Speaker 3: up with the weights that you change over. If you
Speaker 3: can give up and bring my heart to pieces again,

Speaker 4: thank you?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 5: And you know what like over the weekend, you know,
Speaker 5: I was telling Jackie and cruise like yo, like I
Speaker 5: slapped the album twice.
Speaker 4: Yeah, you know what I mean.
Speaker 5: So I was like, cool, I want to integrate. Like
Speaker 5: a lot of the newer stuff that you put on,
Speaker 5: it was like you taste and a thing for you.
Speaker 4: Yeah, you know what I mean.
Speaker 1: That was so dope. I appreciate that so much. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I appreciate that.
Speaker 4: It's crazy, thank you. Alongside nobody exists, that's all you.
Speaker 4: Yeah you wrote that alone. Yeah, I did by yourself.
Speaker 4: So is that is that that a writing session with inspiration?
Speaker 4: Is that something you pulled, had to pull from? Did
Speaker 4: you have that ready to go?
Speaker 1: That was actually just me waiting on the other rider
Speaker 1: to get there. Yeah, I mean, because I really do
Speaker 1: love to co write. I would say like ninety percent
Speaker 1: of the album was me involved in the studio doing something,
Speaker 1: and then a couple songs were sent to me.
Speaker 4: Got a collab. I love collabor there's beauty and collaboration.
Speaker 1: I agree. But yeah, so there was just a beat.
Speaker 1: I was in the studio with London. I think we're
Speaker 1: in Miami and I was waiting on Poover to get there.
Speaker 1: He was late, and that's the period. But yeah, I
Speaker 1: was like, well what you guy? Let me just see
Speaker 1: what I get. Maybe I'll start an idea and then
Speaker 1: you know, we could finish it as a as a duo.
Speaker 1: But I just read the hell thing and I didn't
Speaker 1: even know what it was going to give. I was like, okay, period,
Speaker 1: you know, but then it just kept coming back up.
Speaker 4: Yeah, up, yeah.
Speaker 6: So would you say that you surprised yourself throughout this
Speaker 6: whole process of the album?
Speaker 1: I definitely do. I definitely do, because I think you know,
Speaker 1: when you you yourself are hardest on yourself. So I'm
Speaker 1: very like, very very emotional about the songs. I like
Speaker 1: them all and I can't pick and I don't want to,
Speaker 1: so I literally have like a notes out with my
Speaker 1: team and I'll just send the demos and then I'll
Speaker 1: just like close my ears and be like, oh, hope
Speaker 1: they like what I loved. But I don't say anything
Speaker 1: because I don't want them to say anything based on me.
Speaker 1: But when they don't react to something, I'm like a
Speaker 1: glass of wine. I guess literally, but I love all
Speaker 1: the songs, but yeah, I am. I do surprise myself.
Speaker 1: I think also I can't really tell like if it's good,
Speaker 1: because you know, when you're doing stuff, you're like I
Speaker 1: don't know if this is your yes, bro, yes, But
Speaker 1: so I just literally to my team to like react
Speaker 1: and see, and then they kind of show me what
Speaker 1: stuff is. Like everybody mutually agrees.
Speaker 4: It's like, for sure, almost beautiful design. That's a that's
Speaker 4: a rare.
Speaker 1: Future r R l f M Los Angeles, goddamn scared everybody,
Speaker 1: Sorry about that black.
Speaker 4: Hilarious, that's how hard equipment, but most beautiful design. That's future.
Speaker 4: That's a rare. That's a rare sighting of that side
Speaker 4: of future.
Speaker 1: Yeah right, that was crazy to me. I didn't know
Speaker 1: he was going to be, you know, the softer.
Speaker 4: Vulnerable he was coming with his toxic vibe dot com. Yeah,
Speaker 4: I thought.
Speaker 1: That, you know, that's what we know him for. But
Speaker 1: I really think it was London who like bridged that
Speaker 1: gap so sieously because he works with both of us
Speaker 1: very much, and he's built like a great chemistry. So
Speaker 1: I think he was able to kind of paint a
Speaker 1: picture of what I'm trying to do and what I'm
Speaker 1: trying to put on this album and make that world
Speaker 1: and figure out how to like bridge both of those
Speaker 1: gaps so that we could both like seamlessly fit on
Speaker 1: a record, because I really feel like we fit on
Speaker 1: that record really well, and.
