I want telling them how I'm just a little bit of editing it. All right, that's too much in first here - TMI feeling naked eye, you feeling exposed some I function. Well, when I'm exposed, that's that's when I'm at my best is when I'm okay. This podcast is going to be very difficult than I anticipated. Good.

How are you doing? Let's get off me for a while. Yeah. As well. As, for, as, for me, I'm doing okay, I was really stoked, we released our first interview podcast. Yes. Oh yeah, I should mention that. Yeah. Well those icy yesterday on Saturday. That was really good. Thank you to everyone who's liked interacting with the post and everything. Yeah. It's really about me about me. Personally, I'm doing fine.

I've been making a lot of Afro beats listening to a lot of Rama. Some Rama is that genius, man. Rama is a genius, bro. Like no, I know I swear man like him and his producers London, you know? Okay, I always hear these people like in passing out here. Oh, steady customer like, and and London and all these Producer. Yeah, I like internalized them but not really think about it too much, but now I've been like, like, actively on YouTube. Like I've been watching.

I've been watching the remix. Yeah, remakes and watching their interviews. London has a video native where he's producing. I think it's Rush by Ira star. Yeah. Oh really I haven't seen that. Okay. Yeah you need to watch that. Then there is a breakdown of Aussie dicas do. Releasing do, maybe that one, I watch, and then there's another one. I forget, he, but there's another breakdown of, was it? Because doing that as well?

Like, so I've just been like, literally stocking these guys, and being like, damn, like I respect the craft bra, you know, you hear the sounds and it's just like, you think, oh my God, all these guitars and stuff, but this guy's sample a lot. It's a little loose. I used to think. Yeah, it's a lot of Loops. It's a lot of like, just like putting hours together. I was shocked. Okay, not shocked. she wasn't shocked, but the the Soweto The

in that guitar. It's from a guy told me, you found it in. Slow, not, I found it in place. There's a guy called Sebastian Grox on on Instagram hooker. It's his blue. Her, like, I've been following for longest time, and then, when he mentioned that all this way to Loop his mind, I was like, of course, it's yours because I gay. He does amazing guitar loops and he just plays them in like you guys sample. This. So that's a really good resource, bro. Go check that out.

Do you think would you would you say this way to beat his the one of the best attributes in the past few that beat is incredible. It is incredi Regrettable it's cry. It is incredible. Is what it is. I'll yeah, no, it's really it. It's one of the best diving water. There is my favorite beat though right now is charm by Rama and I know this is not a me Vince personal career. That's not a very popular opinion, really?

Oh, yeah. Because of cause of all the controversy we know, I know the beach itself to peel. Some people are not really rocking that beat like that. Oh, bro, me, I'm rocking with that whole thing heavily. And, like, everything about that song is just perfect to me. But I've been obsessed. I've been really obsessed with who did that. Would either be tripping? Is it a London? Broad? Not London is like his new, like his new big producer. Like it cool. But London has been working us.

Yeah, no. Wait, London has been working with him since he got his London assigned to me? Even so his milk is a goat on moving. Yeah. And and then also the was a deconstruction of down that was also London. Do you remember the first? I think they showed Would they shoot the behind-the-scenes? I remember when I first heard that I was like, what's this guy doing?

Wait, we will. They've, they've shown the behind the scenes on her when coming to before come down here before come down without like the Dodgers him. And London were just remind London. We just lay the posted on some kindly link. That says, if I find it, yeah, I'll sending their well-being and I was just like I send you to my brother and he was like, yo, fam, was this guy up to this guy's making trash music, we were all wrong. Well, all wrong.

There's a because even So he brought let me put it down, deceased when I first. So, calm down because meet the first thing I saw was the video. I remember not particularly liking it. Yeah, I remember like, I had a clear. Like, okay, I'm not, I'm probably not gonna listen to this again. Mmm. And then the remix with Selena Gomez came, and that thing has, I still have a listen to the whole song on Spotify? I don't know. Bill. Now imagine if your London, bro.

You have a song with a billion? Well, He's getting his point one percent so it's good. I hope I hope is publishing is right because bro, that's a lot. Well been under dungeon, I'm pretty sure they all got a nice piece of that pie. Yeah. Hey anyway, so I did not make this the Rama podcast but like, I. Yeah, there wasn't nobody does, but it doesn't have to beat if that deep to shallow dive and after a bit shallow dive. Yeah. That which are the alphabets have. I've been listening to.

