to, you know,
00:10:31.840 --> 00:10:35.470
shape shift your way into a position. You don't
00:10:35.470 --> 00:10:39.009
have to do that. You can continue to be yourself.
00:10:39.110 --> 00:10:41.769
You can do what's in your heart. You can play
00:10:41.769 --> 00:10:43.870
it how you feel it. You can sing it how you feel
00:10:43.870 --> 00:10:47.169
it. You can rap it how you feel it. Just remember
00:10:47.169 --> 00:10:48.610
the representation. It's important, though. What
00:10:48.610 --> 00:10:51.350
you say is important, though. Yeah, your representation
00:10:51.350 --> 00:10:52.789
and where it's going to come out your mouth.
00:10:52.950 --> 00:10:55.029
They're using them same lyrics against Dirk in
00:10:55.029 --> 00:10:56.789
that courtroom right now when he was talking
00:10:56.789 --> 00:10:58.830
about sliding and this and that. So think about
00:10:58.830 --> 00:11:02.470
you talking about God representing God, representing
00:11:02.470 --> 00:11:06.519
positivity. uh you know speaking the life in
00:11:06.519 --> 00:11:09.179
the people instead of death think about that
00:11:09.179 --> 00:11:12.340
message that'll get pushed just as much as they
00:11:12.340 --> 00:11:15.240
push the negative so that's my goal that's why
00:11:15.240 --> 00:11:18.220
i think i come i slide in i'm saying where i
00:11:18.220 --> 00:11:23.860
fit in yeah and that's uh most times i'm seeing
00:11:23.860 --> 00:11:29.000
the the defying people now and this is this is
00:11:29.000 --> 00:11:32.419
what i mean by defy you know like the shift in
00:11:32.590 --> 00:11:36.710
the way music is taking changes now and how people
00:11:36.710 --> 00:11:42.789
have become irritable to music due to the sake
00:11:42.789 --> 00:11:46.429
of what AI has presented, you know, with music
00:11:46.429 --> 00:11:49.730
and what music is, how the changes are from people
00:11:49.730 --> 00:11:51.629
who can, you know, really, really, really know
00:11:51.629 --> 00:11:53.110
how to get in the studio and make music versus
00:11:53.110 --> 00:11:56.809
people just prompting a song. So, you know, I'm
00:11:56.809 --> 00:12:00.230
glad I kind of got into both fields of this so
00:12:00.230 --> 00:12:03.700
I can understand Where the mix -up is because
00:12:03.700 --> 00:12:05.360
there's a lot of mix -up just like in the sake
00:12:05.360 --> 00:12:08.240
of you just speaking of you're making songs They
00:12:08.240 --> 00:12:10.860
come from your heart some people don't know how
00:12:10.860 --> 00:12:14.720
to make a song Like that to come from their heart
00:12:14.720 --> 00:12:18.220
to be you know to make it personally driven To
00:12:18.220 --> 00:12:21.120
be what it is some people can prompt it to be
00:12:21.120 --> 00:12:23.519
that way But the thing that a lot of the things
00:12:23.519 --> 00:12:26.159
is this mixing people up a lot of people are
00:12:26.159 --> 00:12:29.200
looking for a real person But sometimes this
00:12:29.200 --> 00:12:33.190
music y 'all It's just gonna be a situation of
00:12:33.190 --> 00:12:35.330
you're getting something from what somebody think
00:12:35.330 --> 00:12:37.610
is from their heart Sometimes sometimes it's
00:12:37.610 --> 00:12:39.769
not a thing of people just looking for a fast
00:12:39.769 --> 00:12:42.870
way to get it But some people really are taking
00:12:42.870 --> 00:12:45.629
the time to put time and effort into these words
00:12:45.629 --> 00:12:48.129
and things You know, even if it was a prompt,
00:12:48.190 --> 00:12:50.250
but the thing is what we got to realize music
00:12:50.250 --> 00:12:53.389
is always gonna be music Though the value of
00:12:53.389 --> 00:12:57.610
music has switched a lot It switched a lot. It's
00:12:57.610 --> 00:13:01.240
crazy how much a song And the value of music
00:13:01.240 --> 00:13:05.480
goes between a distributor and you. You feel
00:13:05.480 --> 00:13:08.139
that your music is worth this, but the distributor
00:13:08.139 --> 00:13:10.820
feels like your music is down here. That's the
00:13:10.820 --> 00:13:13.379
value of how you should look at what they think
00:13:13.379 --> 00:13:16.779
about the value of music. If they feel that you're
00:13:16.779 --> 00:13:20.159
down here and you feel that you're up here, you
00:13:20.159 --> 00:13:22.259
have to kind of create that own space for yourself.