Speaker 4: He came to see you, what you mean on that record,
Speaker 4: he came to see you.
Speaker 1: And now he definitely makes the world his you know.
Speaker 1: I was happy to have the very.
Speaker 4: But he wanted to meet you halfway, like kind of
Speaker 4: vibey thing. It definitely felt like a little bit wrong
Speaker 4: with that's growth as an artist.
Speaker 1: That was really really cool, really refreshing to see. And
Speaker 1: I was like really excited for like the culture to
Speaker 1: see that because we do a lot of toxic songs
Speaker 1: in rap and in R and B, like that's what
Speaker 1: we were doing. But it was really like a refreshing
Speaker 1: perspective on like being in love. And I feel like
Speaker 1: the rap R and B comm was like that used
Speaker 1: to be a thing, thing, thing and stuff, you know,
Speaker 1: you know, so I was happy to be able to
Speaker 1: do that on my debut album.
Speaker 4: Yeah Taste is like dope live Thank you paonomically sounds good, right,
Speaker 4: and it just feels good, I think, right.
Speaker 1: I definitely do. But I'm not even gonna hold you.
Speaker 1: That was the scariest song that I have ever released
Speaker 1: so far. Really, Yeah, I just didn't know if people
Speaker 1: were going to have adverse reacts. I mean people did.
Speaker 1: It was like you either loved it or you did
Speaker 1: not want to see me like that. You did not
Speaker 1: want to see me all sensual and not belting and
Speaker 1: you know, singing my heart out. So I was nervous,
Speaker 1: you know. I tried hello, like I did the Disney
Speaker 1: Channel thing for like half my upbringing, so like, I
Speaker 1: really be on my pop ship too. I'm both of
Speaker 1: those things, you know. So I wanted to be able
Speaker 1: to show that. And that's kind of the premise of
Speaker 1: why not More's like I felt like, Okay, people do
Speaker 1: know me for this. Should I just stay there? Is
Speaker 1: that what people want? Is that the safe thing to do?
Speaker 1: But then I was like, dang, I got these other things.
Speaker 1: I got other influences. I'm from Nashville. I want to
Speaker 1: do something a little country. I did the pop thing.
Speaker 1: I love Brittany, I want to do that too, And
Speaker 1: so that kind of led to me asking myself, why
Speaker 1: couldn't I do that? And all the answers I feel
Speaker 1: like they were just rooted in fear. So I had
Speaker 1: to just do it.
Speaker 4: Yeah, you gotta jump, you gotta jump, you know? Is
Speaker 4: mom okay? With some of the lyrics.
Speaker 1: No, No, she's not okay, but you know she's a mom.
Speaker 1: She loves her kids and she's just going to be
Speaker 1: the wise counselor you know what I'm saying. As we
Speaker 1: grow up, we got to learn things our way as
Speaker 1: she did too.
Speaker 4: But yeah, yeah, they did some things to get us
Speaker 4: here dot com.
Speaker 1: Let's not elaborate, all.
Speaker 6: Right, because like even with on radio, Like my parents
Speaker 6: learned so much about me through radio because we put
Speaker 6: our lives out there. And sometimes my mom will text me,
Speaker 6: She's like what, I'm like, you could change you could
Speaker 6: change the dial.
Speaker 1: No, I'm like, you start listening to soundscapes. So no,
Speaker 1: but my mom understands, like, I'm still figuring myself out
Speaker 1: and coming into my own and I have the songs
Speaker 1: for every person I know. I have the young girlies
Speaker 1: I know, I have like the older people who love
Speaker 1: my voice for that nostalgic feeling. So I have. I
Speaker 1: have Here we Go, I have other side of love.
Speaker 1: I have all the different things for you know whoever's listening.
Speaker 4: Did yo? So here you go? Went? Gold? Congratulations?
Speaker 7: Thank you?
