00:22:15: What's up?

00:22:16: What's up?

00:22:17: How you doing, man?

00:22:18: You already know what

00:22:18: it is, man.

00:22:19: You already know what it is, man.

00:22:22: Good shit, good shit.

00:22:23: You know, we here, man.

00:22:24: We connecting the dots like we always do, from France to the US.

00:22:29: And you know, we don't we don't talk about what you do, but man, you know, it's mixtape addict.

00:22:33: So, you know the tradition.

00:22:34: I have to ask you, bro Who's your all-time favorite DJ?

00:22:39: young Amsterdam?

00:22:42: Our all-time favorite DJ is Rest in Peace DJ K Slay.

00:22:52: And Rest in Peace Now DJ Big Cat

00:22:56: Yep.

00:22:57: Yep.

00:22:57: Yep.

00:22:58: Yeah, man.

00:22:59: Tell the people tell the people why especially those two

00:23:03: because they always rooted for the underdogs,

00:23:07: no matter what.

00:23:07: That

00:23:08: was their whole system rooting for the underdogs.

00:23:13: Yes, sir.

00:23:14: Is that something that you're doing as well, like you've been inspired by those guys to keep the culture going and also show love to the underdogs out there?

00:23:25: Of course, of course, of course.

00:23:27: That's the whole premise and basis of how I

00:23:33: operate my system.

00:23:33: But yeah, man, we're gonna talk about what you did for the culture because not a lot of people know about the great things that you did as an A&R.

00:23:43: Also, kind of like a mixtape DJ, like we said, you always show love to the underdogs, always putting artists on the map when you have the possibility to do it.

00:23:52: So for those that don't know you, how could you introduce yourself?

00:23:56: Well, for those who don't know me, you could introduce me.

00:24:01: I will introduce myself as, you say, a dot connector.

00:24:11: Well, basically, you use the organic core.

00:24:16: I try to base myself as the organic

00:24:18: core.

00:24:19: Organic meaning of original state, of what it is, meaning that I basically deal with things on a... on a level platform.

00:24:36: you know there's no additives there's no fillers to.

00:24:39: it is what you see is what you get that's organic.

00:24:43: so um i will introduce myself as that and also introduce myself as someone who who just keeps it authentic what you like you said what you see is what you get.

00:25:00: yep yep Always been doing it authentic stuff, man.

00:25:05: And for the people, man, maybe they don't know, but we got a long story together that started in, you know, like, thirteen years, almost fourteen years ago.

00:25:19: Originally, I have a long story, so I'm gonna give you the short version.

00:25:26: I've always been around music.

00:25:30: I've always been

00:25:31: around...

00:25:34: of just originality, whether painting would just say the graffiti, oil paint, stuff like that, then the dancing break, break, break dancing part of it.

00:25:48: I've been around people who was heavy in that, in that feel of the hip hop.

00:25:56: All the five elements, basically.

00:25:58: I know people who's heavy in all the five elements.

00:26:01: So I've always engulfed myself around that.

00:26:05: growing up in New York City is a melting pot for all of that.

00:26:10: So I know a lot of originators.

00:26:12: I know a lot of people who are on the come up still.

00:26:15: And I know a lot of people who just, you know, who have traveled to New York City to try to accomplish their goals in the hip hop culture.

00:26:26: You know, so I'm just one of the originators in the city that's been there.

00:26:33: and have been spreading the planted flags wherever I go and represent for New York City.

00:26:43: I

00:26:45: see the dog getting crazy.

00:26:47: The dog getting crazy, yes, trying to wild out.

00:26:50: She always doing something.

00:26:53: This pit bulls is crazy, man.

00:26:56: Yeah, but you know, that's what it is, man.

00:27:05: It's just an original thing, just an original feeling, an authentic feeling when you're around me because I'm not trying to duplicate anybody's system or what they have done.

00:27:21: I'm just bringing

00:27:23: how I would

00:27:26: present it to the table.

00:27:30: Sometimes do

00:27:31: you

00:27:32: think about all the things that you've done back in the past and you know, think about all the crazy shit that you're doing, man, the hollies that you've been working with, the music that you've been assisting, you know what I'm saying?

