00:27:38: today my special guest is legendary elite

00:27:41: MC man

00:27:43: world's worth in the building.

00:27:45: How are you?

00:27:46: I'm good, how're ya doing sir?

00:27:48: I am doing great.

00:27:49: thanks for asking.

00:27:51: it is a pleasure to have you here legendary lyricist.

00:27:54: The real ones know about World's Worth and i recommend that people go check out the work they did with Stoolbangers.

00:28:04: To me its no skip every track on fire.

00:28:09: We don't talk about that.

00:28:10: but first of all man, you know it's a mixed-day paddock show.

00:28:13: So I have to ask you is the tradition here.

00:28:17: Who is your all time favorite DJ?

00:28:19: Man

00:28:21: All-time favorite dj man out will probably say May had to be kicker pre Mm-hmm like they could pray and then he might have to go with SNS because I went to a lot of parties in college with sns.

00:28:39: You know what was real nice with it too?

00:28:41: We got Mr.

00:28:42: C, and you also got...you know who's really nice with DJing?

00:28:46: Vince Markey!

00:28:47: Of course man!

00:28:51: So a lot of them are not from the technical standpoint.

00:28:56: if I'm going technical standpoint then y'know i might have to go retmatic like If im getting in that way or if Im going that way with the technical scratching jay Rawls out there.

00:29:07: But like

00:29:08: from

00:29:08: my college years and party days, those were the guys right there.

00:29:14: Now yeah I tell people why especially those names you know?

00:29:17: You gotta tell for those that don't

00:29:19: know man!

00:29:20: Yeah it was really because they were able to do a party functions when i wasn in um College at that time.

00:29:28: They would come up to the parties And then some of those DJs as well.

00:29:33: we're able to make shapes with mixtapes, yeah.

00:29:37: You know as in that's what the mixtape is.

00:29:39: so and then Kit Capri you knows legendary from he showed a way that you can go from doing street DJing not only just being a DJ on radio or for artists mixed tapes but show how to make it commercial.

00:29:56: when she started getting on TV commercialized okay I can envision bigger as a DJ It really was, I started knowing Benchmark.

00:30:06: He could DJ when he started coming to my school or Westbury and throwing the parties.

00:30:11: so i didn't even know you can do that well.

00:30:13: So then over time just having them come up to the school And then see him control of functions plus i believe he was a dj before rapping if i'm right too.

00:30:23: um yeah those are The reasons why they all have different Timeframes in My life.

00:30:29: Yup, yup.

00:30:29: And those names that you say especially Kid Capri and Biz Marky are not only DJs but they do mix tapes.

00:30:39: They know how to rap They can beatbox.

00:30:43: You know it's like a full package man.

00:30:45: I remember hearing something about biz marky.

00:30:50: he had customized a pair of turntables That could play only forty fives.

00:30:56: You know, it was just like a small record player.

00:30:59: I think he was one of the few maybe the only ones to have this pair of turntables.

00:31:04: man so nice.

00:31:06: Yeah It really you know.

00:31:08: And to me at that time, you had more of the commercial guys were known.

00:31:13: Right?

00:31:13: So if I'm gonna go there every rapper kind almost had a DJ at their time.

00:31:18: so then you got DJ Jazzy Jeff and The Freshman.

00:31:21: You've got Eric B and Rock Him run DMC and Jam Mastered J. So when you started sawing Pepper and Spinderella's.

00:31:28: he started recognizing the DJ name had even been in title with the group right.

00:31:33: So, you have Gangstar and then really didn't know about Premiere till later on when people started giving premiere to DJ Credit.

00:31:40: Aimed starting doing outside production.

00:31:43: but it was just kind of built into growing up in Hip-Hop that you gave the DJ credit And those DJs were more than a backdrop playing their music.

00:31:55: Then It Was Nice When You Would See Them Do A Show Or Be Somewhere Separately Like A DJ Scratch If you see Scratch separately, once he started doing the showcases by himself and having an adjacent mask.

