00:30:39: You know what i'm saying?
00:30:40: It's like yeah.
00:30:40: I'll reach out there him first But I don't know that you're not saying he's tapped into so much That you know it's like a try to get where I came from them and then get out of here.
00:30:52: Well, that said that's his job as a DJ because also play music and all that.
00:30:57: but as hip-hop DJ especially in Hip Hop we have two break records.
00:31:01: We have to support The Hardest play the new joints, you know they're all not popping yet and we have to help the artist out as much that we can man.
00:31:10: Yeah!
00:31:11: And I played a big part man because it's like um as you know artists development... That's-that's y'know..That's a major thing for artists coming up.
00:31:20: You know there are lots of DJs who only play.
00:31:25: uh how do i say?
00:31:27: The mainstream records
00:31:29: There you go.
00:31:31: You know, they wouldn't even look our way.
00:31:33: and then it's a lot of DJs that have their hands in the plans.
00:31:38: They got green thumbs.
00:31:40: so I think to DJs who really play their part such as yourself that help build artists out there instead of...I'm only going to play my artist For sure.
00:31:55: Well, you know it's the basics of hip-hop.
00:31:58: when we think about it You know It's like yeah opening your door to new hardest and share music and elevate people too.
00:32:05: its important Yeah.
00:32:06: Yeah.
00:32:07: Yep.
00:32:08: Yeah
00:32:08: man.
00:32:09: So that's our job as DJs man.
00:32:10: And with dope artists like you The music is dope.
00:32:14: We have to play it.
00:32:14: That's out job man.
00:32:17: I appreciate that.
00:32:18: now i appreciate that sediment because all dj don't think Like they don't.
00:32:24: You know it's dope, let me play.
00:32:26: They think I'm only playing with these emails and the playlist is set up to play.
00:32:39: so its like...I am thankful for DJs K Slayers one of them too.
00:32:47: He would put it all on the line to break a new artist, you know what I'm saying?
00:32:51: So that's very near and dear to an artist such as myself.
00:32:58: You know because its like...I've been in it for awhile And i have been trying to be consistent with how I can be.
00:33:04: It is tough man.
00:33:08: The hurdles get higher and higher The further up you go.
00:33:13: Yup, yup we'll talk man.
00:33:15: And I have another mixtape added question for you but i think know the answer to this.
00:33:20: all of the real hymns.
00:33:21: they answered the same thing.
00:33:23: listen today.
00:33:24: do you miss the mixtap format?
00:33:28: The whole mixtape era is something that...I wish.. I wish I didn't lose so many iPods and you know what im saying.
00:33:40: things like.... I still have a CD book And I was just going through it, and the mixtape era for me... ...was an amazing time to be alive because we know what they're pushing.
00:33:59: But then you have what's fire bro!
00:34:04: When that piffed when a mixtapes circuit stopped It was a hurtful thing.
00:34:12: Just inspiration.
00:34:14: You know what I'm saying?
00:34:15: Because some artists, that was their bread and butter.
00:34:19: They would submit the album to The Label but then they were tore off of mixtapes in doing what they wanted to do.
00:34:27: And it's a connection with them.
00:34:30: audience It is the theme the Cassidy verse, you know?
00:34:40: Whoever and shit like that.
00:34:43: The Banks' Cassidy... You had the DMX in Cannabis era!
00:34:48: Yo bro it was just an amazing time to be alive And there were artists where they are.
00:34:56: That was our trading cards.
00:35:01: This is what got us involved with these artists because It's just like Yeah, we heard the jingle on a radio but nah that's nigga.
00:35:11: when they get all these mixtapes They really letting it all Out there.
00:35:16: You know I'm saying he put me at all on the line.
00:35:19: Lyricism had his best.
00:35:21: It was just.
00:35:22: it was top-notch shit bro you know.
00:35:24: and yeah man.
00:35:26: And then need to change the game.
00:35:28: He took down that piffin.
00:35:30: You Know did this?
00:35:31: Oh, bro.
00:35:32: Yeah No
00:35:33: The whole CD games.
00:35:36: They shut down three of my dead people counts, I remember that.
00:35:40: Yeah man it was hurtful!
00:35:43: That's something i always say when they wake up in the morning and get an email from Warner Brothers telling me you better stop uploading mixtapes on Dead People or we'll be shutting you down.