00:13:22.279 --> 00:13:23.840
That means you're gonna have to separate yourself
00:13:23.840 --> 00:13:26.500
from what everybody else has did and be you.
00:13:27.029 --> 00:13:29.809
That's what basically Q is doing. He's being
00:13:29.809 --> 00:13:33.250
him. He's becoming more of this. It's from my
00:13:33.250 --> 00:13:37.070
heart. The thing what people forget is, even
00:13:37.070 --> 00:13:41.129
if it is gonna be some music that's going to
00:13:41.129 --> 00:13:46.429
be totally against what you feel, I hope that
00:13:46.429 --> 00:13:49.250
it's one of those things where it's a thing that's
00:13:49.250 --> 00:13:51.389
gonna be something that's a clarifying moment.
00:13:51.529 --> 00:13:53.029
It's nothing something that's gonna chase you
00:13:53.029 --> 00:13:55.470
for the rest of your life. Because a song can
00:13:55.470 --> 00:13:57.570
chase you for the rest of soon as it's out there
00:13:57.570 --> 00:13:59.769
a song can chase you for the rest of your life
00:13:59.769 --> 00:14:02.789
Just offer once one thing you said in that song.
00:14:02.809 --> 00:14:04.490
It could chase you for the rest of your life
00:14:04.490 --> 00:14:10.429
in a podcast I'm ready. I'm ready for it cuz
00:14:10.429 --> 00:14:12.429
that's how much I believe in this record That's
00:14:12.429 --> 00:14:15.990
how much I believe in every word that I see and
00:14:15.990 --> 00:14:18.450
that's why I said man on this one I got to come
00:14:18.450 --> 00:14:21.730
with it, you know with them lyrics and the singing
00:14:22.159 --> 00:14:24.759
You know, when we done tapes, you say, bro, you
00:14:24.759 --> 00:14:27.779
want to sing? We gonna sing. That's why I was
00:14:27.779 --> 00:14:30.940
like, nah, this gotta be perfect. You know what
00:14:30.940 --> 00:14:33.580
I'm saying? Like, these words I'm saying, I gotta
00:14:33.580 --> 00:14:35.879
make sure I'm hitting these riffs, these notes.
00:14:36.399 --> 00:14:39.019
And I gotta get that emotion where they feel
00:14:39.019 --> 00:14:40.779
it, what I'm saying. You know what I'm saying?
00:14:40.919 --> 00:14:43.500
And you talked about that too. Like, they gotta
00:14:43.500 --> 00:14:45.960
feel it. You know what I'm saying? That emotion.
00:14:47.179 --> 00:14:50.750
So, this is a real song, y 'all. This is a real
00:14:50.750 --> 00:14:54.169
song, and this is just a beginning. First of
00:14:54.169 --> 00:14:56.090
many things to expect from me. I'm telling you,
00:14:56.129 --> 00:14:58.409
once you hear this, it's going to be the vibe
00:14:58.409 --> 00:15:00.549
that I'm going to be on for now, I think. This
00:15:00.549 --> 00:15:04.370
is my calling. You know what I'm saying? Once
00:15:04.370 --> 00:15:09.649
y 'all hear this. So this is something I want
00:15:09.649 --> 00:15:12.750
to say, too. And this is for everybody in this
00:15:12.750 --> 00:15:16.330
music lane, too. Remember the one thing we just
00:15:16.330 --> 00:15:18.990
said, speaking on, you know, Making sure you're
00:15:18.990 --> 00:15:22.429
making music that you can connect with basically
00:15:22.429 --> 00:15:25.149
that's basically just the same Make music that
00:15:25.149 --> 00:15:28.070
you can connect with if you can't connect with
00:15:28.070 --> 00:15:31.210
your own music There is a big huge problem right
00:15:31.210 --> 00:15:32.570
there. That's the first problem right there.
00:15:32.570 --> 00:15:34.110
If you can't connect with your own music It's
00:15:34.110 --> 00:15:36.929
never going to connect with anybody else Never
00:15:36.929 --> 00:15:39.970
in a sense if you ain't thinking like okay, let
00:15:39.970 --> 00:15:43.470
somebody hear it and If the case is you're thinking
00:15:43.470 --> 00:15:45.409
gonna let somebody hear it make sure it's connected
00:15:45.409 --> 00:15:49.600
with you So you just let somebody hear so next
00:15:49.600 --> 00:15:54.519
thing is the the confidence, you know You have
00:15:54.519 --> 00:15:58.679
to have a confident mentality That can spark
00:15:58.679 --> 00:16:01.200
somebody's interest, you know, even if you don't
00:16:01.200 --> 00:16:04.139
know where the song is like and you might not
00:16:04.139 --> 00:16:07.759
think that that This song is like people like
00:16:07.759 --> 00:16:09.940
man. I ain't heard it before. I heard this before
00:16:09.940 --> 00:16:12.460
from you Okay, so if you heard it before for
00:16:12.460 --> 00:16:14.639
me, that's gonna make you listen to see that's
00:16:14.639 --> 00:16:16.710
the biggest piece because you ain't heard it
00:16:16.710 --> 00:16:19.529
from. Now you're going to listen to it now. That's
00:16:19.529 --> 00:16:22.710
going to create that separation from what I was
00:16:22.710 --> 00:16:25.149
doing, because you already thinking like, oh,
00:16:25.149 --> 00:16:28.350
I'm going to do it. And I didn't do it. I'm not
00:16:28.350 --> 00:16:30.309
giving you 25 more songs of that. I just gave
00:16:30.309 --> 00:16:32.169
you something that was totally in left field.
