00:00:08.890 --> 00:00:10.890
to learn some stuff. Hopefully to give away some

00:00:10.890 --> 00:00:14.169
stuff that could hopefully enlighten everyone.

00:00:14.490 --> 00:00:17.390

so far? Everything's good man. Bless. Highly

00:00:22.050 --> 00:00:25.309
favorite. You know, just grinding. The grind

00:00:25.309 --> 00:00:30.149
don't stop. You know, grinding. Doing a lot with

00:00:30.149 --> 00:00:33.590
my kids, you know, I don't really dive into my

00:00:33.590 --> 00:00:37.310
personal and I'm saying but You know my girl

00:00:37.310 --> 00:00:43.170
just Had a first choir You know event, you know,

00:00:43.229 --> 00:00:45.090
she was singing in the choir and I was happy

00:00:45.090 --> 00:00:49.890
about that You know, I think she wants to do

00:00:49.890 --> 00:00:53.829
music like her dad. So it's always nice, you

00:00:53.829 --> 00:00:58.030
know, it's a blessing Don't force her to do anything.

00:00:58.030 --> 00:01:02.049
You know, I support her whatever she does Yeah,

00:01:02.049 --> 00:01:04.769
you know just doing a lot of family things, you

00:01:04.769 --> 00:01:08.049
know Stuff like that. It's been a good week.

00:01:08.090 --> 00:01:10.209
How about you man? How about you your kids and

00:01:10.209 --> 00:01:13.209
everything? Everybody good this way man. I've

00:01:13.209 --> 00:01:18.629
been just getting more and more acclimated to

00:01:18.629 --> 00:01:23.930
the work ethic of you know Making sure that as

00:01:23.930 --> 00:01:27.219
I said top of the year, making sure I touch this

00:01:27.219 --> 00:01:30.620
stuff every single day to make it make sense

00:01:30.620 --> 00:01:36.519
and I'm starting to understand why. Musically,

00:01:36.879 --> 00:01:40.219
you know, making time for that, getting the chance

00:01:40.219 --> 00:01:42.599
to add that and implement that more and more

00:01:42.599 --> 00:01:45.459
in a week's time now has been more, it feels

00:01:45.459 --> 00:01:50.200
healthy doing it again. It's not like a, it's

00:01:50.200 --> 00:01:55.269
more organic feel versus I'm matching a vibe

00:01:55.269 --> 00:01:57.370
or I'm doing something for somebody else. It's

00:01:57.370 --> 00:02:01.269
just different. So there's this different type

00:02:01.269 --> 00:02:06.609
of open space to be free and not feel like a

00:02:06.609 --> 00:02:12.430
rat in a lab. So it's different though, because

00:02:12.430 --> 00:02:18.789
like I said, I've added podcasting is not a thing

00:02:18.789 --> 00:02:20.990
that I would have probably even thought that

00:02:21.039 --> 00:02:27.659
I delve this far off into now. Just knowing how

00:02:27.659 --> 00:02:33.080
much I was doing music and the shift or as they

00:02:33.080 --> 00:02:35.900
say on the pivot show, pivot to make that pivot

00:02:35.900 --> 00:02:40.379
and the pivot just changes the whole entire grind

00:02:40.379 --> 00:02:44.620
and the whole entire mentality. It's not like

00:02:44.620 --> 00:02:51.180
taking a path that I'm saying, oh, I'ma follow

00:02:51.180 --> 00:02:52.840
the way this person is doing. I'ma follow the

00:02:52.840 --> 00:02:55.479
way this person is doing. Like you all in, you

00:02:55.479 --> 00:02:57.819
all in. It's a different way now. So, and I'm

00:02:57.819 --> 00:03:01.599
not, I'm not negating anything that I've learned,

00:03:02.020 --> 00:03:07.639
but now I'm seeing though, it just makes sense

00:03:07.639 --> 00:03:10.699
to, and this is just speaking for people that

00:03:10.699 --> 00:03:16.139
he listening to, you know, and nobody has control

00:03:16.139 --> 00:03:19.840
more than you do, right? And that's the part

00:03:19.840 --> 00:03:24.599
where a lot of us take a lot of the part where

00:03:24.599 --> 00:03:28.080
control is and misuse it. And I'm gonna tell

00:03:28.080 --> 00:03:29.960
you what I mean by misuse it. And it's something

00:03:29.960 --> 00:03:32.060
that we were talking about with, you know, budget.

00:03:33.379 --> 00:03:37.719
You had a very good point. You know, there are

00:03:37.719 --> 00:03:40.680
things that people add to their life, add addiction,

00:03:41.099 --> 00:03:46.639
add the word, add, add to their life that. can

00:03:46.639 --> 00:03:52.139
really slow down the progression of how you think.

00:03:52.620 --> 00:03:54.120
And that's something else you was talking about,

00:03:54.360 --> 00:04:00.199
mental. So this is something that pushes budget

00:04:00.199 --> 00:04:03.919
to another level because what I said, budgeting

00:04:03.919 --> 00:04:09.560
ain't your turn. And I'm not talking about, You

00:04:09.560 --> 00:04:11.860
know you people people that go to work, you know,

00:04:11.979 --> 00:04:13.719
that's that's that's one. You know, that's good

00:04:13.719 --> 00:04:15.699
You're supposed to go to work. That's that brings

00:04:15.699 --> 00:04:21.579
balance but lately the time of balance I mean

00:04:21.579 --> 00:04:25.480
five minutes Like five minutes and I'm gonna

00:04:25.480 --> 00:04:29.240
tell you what I mean by five minutes like somebody

00:04:29.240 --> 00:04:36.420
Somebody showed me some backdoor ethics to like

00:04:36.420 --> 00:04:41.370
Facebook Instagram YouTube, all these huge platforms

00:04:41.370 --> 00:04:47.370
that, you know, LinkedIn, all these big platforms

00:04:47.370 --> 00:04:55.889
daily get a lot of attention, right? Nobody actually

00:04:55.889 --> 00:05:01.629
knows that these platforms make a lot of money

00:05:01.629 --> 00:05:08.120
off of what activity we bring to it, right? website,

00:05:08.120 --> 00:05:13.379
man. This is crazy ethics. I want y 'all to hear

00:05:13.379 --> 00:05:16.560
this and I'm gonna bring and make sense of why

00:05:16.560 --> 00:05:19.160
I'm saying this. And I never would have thought

00:05:19.160 --> 00:05:22.740
about it this way just because I wasn't even

00:05:22.740 --> 00:05:24.740
in the mentality of it, actually. I wasn't even

00:05:24.740 --> 00:05:27.120
thinking about it to be like, oh, I should listen

00:05:27.120 --> 00:05:30.889
or. do more or anything like this. This is not

00:05:30.889 --> 00:05:33.629
what that means. What it actually, what I'm about

00:05:33.629 --> 00:05:36.009
to bring to attention is something that I want

00:05:36.009 --> 00:05:38.410
a lot more of the people that's in our circle

00:05:38.410 --> 00:05:40.089
now that's listening, because we have a lot of

00:05:40.089 --> 00:05:41.829
listeners that are circulating and want to know,

00:05:42.470 --> 00:05:45.649
understanding it. The ethics of what the situation

00:05:45.649 --> 00:05:49.129
you should understand about how the world is

00:05:49.129 --> 00:05:54.269
moving right now. You are missing out on opportunities

00:05:54.269 --> 00:05:57.889
to create your platform. Because you stick yourself

00:05:57.889 --> 00:06:02.250
in one place That is the biggest problem a lot

00:06:02.250 --> 00:06:06.970
of beginner Artists they stick their place in

00:06:06.970 --> 00:06:10.069
something in there for get to go everywhere else

00:06:10.069 --> 00:06:13.410
and to look elsewhere in The simple the simple

00:06:13.410 --> 00:06:16.410
part of what I mean by looking elsewhere. It

00:06:16.410 --> 00:06:20.009
doesn't take long To do a Google search meaning

00:06:20.009 --> 00:06:21.870
and this is what I mean by the five minutes now

00:06:21.870 --> 00:06:23.610
Let me make sure we stick into this five minutes.

00:06:23.949 --> 00:06:25.709
So you pull up your phone, you know you get off

00:06:25.709 --> 00:06:28.790
work You know, you sit down, you know, some of

00:06:28.790 --> 00:06:31.250
y 'all are grown folks and y 'all might pull

00:06:31.250 --> 00:06:33.310
up, you know, sit down and get your drink out

00:06:33.310 --> 00:06:35.550
or whatever. Some of y 'all get home, you go,

00:06:35.589 --> 00:06:38.170
you might be headed to the gym. Some of y 'all

00:06:38.170 --> 00:06:41.509
all do something different at the end part of

00:06:41.509 --> 00:06:44.629
a day. But when you listen to this, I want you

00:06:44.629 --> 00:06:46.329
to just take this five minutes and just like

00:06:46.329 --> 00:06:51.930
pull your phone out and Google search music platforms

00:06:51.930 --> 00:06:58.670
that are looking for my music. Simple as that.

