Like was it like to feel like people really recognized all the hard work you guys have both put into the I mean they see, they know what it is. So it's just like I don't think they see it yet. They see it. They know what's going on. And people like to play like they don't know what's going on, but they see

it and they know how to see. They was from period in your when you said they see it. When they see what it's a hard worth of day. Yeah, that howard dedication, you know, just working, over time, pregnant, just doing I gotta do to keep the city girls a float, like we want to fall off. So I had to do what I hate to do. The JT. I heard you've been falling the City Girls two points. Oh, it's the it's the new version two point over version

of the city. Yeah, not need half way City Girls two point So some people who know you're free right now, but you still have Yeah, I'm still in concerted, Like if you look me up, I'm standing in jail basically like I'm stilling be Ope custody. I don't get out of be O Peae custody until March. Just at me and I heard you got you're checking those. It's kind of giving you time to work, right, because it's like

five m I associate sort of. No, yeah, that's the only place I already go unless I go to my social passes, which is like the movie's bowling like stuff like that. But other than that, it's nothing I can do but just work here, work quit right, But you guys been working man. You guys made the bad Boy three soundtrack. Yeah, that was That's what suck because I grew up listening to Bad Boys, I mean watching Bad Boys. Will spend about laws. It always been shot at Miami.

It's a dream come true. They played actual song in the movie, right, Yeah, Like was that song sound like when you finding the speech who go pay my rent? And you know the truth about the song of songs made like two years ago? Yeah yeah, it could have went on period, but you know, then goes to the song like that it kind of sound like a fight. It's until just like it's a basically a remake of fin Nite, but it's just you know, secrets that record you put out man, just the first day out? Yeah,

why was it important? At the toe with that? Oh my god, Jesus Christ. It was like I couldn't a call and say, hey, I'm breathing. You wrote that record? You did so it was a quality. Yeah. So it was just like over the phone, I was kept saying, okay, I want my beat to sound. I just I want to beat the sound I and what do I call here?

I got this perfect beat? You don't let me hear it's I hate to be The ending of it was like it's like, okay, so all right, this the one we're gonna go with this one because I actually did like the beat something I got out. I mean, I was like everything was moving fast me like I was having a panic and tet intygrad to take it the same set. But it was like Okay, I can't let the people down, like you know what I'm saying. So I gotta get in here and I got to do it,

and it was like a studio bus. So when I got in there, I had a weird on. No nothing, it's just like you get your wig now after you could put this this song like say a rap. So every day when I was saying prison, but like it's like a not a week to write it really like a day to write a book, to really say, Okay, this is what I want to say. You know what I'm saying. And then when I got in there and I wrapped it on the beat to this day, I

feel like I could master it better. But it was just I had to go with whatever beat that was said one of me, you know what I'm trying to say, like I had to. I didn't had that beat when I wrote it inside prison. It was just me like writing it and when I got in I had to make it. So are you writing in prison? Yeah? Okay. I used to write some time, not all the time, like I used to write when everybody go to sleep, like if when everybody go to sleep, I used to write.

I used to then we want people to see because I don't know. I want people like let me hear it, let me hear it. So I was really probably I'm more like nanty knock to les, just like sit on the league like the other day. That's all that Jare wrote to us last night. When I heard it, we I started writing to show you saying something Imna sitting on the dicker. So I'm like, I've always gotta be like that. I love your lyrics. I love both of you guys lyrics. It's just so right, Like when did

you guys feel so comfortable? Or makes you guys so comfortable talking like that because we have the conversations like that. That's how we talk. Talk like she would be ready to say something nasty hour, I'm more like puss a home like like like a period like every time we talk. People like that's the song right here, see what you just said, that's a time and I'm like the hold is fun think he is, like, I don't want to

play with me like that. However, they cos one you've been teasing man nasty but classy thousand need that because it's right smash Yeah, we got a couple of them. I ain't gonna lie like we have a couple of more who just we have a couple of them, we go to take this ship is gonna get crazy. Like I'm telling you, sound is a little different and a lot of people trying to get it. Yeah, I heard people joining your movement like bea. I joined the first time,

