Man, your niggas stay out of the way.

You can put up in the crowd.

Bens were moving out, going to the ousey side. Yeah, they used to pay hell down the crown here they got about forty.

Damn.

So take us back to the young Yellow coming up in Blood and what it was like growing up in Dallas.

Man, same same, everybody saying so everything want good everything. I'm you know, we head out every day struggle like everybody nigga.

Had, Like everybody ain't I gotta run up. Yeah even with the money, you still got your problem with it. How you gonna no gay, how you're gonna deal with that?

And you're real deep into sports, right Yeah?

What you play?

Okay?

Are you not good?

I would like that.

Like that friend.

Yeah, But it was just like a nigga was really like he was trying to sing with all the niggasn't really like get in the trouble and plays. So everybody know when you're talking to play football, you got to stay in one high school.

All that trying to transfer and all that.

That's just.

I was just a kick down school. So that kid is I knew that was kind of then when I just kept home getting kicked out of school.

Yeah.

Yeah, when you know the news it was for you. I ain't gonna know.

I started rapping and like I started coming up with rapp thirteen when I went to the studio after the morning or something. I started like coming out with CD and parties and the motherfuck was knowing song like in high school and ship when I got out of hospital, they got in too, like brill seal.

Yeah, So what you think like when the fans, when the fans kind of say, I ain't gonna say you slow down in the music, but like a little bit of hiatus, Like what would you say to the.

Fans, He's gonna have haters.

Yeah, you can't get them.

One thing is you know you can't get them why he said, like he ain't been going as hard as you was going.

Like niggas just go to chilling this shit right about the music.

How I'm gonna do ship with my label at that time, So.

It wasn't like out going to you're like, you know how like.

Little Nigga fail then they read there love them to death, but it was like they were kind of going with an older approach. So I was like, I felt like song that I know that put show them close to

Yeah, even like to sign.

So like Nigga throwing out of it, but I ain't trying to throw after good cuts shi, you know what I'm saying.

But I don't want to.

Keep you don't waste exactly. So like a nigga just throwing after she's trying to keep ship going. But it was just a paper I was just trying to get.

Him out of it.

Wasn't my father, if I knew, if I knew, if I had none of our problem. I would have went that round, but.

Like come from the street or just coming from here the nigga from the hood to the music game, like going already tease.

What you want to be the obtalig.

Trying to kind of like the street.

You gotta figure that out, like you know, you can't before you can't rant like how you threw it into trees. But it's ship just like the streets, but in the in the in the industry, waiting tipe shit and make niggas sit.

You know what I'm saying, You just gotta it's it's still fucking nigga still people who.

Be on that sh shiit like just.

Oh you din know what the same ship, bro, Just remember just how you feel.

What about when your ship started clicking, you know what I'm saying, shit started going to the next level.

I mean the people you had to leave behind people, you know what I'm saying, I probably haven't believed.

Probably like the two niggas, like they was already.

That was already I already kind of knew what going on when them and then like wanted to liken the clean stept Am like, oh, I gotta cut you off.

So by the time I popped out. The niggas already gone.

How you deal with like entitlement, like everybody thinking you away something and you play they deal the ship?

Uh, I don't really have too many of them around like a niggas they know like I'll tell them, I look at that flace, but I ain't even gonna do you in the name like nigga, I got real deals and take care of my whole family something like a nigga look out for your brother. But I ain't really

I ain't nobody nothing. Now what's the ship?

You telling the young nigga though, young niggas uh and all of you all as I'm trying to say that she likes.

Stay out the street really just kind of like stay out, stay out the way, really trying to get some money instead of that d d ain't weren't saying that she agreed how too much everything?

So she is what you trying to stay out.

So what's the biggest lesson?

Like you know what I'm saying, having a hit record and they get it in that space and of course probably seeing like you know what I'm saying, who your true people is and kind of separating yourself from everybody, some of the faith people. What's the biggest life lesson you learned on on that ascension? That's the other busy Listen.

I don't think you really got nothing to do with like what you said, but like the biggest lesson what I think with the music, and I think you gotta stay true to yourself.

You came to your whole audience like sometime, motherfuck, you can try.

To go like to commercials and lose your people and lose if your steam trying to please the recor labels and ship like that. So you got to really trying to come to us like nah, this is what I needed to put you know what I'm.

Saying to Nigga, You can't.

They are trying to make you like a whole nothing identity, but people want to hear what they like came up you know what I'm saying. So I feel like you got to stay there to yourself this ship, beenfal with the music. Like if don't try to get to commercial or to Hollywood, you know what I'm saying.

So when you're telling young nigga like maybe baby, maybe hold off on that deal, Like if you get a deal.

I'm not gonna say that.

Okay, this.

All how I say you cold off on the deal unless you're trying to get a bit fit yourself in a better situation and you're trying to like and that the song grow so you can like go there and like negotiate have lyrics. But like this is I but like don't you know them? Bro, that's a real ship. You're not feel to want to spend that fad. You're not finna wanna do how the ship that they doing.

How to see it? Bro, you have to let somebody eat with you. You know what I'm saying.

Everybody not fit for that ship. That nigga don't understand like a lot of independent and a really a lot of the niggas really not independent.

Like you know what I'm saying.

They got other like distributive deals the language ship, but that distribution ship.

I mean that independent ship.

That's if this thing is about, Yeah, you spending your money your ship, Like you gotta put these players together. You gotta get these people in order, Like I don't know everything that I need to know behind the scene.

We don't got the same context.

Like were I want to be in.

Like I know for a fact Independent ain't gonna do nothing. But I want to reach like a high height. And I know these people ain't gonnay nig get up there by myself. Ain't nobody gonna they gotta have. You gotta have somebody in your pocket. You know what I'm saying, niggas thinks about Like when Nigga had us and downs in that career, you gonna have it. You're gonna be able to steal, have that money to put up for yourself to get that back.

Like that's real.

The labels gonna have that money to spend that bad if you if you got the music, and you know what I'm saying, don't have if you don't still.

Nigga life, don't lie, Like you gotta understand that life on life.

So it's like if you gonna still have that bad or if you're gonna be disciplined enough to do what.

You gotta do.

Bro.

That's a whole other world.

Bro, and that ship like have a mean self. You just jump on one song, How then the time can you do that different?

You gotta get on the social media, with the with the all the not damn play listing, y'all, all the god damn the digital part.

Nigga, that ship is.

It's it's bigger than just the music that people at understand a lot of songs we even listen to now really don't be his. It's just because they got that machine behind it and they taught the niggas to listen to this j Yeah, just being one hundred.

That's real, that's game. We have a busy your artists out there. You gotta look at you gotta look at it. You come tell them.

Okay, wrap that.

Now this day and the rest of the day today motherhood can Yeah. Backstage, backwoods, together land. You know what it is, big shallow easy, big live little streets. It's big fact, no capt bitch, backwoods, backstage and together land.

You know what it is, Big facts, live, big bank baby j d J screen welcoming right now.

The one and only Angela, you.

Go a nice big couch. I'm stuck to it. It's hot out here.

Oh yeah, I said, how the sun and that hate treating you? You know what?

I feel good now?

I'm okay.

We just got off the stage doing the service. Ten years the service this year.

Congratulation. Thank you.

Yes, So let us know you always have so many fabulous things going on. I mean, you got a way over Angelae. Uh, you're an entrepreneur, you know. I'm saying, podcast like this kind of we like for people to pop the ship on big facts.

So pop your ship right, Well, let me see, let me pop my ship way Angela, nationally syndicated. Okay, radio Hall of Fame.

Yeah.

Then I also have my copy company copy up mixt people. We have a teen line. I have my juice bar nursed by Beam in Brooklyn and after our real estate we actually just finished at thirty unit building in midtowny Trade and we're about to start leading that. Yeah, Dobby in the trade next week. Just getting all that together.

And at this point, you know what I'm saying, When you made your money and you're at the Radio Hall of Fame shit like that, what motivates you?

Now?

Like?

What keep going.

I am motivated by making money, but you know what I think is the ideal thing where you can make money and do good things to people at the same time. So if you're like, like, I want to make this money, but at the same time that I'm making it, I want to make sure I'm doing positive things in the community. I think those go hand in hand because I hate when I see people making money and they don't do

What's the thing? Go ahead?

No, So basically my question to you is, as a female and a male dominated industry, how do you kind of bob and weave the bullshit and rise above.

