00:28:47: You know, I like Europe better but i love Boston.

00:28:57: man So everyone for you?
00:29:02: Do
00:29:02: you miss the mixtapes format?
00:29:07: Yeah yeah...I also liked the CDs too back on the day.
00:29:12: It's easier.
00:29:13: VINOS are so much work You know, we have to send it out for pressing.
00:29:17: I like the longevity of the vinyl.
00:29:19: Like a vinyl's forever vinyl special.
00:29:21: like a vinyl vinyl is like you Know everyone no one's gonna throw all the vinyl.
00:29:25: you're saying you'll end up in a yacht eel?
00:29:27: I don't.
00:29:27: if you got that you have them Europe.
00:29:29: But you know like a yacht deal where people sell stuff from their crib outside.
00:29:32: and um That's a big thing in America so especially Boston.
00:29:36: but um mom i would always find records People will be selling at Yacht Seals, you know?
00:29:40: So but I miss the mixtape.
00:29:43: But now what i like about getting away from The Mixtape ever... ...the only thing that I like is my music Everything we sell.
00:29:53: You Know when I do the mixtures We would give it a way.
00:29:55: And and thats dope because digital's like giving away.
00:29:58: so Like..I get It!
00:29:59: That's the same idea I do like now that hey, everything we put out.
00:30:04: Hey We sell it you know saying cuz It's not like a commercial beat or anything.
00:30:08: so but i miss That ever where?
00:30:10: You Know we I missed those Joe butter mixed apes the fifty cent mixtapes.
00:30:14: You know still till to this day some of The best music thats come up for.
00:30:19: you know street rap.
00:30:21: you know what i mean not an unadulterated Unfiltered real hip-hop.
00:30:25: then what they're labeled didn't have influence on you feel me.
00:30:29: Yeah, man I think Harley said more freedom bike then because you could use any type of beats even like R&B stuff.
00:30:35: You know
00:30:35: whatever and yes And you can do it?
00:30:39: Then you can put out when you want.
00:30:41: There's no holding back there's a hold in your bag.
00:30:44: You just put it on the streets.
00:30:47: The last time an artist was everyone went to the store and bought a CD.
00:30:52: The Last Time was get rich or die trying.
00:30:55: that was the last one where people went bought a physical album.
00:30:58: you know I mean like.
00:30:59: there's been big rappers now and it's not the same though as that last album do you don't try to say?
00:31:07: Like so, And That was created from The mixtape era fifty cent.
00:31:11: All of the buzzed from his mixtapes is what created that.
00:31:16: You Know.
00:31:16: Yeah cause There Was A Time People Had To Do A Mixtape Before The Album.
00:31:22: Almost Every Rapper Man.
00:31:24: I have a bunch of mixtapes, like all old CDs that aren't even on the internet.

00:35:13: So that was dope.
00:35:15: They should have been my beat.
00:35:17: And if we think about songs Just for example, and it's not like a per se mixtape.

00:36:39: Thanks.
00:36:40: Yeah Man let's go back in time
00:36:43: bro.
00:36:44: Like, what made you want to start your career like a professional?
00:36:51: I always loved making music.
00:36:52: And then once we started performing in college and they had budgets for us to perform it's starting becoming more serious.
00:37:02: Hey people wanna hear our music and buy our music.
00:37:06: That was when...I really have to take it little bit more seriously.
00:37:10: That's when we always aimed to have it.
00:37:15: high quality, you know concepts and caring about great mixes.
00:37:21: But like each year started increasing because we had more ears or eyes on us And I felt just integrity for myself.
00:37:32: if do something let's do right.
00:37:34: You feel me?
00:37:36: So yeah early-on If I was gonna do something and if you know it represented me, i wanted to be right.
00:37:45: Yeah for sure gotta be true to yourself man
00:37:48: yeah uh
00:37:50: yeah.
00:37:50: And where did you get that entrepreneurial mentality?
00:37:53: because people man?
00:37:54: I don't know they no doubt about you But you pretty much do a lot of your self.
00:37:58: like you book your own shows You take care everything Your promotion ya'know you're happy I think.
00:38:04: maybe also mixing.
00:38:05: master your shit.
00:38:06: Yeah, yeah.
00:38:08: So it's you know Man like in over the years I've tried to You Know some of this stuff Delegate because you know It becomes if it comes like.
00:38:20: i want To give other things more energy?
00:38:23: You know.
00:38:23: so Like I don't mix everything that I used to.
00:38:26: I definitely don't master everything anymore, you know?
00:38:29: But the hustle and mentality is from my parents.
00:38:32: You know they're hard workers that blue collar hottest working people i've ever met.
00:38:38: And they instilled that in me My mother.
00:38:41: we didn't have Everything as a kid so my parents made sure That you Know They worked non-stop So We could even just Have A roof over our head Or Even food on The table I saw with them.
00:38:55: I applied to music, you know.
00:38:56: and also people always say You know i feel like.
00:39:00: i feel Like sports was a huge part of it.
00:39:02: Sports like the discipline in sports?
00:39:04: If if u see The feeling of losing or something you work so hard for Hey!
00:39:15: If i work harder maybe i can win.
00:39:16: Do you know what im saying?
00:39:17: So like It instills that in your wear.
00:39:20: The lessons That ive learned from Sports I brought to everything else.
00:39:24: I did where wow like how good it felt.
00:39:27: so like when a championship or you know, whether It's high school or college and win Because of the work You put in its up To you.
00:39:34: if you actually putting that work Good things will happen.
00:39:37: And The feeling Of losing When?
00:39:39: You don't when you Don't get to the level you want That doesn't mean it's A failure.
00:39:42: that means is another year.