Yeah, because, you know me, when I get a temple. Is amazing, food, temperature. Temple is pretty good. Yeah, I've listened to Temples or no Temple there the producer. Yeah, I need to, I need, I need to watch more of this content. Yeah.

He's not really doing anything major, but size is the OG D follow the Stars Academy? No, I don't let me on, please.

No sighs is he has like a like a, it's almost like Timberlands. But the thing that Timbaland was doing was bringing new producer Club? Yeah, yeah. So sad is also doing that kind of thing but it's really, it's a few musicians have come out of there is like, yeah, it's pretty dope man. His, they in fact, I've attended some of their sessions were, they've had like listening sessions to some of the producers and artists did you

learn anything, they play? I don't sound a lot of the information was stuff that I would say I have heard before, but it was interesting, hearing it in that context, because then the interesting questions that were brought around and it was cool. It was cool. Is definitely something that you would learn as from that. So then you get see, who is upcoming and stuff and then kids like P Prime. Well, I guess it's so

interesting. How people Prime is a guest in his, like, 21. 22 is a young kid but is on top of the world to I don't, I don't know. You don't know P, Prime us remind you to do a deeper dive gropey know. He's one of his one of them and he's a kid too. So he's a dang, I'm sure, you know, some of the songs is his own did a bandana by a chicane fire, boy.

Yeah, I can see in your eyes your eyes are blank anyway, you know, because I generally don't know him but like, oh yeah, I'm really trying to level up my afrobeat game soon enough. I'll be the best afrobeat producer on this podcast. Not to anyway, moving on. Okay. Is that a challenge? Sir. That's not a challenge. That's just what's going to happen. Anyway. You. All right? Yeah. Let's no. Let's move on. Let's move on because I'm not. I'm just. Okay, let's know what's cool.

It's cool. I have a chick for you. You don't have any tricks. Have a trick for you to have multiple tricks for you I have chicks. Okay, so is this deep dive that you're doing with a do. Maybe and them. Yeah, I was I was doing that three years ago so just let's no no no, no, and all that type of stuff. I also did that when they came out I just went back to that the, my obsession with Lana Then is new. That's the only one that's really new. That's cute.

Okay, continue. What do we have to talk about today? I said what I said and I said it with my chest, a little. Okay, let's talk about, let's talk about the news. So, the news that that I will start from international news coming into more Kenyan specific news, I guess, we'll start with the unfortunate news of the passing of time. Not Anna, Simply the Best. Bam, bam, bam. That was incredible.

Still is the first time I remember consciously knowing about Tina, Tana was at my. I remember, I was at my cousin's place. I must have been like, maybe eight or nine. Mmm. And and we were watching the movie, there was a movie about her and and her relation had tumultuously relationship with like Ike Turner and and just all that type of stuff. And I remember even the night we were watching it at night and it was raining that there was a thunderstorm.

And I just remember just watching about Tina Turner and and just being absolutely amazed at how many years star she's paved. It was and how much she went through how much you weigh. Went through, you know, actually, yeah, that's that's the part that I need to get into. I didn't know about the whole, like, domestic abuse and stuff. That's really, as crazy.

I remember, I vividly remember there was a scene in the movie where she was like in the back seat of a car and she was kicking Ike tana and stuff like that. And that's why a lot of people in there bars in hip-hop. They're always like I'm trying to kick it like Ike Turner's shit like I don't know this II. Remember those people pass this bad? He prepares a bad. A bad habit. Taking that something. So deep and personal someone and turn it into a, just a

punchline. That's crazy to have throw a punch light. It's not even fire to stir, but just listen to this, listen to this man. Tina Turner has sold more than 180 million albums. Received 12 Grammy awards, has been inducted twice into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Was the first black artists and the first female artist to her on the cover of Rolling Stone and was awarded the lesion the owner by the French government.

Sorry for my pronunciation or they say her life has been immortalized at least in three documentaries including HBO's 2021 production. Tina motor is also featured in the nice Lab 3 film drama. What's Love Got to Do With It. I think that's the one I watched if I'm not mistaken, that might be the one that I watched and then Age musical by the name Tina that in Eternal musical which received a Tony Award and an Olivia. Oh, so she's she's a successful musician. She's up there for success.

