Welcoming in on the podcast for real. Motherfucking Desi De Niro. Big De Niro. Big Global. Big Global. Big global s***. The real one. Man, this episode has been in the works for I think about 30 weeks. Give the quick synopsis. probably since episode three. Yeah. Henry with a three here. There's no one that's a bigger supporter, I would say, than our guy Desi. That's my bro. That's right. Deeper than music, bro. That's right. Exactly. They they go way back. Yep. Deeper than deeper than rap. And he's obsessed with the fact that Henry spells his name with a three. Oh no, cap. That's hard. No one is more supportive about me changing the E to a three than this man right here. Exactly. He forgets sometime. I had to get on his ass, but it's like he does it more than me. Yeah. Like it's it's unbelievable. And so we had already, you know, booked up someone for episode three.

1:59

Apologies. But he made it very made it very clear he was demanding that he was gonna be episode 33, which is twice as epic as episode three. Yes. When it comes to this three shit. Because it's two threes. The fact that we made it here, guys, and you're still listening is a fucking blessing. So we appreciate you coming on, man. For sure, bro. Appreciate y'all having me. Yeah, definitely. So we're gonna dive right in. So paint us a picture of the environment that you were in kind of growing up. Like, you know, like childhood and exactly, yeah. Shit, like ghetto poverty type environment. Uh it wasn't all bad, of course, but like just a real small town, poverty, not too many like people there. Definitely not no rich people there. You you walking outside, you might see anything, shit. You hearing anything, you see crackheads, Jockeys, Alki's walking up the street, seeing trapping in front of you early, and shit. You seeing all type of shit.

2:56

That shit was cool, though. You know, it got it ups and downs to it. And I think that's reflected in you know your original group's name. Yeah, for sure. Section eight. Shout out, Section Eight. Okay. Yeah, so I mean, it was just you and your mom, right? Yeah, it was just me and my mom and the house. Yep. Did you like step up and become like the man of the house? Or like was it you and your brothers, or kind of like how'd you guys support her? I got three brothers, but we all uh, well, two of them got the same mom, but like we got different moms. So, like my mom got two kids, me and my sister. Okay, and we got different dads, but my dad, the one with six kids. Okay, yeah. Okay, he's pumping them out. Yeah, he got four different baby moms. That we know about. That we know. He claimed. He got a couple kids in China. Shout out my dad though. Shout out Yeah, so I mean, you were like in the country, yeah. This is like country, Georgia. Like this an hour and a half East of Atlanta. Yeah. And I mean, we can hear in your voice. You got the twang. Yeah. For Sure. That's all though. The women love it. Yeah, that's true. That's right. But see, you were kind of nerdy as a kid though.

3:54

I feel like I wouldn't even say nerdy. I say more smart. Okay. But like you were into kind of some like. But I say nerdy though, like as far as like grade wise, yeah, I was smart though, but like not nerdy as in like personality wise. Yeah, you know, his report card was nerdy. Yeah. He did. But yeah, what were some of the things that you were into that were kind of like on the, you know, kind of more nerdy front, if you will. Growing up. Yeah. Shit. I don't even consider it nerdy, but I know the world considered it nerdy and shit. Like I uh grew up like like an anime and shit like that. Mm-hmm. Cartoons, uh shit. I actually like to used to read books. I still do sometimes like read when I was little. I know everybody gonna say that shit nerdy goddamn. Uh yeah, I mean you were like trading Yu-Gi-Oh! cards and shit. Oh yeah, I did have Yu-Gi-Oh! cards and all that. Like Transformers and shit. Like this guy's not he's not telling the whole the whole nerd story. Yeah, that's that's real shit. Actually, that transformer shit got some deep shit to it. But uh what I was trying to say, oh yeah, back to the other shit we was talking about. Yeah, I used to steal them Yu-Gi-Oh! cards out of Walmart because my mom come find them shit.

4:51

So that's not as nerdy. No. Balances it out there. I think he breaks even on the nerd scale there. Yeah, that's that's funny. So I mean, you know, to your point, it kind of carried on though, like you being smart. And you were you were definitely This is a smart ass guy right here. you were definitely like excelling in school. Yeah, for sure. You know, up through high school. I mean, you were taking like AP classes and stuff, like honor classes, like you weren't slacking off in school. Did school come easy to you? Yeah, that shit came easy. Like, I don't even like school like that. Yes, you weren't like working hard towards it, really. Hell, no, like that shit just came easy, and I was like, shit, all right, I gotta fucking be here. Let me get this shit out of the way, goddamn. So I caught on to that shit. Let me knock this shit out, go do what I want to do, type shit. Yeah. Love it. He makes it sound so easy, whereas some people just struggle, even like really studying and doing their homework. Yeah. What they used to be hating on me too. That's crazy. Yeah, but they they gotta hate, like, they're jealous, like it probably, right? Yeah. This guy, some people putting in their full effort and getting C minuses. Yeah, man. How the hell when the teacher called their name to reading class.