Speaker 4: I was crazy. It's a Lenny Williams song, right twisted
Speaker 4: did it as well? Right, But like Lenny, did your
Speaker 4: dad ever put you onto music like Lenny Williams.
Speaker 1: My dad and my mom definitely put me on. My dad, Yeah,
Speaker 1: for sure. My dad claimed that he was the DJ
Speaker 1: back in his day. I'm like, I don't even literally,
Speaker 1: I'm like, where's thy turntable? Hello? But he definitely did
Speaker 1: put me onto like slick rig and like super old
Speaker 1: like DMC, like super old like rap. That was like
Speaker 1: his prime of life, you know. And my mom was
Speaker 1: like the ballads. She was the Whitney Houston, the Mariah Carey.
Speaker 1: She was the this is the audition song you've been
Speaker 1: a sing you know what I'm saying. So definitely two
Speaker 1: different perspectives of music.
Speaker 4: A lot of sounds. You know, your parents or your
Speaker 4: family they own a funeral home business.
Speaker 1: Yeah right, yeah, on my mom's side, they've had this
Speaker 1: family funeral home for generations. Like I just know that
Speaker 1: it's like part of our history.
Speaker 4: You ever worked there?
Speaker 1: I did not work there, but I did. I sang
Speaker 1: at a couple of things.
Speaker 4: We have to coming up. We got to audience you're performing.
Speaker 1: I'm like, not the crowd I was looking for, But
Speaker 1: the show will go on. It's a crowd on the less,
Speaker 1: you know, tough crowds, crowd.
Speaker 4: Like shuddering, But you're singing over sniffles, you're singing over crying,
Speaker 4: You're singing over emotion, and.
Speaker 1: It's definitely real. It's definitely real. And I do think
Speaker 1: that those type of environments, I would say, like more
Speaker 1: gospel and church environments than that is what I've experienced.
Speaker 1: But that feeling of like needing to be a vessel
Speaker 1: for people to get that uplifting feeling has been a
Speaker 1: reason why I've gotten here.
Speaker 4: So for sure, I heard being around death gives you
Speaker 4: a certain strength that most people may not have or
Speaker 4: be able to receive in their lifetime because they see
Speaker 4: it at its end, right, and they see life at
Speaker 4: its end, and that gives you like a I don't know,
Speaker 4: like a gratitude, like a sense of gratitude, a bigger
Speaker 4: sense of gratitude. Is that true?
Speaker 1: Well, you know what, I'm not around death to that
Speaker 1: much of a degree. That's all my mama's side. And
Speaker 1: they open are in South Carolina getting down like that.
Speaker 1: But I will say when you come into an area
Speaker 1: like church, like that's what I was raised in, singing
Speaker 1: in the church, and there is a sort of like
Speaker 1: a need for healing there that's very heavy to carry
Speaker 1: as a kid. But you kind of just like connect
Speaker 1: with God. Like that's where I feel like your purpose
Speaker 1: comes in, because to make people feel and to make
Speaker 1: that to tie those spirits together, like you know what
Speaker 1: I'm saying, Like I know exactly what you're feeling, and
Speaker 1: to uplift people in a way like spiritually, that would
Speaker 1: have to be you know, being purposeful, letting God use
Speaker 1: you as a vessel, which I think that feeling carries
Speaker 1: over into my music. Now.
Speaker 6: You know, outside of the family, ever been to a
Speaker 6: psychic medium being that they like you know, are around
Speaker 6: death so.
Speaker 3: Much girl.
Speaker 1: Respectful, right, So there's a lot of similarities. We ain't
Speaker 1: down with that though, we don't roll on that side.
Speaker 1: We keep it up. Have a good one. Praise God,
Speaker 1: see you in the glory. That hilarious, so funny. That
Speaker 1: does remind me of the story. So when I first
Speaker 1: moved to La I was literally like just coming out
Speaker 1: of being like in this very contained box like you're
Speaker 1: in the Disney thing, and I was very sheltered some
Speaker 1: people I did not have the normal experience. I really
Speaker 1: also didn't want to like rebel. I just wanted to
Speaker 1: work seriously. So when I came out here and I
Speaker 1: moved out here as an adult, I graduated early at seventeen,
Speaker 1: I was like actually living for the first time ever.