00:27:45: Like doing A in All World.

00:27:46: Do you sometimes think about all that, you know, about your resume and be like, damn, I've done this a lot,

00:27:52: man.

00:27:57: Sometimes, I mean, I sit down, just later, a lot of things, I said, shit, you know, a lot of things, it just, just like you say, you're just moving and you're moving and you're making things happen.

00:28:14: and you're connecting the dots.

00:28:15: So sometimes you don't even a hundred percent get a chance to see things, you know, pull to where it was, where you've seen it, where you saw it going to be.

00:28:32: You get where I'm coming from?

00:28:35: So, you know, I don't, I just sit back and just let things play out.

00:28:46: So, yeah, I love it.

00:28:49: I just love it, man.

00:28:50: I don't sit back and look at too many other things that I've done until after the fact.

00:28:58: It's like, oh, shit, I did this, I did that.

00:29:01: But this is like a farmer.

00:29:03: When you're planting seeds, all you do is maintain your crop.

00:29:12: And wait for it to grow.

00:29:14: And wait for it to grow.

00:29:15: So that's how I look at it.

00:29:17: I look at it like I'm a farmer.

00:29:19: and I'm planning to see and I have to move forward to keep the rest of the farm going in order for the farm to stay stable.

00:29:30: Yeah man, we gotta tell the people, you know the details too about that because you know they're hearing us talk about.

00:29:36: you know pushing artists having a platform but you're one of the guys that like you said you represent the five elements you know doing A&R work producing music You also rap, you make interviews, you know, you man, you do it all.

00:29:55: And people got all like that.

00:29:57: Yeah, people, I mean, like I said, it's all it's all been independent.

00:30:01: And I see that, like, you know, a lot of people though, don't don't realize that we as individual bodies that are a part of the hip hop movement and the culture was of hip hop.

00:30:19: that we all play a part.

00:30:22: But if the mainstream meaning that the labels, if the labels don't sign people, and if the labels, people don't see the label saying, this is good, a lot of people don't realize the small pieces of the puzzle that really make the big picture work.

00:30:41: You know what I'm saying?

00:30:43: So, platforms like Mixtape Attics, and all the other platforms that run independently are major.

00:30:54: And, you know, us, that play a part, that are being a part of these platforms, just like you said, have to be recognized.

00:31:02: And I appreciate the time that you're taking now to, you know, you'll interview me and get it out.

00:31:10: Even though we're together, you know, it's a... You know, it's a given tape, you know?

00:31:20: For sure, for sure.

00:31:21: Well, you know, that's my job, you know what I'm saying?

00:31:24: Not a job, but that's my mission.

00:31:26: You know, I've always been doing it.

00:31:28: And I like to, you know, put light on people when I can, you know, when I have the power to do it.

00:31:34: I like to do it so people can do their work and, you know, look up to stuff that you've done, that we've done, you know, together and you've also done on your side.

00:31:43: And man, you know, they got to respect the work.

00:31:46: You got respect to work, man.

00:31:48: And what do you have right now?

00:31:50: I know you work a lot, you know, different things.

00:31:52: And right now, what are your next goals and what are you working on, bro?

00:31:58: There are a lot of things happening right now as we speak.

00:32:04: I just, actually yesterday, we had, well, actually part of me.

00:32:10: The day before yesterday, which is Sunday, we had a movie premiere independently.

00:32:18: Like you said, I've done a lot of work with people, and this is one of the scenes that I planted years ago with an artist.

00:32:29: I hosted his mixtape years ago, and moving forward, we did a lot of other small works, but he started doing film.

00:32:41: And this artist named C-Class, so he started doing a film called Let's Go for Life, and previous to me being a part of his situation, I was a part of Respect Life, which is another web series, an independent film and team.

00:32:58: that was a show that was filmed from a good brother of mine also, but he passed away, his name was Boom Pea.

00:33:08: So he basically, you know, seen the work that I did with Boom Pea and realized that, you know, Boom Pea was,

00:33:15: you know,

00:33:18: he was the creator brought to all of them home earlier than we would have expected.

00:33:25: So, you know, in order to keep things going and flowing as a Brooklyn, you know, team and, you know, just Brooklyn Spray Love, he brought me a part of what's going on with his system.