00:32:09: And during those soap cases we saw that seeing a lot of personality shot to DJ Cube or it's so many dynamics I could go into.

00:32:19: but really the main impact for me was going out being in college and no DJs coming to my school.

00:32:28: So shout out to those that influenced you and made you become the emcee of all.

00:32:33: now, man.

00:32:36: And the duo we're talking about is something coming back.

00:32:43: I'm really happy with it because maybe ten or fifteen years from there We had albums produced by like ten different beat makers so they have a different type of ambience.

00:32:54: sometimes was good but It felt like a compilation more than an album.

00:32:59: And now, you know we're coming back to that just one producer One DJ and one artist... ...and thats what your doing

00:33:06: with

00:33:07: two bangers man.

00:33:08: So tell the people how are you guys linked up?

00:33:10: What is the process behind all of this music that you created together?

00:33:15: Yeah my last six projects have been like that.

00:33:18: so I started with New Beginning really with my boy Donnell Smokes.

00:33:24: I did a project with Jay Soul, don't blame it on the music.

00:33:27: Then i wound up doing Our World Today With Sam Brown.

00:33:31: then I ended up doing Fragility of Life for Kells With The E and then fast forward...then..I see a beat on Twitter that stew bang is playing And im like yo.

00:33:43: let me do a rhyme to that if you dont mind.

00:33:45: He was like y'know and I told him he could keep or not Y'know?

00:33:49: I sent this to em and he was like Yo This Is Dope Let's Do A Full Album.

00:33:53: And I was like, oh wow.

00:33:54: You know this is going to be great because he already you know even though i've been rapping doing my thing at the same time.

00:34:00: it's always a question of with any artist or any athlete or anything It's like...you would like to see that artists with somebody Of this caliber right?

00:34:10: So how do got like a common with Kanye Or Common With Pete Rock?

00:34:16: Now you almost don't want to see Common with another producer despite How Great They May Be.

00:34:20: But That Hype Is There.

00:34:22: So me getting with Stu has really brought a lot more, not pressure but people looking.

00:34:29: Like okay now let's see what he can do with him.

00:34:33: and so once Stu said lets do the project it was dope because that actually helped boost my career to higher level.

00:34:41: Yeah, and it was good also because you know we are used to hearing like stew bangers with the grimy hard-hitting joints And I think by working with you We kind of went a different way Like on that chemistry record.

00:34:55: I mean i put in my top five this week Because this shit is so dope.

00:34:59: man You know its good to hear stew bangas Also trying different things more soul More melodies To his beat.

00:35:08: Did you tell him to go a different way for this album?

00:35:12: No, that's the thing right.

00:35:15: Like Stu has all these beats sitting there and they're on his YouTube page.

00:35:20: so what I did is um i just try to find beats because I know a lot of people like the grimy hard hitting dark sounding beats from Stu.

00:35:30: but if you know me and follow me i'm more of a storyteller.

00:35:34: I like beats that kind of.

00:35:35: allow me, that space to tell stories.

00:35:38: Um...I don't like anything too dark because i feel we're always trying make something out of course represents the traditional side but at the same time it can be heard on a commercial level and respected.

00:35:52: so im always trying find that balance there.

00:35:55: So what did for my second project?

00:35:57: I actually went into his first beat he ever posted in youtube and started from there.

00:36:02: Okay

00:36:02: And then I was searching Like, get your boy was there.

00:36:06: It was their one chance for the air chemistry.

00:36:11: he had put that out and it will sit in if like three weeks or something maybe a little more and I would say yo what's up with this?

00:36:17: And is just that i think sometimes people are kind of caught into aiming to get that sound from him not dark.

00:36:24: so and me I'm aiming to give you but I think can be multiple sounds, something dark.

00:36:30: so you might get like a it ain't over.

00:36:32: You know that?

00:36:33: That's grimy.

00:36:34: and then I'm looking to give records that can go far further in just more universal.

