You know what I'm saying.
It's fantastic.
But yo, okay, holy moly, you dropping a solo album?
Yes, sir, same difference April third.
So what made you want to drop a solo album?
I ain't gonna lie. Been wanted to drop it. It's just like the timing and everything, you know, everything was just happening. It's like we've been in the game like a decade now, but it's like I stayed in the studio. So it's like all these songs just pile up on my hard drive, you know what I'm saying. Even shrim Life one, it just kept us torn, Like we couldn't even stop torn from shrim Life one. But yeah, it's just like it's long overdue, but it's perfect time.
Because a lot of a lot of it makes me remin this off my own group, right, I'm a part of Component R Yeah.
The way too.
And that's but then I look at y'all and I'm.
Like, damn, y'all, doing y'are doing what what what?
What?
What we wanted to do right right and and let me let me, let me let me manifest that that's hard.
Thanks.
Yeah, y'all are doing solo acts and then y'all staying together.
That ship is it's like three of us that ship.
That ship is like.
And we talk about it. It's like it's like Jordan Jordan Brand say, well, Mike, yeah, listen, like Jordan Brands, like the Jordan tem and Jordan twelve. It's like different Jordans. You gotta you gotta keep dropping different ones. You know what I'm saying. They are great.
I didn't realize that you gotta drop the elevens.
You gotta drop the twelve. You gotta so.
All right, So let me ask because I'm again, I have more success as a solo artist than I did as a h what's such a call and group? Is that something you worried about? Because because like me, like like like listen, I just celebrated components fiftieth birthday.
I went to his party. Let's birthday, his party.
I went and I celebrated it and I was I was so happy.
But then again.
I had to also think, like you know, you know, you know I had more success as a solo artist. Is that something that you're worried about? Because me, I wasn't worried about it because my homie.
Actually had my back, Like he actually had my back.
Yeah, it's like, yeah, but you have the training wheels too because Poe got locked up when y'all released the first album, So you kind of felt like a solo artist in a sense.
I feel like you're enough.
So that's so.
Is that something you worried about?
Like with me, I wouldn't. I wouldn't say worried about it, but like it's really like I don't want to miss nothing. Like even when I was doing stuff with Ray Shimmer, like and we got diamond songs. Yeah, that's y'all group together, that's my brother. You know what I'm saying. Black Beatles
is diamond. It's crazy, got crazy success. But then it's like even the songs that I did put out because we was making so many songs, always to this day, just making so many songs, so we dropping so many songs, and it's like my features going up as these songs are going up with the group. You know what I'm saying, I'm pushing with the group. Me and Jimmy together every day, shit shouting, share hotel planes, I see him good morning, you know some good night. You know what I'm saying.
We all ways together. So it's like, are we doing that these other songs on the side, We're just working, you know, I'm steady working, Like I'm catching plays left and right, like Boom in the Studio, Boom, New York, Studio, La Australia, whatever. So the songs that we're doing other artists, I'm going up too. So it's like, damn, that's just something that the fans made, Like damn they fucking with
Sweatly Heavy too. And it's like so it's like damn, Like I don't worry about the success level because like we already had to say, like even Sunflower Unforgettable, it was like, that's solo success, you know, that's sway Lee. You know what I'm saying. It's just me, you know what I'm saying. But I look at it like we're far from finishing, like far from beginning, you know what I'm saying. Like it's crazy.
Okay. So we had French spontane on here.
Yeah, French said, look I'm looking at your homie, your homie, everybody.
A thousand stories. I don't know what you about to say. I said a thousand stories, you know what I'm saying. On Twitter's like French said he didn't make a dollar. See, I don't know nobody CPAs or nothing, but that's a billion stream song plus my bad it might even be too bid. I don't even know how the situation of the contract, you know what I'm saying. But I know I got my percentage on that. I wrote that. I
know I got my ship. I feel like everybody got their fair share of the song, you know what I'm saying. And that ship was that ship was going up while Black Beatles was going up, you know what I'm saying. So she was just going up. Like I got my fair shared. The business was done right. And I shot the French on that like he got his hands on the song. You know what I'm saying. He's a big part. It was like, I ain't got no bad blood on that song because but for the record, that's my pen.
You know what I'm saying. I don't even know why it's question that's my pin. You can listen to it and hear it's not good enough. You know it's me talking that. I'm talking at talk. You know what I'm saying. Like, I did that shit in my lip in my in my bedroom, at the bottom.
Of my bed.