00:06:59.629 --> 00:07:04.149
Looking for your music. Find and look at how

00:07:04.149 --> 00:07:09.569
many platforms come up that are available to

00:07:09.569 --> 00:07:13.589
connect your music to. If it's 15 of them, guess

00:07:13.589 --> 00:07:18.850
what? You got 15 days to work on each one of

00:07:18.850 --> 00:07:22.230
these platforms to just see if you can add your

00:07:22.230 --> 00:07:25.069
touch, your own music to it. to add your links

00:07:25.069 --> 00:07:29.629
to it. The thing of what I feel a lot of us fall

00:07:29.629 --> 00:07:33.189
back from is building camaraderie everywhere,

00:07:33.790 --> 00:07:38.670
meaning. Don't get me wrong, IG is nice. It's

00:07:38.670 --> 00:07:42.029
nice, but there are other picture -built, video

00:07:42.029 --> 00:07:44.529
-built platforms that y 'all haven't even tapped

00:07:44.529 --> 00:07:47.110
into yet. I just want y 'all to do this next

00:07:47.110 --> 00:07:50.589
in this five minutes. Take the time to do this.

00:07:50.790 --> 00:07:55.629
Google search this. platforms or competitors

00:07:55.629 --> 00:08:04.750
of IG or IG competitors. Look how many platforms

00:08:04.750 --> 00:08:06.990
come up here. Now this is going to start to make

00:08:06.990 --> 00:08:09.569
sense to y 'all soon. And it's not to say that

00:08:09.569 --> 00:08:12.209
this is supposed to, this is not to do this all

00:08:12.209 --> 00:08:14.610
in one day. Now hear what I say. Take your time.

00:08:14.689 --> 00:08:17.550
It's five minutes a day. Pick which day you want

00:08:17.550 --> 00:08:20.069
to do with either one of them. Pick a platform

00:08:20.069 --> 00:08:22.730
that you like and love. And can I say something,

00:08:22.790 --> 00:08:27.889
can I cut in? Because this is going into the

00:08:27.889 --> 00:08:30.470
budgeting part and also managing your career.

00:08:30.529 --> 00:08:32.730
And what you're saying is really crucial. Like

00:08:32.730 --> 00:08:36.529
you just said, you got 15 platforms that come

00:08:36.529 --> 00:08:38.909
up saying, you know, they could use your music.

00:08:40.009 --> 00:08:43.090
Don't, when we say managing and budgeting, you

00:08:43.090 --> 00:08:45.149
know, we talk about putting money into the studio,

00:08:45.350 --> 00:08:48.970
putting money into the music. Another key part

00:08:48.970 --> 00:08:52.389
of that is putting, making sure that you put

00:08:52.389 --> 00:08:55.149
the money into the promotion of what you got.

00:08:55.629 --> 00:08:57.570
You know what I'm saying? And managing it and

00:08:57.570 --> 00:09:01.250
keeping it up. I use it, for example, my annual

00:09:01.250 --> 00:09:06.370
re -scribe that came from my website a couple

00:09:06.370 --> 00:09:09.509
of days ago. And I make sure I jump on it. Like

00:09:09.509 --> 00:09:12.769
I jump on a bill. My mindset when it comes to

00:09:12.769 --> 00:09:15.289
my website, personal website, is like I treat

00:09:15.289 --> 00:09:19.639
like my rent is due. And as like you just said,

00:09:19.799 --> 00:09:24.559
the mentality as an artist, you want to get that

00:09:24.559 --> 00:09:29.340
far mentally with it. Like where it's important,

00:09:29.679 --> 00:09:32.039
that important. You get what I'm saying? Like

00:09:32.039 --> 00:09:34.559
it's a life or death. Like, no, I can't lose

00:09:34.559 --> 00:09:38.039
this. I need this for my business. I need this

00:09:38.039 --> 00:09:40.639
for my career. That's how you got to look at

00:09:40.639 --> 00:09:44.019
it. So you might not manage, you might buy, you

00:09:44.019 --> 00:09:46.620
know, You might not just be spending a lot of

00:09:46.620 --> 00:09:51.080
money and just going to the studio or doing things,

00:09:51.080 --> 00:09:54.080
you know, like creating. But I also want to talk

00:09:54.080 --> 00:09:57.159
to the people that have created and have things,

00:09:57.179 --> 00:10:00.440
you know, I'm saying that they they have. But

00:10:00.440 --> 00:10:02.379
you might not even have the platforms. People

00:10:02.379 --> 00:10:05.139
can't find you on the platforms or they can't

00:10:05.139 --> 00:10:06.980
when they Google search you, you know, you're

00:10:06.980 --> 00:10:09.320
not found the book, you know, like your website.

00:10:09.320 --> 00:10:12.460
You don't have something certified to what people

00:10:12.460 --> 00:10:15.360
would be like, OK. This is real to where I can

00:10:15.360 --> 00:10:17.860
look into that. And that's another thing people

00:10:17.860 --> 00:10:21.259
are missing. That certification online, you know,

00:10:21.320 --> 00:10:24.539
that that algorithm, you know what I'm saying?

00:10:26.039 --> 00:10:29.080
You need to have an online presence and where

00:10:29.080 --> 00:10:31.759
online presence. OK, things that you can do.

00:10:31.840 --> 00:10:35.039
Get a website. You know what I'm saying? Put

00:10:35.039 --> 00:10:39.019
your music on as many platforms as you can, because

00:10:39.019 --> 00:10:40.759
the more the better. You know what I'm saying?

00:10:40.919 --> 00:10:43.000
Everybody. That thing about everybody's not an

00:10:43.000 --> 00:10:45.919
iPhone user. Everybody might not have Apple Music.

00:10:46.059 --> 00:10:49.379
Everybody might not have iTunes. So Amazon, you

00:10:49.379 --> 00:10:55.340
know, Prime, like Tidal. What's these other ones?

00:10:56.100 --> 00:10:59.919
All these other Android driven platforms, you

00:10:59.919 --> 00:11:01.919
know, like, you know, you got to look out. You

00:11:01.919 --> 00:11:04.500
got to think of things like this when you're

00:11:04.500 --> 00:11:06.840
being an artist or business person. You know

00:11:06.840 --> 00:11:09.419
what I'm saying? You want to be out there. in

00:11:09.419 --> 00:11:12.120
front of everybody that you can be in front of.

00:11:14.539 --> 00:11:17.059
I'm sorry, I just wanted to ask you. You fine.

00:11:18.279 --> 00:11:23.620
So you take your time in five minutes in these

00:11:23.620 --> 00:11:27.480
five minute time frames in a day, and you look

00:11:27.480 --> 00:11:32.740
into the situation of where growth is starting

00:11:32.740 --> 00:11:34.840
to come from, because we don't know where growth

00:11:34.840 --> 00:11:37.039
is coming from, so we have to ask. Like I said,

00:11:37.080 --> 00:11:41.200
get on Google. as Google. So you have these platforms

00:11:41.200 --> 00:11:44.039
that you love to be on. So like I said, Facebook,

00:11:44.120 --> 00:11:46.840
you might be Facebook. YouTube might be your

00:11:46.840 --> 00:11:50.899
other one. I mean, you find ones that you're

00:11:50.899 --> 00:11:55.259
used to being on and then you find its competitor.

00:11:56.360 --> 00:11:59.340
Then you tie yourself into the competitors, competitors

00:11:59.340 --> 00:12:02.440
just as well, because the case of there is there

00:12:02.440 --> 00:12:07.399
are so many essential ways to get the message

00:12:07.399 --> 00:12:10.159
across, but you may be on the wrong platform.

00:12:11.500 --> 00:12:13.639
Sometimes there's a situation of thinking like,

00:12:13.700 --> 00:12:16.639
OK, well, I have to be here. Sometimes it's not

00:12:16.639 --> 00:12:21.299
on that platform for that situation, because

00:12:21.299 --> 00:12:25.299
there are so many other people who are already

00:12:25.299 --> 00:12:28.580
there and it's saturated in a sense. It's hard

00:12:28.580 --> 00:12:31.200
for everybody to see. It's hard to be. It's hard

00:12:31.200 --> 00:12:34.379
to be seen. So here's the situation on what I

00:12:34.379 --> 00:12:38.659
mean by hard to be seen. Now, the fact of being

00:12:38.659 --> 00:12:41.500
hard to be seen, there is one thing that one

00:12:41.500 --> 00:12:48.139
would do versus the next artist. So for me, some

00:12:48.139 --> 00:12:52.100
artists think that if, okay, well, if I don't

00:12:52.100 --> 00:12:56.220
have social media presence, I'm not getting any

00:12:56.220 --> 00:12:59.460
traction. You're mistaken there. That's where

00:12:59.460 --> 00:13:03.120
you become, that's where you become, you become.