00:36:39: So those beats are there!

00:36:41: It's not like he...it is not like i am picking like trying to uh..i am not having the tell him make anything.

00:36:49: vice versa He makes them post or sends them And its just pick ones that think all gonna Do what we're doing.

00:36:59: It's because you know how to build an album.

00:37:02: You know, it's a lot of people that like you said if they work with two bangers They only gonna get the Grammy joints.

00:37:08: and I think as a hip-hop fan or just your music fans?

00:37:12: If you listen to something That similar all the time maybe ten tracks is always the same vibe you'll get tired but with you is different because, y'know how to pick?

00:37:22: Different ambience.

00:37:23: Different subjects to talk about and your different beats.

00:37:26: so that's how you build an album name.

00:37:28: How did you learn to do there?

00:37:30: Because it's not something every artist know how to do.

00:37:34: Yeah I think if yo- well also me getting with Stu brings a lot more light on my other stuff right.

00:37:41: So people can go back If u go back.

00:37:43: Fragility of life is what kills with the heat and he's super fired too, With The Beats.

00:37:48: And even all albums I've done prior previously have like songs on it that I'd be like man.

00:37:53: That's one my favorite song if you check out that song.

00:37:56: so i think I been building these projects But definitely having a name.

00:38:01: Name notoriety Is different right?

00:38:03: It's being LeBron.

00:38:05: You can be on Cleveland Cavaliers but doesn't work till you get Eric Spolstra Or you get Tyron Lou.

00:38:13: You can be LeBron, you know?

00:38:15: I feel like we all are that.

00:38:17: But if not get the right team and don't get to write coach it's just...you got talent but you may not get a chip.

00:38:24: so i felt like me getting with Stu helps me showcase my talents in championships together.

00:38:32: So over time this was one of those things where he also being around Ace, being around Master Ace you know, theme.

00:38:43: He has a lot of themes and very specific with the way he's putting stuff together.

00:38:47: that is intentioned with that.

00:38:49: so me being apart of EMC albums and then listening into them I've been on every A-SOUL album.

00:38:55: So just in general On those albums.

00:38:59: i usually come on those albums.

00:39:01: if you look all those verses their songs are telling stories And im trying to do different ways of telling those stories from disposable arts up into say goodbye.

00:39:11: you know coming with a different way to say goodbye and I'm like different languages.

00:39:15: You know, i'm always trying to push the envelope.

00:39:17: um but that's how it-that's how I look at it when I'm putting together the album.

00:39:22: I'm looking at...I'm looking that uh..and that's what is if you listen to Ace albums he got songs That'll be hardcore joint on there And then you have joints that are real universal in big records.

00:39:34: But don't sacrifice the integrity of traditional hip-hop like we love.

00:39:40: We'll talk.

00:39:41: man, are you known to be a storyteller?

00:39:43: Do you remember the day that your path was going to become a story teller instead of doing a lot of rappers or doing ego trips and stuff?

00:39:56: do you remember today when you chose follow this path

00:40:00: I did in New York like maybe around this one, I'm like seventeen or eighteen.

00:40:07: So I put on independent records with a producer named Matt Fingers and Matt Fingers would pretty much pay a lot of us artists back then to get on records and put independent records out.

00:40:21: at one point just hearing the backpack titles and you know underground titles And i learned that people have their most longevity were storytellers.

00:40:30: so What I started doing intentionally would actually start changing my, instead of bragging verse.

00:40:38: Every time I would feature every verse will be a story.

00:40:41: I just changed it.

00:40:43: so anytime everybody else is rhyming and I would always do verse with Story to get that.

00:40:48: you know stop getting the hook out there up doing this.

00:40:50: So if we listen too A lot features are starting.

00:40:54: at certain point i just thought everything was a story.

00:40:57: Everything became story And thats helped me.

00:40:59: um So then when I released my first album and in double XL, they gave me an XL for that.

00:41:06: And they stamped me as a storyteller.