I woke up that day. They black beatles. You know what I'm saying. That was the next song I made. You know what I'm saying. I brought it to Jimmy. Jimmy was focused on the album. I was like, jim get on this song because I felt strongly about that song. I'm like, this is one of the ones. So initially I told Jimmy, hey, bro do a verse on. This is one of the ones. He was locked in. He was knocking down verses for shrim one of the Shrims. Boom,
all right, boom. So my neighbor is Molly mal He live across the street from me, with my house is like literally twenty feet from his. So I always go to his studio too. I'm cooking songs. Boom that song I'm playing on that So that song I left over there basically on his heart drives the shit. So somehow somewhere I don't know if it was through Jeremiah or how it came about, but French heard it. You know what I'm saying. He recognized, He recognized what caliber song
it was. He like he wanted to put a verse on the boom. Long story story, he put a verse on the boom. I heard the song, I'm like, it's just fire like. It sounds hard, you know what I'm saying. And I fuck with French. I grew up listening to frend You know what I'm saying. Everybody walk a flogger duchi man. You know what I'm saying, a lot of the greats they graced me from Missippi. This is what I'm listening to. So I'm like, French, Montanna Swally is left field. I'm thinking, this is why why am I
drop my album album? Going Up a ship Boom. The key thing that made that song go up is two hundred and fifty thousand dollars video they finished shoot to this song while I'm going around the world. You know what I'm saying, I'm in Germany and ship manne can chat first? Yeah, that freezing a champ.
Your time I was doing, y'all.
We got to cut into that clip, yeah clip so boom.
The key component that really like made my brain click t one fifty dollars video in Africa with the kids. You know what I'm saying. I'm part Nigerian too, so I'm like, and I love making afro. That's my that's my natural rhythm. Afrobeas, Yeah, afro all that, like just anything with rhythm, Like I can do that in my sleep. Like, so boom that connected for me. I'm like, boom man, take it to the moon, you know I'm saying. But long story short, Yeah, I wrote that ship and it
was just a great collapse. You know what I'm saying. It wasn't It might not have been the fairest way that the song came about. It wasn't the textbook weight that it came about, you know what I'm saying. But you know what I'm saying. But one thing I should have did is changed the artwork. Though see I was moving so fast. If you look at the artwork, my face is on the artwork. So people think listeners, they're not like, oh, this is first they think they might
think he's singing that. That's singing that, you know what I'm saying. But that's one thing that's.
Kind of you know what I'm saying, Crazy ain't gonna lie to crazy. Story that record went that record, win, let's make that.
Record went do you do all right?
That?
Let's double diamond? All right?
So they grew up with that.
His his his was crazy, this is crazy. I had a record that was was in this to me and it was called Jaga Jaga Jaga, but it was originally called that Nigga Noori and oh, I grant it?
Do you given that? To Frinch? Like, keep it real, keep it real, I ain't gonna say may to start with, he wrote it. No, I think Jeremiah was gonna do a verse on it. Me and Jeremiah was working up. You didn't know what was gonna happen with the records, but I just did it. It was another one of my twenty three hundred songs. I'm just like, I love that record, you know right, And I was gonna come
back to him just sitting with it. Actually, I got Wizky and I sent it to wiz Kid first thing on Twitter, So I got the whiz Kid verse too, you know what I'm saying. So wiz Kid did a verse and then all that ship came about. So it was like and.
Frince heard that ship, he was like, he was, ga, what I'm saying that a smart move. You know what I'm saying, smart move, make some noise first of my Now I'm all person that's a group member. Mm hmmmm h you are venturing out to be a solo artist.
M hm, that's your ass. And man, this is my son. That's my son.
Okay, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah yeah.
He don't come out for no for nobody, he said, so yeah yeah yeah, yeah, you do music too. I think he wants to want I think he wants to and you know what, I'm gonna support him clean.
But you.
It's it's hard.
It's hard being it's hard being a part of a group and then being a solo artist. Like I know, I wont when me and mister no, I know, I know you, like all of these people here, probably won't know. But what made you want to do that? It made you?