I think she's more than musician thing to know is more because to know, so she can be calling her Tina? Like she's she's my boy. She's a, she's a high performance. Is that's one thing I really remember about is a performance is like, she's very eccentric. I think she paved the way for a lot of us. These leg. Hello. Legwork was the thing, she paved the way for a lot of this new performances and also, and also, their level of Fame. These people had was insane because think about it.

Like, these guys were famous to, like our parents generation and back then, there was no internet. Like, you had to be supremely famous for people, like with limited access to Media. Yeah, to know who you are. Annoying music know your life. You know what I mean? Either to her, man, there's people now. Today's are not as famous as like, Michael Jackson's T. That's really interesting though that's an interesting topic. Has the internet made people less famous.

Do I design a dick? Like a because there's more Avenues to look at. Someone does that mean their name doesn't carry? Because their name only carries out to as far as the internet goes. Yeah. And then once that boundary is stopped, no one knows. Like, I don't know, I don't know. But like, I know I know. Well recently, there was a video Taylor Swift posted of like a sea of people like outside of her like performance or something. And then everyone was like, I

think those are discussions. A on Twitter about like, how famous Taylor Swift is, what people what we battling with videos of Michael Jackson, like at his hotel. And people were like this, and this isn't even a show. This is him at a hotel and you just see a sea of people, like, at the bottom, then they're like, that's Fame. Because, like, it's just crazy, like, he's just at his hotel. This is not a performance. People are just there to see him in his birthday. People really didn't have

nothing. It's just like, yeah. With my cologne, the fame, the film back in the day was a bit intense. But anyway back to Tina Turner like rest in peace. Super legendary individual and yeah she's at her man. Yeah you know she's up there for sure she is. Yes in peace. Tina Turner. On to more international news will just brush over this because all honestly, doesn't

really. Like, I don't know, I don't know how much it affects us as Canyons, but there's good news for song, writers and artists, because the copyright royalty board, the crb has confirmed that the streaming royalty rate for songwriters for 2018 to 2022. Has been like increase increased. Yeah, it's going to a grand total of 15.1% some that's how much you get out music and that's what the crease that's a huge improvement from 11-point. What is a restaurant used to be?

Or, you know, way it goes, bro, goes into price gains, have some nerve, the audacity of these people. But yeah, but this is a big win. They also said that This gonna be a another, it's dubbed. The phone records for wear by 2027 song, writers and artists will be expected to earn. A whopping total of fifteen point. Three five percent the whopping, 15 percent canonical royalties and McConnell mechanical royalties are essentially on the

imposed on streaming. So like when you were when you pay a subscription Ian fee for a streaming platform, the 15% of 15.1% would go to the songwriters and producers and artists and I think that fee is still divvied up. As well. So wondering, what opened up for them to be able to To, to allow that extra three percent that they added or whatever percentage that they added. Or did they just reduce their greed by 3%? I don't know if they reduced the greed.

Actually, don't know where the impetus for the change, came from all all. We know about this is that they're giving the, the they've increased the money, that's all the information we have. I do know that Spotify and other music companies including Amazon and Google subsequently launched a legal appeal, against the due dates arguing that they were, and with the quickness is more money. No, you're not. How dare you. How dare you do such an abominable thing.

But interesting about Apple wasn't part of that appeal. So and I don't know if Ty don't worry about. Is preparing a big appeal, not part, maybe they're not just reacting. Maybe they're like, let's sit down and see how it plays out and then we can appeal, Apple seems like the type to to the. So anyway artist will at this

will make more money. They have been but it's module that mean for us though, in this side of the world where streams affects mostly, the u.s. so, I don't know what this means for US. Unless maybe you're signed to a collecting Society or like a PR, oh, that's Affiliated which we, and which we may or maynot requirement, which we may or may not recommend. But I know a few artists like who are signed to ask up for example. Some of our popular artists who are sent to ask up.

I don't know if I've seen one signed to BMI but like this is good news for people like them, I guess. Yeah. Yeah, so anyway, it's good news. Shortage of them for really unpack the right thing, will it really affect us? Very similar. All right, cutting them in more local news, we had we had see we had talked about the the London, the london-based diaspora event that was going to have King cacophony, one butchers, And all

those guys. So this is a mini review about how it went over the weekend actually. I've been I've been stocking butchers and muscles stories just to see what they've been up to and let's do it's dope to see butchers out there, you know, in London doing his thing, you know, it's actually due to see how far music can take you.