5:52

Oh, shit. Crazy. Not the reading out loud. No cap. So tell us about Project Generation D. Okay. That came when we got to high school. It was like this after school program. I think we had got a grant or something through the um whatever county or whatever. Uh and this dude, great dude, I still in touch with his name Reggie Perry Jr. He goes by nobody famous on as his producer name, he'll produce as well. Okay. He came up with this idea called Project Generation D, where he wanted to teach us digital media production, a part of that rapping. But he taught us how to make beats. He taught us rapping, he taught us, well, not rapping, but like, you know what I'm saying? He taught us about rapping, hip hop. He taught us about the business side of music too. Like, that was so important, like everything. And like, that's how I learned how to first work GarageBand, Then on the logic and Ableton and everything like that. Like, he a real good dude. I was talking to him the other day. To a group of people that otherwise might not have had any type of access or knowledge and have no idea. A lot of people from where we from that's they probably the only time they ever got to go be on my microphone, talk.

6:53

Yeah, like somebody hear them. You know what I'm saying? Was Project Generation D. Yeah, for sure. Especially because I mean at this time it was still not as accessible to record, probably, right? Like, it really wasn't. Like this. Yeah, like you needed to be true. Back then it, yeah, you had to be It's not like super old, but it's also not like just out of high school. So like you can't get a cracked version of Pro tools and go crazy. Like, you know, you didn't have the iPhone maybe to even record. Nah, I remember like iPhones was just coming out, just coming out, right? Like, yeah, because you're my age. And so I feel like it was definitely something where, especially if you were in you know, poorer, you know, circumstances. I feel like that was like, yeah, that must have been awesome to be able to get exposed to that. Yeah, for sure. It was an amazing experience. I'll never forget it. Like, that was great. Like, it didn't, like it give you a place to go where you're away from, like, you know what I'm saying? Outside where you know what I'm saying, anything can happen after school and shit. You just know what I'm saying. That's what you know, a lot of coming up happening, you know what I'm saying? But that shit give give everybody an outlet, you know what I'm saying? A safe place to be for the kids who definitely didn't have nowhere else to go.

7:55

We weren't gonna have shit else. So that's like a big part of my life. Like, I appreciate that for real. Shout out, Reggie. Yeah, shout out Reggie. Yeah, was it at school? Yeah, it was at school. So he would just like pull up and like With the gear. Yeah. pull up with his gear and everything. Like he came from out of town to do this. Yeah, and then like it grew bigger too. Like it expanded to different schools, like, but we was like the first though, you know what I'm saying? So that's always gonna be special. Is he still doing it? Oh, he's he's actually about to start it back up. Oh, I don't even know if I say that type shit, but like, you know what I'm saying? One more time exclusive. We love a one more time exclusive. One more time. You know, there's a lot of stuff in the works. Definitely always looking for ways to give back and everything. Is he from Union Point? Nah, he not. He from I don't want to mistake, I think like Flowery Branch, Georgia, up in that area. North So how did it, how did it come to like your school? I don't even know how he found it, like I have no idea how he found us on the map. Like, that's crazy. Yeah, I gotta ask on that. I'm gonna ask on that. Okay, yeah, because he got a map of Georgia and like through and out. like it was meant to be like, where the fuck is Union? Okay, we're gonna go.

8:54

Let's go. Yeah, I mean, cause cause the program, so it was like learning the basics of production and then like the music business, fundamentals. Yup. And then he also like gave you opportunities too. I mean, you guys got to perform. No, we got to uh not just hit talent shows at school, like he didn't took us to A3C. He plugged us into A3C. Everybody can't even perform at A3C. I guess on big artists, medium artists, like we young guys. It's the biggest hip hop festival in Atlanta. Yeah, like, oh, what's that called? South by it's the South by Southwest of Atlanta. Mm-hmm. Yeah, like he put us on that. Like, we up there with some everybody. I don't forgot, like, uh the business, the producer group was there. I don't who was yeah, it was a lot of people. I love that tag. That was like one of the first fire tags. A3C fire. Did you know that you wanted to do music then, like from that program? Yeah, not even from that program, bro. Like, crazy. Like, I remember recording my first song. I was like in second grade, type shit. Oh, really?

9:49

Second grade? Hell, yeah. I don't remember what the fuck I said, but I remember recording like myself rapping type shit. Like on a tape though, like a cassette tape. Ooh. Hell, yeah, yeah. Like I got my like I had two stereos and I put them motherfuckers in front of each other, right? I got one of my mama blank cassette tape, and then I had my 50 cent CD to get Rich or Die Tryin' on. Yeah, so I got that. I'm rapping over 50 Cent words and everything. It's like shit, probably. On top of his vocals. Yeah, but I pressed play and record on that motherfucker and had the microphone on the other machine recording, and I was able to rap on it. Yeah, Play it back. It's like, yeah. I love it. I love the drive, man, determination. And just the like resourcefulness. Yeah, right. And innovative, like, yeah, I would have never thought to do it that way. Young MacGyver, you dig? Yeah. Young MacGyver in the making. Yeah. Did you think you wanted to be a rapper at that point? Yeah, that's a good question. At that point, I wasn't really like probably not thinking I was gonna be no rapper. Nah, because I wanted to be like probably like three things before that in life, though. I was just What'd you want to be. Let me see if I remember Astronaut. The first one. That was one on for sure. For sure. I knew it. Astronaut. Firefighter. Hell no, I don't want to be no firefighter. I don't remember the order, but I know when I was young as hell. I wanted

