00:18:37: I ain't for a nigga to try it, had some fun.

00:18:51: I'm busy getting money.

00:18:53: called back, bitch The highlight of your life is my park facts, it's so embedded in my DNA To be a flocked-up nigga, how my pop raised me Young handsome in my gunfire.

00:19:04: I'm so cool, she don't wanna leave my side Cause I'm so smooth G-Minded, Infamous Minded.

00:19:11: They wanna hear it rap like

00:19:12: this But can't find it with that.

00:19:34: It's a mixtape at a radio show of your host King Flo over here in France and today my special guest is none other than DJ Dead Eye.

00:19:43: How you doing bro?

00:19:44: Salute, salute, salute.

00:19:46: You doing good man, you know.

00:19:49: Things are good man.

00:19:49: Life is great brother.

00:19:51: Yes sir, I see you working man.

00:19:53: Always dropping some new music, some hot shit.

00:19:55: We gonna talk about that.

00:19:57: But first of all, man, I have to ask you, it's the mixtape-atic tradition.

00:20:02: I think you know the question.

00:20:04: Who is your all-time favorite DJ, bro?

00:20:08: Man, that's a heavy question.

00:20:11: In terms of mixtapes, there's a few guys that influenced me, right?

00:20:20: So there's obviously like you got like Fung Mastaflex and things like that.

00:20:23: But there's also like Tony Touch.

00:20:25: There's like Green Lantern.

00:20:28: SNS, Craig G, Juice, Rest in Peace, DJ Juice, that dude was the monster.

00:20:36: So I got a lot of different influences.

00:20:40: I would say I probably think my favorite DJ ever is probably J-Master J probably.

00:20:46: Rest in Peace.

00:20:48: Tell the people why especially J-Master J and the other names that you say.

00:20:53: I think like J, Jay was just one of those guys that he was the epitome of what it was like or how you want it to be a DJ.

00:21:04: You know what I mean?

00:21:06: He dressed really nice.

00:21:08: He was good in the community.

00:21:12: He was obviously an incredible show DJ.

00:21:14: He was part of the group.

00:21:16: He made the group really what it was.

00:21:18: He's the one who got them dressed and really fly and he brought a different element to the show.

00:21:24: He was literally like, part of, part of Run DMC, like you can't even.

00:21:29: That's why they don't really do shows anymore, because they can't even do it without JMSJ, you know what I mean?

00:21:33: So, some piece to the icon, JMSJ, that dude right there, man.

00:21:37: Just influenced a generation of people,

00:21:39: you know what I mean?

00:21:40: Yeah, for sure.

00:21:41: He was a dope DJ, but not only, he was like a representative of the culture.

00:21:46: Like you say, dressing well, you know, having the dope groove with him, always supporting.

00:21:51: Yeah, all

00:21:51: the jewelry, everything.

00:21:53: Like, he was man.

00:21:54: That dude was the epitome of hip hop, you know what I'm saying?

00:21:58: Some of those other guys all had some type of influence on me, you know, when just being little and just trying to see anything.

00:22:05: You know, another dude, huge influence for me was Grandmaster Flash.

00:22:11: You know, watching Wildstyle and seeing him DJ in his kitchen and like just watching him just get busy.

00:22:19: Like that's changed like my whole trajectory and like my whole thought process, you know what I mean?

00:22:25: And I don't think he was realizing what he was doing back in the days, like the flood of new DJs that were going to go after him, after watching that, like the influence.

00:22:36: Yeah, for sure.

00:22:38: For sure.

00:22:38: He says it on, he did an interview on Dream Champs and he said that it was like him, Bambada, and then like two other guys that were the guys moving around and doing any parties at that time.

00:22:51: So he would go and travel to go see them.

00:22:54: and their element to kinda like get an idea of like who's doing what and who's actually like some of the guys pushing the culture,

00:23:01: you know?

00:23:03: For sure, man.

00:23:05: I have another mixtape padded question.

00:23:08: Well, I think I know the answer already, but I'm gonna ask it anyway.

00:23:12: Do

00:23:13: you miss the mixtape format,

00:23:15: bro?

00:23:16: Totally, you know.

00:23:19: I still do it when I can get to it.

00:23:23: I wish I could do more.

00:23:25: I think I'm going to start next year.

00:23:28: I think I'm going to start doing way more mix tapes.

00:23:35: Obviously it's gotten different with the streaming and all that, but there's still a huge demand for it.

00:23:42: Even me just having the ones I make, having them at shows, giving people options of what to buy or whatever.

00:23:50: That's huge.

00:23:51: And then people don't even get like that mixtape format anymore.

00:23:55: So they're like, oh, my God, you still make these great.

00:23:58: Thank you so much.

00:23:58: I need these.

00:23:59: Do you have any more, you know?

00:24:00: So there's a huge, there's a huge demand because everybody went into either radio or podcasting or streaming.

00:24:09: And they kind of left the mixtape game alone.

00:24:11: And, you know, I get it.

00:24:13: People got scared with the DJ drama thing and, you know, in oh six and that kind of shifted the game.

00:24:20: But there's a huge want and necessity for that.

00:24:25: Of course.