So that's honestly Like very I don't know this is very wholesome so I'm reading from an article that says the event held at the Royal Regency Drew an enthusiastic crowd of Music Fanatics and revelers of the Kenyan diaspora from in one and can cock are known for their exceptional talent and unique style, lived up to their reputations as they deliver the high energy and Unforgettable performance. The artistes Did the audience from the moment they stepped

onto stage leaving? No doubt about their incredible stage, presence and Artistry. The article goes on to just talk about how amazing sing the Praises. Yeah, it was. And yeah, I mean, that's cool. The lights are dimmed and the crowd dispersed. When are we going to travel? And with our music, man, we need to go. I need to drop music first, so that's step one. Yeah. Yeah, we need to drop this week but I'm happy to hear that that Festival went well. Yeah. And ask. Okay.

Yes they desperate. Shut up to your canyons in the diaspora really come out to support, man. It's such a huge market for music. That's very interesting to me and I don't, I don't think I have enough enough words to explain why. Why is it in? Yeah, that I can't explain why right now but you just really interesting to me.

That I've disappointed. No, I had touched it needs like in a knot in a previous podcast when you're in the desperate you are really almost desperate for anything that connects you back to home. Yeah, trust me. And and then I think there's even an over performance of like when you go out there like people try to when and especially when people are around like, for example, fellow Kenyans like the even overcompensate.

How can you Are you know, I don't know how to explain it but like it's a thing, trust me. It's a speaking Swahili even going as far as speaking Korean what other longer there and you come to Kenya. When you come home, I will be making my side English, like not. Yeah, exactly. Aging. Like I'm from, you know, we can't hit. Oh, I can't. And I'm not, I'm not, I'm not hating me, I'm speaking from my personal experience. Okay, like that's exactly what my responsibility.

Oh yeah, yeah, she's all iPhones perspective here. Know me, I'm speaking from personal experience, like when you're out there people really, really, really just want to resonate with him. And I don't know, I have my own thoughts on that but like, this is a music podcast. They're not. No, no. Well, maybe in a future podcast, I will thanks. So yeah, shout out to them for having a dope Top performance and shouted to Boutros, and, and King Kaka, and everyone else was

involved. Looks like the fool anymore. Okay, that's dope. Yes. Yeah, that was dope. I don't do you want to talk about the Nia schinsky aiming for music immortality? Oh yeah I mean like I see yeah he's a so he's he indicated says in an exclusive interview with Nairobi news. It just talking about his his goal, actions case been one of the Arches to I think has been he's been I don't say bothered but he's been There's been many requests for him, too. Lay down like a black, almost what?

Like, what's out the soul is doing right now. Yeah, so generation like a lot of he has had a lot of requests of when are you, when are we going to see a? When are we going to see a national scheme mentoring new artists? And when are we going to end? His answer has always been It's something that he would want to do, but he has to, he needs to figure out the systems and everything, right? As part of that, I think is so this interview, he talks about how he wants to leave a musical

Legacy Beyond him, right? So technically what that means is after he's retired and he's done making music, like it like to have ruled a technically, I see what you did there, sorry. But Wow, the he like after he's done with 93 me of what was I saying? After it's done making music, he is going to like it have stuff to keep releasing deep into their years and deep. And that's, I think more artists. Not all artists are built for that I would say, but I think that's really cool if he, if he

creates a really cool catalog. But now, see the issue with that is you have to think into the future, you can't make Dutch music knowledge. You think even 5 years? 10 years from? Now, we don't know when he's going to retire, but then you have to be thinking like, super, super, super ahead and have your finger on the pulse like completely. So that's really dope. And here, sir. He also says music watch. This space, something is coming your way way sooner than you

think. We're going to get a new job. The food interesting was the last thing he dropped. I don't check. What was the last thing he dropped. Last album was like, that's, well, that's his first album, his dropped an EP after that trip, he's sort of an EP and sort of EP, and then a bunch of singles. So so he hasn't dropped an album. So anyway, yeah, definitely looking forward to some Nations music. They'll be Communications comedic be good and the interesting to see What this him?