People feeling that you might not be as equal to your male counterpart.

I just think of my bank account. I'm gonna be honest. Sometimes when people be talking shit, I'd be so tempted to respond, but then I'd be like, look what I got, Like, look what I got going on?

Right?

And sometimes you got to keep that and focus because there's a lot of people that would love to see you getting some shit, and we've seen people like go on social media say the wrong thing, lose opportunities, and nobody's gonna catch me like that. And so my main thing is I'm never going back and forth with nobody. I have too much to lose. There's people who have nothing to lose exactly that do that. When you know you out there and you have a lot to lose,

That for you to see like no, but I like I take a lot of pointers from you because you despite like whatever's going on around you or like whatever's happening, you're still like laser focused on the shit that you want to do for yourself and a positive like And that's that's big because in a world where.

It's full of negativity, it's kind of hard to stay in pogus.

Man, I be feeling like I'm blessed all the time.

It be little things.

I'm like, I got upgraded to Delta one. I'm blessed, Like thank you God. You know what I mean, but this coach flight and God like things like that. I'm gonna be honest, like coming out to this festival, that's how tell I'm saying that they just upgraded me to the presidential suite when I checked in, I don't know who loved me over there?

What he doing that?

God is like I cannot be mad at like all the great things been happening in my life. But I also feel like when you put out that energy, that's the energy. That's the energy that comes back to you, so you never know, Like just that, I feel like that's a real thing. Like I've been in situations where I feel like God is like really looking out for me.

What's some of the weirdest things you don't heard? Like when you let people call in, like, what's some of the weirdesthit to stick to you that you're like God?

I mean, one woman calls in for tell us a Secret and said she got paid because that guy wanted to watch her shit. You know, there's money and everything, so people got all kind of fetishes.

Hey damn Yeah, I feel like.

Tell It's a Secret, we get like the craziest cost for that segment. And when I was putting my show together. The idea was to have a segment that is like no judgment. People could call in and like confession and we're not gonna like say nothing or judge you. And it has gone like completely crazy, just the things that people are calling in about judging. They know, always judging, and I I tell him this, may no, why are you judging the ship?

You done?

Did that? I know about?

Okay, So but you know, I think that we also live in a society where everybody's always judging every little thing, and so I like to just let people call it anonymously.

And as much as people be.

Mad, it's not my fault, Like real life is crazy shit.

Yeah, just because I want to throw this out there because we always celebrate geminis and cancer and still everybody with capricorns are so great.

Capricorns are super loyal, I think more than any other sign. Plus be the goat when people talk about the goat, like that's literally the Capricorn. And we work really really hard and we're very ambitious, and I think.

I had to get that out there. We'll never celebrate capricorns.

Noah, we said capricorns are like ambitious, we're really like slow and steady and what we do and we're super loyal and.

That's what we're known for.

And that's definitely the all day.

We're stubborn too. We are stubborn.

Yeah, and we're stubborn. Yeah, you know, but listen, it ain't nothing from with that. We'll give you a chances, and then when you mess it up, it's over.

Like permanently, absolutely absolutely, So tell us you do you like? I mean, I want to say, do you like Dallas with it? When you come to Dallas? Do you do anything when you come here to Dallas.

I was telling my friends, like, first of all, I have like twenty people with me because everybody wanted to come to Dallas. But I always say, come into Dallas and feel like such a rich place.

Yeah.

I was in even Market today. They said it's the first Marcus Is in Dallas.

Yeah, oh wow.

They were telling me that this is where it's all like started.

And so I just really like it here. The food has been.

Amazing, so I definitely gain weight and then lost it today in this heat, so that's a positive thing. But it's very hospitable here too, And so I think people like always talk about Houston, but Dallas I've had so many good times here, so it's really fun is to come back and be at this basketball.

What city you get the most love in for like when you do your podcast, I think Detroit.

When we did our tour, Detroit but sold out. It was crazy, Chicago, Chicago, was in Atlanta. I would say all of those cities.

Atlanta was wild.

You know we had on that episode, it was it was crazy. I'm not gonna lie. We had trouble Wife and Luci oh yeah, yeah, I mean it was a really amazing episode. And then when we did Chicago, ge Herbalt came out and Marie came out right, we had Sata baby. Yeah, you know, we had ice wear Vessel. So when we did our tour, we got so much

You feel good waking up a little later for radio, Now.

That's amazing.

I woke up at four am in the morning for twelve years, and so now I'll wake up at like seven. It's a blessing. When I tell you gotta be looking out, I'll wake up at it and I feel like I'm so well rested, Like I'm not gonna lie.

That shit is hard.

People would be like, oh, you get used to but you'll never get used to that. It's just not normal, y'all. Ain't never had to do that.

About six six or seven of myself, Yeah, not fall I'm out of that. So for people moving and shaking on the goal like that, Like, what's a couple of gems you'll give people, like maybe on some health shit or some spiritual shit or something that I keep going.

Even for me right now, it's been hard for me to like take care of myself the way that I should because I've been working so much. I think it's important to give yourself things to look forward to. Self care is a big deal, and so even just getting massages like that's maintenance. Accupuncture. I don't know if you ever did accupuncture, but oh, y'all gotta try accupuncture when

So we are backstage with Backwoods.

So I don't know if you indulged, but what does Backwoods mean to the hip hop culture to you?

I mean, I think I'm from Brooklyn, so Backwards was it every store, every bodega?

You know?

Growing up, that's what people always used to smoke. I feel like it's one of the staples when it comes to like all these different people happen their own brands, Backwards always ignored. Yeah, it's still hearing clearly, and they still making money because they're sponsoring this. Y'all got a whole set up.

We are here reappreciation when you come to the at.

I know Scream used to be my friend.

I don't know what changed changed. I used to text every birthday. She changed her number, she got in the Hall of Fame.

I still got the same nothing, but you know, you.

Text somebody and come back green.

Yeah.

Always.

I don't know, but me and Scream used to be cool. But you know, things happen, People change.

A whole yeah Chicago.

Yeah. I said, what your experience like together.

Vibe?

I got Hre really early, so I was excited to see everybody outside. But it's a big vibe. I heard Drew Hill just going crazy.

Yeah.

I love me a good plastic army group right, having a good time.

You've been a part of a lot of amazing music, like some time ago and like even recently now you're making a lot of amazing music. I guess kind of give some of the people out there just in case a little refresher and some of those part of Basically a lot of people.

Met me when I was like sixteen and I was, you know, making mixtapes in my basement. You might know me from Winning's Diary, yes exactly, or maybe you know me from simbling and our collaborations I have a million record going.

You know, I've had three styles with jac and you know most others.

I mean recently, I'm independent now, so I've been releasing a lot of album It's a lot of music and I'm all.

For the girls. So you know, if you got a sister mom, you know what I mean. De're familiar with me?

Yes, what it is?

So what's your what's your five like when you when you're going to the studio. What kind of vib you gotta set to make those hits? What's some of the sentences you gotta have in that studio?

You know, I write a lot of my music in my own personal space. So a lot of my biggest songs I wrote them home. I kind of like to like be in my solitude and just put my thoughts on paper without anybody distracting me.

I don't like it. I don't like all the rye rye like candles and had all.

Stuff like that.

I love a good moved candles, low light them light, you know, real steamy kind of what do you like?

I'm a tequila girls, so tequila John Yo and Najo an one.

Okay, why I know on a South day, what you think makes you makes you unique, like what you're gonna bring to the game, and nobody never broke.

You know what I think is the fack that I don't sugarcoat anything in my music, Like whatever I'm going through, You're gonna know about it, and you know I'm not hiding anything or trying to be something I'm not. And I think that's it's the Chicago in me, you know, like we don't really like take no for an answer, so you know I can follow off today and tomorrow you'll see me at the top again. And you know that that takes a lot for like artists these days,

Yeah, But I feel like in today's culture, like our young people more especially like are only seeing like these girls that are only closing about going up there making money, and I mean they don't have anybody that can sound them like, hey, they ain't going so well or my boyfriend let me and I'm gonna be okay because exactly I'm process and I'm working for Roughie.

You know what I'm saying.

I lost my job, but it's not the end of the world because I'm gonna figure it out and I'm gonna put my feet down and get in the mud and can get it out.

That's what I'm outside. I'm really about inspiring, encouraging the girls.

And you know, I'm team natural, so it's it's it's a different process for me, and you know, I really sneak to what I do best and I'm not trying to be something I'm not.