00:33:40: And yeah, we did a, we actually did a couple of scenes, a couple of episodes, and then No came up with a idea.

00:33:50: So, you know, let's do a spin-off where we do a movie.

00:33:54: So we filmed an hour and a half movie.

00:33:58: Off of the characters and the main people that were a part of his original web series.

00:34:05: They basically honed in everybody.

00:34:07: So, you know, the people that have been watching the show and the fans have been watching the show and supporting the system of the show.

00:34:20: to get all the characters you know locked in so people can recognize right this is this character this is this person.

00:34:27: now we did a movie.

00:34:28: so we had the movie premiere Sunday and the movie premiere was a success.

00:34:32: a lot of

00:34:34: other

00:34:35: um independent and guys that have been working over years showed up and showed the support.

00:34:41: so it was a good energy it was a good vibe.

00:34:44: so we had that that's called let's go for life vintage brooklyn story.

00:34:49: That's on YouTube.

00:34:51: I'm playing a character named Sharad.

00:34:53: And then we have the movie, which is the hour and a half, and we're going to be doing different screenings all over the city for the next couple of months, moving into the winter, going into January, you know?

00:35:07: Are you planning on doing subtitles or stuff like that for your international viewers out there?

00:35:15: Yeah, you know, when you upload certain things to YouTube they have a button where you could press subtitles and it I guess transfers the language of speeches to whatever country the viewers are in.

00:35:29: you know

00:35:33: yes sir yes sir and talking about that man you know you have a strong relationship with European hip-hop you know whether it's all these DJs and all that.

00:35:43: so what you think about the the European scene when it comes to hip-hop?

00:35:47: The European scene which comes to hip-hop is new.

00:35:53: and well not it's not really new but it's still new but it's you know it's different.

00:36:02: you know like I said hip-hop is something that has traveled for decades you know even before I was fully fully into it.

00:36:14: so I mean It's very interesting to watch, you know?

00:36:22: And it's a lot of talent out of there also because, you know, there's talent everywhere.

00:36:27: So, you know, I'm just interested in seeing how and where it's going in the near future, you know?

00:36:37: For sure, for sure.

00:36:39: Have you been working with... Any European guys, you know guys from overseas, you know for like movies mixtapes all that besides me because you know people know that

00:36:50: I mean besides you.

00:36:51: I haven't actually Ventioned into any into anything else out in in in the European market not because I'm not interested but just because Nobody actually reached out, you know I'm not sure if they're... I don't know how the people on that side of the world, you know, analyze things the way that we're doing it, or think that they can't approach us, you know, because I know you work with a few other people in the region.

00:37:45: But I haven't heard anybody reach out to me, so...

00:38:31: And one thing I'd like to hear from you is like an album where you tell the life, I mean the story of your life and all the things that you've done and put all that into.

00:38:43: You know, musical piece.

00:38:45: I mean, I'm actually working on that.

00:38:48: I have a few, I mean, I have a, I have a, actually I have an album that is damn near finished.

00:39:01: It's called Amsterdam.

00:39:03: Nice.

00:39:03: And yeah, I have a few different joints on there.

00:39:07: I'm working, see with me, I'm so used to platforming and helping other artists platform.

00:39:16: their talents, due to the fact that I'm doing it for myself.

00:39:21: now, it seems like I'm getting more critiquish towards things, even though I wasn't a critic towards the culture of the scene before.

00:39:39: Now I'm overthinking stuff, so I'm just getting myself more comfortable.

00:39:47: and being somebody that's putting out music, even though I've been doing, I'm actually getting more comfortable putting out music for myself.

00:39:58: And actually, you know, it's a slow process because people are not used to hearing my voice musically.

00:40:08: Other than, you know, if I jumped on a track and did a quick couple of you know, albums or there's something or voiceovers or you know, whatever it might be over the years, I've done things on people's albums and you know, and songs and singles or whatever it is.

00:40:25: So now, as is me fully representing myself as an artist, you know, it's a slow process to get my peers to really realize that I'm taking that part of what I'm doing serious and they're gonna be here for me a lot more.