Wanting to leave a legacy would look like more artists need to do that. Yeah, so social of thought of that earlier again, maybe it's not for that. I feel like sorry to interrupt, but I feel like this was this whole article was also a bit of a roll out for techno because they also talked about the new like The new like the fact that nation's key is now a brand ambassador, ya know. And they and if you've been on your socials or YouTube, you've probably seen the advert. Yeah.

It's gonna throw this out there. Yeah. You know, the music is produced by oh yeah, no, no. Let me let me live, I'm saying my flowers now. Let me give myself giving myself flowers. No, it does is. That's that's what I think they recorded that. At that ad in the UK if I'm not wrong. Okay. But yeah, man, that's cool. That's that's a nice one for the

portfolio. A techno when you are making a dime cosine, do you think, huh, bro, does my Noise by a big event in the Synod not even in the slightest? I made that bitch probably in at most 5 minutes, 10 minutes, that most plus mixing and bouncing like that was wondering, it was such a throwaway, like I'd put it in one of the folders where it's just like, Stay there. I don't know what you're going to do with you and somehow it found its way.

Here's an interesting question. Where did you find this? Can you say, where you found the something that's the thing. I don't remember. I do remember, it's just one like, it was one of those days where you know, when you just pull up a failure like you know it, I feel unproductive today. Let me just let me just put something cook together. So just clicking on things. I had it, it wasn't even. I wasn't even like high heel like this time zone.

You're making beats on you're like, oh my gosh, this is the most amazing thing, the world, this one is just like, you know what, let me just patch on this thing. Cut some stuff, take it out like the with the drums in but it's crazy. It's crazy. How much how far that song has gone? It is it is it's really cool. Yeah and and it's interesting how rappers will pick Click and you know musicians many musicians will go to a producer, The Producers sweat.

He has poured out his Blood Sweat and Tears or not. Join their like this one is cool. And I'm the one that you barely thought of. That's the one that like your. This is it. That's the one that. Yeah, but that's cool man shot at you who has happened and shout out to him and techno. Yeah, okay so here's the other big news and shout out to you by delay. Thank you for, for social change and Priests, and I just made it up. Yes, yes. That's what I was gonna say and

I'm standing here. Like, Anyway, the other news is pertain or is with the above Poonam wamba news about like that name to hell. They just rolls off the tongue, nicely about Poonam wamba and I'm sorry. Actually does. So apparently above minimum vows to launch a talent a hella despite a court order not so the cabinet secretary for youth Affairs, Sports and art located that operations for the launch of the talent. I hella program are on course, despite a court order

suspending. The process. Apparently, he spoke on Tuesday after chairing a meeting of the planning committee to assess. The header, the Readiness of the official launch of the program by President William Ruto on June 2nd 2022. I'm very interested to see what happens because that's coming up. Apparently no I'm laughing. It's just it's why whenever there's any what you call it just a window. Crack a crack of a window of progress here to do this news of

something. There's people Trying to stop. It's just, it's just Delirious how that would know. It's right in front of our eyes, how this thing happened. It's ridiculous. Anyway, so the program has two consuls one for Creative, creative stroke entertainers, and the other for sports mr. Namba, had picked his council members including prominent, celebrities such as stick taka as yet and musician. Occur Theory, the comedian Churchill and bloggers than is a toombi.

So there was a petition filed by a child's Mugen, a against the talent, a hella program, citing legal, and constitutional flaws. He also said that the appointments were based on the popularity of the council members and not married, which is something that people are as we had stopped yet. Yeah. Like how did they select this people? At this guy's, do they have any Vision in order to do it? Or he's just, I don't get tired. To you sir. So I know, I know.

It's just like, what, like, how did they land on these names? I so I did some, some digging. I actually pulled up the actual Gazette From the Canyon Gazette of what this whole initiative

was meant to be about. So they say I'm just reading here from the Kenya Gazette, Bravo volume 32 And they say it is notified for general information of the public that following the presidential pronouncement, on the 12th, December 23, 22 of, of government, plans to revitalize Sports, and the creative economy through the revolutional. River route. Hey Lucien nosy, oh my God, that's what I'm loose hella initiative. The cabinet secretary minister of Youth Affairs, the Arts and

sports has established talent. I hella Council and its Nicole committees for sports and creatives respectively, comprising the following. So essentially it was divided creatives and sports. So the council had a bunch of like Parliament people and then the sports section was to be chaired by karora, do and the sports section actually looked like it had like some legitimate people like goals, but I'm not going to reduce it at the sports section was by Carol Radu.