And the girls need to see that, you know, the girls growing up, they need to see that too.

Yeah.

Yeah, and I'm sure the appreciate it right up.

I y'all, I'm a cry baby.

Flow.

Yeah, we always flow.

What's your proudest what's your proudest career moment?

My proudest career moment.

I did my first theater tour last year and we actually sold out every day, so that was about maybe a thousand, fifteen hundred tickets in every city, and I'm really proud of that, y'all. I'm independent, so I'm off my own budget and everything I do comes from my own pocket and my own resources.

So that meant a lot.

To see them bands in every city, part they shit and really support. It's hard to tour in these times, y'all. I really know behind the scenes it's so hard to really get out here in d it.

So I was proud of that.

So how do you think being independent has made appreciate your fan base?

Ward?

Man?

It means so much to me because as an independent artist, all you have is really your platform, your Instagram, your Twitter. So you know, as if you're signed, you may have different resources, different reach. But my fans really connect to me off.

The socials and just loving the music, So it means a lot.

Okay, can elaboration. What's that dream collaboration for you? The person that you love the collaboration.

My dream collaboration.

You know, I love the girls, honestly, I'm a I'm a fan of all the R and B girls, Sissy Summer Walker, kayliny Irie Lennox.

Absolutely.

Summer Oh my god, yes, but all.

The R and B girls.

I got love for everybody doing their thing right now. You know, if we all could be on one song, that would be crazy.

We are almost at eight years, so we'll be preaching eight years.

Hundred almost three hundred episodes, but also payt.

Trump the twenty seventeen the probably second hundred episod, the content.

I did the feel when people call you'all a section in the city of podcasts.

First off, those are white women, so not really that. I love what we're able to talk about. I think it's fun.

I think everyone is fucking afraid of us, which is crazy, but.

It's like you, maybe they ain't afraid of us.

Maybe Dad with all the ship.

No, but like for the artists that are performing here, definitely they scared of us.

They don't really want to come on the pot.

I ain't gonnare I ain't gonna hold you. And I felt like I see the way I was just grinding to Drew Hills.

Oh yes, they got damn The song song just.

Had me even.

Beauty though.

Listen, I loved it, y'all. It's hot, Like, what is going on?

Why are you?

Who told you to wear a hoodie in Texas? I need to I need to ask you questions.

We didn't know. We didn't know, so no one looked at the weather. I did thought it was Atlanta ninety. You thought it was an Atlanta ninety.

Yeah.

Another this was like drop that Mosquito ninety, Like this is no funny.

Do you think when you start a podcasting you found your purpose. I think it's giving me a purpose.

I think like we got in at the right time.

I know a lot of people are still trying to figure it out, like I didn't think that me sharing my stories.

Would be like my legacy or like I've been walking out as the pestiful.

All day and the people were like, oh my god, and we were like yeah, people like y'all talk about sex, this is easy, and they kind of diminish what we do to go out and see, like how we.

Really affect people.

Can't nobody tell me shit like I love meeting our fans because we helped them nev dating relationships and themselves.

But just what I wanted to ask you, so, what made you get to a place where you were comfortable enough speaking about the quote unquote unspeakable.

You know it's crazy.

I'm in therapy right now.

I can't go back and listen.

Here's niggas and I like them, and now I'm like, ya, no, I ain't gonna do I'm like, I've just been real throughout. I absolutely don't advocate for half the shit I did five six years ago.

Like, baby, if you want to find me out, it's first. Plus I was taking economy on spirit.

It was met Yeah, yeah, it's no better.

Yeah, here's the first flight ticket.

That's it.

But like I was really like, niggas book me on the spirit yo, yo, if I think you know, I didn't know no better.

So I'm like like now when I listen back like awful. Yeah, I think I think the older you do get, the more like you can advocate.

You can get what you want.

You can tell these motherfuckers what you like and did they step up for they don't.

But what I think is also too, Like, I don't think you understand how many people are able to identify with your previous stories and how it empowers them to be able to hear somebody have a voice and talk about the things that they never felt like.

They would be able to open up about. Like that shit is major.

I mean I was corporate weasy night, both started corporate America. Listen, I was having a I was out partying all night, having to go to H and M to get a new outfit to go to work.

Like I wasn't going home. We was outside and I loved it.

But I love them that.

Yeah, Like you are the spirit animal to a lot of fun.

Backwoods backstage together.

The Libe Big Facts line continues, Big Bank DJ Spreen Baby Jane Welcome today NFL Legend part of the Pivod podcast, Ryan Clark, don't put up on us, Man, appreciate y'all good.

I'm gonna tell you what y'all really y'all really bought that action man because it's hot out here.

Yeah, shooting the show lights were we were just telling success comes with blood, sweat and tears.

We got the sweat today for show. Hell yeah, I think you know. Just the space though.

This is what it's about, able to be mobile, being different spots, talk to different groups of people.

So Man, salutes to y'all for doing the works. Same thing with us with the bigger So Vivid is dope. Thank you? What made you? What made you decide to?

Uh?

Well, y'all decided to start the Pivot podcast.

So Channing and Fred Well, I am athlete first, that kind of diss all. The producer that was with them had left and they were having a discussion about starting the podcast and they wanted to.

Get a third person. She recommended me.

Hopped on the pall for like an hour, so they came up with the idea, came up with the name and then it was just executed. You know, I go back and look at the first shows and I'm like, man, we were really trash, you know what I'm saying, Like those were not great shows.

But everything's progressing now.

We're just announcer deal with fanatics last week, Thank you man, appreciate it. Popped on with Tom Brady right after the roast, and so things have been going well. Now we're into doing or we're finishing up just mental health Awareness month because y'all know, man, in our communities, we can't afford depressions, right, Like, we don't grow up in the spot where black people really talk about that. So that's been big for our podcast this month.

So let me ask you a question.

With the dynamic on you Guys' show, how difficult is it to stand your ground about your personal opinions without being offensive to your class man?

Well, one, we're always together, right, So Like if I go, if I say something on the show, if it's not something we've already talked about, they know me well enough that they can kind of predict that's where I'm gonna be. And in most conversations too, like it ain't about them, right, right, like if I disagree with him, I'm not disagreeing with the human disagree with this, you know, and so we always try to be respectful about that.

And a lot of times too, like we're trying to push a.

Positive message, sure, right, and so like if we disagree with where if somebody is on something, we allow them to have that space. Like it ain't this ain't first tape, right, you know what I'm saying. So we ain't trying to prove nothing at the cost of the other person, right right, Okay.

What you think the key is if you're an athlete, football, basketball, whatever the case is, to maintaining your finances. We hear that story over and over again about people basically sucking their money up.

Well, one, in the case of me being married, get you a woman that knows how to say no for you, okay, right, Like I'm at you know what I'm saying.

So I met my wife when I was seventeen.

I met her in high school. We were best friends early through our college, and so she knows for me. I'm like, give give gil right, I feel like God blessed me to bless others. But also you can't give it to the point to where you don't have exactly. And so for us, it was about making sure we were smart with our money, that we were financially stable, and then understanding what money we had that we could be disposable with.

Right we want to go.

My kids are names Jayden, Jordan and Logan. We're not gonna take Jaden Jordan and Logan. Yeah, we're not gonna take food off of their play to do something frivolous or to have fun or whatever that was. But like like anything, man I had our teammates, She's like, hey, man, you can't die with it, which is true, but I

And so once we did that, once we.

Can set those things aside, you know, we were able to start doing some more things for ourselves, doing things for other people.

And the other thing is I never stopped working. Like I'm still working. I'm still trying to earn, I'm still trying to create. Yeah. Absolutely, nah.

So how do you deal with the people that you know, feel entitled to You know what I'm saying, because you know, we start doing so much before she was able to say no.

For you, how do you to deal with the people that fell in love with what you did?

For I had great people, and too for me, it came slowly, so I wasn't drafted right, so I was cut and so I did all these other things before I became a pro bowler, before we won Super Bowls, and so I had so many understanding people behind me. Parents were still married, man, still great people. Like when we got married in my second year, I wasn't on a team. They wanted like extra people to come to our wedding.

They paid for those people. They didn't expect for me to be able to have it all. For me to be able to have it all, I have to.

Do everything because they wanted a certain amount of people to come to the wedding. And so now as I continue to make money, as I continue to grow, my parents never asked me for something, but I was able to say, nah, Mom, sit down right, like you ain't got to work no more. I got you, pops, It's okay to retire, Like how are we gonna handle finances

You know how great it is to be able to tell.

