#271 - DJ RockSteddy

we did Dallas. Wow, how many cities is it gonna? Hit? Man? Look here, I can't even I don't even have an answer for you. Like it's literally like it really is a pop up, you know what I mean. So we're not playing, We're adding cities like at random right now. So I tell people, like, listen, just because you don't see your city, you know what I'm saying, don't mean it's not coming. Don't mean it's not coming, you know

what I'm saying. So what was the kind of like the idea and the thought process towards obviously paying homage I mean to Dolph, who is not physically here with us anymore, but it's still very prevalent in our culture. There's the new album that just came out, well, it's definitely yeah Paper Effed Frank the album out right now, which is doing extremely well. Yeah, I'm saying like it's yo. I mean, it's all Dolph, you know what I'm saying. It's him. Even the museum, it's like it's him, Like

we really like we're working through him. And you know, Dof is relegit, you know what I'm saying, Like you know data better, like he won of a kind, your genius, you know what I'm saying. So like I mean, the world needs to know, you know what I'm saying. Like his fans, I mean, like I just the greatest fans in the world, Like they come out from all over the support and yeah, some people actually never got a

chance to see him live in concert. So like them coming to the museum is like they get to feel like they're getting close, you know what I'm saying. That It's crazy because I just got like on Instagram now on stories they have like memories. Yeah, and uh, I just got a memory pop up on my story. It was like two or three years three years ago today that Dolphin Glock were in LA for the tour at uh what was the venue they did in La? It

was the Wilter. Yeah, that shit was crazy. It was like literally today was a three year anniversary popped up. I was like, oh shit, crazy, legendary tour. If you did not get to see that tour, I feel like that was both of those guys and they come out back together on stage. It was legendary, dude. So like for you, man, I mean I met you with Dolph probably in twenty thirteen or fourteen when I was in Tampa. Yeah, most definitely Tampa. We Daphe just released King of Memphis album, yeah,

which which is one of my favorites. Yeah, the interview went up to us, that's the one has what's the one is royalty on? Yeah, Royalties, that's my favorite do so Yeah, No, that was a that was Ara. It's crazy too because like living in the South, like, I don't think people who maybe are from other cities or from other regions of the country understand to reach that Dolph had or just like what his music means to so many people because like La, New York, obviously there's

fans he sells our shows. But I feel like the cultural impact of someone like young Dolph is not fully appreciated unless you're like nearby where he's from. You know what I mean? Is that fair? Not what man? Not really man? Because we got support just come from like I mean when he was alive like that that that time period like twenty thirteen, twenty fourteen, twenty fifteen, like to be in Florida, Dolph had it like it felt different, you know, most definitely, And to be honest, like I

don't even like like with dolphs like his supporters. I don't even like using the word fans right because it like it waters it down to me, like like it's on some industry shit and it's like it's not what it is. Like the people that come out, they're like really support like their family, like like for real, for real, you know what I'm saying, Like man, the paper out, they gang gang for sure. The ones that like, yeah,

they man super super support orders. And I think the difference is it's just like he never had a machine, bro, you know what I'm saying. We never had a machine. So like the people they supported Dolph, like whether they whether they bought the album where they bought tickets to the concert about merch like they like they helped build this thing. They're still going like they're a part of it. Like it's so it's not like I don't even like

using the word fans West. You got some huge supporters and it's like they come out and it's just it's

been loved. Bro, give me a give me like your top give me a crazy DJing for Dolph tour story, because you've been at festivals, you've done the tours, and then you've also probably done the craziest small town pick up a brown back type of situations at a nightclub, Like give me like a crazy night with Dolph that you can like kind of reflect on now that it's just like probably okay, like probably like one of the like most memorable for me would be like us just

starting out, like really you know, work in the small markers, and I can remember this one time these guys booked us, and I don't please forgive me because I forget who the promoters were, but we had some promoters book us in East Saint Louis and Illinois, you know, and everybody you know about Saint Louis, like East sat like where things get Harry. Yeah, yeah, for real, for real, it's on the other side of the state line. Most definitely.