00:24:26: Like I said, like I said, as shows, people love them.

00:24:30: Because you could give them three for ten, five for twenty or something, and you're still making out.

00:24:37: And they're happy because they got five different things to play in their car, whatever, if they still got a CD player.

00:24:44: And nowadays...

00:24:46: I'm never gonna not do mix tapes.

00:24:49: But for me, just a regular mixtape got old for me, so I had to figure out a way to do that style, but add an MC or a sponsor or some host in it or whatever just to give it a different flavor, you know what I mean?

00:25:05: Of course, you gotta be creative with the concept,

00:25:08: with the

00:25:08: work, you know, all that.

00:25:11: Anybody could put a bunch of songs on one thing together.

00:25:14: It's about making a flavor, making it make sense.

00:25:17: you know, add into the culture, not just, you know, throwing something together.

00:25:23: You feel me?

00:25:23: For sure.

00:25:24: And nowadays, people are treating this also as a collector item.

00:25:28: They get mixtapes from you.

00:25:30: And some people, they're not going to play it.

00:25:32: They're just going to keep it with the plastic sleeve in their living.

00:25:36: You know what I'm saying?

00:25:36: Like, it's collector now.

00:25:38: Especially in Europe.

00:25:39: In Europe, it's like that all the time.

00:25:41: Every time I go, it's like that, you know?

00:25:43: People show mad love.

00:25:45: They'll take it.

00:25:45: They'll have it signed.

00:25:46: They want me to sign something else that they had from, they got from somehow, some way, you know, from America.

00:25:53: And yeah, they cherish them, bro.

00:25:55: You know, they want me to sign everything possible.

00:25:57: So I do everything I can, you know.

00:25:59: And people don't hold on to those things forever.

00:26:01: Yeah, you're right, man.

00:26:02: It's timeless, you know.

00:26:04: Yeah,

00:26:04: it really is.

00:26:06: And it's wild because, you know, the culture got to wait.

00:26:10: Well, not really the culture, but it was like technology and and the labels got away from the physical product and that kind of like got people programmed that like they don't need it, you know?

00:26:23: So when they actually have it of something that they, you know, whatever artists that they super love or that's super into, like they'll hold on to that forever and they'll talk about that forever.

00:26:32: So tangible product will never go out of style,

00:26:36: you know what

00:26:37: I mean?

00:26:37: I still buy CDs from rappers that I looked up to when I was a kid, I'll go to the show and I'll buy it right from them,

00:26:42: you know what I mean?

00:26:43: Yeah, man, I think it's coming back, you know, like, like you said, especially in Europe, I see I see DJs still dropping CDs and some of them are dropping cassette tapes,

00:26:53: you know, but yeah, now for sure.

00:26:54: The cassette tape people are like dedicated, you know, so, um, yeah, no, it's it's important, you know, the tapes even back home tapes of big back here again CDs are big again, vinyl is, you know, always going to be big.

00:27:11: But I'm the tangible product is like that.

00:27:13: it's not like it, you know and people people are starting to realize that like Wow, you know, it's different when you have it and you can play whenever you want and you know say like like for instance like say like beatnuts Stone crazy, right?

00:27:29: I've had that.

00:27:30: I've had that record since I was like fifteen right.

00:27:33: I could play it at any time anytime I want but the CDs discontinued and the music's not on DSP.

00:27:40: Yep.

00:27:42: So if you don't have it, you can't listen to

00:27:46: it.

00:27:47: Yep.

00:27:47: You're missing out on something.

00:27:49: You can go on YouTube, but you're going to have ads.

00:27:52: It's not the same.

00:27:52: You can't put YouTube in your car.

00:27:55: Yep.

00:27:55: Yeah.

00:27:55: I mean, or play it on your record player.

00:27:58: You know what I mean?

00:27:58: So.

00:27:59: Tangible product is never gonna go out of style man.

00:28:02: For sure.

00:28:02: I think you gotta be smart about the way of releasing it.

00:28:05: You know I was checking out Lloyd Banks Instagram page recently and he did a bunch of freestyles on industry beats and he told people like he compiled all the freestyle and dropped physical releases.

00:28:17: He said you can only get those freestyles with the physical release.

00:28:21: It's not on Spotify.

00:28:23: It's not anywhere.

00:28:24: You can just get the physical to hear the freestyles.

00:28:28: Yeah, man.

00:28:29: No, that's it right there.

00:28:30: I mean, you know, who was doing that for a long time was Rock Marcy, because he would have his album available on his website for like two or three weeks before it comes out.

00:28:41: And he was selling the physical CDs for like thirty, forty dollars.

00:28:45: So that right there is the way to go.

00:28:47: You know, obviously, like I tell people like this, right?

00:28:50: You know, this is a little jewel.

00:28:51: I give people because I talk to a lot of like young artists who kind of don't really know what they're doing.

00:28:56: So I kind of like explain to them like when you put it on like and you're in Europe.

00:29:01: So it's going to sound different, you know, because of the store names and stuff.

00:29:04: But so say like the the the super corporate store in America is Walmart, right?

00:29:12: That's like.

00:29:13: that's like the DSPs.

