00:45:46: Yeah, man.

00:45:47: And talking about no motion in staying creative and all that, like how do you handle the pressure of being an artist in twenty-twenty six?

00:45:57: Like it's a lot of mental pressure.

00:45:59: Yes!

00:46:00: How do you handled all those stuff man?

00:46:02: Well I manage by being self sufficient man.

00:46:06: You know i think me being entrepreneur helps to be self efficient And I always try to extend that advice to artists.

00:46:17: Try be self-sufficient, you know?

00:46:19: There are a lot of different opportunities out there... ...that allows you to be self sufficient and if your interested in more conversation then DM me as well!

00:46:31: But I think self sufficiency is important man having things outside the music that keeps life moving forward.

00:46:39: even your favorite artist that you love today have a lot of different things going on, and thats what we have to adapt.

00:46:46: We have to be self-sufficient because if we can be self sufficient then were able run the marathon.

00:46:56: You know what I'm saying?

00:46:56: Cause its just a marathon.

00:46:57: so If your not self sufficient it makes alot more harder than running that marathon.

00:47:02: some people cant make it under those circumstances Finding a way to be self-sufficient, getting around the minds of those who are self sufficient and finding out how can I be self efficient?

00:47:16: Imam what could we talk about?

00:47:19: that you know can help me be self sufficient.

00:47:21: That's why here for them have these conversations.

00:47:24: So we're here to bring that aspect into the hip hop community.

00:47:28: Entrepreneurship, economic opportunity procurement and different things that we may not be aware of.

00:47:34: these are opportunities out there for us.

00:47:37: Contracting with city state government entities and things like that.

00:47:42: job creation you know?

00:47:44: Different thing like creating equal opportunities in different things like.

00:47:50: That's what I'm about.

00:48:14: Yeah, you know it's not everybody that can manage All that stuff man, you've been active since the nineties You know your men of culture.

00:48:24: You know about the biz and you know how to maneuver through The mechanism of absolutely music industry, you know navigating Through the shops?

00:48:34: Do I mean bro?

00:48:35: so much perhaps too much respect because it's not everybody That knows How To do things like that.

00:48:41: they got have the right mindset.

00:48:43: yeah Yeah well you know is.

00:48:45: um It's a road, man.

00:48:46: We all have a road and understand that we have to travel And...we have different experiences on the road where we travel, man The music helps us get through it You know?

00:48:57: Helps us express ourselves Even if its through frustration If you're upset about something or unhappy Or if your in love Whatever may be..We've got an opportunity To express this through Music And that's the pleasure I get.

00:49:13: It is just a freedom of expression, you know?

00:49:15: Of me being able to still be gifted enough to be talented enough on that level to be received as a dope artist.

00:49:24: You know what i'm saying?

00:49:25: So yeah man!

00:49:27: That's all about it.

00:49:28: We here at Feed The Culture

00:49:30: Yeah man and you Imam Tug like your passionate guy about hip hop culture we want to leave out Mark and hip-hop history, like what do you want to be remembered

00:49:42: for?

00:49:43: I mean i wanna remember for resilience.

00:49:46: You know being resilient And putting out timeless music Music that transcends time.

00:49:54: When people hear about me today They think of the music they made decades ago.

00:50:02: You know what I'm saying?

00:50:04: That's music that transcends time.

00:50:05: That is where i get a pleasure out of it.

00:50:07: Every new record that i make gives me an opportunity to transcend time through my music, you know and thats uh... My definition of immortality.

00:50:17: in regards to music It has been able not just have bars but have bars that transcend time.

00:50:24: Yes sir Do you consider yourself a time traveler?

00:50:28: You can say that.

00:50:31: I have stepped through many portals, man to make a lot of different things happen.

00:50:36: We could use the analogy if

00:50:38: we want.

00:50:40: It's so dope seeing people doing stuff like this and staying motivated.

00:50:45: And you in MomTug who would you work with?

00:50:49: because i know you've worked with so many legends legendary guys.

00:50:54: But do you have an artist that you'd like to work with right now in twenty-twenty

00:51:01: six?

00:51:02: You know what, off the top of my head.

00:51:06: I think me and Nas might make a dope record together on some real Queensborough stuff produced by Havoc.

00:51:17: That would be crazy for the culture.

00:51:21: And i'm open to all kinds aspects of artistry, man.

00:51:27: You know what I'm saying?

00:51:27: So you know it's from new artists to develop artists...you know i'm into it all!I don't really have a favorite that would like the work with me.

00:51:37: and just like create..You Know I could make record with anybody to be honest for sure but im not much an artist.

00:51:44: Im not locked in or tuned-in as an artist so I can make a record with anyone.

00:51:48: I think is long as chemistry.

00:51:50: good You know, you can make music with anybody.

00:51:56: Absolutely!

00:51:56: As far as being an artist and stuff like that.

00:51:58: man And making bangers That's what we like to do.

00:52:04: We don't know whats gonna be a hit A dud...we just here to make bangers And the people let us know what they like.

00:52:13: Yeah, yeah man.

00:52:14: You just never know.

00:52:15: sometimes you know that makes me think about dad.

00:52:20: No With the next episode

00:52:21: track

00:52:22: Dr.. Dre he didn't want to keep the track.

00:52:25: You know it was sounding cheesy to him or something and He didn't wait in their album and shit.

00:52:30: yet Look at what I became.

00:52:32: how

00:52:32: happens?

00:52:33: Yes exactly even on driver's seat man.

00:52:35: On a war report, you Know driving seat is one of the last records to be recorded for an album and it wound up being like number three on the project, you know what I'm saying?

00:52:44: And the streets loved it too.

00:52:45: The world loves it too.

00:52:46: so that just goes back to our point.

00:52:49: You never know... What's gonna go.

00:52:54: Do we have a secret recipe for making timeless music?

00:52:59: Hey man!

00:53:01: My secret recipe is just being in my element you know, exercising everything that I've learned on my journey.

00:53:10: You know?

00:53:10: I've learnt from many people in my journey man... ...from being a young artist until today and i still practice every thing that I have learnt And im mature with it to be the artist that I am today Very versatile very creative.