I joined the second time. I feel like you see the growth, like people are starting to really connect to you guys, because I make to us. I honestly feel like, you know, when the City Girls came out, it was two of us and we was just having fun, were just making these sons that ain't it serious? It was fun. But it's like now everybody's sounds like like the super Girls, So it's hard to separate us. Like yeah, because when I when we first came out, to me, everybody's the

bashist but sound at least not real wrap. This is this is trash, this is not this is like, this is not hip hop? Who was these girls like they said what like you know what I'm saying, And now I get on Instagram it's oh that my note, my my feet the same ship even down to the period, and I'm like, wait, like it's weird because it was just like when we did it and we came out with it so blatant, we got dragged for you understand what I'm saying, because they didn't hear it for years

when and look him and trying was doing it. They didn't hear that for so long. So when we came out, it was a drought on it. Everybody was trying to be real hip hop. Andy was wrapping like I got pars, this is it up. So we came out just on our fool and ship, our pussy popper ship. We was called who do what is that? That's not real? Wrap? But now because it won't be long, don't want nothing. So when they sent and work for us like us just being ourself and that's just this is what I

day to day. This is what we grew up around. Because people start trying to take it, you know what I'm saying, That's how I feel. And I'd be like, hey, y'all know, y'all don't even grow up like that. Y'all don't even like that for real? You know what I'm saying. It's like, ya don't even like that. Y'all just hear it, and y'all want to see if it worked for y'all tool and it's just flooding the market. To me now, like it's just starting to get too much of it,

like it ain't you can't separate people no more. You gotta get making there and like this I sound like this is stuff right here. And we were treating like a little twist on it though it's still a city girls, but we're just trying to like turn up a little notch because it's just like everybody sound like und sound like us, and we didn't compared to everybody. It's like,

y'all sound like this is y'all sound like that. When we came out, they were saying, Oh, it's we're people that really how to wrap it, y'all, so playa now. It's not we just getting compared to people when they started. Ain't even paying touch you to the rious somewhere because at first it was like, oh, y'a don't even got real problem. The problem started an act up. Everybody we say could have an act up record? Yeah, how would act it was back and the time he was really

pushing the chork record this. You know what's crazy, because okay, what's crazy was when j went to jail. Album dropped so it's like basically we really didn't have them. That was so old tool we put. Yeah, it was supposed to go on period, but I hate it really supposed. I was like, heck up, it's the song, the song and Christian I don't like that song. I don't like that song. You know, like at the end of the day, I'm gonna go whatever, whatever your group to go. Whatever

I say. At the end of the day, I'll be like, Okay, I'm gonna fight for but if it an't go then and that's just what it is. Just like I don't like that song, Like it's so so I was like, okay, but was tim was good. We had a head like in My Feelings come out and the people were staying us aitution and up with a good record and we got like some mus to this day. I'll take your man to still get that. Yes that's not hit now, but it came out too early. I'm a I'm a

period guy like girl co. Yeah, get hip to period because that's why you start the record on. But there's so many good records on period, like a movie and like you know rap sh I do, like that one slept on City Nigger that's commandments for the The thing was for girl Cole. It was an album that we just trying to put together because we didn't hand the music when she went to Cheil, so we put together album.

It was like really scraped. We were checking verses from the put on the Beach, chopping up son just to make an album, just to have some music music out, And it was like we should have just waited because the album we could have put together a way better project than that. But it did end up coming from me and it was she. But you realized that by the time you signed your deal, you knew you had to turn yourself in. Like I knew that I was

going to prison, like before I sat my deal. Yeah, because when we had to meet and what coach that we told him? No, he told me because I wasn't telling him nothing. Were you scared to tell him about I was trying to say, get my money, Like, we're not gonna tell this man. We gotta tell this man to be honest about this situation. Told me he was like, which money? I going to jail? But we were gonna tell him because we had to let them know. We

had to have a plan. And I was like, you can't take these man money without no. I wasn't never saying that because we had a conversation, right, I was practiced to you when we get in there, I don't say nothing. You just gonna him. Don't understand that. And I knew that I could wrap, but I didn't know that, Like, I don't know if I could keep this going as a career, you know what I'm saying, Like, I know that I can songs, A couple of songs. I could write this ship down with my ask Cloch, Yeah, but