00:16:32.509 --> 00:16:34.350
That's why it's important for this product to
00:16:34.350 --> 00:16:38.629
be the best. Because they know they are going
00:16:38.629 --> 00:16:40.950
to listen because they're not expecting all this
00:16:40.950 --> 00:16:44.649
something new gospel. So when they hear it, when
00:16:44.649 --> 00:16:48.720
it when they come on and make sure it's hitting.
00:16:49.179 --> 00:16:53.240
You know what I'm saying? So yeah, presentation
00:16:53.240 --> 00:16:55.820
is everything for that reason. When they check
00:16:55.820 --> 00:16:59.440
it out, grab them right when they start, man.
00:17:00.580 --> 00:17:05.059
It's an art to music. People need to learn the
00:17:05.059 --> 00:17:07.500
art of music to be able to create music that
00:17:07.500 --> 00:17:11.000
can get a connection like that. You know, some
00:17:11.000 --> 00:17:16.789
don't know. the disappointments of the connections
00:17:16.789 --> 00:17:21.349
and how things can, you know, one ugly thing
00:17:21.349 --> 00:17:24.230
can turn a song to something that was totally
00:17:24.230 --> 00:17:30.289
good. For me, like the song was totally an idea.
00:17:30.569 --> 00:17:33.769
We created it all from scratch, bro. When it
00:17:33.769 --> 00:17:37.690
was, but see, I already had a vision of what
00:17:37.690 --> 00:17:42.789
it was going to be. before I even started the
00:17:42.789 --> 00:17:47.230
whole situation. How you hear it come in is exactly
00:17:47.230 --> 00:17:50.410
how I heard it. I just had to get it to that
00:17:50.410 --> 00:17:54.130
point. I needed people. I needed people. Maurice,
00:17:54.789 --> 00:17:59.690
I needed Trina, Millie. I needed them to be able
00:17:59.690 --> 00:18:04.420
to create it. Trina and Millie. Trina and Millie.
00:18:04.420 --> 00:18:06.339
And Millie, yep. That about Trina and Millie.
00:18:06.880 --> 00:18:08.799
They take the time, they take the time. Those
00:18:08.799 --> 00:18:10.559
are the singers on it, the background singers.
00:18:10.579 --> 00:18:14.519
Maurice did the guitar. Amazing. Maurice Duffy
00:18:14.519 --> 00:18:16.920
is somebody I've been depending on for like two
00:18:16.920 --> 00:18:20.759
years now. I do a lot of, get a lot of guitar
00:18:20.759 --> 00:18:24.420
work from him. Like a lot of guitar work. And
00:18:24.420 --> 00:18:28.359
it's nothing, nothing short of lame. He's always
00:18:28.359 --> 00:18:31.559
amazing. He sends me wood and I ask for, You
00:18:31.559 --> 00:18:34.039
know, I could just send him one, get one song.
00:18:34.539 --> 00:18:36.759
He could send me back like six, seven, eight
00:18:36.759 --> 00:18:40.119
ideas sometimes. And I can just choose and pick,
00:18:40.119 --> 00:18:42.240
you know. And I had a couple of other guitar
00:18:42.240 --> 00:18:47.200
players too. But the thing is, is that, that
00:18:47.200 --> 00:18:50.079
southern, to that southern feel. And the crazy,
00:18:50.200 --> 00:18:53.180
he's not even southern. He's not even southern.
00:18:53.619 --> 00:18:55.299
He's, he would have got somebody from downhill.
00:18:56.460 --> 00:19:01.019
He's literally, he's literally in Africa. He's
00:19:01.019 --> 00:19:02.460
in Africa. That's where he's from. He's from
00:19:02.460 --> 00:19:05.519
Africa. Shut up, Africa. He's living in Africa.