So these guys like obviously we pull up, you know what I'm saying, and we pull up to the venue excited we got a show. But it's dead, bro. You know what I'm saying, It's dead. And it's not dead because doll not buzz and it's dead because like these promoters really wasn't promoters Like these were street niggas, like they they were like they like they were street niggas, like they just loved off right, like they just wanted

to you know what I'm saying. Thought like when I get with him, were like, bro, he like hey, yo, they spent their money. Bro, we're gonna give him a show, and we gave him a full show. And it's really just them like they just wanted to see him. They almost it's like booked him just so they could get a personal concert with most definitely know what I'm saying. East Saint Louis and East Saint Louis like for real, so man, and it's just and it always just stuck with me, like, oh this is how much of a

grass we had on the streets. It's just like and if you're a professional too, like, hey, yo, they paid Yeah, most definitely, Like we could have walked out and be like, nah, this ain't it. This ain't the look or whatever or not. But Rose, we stayed. We kicked it, you know what

I'm saying, and touched everybody else there. So it was a little So this is one of my most memorable, Like even though we'd have been all over with it and you're sure, but it's like the obviously, what is the the necessities for when you guys would tour, Like what what would alf like need in the dressing room or what would something that like? Was I always hear socks, draws all that kind of shit. It's like normal shit

for touring. But like you guys are on the road, you're hitting East Saint Louis, you're hitting you know, random cities in Georgia, random places in Ohio on shore, Like, what's like something y'all needed in every city? You know what's not It wasn't really difficult, like want of his bag woods and he wanted a fruit trey, you know what I'm saying. And he wanted his cheese and crackers, and that was like that was it. He didn't really require all lot like crazy as you would think he

probably would. You know what I'm saying. His rider wasn't ridiculous at all. Like he just was one of his little zuzu's and wales and he was good.

Uh, for you guys putting together this museum had to probably there's a big responsibility in that, right because you're asking fans to come out,

you're representing him. How much was Dolf's wife involved in like maybe curating or helping maybe add items to the museum, Like in terms of just because like when you go to a museum, I feel like there's gotta be like, yo, I don't know what's in there, I'm going tonight, but

like you're gonna see it, You're gonna you're gonna love it. Yeah, she most definitely like like one thing, not only her but just the family, and most definitely being very intentional to trying to be respectful, you know what I'm saying as possible, you know, not only for the for dofts, you know what I'm saying, not only for his wife and it's it's family, but even the supporters if they just want everybody, like, you know, to be respectful as

as we possibly can with with this legacy, because this is important. This is you know what I'm saying, It's a big deal, you know what I mean, Like, make sure we tell the story right and make sure we you know, portray him how he will want to be portrayed if he was here. So they most definitely have you know, all of his family just came and checked it out and put input on it, and you know,

we made adjustments where we need to make adjustments. But you know, overall, like man, oh, it's it's lit, bro, It's lit. Like it's a real experience for the culture, Like this is something that you have to see, like you just you got to see it, and once you in it, like you feel it. Do you have a copy this rookie card for Dramran or Dolphin Glocker in

the background, I don't. I need to get away. And it's crazy because just being on even when I went out on Glock's last tour, Yellow Tape Tour, and he actually had a few things actually, like bringing it card and he signed it. Oh yeah, that'd be crazy to have. Yeah, so that's like, yeah, it's missing from my collection, but I ain't. I'm gonna get one for you, man, like from your perspective, without diving into anything too much, but like Memphis feels like historically it's been one of the

more divided hip hop communities. I don't know if uh, it feels like lately that there's a lot more positivity. Like I feel like I got like an elite Choppers, somebody who's definitely shout shout out Man, shout out he Kid. I mean, it's a lot like Memphis got a lot of talent, and it's a lot of new you know

what I'm saying, new generation. It's crazy. I was just having this conversation with Hi Kid the other day and I was just telling him, like he just brought Slimmeroni on the show recently, Dope Dope Dope, and I was, you know, I was telling him because like, you know,

we was just discussing the whole King of Memphis. You know this thing, right, you know, what I'm saying, and like, and when you interviewed Doph, like you know, he'd be like, man, he broke it down like King of Memphis is not saying, hey, I'm King of mephis all y'all like buter me, No, He's like, man, yo, we all kings. Like man, everybody's

a king, like you handle your business so so. And Doff's whole mission was to show people that, ay, if I can do it, man, you can do it too, and you can probably do it better than I did it. Like he wanted that, like he embraced that, you know what I'm saying, Like he want all his artists to be bigger and better than him. You know what I'm saying.