00:13:03.419 --> 00:13:06.360
brainwashed to a situation of just there's this

00:13:06.360 --> 00:13:09.159
thing that you feel like, okay, I'm this good.

00:13:09.559 --> 00:13:11.580
So I'm supposed to be here on this platform.

00:13:11.580 --> 00:13:14.159
I'm supposed to be this good on social media.

00:13:14.720 --> 00:13:20.139
Here what you're saying social media. What you're

00:13:20.139 --> 00:13:24.559
presenting musically is not the thing that's

00:13:24.559 --> 00:13:28.879
going to make you hot per se on social media.

00:13:29.759 --> 00:13:33.279
So let me. Separate some things real quick. So

00:13:33.279 --> 00:13:36.620
it's understood so you have social media But

00:13:36.620 --> 00:13:39.539
then you have a website See, I'm gonna be honest

00:13:39.539 --> 00:13:43.080
with you. Some of y 'all drown yourself in the

00:13:43.080 --> 00:13:47.080
social media situation where The content that

00:13:47.080 --> 00:13:50.840
you're putting on social media in a sense can

00:13:50.840 --> 00:13:54.220
be going on to your website Now the difference

00:13:54.220 --> 00:13:58.000
is saying it having this website in the sight

00:13:58.000 --> 00:14:02.320
of saying having a website Having a website is

00:14:02.320 --> 00:14:07.000
supposed to be a competitive action to a social

00:14:07.000 --> 00:14:10.580
media website. How? How does that work? How does

00:14:10.580 --> 00:14:12.159
how do we know what we're talking about there?

00:14:12.200 --> 00:14:15.919
OK, there's a reason why. So for the sake of

00:14:15.919 --> 00:14:20.360
there's content that's been created that that

00:14:20.360 --> 00:14:25.159
is not just music podcast, like that's generating

00:14:25.159 --> 00:14:30.309
traffic currently due to its position. as a website,

00:14:31.809 --> 00:14:35.309
as being visible. So if you go on Google right

00:14:35.309 --> 00:14:42.470
now, if you do a search on, what is it? Editing

00:14:42.470 --> 00:14:48.169
your podcast in ClipChamp. If you do that search

00:14:48.169 --> 00:14:51.509
right now, if you scroll down, probably one of

00:14:51.509 --> 00:14:54.009
the first top two, three websites you would see

00:14:54.009 --> 00:14:58.830
would be by Not Just Music Podcast. How is that

00:14:58.830 --> 00:15:02.509
and why is that relevant? Because we're getting

00:15:02.509 --> 00:15:06.809
traffic to the website. Due to the sake of what

00:15:06.809 --> 00:15:13.029
you have to remember. And the consistency. The

00:15:13.029 --> 00:15:19.309
craziness of what you think that you do as an

00:15:19.309 --> 00:15:24.610
individual. And to take that and move that away

00:15:24.610 --> 00:15:27.539
from your artistry. is probably what's hurting

00:15:27.539 --> 00:15:32.039
you as a brand. Just being honest. A lot of y

00:15:32.039 --> 00:15:36.519
'all take and try to say, oh, here's this brand

00:15:36.519 --> 00:15:42.179
of a, you know, I'm only this like person when

00:15:42.179 --> 00:15:46.399
I'm on stage and I'm, you know, that's me over

00:15:46.399 --> 00:15:49.779
there in the studio. And then my real life, I'm

00:15:49.779 --> 00:15:52.649
this totally different individual. That's too

00:15:52.649 --> 00:15:55.169
much, that's too much. So let me explain what

00:15:55.169 --> 00:15:58.710
I mean by that. So some of y 'all, and this goes

00:15:58.710 --> 00:16:02.570
into, I see a lot of my family, some of my close

00:16:02.570 --> 00:16:06.029
folks. It's not a huge circle, but some of my,

00:16:06.169 --> 00:16:10.649
I see the post. I'm like, look, man, that post,

00:16:10.710 --> 00:16:12.549
you should have posted that craziness on your

00:16:12.549 --> 00:16:15.330
website. That could have brought a lot of traffic

00:16:15.330 --> 00:16:18.830
to your website and ain't nobody seeing it. over

00:16:18.830 --> 00:16:20.990
here on IG. Ain't nobody seeing it on Facebook.

00:16:21.110 --> 00:16:23.789
Ain't nobody seeing it on YouTube. It might would

00:16:23.789 --> 00:16:25.909
have had more value over here on your website,

00:16:26.110 --> 00:16:29.149
just because the case of is realistic you. So

00:16:29.149 --> 00:16:32.970
your artistry you, meaning your music, whatever

00:16:32.970 --> 00:16:36.190
your brand is, tying your music in. Remember,

00:16:36.210 --> 00:16:39.370
that's real life. People can believe that. That's

00:16:39.370 --> 00:16:41.769
understandable. So like, I got a question for

00:16:41.769 --> 00:16:47.440
you. So if you had a new artist, let's say, This

00:16:47.440 --> 00:16:50.419
isn't saying like this is like, you know It doesn't

00:16:50.419 --> 00:16:52.440
have to be somebody assigned to you but say they

00:16:52.440 --> 00:16:54.200
looking up to you, right? They got they like

00:16:54.200 --> 00:16:57.700
look you I got a question, man Adam I'm trying

00:16:57.700 --> 00:17:03.379
to understand the the difference in Being real

00:17:03.379 --> 00:17:08.380
as in artistry and being real as a person is

00:17:08.380 --> 00:17:11.819
it possible to do both of those at the same time

00:17:11.819 --> 00:17:14.819
because I want other people to get your idea

00:17:14.819 --> 00:17:17.519
of, okay, is it this? Should I be the artist

00:17:17.519 --> 00:17:20.079
person all the time or should I just be me all

00:17:20.079 --> 00:17:22.599
the time? Because some people confuse that. Yeah.

00:17:23.500 --> 00:17:28.000
Well, part of part. OK, let me ask. So part of

00:17:28.000 --> 00:17:31.799
me being the artist that I am, like how I came

00:17:31.799 --> 00:17:37.200
in the game, how I came in was being Quincy Murdoch.

00:17:37.339 --> 00:17:39.900
Like my artist name is Quincy Murdoch, my government

00:17:39.900 --> 00:17:42.829
name. So you already knew how I was coming. Get

00:17:42.829 --> 00:17:46.230
what I'm saying? It's me, 100 % me. So when I

00:17:46.230 --> 00:17:50.569
came in, I came in being myself. I didn't have

00:17:50.569 --> 00:17:55.470
to pretend to be nobody. A lot of people dress

00:17:55.470 --> 00:17:59.029
up in cartoon characters and being this person,

00:17:59.130 --> 00:18:03.329
this different personality of y 'all. Sasha Fierce,

00:18:03.609 --> 00:18:05.390
you know what I'm saying? They got these multiple

00:18:05.390 --> 00:18:08.269
personalities. Me, I just always been Quincy

00:18:08.269 --> 00:18:12.819
Murda. And I'm very outspoken. The truth tell

00:18:12.819 --> 00:18:16.079
the truth, you know, my music speaks the truth

00:18:16.079 --> 00:18:19.940
You know how I feel my movie told the truth about

00:18:19.940 --> 00:18:23.819
my life, you know when I'm on social media I've

00:18:23.819 --> 00:18:27.099
what's my opinions and and it's crazy You know

00:18:27.099 --> 00:18:30.140
now I turned it into we turned it into not just

00:18:30.140 --> 00:18:33.140
music podcast and I do the same thing That I

00:18:33.140 --> 00:18:35.960
would do online. I post my opinions. I'm gonna

00:18:35.960 --> 00:18:38.160
say the same. I'll say the same thing on here

00:18:38.410 --> 00:18:41.170
That I would say on my personal Facebook page

00:18:41.170 --> 00:18:44.769
or anywhere out in pub. It's just me. It's just

00:18:44.769 --> 00:18:50.250
me so Thing with me is a artist. I feel like

00:18:50.250 --> 00:18:55.369
you should always Just be you Because I feel

00:18:55.369 --> 00:18:59.690
like a lot of people might actually gain Because

00:18:59.690 --> 00:19:02.450
there's some big celebrities out there that has

00:19:02.450 --> 00:19:06.369
a fan base, but I feel like if they would show

00:19:06.369 --> 00:19:09.569
that real side of them They will show you know,

00:19:09.569 --> 00:19:11.950
they will be that vulnerable show that like,

00:19:12.089 --> 00:19:16.890
okay, I Have bad days, too. This is like this

00:19:16.890 --> 00:19:19.650
is my issues. I got going on You know I'm saying

00:19:19.650 --> 00:19:23.910
like it ain't just oh Fine and dandy being an

00:19:23.910 --> 00:19:26.390
artist, you know I'm saying like a lot of artists

00:19:26.390 --> 00:19:28.130
try to make it like they're like, oh, we don't

00:19:28.130 --> 00:19:31.089
go through nothing I got this perfect life. Oh,

00:19:31.089 --> 00:19:34.690
we just rich and this and that I actually think

00:19:34.690 --> 00:19:38.380
if a artist would show that side the bed They

00:19:38.380 --> 00:19:41.859
will actually gain a lot more fans and followers

00:19:41.859 --> 00:19:46.660
by being organic and being real and being realistic