00:19:05.680 --> 00:19:07.359
That's where he's from, but he lives in Africa
00:19:07.359 --> 00:19:10.059
still. I want to tell you this too, man. Them
00:19:10.059 --> 00:19:13.880
back, them singers sounded so amazing, bro. I'm
00:19:13.880 --> 00:19:15.819
not just saying this on way. I'm just I'm saying
00:19:15.819 --> 00:19:18.940
being real. I was going to ask you because before
00:19:18.940 --> 00:19:21.779
I was like, man, it sounds so good. Is this AI
00:19:21.779 --> 00:19:24.799
singer? What you got to realize. I'm like, bro,
00:19:24.839 --> 00:19:29.420
because they sound good, bro. The idea, the idea
00:19:29.420 --> 00:19:34.779
that What is the case of what is created? Yeah,
00:19:35.019 --> 00:19:39.839
the what I took that is a vocal nature, right?
00:19:39.839 --> 00:19:45.279
I'm layering it with strings another another
00:19:45.279 --> 00:19:51.720
keyboarded choir so you got a real vocals stacked
00:19:51.720 --> 00:19:57.000
with Sims keyboards things of coral nature that
00:19:57.000 --> 00:20:03.200
would bring like this Huge, how can I say? Instead
00:20:03.200 --> 00:20:05.099
of taking and say, you got two or three people,
00:20:05.240 --> 00:20:08.519
instead of saying I had 20 people to record,
00:20:08.839 --> 00:20:11.119
I made it feel like it was 20 people record.
00:20:11.519 --> 00:20:13.000
That's what I'm saying. That's why I thought
00:20:13.000 --> 00:20:17.019
it was AI. I thought I was like, man. Even with
00:20:17.019 --> 00:20:21.680
AI, even with AI, AI can do, and this is just
00:20:21.680 --> 00:20:24.960
to add, to talk about AI. AI can do stuff like
00:20:24.960 --> 00:20:28.869
that too. But see, the thing is, You have to
00:20:28.869 --> 00:20:33.029
give AI what you want it to do sometimes. Like,
00:20:33.049 --> 00:20:35.329
you can't just go in and be like, I'm gonna give
00:20:35.329 --> 00:20:39.410
you some words, prompt you some words or prompt
00:20:39.410 --> 00:20:41.970
you something to the nature of and be like, here.
00:20:42.690 --> 00:20:44.609
So everybody singing on this, people, we want
00:20:44.609 --> 00:20:48.289
to have a vote. So even if you did use it. So
00:20:48.289 --> 00:20:50.869
this is a this is a secret, too, for those that
00:20:50.869 --> 00:20:52.769
do use AI, because I've talked about AI on here
00:20:52.769 --> 00:20:57.089
before. So if you do use AI, your cheat sheet
00:20:57.279 --> 00:20:59.339
And this is the cheat that a lot of people don't
00:20:59.339 --> 00:21:04.579
do. Take a real vocal that you created in a song.
00:21:04.700 --> 00:21:10.700
Take your real song. Tell AI that you want it
00:21:10.700 --> 00:21:27.819
to make my vocal sound better. who loves to drink
00:21:27.819 --> 00:21:30.359

my vocal my lead vocal sound better I want you

00:22:25.480 --> 00:22:29.160
it will do in most cases 90 % of the time is

going to build something around your lead vocal
00:22:31.940 --> 00:22:35.119
to make it be something bigger than what it is
00:22:35.119 --> 00:22:39.339
don't just go and tell AI to create it for you
00:22:39.339 --> 00:22:43.299
you be the person to do it meaning you don't
00:22:43.299 --> 00:22:46.740
want it to be AI that black box with the AI on
00:22:46.740 --> 00:22:49.980
it you wanted to be AI assisted if anything AI
00:22:49.980 --> 00:22:52.779
assisted is what you want it to be that is the
00:22:52.779 --> 00:22:56.319
cheat Use something of real nature y 'all stop
00:22:56.319 --> 00:22:59.220
telling the computer to do it you be the person
00:22:59.220 --> 00:23:02.299
to go in the studio Create the vibe and then
00:23:02.299 --> 00:23:05.059
you go back and give it to AI if that's the choice
00:23:05.059 --> 00:23:07.160
that you choose to make But if you don't have
00:23:07.160 --> 00:23:10.579
like ready musicians get top players bass players
00:23:10.579 --> 00:23:14.039
drummers all of this stuff You have to start
00:23:14.039 --> 00:23:16.640
with something. You can't just go at AI with
00:23:16.640 --> 00:23:19.779
zero. Come with something. Come with a book and
00:23:19.779 --> 00:23:22.240
your words and your vocal. Get you a microphone
00:23:22.240 --> 00:23:25.279
or get your phone. Record what you think that
00:23:25.279 --> 00:23:28.420
it's supposed to sound like. There, you've already
00:23:28.420 --> 00:23:31.779
beat AI. That's the cheat right there. I shouldn't
00:23:31.779 --> 00:23:33.720
have gave it away on you, but that's the cheat
00:23:33.720 --> 00:23:37.339
right there. Because I was wondering, I was like,
00:23:37.460 --> 00:23:41.509
man, this sounds amazing. That's all sounds so
00:23:41.509 --> 00:23:44.809
good. It's and now that's why I want to I want
00:23:44.809 --> 00:23:49.309
to see an episode with them on here. Yeah, I
00:23:49.309 --> 00:23:53.329
just want to see what their their site was and
00:23:53.329 --> 00:23:55.609
their mind if I could get if I could get Trina
00:23:55.609 --> 00:23:57.630
and Millie because they don't they don't do they
00:23:57.630 --> 00:24:02.730
don't like to do the spotlight situation. Maurice
00:24:02.730 --> 00:24:06.869
Maurice is the process. I'm gonna tell you the
00:24:06.869 --> 00:24:08.829
process and I can get you out of process. That's
00:24:08.829 --> 00:24:12.349
why I just told y 'all, you get an idea. What
00:24:12.349 --> 00:24:17.430
I did was I sung an idea to them. Flat how I
00:24:17.430 --> 00:24:21.029
wanted it. You've already got the lead track.