I don't know if I'm on the level it. At the time, it was like album make albums, Like I don't want to pay for these people money. In the They'd be like, make an album when we make an album because I ain't on that. That's what happened. When we first signed. We was like we hadn't got our money them a little chains and now he was in the studio. He called like, okay, y'all think like what y'all got no song? And like that We was like we get y'all. It was like I got three songs

extra it was what was the other song? The first TA had a song called Whisper. Yeah, we had a couple of songs. So we was like, don't hear I take a man of people don't know that was a salt and pepper yeah song, And I think, Mimi, you say j T. You actually do about the song? You know about the original? Yeah? Yeah, I don't know about I just I love the old school class speak us. Let me tell y'all something. My daddy had a record label, like we had a studio in my house. I did not.

I never wanted to be a rapper for real, because when I was younger, he had my daddy got sixteen kids. He had, Yeah, he had a group. It was like probably six of us made the cut for the group, but they did not know how to write. So he used to be in a right day birth right they right? They? No, I don't want to do that, like and if I don't do what, I'm get in trouble. So after I got away from my day, I never was thinking like that.

No more, like I don't want to do music. It was too much in my face, Like I hear him in the Nicks room making beats or it just was aggravating, Like what was it like you just even now like me, you're still in a halfway out, like you said, well, how are you processing like touching down and like coming home to all the success you want me to be honest, like, I don't see it. I don't feel it yet, you

know what I'm saying. I really have not been yet to be somewhere Like if I do go somewhere, somebody and noticed me, like one night, I want to mainly being some kids with You're screaming for like thirty minutes and I'm like it's like a thing with like bowling and like it's like laser tag and all of that stuff. So when I'm I'm walking around like so I was like, huh, what's going on? Looking at me like you're done res and I'm like, okay, yeah, we're gonna take these pictures

and let me go play late that. But I'll just be still regularly. I don't think that I ever really turned into a monster or think that I'm a celebody like that probably adjusted to Miami being famous now. I know. I love it for the most part, but like it's like when I'm out with my son and I'm like with my family, No, mo, I hate it because people don't get it, like you're running from me. With my kids, and it's like I gotta keep my eye on them

and still trying to make you feel comfortable. It's just a lot on me. So it's like, you know, when I go to the mather sometimes I just don't like winning with my kids. Like come on with my son and I take him to like a theme part or like to the para. Soon everybody coming to ask me, can I take pictures with you? It's taking away time for my son because it's like if I keep stopping for every person, I'm never gonna keep you know, what I'm trying to do with him. So it's just like

it's cooling on. But it's just certain times for it, I feel like timing place and I'm sure wound even more with you know. Yeah, I mean I like it. You know. I always wanted to be favorite. Sorry, I said. When I'm by myself, I know how to disguss myself like real good. Like I just put on my big old and nobody knowing. I was like, oh my god, they're don't know what's us now. Think yourself is just I'm gonna tell you. I ain't telling y'all because it's

fun to a certainly sting you know, like be listening. Ever, you gotta watch what you say. You can't really beat yourself. You're trying to be yourself and get dragged, you know what it's like people want to I was just joking. I before I was like famous. I used to love still love Twitter, so I like the joke. I'm real for you night. I got a personality. So when I tried to, like one day I tweeted, I was like, don't bear me and say, Queen, I'm a game. I'm a game. I don't want to be a funny. But

I was really joking it. But at the end of the day, these niggas love their gaming, but like they loy you to that game, but like that's who they llay you to, so bestid I was like, you for the treatment. I can treat your game because y'all want to be around him all day. Y'all want to be up under them, Queen at home, y'all in the club. The game ye ain't even starting, queen like so I was just really being funny, you know, like just choking and playing, and they took it a whole other way.