00:29:15: The DSPs is like Walmart, right?

00:29:19: But you got people who like buying directly from the artist or in a smaller way or they they're like more like.

00:29:27: So there's a there's a there's a competitor called Target in America.

00:29:32: So some people just loyal target people and they don't go anywhere else but Target.

00:29:36: So that's like Bandcamp, you know?

00:29:39: So you have to have it in everywhere possible so everyone can enjoy it, you know what I mean?

00:29:45: And the Bandcamp, the Bandcamp people are the ones buying the physical copies.

00:29:49: So you want to cater to them too or even more sometimes because you're gonna make more money off of them than just having it on the shelf at Walmart.

00:29:56: You know what I'm saying?

00:30:00: And it's more wrong.

00:30:02: It's like hand-to-hand, like direct, you know, artist to consumer, you know?

00:30:07: And I think that's what the fans like.

00:30:09: They like to have like a special link, you know, like a personal link with the hardest when you buy directly from him.

00:30:16: You get the harder one.

00:30:17: it's different you know like it touched you in a different way.

00:30:21: Totally man and you have some type of connection there you know.

00:30:24: and then next time maybe you see them you know maybe months later and they remember that you did that or you had that interaction or wow I remember when I signed this or blah blah blah you know or you're.

00:30:35: wow you still have this.

00:30:36: you know it's like it's a conversation piece and it's it's you get more personal with the artist you know.

00:30:41: Of course, and also if we talk about like the way it touches your artist, also when you look at the artwork, you know, like if you're on the phone, the artwork is small, you cannot really see every detail, so when you get to the set or even better, you get to vinyl, it's different, you know?

00:30:58: It's beautiful.

00:31:00: It's totally different, man.

00:31:01: That's why like it's gonna, you know, it's going back and stuff like that.

00:31:07: for people who always been on that, it's never gone anywhere, but For the mainstream people that only consume things throughout the mainstream, they are starting to understand that you need the physical.

00:31:19: For any type of feeling of the art.

00:31:25: It's just digital coming out of your phone.

00:31:28: There's no feeling there.

00:31:29: You know what I'm saying?

00:31:30: Yeah, you're right.

00:31:31: And recently I've seen her.

00:31:33: Well, I'm not a fan of the artist, but I've seen Cardi B. She did that.

00:31:37: She was outside with vinyls.

00:31:39: Yo, I love that girl, man.

00:31:40: She's amazing.

00:31:42: Like, I get it, you know, it's not like everybody's type of music, but she reminds me of like every girl I grew up with or every girl that's like around my family.

00:31:52: So it's like, so it's like.

00:31:54: it's so Like what she did, I think it was yesterday, she did a pop-up in her old neighborhood at a, at a deli, like where you get like cigarettes and shit, like, and food, you know?

00:32:06: So there's like thousands of people in the street.

00:32:09: They got the streets blocked off.

00:32:11: She's just, you know, interacting with her, with her fans and family that she grew up with.

00:32:15: Like she's going to do so good with this album just because of that, because people don't do that.

00:32:20: Yep.

00:32:21: People don't do that no more.

00:32:22: Definitely not in America.

00:32:23: Like, you'll have a couple of people that do that, you know, a little bit more grassroots people, though.

00:32:29: Like, you say, like, say, like, people like currency or, like, Wiz Khalifa or something.

00:32:33: They'll do stuff like that, you know what I mean?

00:32:36: Fat Joe or things like that.

00:32:38: People that grew from the ground up.

00:32:40: But, you know, a lot of these industry dudes, they're not gonna do that.

00:32:44: Yup, yup.

00:32:45: It's good to see somebody that... as big as Scotty B doing that, you know?

00:32:50: Yeah, for real, for real.

00:32:51: That's super important, man.

00:32:53: Like between her and the clips, last two runs, they're starting to change the way that you go about promoting your album in America.

00:33:04: Again, they're taking it back to like the old ways.

00:33:07: Yep.

00:33:07: But I think that's the best way.

00:33:08: That's the way the musical alt firm is supposed to be consumed, you know?

00:33:14: Definitely.

00:33:15: And it crosses like... the more you see them talk or the more you are, you know, around what they're doing, it starts to make more sense.

00:33:25: You start to understand more about what is coming out, you know, and what is ready to happen.

00:33:31: And some people need that, you know, there's too much news.

00:33:34: You got too much news on your phone all day.

00:33:36: You can miss something, you can miss something like nothing in twenty four hours.

00:33:40: So if it's constantly in your face all the time, you're more likely to check it out, you know?

00:33:45: Yep, yep.

00:33:46: For show, man, for show.

00:33:47: So we can expect new physical releases from you too, like you told me.

00:33:51: Yeah, I got a lot of stuff.

00:33:52: I got a lot of stuff, bro.

00:33:54: Like, it's been years of just working on things, you know?

00:33:58: So right now, I'm finishing up my second single off the new album.

00:34:03: I dropped the one with Method Man and Term and Deck, Drug Bots, late last year.

00:34:11: So I got to follow up single.

00:34:12: I'm doing a bit, I'm doing it a little bit different this time and dropping singles spaced out to see like to kind of like force the song into people so people understand what's going on and then hit them with the album in a little bit.