00:19:46.660 --> 00:19:51.460
as we spoke in podcast before. So I'm a bit from

00:19:51.460 --> 00:19:54.180
believing you should always be real. You should

00:19:54.180 --> 00:19:57.180
always be yourself because I think being yourself

00:19:57.180 --> 00:20:01.180
brings more traction to you. People want to know

00:20:01.180 --> 00:20:04.059
who this is. People want to relate. People want

00:20:04.059 --> 00:20:06.740
to relate. Find something they can relate to.

00:20:06.920 --> 00:20:10.259
when it comes to artists. That's how we gain

00:20:10.259 --> 00:20:13.539
our fans. That's how we gain our followers. People

00:20:13.539 --> 00:20:18.799
look at you as a person, not just your music.

00:20:18.920 --> 00:20:20.420
Because a lot of people just think, I just want

00:20:20.420 --> 00:20:23.720
to be a music artist. But it's more to it. People

00:20:23.720 --> 00:20:27.180
actually looking at the character. Oh, how is

00:20:27.180 --> 00:20:31.500
he as a dad? Oh, we see this. We see that. And

00:20:31.500 --> 00:20:34.180
you might be a person that don't care about what

00:20:34.180 --> 00:20:38.220
the public thinks. In reality, when you're becoming

00:20:38.220 --> 00:20:42.400
a public figure, this stuff sales, hate it or

00:20:42.400 --> 00:20:45.400
love it. It can make us or break us. You know

00:20:45.400 --> 00:20:49.359
what I'm saying? So being real and being yourself

00:20:49.359 --> 00:20:52.099
can actually help your brand, help your help

00:20:52.099 --> 00:20:54.940
your fan base. You know what I'm saying? Or it

00:20:54.940 --> 00:20:58.680
can hurt it if you're so secretive and don't

00:20:58.680 --> 00:21:01.079
want to keep it real. You might rub people the

00:21:01.079 --> 00:21:03.440
wrong way because people going to put two and

00:21:03.440 --> 00:21:06.170
two together like. No, it isn't a good line.

00:21:06.230 --> 00:21:09.289
Like, you know I'm saying he can't he can't always

00:21:09.289 --> 00:21:11.769
have it together You know I'm saying he can't

00:21:11.769 --> 00:21:15.369
always have it together. Like, you know the Cray

00:21:15.369 --> 00:21:18.150
I fell in love with Christian music rap music

00:21:18.150 --> 00:21:21.369
I was doing the same thing and the Cray gave

00:21:21.369 --> 00:21:24.670
me confidence because I seen he wasn't perfect

00:21:24.670 --> 00:21:27.509
Now if he would have been a gospel, right? He

00:21:27.509 --> 00:21:30.470
wouldn't have told none of his flaws And he just

00:21:30.470 --> 00:21:32.009
would have got up there and just been preaching

00:21:32.009 --> 00:21:34.759
or rapping gospel I probably wouldn't even took

00:21:34.759 --> 00:21:38.980
them serious. But knowing that, wow, Lecrae was

00:21:38.980 --> 00:21:43.599
molested in his past and he did drugs and had

00:21:43.599 --> 00:21:45.940
problems with women, like dealing with women

00:21:45.940 --> 00:21:48.759
and women, which something I dealt with the women

00:21:48.759 --> 00:21:50.480
part, you know what I'm saying? Dealing with

00:21:50.480 --> 00:21:54.779
women and just sex as a getaway, you know what

00:21:54.779 --> 00:21:58.559
I'm saying? That drew me more to Lecrae. So,

00:21:58.680 --> 00:22:00.759
people are always looking for something that

00:22:00.759 --> 00:22:04.259
they can relate to in an artist or in you. You

00:22:04.259 --> 00:22:07.619
know what I'm saying? So, as our podcast, I would

00:22:07.619 --> 00:22:10.299
just leave it like this. Not just music. It's

00:22:10.299 --> 00:22:12.440
not just the music. You know what I'm saying?

00:22:12.839 --> 00:22:17.160
It's the person. It's you that sells this whole

00:22:17.160 --> 00:22:21.359
brand. You are the brand. So, I know I said a

00:22:21.359 --> 00:22:23.880
lot, but I was trying to break it down. I'm bad,

00:22:24.000 --> 00:22:27.309
bro. What's going on? It's your boy Duann Barrino

you got drunk the night before and you wake up

00:23:00.680 --> 00:23:02.660
in the morning, you had a hangover. Guess what?

00:23:02.960 --> 00:23:05.839
It works for you too. All right. So at the end

00:23:05.839 --> 00:23:08.240
of the day. If you head over there to morelabs

00:23:08.240 --> 00:23:11.339

to morelabs .com, all right? Peace. And that

00:23:34.819 --> 00:23:41.619
is a lot for, you know, people that start. It's

00:23:41.619 --> 00:23:44.980
hard to get to this space. The reason it's hard

00:23:44.980 --> 00:23:49.579
to get to this space is because one, it'll never

00:23:49.579 --> 00:23:55.160
be easy to be consistent. That's going to be

00:23:55.160 --> 00:24:00.680
the one part that a lot of artists will never

00:24:00.680 --> 00:24:04.660
reach greatness due to the fact that it's just

00:24:04.660 --> 00:24:08.079
that hard. So if you don't see it, if you don't

00:24:08.079 --> 00:24:12.200
understand it, you know, it's just, that's not

00:24:12.200 --> 00:24:15.579
what people want to see. If people see that,

00:24:15.980 --> 00:24:17.980
they'll use that as your fall off. They'll throw

00:24:17.980 --> 00:24:21.880
that at you. And that's really the biggest thing.

00:24:22.460 --> 00:24:25.440
As an artist, you really have to see your way

00:24:25.440 --> 00:24:28.359
through everything that's going on. You know,

00:24:28.420 --> 00:24:32.640
if it's good days, if it's bad days, You know,

00:24:32.640 --> 00:24:36.180
you might be sick. You know, you might lose your

00:24:36.180 --> 00:24:40.460
job. You know, things are going to happen along

00:24:40.460 --> 00:24:43.180
this path. It's not going to be an easy route.

00:24:43.440 --> 00:24:46.220
Now, I will offer this to you as well because

00:24:46.220 --> 00:24:50.079
I want to say this to those that think that it's

00:24:50.079 --> 00:24:54.480
just about being independent. Let me draw a good

00:24:54.480 --> 00:24:58.180
line for you all. Now, there is a good line in

00:24:58.180 --> 00:25:03.480
understanding where independency can go right

00:25:03.480 --> 00:25:05.440
for you. Independency can go right for you in

00:25:05.440 --> 00:25:08.579
a lot of different ways. The better you are at

00:25:08.579 --> 00:25:12.440
understanding independency, the better that you

00:25:12.440 --> 00:25:15.960
can understand a deal. So let me bring the deal

00:25:15.960 --> 00:25:19.500
part in, because those that think that deals

00:25:19.500 --> 00:25:22.099
are bad, deals are actually good in some matters,

00:25:22.240 --> 00:25:23.980
and some of y 'all ain't even gave a deal a chance

00:25:23.980 --> 00:25:25.880
to even sit down and listen to a deal to know

00:25:25.880 --> 00:25:28.150
if it's a deal or not. Y 'all pay attention to

00:25:28.150 --> 00:25:29.950
the internet too much to the fact that y 'all

00:25:29.950 --> 00:25:32.289
think that every deal is a bad deal. Every deal

00:25:32.289 --> 00:25:35.190
ain't a bad deal. So let me make sense of that.