Like I'm like, calm down, It's just it's just normal. It's just everything's missinterpreting. Yeah, like just like we go live, we go live something six months when it come up with just be so bad. It's just like we can't have fun, we can't go down, we can't do nothing. You can't you gotta be like you just gotta watch what you say. And it's like watching. For example, I'm on I'm leaning down. She can't see. I can't see. I have to be and she was like, I'm like,

it's trying to read the comments. I'm leaning down. I get up. I don't even think I ever made that noise. I think they edited in there. Next thing, you know, I'm they say, I'm gonna you lab sniffet hog. I'm like, what this's going to? I don't even like down, like you make this up like and im and I'm not used to it. Yeah, I was gone with no phone for a long time, so now I know I don't

even play with live like that no more because of that. Like, yeah, it's just it's a free interview because bestially you get on there, you're talking these people chopping it up, they making their own headlines to it, and it don't and it's not even true. It's not even going on and the same thing happened the first time. I'm gonna laugh. It's like I'm joking, I'm playing, but I don't understand

you're not even gravitating to who you are yet. And you know, I'm knowing that when you hanging it up, they is about to make it something else because they record, they stream going. But I'm thinking, I'm still the same person who I was and I lived, you know what I'm saying, Like, yeah, I didn't know so there first, I'm like, what the wrong with people? When y'all making it more than what it is? And I'm cleaning but with more exposure and you know, you guys give profile,

it's increasing. Do you think about the pressures that come with being who you guys are, because, like you said, Sol and Pepper, like you guys like the first prominent duo sis them that's over thirty years and female rap groups. Do you think about that pressure, like that responsibility or that weight. I be thinking of other ways, you know, like I'm gonna hustle in the back of my man,

so I don't only think around. I always be like me and we always had these talks like and that's what I love about us, Like we don't wake up every day thinking wrat wrat wrat wrat rot. We'd be like, we won't this, we won't dad. We want to be bigger than life. We want to be known for so many more things being music, right, because nowadays everybody is waking up and you can turn it to a wrapper. It's easy, but to really be an impact is hard. And that's what I think that we need to be. Pressure.

That's a stated right, what did you make up? You know, you go down and then Miami holds it down like a lot of people. Remind me you said, you know, probably didn't know you was gonna be able to carry the group in the brand so strongly, Like what was that experience like for you? It was hard at first, you know, because people were so used to seeing both of us, and then when it was both of us, they ustid. I was going, oh j T better rapple. You just stay in the third you know, it's just

like they fleipped. And then I was like I was telling people. I was like, man, I don't know because they bashed me so bad in the comments, so I don't know how they go react just me. And I was like, so nervous, but it it was like once I went on tour Baby. That's like when I did, Like when she went in, it was like tour Baby coming up and I saw the reaction, it was like pre j t. I was like, you know, I made the frej t me and it was like really fucking with me. So it made me feel bad. It made

me feel like, you know, how could do this? Like it ain't what I thought because it's not what you think of your comments, Like we so cage. The whole world is not just we were so occasially and what we see on Instagram versus real life, real life, like it's a big fan base and don't even have be on Instagram like that, you know. So it was just more of like d I was so nervous. I was like, you know, they'd be put like kind of real rapper. It's gonna be hard for me. But then when when

I did it, it was just so much love. You know, it's a lot of people that love you versus the people that hate you. So when I got there and I saw I could doude, I was like, you know, I ain't gonna stop. Oh I'm not gonna let nobody send me, I can't do it right. There's also rumors that city girls might be over because you got pregnant and then she was away. You know, that's what people are to do, you know, they gotta they gotta hang on you for something they got the end of the day,

I don't get what's the big deal. We all our women, we produced, we made babies. We what what does that mean to be over? That's what you are supposed to do and the woman Yeah, and that's not my own child. So it's like, you know, I was being being a mom, being doing it. So what's from you having a new baby getting back to what I was being doing? You know, it's not like telling what's my first child? And it's

just over for me. You just I had to take a break and outside of rap, I want a family, Like I don't want to be lonely with money, because some people be lonely with money, Like I want to experience my money with my kids, Like that's what I want.

But you shared it with the world, like I remember you had did the phone call call p that was the real thing when you had first and formed And because I was being pregnant, like I knew, like I knew when it happened like it when it was just crazy, I was just like I think and it was like I was. I was like pargny, and I never said nothing because I knew it was gonna be what it

was like. Once I put out there like the bad Land was good, everybody was like, congrats crazy you know, you know, like now it's time to show that women can be pravy to still do this and that. But at the time I just didn't won't like from Petom saying what we gotta share everything down and you can't do this and you can't do that because you're pregny, because I know half I would have been said it. It would have been started cutting our shows and all that.

