So I went through a similar exercise where 183 00:09:40.360 --> 00:09:42.960 I did like fifty songs and I chose the songs 184 00:09:42.960 --> 00:09:45.480 I was gonna go on the album from the fifty 185 00:09:45.559 --> 00:09:48.799 and I just figured how can I elevate each song? 186 00:09:48.960 --> 00:09:52.759 And part of the elevation was getting Future on a law, 187 00:09:53.080 --> 00:09:58.320 getting Coco on French tips, getting married on Chosen, and 188 00:09:58.360 --> 00:10:04.320 casting spells crazy, thank you appreciate you know, for New 189 00:10:04.399 --> 00:10:06.799 York rappers, like getting married Jay Blige on a song, 190 00:10:06.840 --> 00:10:09.080 that's a rite of passage. I don't think just for 191 00:10:09.200 --> 00:10:13.200 New York. I think that's the world. Like I don't 192 00:10:13.240 --> 00:10:15.559 care if you're an alien. If you get a married 193 00:10:15.679 --> 00:10:18.919 verse that's serious.

Unhappy? Yeah? That was That was the 197 00:10:27.519 --> 00:10:31.639 beginning of me being like super vulnerable. I was like, yeah, 198 00:10:31.679 --> 00:10:34.720 what can I what can I do to to really 199 00:10:34.919 --> 00:10:39.559 like So during this process there's so many layers to 200 00:10:39.639 --> 00:10:42.039 this album, Like to create this album, I started reading 201 00:10:42.039 --> 00:10:44.919 this book called The Artist's Way, which is a spiritual 202 00:10:44.960 --> 00:10:48.879 god for artists. And that book found me twice. The 203 00:10:48.960 --> 00:10:52.600 first time my girl had got it, Uh, she gave 204 00:10:52.639 --> 00:10:55.240 it to me and then I was like, I never 205 00:10:55.279 --> 00:10:56.919 really opened it. And then the second time it was 206 00:10:56.960 --> 00:10:59.120 during the pandemic when I moved to La. My cousin 207 00:10:59.200 --> 00:11:00.759 got it to me, and I'm like, oh, if this 208 00:11:00.799 --> 00:11:03.080 book made it to me twice, I got to open 209 00:11:03.120 --> 00:11:06.159 his book. So and he just randomly like he don't 210 00:11:06.200 --> 00:11:08.919 be getting me nothing. Yeah, I swear he do not 211 00:11:08.960 --> 00:11:12.919 get me nothing Christmas Birthday, but he just yeah, I'm like, 212 00:11:13.240 --> 00:11:17.600 let me randomly, like a random day. He just put 213 00:11:17.639 --> 00:11:19.279 it on my bed stand, and I'm like, let me 214 00:11:19.320 --> 00:11:21.600 look through this book. So I looked at it for 215 00:11:21.639 --> 00:11:24.600 you exactly. So I started reading the book, started doing 216 00:11:24.600 --> 00:11:27.919 the exercises, and what it is designed for you to 217 00:11:28.000 --> 00:11:31.240 do is to have practices every day like free write 218 00:11:31.360 --> 00:11:35.440 or take yourself on playdates to create your flow, because 219 00:11:35.519 --> 00:11:38.480 like sometimes it's as adults, we don't play anymore. We 220 00:11:38.480 --> 00:11:41.559 don't play with colors, we don't paint, we don't flip, 221 00:11:41.679 --> 00:11:44.159 we don't we think going to dinner is like fun, 222 00:11:44.480 --> 00:11:48.840 but that's actually a night out. It's not fun. So yeah, 223 00:11:48.919 --> 00:11:51.759 it's about pleasing it in a child and really creating 224 00:11:51.799 --> 00:11:55.600 your flow to unblock you. And that allowed me to 225 00:11:55.639 --> 00:11:58.600 be a little bit more open and vulnerable, and I said, 226 00:11:58.639 --> 00:12:01.360 you know what, this is actually fun. This is fun 227 00:12:01.399 --> 00:12:03.320 going to a place that a lot of people are 228 00:12:03.360 --> 00:12:06.240 scared to go to. And I started like embracing that 229 00:12:06.320 --> 00:12:08.000 more throughout the album. Why do you think people are 230 00:12:08.039 --> 00:12:11.240 scared to go there? Because they're scared to be ridiculed, 231 00:12:11.320 --> 00:12:13.799 Like people care what people think a little bit too much, 232 00:12:13.799 --> 00:12:17.320 and I think that stifles the artistry, Like because now 233 00:12:17.320 --> 00:12:20.600 we're you know, we're being black and white versus we 234 00:12:20.679 --> 00:12:24.360 can be pink, green, till tiffany blue, Like we can 235 00:12:24.399 --> 00:12:26.960 be so many different flavors, but you just want to 236 00:12:27.000 --> 00:12:35.240 be stuck here because of society and and standards and exactly. 237 00:12:35.320 --> 00:12:37.120 So it was a lot of under It was a 238 00:12:37.120 --> 00:12:39.480 lot of rewiring, a lot of therapy. It was a 239 00:12:39.519 --> 00:12:45.000 lot of just yeah, like I wanted to become a 240 00:12:45.039 --> 00:12:49.000 better person. First, well, I figured like I wanted to 241 00:12:49.039 --> 00:12:51.440 make great art, and I was like, what's holding me back? 242 00:12:51.759 --> 00:12:53.960 Like hold up, I gotta grow as a person. So 243 00:12:54.039 --> 00:12:57.559 I had to grow and we're here, Yeah, and we're here. 244 00:12:57.759 --> 00:13:01.320 Come onto.