It's Chad business presenter. What you doing sport? This is supposed to represent a little bit. Casual The Duel has been in sports four times, okay? Like she she had she for me thinks she has like The credibility of my opinion. I might be wrong, but I think she's credible. So I'll just focus on the music one. So the creative technical committee is music was supposed to be chaired by Daniel dumb. Buki AKA charge has been around the members.

He knows a few years, I guess, be there around you. Yeah. Yeah he does. He does know a few things about music and royalties. So the members or I Kenya dongho Jimmy gasps. Ooh, Catherine come out. Esther, a course, kiss Atomic Andy as yet, nathania Rosemary, Wahoo Rosemary, I want this son Solomon, awadhi Douglas, keep cool rui and Susan Acosta, seba.

So the terms of the references for the creative technical or committee was to. So, essentially, this is what their goals are supposed to be. Um, so listen very carefully. This is what these guys were going to do for us. So there are supposed to propose reliable systems for the seamless and accountable collection and distribution of royalties to all creatives. This is what as you had was going to do for us then proposed implementation Frameworks for the national creatives economy plan.

I did, you know about such a thing happening. Maybe I'm just your uninformed, maybe, they know then there was supposed to manage the national creatives awards. In Brackets can Ian Graham, he's supposed to digital space in Talent, search and isolation, nurturing and exposure, right? Deploy essentially, I think they're supposed to go to like schools and some so and iron finals in our talent in our new

to essentially. Yeah, they're supposed to establish a robust framework to monetize the creative sector to expand employment opportunities and success. You supposed to be there, they're supposed to come into the okay. I went to the 23 and we're still making a framework. Yeah. Advice on them. Master plan for upgrading Arts facilities and infrastructure, Countrywide to International standards. Okay, it's okay.

Yeah. Well, and then there's supposed to develop a framework to Anchor and promote Kenya's. Atop filmmaking destination. And this was a be, I talked about this. I feel like, I feel like there's more of a, what you call it a An emphasis focus and emphasis on. Yeah, on video products TV and all that business filmmaking with the been some films that have been released, right? Yes, I don't know. It will be interesting to sit down in these people and actually see Luca see how what

they think about music. Specifically Forget music within the Arts like what they feel because it feels like a side later is, it's like it's a side quest. It's a side job is what it is. I mean like you read this list and everything and on paper it sounds great. It sounds like what do you want? Sounds like what you should see on this because some of this It's gonna stack some this point I repeat, I repeat of themselves.

They had the same things, but then you think about like, okay, how are you going to implement that? And I guess part of the implementation is the hiring of these peoples where we are supposed to be in the consul.

Yeah. And they, some of them just on paper and from outside looking in, don't seem like they have the credibility to, you know, add like and for this yeah, I do. This point if there are two dual to be a surprise to us because again going back it says that he looks like he was the he selected some of the most popular and it is the most popular if you're going to popularity. It's such a weird like you just abandon this plan, speak people who would be good for the job

because you can't go to talk. So to, to talk to, to create art for everyone, like music is involved as dance. There's everything you have to pick someone who is well, What do I know? I'm sitting in my so this guy know, essentially what you're saying is what child's meghani, the the creative Enthusiast, the guy who who, who took this to court? Yes saying and he essentially said in one of his statements, certainly no selection process has been shown as to how they Levin were, right?