00:25:35.829 --> 00:25:38.309
Why does that, why do I bring that up? Because

00:25:38.309 --> 00:25:40.970
that question did come up due to something that

00:25:40.970 --> 00:25:44.789
we brought up. So you have to realize where,

00:25:46.430 --> 00:25:49.710
this is what I feel a lot of people mistake,

00:25:50.089 --> 00:25:56.200
what they've seen in the past. I kinda blame

00:25:56.200 --> 00:26:00.240
this on some artists that are out now, because

00:26:00.240 --> 00:26:02.319
some people paid attention way too hard, then

00:26:02.319 --> 00:26:04.680
some people don't pay attention at all. What

00:26:04.680 --> 00:26:06.640
do I mean? So you got people like Usher, you

00:26:06.640 --> 00:26:08.720
got people like Chris Brown, you got people like

00:26:08.720 --> 00:26:10.259
Beyonce, you got people like - You were talking

00:26:10.259 --> 00:26:13.640
about Usher. Remember talking about Usher. And

00:26:13.640 --> 00:26:15.680
Usher gave, in that interview that I sent you,

00:26:15.960 --> 00:26:19.400
Usher gave the most realest response in that

00:26:19.400 --> 00:26:23.309
clip about his situation. But go ahead, I just

00:26:23.309 --> 00:26:25.390
wanted to put that in there in his situation.

00:26:25.450 --> 00:26:27.690
He broke it down. I'm gonna talk about it. I'm

00:26:27.690 --> 00:26:30.470
gonna bring it up now. So not even just him,

00:26:30.609 --> 00:26:33.630
not even for the sake of just him. So you have

00:26:33.630 --> 00:26:40.150
to realize there is space for everybody in this

00:26:40.150 --> 00:26:43.750
business. Let's say it again, there's space for

00:26:43.750 --> 00:26:47.890
everybody in this business. Where your space

00:26:47.890 --> 00:26:50.599
is in the business, Is your part that you play

00:26:50.599 --> 00:26:54.039
for what you got going on inside of that company

00:26:54.039 --> 00:26:57.920
inside of that deal that you are in because sometimes

00:26:57.920 --> 00:27:02.359
people think oh, you know Artists supposedly

00:27:02.359 --> 00:27:04.599
basically y 'all some feel like the artist is

00:27:04.599 --> 00:27:07.460
supposed to get the most money No, it ain't the

00:27:07.460 --> 00:27:09.980
artist money in the first place. It's not your

00:27:09.980 --> 00:27:13.299
money in the first place So don't ever come in

00:27:13.299 --> 00:27:16.099
thinking like okay I'm about to get rich off

00:27:16.099 --> 00:27:19.069
of this instantly. Don't do that. This is what

00:27:19.069 --> 00:27:21.609
you do. You come in and you play your part. Like,

00:27:21.609 --> 00:27:25.690
I know dudes that are execs in company right

00:27:25.690 --> 00:27:30.230
now. Executives. They're not rappers. They don't

00:27:30.230 --> 00:27:33.430
sing. They don't do, they don't hand clap. They

00:27:33.430 --> 00:27:35.150
don't do the hand bone. They don't do nothing.

00:27:35.670 --> 00:27:38.170
They just know the business. They just know black

00:27:38.170 --> 00:27:43.319
and white paperwork. That's all they know. It's

00:27:43.319 --> 00:27:45.680
about the route you want to go to I say this

00:27:45.680 --> 00:27:49.640
as a per like as an artist It should be the route

00:27:49.640 --> 00:27:52.559
that you see visualize yourself going down like

00:27:52.559 --> 00:27:56.900
don't make decisions based off of other artists

00:27:56.900 --> 00:28:01.759
Like that like I love us you us is an entertainer

00:28:01.759 --> 00:28:05.480
You know he that's what he eats breeze lives

00:28:05.480 --> 00:28:08.859
entertainment like that like when he gets on

00:28:08.859 --> 00:28:12.619
stage is magic I like me. I can't dance like

00:28:12.619 --> 00:28:16.019
us. You feel me? Hey, I can't I like realistically

00:28:16.019 --> 00:28:20.380
I know so I'm not gonna be like a entertainer.

00:28:20.380 --> 00:28:24.140
I'm a thing more like Okay, how can I get my

00:28:24.140 --> 00:28:26.799
back in off this music? like when I'm done because

00:28:26.799 --> 00:28:29.539
I know I might not want to I might not bring

00:28:29.539 --> 00:28:33.539
in a crowd crowd like usher does so let me think

00:28:33.539 --> 00:28:36.819
about how I can get my back in later, like you

00:28:36.819 --> 00:28:39.640
say don't think about the money off top, but

00:28:39.579 --> 00:28:42.579
Let me think about how I can set myself up in

00:28:42.579 --> 00:28:46.599
this music to where I can get residuals in the

00:28:46.599 --> 00:28:49.339
pad like later on. You feel me? And that's what

00:28:49.339 --> 00:28:51.920
Chris Brown did. Twenty nine years old on his

00:28:51.920 --> 00:28:54.500
masters because he's thinking generational wealth.

00:28:55.059 --> 00:28:57.819
You know what I'm saying? Like everybody's agenda

00:28:57.819 --> 00:29:00.319
is different. Everybody's mindset or what they

00:29:00.319 --> 00:29:03.920
want for the future is different. So I say go

00:29:03.920 --> 00:29:07.940
off what you visualize yourself as being. you

00:29:07.940 --> 00:29:10.400
know cuz you can't everybody can't be doing like

00:29:10.400 --> 00:29:13.220
us you you feel me us you can perform he's a

00:29:13.220 --> 00:29:15.940
performer you feel me he gonna have sold out

00:29:15.940 --> 00:29:19.839
shows like it's that's him entertainer you know

00:29:19.839 --> 00:29:22.339
saying so he's not really worried about the music

00:29:22.339 --> 00:29:25.619
probably the music sales like that he worried

00:29:25.619 --> 00:29:29.400
about the show money you know saying so you gotta

00:29:29.400 --> 00:29:31.940
also know your strong your your strong points

00:29:31.940 --> 00:29:34.960
and your weaknesses you know also uh your strongest

00:29:34.960 --> 00:29:37.319
over your weaknesses you know Not saying you

00:29:37.319 --> 00:29:39.480
got weaknesses, but just knowing you're strongest

00:29:39.480 --> 00:29:48.000
over your weak. So position. Comes with the mentality,

00:29:48.019 --> 00:29:51.420
as I say, some have exec mentalities, you know,

00:29:51.420 --> 00:29:55.259
you got their different things and ours have

00:29:55.259 --> 00:29:57.460
that you have certain people that are there that

00:29:57.460 --> 00:30:01.099
are. under the music production. Sometimes there

00:30:01.099 --> 00:30:03.680
are people there that are just writers. There

00:30:03.680 --> 00:30:06.279
are a lot of times a lot of pieces that are sitting

00:30:06.279 --> 00:30:12.500
at a table at one time and realizing that position

00:30:12.500 --> 00:30:16.880
where you sit at that table will never change.

00:30:17.359 --> 00:30:20.960
If you're in the mentality of saying that this

00:30:20.960 --> 00:30:24.220
is something that would be a deal or something

00:30:24.220 --> 00:30:28.660
to that nature of what the deal is or what It's

00:30:28.660 --> 00:30:32.339
beneficial to you. It's going to, you know, whatever

00:30:32.339 --> 00:30:37.319
it is that you are. So knowing that if you're

00:30:37.319 --> 00:30:42.339
a singer, remember a singer is considered to

00:30:42.339 --> 00:30:45.339
be in the entertainment business just as an actor.

00:30:45.579 --> 00:30:47.880
An actor is in an entertainment business. It's

00:30:47.880 --> 00:30:52.480
not the case of you are going to be this dynamic

00:30:52.480 --> 00:30:58.299
singer, writer. You know mogul right out of the

00:30:58.299 --> 00:31:01.819
gate. There's some people who have to shift and

00:31:01.819 --> 00:31:05.299
pivot When they get their foot in a door, so

00:31:05.299 --> 00:31:09.299
you got some people who are in the music business

00:31:09.299 --> 00:31:12.599
now They started off first thing they were was

00:31:12.599 --> 00:31:15.460
just the writer. That's it But they say they

00:31:15.460 --> 00:31:17.880
got a chain. They sign their deal. They sign

00:31:17.880 --> 00:31:20.099
a deal Don't get don't let them get a food now.