00:41:08: That's what i wanted to get!

00:41:12: Once I got there it was like okay...I found my niche because It is hard people would escape that point of line like um...jokey you know laughing at the time with backpacking stuff Essence.

00:41:27: but like I knew that wasn't gonna last.

00:41:29: so I switched up on a lot of those features.

00:41:32: Oh, yeah But it's so dope what you're doing and you know at least like me You know when i was younger?

00:41:36: No used to like more Like the ego trip through the jokes And all that.

00:41:39: but as you get older or do you want to hear stories?

00:41:42: Do we have some deep stuff?

00:41:44: your name you wanna

00:41:44: here.

00:41:45: world plays references, you Know I think that's the power of your music man.

00:41:53: I was about to ask you like, what is the recipe to longevity?

00:41:58: Because you've been doing this shit for a while and still find inspiration.

00:42:02: You got strength to go hard Find some good stories to tell.

00:42:06: What's the recipe

00:42:07: team?

00:42:09: It will always start with beats.

00:42:13: Once you hear a certain beat give you a certain image in your mind, right?

00:42:19: Or a certain vibe.

00:42:21: And then after the beat is also about what's the story and scene that you're trying to paint or what movie or where can we see this beat at?

00:42:32: because it tells us kind of what they are doing with their go.

00:42:36: After that comes the essence.

00:42:39: being an MC Right?

00:42:46: No matter what, even DJing everything that's hip hop.

00:42:49: That is like trying to be the best at it.

00:42:51: so I'm always thinking of keeping a competitive edge right.

00:42:57: and then also my thought is say for instance if you just read my rhyme and said Is It Just As Incredible Without The Beat?

00:43:09: And That's What Allows Me.

00:43:10: So Has To Be Good With The Beat First Then Without The beat has to be just as powerful.

00:43:16: Yup, yup.

00:43:17: You know some rhymes man acapella.

00:43:19: this sounds so dope man.

00:43:20: I remember hearing some Rackim shit Even with no beat behind.

00:43:24: it's so powerful because he knows how to use the words.

00:43:27: you Know

00:43:28: yeah

00:43:29: Yeah Man and i know you have a special relationship With Europe you now i'm out there in France And you work with A lot of Beatmakers from Europe.

00:43:37: So what's your Relationship?

00:43:39: You know with The hardest and Beatmakers From Out There?

00:43:44: Um, really man like a first time coming to Europe was hip hop resistance.

00:43:48: I was like they were the first people that had really started you know.

00:43:53: I started to meet out there and come in out there doing shows with them And then... You know..I get beats from people from France but i don't always know if it's from France.

00:44:06: To be honest, I don't because i'm not asking necessarily if you're from France.

00:44:10: You know the way I started learning that produces from France and out there is just in their bio to have a flag now right?

00:44:24: Right!

00:44:29: If it comes out within a certain time, then I know.

00:44:32: But...I don't necessarily know but It really was one of the last times- I mean we're coming out there too doing a tour that was done with me and Craig G out there who's promoting a freestyle movie That movie Freestyle Arturon.

00:44:48: And they come in out there with Ace several times Of course!

00:44:50: But yeah always comin' out theres always been dope to come out there.

00:44:55: I'm always down to get on the beats with anybody from France.

00:44:58: As long as it's something that i feel, um... It's gonna have some longevity.

00:45:05: listen too.

00:45:06: so im not looking for.

00:45:07: uh.. You know?

00:45:10: I like the true stuff that could be having some longevity.

00:45:14: I do realize sometimes The impact you had You know, on the audience worldwide and not only in

00:45:20: U.S.,

00:45:20: because you influenced a lot of emcees Even some emcee that don't really speak English like that.

00:45:26: But just to do the rhyme pattern The energy they put into your rap.

00:45:31: Do you realize sometimes That you've influenced A lot of lyricists In whole fucking world bro?

00:45:42: I really don't think about it.

00:45:46: I just put it out and then let go from there.