00:39:46: yeah
00:39:46: How can i be better?
00:39:48: you Know and you'll see the results.
00:39:49: If you don't Put In the Work You won't see the results and you can only get by on talent for so long.
00:39:54: Yeah, yeah because you cannot evolve in your career if you're always winning...you gotta lose sometimes to understand how the world spins man!
00:40:03: Yes like Jordan what was it Yanis said?
00:40:06: I can't take credit but you know Jordan played however many years he didn't win the championship.
00:40:10: every year..it's about evolving and getting better.
00:40:18: Scratch the surface because like we keep evolving and brother We do.
00:40:23: I do stuff, you know And i'll put something out that it might not have a ton of plays or i'll Do is show then?
00:40:28: It may Not Have A ton Of People and Then i'll You Know i'll Keep Going in That and i'll Put Something Else Out.

00:42:33: Do they make everything that they said, they were gonna Make?
00:42:35: as far As like Booking shows and booking radios do they keep all their commitments?
00:42:41: Did they always deliver On the music focus on That stuff more than The image you know And emulate that copy that copy Their path of hard work.
00:42:52: Yeah,
00:42:53: and you say the magic words a few minutes ago when we were talking about sport.

00:43:26: ask me now man Like it's less and less You know?
00:43:29: I go to Europe And I see less and Less artists able To go there because France has its own Industry of French artists that are huge Huge.
00:43:38: they don't need us.
00:43:39: Germany as their Own German artist That rap in german that Are amazing.
00:43:44: They Don't Need Us.

00:45:20: goes.
00:45:22: But not I don't speak French but like you know over the years they've taught me some words...but i want to learn more because another thing about Europe is everyone speaks more than one language and this really something that America doesn't do..that we should help your brain if you have languages For
00:45:41: sure.
00:45:42: I went to the first time of my life in Italy like two months ago and you know, The crazy thing about that is Like You stay In a country for maybe Two weeks And you start learning the language Because it's automatic.

00:51:55: I forgot about that But not really an EP or album.
00:51:58: Its kinda like A&B side.
00:52:00: I produced for him And he produced one song from me.
00:52:03: That's dope But you can be really creative and also push the boundaries of your music sometimes.
00:52:09: We do instrumental projects, y'know?
00:52:34: Stacks and stacks and stacks like sampling.
00:52:37: That's my new favorite thing is when I go to Europe Digging records in other countries, and I wish I had done this ten years ago because I've been on seventeen tours I just started doing it.
00:52:48: that's likes yo bro It's euphoric finding records another country's but I never Did.
00:52:54: I never?
00:52:55: Like everything has been sampled But like its less than last.
00:52:59: if i find a record Budapest that might have been used less in Boston, you feel me?
00:53:04: Yeah for sure.
00:53:05: It's the same feeling as being like a toy store when your kid
00:53:10: You got it!
00:53:11: And that is what I get especially now.
00:53:14: so thats another part of touring.
00:53:16: Im making my time to go to record stores and find samples
00:53:21: But its never too late man Its never true.
00:53:25: The problem is transporting at home.
00:53:28: That shit is not easy Doug.
00:53:31: I know some dudes that they put like a whole suitcase.
00:53:34: Yeah,
00:53:34: so finals man That's
00:53:37: the only option.
00:53:38: because Like i wanna you know again?
00:53:40: That's my goal to go digging that i look dude i look forward To it like he said a kid in the candy You Know toy store
00:53:47: mm-hmm.
00:53:48: and then The next step after that is being able to do beats without any samples.
00:53:54: oh yeah
00:53:55: That level
00:53:56: that's another level you know get.
00:53:59: Well, I can do them like off of like sample packs but i likes digging But I don't play instruments.
00:54:05: You're saying playing the keys and shit.
00:54:07: Yeah Some
00:54:08: simple stuff you know?
00:54:09: You don't need to be like a Mozart all bit.
00:54:11: no your right.
00:54:12: No, you write yeah, right.
00:54:14: so That's the thing I've done.
00:54:16: some beats for like TV shows in movies And I've had that.
00:54:19: have the samples really played because we couldn't do it with the records.
00:54:22: You know I'm saying there can't be something even if its obscure It's still like.
00:54:26: you can't do it if its something that was owned, right?
00:54:28: You feel me?
00:54:30: Yup for sure.
00:54:32: I make beats so i know what is and sometimes in here samples...I hear samples but they sound easy to remake.
00:54:39: So instead of sampling this shit I just replicated with the keyboard Make some producer shit man
00:54:49: We'll talk beats
00:54:52: man, that's dope.
00:54:53: Yeah yeah we can't talk about beats all night but you know we gotta leave people.
00:54:58: they're gonna get bored hearing us talking about producer shit for hours.
00:55:04: The producers will love it!
00:55:08: I agree with them.