10:44

to be an astronaut or lawyer. Hell, what's the other shit I wanted to be? I can't even remember. But a rapper came shortly after that. I just knew I wanted to get some money and be rich and live better than I lived growing up, like real shit. Who did you see from your hometown like becoming successful? With music? No, just in general. Like, were there people that were making it out of where you came from? And if so, what how were they doing it? I ain't even gonna say make it out because I ain't really see nobody making it out when I was young. But like Damn. hell yeah, I ain't really see nobody making it out. My um, my big sister though, like she uh she went to school, like college, and uh did well for herself. So like she was able to make it out, like the situation, you know what I'm saying? Yeah, but she's like she older than me, but like you know what I'm saying. So I saw that. That was definitely uh positive inspiration. And like my dad, like I grew up like with my mom and everything, but like my dad would like always come around and shit, you know. Well, not always come around, so like it's crazy.

11:46

Yeah, okay, don't let me give you too much credit, though. Nah, like my dad got his own business and type shit. Like, he a hardworking man, like that's where I get my hustling and shit from, but like, you know what I'm saying? He'll show up in emergency times and I always come peel my mama off some money and type shit when she needed and type shit, you know what I'm saying? When we down bad, but that's good. But I always seen my dad with money and shit. So, like, that was like one of the first things I seen too, like in like, oh, money, yeah. This is how people treat my dad, this type of reaction. My dad, I want money in life so I can be able to live how I want to live and do what I want to do, I want to do it, type shit. You know, you mentioned your sister going to college. You end up going to try to pursue a degree at a UGA, right? Like after you hell yeah, like shortly after high school. Um, I got I got accepted into like 17 different colleges, except the one I except the one I want to go to, though. Ah I wanted to go to Tech. But yeah, so you go to in, you know, to try and pursue your degree. I mean, I think you were going under the impression though that you were gonna have like a job locked down and be able to like pay your way, You're, like listening to everybody, like this is what you're supposed to do. Like this is the path. Like, you're gonna do this for four years in here, you finna get your six-figure job type situation.

12:49

It's not that easy, kids. It's not that easy. It's Not it's not that simple, cut and dry. Listen up, kids. No cap for real. I can't tell you not to go, it's definitely a great experience. But hey, do what you want to do, just make sure you got a plan. Make sure you got a plan. I'm gonna say that shit twice. And do what you want to do and pursue what make you happy. Say it one more time. Do what you want to do and make sure you do what makes you happy. Be a little selfish with your life for sure. Yeah. But like, how much did you take advantage of the media program studio Oh, at UGA? Yeah. Oh yeah, I used to be in that motherfucker. Yeah, Dre was in there with me too and everything. Was that your first time having like regular access to recording equipment in like a studio? Nah, cause like before that, before I even went to college, uh, I had hustled up. Me and Dre actually together, we had hustled up some money and bought our own studio equipment and shit. So we had the best. Oh, real shout studio, yeah. Like a little M audio box. Yo, like an audio interface. Yeah, I forgot what it's called. Like, audio two or whatever. The blue thing? The AKG. AKG mic. Yep. Yep. The condenser mic.

13:46

Yep. Yep. So like that's when you started making a lot of rapper. A lot of music. Yeah. Got that to trap. And that was you and Dre. Me and Dre. I feel like you guys go way back. We do. We done had a couple, you know, other homes come in and try to, you know, try it out a little bit, but like we stayed down. Yeah, so it's it's been y'all two that have made it through the like ups and downs, I guess, of just yeah, general personal relationships and business shit and music shit, whatever. Cause that's hard, man. I mean, people fall out. Like, yeah, like especially in this music shit, I feel like it's easy to fall out because it's such a like sensitive emotions and shit. Yeah, you want to be creative and feel like you can just do your thing and express yourself, and then there's this business side where it's like, okay, let's feed our families too, and they just don't mix well. And even if it's just on the like be creative shit that you're kind of like, you know, sarcastically pointing at, right? No, I love that sound. No, but even if it's just that, take the business out of it. I'm always interested, like just creatives in general, being able to be creative alongside someone for that long. Like inevitably, you're gonna like butt heads, like creative.