00:34:29: So The song with Term and Method Man and Deck is doing incredible.

00:34:35: You know, it's almost gold on Spotify.

00:34:38: It's insanely huge on mix shows and on playlists right now.

00:34:43: So that's doing great.

00:34:44: And then the second single, you know, I'll give you all the info, but it's basically, it's going to be one of the last Sean Price songs ever.

00:34:53: Oh, shit.

00:34:54: Oh, shit.

00:34:55: So it's, I never told nobody this, but it's going to be It's Sean P term and Smith & Wesson and then a little fame on the beat.

00:35:09: Oh shit.

00:35:10: Fizzy Woe Mac.

00:35:13: Fizzy Woe on the beat.

00:35:15: And then I produced everything.

00:35:17: I put it all together.

00:35:18: But that's coming.

00:35:19: That's coming.

00:35:20: Hopefully in the next month, I'm just finishing up little things and then trying to get the artwork finished and then working on the video and shit like that.

00:35:27: But that's coming within the next month.

00:35:30: I wanted to drive my album before the end of the year, but we'll see how it goes.

00:35:35: That's dope.

00:35:36: Thank you so much for sharing that.

00:35:38: You know, appreciate that.

00:35:39: No doubt.

00:35:40: Yeah, so yeah, that's coming.

00:35:42: And then the album will be, if not late this year, early next year, probably early next year.

00:35:48: If I stretch this, these next singles out for a little bit.

00:35:53: And the album's got crazy shit on it.

00:35:55: You know, obviously those two songs, I got, I got Crime Apple on it.

00:36:01: I got, you know, trying to think of some more guys.

00:36:04: I got Ed O'Gee, I got Rock-A from Dylated.

00:36:10: Dude, it's so crazy.

00:36:11: It's all over the place.

00:36:13: Trying to think of some more guys.

00:36:17: Nems is on it like it's all over the place dude and it's you know It's in the same vein as the other albums.

00:36:23: It's just a little bit more Just bigger bigger sound bigger artists bigger names, you know

00:36:30: Mm-hmm.

00:36:30: Yeah, musically.

00:36:31: Yeah, it's always going to evolve.

00:36:33: anyway, you know as the years go by music is evolving.

00:36:36: You're getting these better with the mixing all that you know.

00:36:40: Yeah, and then

00:36:41: the more the more you are The longer you take, the more you can be like, okay, this doesn't fit or this does fit.

00:36:49: I was listening to a bunch of Ghostface interviews and I understood a lot about what he was talking about.

00:36:55: Cause it's like, it's a feel and it's also like, like where you are right now.

00:37:01: You know what I mean?

00:37:02: So I understand what he was saying to about holding some of those songs for that long.

00:37:08: Cause I do that.

00:37:11: But I also understand how he didn't like it, you know, because it wasn't natural for him, you know.

00:37:17: I think yeah, he's gotta stay natural, you know, he's gotta stay natural.

00:37:21: Sure, but sometimes like he was saying, like sometimes those old records have that feeling of now, they just really recorded that, you know.

00:37:29: Yep, yep.

00:37:30: Yeah,

00:37:31: we can play.

00:37:32: And then some mixtapes I'm gonna be doing.

00:37:34: I'm definitely gonna be doing another Sour Power with Redman.

00:37:38: And yeah, just staying busy, bro.

00:37:40: Got a few video ideas coming out.

00:37:43: All that stuff is about to be out.

00:37:46: Hopefully by the end of the year and early next year or mid next year, it'll all be out.

00:37:51: Then hopefully in the next year or two, I want to start this book I've been trying to do and this documentary I've been trying to do.

00:38:03: Just trying to stay busy,

00:38:04: brother.

00:38:04: The show.

00:38:05: Yeah, I gotta show the people, you know, the groundwork, man.

00:38:08: All the work that you put in

00:38:09: the years, man.

00:38:10: The show.

00:38:11: The show.

00:38:11: That's definitely something I'm gonna get better at, too, is just being more visual.

00:38:17: At least video content-wise on YouTube or whatever.

00:38:20: I'm gonna try to be building that up soon in the next year or two as well.

00:38:24: Dope, dope, man.

00:38:25: We'll be here to support that.

00:38:27: Spin the record.

00:38:28: Yeah.

00:38:28: The show.

00:38:30: I hope to come back out to Europe.

00:38:33: I don't think it's gonna be late this year, but it'll probably be sometime next year.

00:38:37: Okay.

00:38:37: Well, I was about to ask you that.

00:38:39: When are we going to see you in Europe,

00:38:40: man?

00:38:42: I'm hoping soon, man, because the last time I was there, I mean, every time I go there, I have a good time.

00:38:46: But the last time we were there, we really did a really crazy show and people were wanting to fuck more stuff.

00:38:55: But we were already in Europe for like three weeks.

00:38:57: So it was like, all right, we got to get out of here.

00:38:59: So, so, so we're definitely going to go back because there's a few other countries that definitely wanted us to come through.

00:39:06: France was one of them.

00:39:09: You know, so I'm definitely, I'm definitely looking forward to that.