Yeah. From the massive eight million Kenyans on The Tick Tock platform from which the appointees appear to have been drawn that so spicy. And then he says, You're implying number actions above are in flagrant, disregard of the law, which our client will not countenance. So, clearly like these people pushing back and listen in the, the Justice in charge of whatever. Lawrence burgundy, suspended,

the consoles and everybody. So according to the chords fish, it should not be going on but like according to a Babu it will. So I'm To see what happens. But rutile blessed him with this thing. So I that, I hope it doesn't work. Because, yeah, I mean, I'm paper, it seems like definitely need. We definitely need a Kenyan G, is to be back up and managed properly the canyon Grammys. But we saw a have to have the framework is really important though. Have to figure that out before

anything else. Awesome. We're going, what we're going to put our like, we're gonna pay Pay attention to this stuff because like all the people it seems like such great promises but like that's always been getting. Honestly, it's just been promises. We don't want no promises. No promises won't do anything. Promises are as cheap as dust. Let's see some Building. She'll just chips as they would

say in their egos here. Speaking of the UK, you know, UK could also stand for uncultured clan, which if you look at the word culture, like culture clean, it is just car, deeply, keep going, keep going. No culture is cut the B's kids. Okay, so name and as we know, cardi B is a prominent artists in the music industry and when you speak about the music industry, obviously you're going to talk about Music.

And when you talk about music and you know, culture is, you know, the young like reaching into that bag of grasping at anything to tie this together. So, really grasping to say this together. I said that to say new music sorrow. My is, what are you doing? Sighs together does? It's a very, very weird. Not to though, I've never seen that kind of not before. That's a new one. Anyway, you busy instrumental

music, man. Whose job waiting to hear what you've been listening to. I hope I don't disappoint the street. Honestly, I wish I had. I haven't paid all the attention to new music. I I know why I probably should have but yeah, yeah. But I mean, Zoom through it. I don't like zooming through it because then you're you develop a zoo me, what you call it opinion. So let me pull up what I think. Slacked, sorry. Could you talk as I Oh my God. Are we going? You'll make it seem like so.

Nothing is wrong? Yes, a new music. Well, I'm just gonna have to say we'll have to see what I listen. Okay, please do. The first song. I listened to was Casey fire Casey's new song with Keisha first time. Yeah, he's going to jump really far. The substance tie is it looks like he's building up to a project, right piano. He announced the project he announced his droppings. Oh, he did. Did I mean yeah. Okay. Looking forward to that for sure. I enjoyed it.

It's very the weekend s but also the weekend. I mean it's not really the weekend because like it's still it's like an 80s like retro like synth wave type sound. So it's not really attributed to the weekend, really. But like the weekend is there is his most his yeah. Well, he's popular recently years. He's made it, he's made it his own. And this just sounds like That he's yes it does. And that was really it was a really good lesson to ya for me. I'm shattered Casey, bro. Shut up.

Casey he needs to come to Kenya in Kenya and if he does come to Kenya, I'm Gonna Be Ready with Beats for you already know. Anyway, sorry that's a sidebar. Some what else is listening to you? Talk about what you understand to very dropped inside out what you think of that. Inside a Storyteller. I actually really liked it out produced by GL. I liked it. I thought it was a good. Listen I liked his vocals on the song. Yeah, I thought it about you.

It was cool. School is what you would expect. I guess I'm waiting for when they would maybe have a few joints on his album. Like I want to see him give For something that's a little bit out of his comfort zone. Just to see how his fans would take it because we expect this kind of song from him. You know what do I know though? Anyway, on-site or more just sounds and kou aki-nee the Jedi? That's a nice name. Motor sounds has been dropping repeatedly. That's good.

I don't know if you heard that I did, I did. Yeah. Ego by fancy Fingers and It's the name cracks me up. Bananas, overdose. I can't believe you bananas over this has been around. 5:30 might have had that name once but bananas overdose though. Like what I like to know how to do origin origin of that name. Is Lisa Larry actually don't know, I don't know the origin but I think it's an interesting thing because it's it captivates

an anesthetic overdose. And what did you think about the like The Indian samples and Indian boy at school. I'm always with people like putting new sounds in there. Let's see if it works, I guess. Yes, the thing much guess a job to River. Yeah, much guess is he's doing this? Doing on some country me? Yeah, just cool. We need more that, that's good to have that social diversity in here. Yeah. Let me see. Let me see, let me see. New funk against Israelis in

music. He disease stage releasing music. You know how they do it? It does this released. Of course, why you asking? No way he did no way. They least we didn't do it last week and he released again, we need to stop mentioning to it. No, I know you're joking re-releasing what he does, he's released music. Yeah, yes coach tank in here with, you know, ideally on Josie Shava Shava Shava Shava.