14:51

Yeah, we always respect each other though, type shit. So, like, we have a disagreement. Hey, we're gonna speak on the disagreement, but like we can get it out, you know, fall out about it. I think the best people the best people that do it creatively are the people that can kind of like compete with each other in like a friendly way. Yeah, you know, it's like if you can kind of like make a competition out of it and be like, you know, like a rival, like a friendly rival, you know, you make each other better, but like at the same time, like I'm coming for your ass. But like you're the homie, but like I'm gonna take you out. Uh we really be making like so long we on together, We really make no shit together, like you know what I'm saying? Yeah, on the spot. So, in in college though, like, you know, you kind of hinted at that it's not as simple as it sounds, like, to just go and... It ain't as simple, bro. It's like the people who finish in four years, like easy, bro. You gotta have a support system. I mean, like, your family gotta be stable, and my family weren't stable like that. You know what I'm saying? Like, my mom, like, I ain't like I'm having to go to school, but actually be your man to take care of myself at the same time to make sure I got money because I ain't got nobody sending me. I ain't got no, I make it, bro. I didn't met some spoiled-ass kids at UGA,

15:49

bro. I bet yeah, I'm talking about like they come in Gucci the MCM, the real window. Like, like no, they parents got money driving the nice for them. never had a job in their life. never had a job, not working. UGA, I feel like it's a pretty good mix of people out there. I would say, yeah, definitely. But still, like the people that are having to really do it on their own. Yeah, I feel like that's still like few and far between. Yeah. Even with diversity, like ethnically and racially, and you know, whatever, right? That aside, I still feel like the amount of people that are show up and like whatever they make happen in those four years on them, like I feel like there's nothing. Yeah, it's extraordinary talent though. For sure. I mean a lot of smart people. Okay, here's a hot take that I'm just I was uh gonna get some hate for. I'm just so ready for it. It's hot, too. I really feel like the people that had to overcome some stuff, yeah, you know, and like started off with less and like made it out, have a better drive. I think those people are are like wired to be more successful than the kid that always had it. I just think that kid is kind of fucked.

16:51

Like he's used, he's not used to having to work for stuff. And I know that's like basically saying privileged people are like, you know, at a disadvantage, and that's it sounds crazy to say, but it it makes sense, you know, when you break it down. A kid that like had a silver spoon in his mouth is not used to having to work for what he wants to get. So it's harder to adjust. So I don't want anyone to like grow up poor. I'm not saying that, you know, but like there's something beautiful about overcoming your circumstances and and getting past it, and you know, having that drive in you all the time, just in your DNA. Hey, Wake up every day. Yeah, yeah. So I mean, did school just become too much? Like college school? Yeah, yeah, that shit became like too much. Like, I guess during those first four years of just like. Balancing life and shit. So goddamn, I stopped going for a while and say, you know, living my life, you know, rocking out, still doing what I want, type shit for a couple years. But shit, I was like, shit, I just started this shit, goddamn. I'm gonna go out now and go back and finish one day, type shit. So I um you know what I'm saying?

17:44

Got my money straight, did some things in life and roll myself back, type shit to finish. Damn. So are you doing it now? Yeah. I got 36 more hours. That's awesome. I have like almost the same uh amount. I'm so close to a degree from Georgia State. I need like eight classes. You're going at your own pace now, though. Yeah, I'm rooting for you, man. Because I I definitely like I don't plan on using it. It's just the fact that I want to finish it. It's like me exercising my mind, it's like me disciplining myself. Like I'm learning this, even though I don't plan to like use this specific information. I know it's growing my brain to be able to do other shit. Like that's a gem. I done accomplished a lot of shit. Like once I once I figure it out, oh like all right, boom, you do this like this, where it go more smoother for you. And it made me like where I can like, you know what I'm saying, easily handle class and not having to deal with the bullshit and much. It's learning how to learn. Yeah, for real. Everybody, like when you have to do shit like that, you have to get creative with it. You got to know how to. So, like when I learned how to do that, it's like all right, you get what you focus on. Yeah.

18:42

So I start, all right, boom, boom, boom. Like, really, some shit that I got into recently, like investing in shit. So it's like you focus on this, it's just because you don't know you ain't nobody before. You thought like this is a whole new world. Mm-hmm. It's a whole new language, like learning financial literacy, learning about credit, learning about investing in shit. Yep. So it's like, boom, we learn how to make money like that. Almost passive income type shit, where you don't have to work like long ass time for it. You done made racks like that. Yeah, legally, type shit. You can go do some other shit then. Yeah, so you mentioned the you know, Section 8 Dinero gang. interesting parts of the story was Slick. Okay. I'm slick rich. Yeah, I'm slick sick. Yeah. Cause I mean, Slick was the first time. Is that where you met Padron? Or that was shortly after we had met Padron. Shout out Padron. Shout out my Hey Padron for sure. You are not gonna escape getting on the podcast. Yo, Padron. You said you'd do it like four months ago.

19:39

JP. Stop playing. Stop playing with us, bro. Stop playing. What plan? Yeah. But so you had met him shortly thereafter, or uh, I'll tell you how I met Padron. Uh it was during my time interning at TIG Records, Thank you. It's a game of Records, and I was um in the studio, with my boy No and Jacquees. And um Padron was recording Jacquees' session. because uh and then Forte was in there too. Forte was with P.I. Shout out Forte buddy, and Jacquees. Yeah, for sure. Shout out my boy. Nigga Kulel. we was in the studio, and then Jacquees was playing me a new shit. I like this hard. They were damn what that song was. I think it was Candy or some shit. Yo, we were uh recording that shit. I was like, bro, that shit hard as hell. He was like thank you, damn, all that shit. And um, we were talking to the engineer, I was like, hey bro, what's your name? Um, you know what I'm saying? I want to record with you and everything. Padron shot me information and shit. I was at Castleberry Hill, like the next week, type shit. Boom. Yeah, and and then like for the the recording session, didn't you have to like drive down to Brunswick or something to Nah, so I did have to drive. I think I think what you're talking about, bro. That one, Dre had got locked up. Yeah, yeah, Dre had