It's just I think it's just it's stuff that's left unsaid, you know what I'm saying. The group we say certain certain stuff, we touched certain topics, and then my solo projects they touching certain topics. You know what I'm saying. It's like I'm just showing people versions of me they never seen before. You know what I'm saying, like I'm bringing them to my mind and shit, and it's like everything that we put out together is like it connected,
you know what I'm saying. People growing up with this music, like over a decade of music. Like if you ask like ten people like yo, what's what's you think about Swedey? What do you think about Ray Shimmer? What's your favorite song for now? Like at this point, like they might all say a different song, you know what I'm saying. So it's like they might say a solo sunflower, you know what I'm saying. They might say come get her. You know what I'm saying, Like who knows, Like but
I don't know. It's like I've done it before, you know what I'm saying too, Like I stepped out solo tours post my owns like and I love being in a group too, because like if I'm tired, I didn't did all my dances for stay, I'm tired as a motherfucker. Jim gonna come through the full energy, you know what I'm saying, Just do a front flip, turn the up. Well, I'm geting my little chill moments. It's like you always got somebody you can bounce back off of you know what I'm saying, But.
It's like ahead, good bye.
I love this.
I could identify with you so much, bro. Yeah yeah, no, no, no, identify with it because ef M probably knows this. Like the reason why I went solo was because my partner got locked up, right, But the reason why I see you.
Going, I get you saying, like people move at different paces. You know what I'm saying. That's that's definitely a thing, like people move at different paces, and my pace is just like Bugatti fast, you know what I'm saying. So even while Broad taking his moments do it that he got to do working on his projects, I can still be feed you know what I'm saying, still be connected with people. You know what I'm saying, giving them feast,
giving them thanksgivings, you know what I'm saying. And it's like it was a lot of moments when I should have had my project turned in. It's like and I switched gears and I focus on my group because that's that's my main focus. You know what I'm saying, Ray Shimmer, But of course you know what I'm saying, Like it's spilling over to this hey pop up Hey, you're like, you know, swim Jimmy, helofairs too. They pop up Slim Jimmy, like,
you know what I'm saying, but sweetly big too. Now we got the biggest song in the world, bigger than Michael Jackson's Sunflower. You know what I'm saying. That's like me just on a Wednesday, pulling up on post alone, just working, you know what I'm saying. So it's like, yeah, we're doing it all. You know what I'm saying. You know, I'm gonna spin back with the greatest his Ray, Shimmer Kids, Bob Rady, Shrimmer and you both deserve it.

Then he came home made a song. He's like, bro, it was one of the greatest. So it's one of the greatest songs I heard you making a long time, Like, wow, he's in a different space, like he worked on his project too, So it's really like.

Basically this album I'll be working on you can say, my whole career because some of the songs are like they go back like but you like handbreakers from exactly right, some of my early cook ups, and I sprinkled them in there along with some new ship and then some I mixed it all in there.
So why'd you think now was the right time to put out this project?
Now?
It's just the time that I was able to sit down and just give them just like swallly like personal just to me, because like we gave them all the Race Shimmer songs up till now, and it's just like I was just like, damn, my career is so unique, Like I don't think there's ever been an artist that like have billion stream songs, the biggest in the world, and no solo album, you know what I'm saying, right, Yeah, So my career right now, it's like it's crazy, I'm
just connecting the dots and now it's just like all the singles just grew with the people, and all the songs just grew with the people, and it's just like now I'm just really like showing what I really do, you know what I'm saying. So I sat down and you know what I'm saying. I mixed the songs, master them volume one. You know what I'm saying, Like it's just a whole new chapter. But it's like now I was just able to.
Let all the.
Songs just live with people, let them understand like somewhat what I do. And then like now it's just like I'm gonna show y'all, like what I really do.
You know what I'm saying, Like you produced on the record?
Like I did do some production on this on this new album yet No, not not everything, but maybe, like I say, like four songs I did personal production on, but I funck with like my circuit is like some of the greatest producers in the world.
Who are some of the like standout producers on here?
I didn't.
I didn't. I got Lennon on the track on some R and b ship, like I got London on the track, and that's my bro. We ain't going back and forth for a long time, like trying to get just the right song right. So we got down my album. So it's like I don't mean with bro, like years of my years, just like cooking up right. So we got the song me and London on track. Then we got like just all my little homies like I'll be cooking with ear drummers. Of course, of course the Metro helped me on the album.
Should I say, you got Diplo on here?
I do got dip?
What's that about?
Diplo? Me and him got one of the biggest songs in the world with Illi, Golden Yello and Dipload. He grew up in two below too, so we grew up in the same city.
Wow.
So he used to be playing basketball on the same on the north side, right, which is one of the roughest cities in Mississippi. So he in the hood. He hooping on his court in Mississippi, like white boy, like cool ass white boy, like he in the hood, like one of the only white boys on his court, like hooping and hooping without the niggas, Like bro, that Nigga's a legend like me and Dipplo. We got we got
two blow game. We call it too blow game. He's out of this world out here, so he from the same He grew up in the same city I grew up in.