Somebody my parents don't even ask for that, right, you know what I'm saying, Like what they gonna tell you? Somebody comes to you and they say they want something, and you're gonna be like, my parents wouldn't even ask me. If my parents haven't done that, my parents still work.

You're out of pocket, get out my face pretty much pretty.

Much like clearly you know you're dead ass wrong.

Yeah, you know what I mean?

Yeah, So, so, like I mean, I think it all goes together though.

Nah, so how how was it like the ship like the transition? How was the transition for you, like to get into broadcasting the But yeah.

So I interned at ESPN. When I was playing, I sat somebody mad at y'all too.

By the way, Yes you can't. How you do RC many pleasure Man get to beat you, bro? Yes you can't. Right after this?

Uh yeah, but like so I was.

Already planning for the transition. I majored in mass calm and I was willing to do the work.

So once you intern, I signed a contract while I was playing, and so the transition was easy for me. The harder transition was figuring out how to be authentically myself and still succeed in linear TV.

Yeah, yeah, you know what that was the hardest part.

Yeah, because that's a that's like a that's like a crazy space for a lot of people, because when you're in front of the public eye and in front of all of those people, it's kind of like it's a lot of people that don't understand maintaining your self, you

Yeah.

I think like the thing for me though, it's just like getting the opportunity to sit down with y'all.

This happened organically because.

Like I'm outside, like I'm in public, yes, yeah, I don't have security, right, So the thing for me, I'm here with my nineteen year old Yeah you wanted. The fun of the thing for me is to have the ogs come up to me and say, hey, man, you is in us well, exactly right for the people who I look up to, the people who I admire, or the people who I grew up in the hoods seeing right that remind me of my uncles.

Come up to me now, Man, I love everything that you're I'm.

From New Orleans.

What yeah, you know what I'm saying.

That's one of my favorite places in the world.

Man, it's a beautiful place.

But you know, when I go back there and they show me love, like, that's important to me. But it's also important to me that I show that people from where we are from people that come up like we come up, we can also navigate that world.

Right.

I can see in any business media, I can sit in front of anny camera and I can articulate or communicate in a way that's on the level with anybody that's going to any school, that's growing.

Up in any household, and I think that's important for them to see from up.

Right in fact, in fact, so side of media, like, what are the adventures are you considering exploring?

Well, so my daughter is in culinary school and so yeah and so so she's a baker. So I'm gonna invest in her business. Yeah, I want to start a bakery in the line of bakeries when she gets out. Real estate is obviously always something that I've been involved in, but with the interest rates, now that's something you got to be extremely smart about. But I've actually stated media and now I'm executive producing. I have my own production

Yeah, to tell their own stories, to be.

The narrator right, everything in their book. And so that's what I'm getting into more than anything. Out appreciate you, bro.

What's something you would say to our community and to the young people, like in some game or some gyms that you will give them.

Yeah, I think I think this is a gym. I'm sure they've already gotten.

Like you can't be afraid of work, like we all like I want, like truly, like I want to be able to rest. I want to be able to sit in my house, but I can't sit at my house to believe knowing that I left something undone right and the other piece of it is too Like give yourself grace.

And it's like, when we do that, there's so much pressure on us to succeed that you.

Could fold, like give yourself grace, man to know that, like you're not always going to make the right decision.

Everything is not gonna continue to flow to man talk very.

So like riding the bike. So we appreciate you. Pulliate y'all. We gotta get you.

Got to get a full interview out of you.

Really Okay, So Monday, Yeah, yeah, we gotta get one picture and then you know we need to sit out.

Yeah, we gotta tell me, don't.

Live from the Toge festival in Dallas, Texas. You know what it is, DJ screen, Big Bank baby Jay, we hear you know what I'm saying. Catching up with everybody from the festival, and it's only right, you know, what I'm saying, we choffled up with an atl You gotta get this, nigga.

His proper introduction to those that don't know exactly who Prince is to Atlanta, into the world, to the world start.

Okay, So.

Just for you guys, I don't know what camera men or whatever, but just like for you guys that don't know, this is Prince Williams. He's a really dear friend of mine. But outside of like the personal ship or whatever, Prince is responsible for basically painting the picture of the industry scene in Atlanta for like at least the last twenty to twenty five years.

Wait, maybe thirty, say about.

It's been longer than that, but twenty is official. Okay, I'm out there. I got seven when you realised seven o eight, Yeah, it was crazy. We gotta have you over here. They came up. We started getting money for is that you know?

But I mean I remember you back like right just gving room days, like when that ship was on Crescent back then, like when meat was out like type ship.

That was when I was exploring.

Yeah, but I mean you were still doing the damn good job outside if we won for you, A lot of this ship wouldn't have been documented.

Seriously, facts, real, nigga shit, Like, man, your ship.

It's hard because you know, I'm a grinder, you know what I mean.

So I get it.

I know the same ship.

But it's like, now we got to understand and like Black has taught me this, Like he has drilled that into me, like you have to like but he's he's instilled in me that, like you have to step into your shoes and you have to water your flowers. And by watering your flowers, I mean like people already know what you do. People understand like the gravity of who you are. But a lot of times we try to downplay ourselves because.

Yeah, seem over zealous. Yeah the work.

I'm from a different school though, I mean, like I'm old school photographer vibes where it's like, okay, you get in behind the camera, you're not really in front. So it's a new thing to really be. Everybody is a media now, everything is a meat exactly. Everyone has a station. And now that's the thing is a moment for that me and my growth is now you know, I was behind the camera, you know.

You know that's how I started to like, yeah, like it's just it's a new thing. But but you have to embrace it, and you have to understand the magnitude of the history that you've made.

Because I realized when I see things that I did, and it's like in the media like oh, Drake and Kendrick or whatever. But every time Prince William, I wake up and my email popped off, like Prince William prins.

Let's not, let's not, let's not forget about it.

I see that.

I'm like, yo, words, yeah, you think the most iconic picture, man, my my one of my most that I just told the gentleman that just asked me.

What my favorite was. It was the picture of future from birthday bash with that hat. Y'all know that hat.

Yeah, that's my photo. And that photo has went around the world. That has taken me around the world. Photo right there, like, that's what when I knew I was there, That photo jumped off and they was running it and people didn't know who took it. That's how I knew. I was like, oh, ship, like, yo, I did something. When I did that, you know, and then it went to the Drakes and the you know, because I had already been doing it. But like I said, once I

Drake yeah, sure, oh.

The other one from compound Kanye yes, Drake, yes, guess yes, future yes, shouty low.

Yes.

It was some more people there, but it was a two change.

Everybody was there that night, and you know, the media thing was slowly going up, and then Atlanta was you know what I mean, we on.

The maap now like because it was like before for I want to say, probably about ten years or so. The only other part doing it outside of you was maybe like sandral Road. But wasn't she getting most of her content.

Sandra yea from you more of a blogger?

Yeah, I was.

She was a blocker and she was a photographer for excuse me. But then she went into the blog space and was just there. You know, that's when the gossip and all that was popping. Then I started taking photos for her, you know, as a contributor. Next thing, you know, you know that she was in the behind, but it was Santa Rose.

It was Ben Rose.

That was it.

That's why I started. So how does it work.

Like when people use your pictures like saying it's a picture you took, but y'all ain't did no business on it.

People using to make money off of how that worked for you.

They on me, and I can you know, like I said, I can get back with him, but I have a plan to kind of worry about that at one and one one day.

Oh oh yeah, yeah, yeah I could. I could be I could be a ham on it right now and be like, yo, that's my there's a lot of money out there. That's a lot of money out there.

When it's time for that, that's when I'm gonna do that, you know, because right now I think I have maybe four million photos in syndication or you know, just four million, Like, that's a lot of photos. This is Mom, Pop Auntie. Everybody then took an atl P. Let's just keep it one thousands. We were one of the oldest and the coldest, you know. So it's like I don't mean yeah yeah, and it was up my space days. How dare you be in all these places at one time? Well, I mean,

People hit me?

Man?

Oh so you so because you might see y'all popping in fifteen minute. Here go here for thirty minute. Come back when this popping swing back.

Right, you know what I mean. And that's how it goes, cause you know, some spots down't go up till two am. Yeah, you know what I mean.