00:24:21.470 --> 00:24:23.509
This is called my learn song and tell you what
00:24:23.509 --> 00:24:26.529
I learned was a knowledge of understanding. Now
00:24:26.529 --> 00:24:29.450
I'm standing firm. This is called my learn song.
00:24:29.829 --> 00:24:32.630
You give them what you want. You can't you got
00:24:32.630 --> 00:24:35.750
to have an idea. You gave the idea with the lead.
00:24:36.009 --> 00:24:39.450
Only thing I'm doing is enhancing what you're
00:24:39.450 --> 00:24:42.769
doing and driving home what you're doing I could
00:24:42.769 --> 00:24:45.250
have taken it a couple other directions that
00:24:45.250 --> 00:24:47.289
I had there were certain other pieces that were
00:24:47.289 --> 00:24:50.690
there But they were really overpowering going
00:24:50.690 --> 00:24:53.769
it was actually too much right what I wanted
00:24:53.769 --> 00:24:57.670
it to do was Enhance what you were doing. I didn't
00:24:57.670 --> 00:25:02.339
want anything to disturb That what you were saying.
00:25:02.579 --> 00:25:04.619
I need to be the lead. That was what you needed.
00:25:04.619 --> 00:25:07.400
I'm getting that backing. The backing that's
00:25:07.400 --> 00:25:12.299
pushing you. That was the whole entire point
00:25:12.299 --> 00:25:15.460
to never take away from what the lead vocal was
00:25:15.460 --> 00:25:17.880
doing. I just wanted to bring elements that would
00:25:17.880 --> 00:25:20.559
make it sound better. Yeah. The only thing they
00:25:20.559 --> 00:25:23.240
had to do was just go home and do these takes.
00:25:23.380 --> 00:25:26.240
I gave the exact take what I just sung to you.
00:25:26.460 --> 00:25:31.569
That's exactly how I sung it. They know. notes,
00:25:31.569 --> 00:25:34.710
you know, they know they're, they know that I'm
00:25:34.710 --> 00:25:37.710
the tenor. They know they're alto, they know
00:25:37.710 --> 00:25:40.650
they're soprano. You get people who know what
00:25:40.650 --> 00:25:42.910
they're doing. Like I said, that makes the world
00:25:42.910 --> 00:25:45.650
so much easier. You don't have to go. They just
00:25:45.650 --> 00:25:51.450
send you the takes. I had about 25, 30 takes
00:25:51.450 --> 00:25:55.890
to go through to make it blend together. I mean,
00:25:55.910 --> 00:25:59.480
it was literally some pieces that were We're
00:25:59.480 --> 00:26:02.720
out of sync, that's why we use vocal sync. If
00:26:02.720 --> 00:26:05.920
anybody never heard of vocal sync, do a Google
00:26:05.920 --> 00:26:09.660
search, look up vocal sync, the plug -in, VST
00:26:09.660 --> 00:26:13.000
plug -in vocal sync. Go get it if you do not
00:26:13.000 --> 00:26:17.119
have it yet. You can line up one vocal, Q's lead
00:26:17.119 --> 00:26:20.359
vocal was the main vocal. All you had to do was
00:26:20.359 --> 00:26:24.339
follow, click the button, it'll align every syllable
00:26:24.339 --> 00:26:29.599
to the way what Q was saying it. So when I was
00:26:29.599 --> 00:26:31.660
like, when times got hard, I just hit my knees
00:26:31.660 --> 00:26:33.779
and prayed. Was down and now they told me you
00:26:33.779 --> 00:26:36.980
will be okay. Like how you, you know, like the
00:26:36.980 --> 00:26:42.000
takes, how did you break down the vocals? The
00:26:42.000 --> 00:26:46.920
ones that I was taking. You made it sound like
00:26:46.920 --> 00:26:51.109
something. You know what I'm saying? The time
00:26:51.109 --> 00:26:53.769
and you and you listening to all the tapes that
00:26:53.769 --> 00:26:57.269
we did So you talking about it was probably like
00:26:57.269 --> 00:27:03.349
in all all the tracks I had was probably a hundred
00:27:03.349 --> 00:27:08.990
Tracks and all via everything I received so you
00:27:08.990 --> 00:27:14.869
talking I was taking our play with the guitar
00:27:14.869 --> 00:27:18.890
or I play it with the keyboard, or I play it
00:27:18.890 --> 00:27:21.130
with just the pad, or I play it with just the
00:27:21.130 --> 00:27:26.549
organ. First verse was pretty much my main course.