00:35:54: I said fuck that im continuing... My name is The Mixtape Attic bro Im not gonna stop for you!
00:36:01: Thanks Bro.
00:36:03: But you got to think like this though, bro.
00:36:04: Because entities like Eminem and they brought Shave for five... And they started Airwaves.
00:36:15: You would think an artist that made some bread with a investor then saying like, ah, we're gonna keep this alive!
00:36:23: At least the mix takes from them till now Kept them in you know, in rotation on the little Wayne shit You know a lot of like King Loach cause he's from Baltimore is why I say his name.
00:36:38: Do you know what I'm saying?
00:36:39: And um...you know it's a Cassidy if you will, you know Pat Pouls and A LOT OF THESE GUYS!
00:36:45: YOU KNOW WHAT I'M SAYING?
00:36:46: SIGHTGUNS!
00:36:46: I DON'T SIGHT GUN!
00:36:47: You know what i'm sayin'?
00:36:48: He's a good friend of mine.
00:36:49: but uh Yeah bro just that that era was.
00:36:53: you know Like That how they were getting their music out when mainstream shut their door.
00:36:59: and now a lot of those guys they shut the door had to reopen it because Now, They want to be park has this And then you know and shit like that.
00:37:07: So It's like.
00:37:08: This is real corny.
00:37:15: It's politics.
00:37:16: You Know its.
00:37:17: Because Of Business.
00:37:19: We were playing tracks.
00:37:20: The labels didn't get Their Money.
00:37:22: That's why we're on our heads.
00:37:25: It is what it is
00:37:26: crazy man.
00:37:27: Yeah, I miss that though.
00:37:28: I missed that era bro.
00:37:30: I'm missing.
00:37:31: yeah Do you think he
00:37:32: gave me?
00:37:32: get a lot of my shit from there?
00:37:34: Get a lot off my style when either my pizzazz they comes from it comes from raw hip hop to You know the unducked unapologetic
00:37:45: Yep
00:37:46: shit roll like all right i'ma do the track no matter What Like No Matter how you feel about it There's people over there that fuck with that.
00:37:54: You know what I'm saying?
00:37:55: And, you know... I wanted to make a concrete solid name for J Royale before, y'know.. I started to try and pull the magic tricks off.
00:38:08: Y'know what i'm sayin'?
00:38:09: So it was like....I knew- I KNEW WHAT I WAS DOING WITH WHAT I WANTED TO DO!
00:38:15: AND YOU KNOW, THEN I STARTED TO.
00:38:19: You know experiment a little bit and shit like that, but um yeah man I it's the core audience.
00:38:26: That i Know.
00:38:27: uh you know into that.
00:38:29: so they're like i wanted to.
00:38:31: Yeah one of the please my audience did i came in
00:38:34: with?
00:38:34: And you were as an artist Like as a hip-hop artist when that dead pfhera Stopped.
00:38:41: like how Did you manage To?
00:38:43: you know i keep your career going and still drop music like.
00:38:46: what did you do back then?
00:38:48: Well, um yo I was always that artist that would search tie and loathe for the shit That i like.
00:38:56: you know.
00:38:56: I remember The Vinnie Paz.
00:38:58: this was.
00:39:00: You had to go in let the delving deep to find side B's And you know i'm saying shit Like dad.
00:39:06: then Um You Know the mortal techniques and pat pooses you know what im sayin.
00:39:12: so it Was like I've Always When It Came To Hip Hop was always looking for the needle in a haystack.
00:39:19: You know what I'm saying?
00:39:20: I was always lookin' for that guy, you wouldn't hear about six months until after i found him because it's like having a rookie card so to speak above your favorite athlete and... It would be to me of being scouting.
00:39:45: I'm happy that.
00:39:46: uh, i did it.
00:39:46: That way and You know It was that important because that's really how we went about you?
00:39:52: Know um We kept that formula on looking for Features in and really working our features And and how to you don't navigate through.
00:40:01: you know creating these feature deals Because of you know, we will have a look at certain shit.
00:40:08: who is working?
00:40:11: Who's busy?
00:40:12: whose buzzing?
00:40:13: you know who we might be able to just get in contact with, that all played a part.
00:40:19: You know what I'm saying?