So, but then I might go hit this birthday party somebody might be having. You might be having a bigger shower for everybody coming through. I might hit you up first. Then I know, Okay, I got a concert at eight thirty, I'm gonne by the Fox, and then.

You know, keep it moving.

But I feel like it helped, it helped the media, and you know it circle it's coming back around full circle now, y'all. You know, I'm having moments now all the time, like like even this, this is a moment, y'all. Y'all recognized who was the first ones around that was doing this?

For sure? A lot of people do not, you know what I mean.

So it's like, okay, you know that's why I appreciate big facts, even me. I'm a listener.

Too, Like I love y'all show how you keep from getting like comfortable, like you know what I'm saying. You know how you know what you already did?

How you stay hongry? Like how hung are you because your head? Well, the thing is mistakes getting left.

You feel me looking at a blog and seeing ah, man, it was going down in New York, you know what I mean, Like at this event, and I could My schedule was clear, I could have went. I tell myself all the time, Brud, you gotta get up, you gotta show up. And then I watch a lot of podcasts too, and I listen to the.

People I'm educated from.

Y'all, you know, you got to show up to these things, jay Z or somebody just said it the other day, like you gotta show up. So that's what I constantly tell myself all the man, listen, you hit on something that was really close, because I do get comfortable, you know what I mean, because it's so much media now, it's so everybody is a media source.

So it's not like before ESP actually with camera phones and all that.

Listen, somebody got to fit the pictures, somebody got a video. And you know, before it was like, Okay, Prince is gonna cover you. But now you're moving on the quality. Like, now I'm moving on the quality, you know what I mean. I'm not showing up everywhere where I used to be. You might see me on old net.

God damn at the you.

Know, at the Mexican.

Yeah, it's going down on Sunday. But now it's like, okay, those calls. I have a team too, you know what I mean? Right, You know, I stay I've always stayed up on technology. That Initially that was my thing. It was people out here taking photos that had not taken it to a media level. They were just taking photos and then what happened And I'm looking at them and I'm like, bro, I can do much better.

I understand that it's a science tea.

Yeah, like it's it's technical. You know what I mean, Like the technology is moving rapidly. That's why we all are media because of technology.

These phones. Now it's easy.

Before you had a big ass camera, broadcast camera, you couldn't just bring this up and y'all do a show. But now guess what. Now y'all got all these light cameras and you could do a full right here. It's easy to move, you know. So technology is bringing it forward and you know, and enabling it.

Now we all media.

I think the dope thing, man, is that you still like you could just have other people to take the pictures like you. But I think I've never seen him without a camera in all these years. Never happened.

I don't, you know, y'all you know what the real ship is. I don't feel comfortable, you know.

What I mean, Like I do have I have a little anxiety there, Like it's like I'm not doing nothing if I'm going to a party.

If you ever see me at a party, I'm always looking like, man, I could have got that. Oh man, that's good. I'm always looking in the eyes of a looking through the camera. Yeah, like what you're doing on your birthday though, when you kick it, I know, camera no no, I don't, but I'm saying like that that'd be by.

I remember doing that during my birthday, like oh such and such little baby cane, like let me photo and then I have my team there they doing it.

I mean, nobody does it like you. I love my guys.

They didn't, no one. But you know, you always see things that you could have done, you know what I mean. So that's that's all, but long story show. Yeah, bro, my birthday, I'm always thinking that somebody get a photo yo, yo, get on your phone or something.

You know what I mean, this was Black went off. You had that suit at gold Room with the hat and you you know what I mean, Like, I remember you was in there pace with SA growing up. You're telling me like different moments and I could you know their bookmarks to me, that's what photos are.

Back and you're showing to grow from each artist, Like I remember, I even know to get this dude on my camera. I remember when I first they told me that night that that was him. The next night, look at him and look at him and look.

You know what I'm saying. I know you don't seen a lot.

Of peoples grow, all of them, bro, all everybody from Atlanta, Georgia pretty much.

Because I'm so cavalier when.

It comes to this a new artist, and everybody Jaya tell me, oh man, this this is my new artist, and anytime I see him, I'm gonna snap that photo.

They might not have no song on the radio, nothing, I'm always salute.

And then that's how I moved too black. Like you asked me, how do I know showing love to everybody? That's my job, just to show love, Like, hey, listen, you're on my camera.

I don't know about nobody else, but you're gonna be on ATL picures. It's gonna go up and you can tell people.

Hey, listen. I was recognized in that line because.

All the same people that are looking for the little baby pictures or the jaz pictures of the body little pictures, they're gonna see your picture and know that like you're up here, so you mean something and that means a lot of niggas real.

Yes, yes, I'm surprised by who looks at it. And a lot of the influences, the taste makers up high, they know to look there.

Okay, what was.

Going on in that?

Yeah, yeah, I saw scrib over here. I saw you know it is they kind of got them.

They kind of shipped to be like, bro, you you ain't even outside if you ain't on ATLP.

Yeah, right back in.

Those days, that was the thing, like if you wasn't on there, And that was that's why the pressure started building with me too, because it was like, okay, you gotta get on his camera.

You feel me like him right there? And then I be running y'all.

Know how I be running back and forth through the party in the event and then it be you know, people be pressing me.

Like yo, come on, dog, you ain't trying to show me love. You know everybody want that love?

Like so again, when I open my ship up and I see Jade constantly, and I see Black constantly, and I see y'all whole Big Factors, I'm like, bro, I'm seeing this.

Visit the new website today, Big factspad dot.

Com Backwards, backstage and Togetherland.

It's Big Facts Live, Big Baby, Baby j DJ, screen special guests, the Legendary, the Legendary, my brother DJ Michael. Yeah, Big Facts Live Suite at Togetherland, Backwoods backstage.

What's up? What's up? What's up? Man? I'm feeling great man.

You know, took a little hiatus from the music, man, but I'm back in action right now and I'm feeling.

Really good about it. And why was that? What was the hiatus?

You know what, man, I've been doing this stuff since I was fourteen years old, screen man, you know, and I never took a break from work. So right now, you know, I just took a break from work and just really started just focusing on my family and stuff like that, really just taking the chill. And I never had the experience of doing that, you know, because I got five kids, right, I have three adults, and I have two that I'm raising right now.

Right, So with my adults, I was.

So busy working in the music industry that I didn't really have a real chance to really raise them or either to be a part of the family. So right now I'm married now, and my kids i'm raising. Right now, I'm really being more up a father than really being there for them.

Yeah. Yeah, and I'm getting.

A part of my life that I missed because you know, I was just such a slave to the work in the industry, right that I didn't give them about myself or my family. So now I just took time to care more about myself or started working out, started taking care of myself, and started taking care.

Of my family. I saw you on the workout, So you do like what you do biking. I've been biking in I've been Jimmy. Yeah.

Okay, So so for the people out there that may not know or that may not understand the gravity of the personation war give them a little bit of background about who Michael Watts is and what Swish the House is.

Okay, how how it's important to the history of Houston.

Okay, I'm of course that you just history introduced me. I'm DJ Michael Watts. I'm the owner and creator of the Swish House movement. And for the people that aren't familiar with the Swish House movement, I created the careers for a legendary artists such as.

Paul Waller, Mike John There, Mike Jones.

And Paul Waller. You know, yeah, legendary mixtape series two. You know what I'm saying on the Kappa after the Kapper during the all.

That for a lot of people that's into the Chapter Screw movement, you know, Switsch House. Man, I'm really famous for making slowed down and mixes. So my mixes of house, Swish House remixes. You know, I did a lot of famous artists such as Little Wayne, Little John, David Banner, three six mops.

But what do you think Swiss House introduced to the rep game that you see people use today, Like, Okay, yeah, we started.

Man I'm gonna tell you something, man, I feel like a big reason why a lot of people are making slow down music round there, and because of Swisher House, because I know that, like when it came down to the Chapter school movement, right, I was the main person that introduced the Chapter school music to the mainstream, and I started remixing people's album mainstream albums.

Yeah, like whole project, Yeah, whole projects.

So when you started hearing that and you really started getting exposed to that stuff on the mainstream, I started noticing a lot of people started producing their music at the speed that we started slowing things down at it. Because if you look at the beginnings of hip hop in the in the nineties and stuff like that, everything was like to one hundred beets per minuted, you know. So as everything excelled from the twenty ten's on up, a lot of stuff started being produced at the trap speed.

How make you feel to see?