00:27:26.849 --> 00:27:31.250
I didn't really touch verse two. I picked one
00:27:31.250 --> 00:27:35.369
take that you did for verse two. That was probably
00:27:35.369 --> 00:27:39.549
the best one I would say that you did. So, yeah.
00:27:39.650 --> 00:27:41.849
So you didn't even have to edit nothing in the
00:27:41.849 --> 00:27:43.990
second verse. It was only part that I edited
00:27:43.990 --> 00:27:46.650
in the second verse was adding in the feelings.
00:27:47.330 --> 00:27:51.289
Parts. But the first verse, the first verse took
00:27:51.289 --> 00:27:55.369
me the first day took me three days. The first
00:27:55.369 --> 00:27:58.509
day. And I see the reason why it took me three
00:27:58.509 --> 00:28:00.329
days. It took me three. It might have took me
00:28:00.329 --> 00:28:04.569
four days. I say four days because the reason
00:28:04.569 --> 00:28:09.069
being once I got the singing. The fill is that
00:28:09.069 --> 00:28:12.059
will come in. You don't want no flat part. The
00:28:12.059 --> 00:28:14.720
reason why I wasn't, and the reason why I didn't
00:28:14.720 --> 00:28:18.460
use a lot of your lead takes in that first verse
00:28:18.460 --> 00:28:21.240
was because I had the background and I'm like,
00:28:21.400 --> 00:28:25.440
whoa, okay, something has to leave, some could
00:28:25.440 --> 00:28:28.380
stay, but most of the parts I wanted it to just
00:28:28.380 --> 00:28:32.000
compliment what was going on. So the way you
00:28:32.000 --> 00:28:36.500
were singing it in some of the takes weren't
00:28:36.500 --> 00:28:39.990
captivating enough. to emotional. Yeah, it wasn't.
00:28:40.029 --> 00:28:42.250
They weren't. They weren't gluing together. It
00:28:42.250 --> 00:28:46.630
just yeah. And to say sonically, to hear it.
00:28:46.630 --> 00:28:48.490
Sometimes it was just like, OK, they just didn't
00:28:48.490 --> 00:28:52.029
sound like a lot. Yeah, it just didn't sound
00:28:52.029 --> 00:28:55.490
good. It needed more energy more. Tell me it
00:28:55.490 --> 00:28:59.289
will be OK. Yeah. Like, you know, more tone to
00:28:59.289 --> 00:29:03.400
it. Like, tell me it will be OK. Emotional. And
00:29:03.400 --> 00:29:07.240
the emotion, that's it. That's totally it. The
00:29:07.240 --> 00:29:11.759
emotion of the song changed once I started listening
00:29:11.759 --> 00:29:15.440
to the tapes. That one sounded way better than
00:29:15.440 --> 00:29:18.319
this one right here. But then the emotion and
00:29:18.319 --> 00:29:21.960
the feeling though was in this one. And I had
00:29:21.960 --> 00:29:24.259
to make a decision. The emotion and the feeling
00:29:24.259 --> 00:29:27.099
part was what I did 90 % of the time in that
00:29:27.099 --> 00:29:30.279
first verse. It was a lot of emotion. So I use
00:29:30.279 --> 00:29:32.740
the emotional parts versus using the ones where
00:29:32.740 --> 00:29:35.980
you just sung good. You get me? Because sometimes
00:29:35.980 --> 00:29:39.859
singing good doesn't equal emotion. And it's
00:29:39.859 --> 00:29:42.099
like, OK, yeah, I felt that. So just to say that
00:29:42.099 --> 00:29:44.180
I sat there and I'm just listening to it with
00:29:44.180 --> 00:29:47.859
a guitar and you sang it, no background vocals
00:29:47.859 --> 00:29:51.460
or nothing. And I'm like, yeah, that's it. Because
00:29:51.460 --> 00:29:54.099
it has to make sense. And you're saying I'm going
00:29:54.099 --> 00:29:56.559
to make a feeling. A feeling called out for them.