I was working on 356 00:18:53.880 --> 00:18:56.839 a mixtape, and then I wound up going in with 357 00:18:56.960 --> 00:19:00.400 Pharrell to work on the album or a mix tape, 358 00:19:00.799 --> 00:19:02.720 and then we wound up just locking in and I'm like, 359 00:19:03.519 --> 00:19:05.480 you know, you just want to produce my album, and 360 00:19:05.519 --> 00:19:07.799 then we wound up like creating a whole album for 361 00:19:07.880 --> 00:19:10.319 like two years. We just and I think that was 362 00:19:10.359 --> 00:19:12.799 really like for us, it was really just fun to 363 00:19:12.960 --> 00:19:16.799 like create during this time where it was uncertain, like 364 00:19:17.079 --> 00:19:18.680 what was gonna happen. We didn't know who we was 365 00:19:18.720 --> 00:19:20.759 making that music for. We just had it in our mind. 366 00:19:20.799 --> 00:19:22.680 It was like, all right, when we get out of 367 00:19:22.720 --> 00:19:25.000 this situation, we're gonna make like this music is for 368 00:19:25.039 --> 00:19:28.200 when we get out of this situation. So, you know, 369 00:19:28.559 --> 00:19:32.759 between his move from Cali back to Miami and like 370 00:19:33.039 --> 00:19:35.119 him coming to New York, we rocking with each other. 371 00:19:36.279 --> 00:19:39.119 We created a great body of work, and we released 372 00:19:39.119 --> 00:19:41.839 two of the songs we released Green Juice and also 373 00:19:41.920 --> 00:19:45.559 paper Plates on Nego's album. But we still have an 374 00:19:45.599 --> 00:19:51.279 album that is ready to go. Yeah exactly. But the 375 00:19:51.400 --> 00:19:54.359 thing is when the world opened back up. It was 376 00:19:54.440 --> 00:19:58.640 new things to talk about. So I was just like, man, respectfully, 377 00:19:58.680 --> 00:20:00.759 I gotta like I got to go back in. I 378 00:20:00.799 --> 00:20:02.640 got to go back into the to the writing boards 379 00:20:02.640 --> 00:20:04.559 and let's just mix, you know what I mean, Let's 380 00:20:04.599 --> 00:20:07.559 do that. Yeah, but I just I just went. I 381 00:20:07.640 --> 00:20:10.559 originally went to far Rea to add on to this 382 00:20:10.640 --> 00:20:13.000 album that I created, but we wound up just making 383 00:20:13.000 --> 00:20:15.920 the whole project. You know what I'm saying. It was 384 00:20:15.920 --> 00:20:19.160 for this, It was for Darrow exactly. Yeah, Damn, that's crazy. 385 00:20:19.240 --> 00:20:20.720 And I feel like there's a mixed tape of marriage 386 00:20:20.720 --> 00:20:25.240 a Blige bro. I feel like it can be. I 387 00:20:25.240 --> 00:20:27.799 feel like it's I feel like I feel like, yeah, 388 00:20:27.799 --> 00:20:30.119 we could do so much. He's an actress. We could 389 00:20:30.160 --> 00:20:32.480 write some stuff together. We could write films, we could 390 00:20:32.599 --> 00:20:35.960 we could do so much. Okay, there's here. Yeah, there's 391 00:20:35.960 --> 00:20:40.400 a there's a forever ship like that you on this 392 00:20:40.480 --> 00:20:44.799 ship forever exactly know. 393 00:20:44.960 --> 00:20:47.079 I just think that, like Lecha was saying, like you're 394 00:20:47.519 --> 00:20:50.640 the way that you've channeled yourself into, like being who 395 00:20:50.680 --> 00:20:54.000 you truly are is like really inspirational. I think not 396 00:20:54.119 --> 00:20:56.680 a lot of like rappers, especially just put up a 397 00:20:56.720 --> 00:20:59.160 lot of a front where they don't want to show 398 00:20:59.160 --> 00:21:01.119 them true selves and they don't want to, like, you know, 399 00:21:01.599 --> 00:21:03.839 break out that boundary of showing people who they really are. 400 00:21:03.960 --> 00:21:06.759 I mean, it's scary. I'm pretty sure like every rapper 401 00:21:06.880 --> 00:21:09.519