00:39:13: That's definitely on the horizon.

00:39:14: Probably me and Capitano most likely.

00:39:16: Okay.

00:39:17: And can we expect a collaboration with overseas artists, whether it's a French guy or a German guy, to get some different... Yeah,

00:39:26: I've been meaning to do that for a while.

00:39:29: I just haven't really caught the vibe yet of what I want to do with that.

00:39:37: I have a few other ideas and things that I'm working on right now, like I'm working with this kid, he's Mexican.

00:39:43: I got a song with him.

00:39:45: It's like a remix of something I did.

00:39:47: that I'm gonna put out and that'll be the first different language song that I'll drop.

00:39:55: But I've been working on stuff for years.

00:39:57: I've been working on reggae songs.

00:39:58: I've been working on... I've been wanting to do a European rap thing.

00:40:04: But I don't want to stick it to one country.

00:40:07: I want to incorporate as many people as possible.

00:40:11: That way everybody shows love and nobody feels left out.

00:40:14: You know what

00:40:14: I mean?

00:40:15: show.

00:40:16: It's gonna show.

00:40:16: And that's hard sometimes.

00:40:18: That's hard sometimes because like in certain countries in Europe like they're just that's their stuff.

00:40:24: you know like they're not a French audience might not be interested in what a Swiss rapper wants to say.

00:40:33: Well I think

00:40:34: we

00:40:34: have some.

00:40:35: we have some dudes we see collaborate.

00:40:37: I think they like.

00:40:38: I think they like the um I think they like the idea of it and they like the camaraderie.

00:40:45: But I wanted to, like for people, I wanted to all make sense for everybody, you know what I'm saying?

00:40:50: He's got to be attentive and people are going to feel it.

00:40:52: Exactly.

00:40:53: Exactly.

00:40:55: Because y'all have your own industry over there.

00:40:58: So you know when it's something that's not authentic or something that's like trying to appropriate whatever, you know what I mean?

00:41:06: Or appease somebody, you know?

00:41:08: So I don't want to ever have it come out like that.

00:41:11: I want it to be always authentic, always super hip hop, you know, and so yeah, I'm working on that.

00:41:17: I would actually like to do maybe like an album like that, where it's just all different people from all over the world.

00:41:26: Have it make sense and have it make like real sense.

00:41:30: I think RZA did something like that.

00:41:31: I know Onyx does a lot of stuff like that where they'll be with like, they'll work with Russian producers and obviously with Snow Goons and things like that.

00:41:40: And they just dropped an album with a French rap group called Luzine.

00:41:44: Onyx.

00:41:44: That's fire.

00:41:45: The whole album.

00:41:46: Yeah, they're on it, bro.

00:41:46: Yeah.

00:41:47: Yo, they're on it, bro.

00:41:48: That's definitely a group that like knows what they're doing.

00:41:53: Yup.

00:41:53: Yup.

00:41:54: In this new space.

00:41:56: Yup, legendary guys, man.

00:41:57: People gotta realize that Onyx, man, without Onyx, I don't think we have DMX, I don't think we have MOP, you know, for example.

00:42:06: Yeah.

00:42:07: They paved the way in terms of hardcore hip

00:42:10: hop.

00:42:11: Yeah, for sure, brother.

00:42:12: There was a few guys in that same vein around the same time, but these guys had the mega hit, you know, and they crossed over, like, man, that song was everywhere.

00:42:23: That song, like, Slam and OPP, bro.

00:42:30: In like, ninety-one, ninety-two, those are like the biggest songs of all time.

00:42:34: You know what I mean?

00:42:35: And they still, they still tour that shit.

00:42:37: It's crazy, man.

00:42:38: Yeah.

00:42:39: And they made it

00:42:39: legendary.

00:42:40: They made it cool to rock a ball head.

00:42:43: Yep.

00:42:44: That's, that's what, uh, do the

00:42:45: knowledge,

00:42:46: as Fredro would say.

00:42:49: But if you have a chance to check out the album with the French rap group that I told you, Luzine.

00:42:54: Okay.

00:42:55: It just came out, right?

00:42:56: Because I was just with them in, uh, I just saw them.

00:43:00: I did two shows with them in March in Vermont.

00:43:07: I produced the track on there.

00:43:08: Make sure you check that shit out.

00:43:09: Let me know what you

00:43:10: think.

00:43:10: Oh, dope.

00:43:11: Hell yeah.

00:43:12: I'm gonna def check it out.

00:43:13: I'm gonna def check it out.

00:43:14: I'm gonna check it out today.

00:43:16: No doubt, no doubt.

00:43:17: And do you have any advice, man, for the young upcoming DJs, entrepreneurs in the game right now?

00:43:25: The best thing I could do, I could say is like, yo, Don't be stubborn.

00:43:33: Be open to as much as you possibly can.

00:43:35: You never know what your niche is.

00:43:37: You could think you're the best hip hop producer and you're not that good.

00:43:41: Maybe your lane is dance music.

00:43:44: Maybe your lane is reggae.

00:43:46: Maybe your lane is whatever.

00:43:47: Like German folk music or something.

00:43:52: Don't pigeonhole yourself.