00:29:56.640 --> 00:29:59.160
OK, that's the feeling I want to feel if I if
00:29:59.160 --> 00:30:02.180
it's me, if it's me saying I'm saying it, that's
00:30:02.180 --> 00:30:04.200
how I would want to sing it to somebody. So that's
00:30:04.200 --> 00:30:06.680
how I chose it as if you approach this record.
00:30:06.740 --> 00:30:09.559
So you approach this record like basically it
00:30:09.559 --> 00:30:11.720
was your record personally, like how you how
00:30:11.720 --> 00:30:16.019
you add your personal personal. It's not. The
00:30:16.019 --> 00:30:19.039
thing is, is I want to always remember a song.
00:30:19.500 --> 00:30:22.559
This is a point producers don't think of that
00:30:22.559 --> 00:30:25.140
they just. No, they just want to put something
00:30:25.140 --> 00:30:28.579
out there. Not knowing this is their name on
00:30:28.579 --> 00:30:32.019
the line to all these goods are the goods are
00:30:32.019 --> 00:30:34.380
all these people that play a part. If the record
00:30:34.380 --> 00:30:37.180
look bad, it look bad as a whole. You know, that's
00:30:37.180 --> 00:30:40.099
why it looked bad on everybody. So, you know,
00:30:40.099 --> 00:30:42.519
that's how a lot of people don't think like you
00:30:42.519 --> 00:30:46.740
just in that position, producer, man, mixing
00:30:46.740 --> 00:30:50.099
master. You know, that's the best. And this is
00:30:50.099 --> 00:30:53.180
something that I talked about on NJMP beats.
00:30:53.740 --> 00:30:56.619
Like you got to take it serious somewhere. And
00:30:56.619 --> 00:31:00.660
like I said, like you're taking it serious from
00:31:00.660 --> 00:31:03.500
your heart. When you do stuff from your heart,
00:31:03.519 --> 00:31:05.640
you got to equal somebody's energy with their
00:31:05.640 --> 00:31:08.859
record. So the record got to have balance all
00:31:08.859 --> 00:31:11.519
the way across. If you're going to work with
00:31:11.519 --> 00:31:13.779
somebody, you got to take the instances of what
00:31:13.779 --> 00:31:16.740
they are and who they are. You have to kind of
00:31:16.740 --> 00:31:19.720
build a picture, a mental picture. or what you
00:31:19.720 --> 00:31:23.119
might think it will be, if you get this back,
00:31:23.599 --> 00:31:26.279
what do you think that I did with it? And what
00:31:26.279 --> 00:31:28.980
do you feel that I did with it is what I want
00:31:28.980 --> 00:31:31.220
you to think. I want you to feel like, did you
00:31:31.220 --> 00:31:34.740
use AI? Did you use, you know, what did you do?
00:31:35.000 --> 00:31:37.779
Like, how did you get it to that? Like, the idea
00:31:37.779 --> 00:31:40.460
I had though, literally, like I was saying, came
00:31:40.460 --> 00:31:43.559
from the jump. Literally, when you started singing
00:31:43.559 --> 00:31:47.029
it, The thing I felt like I felt like dad, yeah,
00:31:47.069 --> 00:31:48.769
I'm going to have to hit Maurice to die for help
00:31:48.769 --> 00:31:52.509
for this one. I got to hit him up because I got
00:31:52.509 --> 00:31:55.089
to have a guitar. I got to have a guitar player.
00:31:55.490 --> 00:31:57.549
That's the guy that I'm going to always say that
00:31:57.549 --> 00:31:59.670
most cases I'm going to go with him 90 percent
00:31:59.670 --> 00:32:02.849
of 95 percent of the time now because he matches.
00:32:03.390 --> 00:32:05.809
You know, like as an artist, you get those people
00:32:05.809 --> 00:32:09.569
that match. So like you say, match them up and
00:32:09.569 --> 00:32:12.069
just listen to that record. Everybody matched
00:32:12.069 --> 00:32:15.750
my vibe. I wouldn't want to have anybody different.
00:32:15.950 --> 00:32:18.589
Like, no guitarist, no singers, backup singer.
00:32:19.009 --> 00:32:21.130
Who was supposed to be on that record is on that
00:32:21.130 --> 00:32:25.509

Literally 40s bro. I got questions you being
00:33:50.359 --> 00:33:52.299
in your 40. You just recently had birthday you
00:33:52.299 --> 00:33:58.039
40 what three 43 Congratulations, man Like how
00:33:58.039 --> 00:34:01.839
would you? Like for entertainment you see the
00:34:01.839 --> 00:34:05.859
music like would you rely more on? See you have
00:34:05.859 --> 00:34:11.380
people talking about Spinnett, you know, Carissa,
00:34:12.980 --> 00:34:16.599
you got people like that. If that's really her,
00:34:17.559 --> 00:34:19.860
but it's a negative message, but if that's really
00:34:19.860 --> 00:34:24.679
how she lives, would you condone it? All right.