Like, obviously it started with DJ Screwing, then you took it to a certain level and other DJs but how it make you feel to see the world influenced by slow down music, the double cups and everything and all that.

It feels really good, man, to know that something that we was involved in is something that everybody else enjoy as well too.

You think we'll ever see like that big switch to House reunion bringing everybody back Mike, Paul Chamelion and like everybody a.

Tour show something like that.

Man, I'm playing in a real big show like that, now, you know. I want to bring back all the hard hitters. I did a Solve Switch House reunion, but I want to do one with all the hard hitters.

But this is the difference, though. I want them to perform the stuff that they did on the mixtapes.

Yeah, I don't think a lot of people did a reunion show where they did their underground stuff. A lot of people do reunions where they do their commercial stuff. No, I want you to be Yeah, I want you the rocky stuff that you listen to in your cards on the streets. On the end of that whatever you statement, I want you to remember where we began at.

What's some shit in the news is like kind of discouraged you be like, man, you know what I'm saying. You said what I said, What's some shit in this industry? They kind of discourage you as a producer, artist, entrepreneur. What's the shit that discourage you?

I mean, you know what, man?

For me being a music head, I just think that the potity of music that comes out right now is a little bit discouraging. And because nowadays it seemed like the music the record companies they are investing in what they feel like that they feel that of work. Now understand, as an investor, you want to receive her return on your investments.

But you know, my thing is this here. I love the.

Creativity, and the fans love the creativity, and I just think that a lot of record companies aren't stretching the boundary rees like we used to back in the day.

Facts and you know, and and it's.

Not like people have changed around there, like you know, people still want that new, that different, that out of the box round there. That's why you have people like Travis Scott's all blurishing to the level that they are because they're different. They're not doing what traditional now think that about what come from Houston? What traditional from Houston? He breaks all of those boundaries.

So you believe in pushing the next shit? Absolutely?

Yeah, absolutely, century and not following Yes, absolutely, man, That's what life is all about, man, setting trends, not following facts.

Even though this happened some time ago. I'm just curious to know your take on it, the Drake and Kendrick situation. How'd you feel about it just as a fan of hip hop? And how'd you feel about the outcome of their battles?

Man?

You know, it's so crazy, man, I wasn't expecting that outcome of that, you know what I mean, because when you know people that come against Drake, man, you know he'll he'll just throw He'll just laying him a blowing bam and knock him out right. But the way that Kendrick came back was just epic, you know what I mean. It's just like, man, it's like Kindrick came with a combo,

He did, you know what I mean? Yeah, yeah, you're right.

It was like literally watching Mike Tyson got get beat up by you know what I mean, by the dude.

You know what I'm saying.

Yeah, Yeah, you wasn't expected for him to get in that gut, you know what I mean like that, you know, but it was a lot of fun because we haven't had that much fun as fans in the hip hop in a long time.

Right.

It didn't turn violent, Yeah, it didn't turn violentce you know what I mean.

And I hope that it doesn't turn by you know, I hope it just stays where it is around there and let that be what it is around there and doesn't escalate, you know, yeah, because I remember when somebody could just take a lyrical ass whopping and that's what it is, yeah, or something they still want.

To do for your ship. So it's great they got his as well. Basic lyric wise, to me, I'm gonna give it that card.

Man.

I feel like Carer canded into him. You know he did. Yes, he did do that, you know what I mean? He did.

I ain't see that coming. He's just didn't you just post it is a Gemini thing, bro Like he's saying.

That, but it's not even it's not even about it's about that too. But another thing that people forget about Kendrick is also everybody was just like so amazed that he was able to come back so hard, so quickly. This nigga want to fully surprise for his songwriting capabilities.

Like he he's he's on another level when it comes.

To that kind of ship.

You know what, I honestly being that Kendrick was already prepared for what he already like he been, won't that? Yeah? I feel like, yeah, but.

If you if you listen to the ship though, he also incorporated some ship.

A lot of mad though already mad. No, he's matter.

I just say some new ship. I'm so mad about some other ship. I just say some new ship that's gonna fuck you up.

Yeah, you know, you know what, I wouldn't be surprised that Kendrick has like a drink punching bag in the gym, you.

Know what I mean.

And he probably been hitting that motherfucker every day that he works out and shitting round there.

You know what I'm saying.

And it's been prepared for this battle probably for years, you know what I mean. Shit, because when you hear the lyrics and wait, he came in the urocity ant there, you know what I mean.

You know he didn't wait for Drect to even come back. He just did a double plucking humph huh. You know what I mean. Yeah, and that's something new that I haven't seen in hip hop. And he's still loaded. He read it for us and low He's still loaded. Yeah, yeah, yeah, But it was a lot of fun.

Man.

What's something you want to do for your city?

Obviously culturally you've done a lot for your city through you know, arts and culture and hip hop, or what's something else you want to do for your city?

Man?

I want to do a Swish the House show, right, But what I'm gonna do in a Swish out show, I'm not gonna let everybody rap their songs regular speak right, I'm gonna remix everybody's song, and everybody's gonna perform their songs to the remix that I done to it.

That's something that nobody ever did, you know.

Yeah.

And also I want to bring back some of the legends when I went up there and I and I remixed their records.

Right.

I want to bring a show with the three six Mappies, with the David Banners, you know what I mean, fit Little Wayne that the remix that I did for that ship, you know what I mean. I want to to see that forformed live because no one has ever done that, right. And Also what I'm doing now, I'm pushing thettle culture forward, right instead of just living on that, you know, I'm

You know that, it has a totally different feel from it.

You know.

I've been doing slows down in chop music since screw is a lot right, right, And for all the people that's doing doing it now, I'm probably the only one that has relevancy that has been doing it since.

Screw was a lot you said, like they stood the test of time.

Yes, absolutely, you know because Swisher House was a birth why Screw was a lot?

You know what I mean?

Who the biggest artists you said you did? You did a slow down Joint fourth The biggest artist I did to slow down the biggest project ship Man, like I said, Little Wayne, Oh yeah, Wayne, want say that, Little Wayne?

And right now I just did a I did. I just did a Megan single b o A.

Oh okay, mega static. Yes, I just did Megan's b o A single. So that's out right now. Okay, But I have a single on my own that I have right now.

Called uh it up off Me. My artist that I'm pushing right now is Gorilla Bubb. So that's the that's the new single that I got out right now, and that's regular Spee. I actually haven't even did to switch out remix to it yet, you know, we haven't released it yet.

Yeah, but the song is b o A.

So this is something new that I'm bringing to the fourth Front right now. So this is the introduction of the new stuff that I'm doing for this region right now.

But at this time right now.

You know, everybody, everybody who's a filmmaker, nos like, once you get bit by that bug, yeah, it's not no not doing it, you know what I mean. So, you know, thanks to guys like uh Jaslayvis Coleman at pei Udo, you know, we was all inving to reach the town pockets and do our own things.

So that was good and you know, still the same old shit.

Man.

I'm so much booking movies in there.

What you do during that time to keep it pushing and then they had to strike and all this stuff too, Like what you do to keep it pushing through all that time?

She's started my own company. Okay, you know what I'm saying because I look at guys like like Tyler Perry.

You know what I'm saying, Like a lot of these guys that are just changing the game right now, because we gotta change with the times, you know.

So I've just been trying to give as many opportunities as possible.

Started a five and once he three called dreams Seek. I'm teaching people everything behind the scenes because they always give us this propaganda like being a star is the move, but the truth is, everybody ain't got it.

Everybody ain't gonna make it. Yeah, you know what I mean. But instead of teaching them how to be on the team, I'm teaching them how to get the team, you know what. So have been a move later.

And then one of my favorite roles from you. Obviously you got a lot of dope roles. Yeah, that easy e roll, man, How do you get prepared to play a role like that? And how long did it take to get prepared to play a role. I ain't gonna lie.

Being from New Orleans, like the accent was a big thing, you know what I mean, just learning how to talk properly and all of that. So I put weeks and weeks and weeks into that. But also I just went and at the family, you know what I mean. I

So you know, that's what I did. I dug in as much as I can find. You know, what's your favorite role you play?

It's like, as I man, if I got a favorite kid, man, I don't know, bro, And I'm not just saying this because I'm here, but it might be Superfly because it was the first time I played myself, I feel like, you know what I mean, Like it was like, do you whatever you want to do, just do it, and I'm like, all right, so yeah, but Superfly was.