I thought. I stopped doing shows when I was like six and a half months, and you knew maybe the second or third month. I knew when I was like six weeks. Wow, how did your south Side meet? I met him at a circle. Hou was like when we used to he always screen get beat. I said what we be said, got he said he gonna sit on Like that's when he was in our first when we

first came, when we first came out. Let me tell yall something, and we used to try to use everybody for everything studio time, because it was just like girl said that you couldn't be in my face and you excuse you got studio like you got this, you got that. And then and then I thought, well it was one Google boys who had figured us out. Now we get a feature, we get a feature. The whole time time we used to we had to cut them off, like

I ain't getting no feature. He just here to use the studio this like we got here to do nothing else. You here to make this song. And once we don't making this on me out. But it was just a circle house had two sides. It was like the pay house and it was a small house. We used to always be at a small house. And one day he walked in the session. It was like, what's up, I'm sound saying. It was like because we know who he was at the time, and then we caught online, Hey

I'm gonna go over there get us. I was like, you know, you know, I know every listen, I know everything. I'm like, yes, you him on the beginning of the songs, right on the beginning to this song, and you go and get trying to make it give us when they sound like this, like we used to go over there. Ain't talking about she never with me. So I go over there just trying to look cute, you know, because he used to pull up with his liff for all. He used to always tell his deeper cars. I was like, damn,

How does it feel? Ha this album? Sure the doors open that you can work with all the superstars, right, anybody? Okay, we'll tell y'all. One night we came, we was here and oh yeah, metro woman came like, I want you girls gonna do you want us to get on this beat for they song? A girl ahead? Don't you guys

Why do you think that you have to break that door

down to be the modern day? Like sopping, like there's no groups? Like I know you said, you guys are influencing that now, But why do you think that you see a lot of females trying to go a solo path, Like why do you think that they don't pair up in form a group. I don't know why didn't think of it before, But I think it's always good to me with your friends. It get you think it's fun together, yeah, because it's like it's fun when we fight because we

she really don't care. And I here and I just be like, hey, today is the David says. She's like okay, so, and I was all cuerious. That's like you know some sometimes I'd be so passionate about something and she would be like I would like, Crecia, guess what a person said such. She was like, oh, but let me tell you that. I was like, that's why I'll never called her with nobody on the phone. No, none of that. I don't know. I don't know what she's gonna say.

So we'll just be like net me. But what did you make up? How core held it down while you was away? Yeah, she ex seated my expectations and like I used to be so excited like all the time because the she said, I used to be hating on me so bad. So I'm like, you gotta get you know, like he's gotta be busy, you gotta do that, and she was doing so it was just like yeah, so like the PC Social Awards, he came on, so we had one award, so crea I was always complained Corel

every day. I used to begin into it because because you know, I ain't a whole like I like to choose who I want around me, Like I don't let people just come in and you could just sit with me because that's what you want to do. Like no, like that. So they used to get jealous a man because I had to sell people. I'll be be around everything. So they's like that she ain't go's not really famous or they they just got that one song and the

guess how they was. But every time you turn on the radio, are you here with with a bad game? All years? I take your men? Are you here with? In my feelings? So we had the social wars we want so crecious, like tell y'all, y'all, oh my god, I she did that the next day. Listen. I used to be living for those prison wars, like I used to be never to go out, go in the yard and be like, bitch, what's up y'all? That's what we

was saying like that. But you mentioned like in my feelings because on the first day'all you said you was in your bunk, really in your feelings? Yeah, I was so sad like my first six months, like my first six months of prison, I was so sad, like I would not really go outside. I was not really the rag. Like I choosed to just go to my because it's mandatory to work in a bed. So I used to go to work, go right backy, going right, go right

back in. And I really supposed to took this drug program, but being that I had a short amount of time and that I really wasn't on drugs. They don't just accept people in the program. I can really have to be like and so I didn't get the time clap. I realized I had to stay. And then I had this lawyer. He was just lying on you, like you know, you know, so he had him thinking that I was getting out of six months. But I kept on saying to who was managing us? I kept on saying, he's