00:40:20: And the price is fluctuating.
00:40:25: asking prices and if it matches with the buzz... The respect level, the respect is there for all of my features but.. We caught couple of features prior Getting over that hump, if you will.
00:40:47: That was part of that.
00:40:48: so it's like...that always took me back to how I look for what I would be listening too Like okay?
00:40:59: That's dope but i know y'all haven't heard in a long time.
00:41:02: I remember G-Unit Was A novelty!
00:41:05: It was just a fifty cent thing and they're just like oh shit Who's that other guy?
00:41:10: And then, you know before they became these big entities.
00:41:14: You know like Banks and Yeyo and so on and so forth.
00:41:18: They was just that dope verse on certain mixtapes.
00:41:23: So yeah the mixtape is kind of Like.
00:41:29: it's like The foundation to some Of this because you might Know what artist but that artist catalog might be way bigger than the artists now because it's like Now to this only stream and then they have to pull certain strings cuz so certain mixtapes was over beats That you know sample clearances, and so on and so forth.
00:41:52: but They couldn't put back in the street.
00:41:54: You know And yeah It was more difficult.
00:41:57: So yeah Yeah
00:41:58: can we expect?
00:41:59: Like maybe uh some type of mixtape or compilation from you and for example, DJ Grasshopper.
00:42:25: Was it mixed tapes?
00:42:31: No.
00:42:31: I forget what it was, man.
00:42:40: It slips my so far back into the archives.
00:42:44: but that's how i started as well.
00:42:46: you know i started dropping the crown royale mixtape and then i dropped they um...it was a joint called The Declan And That was Mixtape-esque material because had a beat or two you know, um industry beats.
00:43:06: You know what I'm saying?
00:43:07: But it was like two or three joints.
00:43:10: and then when the transition happened yeah i was there for all that!
00:43:15: Then...you know..I had to redo the joint re-drop deliverance over original pieces And we resubmitted uh the decline.

00:44:49: just did the woes to the creator with my young man Anibu Beats, real young talent.
00:44:57: You know what I'm saying?
00:44:58: I've been trying to kind of like sidestep all the fame and you know that the popping producers... And i just been trying work with hungry produces because y'know I tried my best.
00:45:14: go out there make a name for myself.
00:45:17: I got to maintain a level of dope and not that they are not dope.
00:45:21: It was just, it's just certain popular.
00:45:24: the more popular crowd have a line out the door.
00:45:28: you know artists don't want to work with them man They look at like all right.
00:45:32: well this is my way into the game.
00:45:35: And y'know i didn't wanna take that road.
00:45:38: You know im an underdog.
00:45:39: I'm gonna work with underdogs.
00:45:43: I've been working with um, you know an evil Pete twist.
00:45:53: You know what i'm saying?
00:45:54: Um my fan Ray Sosa, you Know uh crown you know, uh Beetlejuice ,you know...I've been-I've Been..You know....I've Be working.
00:46:05: and right now those are the creators out everywhere And all of the dope teachers on.
00:46:13: there was a fire project Real Liverpool real boom bad shit.
00:46:18: You know what I'm saying?
00:46:19: And right now, we got this next joint with Twistz.
00:46:23: We're putting that together by your shit and then like i say... everybody on there is just different producers one day but the people kept asking for a fully produced.
00:46:39: so it's always like that's all imma.
00:46:41: do Imma sit down with his kid and play chess?
00:46:45: You know, I'm here.
00:46:46: Imma hear him out and i want him to hit me out.
00:46:49: And um yeah man We just we took a spin in.
00:46:51: uh i'm about To put some deluxe shit out with.
00:46:56: and um i've been working close.
00:46:57: you Know what the fam?
00:46:59: You know i'm saying.
00:46:59: then of course You know.
00:47:01: Um Yeah That's what i've Been doing bro.
00:47:05: I bet i'll be doing that shit.
00:47:07: You're
00:47:07: being working man.
00:47:08: It is good because people are going back.
00:47:11: Authentic music, you know they want that authenticity in hip-hop.
00:47:16: Yeah of the bullshit and like you say no working on our Like a fully produced album.
00:47:21: It's becoming good to do that again.
00:47:23: You don't because we've seen there are with ten different
00:47:25: producers.
00:47:27: And now I think yeah if your notice and you work with one producer you can actually like push them The boundaries of your creativity?