Li Yeah, nah, they did. They definitely did that say your own word exactly, exactly exactly. Yeah, yeah, what's next for you? What you see next for you?

Well, I got a movie right now called Black Heat with nLite Chopper and Dream Dogs going to ab f F right now.

I don't watch my movies, I don't watch my material. If y'all like it, I love it.

But yeah, apparently I was just in a casket with a picture on top. It could have gave a nigga an episode or two to.

Get out of that.

It's all good. Yeah. So a lot of times you think.

When people be like dying in shows like Go Some Power and all these other shows, you think could be contract show.

Most of the time.

Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, people be having shit to do, you know what I mean, because once you get locked into a show, like they got a lot of say so on, you know, the projects that you get to do and the material you get to receive.

Man.

This is a backwoods backstage man.

So we got to speak about what do you think when you hear Backwoods what it means to hip hop culture?

Well, with me being a non smoker, I know what it means overall from a culture standpoint, And they've had their imprint in this culture period, not just on the South, but period all across the board. So you know a lot of my friends they smoke Backwoods. Yeah, so I know it's a great brand. Like I said, I'm a non smoke. I'll do a little dope beverage every now and then.

Jay, that's it. That's all I do.

You know it may be a good SI guard up Bank, I said, look Bank right now, he got him a backwood look.

He he represented am very well, very well.

You know, in a lot of studio sessions, et cetera, it can't get started to the backwoods. Come the backwoods, ain't there, can't get started.

Right about that?

Shout out the backwoods man, like I say, even though I'm a non smoker, I know it's I know what they mean.

Uh.

Just overall to the coaching.

You gotta stage today, right, I'm sorry, I said, you gotta stage today right here together Land.

Yeah, I'm on.

I'm on the podcast stage, which is big. This is our first since I relaunched the podcast. This is our first live show. So me and my brother new face. Yeah, that's very big. And then here yeah yeah, here together Land in Dallas, Texas. Then I get to run into my atl Then I'm live. I mean, it don't get no better, man, but this Texas heat disrespectful. Even through the heat, it's still a great thing.

Man.

So I got, I got, I got the d O C. Dallas's own you know, you know, so I'm in man, How long is say?

It? Like?

An hours? About an hour?

That's all I need you do a question to ask. Yeah, yeah, that's a long time, you know, as you know for being on the show. And if y'all ever watched story Time with legendary Jerry, I don't do that messy shit, bro, you know what I mean. But you know, I like to bring out the real history and the things that people don't really know about. It happened behind the scenes. You know, cats that like the og Clay's and the Shakir Stewards and and don't take days.

You know, folks.

It's folks like us that was behind the scenes that made shit happen. But we don't get Adjustice. But that was my whole reason I'm starting a podcast. You know, bare Low Courney seals like people like us that's been making shit happen.

We don't get.

We don't Jane, you know, it's been behind the scenes making shit happen. Because everybody know, if y'all don't know, Jade has been pushing buns into a for years.

Yet some cigarettes in the bathroom, my magic, Sydney.

I'm sure you did probably be a little bit else though I ain't gonna say that on camera. Though she probably did a little look at look at that bank represent Backwoods to the Fullers to the max, and you know what, you know, since this is the Backwoods stage, you know what I'm gonna do.

I might smoke me one to day.

Oh psych like like we're saying I might smoke me one because it's Backwoods.

Yeah yeah yeah, this Bashwood, you know, Big Facts is the perfect platform.

Would like to give flowers, but we also like for people to pop they shit, So for something, maybe the young ones out there, people who are not familiar with everything that you do and everything that you've done, give us a little rescume, a little LinkedIn real quick yere.

You know, screaming it's really you know, And I popped my ship and I talked to shit. Ah, y'all know that. But a lot of time it's really hard for me to talk about myself. But I'll just say this. I've been in the music ISSH for thirty years. Uh, starting off in Turning. I had actually two internships in turn for Relativity Ruthless. So I started off, you know, Relativity side, we had all the common beating nuts. Then on the

So that's how bad I wanted to be in this ship bank.

I in Turned for two labels, and then I just I got in trench If then from there, you know, just to answer your question, I just started working with some of the biggest artists in the game, not just from Atlanta, but just in the game period, from Bone Thugs to most Depth tal you know, to Cheesy to Tell, to Usher, Sierra, you name. I just had my hands on a lot of things over the year, kill a Mike out passed.

So do you think in Turn is like just putting your face on the scene.

Yes, It's different now though, because now these young motherfuckers they want to get paid for everything. Back when I came in, I just wanted to get some experience and I wanted to learn the game and get in so that way I could eventually get paid. And I did quickly. Yea like scream Jab in the first here, I started getting paid because I wanted it.

I was so hungry and I was grinding, you know.

So so that's how I came in the game, and I've transitioned into podcasting, consulting, artists console label.

So I'm it's good to still be relevant after thirty years. That's the queen, huh, I said, shout out to Civiy, that's the queen. Yeah.

So even though I'm only thirty five, j for me to be in his industry thirty years, don't say, they don't say nothing.

You were a great baby.

A great baby? Is that what I am? A great baby? That was all that I could get to come out. That's it, all right? Look that.

Day I take that.

Who you're like, if you if you can interview one person like who will talk? Interview like yo, what they call it wish interview on your wish list?

Who It's hard for me to narrve the one, but it's it's really three people that I really really really want to interview.

L A.

Reid is one, and y'all know without explaining, but he's so important to what why Atlanta is where it is as far as musically culturally. I want to interview stan A bird Man. That's that's another interview that I would I would love to have and I would like to have.

Believe that Russell Simmons a good one about but that was a pretty good one though, yeah.

But since my my show is putting the South giving them their flowers, Tony Draper is definitely one person.

Every single car at all those things was playing the chronic I'm gonna say it again. Every car was playing the Chronic. The first chronic out. I had never seen nothing like that. Yep, I love that, love that ninety three, ninety four, I think that was it was ninety because I remember being at Black Shoo. I think it was ninety four when that Chronic out but I got Damn. I had never seen nothing like that, I know until when Jez came in that street marketing campaign that they had.

Like what what?

Bmfg, that's the biggest moment until my biggest influence, Like a nigga. You see, every artist wanted to be that nigga. I don't see every the artists and the people didn't want to be Jesus.

Our caves. There was a lot.

Listen, I know what they get that because all the time because no, yeah yeah, bro, look that's like argue that all the time.

Hold on, that's like.

That nigga different bro, when it comes to the influence them nigga want to be that different. But you know who else up was too?

Not whose the nigga? Who else?

Low Key up?

Really not low Key had a huge influence buck. Oh, but they influenced by Pluto so they killed it. Well, Doug can tell you, like man, that nig.

That's why I said.

That's like comparing Jordan to Kobe to Lebron.

That's all I'm saying. It's all they always influenced by Doctor Jay and all them. Though.

Jordan, Yeah, yeah, you're right, But Obe, Kobe, Lebron, Lebron in real life ain't Jordan though?

I love them.

I love the music, and I love like Jagged Edge, and niggas is good. Niggas one twelve they solid. Of course, TLC and them, they really started setting the tone. But oh, I felt like R and B. I don't think Atlanta gets as much respected as it should everybody because the hip hop rap game and overshadowed it. But from an R and B standpoint, we were the majority of the.

R and B production came from producers that are born and raised in Atlanta.

Yeah, you look at TLC. Dungeon family, Dallas Sauce, A JD. Yes Man, Yeah, Monica, same thing is that, like Atlanta, we just the ship. We just been setting the toll man, yeah quarter for a quarter of a century, and we still ain't letting this ship loose.

Of course they won't playing

Was like, we're from Jersey and the nigga hate on love.

Who's been? Who's been running with this thing.

Us?

And it don't look like it's we were relinquishing this ship because with these jon cats and I see you get your hands with a lot of these young artis, it's like they coming right behind.

We ain't letting this ship go.

Scream. It's the Ape Man, and it's the South. The South between Memphis, New Orleans, here in Texas, Dallas, Houston, Miami.

Y'all?

Get that what I'm saying.

What I'm saying, I just don't know the nixt time, I over being dolls man, Wenna the so.

Come back this summer, Brother, they just start shutting down the strict clubs at two am. Now, Bro, this ship changed Dallas. Bro, It's changed Dallas. Like in what way Dallas culture is stripped?

Cup culture?

This Whet Break Records at this whe Crown in the street and R yeah, like you.