00:45:48: And if people tell me, so like the one chance record... People DMing about The One Chance Record.

00:45:56: Like what is that about?

00:45:57: Man we need you to write that.

00:46:00: Picking That Beat right So thats a beat.

00:46:02: Thats when those songs that people probably wouldn't pick From Mr.

00:46:06: Doopatch.

00:46:06: But im like y'all crazy.

00:46:08: this is big of a record Emotional record.

00:46:12: That's actually punchlines favorite record on there.

00:46:14: and then this like other people that I got DMs the other day hitting me about that record But I just do the songs.

00:46:21: And then when people contact me, then i might know but Like I don't necessarily Know right in there?

00:46:28: I just know what I want to say.

00:46:30: Yeah Think it's gonna be impactful.

00:46:34: So you work with your instinct

00:46:35: a lot.

00:46:37: yeah my first thing is Is this beat going to resonate?

00:46:42: And then after that, what am I talking about on it?

00:46:46: That I think could be studied too.

00:46:49: Right because now hip hop and stuff has gone to a point where you can teach in class and do workshops.

00:46:58: It's become educational.

00:46:59: so i have make sure there is also something thats can read poetically.

00:47:04: So im learning that too.

00:47:05: Am I writing stuff that could take off the bookshelf?

00:47:09: just as poetry You know, it starts from the beat but its really more so making sure that there's like a literary timelessness with it and thats the most important part of it.

00:47:21: Its just trying to make sure that has timelessness for what I'm writing.

00:47:25: Yup yup for sure when you become legendary then put in your bio rapper slash poet.

00:47:34: And teaching this is something that should do.

00:47:37: tell other people What you're doing with that, you know?

00:47:40: With the young generation man.

00:47:42: Yeah so currently I got two books out about what words are worth valuing ones.

00:47:46: So that breaks me breaking down my rhymes.

00:47:48: Then i also have a children's book called socks About where do socks go when we lose them.

00:47:55: And then currently teach hip hop origins at night on Monday and Wednesdays And i'll also teach all of poetry Started this semester.

00:48:05: so im in my sixth week actually Nice.

00:48:08: That's nighttime and that is on the university level.

00:48:11: so thats with adults, young adults.

00:48:13: And then in a day time I teach TV film or music production.

00:48:19: Then I have a residency A six week residency starting February twenty eight About songwriting workshops Not even song writing Writing.

00:48:28: So imma teach you how to write poetry Songs Scripts Everything just everything.

00:48:33: And currently i have On The University of Miami website Organized rhyme.

00:48:38: It's a course that you can just pay for it.

00:48:41: and then I come on the screen And i teach you how to write.

00:48:44: so is this trying?

00:48:45: To focus on everything like we're writing Like, how they get good at writings?

00:48:50: This is so dope man.

00:48:51: You know that things like that are bigger than having a hit record or something like that.

00:48:57: It's satisfying as an artist to be able to teach the generation in universities, workshops.

00:49:04: You know it is so dope man!

00:49:05: Much respect for you doing that because I think this is one of the most beautiful things a artist can do especially hip-hop artists being taken seriously by other teachers and university schools... So dope When did your start?

00:49:21: What made you want to do that?

00:49:24: Um, really like it started when I first started teaching.

00:49:27: First right?

00:49:28: So i'm teaching like TV film and music.

00:49:31: And then um...I started seeing other teachers having like Other degrees and I was Like okay..i need to get something else To kind of solidify the future.

00:49:42: so Then I went in got a Master's in Music Business said that I Was Okay because with That then When I want to do Teaching about writing and music business, now I could be taken seriously because it only goes up to a certain point that people will let you just kind of teach without the credentials.

00:50:01: You know?

00:50:03: A big reputation but at the end of day they have a boss above them That they had to sell their idea too And then that boys has somebody above.

00:50:13: So from there i started doing white workshops like writing workshop in studio.

00:50:21: it worked out because I would charge.