00:43:54: Don't set boundaries for yourself.

00:43:57: Try to be as open as possible.

00:44:01: Another thing, one thing that gets lost is try to treat everybody with respect.

00:44:09: For sure.

00:44:10: For sure.

00:44:11: Because you don't know who's who.

00:44:14: You don't know who you're talking to.

00:44:16: You don't know.

00:44:16: if this person's sister's uncle is gonna book you for some party that's gonna pay you three thousand dollars or whatever euros or something, right?

00:44:26: So you just don't know.

00:44:28: You gotta treat everybody as if it's customer service, like you're working at a store.

00:44:34: So don't put yourself in a box and don't alienate yourself before people even know who you are by treating them back.

00:44:45: Those are two simple things that really have nothing to do with DJing.

00:44:48: It's more like human thing.

00:44:51: But in terms of like DJing, again, be open, you know, don't always stick to something just because that's what you love, you know?

00:45:05: Like I love hip hop, I DJ hip hop, but I also DJ reggae and Spanish music, whatever dude, whatever's gonna give me the money at the end of the day.

00:45:14: We're DJs, we're DJs, we're not, you know, we can be bigger than what we are, but at the end of the day, we're DJs.

00:45:23: Yep, yep, and you know, we all love music.

00:45:26: As DJs, we all love music.

00:45:27: Any type of music, you know, it's not only just about hip hop, man,

00:45:30: it's just about music.

00:45:31: A good example of that is like watching DJ Jazzy Jeff do his thing.

00:45:38: Exactly.

00:45:39: He's gonna play rock and roll, he's gonna play reggae, he's gonna play stuff.

00:45:42: Exactly,

00:45:42: you know, and you can't... you gotta be like that, you gotta be and know where, like, because hip-hop comes from everything else.

00:45:51: So if you do the research, you can find something in those genres that connect right back to hip-hop or whatever you're doing, you know what I mean?

00:45:59: Because it all is relative, it all comes from rock, reggae, disco, you know, house, R&B, jazz, it all comes from all that, so.

00:46:09: Yep.

00:46:10: Just be open.

00:46:12: Don't stick to your guns too much.

00:46:14: Try to be open.

00:46:15: Obviously, everyone wants an identity.

00:46:18: You want to know, OK, this guy's a hip hop DJ, but he plays this, this, and that.

00:46:22: Or this is a rock DJ, but he plays this, this, and that.

00:46:26: You know what I'm saying?

00:46:27: Yep.

00:46:27: So

00:46:28: never put yourself in a box.

00:46:30: Always try to be open and available for different opportunities.

00:46:35: Yep, for sure.

00:46:37: you never know man.

00:46:38: I remember I had a teacher when I was like maybe twelve or eleven years old something like that.

00:46:44: you know I was just listening to hip-hop back then and I told him yeah I'm not really into rock music like that.

00:46:49: he said you listen to hip-hop and you don't like rock music so you don't like Run DMC you don't you don't like the Beastie Boys.

00:46:55: yeah that

00:46:56: made me think I was like oh shit it's right you know.

00:46:59: yeah

00:47:00: real shit you know what I mean and Even stuff like BDP, Big Beat, that's from ACDC.

00:47:12: I need a Big Beat.

00:47:13: You know what I mean?

00:47:15: So it's all tied together.

00:47:17: Qtip samples so much old soul and jazz.

00:47:22: You know, he changed the game so many times, you know what I mean?

00:47:25: It's like Rick Robin with the rock samples, you know?

00:47:29: Yep, yep.

00:47:30: Or even like Della, like Della would have sampled anything.

00:47:33: Yeah, man.

00:47:34: As long as it was fly.

00:47:37: You know what blew my mind?

00:47:38: Like a few years ago, I didn't realize that J. Della produced Make It Hurt by Buster

00:47:43: Ryan.

00:47:44: Yeah.

00:47:44: He did, he did a lot of songs for Busta Rhymes.

00:47:48: So a lot of early Busta Rhymes albums, if you really, you know, if you go past the singles, it's Dilla, it's Knotts, you know what I mean?

00:48:00: A Q-Tip, you know?

00:48:02: So the beats are crazy, bro.

00:48:04: He got so much Dilla stuff, man, so much Dilla stuff.

00:48:07: Every album he had, at least, one or two Dilla's.

00:48:12: and if you are real head and you know you are Dilla head and you love you know that style of production like definitely dive into those old Busta Rhymes albums.

00:48:22: man there's some stuff on there for real for

00:48:24: real.

00:48:24: Yeah, I remember a track he had with a track that was produced by Jay Dilla and he had Q-tape on the hook too.

00:48:31: I think Q-tape dropped the verse too.

00:48:33: Oh, the one

00:48:35: that can hold the torch, I think that's the name of it.

00:48:38: Oh yeah, oh my god.

00:48:39: Yeah, that was off the Big Bang, I think.

00:48:42: Yeah.

00:48:42: Yeah, oh my lord.

00:48:44: Yeah, that song with me is in Doug.

00:48:48: Yeah.

00:48:48: Busta still out here killing it.

00:48:50: You know, it's wild.

00:48:50: That's super dope right now.