He won't and even if you're not his artist, he still wants you to be bigger, you know what I'm saying, and better, like because he understood like it's is most definitely is enough everybody to go go around. Yeah. I feel like when he made that that, I mean obviously put the album out. Same thing, Like like when I said he was the King of the South, people like, what the fuck? Who is this guy? This was like

I was saying that ship very early. Yeah, most definitely, you know what you know, I was saying it that he most definitely was. But somebody should like say, my thing is is like like you said, like with dolphins, like he proclaimed it, nobody else is gonna proclaim it, and who's gonna tell him different at that time? Like what are we talking about? I think his philosophy was just different about it. Though it wasn't still like wasn't

it wasn't like king. It's just like, hey, you know, you know I'm a king in Memphis because most definitely Yo shout out to those before is man balling g like they're kings of meph Right, their kings of Memphis. Man Hard p Gangs the Boot, She's a queen of Memphis. You know, Big lost to man fuck Man, Memphis has had a rough too. I just yeah, because Gangster Boo Man, she was. She was a pioneer for sure, Gangs the Boo was a good friend, you know what I'm saying.

Very like to really know her, Like if you don't know it, you just you think she hard and she just gangsters to the core. But if you really know what, man, she just got such a sweet soul. She's like a sweet person, like in real life, like for real, how hard has it been for you? Man? Being you know? And I was. I was close with Dolf obviously. He was the homie me. And it's crazy because him and I talked two or three days before he passed about Glock and he was like, I need to get Glock

on the show. He's about to, you know, get his ship together. And I was like, and I told him, I told us to Glock. I was like, me and Dolph talked because I've interviewed Block before Dolph was behind the camera and this was like before Glock. I think really kind of was comfortable talking and he didn't really know me, so it was like a bad interview, you know what I mean, Like he was like one word answers.

And I remember the last combo I had with Dolf was like, bro, please talk to him because he's a star. But you we gotta we gotta get hit like what we get, but you gotta understand about Ian, like he a real deal. Long, we just had a great interview. But that was my last combo with Dolf. But I was gonna ask like, like like Dolf was my guy man, like him and I were super tight, like but he

was your brother, you know what I'm saying. So I know what it felt like losing him just from like some who was like an industry friend, you know what I mean, working with Empire and and I was in Las Vegas for the Latin Grammys around guys. He when when when it happened in November, you know, and uh, but how have you been able to kind of it's been a year, you know, I can't imagine being in your shoes and losing someone like Dolph. I mean, it hurt, Bro, Like I can't fake it. It hurt, you know what

I'm saying. Like we did everything together, but at the at the end of the day, like Dolf, like he just so he just he's just such a visionary like Bro just would always say like, man, we got to

keep this, We got to keep this rolling. Like you know what I'm saying, Yo, it was one day whenever I'm gone, like this is gonna continue to roll, you know what I'm saying, Like and you always say like you know, like don't know this shit mean nothing, like this money, this jewelry is cause just like this shit don't mean nothing, you know what I'm saying, Like that ain't with life about so like seeing him, like just the impact that he made, like on the culture and

on the world, like on on the hood like today. This's what it's about. Legacy, right, you know what I'm saying, Like, that's what it's about. So we're gonna honer it and we're gonna you know what I'm saying, like we got a lifelong commitment when we say you know what I'm saying, pr e five life like this. You know what I'm saying, Like we mean it. We're gonna stand on it. Right. What's up y'all, bootlet keV here? Hey, look my bookie, man, it's a big weekend in sports. The big game is Sunday,

