Somehow you got lost in Arizona. His name is Dubie. What's up? Man? Still trying to figure out how I got here? Me too. I know you, and I'm like, how do you get this far without getting canceled? Or I might have. I might still be canceled and just not know about it. You might not
know it, dude, what's up man? You know what's going on with you? New music been dropping, A couple of new singles are out, Yeah, new label situation, Oh that good jazz? A lot going on? How you feeling? Same shit? Different toilet nice? Really is like just getting back to it. You know, COVID at everybody like on this hiatus? Did you uh? Did you catch COVID? You know it's crazy. I think I did, But it was never like I had to be on bed rest or anything like that.
I just lost. Did you ever get Oh yeah, then you got it. It's like, yeah, definitely, definitely. How's the sober train going? You're still I don't do hard drugs. I mean it was my gist of I'm specifically meaning are you still off the ya? Yo? Yeah, for sure, good job, good job. But almost three years, it'll be that's big man a eighth. That's a big deal brother, which is also my son's birthday, so good reason though your son will be two or three? Three? Wow, how's
the father life going? It's normally would you say two or three is the worst year because sometimes they say they're terrible too, But I actually think three he's the really treacherous year as a father. Those three is when they're really motherfuckers. It used to be it used to be like this real a lot of real cuteness. Yeah, you know, little terrorist, a little devil, aren't. Oh yeah, I still love you a lot, but damn you know you're a little devil. Definitely potty training. It's cool. I'm
just gonna say that. Have you have you had your son peu or ship on you on accident yet? Yeah? Yeah, me too? Yeah and not your son. My son did that to me when he was little man. The ship and then while you while you're trying to bathe them is the craziest ship at least, But at least that's like, that's kind of like nice, I'm already in bathing position, You're already in bathing position. Yeah, it's a little you know,
ship floating. How was the tour fifty four dates? I felt like, you guys are on tour from like, was it like July October or some ship? Was that exactly right? Look at me knowing a lot about y'all? Yeah, it was, Uh, it was actually lit as fucked. It looked like it, man, it was. It was super lit every night, like, and it'd be in the most random places. We'd be like, what the hell the line down to It would just
be crazy. I feel like last year you kind of got like right, like kind of back to where you were in terms of dropping and shooting videos doing anything. Was it nice to kind of get that reaffirmation from the fans on the road. Yeah, Because like during COVID and during the like that that time period where I was first starting to get off hard drugs and stuff, I really wasn't making no music and like there was
no inspiration there. You know, I'd be at home changing diapers with my son, you feel me, You couldn't go anywhere, So it was like the spark of creativity just wasn't there, and I was just working on myself. So you feel me to go from that to I'm here and then to be able to, you know, put music out that I've been waiting to put out, you know, and see what the reaction would be. That was. That was like awesome, Like okay, we still got it, were back in it,
you know what I'm saying. We just had to take some time off, and that's okay. You know what I'm saying. What's it like being a white artist on Black Noise? That was? That was I don't know how to answer that. I'm sure there's a there's a couple of other white artists on Black Noise. I'm just curious. So I tried to stretch shout to the guys over there, Charlie and
those guys. I'm just curious. When they announced the label name, like a few years ago, I was like, I wander if you sign a white guy, and they signed the white Guy, the White Guy, the Dude of Dudes.

and Swan's about to drop some crazy shit. So everybody's killing shit, you know, and lighting Joe and Bond are killing it on the on the on the on the flip side, on the other side, on the business tip so for you, like, uh, you've had a pretty crazy journey through music in terms of just like you're a
new artist, but you're not a new artist. You've been grinding at this ship forever yea to kind of like finally get some recognition in terms of like, because you know, I feel like me and you would talk a few years ago, and I feel like you kind of had a chip on your shoulder because you met you wouldn't get the academics is of the world or they're no jumpers of the world. And I used to tell you, like, bro, who gives a fuck, Like, don't worry about that shit.
That shit don't mean nothing, Like it'll come to you,
and I do. I felt like recently I saw when your deal got announced Doors, I just saw you on one of those blogs that we used to talk about, And so like, for you, do you feel like, uh, you know, obviously the hard work's been paying off, you're financially stables, you get to toward the country and meet your fans, and do you feel like within the industry you're finally kind of starting to get into that door where you know you're being a little bit more accepting
and acknowledged for the movement you guys you in Highlight have been building all these years. It's kind of like a ya and a type of thing, right. I feel like there's still so much that is to be told, you know, and known about. So but at the same time, we've been getting a lot of love, you know, So it's never about just the the negative part of things too. So we appreciate everything. But I do feel like it's it's still a lot of motherfuckers who need to know
who I am. Hm. Of course you know what I'm saying. But yeah, any any features on the Uh? On the Uh, the new album that's been done for two years. Honestly, there's only one feature on the whole album. And she's an amazing writer artist. Her name is Kennedy Kennedy with a with a I at the end. Check her out. She's fire. Also co writer on the song Celebrate too. Okay, so with UH Fresh as well. Shout out to Fresh.
Are you for you? Like? One thing that I loved what y'all were doing was like it felt like all your guys' artwork was kind of like uniform. For a while. You had the guy doing the illustrations and shit, h we lost I don't know where he's at. Yeah, what happened to that guy? Yeah? Where are you at? Dude?
Like we miss you. I was gonna say, like, in terms of just like the imagery the music video, I feel like you guys have always had like a very like well thought out, like purposeful way you market your shit. What is that thought process when you're going to thinking about, like, I mean, how this album's going to look, how this artwork's gonna feel like, you know what I mean. I mean I just basically like a lot of that, like
on the creative side of like how the market. It really be like highlight taking because he knows the things that I like, you feel me, So I just like I like this this and he takes it and creates the plan you know, behind it, and it's usually ten out of ten with Squared Away. You know, it's a mixture of all that and then anything that we need done to make it to execute it. You know, Joe's right there to make sure it happens. So you feel me,
it's just like it's collective. I don't know if I talked to you about this last time I saw you, but you obviously you had a big loss in your life. The homie Big Mic, Yeah, passed away during the during the pandemic. Yeah, yeah, he was very important to you. And you know you're always doing it for Big Mic, you know, keeping his memory alive. But like, how was losing somebody like him while also becoming a father? How
how is that kind of like shaped you? Man? Because you know, losing somebody that's that close to you, you know, it could motivate you, It could make you sad, depressed, it could do a lot like it. Definitely, It's like a bittersweet moment, right cause Big Mike was usually the one like if we were all in the studio together and stuff, He'll be the one like bobbing his head. Rights, I'm like, yeah, that's it. He be like that's it,
that's it, you feel me? So just remembering the moments and then the the most the worst part about it, I think was that he didn't get to meet my son before he passed. And he was just like so excited for me to be a father, cause he he was a an amazing father, you feel me. That was something that I admired about him, right, you know what I'm saying, And so I couldn't wait for my son to be worn so that he could meet him, and
you know, it didn't get to happen. But the crazy thing is, though, after that happened, I was that was mine. I'm trying to get sober off hard drugs phase and all this shit. So I'm like, I was honestly very depressed for a couple of years, you know what I'm saying.
I feel like now I'm finally getting out of that and and we back in the groove, going hard, you know what I'm saying, going out, you know, meeting people, shaking hands, getting in these parties with the places we need to get, you know, to get this music out there. Just back on that old gird, you feel me. I feel like we're back at a good place. We took our time off to grieve, and I know that he would want us to go crazy, so we gotta do it big for him too.