20:39

got locked up. Uh that was for the video. So you had already recorded the song. We had already recorded the song. You had like hype on shooting the video. Yeah, it was like it was like the week of the day. I think we might have had to reschedule the video, some crazy ass shit, bro. Got locked up, and then I had to go burn them out type shit. And that shit was like far as hell. I had to get on in like somewhere on my whip at the time. Some shit I had to get my homeboy, other homeboy to take take me down. I got there, goddamn, and we had to go like twice, bro. They was tripping because, like, bro ain't from Brunswick. They was like, he'll flight risk. And then, some small-ass Bro, I've never been to a town city that the bell Bumsman's place, not open 24-7. Like it's a small ass town, but I think, like, our shit, yeah, like even Athens and shit's to be open 24-7. Always. Yo ass get locked up like late in the middle of the night. Right, you finna sit a couple days type shit in that little town. Jesus, man. So I we went down on the first day. We couldn't even do shit. They closed. So we have to go back in that day. We just left some money on the book type shit. And uh, you know, we got him about it in a couple days, type shit, though. That's homie shit, though, man. For sure. Making the drive down.

21:35

I don't know if twice. I don't know if he just wanted to shoot the mus the uh the music video or not. Nah, that shit's deeper than music. You know, man's in jail, bro. You can't leave your mans down, man. Hey, some people would. I'm not gonna lie. Then you bail me out, right? Uh it depends on how far. It's a five-hour drive, man. It's a five-hour drive, man. I got shit to do. Oh, boy, bro. Desi, I need a new manager. I got you, bro. No, but so I know what's going on. okay. So yeah, you shoot the video, and I mean, like, that video did like really well. Shit got like probably like 75, 80k views right now, type shit. Yeah, yeah. That shit did really well. Which was, I mean, I think I feel like Dre was very resistant to it from what I heard. He was like kind of maybe in a way, not even to the video, just like the song, like the vibe, I feel like. Yeah, the vibe. Because it wasn't like lyrical It was crazy lyrical shit. It was such a turn-up shit. It was lyrical, it just went more like storytelling type shit. Dre be like more lyrical, but storytelling type shit. Yeah, that's where you guys kind of creatively have differed over the years, right? Yeah, like he's main, like if he could just like he will though.

22:32

Like, if he wanna just make all type of music like that, that's really what all he wanna make. But he can make anything type shit. Yeah, me, I'm gonna make however I feel that day. Like, yeah, if I feel turned up, if I want to talk about goddamn money I got on me today, goddamn uh car riding, what I got on, goddamn bitch. I just fucked, bitch who broke my heart, what I'm going through it, like how I grew up. You're gonna get everything from me, how I'm like on the stock market going crazy, like I'm gonna tell you everything. Like, I just be that's how I express myself. But so tell us how you guys met, right? So we hinted at like we hinted at you guys going, you know, way back and this shit being it's the TIG era for sure. No cap. For sure. So how did you guys link? You want to tell you, you want me, say goddamn... I'll start it off and then you can go ahead, bro, go ahead. So uh, so you know, I look, I started engineering and producing from because of Padron. I moved in with Padron, taught me everything, got me on the path. Shout out to Padron for life. And period.

23:28

Uh as soon as I moved in, you know, he's doing Trinidad James, all gold, everything happens, Def Jam happens, T I G happens. So Trinidad is with TIG. Shout out Trinidad. Shout out Trinidad a million times to the sun and back. Dad, we'd love to have you on the podcast. Come on, Dad. Come on, Dad. Come on down. Come on, come on out. And uh TIG opens their own, you know, little studio that's this like just basically trap house off Metropolitan Parkway with the barred windows and the prostitutes outside and the whole nine. Sounds awesome. And um, and yeah, they were just hiring all types of interns, street team kind of people, and me and Padron were, you know, working out of there, taking sessions from there. And then someone else came into the picture. This fuck nigga named Kevin, man. Real fuckboy, man. Kevin, we we would not like to have you on the podcast. Oh, bro. If I see that man again, I'm gonna slap the shit out of that man on GP, bro. That nigga lame as hell, man.

24:27

Kevin's a questionable character. Sorry, Kevin. Suspect. You're not invited to the One More Time podcast. But he linked us up. Yeah, for sure. So we can't hate on him too hard. So Kevin, that's something with that left field shit, like shit that meant to destroy you that work out for your greater good, because you're a real nigga. Like you're a real soldier. Like, I know how to get through shit like that. Yes. People can't see those things happening right before them, though, sometimes. Don't you think? Nah. Blessing in disguise. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I hated that like phrase originally, but now that I hear stories like because I'm talking to a lot of people, obviously, now and like hearing these stories. I'm like, we just had someone on Fabo who was managing YBN Namir, and he found him, literally, and then was managing him. Was managing him and fell out. Some fuck shit happened, like huge like fuck shit. I heard the whole like YBN broke up type shit. Oh, yeah. None of them have. Yeah, and and this doesn't surprise me now after hearing this story about one of their members. So it seems like maybe a cultural thing amongst the YBN crew. But but yeah, basically, the person that like dogged him and the artist that dogged him basically still birthed his like whole career. Like jump, he's got CEOs of record labels, numbers saved from that era, right?