From your perspective, what do you think is the missing component to like having real UNI in Memphis or do you think it's not possible. No, I ain't gonna say it. I'm not gonna say it's it's not possible, you know, but we we you know, we we do have something that are stuck in their ways, and I think it's gonna most definitely take you know, us embracing the new,

newer generation. And you know what I'm saying, so much talent in the city and like not holding you know what I'm saying, not not not holding resources away or not like not helping one another. You feel what I'm saying, like we gotta open it up, Like we gotta like this. The light is on the city right now, you know what I'm saying, Like I feel real good about it. Like you know, it may look a certain way on the outside looking in, but man, we got it's a

lot of good stuff going on in this city. Yeah, I feel like it's the biggest I mean, I would always say Memphis, and I feel like Detroit is on its way up to Memphis. I feel like got it right right now. Memphis got this ship. I was telling somebody else there too, like to watch out Detroit. The Detroit's on the como is on the come up for sure.

Sure everybody's signing somebody from Detroit and Detroit's on fire man shot say everybody from trick for you as a DJ man, like you know, just on some DJ ship, Like you know, being an artist DJ is very you get a lot of responsibility. You gotta kind of be you sometimes you gotta be the grown up. Wear a lot of hats. You wear a lot of hats, wear a lot of you kind of a kind of a security guard too. You kind of tour manager. You know, you do a lot of ship. I'm sure we get

it done. Everyone picks up the slack on the team. But for you now, like uh, you know, just on some DJ ship, like what what is? What are what is like yours? There? Are you gigging? Are you doing clubs? Like? What are you doing right now? Just I'm doing I'm

doing I'm doing clubs here and there. Most definitely like celebrating, you know, the release of paper Out, Frank, you know what I'm saying, Doss album, So you know, I step out, I'm stepping out on on behalf of Dolf every time I pop out the coordinate, that is what it is, you know what I'm saying is as far as that.

But for the most part, just overseeing a lot of day to day operations with the label, just making sure everything is running how it's supposed to run, so man, we can do what we need to do that stuff. So you're you're now you're now helping with the operations on the label side. Yeah, most definitely. I wish. I wish I always have men, you know what I'm saying.

But I think it's just more kind of out on the forefront now because people kind of see, like this, what's going on, Like I'm gonna care to continue to carry the toys for my brother. So how much unreleased Dolph music is there? Because he recorded at a very high pace. So I can imagine Paper Out Frank is not gonna be the last Dolph album here. I can't speak on that right now, keV. I don't know. I just know it's Paper Out Frank, the album out right now. It's all I That's all I know. That's all I

wanna speak on right now. Like who you know who knows Dumb and Dumber? Three in the camp who knows what. I'm pretty sure being Glock talked about it, he said it wasn't the can. I'm pretty sure that's is that already out in the here, but you there, he was there. I don't know, like I don't, I don't know you got the glock about a dumb and Dumber three. I just know paper out Frank. The album Young Dogs out

right now is going crazy. So if people want to go to the museum or they want to see if it's coming, like are you guys updating it on a website or is it just on the p R E I G. Or like where can people see if it's if it's on the way from most definitely stay tapped in on Youngdolph dot com for dates and times and in tickets. You can also keep up with Doff's Instagram as the state is running its profile, you know, pay so he'll keep everything updated as far as as far

as that goes. But yeah, man, we just have really just having fun with it, like I don't nobody never even did this before, Like it's new, it's new, true, especially just like paying homage too, you know it it gives fans uh an opportunity to you know still be a part of Dolph after he's not here, you know what I mean, Because it's like, man, the album's out, It's like damn, I can't go see him live. You know,

there's like that that that element's missing. So it's good to know that fans can still go support the family, support Dolf and still get it kind of a piece of them and get a look behind the curtain. Yeah, Mom was definitely like, pull up and we're having a good time. Man, were having a good time each and every time, like we not. We ain't on no sad shit or not.