00:31:20.099 --> 00:31:23.259
They sign them deals now They sat at these tables

00:31:23.259 --> 00:31:29.259
and had the opportunity to skyrocket, you know,

00:31:29.339 --> 00:31:31.839
to another level because the case of, you know,

00:31:31.900 --> 00:31:35.779
well, you know, they're sitting beside these

00:31:35.779 --> 00:31:39.859
NNRs and these execs for so long, you know, eventually

00:31:39.859 --> 00:31:42.779
that path that they were thinking like, oh, this

00:31:42.779 --> 00:31:46.839
was a closed door for a long time. But, you know.

00:31:46.880 --> 00:31:48.900
And you start thinking about your mama, your

00:31:48.900 --> 00:31:50.960
weight, the position, I'm in the hood, you know

00:31:50.960 --> 00:31:54.259
what I'm saying? Damn, I can I can get up out

00:31:54.259 --> 00:31:56.599
of the hood. Oh, I can get more promo I can get

00:31:56.599 --> 00:31:59.039
more exposure, you know I'm saying death jam

00:31:59.039 --> 00:32:02.460
or whatever not even death jam Just a just a

00:32:02.460 --> 00:32:04.819
label just having that battery and you're putting

00:32:04.819 --> 00:32:08.420
your back by any organization like that's how

00:32:08.420 --> 00:32:11.339
a lot of people look at it, you know, and I'm

00:32:11.339 --> 00:32:13.579
all for like I say if it's something that fits

00:32:13.579 --> 00:32:16.660
you Like if it fits what you're trying to do,

00:32:16.680 --> 00:32:19.900
I'm all for signing the deal You know if it if

00:32:19.900 --> 00:32:23.660
if the deal is right Know I'm saying sign it,

00:32:23.759 --> 00:32:26.480
you know, like ain't nothing wrong with it You

00:32:26.480 --> 00:32:29.299
know, I used to be so against deals and had this

00:32:29.299 --> 00:32:32.740
independent mindset but it's some things that

00:32:32.740 --> 00:32:35.440
I will want to own and it's some things that

00:32:35.440 --> 00:32:37.980
I honestly wouldn't care if I own like, you know

00:32:37.980 --> 00:32:41.299
I don't want to own every movie that I'm in for

00:32:41.299 --> 00:32:44.799
example, you know and that'd be like, you know

00:32:44.799 --> 00:32:47.779
times where I sign into movie movie agencies

00:32:48.380 --> 00:32:50.660
know Quincy Murdaugh the movie is always gonna

00:32:50.660 --> 00:32:54.259
be mine but everything doesn't have to be independently

00:32:54.259 --> 00:32:56.759
mine long as I got some things under my belt

00:32:56.759 --> 00:32:59.900
that's mine and I know that's secure I'm good

00:32:59.900 --> 00:33:04.259
with just being having my face seen in this all

00:33:04.259 --> 00:33:07.900
these tons of movies are being on tons of songs

00:33:07.900 --> 00:33:11.299
you know I'm saying I own a lot I own stuff anyway

00:33:11.299 --> 00:33:14.539
so this is just gonna help them come back to

00:33:14.539 --> 00:33:17.650
the old cat my catalog So you got to think about

00:33:17.650 --> 00:33:20.930
a deal like that too. Sometimes it'll bring traction

00:33:20.930 --> 00:33:24.569
back to your original work. You know what I'm

00:33:24.569 --> 00:33:28.109
saying? That you own. You know what I'm saying?

00:33:28.289 --> 00:33:30.430
Like you got to, like they say, you got to give

00:33:30.430 --> 00:33:33.130
to get in this world sometimes. You got to give

00:33:33.130 --> 00:33:36.130
something to get something at times in this world.

00:33:36.369 --> 00:33:41.970
You know what I'm saying? Also remembering to

00:33:41.970 --> 00:33:45.470
be in that entertainment world. that there are

00:33:45.470 --> 00:33:52.349
a lot of pieces for opportunities that, you know,

00:33:52.470 --> 00:33:57.250
mistake. People are mistaken by the case of the

00:33:57.250 --> 00:33:59.710
entertainment business for one reason. I think

00:33:59.710 --> 00:34:03.509
that sometimes you can consider yourself to get

00:34:03.509 --> 00:34:05.990
stuck. And the reason why you get stuck is because

00:34:05.990 --> 00:34:08.250
honestly, you probably don't have enough wings.

00:34:09.190 --> 00:34:12.639
The reason why I throw this in. The more wings

00:34:12.639 --> 00:34:17.300
and the more limbs that you possess, I mean,

00:34:17.300 --> 00:34:18.780
if you got a bunch of wings, you could probably

00:34:18.780 --> 00:34:21.320
fly a lot higher than some that just only have

00:34:21.320 --> 00:34:24.079
a couple wings or, you know, you could have a

00:34:24.079 --> 00:34:26.260
lot more limbs on your tree. You know, you could

00:34:26.260 --> 00:34:29.559
block a lot more that's coming at you due to

00:34:29.559 --> 00:34:32.059
the case of you got all these limbs. So you can,

00:34:32.260 --> 00:34:34.400
the reason why I speak of knowing and having

00:34:34.400 --> 00:34:38.440
knowledge is because having the knowledge is

00:34:38.440 --> 00:34:41.309
the part where You can have a lot more control

00:34:41.309 --> 00:34:44.170
of what's going on. The bigger the bigger, you

00:34:44.170 --> 00:34:47.730
know how to make a finishing product. And I think

00:34:47.730 --> 00:34:52.329
that's the distant part where that some confuse

00:34:52.329 --> 00:34:55.510
the part of being in artistry, the part of being

00:34:55.510 --> 00:34:58.110
an artist is nice to say that, you know, you

00:34:58.110 --> 00:35:02.309
can put out work, but do you know exactly how

00:35:02.309 --> 00:35:06.829
you did it and what you did? To get it out and

00:35:06.829 --> 00:35:10.659
also. Once you figure out how you got it out

00:35:10.659 --> 00:35:15.219
how you can do it at a high level and it not

00:35:15.219 --> 00:35:19.780
affect your Every day life that kind of goes

00:35:19.780 --> 00:35:23.079
back to what I meant in the five minutes in the

00:35:23.079 --> 00:35:25.639
beginning I was speaking of just five minutes

00:35:25.639 --> 00:35:30.519
in a day take five minutes and and make sense

00:35:30.519 --> 00:35:34.139
of your Artistry make sense of what you're doing

00:35:34.139 --> 00:35:36.940
make sense that if this is what you're going

00:35:36.940 --> 00:35:41.199
to do You gotta understand the level of people

00:35:41.199 --> 00:35:45.900
and the mindset of people that would want to

00:35:45.900 --> 00:35:50.760
take in or listen to what you have. So if it

00:35:50.760 --> 00:35:54.079
be the case of, if you're gonna get into music,

00:35:55.219 --> 00:35:58.179
remember the model of music right now. I'm not

00:35:58.179 --> 00:36:00.760
telling people to do it how everybody else is

00:36:00.760 --> 00:36:03.880
doing it, but remember, there's a level that

00:36:03.880 --> 00:36:07.940
you have to do this at. That requires a lot of

00:36:07.940 --> 00:36:13.800
you. So you just can't just be just like oh The

00:36:13.800 --> 00:36:15.619
artists I used to work with it's to him all the

00:36:15.619 --> 00:36:20.420
time You just can't pop out Randomly and feel

00:36:20.420 --> 00:36:23.519
that your randomness is supposed to be accepted

00:36:23.519 --> 00:36:27.900
by anybody That's not the that's not the model

00:36:27.900 --> 00:36:30.199
of being an artist. The model of being an artist

00:36:30.199 --> 00:36:33.480
is connecting to people Can I say, hey, say,

00:36:33.619 --> 00:36:35.380
look, Drake, man, we've been waiting on Drake

00:36:35.380 --> 00:36:38.079
to drop Iceman, man, and people getting tired

00:36:38.079 --> 00:36:39.880
of waiting for that. Like, the hype ain't even

00:36:39.880 --> 00:36:41.800
like how they're supposed to be, and that's Drake.

00:36:42.320 --> 00:36:44.599
So what make you think people really gonna be

00:36:44.599 --> 00:36:46.840
anticipating and waiting for you? What is so

00:36:46.840 --> 00:36:49.920
special about you? Whole entire point right there.

00:36:50.099 --> 00:36:53.980
So if nobody's looking for you, what are you

00:36:53.980 --> 00:36:57.340
going to do to make these people look for you?

00:36:57.559 --> 00:37:00.820
I mean you gotta say in a face you you doing

00:37:00.820 --> 00:37:04.199
the opposite you are I'm gonna play Mysterious

00:37:04.199 --> 00:37:06.880
like we can't do that. We can't be Prince. We

00:37:06.880 --> 00:37:09.139
can't like that I'm saying is you see people

00:37:09.139 --> 00:37:12.099
like boo. You see people like boozy see boozy

00:37:12.099 --> 00:37:15.320
different situation Not really an industry rapper.