25:32

So even though he was like so down bad from that situation falling out, yeah, it worked out crushing it now. He's he's an AR at cinematic. He's been working with Yevo, Newski, Youngin Ace, um La Soldier, La Heat. I mean, the list goes on and on. Yeah. Um, but it's just hearing stories like this where it's like, damn, like we you know, we almost gotta like thank these fuck boys. Oh man, like you just gotta look at it different. You just gotta like switch your perspective. Like, here's the situation, and you're right here, and it looks shitty. But like, maybe if you go to the left a little bit, yeah, you see A little light in that motherfucker. Silver lining. Yep. Yeah. He linked me with another fire producer too named Maddox Lee. Shout out Maddox, yo, shout out Maddox. So he just introduced you guys from, like, the TIG shit, or, like, nah, he was bro, and it's crazy, bro. I had to tell Padron about this shit too. He was like, bro, I should have kicked him out of the studio that day. He was just at the studio like Castleberry. He was just in a session. Just that. Like he introduced himself, like impersonating some whole other type weirdo shit. Man, like this man's all about.

26:29

Salesman type shit, man. Like this man, like he's like, I'm with Red bull music and I'm gonna um, you know, you know, cut you guys this check, and we're gonna do this and this, and I want you to work on this project type shit. Yeah, bro. I spent all my money on that shit. Yeah, like but so he introduced you guys. So did y'all like immediately get to work? Hell yeah, hell yeah. I had brought him this uh crazy ass, different ass, like Asian sound and beat, and we just recorded on that motherfucker. what's the producer's name still? I can't, I can't say, J Tech produced it. J Tech, shout out J Tech. Shout out J Tech. Yeah, that that did not give me the proper idea of what I thought your music was like, dude. But that song is hard. But it showed you how versatile my shit. Exactly. For real, We got some shit. But so did your music take a turn like after you know, linking with Henry. Yeah, that's when that shit got better. Yeah. Because I was recording more. Shout out Henry. Shout out Henry. He really the only person I like to record with, cause he can keep up with me. Like, I freestyle all my shit.

27:26

Like, just so like he can keep up with me. You gotta be fast, man. These artists they get an idea and then they're on to the next one. And if you're not capturing it, you you just missed that idea. Yeah, and so you guys, you know, get to work thousand sessions later at this point, probably. Yeah, probably for sure. De Niro Global, like, did you start that like kind of post meeting Henry or kind of when did that? For sure. Um so like since I was probably like 2013 type, I was on on the computer, you know, um real heavy on like marketplaces and things of that nature, and uh I was just always looking up business and shit, and I was just like coming across like L C LLC LLC, LLC, start a business, starting a business. This is back in 2013, so I was like, all right, bet I'm gonna do that one day. But like, you know what I'm saying, running around the hood, though. it was like De Niro gang, that's what we calling ourselves, you know, like gang, like, you know what I'm saying. That's what we're doing, gang gang type shit. So uh, but I was like, I'll find the LLC a company, like, you know what I'm saying? Like, we gotta pay taxes on this shit, like this some legit shit. I gotta go go to the bank and talk to these folks, sit down and do a business.

28:23

I don't want to be like De Niro Gang. They're gonna be like, I don't want to like fund your criminal organization. Doesn't throw off the tongue as well in a corporate situation. Yeah, I got a Rico charge on some shit. Like, what is this? But uh Yeah, not to a square in a suit. You're like just like nah. De Niro gang De Niro Global. I still want to keep the DG so like De Niro Global. And it was just like when I was thinking about it, you know what I'm saying? Like De Niro money, old Spanish money, so old money, wealth, and global, worldwide, everywhere. Yeah. What did you like want it to become, or or what do you want it to become? Like, is is it just a label that you want? Or like is it? It's a label, but it's like it's actually growing in a bigger shit, though, like merch, and giving back, and now we're like doing the trading and everything since everything going digital. So it's like really the main focus was definitely the label, Nero Global Entertainment, the full name. Uh but it's definitely gonna be, you know, I ain't gonna speak on everything right now, but a couple of branch off companies, Nero Global something, you know, you know what I'm saying.