00:50:24: It was easy client base, right?

00:50:26: Because i worked with a studio collaborated with them to teach in the studio and they already have clients come into pay for the studio so that clients will actually paid for my class at the same time.

00:50:37: nice.

00:50:38: then I was like okay!

00:50:40: I did one...it went well..so than became the understanding of where want go Further with this.

00:50:46: Okay, I want to teach people how to write and it was just giving my techniques in kind of like My secrets out

00:50:51: what i do And where?

00:50:53: Where do you start Like when you teach writing like How do you stop the class?

00:51:00: um The first thing i'd start With is like a prompt Of like.

00:51:04: i might choose A word i might say um sports jersey And then Yeah like that.

00:51:12: and Then i would Just Say write everything you know about a sports jersey, right?

00:51:19: And then we build it from there.

00:51:21: It's kind of like extracting the best out of it so that I take everything and just kinda like okay... So you might write twenty things.

00:51:30: this person may write twenty thing this person might ten five forty things.

00:51:35: Then through that they're not to dissect what is most valuable stuff That part in writing process trying figureout what's the most valuable, right?

00:51:43: Because we're riding in sixteen bar increments.

00:51:46: but there is so much more to say.

00:51:49: Even if you rap for three minutes four-minutes You still leaving something out.

00:51:54: So it really about getting into a point that your able kind of start somewhere.

00:51:59: Then I can start showing how to find best and then you start learning different techniques And then its almost sometimes figuring out If less is more And then sometimes you need more than what you have.

00:52:16: It's really a balance, but I can show your way that... ...you could understand the practical ways of doing it and after that is going to be on you because we're all different.

00:52:25: so pretty much taking that tool in figuring out how do apply yourself.

00:52:32: That's so dope man!

00:52:32: Much respect for you guys especially now era in twenty-twenty six where everything is digital.

00:52:39: people don't even read books sometimes which is sad and you know, your here to keep the thing going man.

00:52:46: Keep legacy alive inform those people be better persons.

00:52:50: so that's dope man.

00:52:53: You already know man talking about a new generation like what advice would u give young MCs?

00:53:00: or maybe listening right now?

00:53:04: I think you gotta find your purpose.

00:53:07: once you find it then if that's your purpose, then you run with it from there.

00:53:12: Because not every kid but we may want them to have a message and all this stuff into their raps or whatever.

00:53:19: That is just not gonna be the same thing.

00:53:23: when we came up You had the party MCs like an MC Hammer.

00:53:26: Then you would rock him.

00:53:28: So its not going.

00:53:30: everybody will do the same intent.

00:53:31: It just isn't.

00:53:32: so you have to accept that first.

00:53:34: Once you accept your vibe Just kinda Do what u can Be at best of whats u can But also Be very observant and be very aware of your messaging.

00:53:44: I think that's the key to it, right?

00:53:47: But also we have to have grace for them because i'm sure there are some rhymes that I wrote that I've been like.

00:53:51: oh man!

00:53:51: That rhyme is terrible...I am nothing like that now

00:53:54: Right?!

00:53:55: So We Have To Be That Same Thing And Have Grace With Them but Also Let Them Explore.

00:54:00: I would say try every style.

00:54:03: Try Every Style In Genre too.

00:54:05: Try Every Genre.

00:54:06: You know country whatever Latin, whatever gospel.

00:54:09: Whatever try everything you Know because when we were well I don't how old y'all but me and you know of all the.

00:54:16: we know All history.

00:54:17: But you know earlier coming up he was like shunned.

00:54:21: they even tried a different style.

00:54:24: If you're trying to different style it's like yo.

00:54:26: what are you doing?

00:54:28: You can't even try nothing, you know.

00:54:31: It was like You got put into a box.

00:54:34: So now it's the best thing.

00:54:35: this is the best time because you can make whatever and There's somebody out there that'll check it up.

00:54:41: No, you can explore different genres And maybe you will be A better Latin artist than your rapper?