I had a bitch walk up to me and say, hey, say saying don't play with it, don't play with it, don't pay with it. This when the lower Brook Records, I didn't know about it, and I said, what is he talking about?

And no, that you're proposed to be a record break, you start firing me up.

So I'm like, I'm looking through the city. You know what I'm saying, this summer heat, bro. But that's the thing. This is to put you to beat all the time, and all the Dallas. You have an artist.

You have an artist here that will hire strippers, just that when they go to the DJ, hey play this song when I dance, Like that's also out here.

They do that in Atlanta.

To Atlanta, that's what I speaking like, speaking of stripplers or something I want to talk about.

Oh yeah, no, all right, check this out. It's still a pandemic.

Time.

Me and b King we go to Atlanta to thenk up with Screaming Lub. Were in the YO and we have a debate.

What's the debate?

Who got the better scriptleers? Is it Dallas, Houston or Level. We have the debate for about an hour.

Scream Sai, You're gonna bring that ship up.

But yeah, no, Like, because I've been to all the strip clubs and in that Houston and Atlanta, I think okay, And I'm I'm just gonna start off with saying I'm totally.

Not biased because I'm from Atlanta and.

That's where like I spend most of my time in most of the strip clubs, but I feel like me personally Atlanta, Atlanta has a lot more to offer, a more well rounded experience, and in terms of the girls, each city has something different to offer.

Like Atlanta, you're gonna get a.

More diverse experience because we got white bitch ladies, girls, we gots, we got Chinese people, we got we got Africans, we got Indians, we got all kind of stuff whatever, whatever. But it's like, you know, and I know they have different women all over the place, but as far as in Atlanta you're gonna get.

I feel like you're gonna get people.

From all over everywhere.

Houston also, you know what I'm saying, because it's a lot of people that fly to Houston because niggas in Houston got money. So of course you know what I'm saying, Nick Dallas, niggas get money too. It's just like, I don't think I don't think Atlanta. I don't think there's any comparison to Atlanta.

Just being real, like Indians and.

Yeah, like you you can walk in the.

Strip club and you can see any kind of nationality you want, and they bad and they know how to talk and they not like idiots, you know what I'm saying, Like it's a.

It's a well rounded experience there. We have idiots, we have some idiots.

Like our our girls are.

Top tier. Very just being honest, very very what's your things frame.

But loved to Houston, Dallas, Miami, Vague everywhere with strip gloves. There's nothing more legendary than Magic City. It's a magic city.

Ain't gonna like you city.

You got blue Flame, you got ONYX, just fucking quotes down and opened back up r.

P finallys That was one of the response every time I touched the recipes. Don't beat me and don't be with One of my first times in that level, man, we just had a ball and dollars, you know what I'm saying, and shouted struggles. So I had a time that spoke Yeah he's.

Bench of City. My first time in Manchie City. I made your fame my first time.

Yeah.

He had just recorded busting Drugs. He had on the flash ride and he wants to here wo saded like in the club. So after after DJ played, I went to him like hey man, he was like, yeah, you gave me the flasks it told me take that back to Delas with me man, so I got from city to sofa.

So yeah, I met a nigga.

I ain't stopped sucking over that Magic City since then. I remember coming out of Magic City like two thousand and nine out of a pause, right, and with the nigga Jamesey fake Yeah, he says, happened to be coming out of Magic City.

I met so many niggas. It's kind of coming out of Magic City though.

So I gotta agree with you on that.

It's been like like.

When you speak about Magic City, you can't really talk about Atlanta without talking about Magic City. Like it's been so many legendary people coming through there, in so many legendary moments that have taken place in there, until it's like it's almost ingrained. They're almost ingrained with each other. Atlanta in Magic City like real, just being real.

I was just walking in and then you look up and it's got like kind of like the yeah, and.

It was like.

Yeah, like Magic really has real acrobatic like sert this all l type shite.

I will say this in defensive Dallas respectfully. Yes, you know, I'm originally from Boston. When I came to Dallas, I went to the ship club called Acstasy. I ain't never gonna home after that. I've been there, I swear to God, I never I never went home after that.

I was like the wife and all the kids fuck her.

I tried to get her to come down and she didn't come down.

And not to answer your question, we are not together anymore, but.

City Boys up one.

But but for me, it was just kind of like seeing the experience of what Dallas was.

And from a radio aspect, I'm a radio nigga, I'm APD so like from a radio aspect, I came to Atlanta and I was like I could do something, But when I came to Dallas, it was like, hey.

Yo, yo, I could do some ship here yo. And we and we did. That's the same.

That's one of my sales bandage from the radio stations cause shout shout out.

To the Holy Car Building and we did and we did.

But for me, it was just like, man, like this Dallas shit is something else.

And one thing I noticed a lot of people from when they come from outside of Texas, it's always Houston, Houston, Houston.

So I'm gonna educate on a little big Houston.

Artists come to Dallas to get their record broke mostly because what we ranking now, we just graduated from number five to number four too, So then there's that, you know what I'm saying. So it's really not an artist that when you want to break into the top five markets, you gotta come through Dallas. Now, Atlanta has a melting pot of culture.

So because of that, y'all get kind of like bumped up the list a little bit. What like, we get this shit like all the time. Bro, I donna have had Cardi B money bag yo.

Shit like the way I put local artists the same chail for local artists, I dodn't had Cardi B sit on that fitch money bag yo, I didnet have, Sweetie, you could go confirm like you know what I'm saying.

So Dallas is something special.

Now, I would never disuspected Atlanta by trying to compare one.

To the other.

I feel like it's apples of orange, you know what I mean? Each and every one of them is special for they own special refs. But Dallas to me is most special. That's just my that's just my personal opinion.

And he's Dallas has been Dallas. What they say, the game's been good to me, double pency.

You know what I'm saying, Dallas been good. You know what I'm saying. So like, for me, I love it here, man, I love the people.

I love the culture.

I love what we represent, like just in general, you know.

What I'm saying.

And for us, that's what the Toxic Boys like.

We're trying to gravitate from a radio show into a podcast. Now you don't understand it because we don't want to have our name and shit, we want to have our name on ship.

You feel me?

So really we lean to people like y'all and well, y'all don't even know it.

Y'all are educating us and people like us.

You know what I'm saying when y'all stepped out and say, hey, we're gonna get it out the mud, we're gonna put one for the front of the other and make this ship shay the same way. When we do it, we have to understand we're inspiring people. Bro were changing people's lives by the words we say. So for us, like when we say as much as we joke, we high side. We scored on Diddy forty four times yesterday we did he did, But we also said and This is a very important part and Diddy, if you watch it, you

Right you know what I'm saying.

We all undid shit that we're not proud of everyone simple one of us sitting right here, right now and did shit that.

We went home and looked in the mirror and said, what the fuck was I thinking? Yo? I was tripping?

How I let them give me off of my ship like that? So we all been there, and I think it's so easy to judge and point the fingers.

And as hip hop, we not like take rock for example, they celebrate their legends, bigga, we.

Eat our legends.

So my thing is like, I just want to get to a space and hip hop broke, But we celebrate our legends.

Why don't do that?

We literally take these niggas out back and shoot the nigga dead and move on to the next one.

And for me, it's like we control that coaching. We can throw that narrative.

So what we do as a community, that's what makes the difference. And I ain't trying to get people on niggas.

That's just really what I believe.

You know what I'm saying like I'm a my nigga, I'm a I'm A two times feeling like I was telling you.

I got my record expunge. That's how I ended up working at the radio station.

If everybody knows, you don't work at a radio station with a criminal background.

That's not a thing.

I went and got my record expunge. I did everything that I had to do, a put one ft in front of the other. Again, I've been locked up. This nigga be in the prison before. Were not regular niggas. We the real deal, bro, And the last thing that we're gonna do is come here and bump fake niggas. You know what I'm saying, Come over here, Captain. We're gonna tell you what it is because that's what we hope everybody else do.

That's it.

That's that toxic boy energy. What man, can I tap in with y'all on that social media though? Uh, that's a collective its tons of boy radio toxic. The ks mine is I am d J Popper Rod and this is at hollywoods A C A wy. Hey, if you got a rack, it no matter. I don't. I don't give a ship.

You got that ship playing in the club, or it's the favorite shit you played in your bathroom last week.

If that shit slack, we're gonna run it back.

If you gout here in the street, we're gonna put it on repeat.

That's it, slip. Let's get toxic.