00:40:47: I mean, I realize that they're shocked.

00:40:51: A lot of people are shocked, like shocked, like oh shit, like this guy's acting.

00:40:57: But think about it, right?

00:40:58: I started in the fourth quarter last year.

00:41:03: Right?

00:41:03: So that means that I'm only actually six months in or six to seven, eight months in to be an artist.

00:41:12: Yeah, you've been doing your thing for so many years that it's in your blood, you know, it's like natural to you.

00:41:19: Yeah, I get that thought, but think about it, right?

00:41:22: Look how much stuff I've done in the meantime, and it's organically happening.

00:41:27: Like, You know what I'm saying?

00:41:28: Like, I'm on Aguilar's album.

00:41:31: I'm on the Black Ridge port.

00:41:34: Me, him, and M. Tundra did a song named Insha Allah.

00:41:40: It was by Aguilar.

00:41:43: Then I'm on Lefty Pacino's album on a track named Backstreetz.

00:41:50: You know, then I blessed Lexa Kaiser.

00:41:55: And DJ King flows on the Connect album.

00:41:59: That's a three track trilogy, right?

00:42:02: No, it's like, I don't know how many songs we have in there.

00:42:05: It's like ten or twelve songs.

00:42:07: Oh, not because when he sent the email, all I got was three.

00:42:10: No, he probably only sent three, you know, just for promo, but there's a whole... Oh,

00:42:14: okay, okay.

00:42:15: I was bugging.

00:42:15: I'm like, okay, I did a quick trilogy.

00:42:17: I gotta jump on that type of time right now.

00:42:21: But to tell you the truth, remember you had a whole catalog of beats that you lost that I have access to because remember we uploaded them to my, to my iTunes.

00:42:36: So those are more of, of like the original King Flow style.

00:42:44: Yeah.

00:42:44: So I gotta, I gotta listen to that again.

00:42:46: It's been so long.

00:42:47: I mean, I don't lust like two hard drives, I think.

00:42:50: No, that's what I'm saying, but I have the beats, so it's all good because they still can be utilized.

00:42:56: So those are the actual beats that I've been sitting back and have been letting myself resonate too because those are the ones that I'm going to be recording some audio to definitely.

00:43:11: I got some sneaky, sneaky, sneaky joints that I've been working on.

00:43:15: My system of recording is very, very slow.

00:43:19: you know, unless I'm in the booth right then and there and I do more of like a energy of bounce.

00:43:29: My rap style is more of a bounce after I have to be moving, you know what I'm saying?

00:43:34: So if I'm sitting down, it's hard for me to process the writing.

00:43:40: But if I'm in the booth and listen to the beat and I can bounce real quick, I can come up with a quick concept.

00:43:46: like the joint I did with Lexatons and that was more, that was a freestyle, I think it's true.

00:43:51: Nice, nice.

00:43:53: I told you man, it's natural for you, you know, it's not everybody that can say the same thing, but people like you that's always been living hip-hop culture, you know, from day one.

00:44:03: Because you've been here for a while you've seen the game change.

00:44:07: You've seen the even the the styles of like the style of flow decide the style of beats change you've seen everything.

00:44:15: It's natural for you man, and now I can't wait to.

00:44:19: You know here are full length project from you just telling the Life story, you know cuz people need to hear that for

00:44:30: sure.

00:44:30: Yeah, man like I think I mean, people definitely would love to hear it, but you know what's so crazy?

00:44:40: Growing up, a lot of times, people don't really listen.

00:44:47: And I actually started realizing that to a T, man.

00:44:53: And now it's like that I'm releasing music, people are listening.

00:45:01: So I definitely, I'm structuring right now, like I said, I'm structuring This album, bro.

00:45:13: This is going to be a good one because I have a lot of stories.

00:45:17: So it's hard for me to not be able to add in all of these different stories.

00:45:24: So just like you said, I have to take my time.

00:45:29: And you know what, too?

00:45:30: I'm going to need your help, too.

00:45:31: You're going to have to remind me of some things, too, because, you know, you can't remember everything.

00:45:36: You think you do, but, you know, Can't remember.

00:45:39: So there's probably things that you remember that I like you like yo remember this.