Speaker 1: And I remember I had this friend and she was
Speaker 1: super into like all of the witcheryas and whatnot. And
Speaker 1: I was like, ooh, girl, that ain't my truth. But
Speaker 1: we went to this one little like halloween thing and
Speaker 1: she was like, oh, we should get our cards read.
Speaker 1: I was like, okay, girl, We did that, and then
Speaker 1: I literally called my mom. I was like, Mom, pay
Speaker 1: for me. For me, girl, I have my cards right.
Speaker 1: I was so sorry. I was so damn scared. We
Speaker 1: do not be clear like that. Yeah, literally hilarious.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 1: I was like it was too spooky for me. It
Speaker 1: was giving Halloween town Halloween. I was like, let me
Speaker 1: move out. Three hell all three?
Speaker 2: All three.
Speaker 1: I was like, it's too much.
Speaker 4: No, no, I feel it. Yeah, you don't want to
Speaker 4: learn stuff. It's like going to the doctor. I guess right,
Speaker 4: for you know, it's like learning stuff. It's like I
Speaker 4: don't I wish I didn't learn that because now I
Speaker 4: got to deal with Jay.
Speaker 1: We do need to go to the door.
Speaker 4: I know, I know, I know. Mexicans don't go to
Speaker 4: the doctor, like we don't want to we wait till
Speaker 4: it now.
Speaker 7: Mexican men don't be going to the Mexican.
Speaker 4: Men don't go to the like.
Speaker 1: That's a lot of men. Wh Why don't y'all care
Speaker 1: about your health?
Speaker 5: We do.
Speaker 4: We just you know, we're gonna figure it out.
Speaker 7: They be scared of needles, they be scared of they
Speaker 7: just do.
Speaker 1: Y'all believe that most men are like low ky babies.
Speaker 1: They're just grown little little babies. Okay, period, I'll be
Speaker 1: scared of that. You agree yourself.
Speaker 4: We're children. We're all children in the world. We're all
Speaker 4: children trying you know, I know right well, were only
Speaker 4: the ones to grow up part of women totally. I
Speaker 4: mean when does a woman grow up?
Speaker 3: Right?
Speaker 1: I mean, let's get real.
Speaker 4: Was your was your brother like the like the golden
Speaker 4: child was he could he not do no wrong? Yeahs,
Speaker 4: you had to make your own plate l L.
Speaker 1: It wasn't that dramatic. I'm the confrontation queen. I'd be like,
Speaker 1: let's sit down and talk about this because I'm feeling unheard. No,
Speaker 1: I definitely feel like there's this thing with like moms
Speaker 1: and sons to where they're like my son for the.
Speaker 4: Reason, Hello, why what's worried about you guys? Where are
Speaker 4: the protectors protecting them?
Speaker 7: You're protect health, you're.
Speaker 4: Defense, and somebody breaks into the house. We're the first
Speaker 4: ones who approached the danger, not y'all.
Speaker 7: Nico and I.
Speaker 6: Who has a bat by their bedside? Yeah, but that's
Speaker 6: not your best side?
Speaker 7: I got that.
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, Yeah, it's so cute. So anytime I'm not
Speaker 5: at the crib or DJing anywhere else, she keeps a
Speaker 5: knife by her bedside because she's.
Speaker 1: Not playing around. Yeah, I think anybody needs to get slizz. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's real.
Speaker 7: Out here, all hidden throughout.
Speaker 4: The right, that's right, the title track why not morey
Speaker 4: G Marley, Right, that's the man. What a vibe and
Speaker 4: so smart. I think, what a smart collab there.