00:54:47: I know you never know man like.

00:54:49: yeah It's what it is but she have to be able To take risk at no harm.

00:54:55: Yeah Because we weren't allowed to take too many risks back then because You got signed to a record label, and if that didn't work you get dropped.

00:55:03: So then... Then you had artists out there were afraid of taking risks because the record labels controlled their destiny Because they're the ones putting the record out.

00:55:11: so either make this pop-record or you drop from the label.

00:55:17: Now your trying find these balances And it was some people who found those balances.

00:55:22: I remember like when Gangstar did the record with Joe Desi With Casey & Joe.

00:55:28: They had the singing part where they have to scratch and like, it was able find that niche.

00:55:32: That you'd be like oh I can mess with this but ya know your always trying to find that balance.

00:55:37: And um...I think when you stop searching for a balance or you shun other styles in all of that You stopped growing and becoming big artist.

00:55:47: I

00:55:47: think that's what being a Hottest is, you know we're always evolving.

00:55:51: Yesterday i was talking to one of my partners out there from the mixtape addicts and he was mad at Snoop & Dre album Missionary because they wanted some old school G-Funk from Snoop&Dreah.

00:56:03: Man!

00:56:03: They are evolving...they are fifty years old now.

00:56:06: it will not be like back when they were eighteen.

00:56:09: they won't talk about same subjects or do the same music.

00:56:13: It really is life man.

00:56:16: We are evolving man.

00:56:20: I know you got to project with Stubankers, people that gotta check this one out.

00:56:24: but what else do we have for twenty-twenty six and beyond?

00:56:27: Tell the people before we finish this session.

00:56:30: Yeah well currently right now you've got the... Checkout The Mask Of Monverse that i did on Afro album On the Afro & Stubanks Album.

00:56:39: Good Bad, good too.

00:56:42: That really set off my year, to get me against some of the eyes and ears right now.

00:56:49: And then after that I dropped The Quick Routes EP with Naps & Dreads.

00:56:52: so check it out!

00:56:53: That album is out right now...that's dropped in November.

00:56:56: Now we've got the Stu Banger's Album Chemistry and currently working on our album is Me Afro and Stu Bangers have an album together.

00:57:04: We're just trying to like, hey we all working together separately.

00:57:11: Let's get together and do a

00:57:12: project.".

00:57:13: So that one of the next projects there And then hopefully be able make another maybe towards the end of year or early next year again drop another Stubanger album.

00:57:24: so I'm working on it as well.

00:57:26: started with that You might get...so far we got a Punch In Words Stubangers Album Because me and Punchline never did a whole album together.

00:57:40: Okay, that's going to be

00:57:43: so dope?

00:57:43: Yeah!

00:57:44: So we started with that.

00:57:46: And

00:57:47: then... That was kind of.

00:57:48: where were are you know?

00:57:49: but looking for more like another book or two out and just really figuring it out You know For instance my mindset is traveling.

00:58:04: if I come to France and come over there.

00:58:07: You know, get hired to do some writing workshops on top of panels in a show so like kinda showing the evolution of me If you bring me over for that...I wanna just do everything!

00:58:19: The writing workshop and day time.

00:58:22: That's my uh my longs reminding me which i get up for this stuff too.

00:58:30: but So that's what I was just saying, like... ...I want to do workshops now.

00:58:37: If i come out there- I would prefer to showcase some of that style and help some of the writers over

00:58:44: here.

00:58:44: Yeah man!

00:58:45: Just show people you can do a lot different things.

00:58:49: your men have many hats ya know?

00:58:51: That is kind my mindset.

00:58:54: with everything then.. I wrote a musical too.

00:58:59: thats sitting in it but it'll eventually come out throughout time.

00:59:05: But there's a lot of different things, but you know first thing is the music done in videos.

00:59:11: The next video that will be dropping hopefully in few weeks It would be the Strangers record.

00:59:19: So me Sage Francis and Recognize