lying because I had to be in my research. But nobody didn't want to believe me. So I had to put that out there, like I was gett out of six months, but I knew that that was not the truth. So they didn't know either. Like the man said that, so demand ain't gonna take our money in, but he did. So my first six months went by, I was really depressed, really depressed, and then like Christmas time came. I think that was probably like the last time, like I was

really like crying all of that stuff. Like Christmas, I cried so bad and like I had I think Karasia first feature head came out. I think it was with tween my estabage, and I was so hurt, like I ain't gonnae I was hurt, like I was like, oh my God, she did a song when I'm so then I didn't get it at first, you know what I'm saying, Like I didn't get it. I was upset, like I was like, what the funk? So, and I'm like, damn,

I'm not getting out. This is my six months and I gotta do six months and I had to do eight more because I did fifteen months at told I'm like, yeah, well it's open for me now, Like that's what was my mentality. So, um jam ram came. I started getting to prison. I started doing my hair, doing my makeup, going outside, putt on my shining grade because I had everything, because I had it so much money. You know, you understand,

like I could get whatever. So I was just in a dressed up cute but you're in prison with the number one record, Like how does that make you feel? Act? I was not on a computer. Um, but people this home. I knew he was popping at first. People said hey, hey, hey, hate them. Same people used to turn around and come to me and saying, could you sign us for my daughter? You got some pictures, You got some pictures, you got

some pictures. Them same people they used to take me through hell, used to come up to me and put their prize to side and say, could you sidence for my daughter? Could you science for my son? And these people and I was in federal prison. I wasn't in state prison. I wasn't in county jail. These people was from all over the world. So I got from New York,

I got people from California different. I'm like, hold on because when I went in, it was just basically Florida Atlanta like it was growing, but it was in in different markets like that. So when I've seen all these people from new towns like Jamaica, Jamaican immigrants, people who was immigrating there coming to me, Oh, I love my my slum, my daughter, my cousin, my sister, they love

your music. They actually is you went up with j C. You end up with j T. Like everybody who started coming to prison, they are coming to look for me, Like that's how I was. They like, they're coming like you JC. My daughter told me to look at you. My cousin told me to look for you. And I'm like, yeah,

like you know it's me. But I was always humble, so nobody didn't understand, like when she really is a celebrity, why she act like that, Like why she don't act like she is celebrity, Like because like this me this for him, But what's your experience like having in my feelings going number one from the outside, What was the

experience like for you? It was it was a fun experience, Like you know, Dreke had brought me y'all on his tour in New Orleans and when he did it, it was just like, damn, you know there's a city girls this us and it's just like it was fun when it was just me, but I knew it would have been a better feeling if it was spoken. What did you realize that? Like act up? And then his work was like becoming like she said, these national hit these markets,

like these big records like that. I knew when everybody was started coming to reach it because nobody like world started coming and I'm like, I hate that I have people coming creach it. It's like I like a person. She had know when the song came back. When Drake start to song and it's like she's like, why are you coming? Girl? He could call yeah, I don't know what he called you. It is to be over, he said, now because you about your city girls like you guys

have wrapped and he took certain parts. Yeah. Yeah, I think after Netflix, Yah, the big the big takeaway after Netflix network. I think it was the bmays when Jennifer Lopez, Yeah, she played in my feelings any with the What's Your Network? I was so happy. I was like, yeah, he was just it was just it was just it was good. And I started seeing her changing, her dreary start changing when she was sitting the pictures in Yeah, train start changing.

That's going on. The motherfucker's changing. When I was like, she got that like that, and then where the APPA started being like I started getting lawyer cause I started tad to deals for me there too, and I made her my power. I'm like she could just go and be like, oh yeah I just got this day, this

day money, my counselors. There's like this little girl to have money like that time you used to be thinking, like because they have to listen to my cause if I'm on the phone with my attorney, like she's handling about your relationship because like on period of title track, you have this record when you said like you keep right ay close because he's as the whole switch up,

Like what's it about? This friendship that you guys have, that's just like it's like, this is my sister, you know what I'm saying, Like I feel like this is my sister. I need to protect her, like I need to protect whatever she got going on. And I don't really feel like that about many people not understand this is a business. You gotta understand, like this is a business. So speaking, we have to quc behind you, like Coach KNP, like why why do you feel even now looking at it,

that that was the right place for you guys? And how is that relationship changed with the two CEOs now way more? It's still good, Like it's still the same. It's still you can call and talk about whatever. However, Like you know, it's just like watching raising your child, like or raising your your kids when you see them at a certain stage and you see them transform, so sometimes you aren't agreeing with what they're seeing or agreeing with what they think. That's that's just what it is.