Speaker 1: Thank you? Yeah, I mean I really am glad that
Speaker 1: it worked out like that. You know, with artists, it's like,
Speaker 1: oh my god, we should work together, y'all, don't worry
Speaker 1: never bro right. No, but actually this was a very
Speaker 1: like seamless collapse and why so dope, Like he just
Speaker 1: good vibes. So I was honored to be able to
Speaker 1: like make that work with him, and I think also
Speaker 1: why not more? The song is the sentiment of the
Speaker 1: album in a way too, because like R and B,
Speaker 1: but I'm on like this like Island Vibe, like these
Speaker 1: are things that I was like, dang, this is out
Speaker 1: the box and this is something different than what I've
Speaker 1: done before. But I feel like when am I supposed
Speaker 1: to teach the audience that I'm all of these different things?
Speaker 1: It's not now, you know.
Speaker 5: And also too, it was a good break between the
Speaker 5: album because it was R and B and then you
Speaker 5: get the YG Marley song and then it's R and
Speaker 5: B outterwards. I'm like, cool, it's like a good like refresher.
Speaker 1: That's real, that's real. How don't say that?
Speaker 4: What's up?
Speaker 1: How's that? Are you excited about that? I'm so excited,
Speaker 1: literally going to rehearsals right after this in the car.
Speaker 1: I'm so excited. I think this time I'm way more
Speaker 1: intentional because I know that that's an important thing to consider.
Speaker 1: I feel like with the EP it was kind of like,
Speaker 1: oh my gosh, I have all of this relevancy again.
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, I have a show. Now I'm signed again.
Speaker 1: I'm an adult. I don't want to mess this up.
Speaker 1: Everybody picked for me, so literally, down to the color scheme,
Speaker 1: I didn't pick a thing. I didn't want to because
Speaker 1: I didn't want to be wrong. And I also was like,
Speaker 1: how does this work as an adult versus me being
Speaker 1: signed at fourteen and not knowing anything to now being
Speaker 1: grown and being like what do I need to learn here?
Speaker 1: Like this is a real business. So I was kind
Speaker 1: of figuring it out. But this time on the tour,
Speaker 1: I've learned, Okay, everything has to come from me. So
Speaker 1: what am I? What do I want? What do I
Speaker 1: want to say? Who do I want to be? And
Speaker 1: how do I want that world to be built out?
Speaker 1: So I'm really really happy with like the aesthetics, the choreo,
Speaker 1: the music, it all is coming from me this time.
Speaker 4: There you go. You're on TikTok. Your countdown to the
Speaker 4: album drop was serious, like it was real. Yeah, And
Speaker 4: I think day two You're like, yo, I'm mourning. I'm
Speaker 4: in mourning. What was that about?
Speaker 1: I don't know.
Speaker 4: I was like, was it a shehad? Maybe I think
Speaker 4: you were shedding maybe a layer.
Speaker 1: It felt like all of that for real, all of that,
Speaker 1: the girl, that I was for this because I take
Speaker 1: this stuff so seriously, like this is my life and
Speaker 1: it's not a game. I really only get the one
Speaker 1: opportunity to do a first anything for real, and you know,
Speaker 1: as an adult you have less and less first you
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. So it was so important to
Speaker 1: me and I'm and I'm so like critical of myself.
Speaker 1: Is this really the best work I could do? Is
Speaker 1: it's really the best thing that I could really put
Speaker 1: on here? You know what I'm saying. That I really
Speaker 1: impress myself, you know what I'm saying. So I think
Speaker 1: when it was finally done, there was such a relief
Speaker 1: that I just wanted to cry, you know, because I'd
Speaker 1: been carrying this like burden and it's my job, no
Speaker 1: complaining out here, you know what I'm saying. But it's
Speaker 1: like a heavy pressure. Like, girl, I'm sure when you
Speaker 1: ran that marathon you was ready to cry because like
Speaker 1: you did, you know, that was like a perfect analogy.
Speaker 1: I ain't ran no marathon. I don't plan on doing that.
Speaker 1: It felt like really yes, yes, yes, it's the reflection too.