00:48:52: is that it's really like the old, the older rappers that are really like holding it down right now for everything.

00:48:58: Like anything going on with hip hop is like an OG running shit.

00:49:02: You know what I mean?

00:49:02: So that's beautiful.

00:49:04: Beautiful.

00:49:05: That's what we needed.

00:49:06: That's what we needed really because it shows the young people that like it's not only a young man's game you know it's actually more of the season.

00:49:15: guys game you know yep

00:49:16: yep and one thing I like to see is when you have the old G's making music with the young ones too I like to see that.

00:49:23: you know

00:49:24: yeah I like that too.

00:49:25: I like that too a lot.

00:49:26: you know and then a lot of the guys that they're open to a lot of that as long as they're dope or they fit the mold of whatever you know.

00:49:32: even like a dude like say like push a T right.

00:49:35: um on his last solo album He got a song called, I think it's called Take It To The Top.

00:49:41: And he got that kid, Don Toliver.

00:49:43: He's like a R&B singer, but he raps too.

00:49:47: And he got Lil Uzi Vert rapping.

00:49:49: I'm like, bro, I would never in my life listen to Lil Uzi Vert rap.

00:49:54: And I'm like this on the Pusha album, you know what I mean?

00:49:58: And it's just like that.

00:50:00: If it fits, it fits, you know what I mean?

00:50:01: Even like Kendrick on Mr.

00:50:05: Morale.

00:50:06: He got a song with Kodak Black.

00:50:07: I would never listen to a Kodak Black rapping song.

00:50:11: But yo, he's killing it on there.

00:50:13: So I'm listening.

00:50:14: You know what I mean?

00:50:15: I like it.

00:50:16: So, you know, you just don't know.

00:50:19: A lot of people don't know what they don't like until they hear it.

00:50:23: You know what I'm saying?

00:50:25: So and what they like and what they like to know.

00:50:28: that happened to me with that last clips album, what they had a title of the creator on the track.

00:50:33: Exactly.

00:50:34: Exactly.

00:50:35: You know what I mean?

00:50:35: So.

00:50:37: Stuff like that is so important because it opens their audience to the older artists and it opens us to the younger artists.

00:50:47: So it's super important,

00:50:48: bro.

00:50:51: It's a little harder in the underground because there's not really a lot of heads that are doing what we do or what we did.

00:51:01: There's a few.

00:51:04: And there's a few that are dope enough that they can kind of slide to both sides, you know?

00:51:10: But you got to really dig, you know, and find them.

00:51:13: But they're there.

00:51:14: They're there, dude.

00:51:15: Like, what's the kid?

00:51:17: The kid Lord Scope that works with Static.

00:51:20: And that dude's a beast, you know?

00:51:21: He reminds me of like, like, Nineties Rap, you know what I mean?

00:51:26: And he's twenty.

00:51:27: Yep.

00:51:28: You know what I mean?

00:51:29: Because

00:51:29: he's been educated the right way.

00:51:32: Yeah, he's been cured.

00:51:32: He's been curated, you know, basically, and he lived in those in those spots and he'd be around the right people.

00:51:38: So it exists.

00:51:40: It exists.

00:51:40: You know, it's just.

00:51:42: it's just a little harder in the underground.

00:51:44: You just got to kind of like be in tune, you know.

00:51:47: For sure.

00:51:47: For sure.

00:51:48: You got to be surrounded by the right people, man.

00:51:50: That's it.

00:51:51: And you got to do your research.

00:51:52: You got to know, like, who's hot?

00:51:53: What's what's what's moving?

00:51:55: Who's the real dude from this city or this state or this area, you know?

00:52:00: Yeah.

00:52:01: There's some research involved, for sure.

00:52:04: Not everything just slides across the phone.

00:52:08: And that's the thing I think people get lost in.

00:52:10: is people think if they don't see it, then it didn't happen or it doesn't exist.

00:52:17: Yeah, you got to use your phone for more than just scrolling bro

00:52:22: All the tools that we have.

00:52:23: we know.

00:52:23: you

00:52:23: got all the tools man when I was a kid.

00:52:26: they used to tell us in school They'd be like you're not gonna have a computer in your pocket that tells you all the answers.

00:52:33: Meanwhile here we are and then and then the younger generation don't use it for that, you know like back in the day for instance right when we got a vinyl of anything or a CD of anything we're reading everything inside everything on the back trying to figure out who's who what's what right and now you have all the info right on your phone and people won't even do a search to find out anything.

00:52:59: yes because they're not passionate enough about the thing

00:53:03: but that's because the phone makes everything easy.

00:53:05: So, you know,

00:53:06: they don't feel like they need to look.

00:53:08: They don't feel like they don't need to do no research.

00:53:11: And that's a big problem, you know what I mean?

00:53:14: Everybody that's listening, make sure you do your research.

00:53:16: And if you really love the culture, the internet is the answer to everything.

00:53:21: So, you know, just do it.

00:53:23: Yeah, you gotta do it, man.

00:53:25: Because like, yo, I don't know if you ever watched like old two short interviews.

00:53:29: If you'd be like, yo, we didn't have no labels.