00:45:44: oh shit Yeah, so I can add it to this album.

00:45:48: Yeah, we got we got many stories man.

00:45:50: one that came to my mind right now is the

00:45:52: when

00:45:53: we were in Providence and we turned that house into Nice like some type of networking place where people came, you know listen to beats smoke some weed, you know Brain, you know get to get some ideas in your brain, you know make some moves Like you told artists to come through, I remember Ali Pong came through, UDF came through, you created the whole concept of that track that ended up in a vinyl album like maybe ten years after.

00:46:23: That show you that music is timeless and those type of stories are authentic and I think that's what people want to hear.

00:46:30: Yeah well guess what.

00:46:31: we got footage and stuff.

00:46:32: so I think I think people want to see it too.

00:46:38: So I've been going through my hard drives and I've been looking through and sifting through videos and different things.

00:46:47: Like you said, it's authentic man and it's air raising.

00:46:52: Like right now that I'm speaking, I got goosebumps because it's so much and you said it's so authentic.

00:47:01: Yeah.

00:47:02: You know?

00:47:04: And I'm just happy that I was blessed with the energy and the drive to keep on moving forward, no matter what negative or blockage arrives or what's presented to us.

00:47:23: We just juked it and moved forward, you know?

00:47:25: Yup, yup.

00:47:26: For sure, man.

00:47:27: Gotta move forward.

00:47:29: Just like the... Also the last time we connected together that was this year, you know, like Going to shade forty-five together, you know after going through all those years of hard work, you know struggles and Sometimes almost quitting this shit and we head up at shade forty-five together, you know, I'm saying like It's that that shows people that I think you should never really give up and those type of connections that we have the story that we have is unique.

00:48:00: I never heard anybody else doing this type of stuff.

00:48:04: you know like a dude from New York connecting with a young French guy back in the days I was eighteen thirty one now and we still here.

00:48:12: man still making music still you know doing those handle views.

00:48:16: you know helping each other out.

00:48:19: it's unique.

00:48:20: you know one of those days when we gonna have the the funds to do that we're gonna do a movie about that.

00:48:27: believe that shit man.

00:48:28: but guess what bro?

00:48:29: We have the funds to do it.

00:48:33: And because people think that it takes millions and millions of dollars, no, our story is authentic.

00:48:40: And the movie is a documentary.

00:48:44: We have the footage.

00:48:47: We have the receipts.

00:48:48: As the people say nowadays in this thing, we have the receipts.

00:48:53: You know what I'm saying?

00:48:54: So I think the best thing for us to do is to just go through this footage.

00:49:02: and put our documentary together, bro.

00:49:04: And just the same way how we, I just Sunday, we had a whole film exhibition, bro.

00:49:16: And it was wonderful, man.

00:49:17: I felt like a kid in junior high school.

00:49:21: I was actually sitting in a movie theater, you know what I'm saying?

00:49:24: Which I haven't done in decades in the dark for mad hours.

00:49:30: Like part of the two hours, you know what I'm saying?

00:49:33: And it was just a good vibe.

00:49:35: Everybody was happy.

00:49:36: Everybody was, you know, felt accomplished, you know?

00:49:40: Because it's independent and there's no budget to these things.

00:49:43: So when you see it all the way through to the end, it's a very, very, very wonderful feeling.

00:49:53: So all the people out there that are going through the struggle that wake up in the morning and they only got two, three dollars and they only got an L to roll.

00:50:06: Man, just roll that L. Take a breather and just keep on pushing forward, man.

00:50:13: Because this week we get blinded by trying to make a dollar off of everything when there's no other gratified feeling other than seeing something that you've had built from scratch, see all the way through the end.

00:50:39: Whether you made money or not from it, man, there's no more accomplished feeling than to bend that, man.

00:50:46: You know what I'm saying?

00:50:47: Just keep on pushing.

00:50:48: Never stop, you know?

00:50:51: It's like you say at the beginning, you're talking about the farm routine, watching the seed grow.

00:50:57: And it's a beautiful feeling when you start seeing the first flowers,

00:51:01: you know?

00:51:03: Yeah.

00:51:04: It's a wonderful thing, man.