Speaker 1: It's the reflection of like those critical times where you're
Speaker 1: like pushing past the most uncomfortable feelings like I am
Speaker 1: not going to do anything half assed, so like I
Speaker 1: would try everything. I would try sessions with new people
Speaker 1: I didn't know, I didn't know if it was going
Speaker 1: to mean anything, and I would push past, like we're
Speaker 1: not vibing, this is not chemistry. But I love this
Speaker 1: track and I don't want to waste this track. So
Speaker 1: what do I do? You know, like all of these
Speaker 1: uncomfortable scenarios of like go in and re record that again,
Speaker 1: and I'll rerecord it again. It wasn't hidden. It's like
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying, Like all of the things
Speaker 1: you do to make something great, you just be like ah,
Speaker 1: Like when it's finally over, it's like that pressure is lifted.
Speaker 6: Yes, And I also feel too, like when you like
Speaker 6: let out those emotions like crying or whatever it may be,
Speaker 6: like frustration, anger, you tend to go back and be
Speaker 6: like those are the parts of your life that you
Speaker 6: just kind of remember in increments where you're just like, Okay,
Speaker 6: I remember I got through that, and I can keep
Speaker 6: on going.
Speaker 4: Yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I definitely was so grateful too, like grateful that I've
Speaker 1: been raised by parents who have taught me like it's
Speaker 1: gonna be hard. It's going to be hard, and that's
Speaker 1: just how it is, you know. So it doesn't make
Speaker 1: me scared like maybe I ain't got it no more,
Speaker 1: maybe I can't write another song like maybe. But it's
Speaker 1: gonna be hard though, because that to compete with yourself
Speaker 1: and like to already do something good that's out in
Speaker 1: the world that people constantly are into and compare and
Speaker 1: you know what that did, and to have that pressure
Speaker 1: when you're like, Okay, now, how do I do that again?
Speaker 1: But I'm not going to be able to copy that
Speaker 1: exact same thing, but it has to feel that same way.
Speaker 1: It's just like, it's no joke. It's no joke. I
Speaker 1: felt like a scientist. Oh for real, Literally, that's insane.
Speaker 4: So there's got to be like a pile of songs
Speaker 4: to pick from, right, yeah, and then a certain amount
Speaker 4: makes the project right. And what happens to the other songs?
Speaker 4: They're puot on hold you go back to them.
Speaker 1: Some I mean, it's all types of stuff. Some of
Speaker 1: them are shopped out for like other artists, Like some
Speaker 1: of the producers are like, hey, can we shop this
Speaker 1: out because we you know, we really like it and whatnot.
Speaker 1: And I'm like, yeah, for sure, unless I'm like, hold
Speaker 1: on to that one, brother. Sometimes they're revisited, Like I
Speaker 1: have my oldest song, the Other Side of Love. The
Speaker 1: oldest sign on this album is like three or four
Speaker 1: years old. It was one of the first songs that
Speaker 1: I ever did when I first got signed to the
Speaker 1: Deaf Jam High Standards, and at the time, it wasn't
Speaker 1: it wasn't time for it to come out on the EP,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean saying like people needed to
Speaker 1: understand me a little bit more. But yeah, so you
Speaker 1: revisit some of them and some of them, I don't know.
Speaker 1: I don't know what happens to right right, No, literally,
Speaker 1: but you never know. Like I heard this interview with
Speaker 1: Sabriena Cardio, I think, and she was talking about a
Speaker 1: song she wrote like twenty ten or something that's now
Speaker 1: will Beyonce song, Like you know, anything happen, you never know,
Speaker 1: you know, you never know.
Speaker 4: That'd be crazy, right, Like yo, No, literally, I'm like, you.
Speaker 1: Need this hard drive friend, I will shoebop you bop.
Speaker 7: Overnight, I personally to get to your studio.
Speaker 4: Hello. The title why not more with a question mark?
Speaker 4: So it's a question. Yeah, so why why why call
Speaker 4: the album that?
Speaker 1: Well, for me myself, I wanted people to to kind
Speaker 1: of understand where my head's at with this album. I'm
Speaker 1: not trying to say that I know this formula and
Speaker 1: I fully have myself figured out that is not what
Speaker 1: I am right now. Right now, I am a lot
Speaker 1: of different and things and I gotta fine tune it
Speaker 1: with time. So hopefully what people take away from this
Speaker 1: album is like, Okay, Coco understands that this is a
Speaker 1: development thing. This is my first and I am I'm