And I see this, you know, I was about to make a joke Joke that oh, wow, this week, There's no, it does is music and his dad another week for that joke maybe next time it does. This is a beast woman. Yeah. Yeah that's that. New video released encourages your homey groovy man, and I've rarely heard her on afrobeat. So this was a nice like know the Beatles. Okay. I feel like the beach could have gone better from chap. Given her a little bit more.

It sounded a bit. I don't want to I don't want to say because I didn't anything you say or do when you're talking about other people's music or sound like you're hating, I don't sound like a meeting, but I felt like maybe the college would have been a little bit better groovy Joe definitely should be looking out for that. So anyway, it's it's cool. I feel like, I'm just what did you listen? Talking myself into a hole. What did you listen to you? You talk now you talk now.

Please lost by did listen to last bite. Talking night. Oh no, I did not. I literally like it's like on some house like Vibe, it sounds like it could be an on an episode of Love Island. What's lover? If you watch Love Island, you you'll know exactly what I'm talking about. You've never watched love Island some yeah. Previously on love Island. No, I did. You say we're going to jog my memory if I haven't seen it. Love island is it's a dating show.

It's a UK show. That's where it started, but it's also in USA and Australia, see loves their teaching shoes. Essentially, they put 10 castmates in a villa together and the supposed to find love. It's very entertaining. I am a very huge fan of love. I are you hopeless romantic anyway? Hopeful romantic or remote. It's not about the romance. It's about drama drama. And the senselessness. Yeah, that's what it's about.

Yeah. And then I listened to flex baijiu phase Tesla and spoke and solid tone that was cool. And then the legend octopus released a song cjy. Those also cool but for me, the so the Thing that stood out the most this week was the EP by mr. Copy new music. Freddie didn't give him. No love, that's ridiculous. For me. It didn't man. It don't mean me personally, who is putting this thing together you guys get serious. Yeah, but you can turn everything on it though, that's the thing.

Aside. But what what did you say? I'm so you can put every every single release on here. So, yes, you can because there's a lot of Songs from foreign people in the playlist. But hey, that's the Kuwait. That's true. You get rid of some, get you to get rid of some of these people. Yeah, we don't.

Yeah. But but, but, you know, you know, what the rationale is, you know, they're like, you know, like we said, the funny thing about playing this is, you think a playlist is what's gonna put you on, but essentially they want to put music on a playlist that's gonna get them more. People going to their playlist which nasty work. It's like, Yeah, I guess that's just how it looks. But anyway, so cop released a project called music to step 2.

It's an EP it's only four songs. 10 minutes long or my god, do you know how for me? This is perfect because of my shot at the, attentions fun, obviously cop produced. The whole thing. I loved the transitions on this. I think the transitions are sick and and I love the Easter eggs. The last two songs are both two minutes and 54 seconds, we do before any of that stuff. That's just a coincidence. And it's not actually a, there's no way that's a coincidence. No way. That's a coincidence.

It could be though, it could be a, who knows? So yeah, the the drums on this project like the a to weights and just the drum work. Insane. Insane level of production. Yeah, on that. Front answers. And so, yeah, man. Shout out to cap my favorite song on there was just the step. Yes. Bunch. Just because, man, the production on that, like, he just decided, you know, what? A to it. He just said he to it. Yeah. Hey guys, here is rates for you. Yeah, scintillation.

I'm gonna do them. Yeah, that song has a busy. It has quango and it has Swahili poppy on it. And I think they, They all came through. Yeah, man, fire. So I don't know, some, if you would, I don't know. I think for me, I don't want to play like the step you. This one. Give the people the phones. Let's give people the bounce. So yo, here is the step. Yes, Bunch by mr. Michael Carpenter. AKA cup, aka the guy who produced. Oh my God, what's this song? Wrong with the butcher. So yeah.

Yeah. Yeah, AKA mr. Producer of yeah, he has the step. Yes Plunge. See what it does. Don't buy, let me show this girl. 100% you and getting your blessed by shipping, hang on me. So Hannah / saying getting your leg by q and you mess week. Yeah. Trying to reach but you can't keep throwing a lot at leaf. Richard, please don't give up my child. Yes, that was cap. Michael Carpenter of his latest ep. The step is Bunch.

That was the step is Bunch. The EP is not called the step is Bunch. The EP is called Anthem music to step two is the Step 2. Yeah, I was digging the marching sounds. He put it.