00:51:07: Man, listen, I lost my whole family during the quarantine.

00:51:15: I was in a dark place, you know?

00:51:19: Me and you were arguing, you know?

00:51:21: It was all my fault because I was just in a dark place.

00:51:25: And, you know, when you lose all your family, your immediate family, your chairman squad, your mother, your father, your sister, your uncles, it takes you to a different, it takes you to a different thought pattern.

00:51:42: You lose yourself.

00:51:44: And if you really, really want to accomplish the goals that you have set for yourself, you're going to find yourself again.

00:51:52: That's what I've done.

00:51:55: You know, all of these things that I've done, I had to remember them.

00:51:58: I had to go through the fire and realize that I really need these things.

00:52:04: These things are part of me and I am a part of them.

00:52:07: So this is why I'm moving forward and I will never stop doing what I'm doing with this.

00:52:12: Turning

00:52:15: negative into positive here,

00:52:16: you know?

00:52:17: Yeah, we're turning the negatives into positives, man.

00:52:19: In any, in any, in any, in any height of the fire, forget about that.

00:52:25: We're going to turn it into a positive situation.

00:52:28: Because at the end of the day, when it's over, it's over.

00:52:31: For real, it's over.

00:52:33: You know, so I think that Everything that we do over the years is a part of us.

00:52:39: And if you end it, you end your life.

00:52:42: You actually give yourself more a faster way to go than to be to stay alive.

00:52:50: Because it is a part.

00:52:52: For sure,

00:52:52: for sure.

00:52:53: You get what I'm coming from?

00:52:54: Yeah, yeah, two hundred percent, bro.

00:52:56: Facts.

00:52:57: Yeah, yeah.

00:52:58: And for those out there, man, that may be going into a dark path or maybe, you know, about Give up or don't believe in themself enough.

00:53:08: what could you say man to the to the young ones out there or even the older ones too all the people that believe in their dreams?

00:53:15: what could you say to them?

00:53:16: One more time is this man never give up.

00:53:22: trust me no matter how many times you turn to the laugh you turn to the right you look up you look down you think there's not a fucking answer for your problem or solution for it.

00:53:34: There is a solution, trust me.

00:53:37: Just take a breather, find some good herb, light that

00:53:44: up,

00:53:45: sit down, take a pull, breathe in, breathe out, and guarantee you're gonna find an answer.

00:53:57: And you have a

00:53:58: solution.

00:53:59: Like we always bring the same man.

00:54:07: Yeah, so this is, like you said, man, my story is definitely a long, long, long, long story.

00:54:14: A lot of work being put in.

00:54:17: So this interview is not the average interview because, you know, we'll be here for hours.

00:54:23: Yep.

00:54:24: This is just a reminder that I'm still here and the work and the ethics are still there and even that much more, you know, We're fine

00:54:39: for sure man for sure.

00:54:41: Yeah, like you said man, we could go home for hours, you know, but we gotta You know tell people like the big points, you know I'm saying like the major points of the of our story and if they want to hear more If they want to know more about that we'll be working on some things, you know for people to enjoy and understand that story all the details You know like it's.

00:55:03: like I said in the beginning man For us it's like thirteen, fourteen years of work.

00:55:10: So that's a proof right there that you should never give up.

00:55:14: In fact, and a lot of the time the work that we have put it in, we were a hundred percent right there with each other.

00:55:22: He was in France and I was in Brooklyn and we still got things accomplished.

00:55:29: So there's no excuse.

00:55:33: He was somewhere else.

00:55:36: We talked about fourteen years.

00:55:38: We have over how many damn mixtapes out.

00:55:41: And at the same time,

00:55:43: I stopped counting.

00:55:45: And at the same time, I was doing mixtapes with DJ Watts and still doing what I was doing in Brooklyn.

00:55:51: You feel what I'm saying?

00:55:52: So I don't think that there's no excuses for anybody to stop working, man.

00:55:56: Just keep on going.

00:55:59: That's it.

00:56:00: Keep on pushing forward.

00:56:02: Yeah, man.

00:56:03: We only have a few minutes left.

00:56:05: We have three minutes left in this interview.

00:56:45: No, no.