00:37:15.760 --> 00:37:18.400
But one thing about we talk about social media

00:37:18.400 --> 00:37:22.960
He poses just random stuff on his IG and a lot

00:37:22.960 --> 00:37:25.639
of people look at it like that's unprofessional

00:37:25.900 --> 00:37:28.619
But no, what he's doing is he's keeping his name

00:37:28.619 --> 00:37:30.880
relevant. He's keeping himself out there buzzing

00:37:30.880 --> 00:37:33.840
because he knows he might not have the impact

00:37:33.840 --> 00:37:36.760
of a Drake or a diss or that, you know what I'm

00:37:36.760 --> 00:37:39.900
saying? And he's been in the game. Boozy is boozy.

00:37:40.039 --> 00:37:42.699
The legend legend. But he know most of his fans

00:37:42.699 --> 00:37:46.719
are street fans and street fans want to see something

00:37:46.719 --> 00:37:50.340
daily. They get online. So his friends are mostly

00:37:50.340 --> 00:37:53.239
online. You get what I'm saying? The first thing

00:37:53.239 --> 00:37:56.619
they do is log in. Facebook Instagram who's he

00:37:56.619 --> 00:37:59.820
knows that he has the streets so it's about it's

00:37:59.820 --> 00:38:03.739
about knowing who you are also as an artist and

00:38:03.739 --> 00:38:06.360
What people are looking for if you know, you

00:38:06.360 --> 00:38:09.059
ain't one of them big -time rappers or whatever

00:38:09.059 --> 00:38:14.340
You got to stay somewhere in a face Somehow some

00:38:14.340 --> 00:38:21.719
way I'm saying So let me offer a technique and

00:38:21.719 --> 00:38:26.449
I'll show this on the next pod because it just

00:38:26.449 --> 00:38:30.030
makes sense to add that visual to make it make

00:38:30.030 --> 00:38:32.230
sense. Some of y 'all don't see it enough so

00:38:32.230 --> 00:38:34.670
I'll show you what I mean by what's enough. I'm

00:38:34.670 --> 00:38:37.989
gonna give you an example so this makes sense

00:38:37.989 --> 00:38:40.889
to you because I don't think people show you

00:38:40.889 --> 00:38:43.630
within an industry what's going on. I'm gonna

00:38:43.630 --> 00:38:45.269
show you what situation and I'm gonna show you

00:38:45.269 --> 00:38:49.070
what goes on behind all of this podcast stuff

00:38:49.070 --> 00:38:53.340
so you can circulate your mind around content

00:38:53.340 --> 00:38:58.420
creation, you know, at least some of the shorthand

00:38:58.420 --> 00:39:00.619
stuff that you can't, that you probably wouldn't

00:39:00.619 --> 00:39:03.559
understand, that you gotta make sense of, that

00:39:03.559 --> 00:39:07.559
you don't want to be like, oh, do I need to really

00:39:07.559 --> 00:39:10.320
learn that? You'll need to learn it. So this

00:39:10.320 --> 00:39:12.980
is something, you can't skip steps. Certain steps

00:39:12.980 --> 00:39:15.960
just have to be done. But the thing is, if you

00:39:15.960 --> 00:39:18.760
do it enough, you will learn it. And once you've

00:39:18.760 --> 00:39:21.659
learned it, It can turn to something that you

00:39:21.659 --> 00:39:26.019
love only if the time is allowed and allotted.

00:39:26.340 --> 00:39:28.139
And can I say one more thing, bro, to end it

00:39:28.139 --> 00:39:32.860
out? I'm sorry, but individuality matters. Like

00:39:32.860 --> 00:39:36.539
you always have said, individuality matters.

00:39:36.679 --> 00:39:41.039
Who you are, like who you are out here, like

00:39:41.039 --> 00:39:43.619
not just on social media, but in the world, can

00:39:43.619 --> 00:39:48.099
help your brand. I was just, like you say, being

00:39:48.099 --> 00:39:53.179
myself, When I go to like things at my kids school,

00:39:53.179 --> 00:39:58.019
for example Guess who my kids, you know, it's

00:39:58.019 --> 00:40:01.059
so tech. It's so technology that my kids will

00:40:01.059 --> 00:40:04.400
pull up they daddy Oh, this my daddy. It's my

00:40:04.400 --> 00:40:08.320
dad music blah blah blah Okay. Now the kids is

00:40:08.320 --> 00:40:11.219
in there this true story the kids are in there

00:40:11.219 --> 00:40:14.820
dancing to my music I have a whole school that

00:40:14.820 --> 00:40:18.800
know my my songs now So what does that open the

00:40:18.800 --> 00:40:22.980
door for me to do? Okay, I podcast Okay, let

00:40:22.980 --> 00:40:25.480
me talk to these teachers cuz now they're seeing

00:40:25.480 --> 00:40:29.320
the kids feel away about me So let me come and

00:40:29.320 --> 00:40:32.840
talk to the kids and also press my Brit my business

00:40:32.840 --> 00:40:36.039
avenues that I got going on Oh, I got a podcast.

00:40:36.119 --> 00:40:39.719
We talked up to the youth. We talked about you

00:40:39.719 --> 00:40:44.239
know Integrity life, you know music you want

00:40:44.239 --> 00:40:46.300
to get involved with that music teachers here

00:40:46.320 --> 00:40:47.679
You know what I'm saying? We talk about a lot

00:40:47.679 --> 00:40:51.420
of things like that. So it opens just being you

00:40:51.420 --> 00:40:54.840
opens and brings traction to the bigger picture,

00:40:54.840 --> 00:40:57.559
the brand. You know, everything matters. Like

00:40:57.559 --> 00:41:01.039
nothing is small that you do online or offline

00:41:01.039 --> 00:41:03.920
in the world. You know what I'm saying? It all

00:41:03.920 --> 00:41:07.420
comes back to the brand. So that's when I said

00:41:07.420 --> 00:41:10.780
being yourself, being real at all times, being

00:41:10.780 --> 00:41:13.780
you, it matters. You know what I'm saying? It'll

00:41:13.780 --> 00:41:18.699
take you far because that one fan is a lot of

00:41:18.699 --> 00:41:22.460
fans that one extra fan you get is is a lot of

00:41:22.460 --> 00:41:24.280
fans and we got to stop looking at it is just

00:41:24.280 --> 00:41:28.599
like all that small no any support that you get

00:41:28.599 --> 00:41:33.639
any age any race because i can go do a show at

00:41:33.639 --> 00:41:37.800
my kid's school you know saying like people don't

00:41:37.800 --> 00:41:40.400
realize that and if the kids love it guess what

00:41:40.400 --> 00:41:42.639
the parents are most likely going to check it

00:41:42.639 --> 00:41:45.429
out who is this guy You know who you know, who

00:41:45.429 --> 00:41:50.650
is this guy? Okay, let me let me Google Bingo

00:41:50.650 --> 00:41:55.050
I'm saying it go hand -in -hand. So Like they

00:41:55.050 --> 00:41:57.809
how I think now like I like we've talked about

00:41:57.809 --> 00:42:01.329
I've matured, you know, just business -wise savvy

00:42:01.329 --> 00:42:05.789
I realized the free things that we can do To

00:42:05.789 --> 00:42:08.730
bring traction to our brand or whatever we got

00:42:08.730 --> 00:42:13.210
or whatever you got so I'm sorry, man. I'm be

00:42:13.210 --> 00:42:16.869
quiet now But when it's on my mind, I'd just

00:42:16.869 --> 00:42:19.789
be wanting to say it, but I'm sorry. We already

00:42:19.789 --> 00:42:25.630
going over, I'm sorry. As I was saying, making

00:42:25.630 --> 00:42:31.730
sure that your... When you are... Like I said,

00:42:31.849 --> 00:42:34.289
the visual part of it will make more sense. When

00:42:34.289 --> 00:42:39.070
I show you the visuals of what I'm building and

00:42:39.070 --> 00:42:42.349
understanding what I have to do on a regular.