00:53:32: We're in the Bay.

00:53:34: There's nothing over here.

00:53:35: All the music's coming out of New York, which is on the whole other side of the country.

00:53:41: And what they would do is they would get whatever new vinyl they had.

00:53:45: They'd read all the stuff.

00:53:47: They'd turn it over.

00:53:48: They'd see the phone number for the labels on the back and call the labels and send their stuff there just to get a deal or have to try to get a deal.

00:53:57: Because they were like, this is the only way we have to any industry.

00:54:03: You

00:54:03: have

00:54:05: to have the guts to do

00:54:07: it.

00:54:07: Yeah, and you have to just do the work.

00:54:10: You can't cheat the work.

00:54:12: That's one thing too that the internet fools people on.

00:54:15: is that there's shortcuts.

00:54:17: And there's none, bro.

00:54:19: There's none.

00:54:19: You got to go out there.

00:54:20: You got to shake hands.

00:54:21: You got to be personable.

00:54:22: That's why getting back to the clips and the Cardi B thing, that's why they're winning and they're going to do good.

00:54:29: Because they're out there touching people and showing people what it is, you know?

00:54:36: Doing the groundwork.

00:54:37: Yeah, because like we say, you know, people are getting back to the authentic stuff.

00:54:40: They need that.

00:54:42: Yeah,

00:54:42: the internet is too much.

00:54:43: The internet is too much right now with the internet mixed with the AI.

00:54:49: people don't even want to talk to people.

00:54:51: now they're just sending like AI bots to people.

00:54:53: with this it's really crazy.

00:54:55: so people are to me.

00:54:57: people are just getting really really lazy.

00:55:00: and um that's a problem you know.

00:55:02: yep yep yeah you're right man we only have a few minutes left in this combo.

00:55:07: my bro do you have?

00:55:09: do you have any last words man for your fans out there across the globe?

00:55:13: um man europe For first, you know, that's why I really kind of understood, like, what we were doing.

00:55:25: You know what I mean?

00:55:28: Because obviously you see what's going on in America, you know, when we first started to tour, like, two thousand three, two thousand four, you know, but we're doing underground shows, we're traveling on the East Coast, not too much outside of there.

00:55:41: But once I got to Europe, a little bit later, I saw that it's like, oh, this is where it's like, it's where it's harvested, you know what I'm saying?

00:55:51: People still care how they used to care here.

00:55:56: And it's just like anything, it's just because the industry is here and all that, that people kind of gloss over it.

00:56:03: It's not just music, it happens with movies and TV shows.

00:56:06: here too, you know what I mean?

00:56:08: People are bootlegging stuff when they could just wait a little bit, you know?

00:56:13: Like for instance, I'll put it like this.

00:56:16: In America, we'll make the movie and in like a month, somebody will leak the DVD or whatever it was to streaming or whatever it was back in the day.

00:56:25: In Europe or in other parts of the world, they're waiting four months for that movie to come.

00:56:32: Because it's a different experience and they appreciate the art and they appreciate the effort into making great art.

00:56:42: You know what I mean?

00:56:42: So what I want to say to them is that like, you know, we haven't forgot about y'all.

00:56:48: We love y'all.

00:56:49: Anybody who's actually really, really in the industry or really doing anything knows what goes on overseas, like for real.

00:56:59: So like, you know, you guys are so important, you know, stay supporting.

00:57:03: Like, we love it.

00:57:04: You know what I mean?

00:57:06: And as you see, when you see American artists go out there, like, we give it up.

00:57:09: You know what I mean?

00:57:11: And we enjoy the love.

00:57:13: And we enjoy the love back.

00:57:14: So, you know, stay, stay, stay supported, man.

00:57:17: Hip hop is never going nowhere.

00:57:19: It's actually getting better because this is the first time we have people almost in their sixties still killing it.

00:57:28: Yup, yup.

00:57:29: Well, we can't

00:57:29: wait.

00:57:29: That's never happened.

00:57:30: We can't wait to see you out there again, man.

00:57:33: Yeah, man.

00:57:33: Like I said, hopefully early next year.

00:57:36: And then I got the single drop in in like a month or so.

00:57:39: I'm just getting all the fine details.

00:57:40: It'll probably be the artwork and the music first and then the music video.

00:57:45: And yeah, I got mixtape ideas coming, a new Sawa Power's coming with Redman and Gila and Wu Ting.

00:57:53: Hopefully me and Kappa Donna are back on the road in Europe early, two to twenty six.

00:57:58: And you know, we're staying busy, man.

00:57:59: We just did a ST reunion show a couple of weeks ago.

00:58:04: So me and the guys are going to start putting together a new project in the next couple of months.

00:58:09: So there'll be a new ST album next year.

00:58:11: There'll be a new Deadeye album next year.

00:58:14: Me and Term are going to do a Fifty Bodies in like November.

00:58:17: Another one.

00:58:19: He's got another like four or five albums dropping before the end of the year.

00:58:23: Okay, well, we'll be here to spin the records man.

00:58:26: Thanks for your time.

00:58:26: Oh,

00:58:27: yeah,

00:58:28: I appreciate

00:58:29: your brother much love.