And it's just like, okay, these with them mean, this is them now they're getting bigger, they're getting more aware, they're getting more more mature, and they know what they want to do. When we first met them, they wasn't artists. They didn't know nothing. So it's just like when you're doing to put on her first pair of heells and you feel like she's not gonna how to walk in the hills. But we're like, we know what we want

to do. We know that this is the song that we want, this is the decision that we want to make, and it's still height No, I know what's right, and we know we know what's right. So it's just it's the same. It's the same way. It's a family at

the end of the day. And you know, it's like at the time, wasn't you know it was that it was coming to us, But only QC makes sense because they roster, you know, like they had that little baby, they had a Yalldi, they had the meg and they said it was getting me chaining the lawyer and it was just yeah, and it was I was like, okay,

it only it only made sense, you know. It was like a lot of people in Miami felt like, you know, we should have stayed in Miami and did but it was just like you see many sense you know, they had the roster, everybody on their team and still to now, I'm doing good so it was just like, yeah, now people gonna QC. Like the support system for you, Miami was there when you had to hold so much down yourself. If you feel like that support system was there, Yeah,

it always been there. They always been supportive, like everybody like the baby Yadi everybody, even people in Miami. Even though we stunds to Quec, they was still happy for us. They still was come to our shows. Like if we're doing show Miami, it's gonna be crazy. You know. It's like people have their opinions, but at the end of day, they want to see home team win first. Bitch over, lock it with a couple of ends for real life for it it's not you know, it's not let men

artists come out of Miami likes like Miami. You know, it's not the place for music. It's not really nothing's going on down there. It's just the city. It's just the Script club, the boats and all that. Yeah, well we do have people there that wrap you know what I'm saying. But it's so it's hard to noticed, like to break the artist. It's like it's nothing there for real, Like it's no music, like all the music like come on and then like you got the Sierras and the

cheese zas and the cool cheese and everybody. So it's like in Miami and it's like, you know, it was slipp inside with trick and training was Uncle Luke. You know. Then we got like Iceberg, we got you know, wrappers that's come out of Miami. But it's just so hard because it's like it's nothing really down there for real, but the city right now, you guys are in that Coachella stage this year, we bring mine to coach. It's called it was um what they called me gonna coach

it up for me. Don't say each other. It is to see each other be trying to listen. We've been going inside. First show together, we gotta wake the same minute we got together ready for you know, I'm really nervous because we never did a big stage together. So we had a little show. It was so I laughed the whole performance. I laughed. I couldn't have what laughter. They made us do this because I was so serious.

Paris was so serious that had to stopped it. I was like, man, man, girl, go ahead, you can have she like did she like this with a pig? Like she down? She forgot and now it was you made me forget because she was dead as serious. So I'm go on her back and I'm cracking up laughter the whole time. So I just know that the energy everything is just gonna be so they want to see I'm not gonna I'm nervous because we never did that's a big show, you know, and I feel like together, we

never did it. So I feel like I'm gonna be focused on more like harmony because I feel like she deserved a moment, and I know the fans, you know, feel harmony. So it's just like I just really want to step back and then hook harmony. And I'm just so nervous about like both of us being on stage. The Momme is just focusing on like not forgetting the steps because she's gonna make me nervous. I probably don't even need South me and split the record, so I

feel like like breaking a start over from me. I feel like it's gonna be a whole show. I feel like everything of racing and it's gonna start now because this is what matters, you know, what we get out of getting the album. On top of that, Yeah, I'm gonna try to keep these singles these records. Am I getting my joint nasty but classy. Yes, it's called it's called it's called jobs. We're gonna aid me jobs. We're

And I feel like music, it's not no certain way you do music. I'm not gonna because a lot of people talk to listen, they'd be like, man, y'all alreally started that way, Like y'all already did this and you already did that.