00:42:43.030 --> 00:42:45.250
Some may look at it as a fan, you know, like,

00:42:45.449 --> 00:42:48.150
oh, you know, that may be too much. But the thing

00:42:48.150 --> 00:42:51.829
is, is really, it's a system. And that reason

00:42:51.829 --> 00:42:54.929
why I'm showing the system is once you create

00:42:54.929 --> 00:42:59.170
your system and the formula that it takes for

00:42:59.170 --> 00:43:03.269
you to make it complete, it'll make you go a

00:43:03.269 --> 00:43:07.250
lot harder. And it'd be way easier. It may be

00:43:07.250 --> 00:43:09.869
easy to you. It may not be easy to some, may

00:43:09.869 --> 00:43:12.360
not be easy to whoever. But just remember for

00:43:12.360 --> 00:43:14.619
you, you have to come up with a method. If you're

00:43:14.619 --> 00:43:17.199
going to do this in an independent mindset, just

00:43:17.199 --> 00:43:19.780
remember that. Don't take the independent lane

00:43:19.780 --> 00:43:22.480
and be lazy. Don't take the independent lane

00:43:22.480 --> 00:43:26.340
and be lazy. If it really needs, again, the part

00:43:26.340 --> 00:43:28.800
of a company being behind you or a bigger brand

00:43:28.800 --> 00:43:31.900
being behind you, take that lane. Because that

00:43:31.900 --> 00:43:34.559
might be what you need to do. That may be what

00:43:34.559 --> 00:43:37.599
you need to do is then jump behind and get with

00:43:37.599 --> 00:43:41.000
a brand that knows what's going on. Versus just

00:43:41.000 --> 00:43:42.760
sitting at home and just trying to figure it

00:43:42.760 --> 00:43:44.260
out all on your own and you just make yourself

00:43:44.260 --> 00:43:47.960
frustrated Don't do it that way be go be part

00:43:47.960 --> 00:43:51.219
of something that's moving and or join some team.

00:43:51.480 --> 00:43:55.019
That's Moving don't don't be lazy. Just learn

00:43:55.019 --> 00:43:58.119
but learn as you're there. Don't just don't just

00:43:58.119 --> 00:44:00.920
go You know, sit around and do nothing. Learn

00:44:00.920 --> 00:44:02.260
the business. Learn what's going on. That's what

00:44:02.260 --> 00:44:04.900
I'm gonna say. Don't stop. Don't stop. Keep going.

00:44:04.900 --> 00:44:08.099
So you can make sense of it and it not be a thing

00:44:08.099 --> 00:44:11.500
that you fall off in the end. So, need help?

00:44:12.059 --> 00:44:15.820
Ask for help. Don't be the lazy person to sit

00:44:15.820 --> 00:44:17.579
there and be like, oh, I ain't gonna learn nothing.

00:44:17.719 --> 00:44:19.360
I'm gonna just sit here. No, learn something.

00:44:19.519 --> 00:44:21.940
It's good to learn something because in the end,

00:44:22.300 --> 00:44:23.800
that business or that brand that you with may

00:44:23.800 --> 00:44:27.789
not be there forever. And when they pack the

00:44:27.789 --> 00:44:30.630
doors up and close up, you learn something. You

00:44:30.630 --> 00:44:33.269
can take it with you and make something of it

00:44:33.269 --> 00:44:35.989
versus just, oh, I don't know what to do next,

00:44:36.329 --> 00:44:38.889
or the woe is me statement. So don't ever put

00:44:38.889 --> 00:44:41.349
yourself in a position to where you're not learning.

00:44:41.510 --> 00:44:43.949
Continue to learn because the only way you can

00:44:43.949 --> 00:44:46.989
get to the next level is by learning. If you

00:44:46.989 --> 00:44:48.469
don't learn nothing, you ain't gonna never get

00:44:48.469 --> 00:44:50.849
to the next level. But again, ask for the help.

00:44:50.929 --> 00:44:53.119
If you're the person that's giving help, If you

00:44:53.119 --> 00:44:55.139
find your help worthy enough to give, give it.

00:44:55.159 --> 00:44:57.320
If you can't find it worthy enough, don't give

00:44:57.320 --> 00:44:59.940
it. Stop just handing it out and if you don't

00:44:59.940 --> 00:45:01.539
feel like giving it to nobody, don't give it

00:45:01.539 --> 00:45:03.539
to nobody. Nobody wants your advice anyway if

00:45:03.539 --> 00:45:06.099
it came that way. So at the end of the day, you

00:45:06.099 --> 00:45:08.719
need somebody that's willing and open or somebody

00:45:08.719 --> 00:45:11.119
needs that person that's willing and open to

00:45:11.119 --> 00:45:19.409
give. Lastly, take this with you. This month

00:45:19.409 --> 00:45:22.949
was considered Autism Speaks, or Autism Month,

00:45:23.309 --> 00:45:26.349
National Autism Month, or World Autism Month,

00:45:26.469 --> 00:45:31.130
as I would say. Some don't understand what it

00:45:31.130 --> 00:45:36.530
is and what autism is. Take the time to set aside

00:45:36.530 --> 00:45:39.309
one day, just for five seconds and look and understand

00:45:39.309 --> 00:45:42.619
what autism is. Just read it. Maybe find a couple,

00:45:42.619 --> 00:45:46.019
you know, little inserts, maybe videos of people

00:45:46.019 --> 00:45:49.619
who have autism. Learn it. Because we need the

00:45:49.619 --> 00:45:51.840
next generation and the generations to come to

00:45:51.840 --> 00:45:54.079
understand what's going on with this because

00:45:54.079 --> 00:45:57.599
the case of this being misunderstood and a lot

00:45:57.599 --> 00:46:01.920
of mistreatment is coming behind kids and adults

00:46:01.920 --> 00:46:05.579
who have autism. If you're one of those people,

00:46:05.679 --> 00:46:08.760
you know, who don't understand and you know somebody

00:46:08.760 --> 00:46:12.380
that's in a situation, Hit me up, dwanbrino at

00:46:12.380 --> 00:46:15.280
gmail .com. I'm gonna add that in my own personal

00:46:15.280 --> 00:46:19.860
way, because I really want these people to understand.

00:46:20.440 --> 00:46:24.920
I just seen a situation where a cop, like, pulled

00:46:24.920 --> 00:46:27.920
a gun out on somebody that was autistic. And

00:46:27.920 --> 00:46:31.380
they, like, they didn't understand, the autistic

00:46:31.380 --> 00:46:33.619
person didn't understand what the cop was saying.

00:46:34.000 --> 00:46:36.539
And they kept walking towards them. So this is

00:46:36.539 --> 00:46:38.420
serious, because there's people losing lives

00:46:38.420 --> 00:46:41.719
over this, man. I seen, I seen stuff like that,

00:46:42.119 --> 00:46:45.219
like, you know, and, and it's like, what's the

00:46:45.219 --> 00:46:48.099
solution to it? And this is why, you know, like

00:46:48.099 --> 00:46:50.780
I asked you the questions, like, what's the solution

00:46:50.780 --> 00:46:54.639
to that, man? Because it's like, we like, I think

00:46:54.639 --> 00:46:57.800
the solution is we need to be more educated on

00:46:57.800 --> 00:47:00.000
it. Like the people that doesn't have it need

00:47:00.000 --> 00:47:03.340
to be more aware of it and more educated by these

00:47:03.340 --> 00:47:05.960
people in authority positions, like these cops.

00:47:06.280 --> 00:47:09.559
y 'all mistreating people that don't even understand

00:47:09.559 --> 00:47:11.800
you. Like, you know, and you're not even taking

00:47:11.800 --> 00:47:14.780
the time to understand. And I think education,

00:47:15.039 --> 00:47:17.940
educating them is important because they really

00:47:17.940 --> 00:47:20.880
need to know. Awareness. You said the one word,

00:47:21.059 --> 00:47:26.199
awareness. And that's basically what we're doing

00:47:26.199 --> 00:47:29.239
now. Bringing awareness to it. A lot of people

00:47:29.239 --> 00:47:33.099
don't get to realize and understand it just because

00:47:33.099 --> 00:47:35.280
nobody is bringing it up. So that's why I choose

00:47:35.280 --> 00:47:38.659
to bring it up, because I deal with it every

00:47:38.659 --> 00:47:42.900
single day with my twin girls. So, always love

00:47:42.900 --> 00:47:45.900
to the community, love to everybody, but also

00:47:45.900 --> 00:47:48.219
love to those that are in the disability community,

00:47:48.360 --> 00:47:51.340
those that have disabilities. All love to y 'all

00:47:51.340 --> 00:47:54.340
too as well. At the end of the day, we just want

00:47:54.340 --> 00:47:57.269
to see everybody, you know, care for in life

00:47:57.269 --> 00:48:00.030
and everybody just remember you don't have everybody

00:48:00.030 --> 00:48:04.630
is somebody everybody everybody everybody's entitled

00:48:04.630 --> 00:48:07.789
to some dignity and at the end of the day if

00:48:07.789 --> 00:48:10.469
you don't understand what it is to go through

00:48:10.469 --> 00:48:14.289
something your day is coming all right so love

00:48:14.289 --> 00:48:19.190