That's nuts, and he came up out here too broward, I believe, or I wouldn't be surprised come up.
In the hood like everybody loved Diplo, like yeah after he did. But that's crazy, man, I wouldn't even be surprised, Like he's good in every hood like my features I got on the album I Got, I got nov Now went crazy on the album melody, fucking legend like that, Nigga, I love now, I got naw I got Jane Coup She actually she's on this album, this album crazy crack.

Can you like imagine that ship like she got the album do it like on some opera ship. She got the angelic voice, like she's an icon of me, Like Jane post alone. I got, Damn, I said, freshman son, who I'm missing? I missing? Oh yeah Friday, so boom, yeah, it's stacked up. It's stacked up.
Where do you think you think Mississippi or Atlanta gave you more of your style?
Just really life in general, because like me, like I lived a lot of places, Like I lived in Maryland, even Maryland like my mom was. My mom was in a military, was moving around. I had to make friends and move you know what I'm saying, that's the lifestyle. So Maryland, Texas. I lived in Texas. I lived in Mississippi, Mississippi like my main I lived there like a lot of my time, you know what I'm saying, like sixty years,
seven years. Ship. So that's why I really started understanding like the direction I need to start moving in, like damn, understanding life Like.
But at what age did you start thinking about music as like future she eleven for real? In Mississippi. I was in Texas actually Texas. You know what song was going crazy though, Like Slim Jimmy, he was already like poetic with the ship, so he was rapping and ship and then still tipping. Mike Mike Mike Jones Jones.
I said, Mike, Mike Jones, that one fucking still tipping, And it was like that ship was like Nigga. That ship like nigga. I was making beasts so like in texts like this nigga name King James. Yeah, I had I had Freey Loose too, nigga had the early Fredy Loose like two making beats. My beast was ass nigga, Like my beasts was trash, the most trash beat you
can imagine. Like that was for you, for you to write mom for me like I was learning the software, just like sitting down with computers, fat back ass computers. So yeah, and then I just started learning how to produce. And Jimmy was rapping. You know what I'm saying. And is it in Texas though, No Texas your army based ship ship shot slim Jimmy.
Oh, so you guys are never gonna separate as a group.
Hell no, we're doing like the Backstreet Boys. You're not the Backstreet Boys. Every two years they got to tour like in sync. Yeah, every tweet justin tim relate. Every couple of years they reunite.
Yeah, blood is different than that, because you guys.
That's what I'm saying, like this ship never ending, like right right right, We're gonna be like we're gonna be like Elton John, like you know, Elton John still performed like Nigga, Like I'm have great dress, Nigga still doing this ship.
Look, I'm still here and I got white as. You're good, you inspired now.
You're good.
I know I'm good.
You inspire me, you double you good, gray on me o God, So you guys passed all?
I mean, I don't want to pass this project because this project is obviously a big situation. The difference have you guys been already, Like do you have a trajectory like your solo?
His solo?
Yeah?
The group.
The way I see And I don't want to spoil shit. I don't like to spoil surprise. Like if I see the movie and I'm chilling with it somebody and they ain't seen the movie, I ain't gonna spoil the surprise. But definitely I'm gonna crank it up and Slim might come next, group might come next, like whatever it feels best type shit.
And one thing is your style right is to me is very unique you specifically I appreciate it. Was there anything any artist, anybody that you said that you took something from that that made you, because you know, everybody's inspired by something.
Nah, for real, Like I might have like subconsciously, like I used to ride the bus and listen to law Wayne. You know what I'm saying. That's why, Like it was a big topic the other day, like about Lou Wayne, Like man, I was like I was about to chime in, but I ain't really like I ain't really want to just be too loud. But I used to ride the bus and listen tol Wayne and shit like three pet
you know what I'm saying. But I don't know. I probably like picked up a lot of stuff subconsciously, like because my mom used to play like Hella's songs around the house and we ain't have Apple Music and shit, so it's like I don't even know how to get these songs, Like I don't know how she's playing these shit, you know what I'm saying, Like, but I'm taking them in. I'm listening like damn, you know what I'm saying. But shit, I don't really I think this shit is like it's
just some new shit. It's just some like whole other shit right, Like but it comes subconsciously from all that ship I just took in growing up, sitting in my fucking boxes, like watching BT like, you know what I'm saying, I don't really I don't know where this should come from, come from, come from God, ship, I'm saying, I don't know. We're gonna do it.