00:34:24.699 --> 00:34:29.900
So to answer the question that Q had, we kind
00:34:29.900 --> 00:34:32.239
of got cut off right there on the end. But to
00:34:32.239 --> 00:34:34.760
answer his question, a lot of times what I feel
00:34:35.699 --> 00:34:38.619
is the music that, especially now that it's being
00:34:38.619 --> 00:34:43.360
put out. Yeah, exactly. It's not saying that
00:34:43.360 --> 00:34:46.119
people will, that's why I said people need to
00:34:46.119 --> 00:34:49.800
create music that they can relate to versus saying,
00:34:50.260 --> 00:34:53.159
I'm just creating a vibe for the people to vibe
00:34:53.159 --> 00:34:57.139
to or to dance to or that type of situation.
00:34:57.239 --> 00:34:59.539
Because like I said early in this podcast, people
00:34:59.539 --> 00:35:02.559
paying attention to what you're saying. I don't
00:35:02.559 --> 00:35:04.809
care how much you try to have like, oh, This
00:35:04.809 --> 00:35:06.570
song ain't gonna follow me. This song is gonna
00:35:06.570 --> 00:35:10.949
follow you for the rest of your life. Just like
00:35:10.949 --> 00:35:14.869
with the Carisha song. She literally is going
00:35:14.869 --> 00:35:17.590
to have this song following her for the rest
00:35:17.590 --> 00:35:20.710
of her life. She may not look at it as anything,
00:35:20.789 --> 00:35:23.510
but they're always gonna constantly judge her
00:35:23.510 --> 00:35:25.590
just for that song. I mean, there's a lot of
00:35:25.590 --> 00:35:27.650
people sitting there vibing to it. But at the
00:35:27.650 --> 00:35:30.909
same time, there are things that I hope that
00:35:30.909 --> 00:35:35.679
she realizes that will... Come with it and sometimes
00:35:35.679 --> 00:35:40.139
it's going to be on a disappointing side So hopefully
00:35:40.139 --> 00:35:43.119
the disappointments don't you know slow her down
00:35:43.119 --> 00:35:45.900
Hopefully doesn't slow her down, you know, but
00:35:45.900 --> 00:35:49.039
at the end of the day Hopefully she can understand
00:35:49.039 --> 00:35:51.920
and hopefully everybody can understand Let's
00:35:51.920 --> 00:35:53.840
just create music that we can vibe to that we
00:35:53.840 --> 00:35:55.980
can write to that you can vibe to and write to
00:35:55.980 --> 00:35:58.460
as well And that can be something from your heart
00:35:58.460 --> 00:36:03.519
versus just you know matching the vibe We appreciate
00:36:03.519 --> 00:36:05.800
y 'all coming through again, Not Just Music Podcast.
00:36:05.920 --> 00:36:09.539
Remember, if you need help, ask for help. I always
00:36:09.539 --> 00:36:13.019
say this, ask for help. If you need help, ask
00:36:13.019 --> 00:36:17.440
for it. Don't latch onto it and don't overdo
00:36:17.440 --> 00:36:21.260
the help. Learn, get something from it. Move
00:36:21.260 --> 00:36:23.920
forward with it, grow from it on your own. You
00:36:23.920 --> 00:36:25.420
know, you don't wanna like always constantly
00:36:25.420 --> 00:36:26.860
put yourself in a position where you're just
00:36:26.860 --> 00:36:29.820
always asking for help, but at the same time,
00:36:29.820 --> 00:36:31.900
you know, asking for help, make sure it's value.
00:36:32.329 --> 00:36:34.550
Make sure it's valued help that you're asking
00:36:34.550 --> 00:36:39.730
for to get to a better situation. Autism community,
00:36:40.510 --> 00:36:42.349
disabilities community, I love y 'all as always.
00:36:43.289 --> 00:36:45.090
Always keep y 'all in my mind, always keep y

'all in my prayers, and it is everybody else
00:36:47.210 --> 00:36:51.150
too. If you're looking for help again, ask for
00:36:51.150 --> 00:36:52.869
it. There's a lot of help out here that's willing
00:36:52.869 --> 00:36:54.570
to give, and people are willing to give it to
00:36:54.570 --> 00:36:58.590
you. Not just music podcasts. I'm gonna play
00:36:58.590 --> 00:37:01.639

00:37:04.539 --> 00:37:06.519