29:25

Okay. So are you doing your investing stuff underneath that entity? Some of it, yeah. Okay, yeah. Okay, yeah. So so when did you start getting into the like you know, the investing and like the stock market and 2019 had you for sure with that stock market and everything? I was always knowing about the crypto from some other shit way back, but like uh stocks and shit, definitely 2013. I mean 2019 during the pandemic and shit. We just like at the crib. I'm like, man, and then too, like, um, I shit nigga improving with age. So I was like, shit, sitting on the bag, I'm like, what I'm finna do with this shit. We sitting at the crib. I just come. I come across I'm on Instagram. You know, everybody be doing a little ads, or whatever. I don't even know if it was an ad, but I came across this dude's page named Aristotle Investments. I'm like, bro, this dude look just like me, type shit. So I'm like, I dunno. But he talked about the stock market and shit. So I'm just like tapping into his shit. And I was like, oh, okay, that's what this is. Like, oh, you can really learn that. Like, you ain't gotta have no like millions to get started in this shit. You can take 10 bands, 20 bands, and you know what I'm saying, grow that shit.

30:26

People are like one stop. You can take 10 bucks. You can take 10 bucks, but yeah, I ain't even trying to discourage, You can take 10 dollars, yeah. But I'm saying, like, yeah, the more you got to start with, the risk the better. But I'm saying, like, you can get started. I didn't know you could, I didn't know it was something I was able to do, type shit. Yeah, so once I saw like, oh, yeah, like you thought the barrier to NG was the barrier was way up here, yeah. The minimum interest. Bro, now they have like sh, you know, fractional portions of stocks. It's like you don't even have to buy a whole share. If the price tag of one Amazon share scares the shit out of you, yeah, you can get a piece. So, so what did you think, or what do you think it takes to break an artist? Oh okay. first thing I'm gonna say, because I assume that's what you want to do. I mean, so I want to either break yourself or or break one of the artists that you work with, whether it's Dre or someone in the future, right? Yeah, like you know, what do you think it takes? I'm gonna say one, that shit gotta be meant for you for sure, for sure. Cause you can try everything everybody else try, and That shit just might not ever happen for you.

31:25

You gotta have financing for that shit. That's what a lot of artists lack it. They think they can just be hard as hell, the most talented thing in the world, and not put no money into that shit. That shit ain't going nowhere. Yeah. Uh kind of sad truth. And I say, Well, you asked me for one, that's just what I think it takes in general. Nah, yeah, just a few things, whatever. Definitely gotta have a work ethic for that shit. Like that the last one I just said. Like, you can be a hard ass artist, but if you ain't working for this shit consistently, like pretty much almost, I ain't gonna say almost like every day you're doing something. Yeah, if it ain't recording every day it's something like marketing, promoting yourself, or even just learning, like, okay, I'm gonna learn and study up on this today. Yep. So I can't DMing someone that could help you. Communicating, sharing your shit, networking. Like, you gotta be on that shit every day. So the work ethic. You gotta wake up saying, How can I advance my career for that? Don't be my top three shit. Gotta be like, you gotta be meant for you, meaning like, hey, people gotta look and be like, this is a star. You gotta have that aura. That's the word. You gotta have that aura, gotta have some financing behind your music, your campaign, whatever. And you gotta have that work ethic.

32:25

So good ones. How much do you think it takes to break an artist? Like talking about financing? Yeah, like do you have in your mind like a number? I don't need no, bro. I've heard one recently. bands on bands, yeah, I be hearing the number like around like 250k type shit, around 200 racks and shit. And I ain't never dropped that at one time. I ain't never had that to drop at one time yet, but like I didn't spend some racks and racks and racks on that shit. So yeah, what have you spent money on? Uh over the years. Videos, studio time, beach. mixing and mastering, mixing and mastering. You run ads. Uh yeah, I have run ads. Now that's something I need to got down sharpen up on and learn how to do consistency. This guy probably can help me out with that. Uh it's tough though, man. We're getting there. It's a whole different world. Casting, cause like our videos and shit, we do that shit's be like creative type videos. Yeah. Just be the regular type shit. Um, drip, of course, like when you're a rapper, you gotta got down, spend some money on how you look. You know, you can write all that off on your taxes.

33:21

Yeah, yeah. For sure. all of them, marketing yeah. Clothes, dinners. If you go like talk about your music career at dinner, write off the food, gas to get there. Yeah, literally a new watch. I was gonna say, bro, everything, it's my rapper's image. Like a chain, bro, with your company name with your rapper. That's a write off, write it off, bro. That's a gem, by the way. Okay, people. You can write off all you rappers out there. So much. If there's no other reason to get an LLC, it's to write off your chains and your in your drip. So you know, you've also paid for features. Oh yeah. Right? Yeah, that's so most recently you did a feature with Skooly, shout out Skooly, Perfect imperfection. Yeah. Right. How did how did that, how did you even? I'm you know, I'm always curious how how do people choose features, right? Like, was that the one artist that you were like, I gotta get Skooly on this song because it's gonna be the best. Or like, bro, did you hit up like 20 people? Like when you heard that, I know you're like, Skooly was meant for this. He fits. No, for sure, but like nah, so like, did he was he actually the one like the one for sure, so like when I recorded the song, nice answer. I did bro, like, so that probably one of the first fast ass songs I did.