00:47:36: Yeah Exactly, you're not saying it.
00:47:38: um and this is great way to push sound out there because you know, some producers are cut from different claws.
00:47:47: You know what I'm saying?
00:47:47: It's okay as a producer like i got a little bit of everything.
00:47:55: but when you hone in on that no this is your sound.
00:47:59: if it's along the lines of a primo war The ninth wonder type sound.
00:48:08: everybody has their niche to bring out, you know the different qualities of certain producers is always super duper dope.
00:48:19: But sometimes I would spin a bin and just feed the algorithm or just to feed the streets.
00:48:27: it's like compilation yo this whole squad ah!
00:48:31: And go bozzini over shit.
00:48:34: so people could know that we've been in there some throwaway joints that might not mean the world to us.
00:48:43: But it might be like, oh shit why would y'all get rid of that?
00:48:45: Or why didn't that make the cut?
00:48:47: or you know certain shit like that.
00:48:49: so I still have a series called The Collab Work Series and there's just fun tracks that I reach out with artists that I respect And side missions while i'm putting together the creme de la creme shit.
00:49:09: You know, I still got some side missions that you know they might sound good gray to singles and you know their artists is over there doing what they do with it.
00:49:19: just make a cut and say all right let's work with him y'know?
00:49:24: And just like that yeah i try to have a lot of fun in this studio.
00:49:29: we've got
00:49:31: you

00:50:07: The social media post guy or I can be... ...the voice of something.
00:50:12: you know what i'm saying?

00:51:16: And there were just like yo' people- I will do the features and people are like nah we want to hear more from you.
00:51:23: People wanna hear more From you slowly but surely.
00:51:26: It's like..I did in my time.
00:51:28: So its just like.
00:51:31: You know, I started honing in on.
00:51:32: okay well if you want to hit more of me that means i had to figure out how to put together a great body of work.
00:51:40: uh cohesive body of works.
00:51:42: So it's just like...I climbed each rung up the ladder meticulously.
00:51:49: Y'know?
00:51:49: I didn't wanna jump out there and say alright we'll fuck all the features y'know?
00:51:53: or alright hey its the J-Royal show!
00:51:58: A lot of people, at one point in time where features and all that was against the rules.
00:52:09: To me I wasn't a household name.
00:52:12: so if i were to drop you know thirty tracks of just me... ...I'd be rapping to a brick wall or I'll be wrapping up my close friends who believed in me.
00:52:24: You know what im saying?
00:52:24: And when Im from it's like the shows scene.
00:52:29: You know, it's just one rapper rapping to a bunch of rappers.
00:52:34: And everybody will walk away saying I'm nicer than him and he is not as good at these things.
00:52:40: when you put in the channels and try to develop an audience there are people this something for everyone on social media.
00:52:53: they're somebody selling everything.
00:52:56: You know what I'm saying?
00:52:57: Even Pez dispensers have a community that's loyal to it.
00:53:02: So, if you're selling lyrics... ...I'm not gonna bring saying to the beat.
00:53:11: I'm just going to go through a bunch of rappers and sell.
00:53:16: then i'm nicer than you because then there are two motherfuckers.
00:53:21: all you ain't nicer than me nigga.
00:53:22: let's back off and then the fighting turns into this.
00:53:28: It's ongoing with rap beef, it is just like bro.
00:53:32: let me figure out how to develop a audience that supports what I do?
00:53:40: And its just like performing live bruh but didn't have to tell you if you had one person nodding their head to your shit.
00:53:49: You
00:53:49: rapped to that person And that person is gonna turn into two people.
00:53:54: It's going to turn in the four people, you know what I'm saying?
00:53:56: Exactly
00:53:57: bro!
00:53:57: That's how i look at trying to get your music going.

00:54:19: Yo, tell her friend and tell her friends.
00:54:21: two supporters turning the four supporters that turn in at eight?
00:54:26: And then when they hear you know who's this guy to just rap next to my favorite
00:54:32: artist at the moment because he
00:54:33: sounds pretty damn good!
00:54:34: Like you say it don't make no sense to promote your music only to all their fellow rappers.
00:54:39: You're not saying like... Just like you said bro..you gotta build your fan base.
00:54:43: So, you know think about like.