34:24

I gotta hit that song like the original way, like 15 minutes type shit with Bajon type shit. So I was like, but uh I just you know what I'm saying, playing it for the homies and shit, playing it for everybody, letting girls and shit here, but they're like, it's shit hard. So I sent it back to Bajon. I told him to mix it. Um mix and mess that motherfucker. So I did it. I put it out, getting a little attention, just the regular. Like, I had been put it out, but I wouldn't even really, you know what I'm saying? Think about it now, you know what I'm saying? My marketing house was too well. Like, you know what I'm saying? Again, going through life, running through the money. I'm like, I want to invest some of them money. So I'm like, okay, what I'm gonna do. And we met this dude named Ross, H.D. Ross. Uh he the creator director for Street Exx, he's the one who shot the slick video. And Skooly with Street Exx, yeah. But like I already grown up listening to Skooly, from Rich Kidz, like, I've been knowing about Skooly, like, like we Greensboro at any point, like, this shit an hour and a half from Atlanta. So, like, I'm knowing about Skooly, Rich kids in middle school. So I'm like rich kids and like Travis Porter, that whole era. That was like a whole Skooly, a goat, a legend. Yeah. They don't get that butt hit credit, like Skooly a legend. For real.

35:14

For sure, for sure. Uh so I was like, yeah, this that this that type of song. And I was like, we was at the video shoot and I was like, hey bro, who do I? I want to get Skooly on a song and he was like, alright, I can make that happen. I can make that happen. Like, for sure. So shit, when I got this song, I'm like, bro. I was on the trail, like, bro. He's like, he followed with the song and everything, encouraged me to drop in everything. I'm like, bro, I'm gonna do a video. he's like I'm gonna get a feature on it, bro. he's like, Skooly, He's like, hell yeah. Yeah. So it really was the one. Yeah. So I like, uh, I hear Ross up, bro. to make that shit happen. I was like, bro, I want to do the video too. Like, I bet we're gonna I so he did that shit. See, all right. If it's if he was already the one, and then you happened to like have a plug to him, it's like okay, yeah. Something the universe is telling me something, right? So like No, I just always wondered as far as like we got some bullshit coming. Cause you know, I put on shows.

36:10

Oh, really? Yeah, okay, because I put on shows and it was like, you know, trying to book artists, you'd put together like a list of like who you'd want to be. So it wasn't like you just had one artist where you're like, oh, well, if I don't get them, I'm not doing the show. So I didn't know if on the feature side, this is me being, you know, ignorant still to that world. There was no plan B, plan C, it was just like we had to, We actually had to like reschedule the actual day, but just because of like uh pandemic and corona shit. Like, we shot this shit during the middle of that shit. You know, what I'm saying, yeah. And so, how do you feel about features? Like, you know, you're an investor. Okay, do I think they'll get investment? What you mean? Yeah, like I'm dependent, especially if it's the right feature, and if you get marketing, you definitely gotta get marketing with that shit. But yeah, I definitely think they'll get investment. Cause it's like, all right, bro. see, I'm coming to your house, we finna eat dinner. You know me. You fuck with me. Oh, yeah, bro. Some strange ass dude you see at the store. you never seen this man before. He show up at your house coming and trying to have dinner. you not finna let him in to eat dinner with you, right? Right. Yeah. But if you come with me and this Desi homie, this Desi

37:08

associate. I try Desi, I fuck with Desi, hey, okay, he good. You know what I'm saying? He's Desi people. Y'all introduce him to you. you gonna let him in and treat him like me, or you know, good and cordial, right? So that's the same way with a feature wise a good investment. You they you introducing yourself to this man audience. Hopefully, you got enough of yourself to take some of this tight, you know what I'm saying? And you become like a part of his network. And you become it your network, yeah. You're in that ecosystem now. Yeah, for sure. Yeah. I mean, I always think about all the people that are blown from features. If I can answer that, bro. Like, think of the people Drake has put on. Drake talented as hell. But like one of the things that made Drake who he is is Wayne, bro. And Wayne put him on first, and then he's put people on then with features. Look at Drake, he done blew up so many careers. Yes. So many. Yeah. So many. If if you could be on like one rapper's song, who would it be? Wayne. Like, if I got a pick. Like, yeah, like still today.

38:05

Okay, if I gotta pick a rapper, yo, Lil Wayne. Like, we share that in common. I know. You fucking love Weezy, F baby. Yep. So, you know, you mentioned the investing side of things. You're clearly like a businessman. I mean, you you're always like doing some business shit. I mean, you're always like posting about, I feel like you're like super tapped into to like the business. world, Definitely, bro. It's so much money on the internet, bro. Yeah, it's all all the money's on the internet. Oh, that's a new trap for real, though. When you think about it, they're in there, bro. Like, yeah, for real. 100%. But like, you're not all business. Nah, I have fun, of course. Yeah. I mean, you're a big strip club guy. Yeah, shout out to Club. Yo, yo, What was the bar that you have about about so many ones? From cat talk. I walked in the club with so many ones that they literally just looked down and said, damn where the couch went. Come on. When Dre spit that bar, he actually spit that bar on his episode. I was like, sheesh, so what's your favorite strip club in Atlanta?

I mean, you gotta do your research. You know what I'm saying? These are important topics. Security used to come get me at the right, the narrow, walk straight through. Straight in. Yeah, well, Henry.
