Finding Your Artist Superpower ft. Wix Patton

We just had a certain mindset approaching while we were doing it. Like everybody was like, when I get to the NFL, when I get here, when I do this, when I do this, that's the same energy I had. So I knew, like me being an artist, I'm not gonna be somebody who steps backwards. I'm gonna be somebody who builds off the momentum of what I've already done. The One More Time Music Podcast.

Welcoming in on episode 39 of the One More Time podcast. Legendary rapper, singer, songwriter, actor, dancer.

It's Aaron Carter. AC. Thanks for coming, Aaron. Yo, he thought you were talking about him. He literally thought it was all. Sorry, I'm sorry. Aaron. I mean, Wicks. He thought it was all about him. Well, because the first few things actually made sense. Yeah. But then I guess. Actor, dancer. I guess we lost him at actor and dancer. But I don't know. I mean, do you have moves? Do you have moves? You're a dancer, right? Aaron Carter, don't ever try me like that again. That's heavy. In all seriousness, folks, we have Mr. Wicks Patton on the podcast. Don't play with me. Wicks is a tough guy to nail down. We finally got him on the show. Come on, man. We here. He's working. It took a little bit, but I'm so glad that you, you know, finally made it out, man. Appreciate you coming on. Thank you. Yeah, I had to make sure I got to number 39, episode 39 to be able to, you know, accept the accept the gig.

Make sure we could get to 39 episodes. Yep, yep. So you're from Peachtree City, Georgia. Is that right? Yeah, you know, from around that area, yeah. Shout out. For those that don't know, it's the golf cart capital of Georgia. I didn't know that. Yeah, well. You learn something new every day. Did you have a golf cart growing up? Yeah, flooded with golf carts everywhere. Everywhere? Yeah. You take a golf cart all over the city. Really? Yeah. It's literally like there's more golf cart lanes than there are like car lanes. Yeah, you're riding around like 14 years old. What? That's how I just started. golfing a lot. They had golf cart parking at the school and everything. Golf cart parking. Yeah, like mini spots. I'm not making this shit up, Henry. Wow. This is real talk. This is real talk. But so you end up going to UGA and you know, walk on the football team there. Yes. Was football your main sport growing up? Uh basketball. Yeah, basketball is probably my main sport. Because you're tall, bro. How tall are you? Uh I'm about five seven. That's a lie. Five six. But like with stilettos on, he's like six seven. Yeah, throw the pair of sneakers on.

I'm like, yeah, about six five. Okay. Yeah. A pair of shoes. Yeah. I mean, they could probably tell when he walked out the door in the intro that he was a tall guy. Show the wide angle for him. For sure. But yeah, so so football was kind of like second though to basketball. I was pissed off about football growing up because I was I didn't hit a growth spurt until I was like a junior in high school. So I was always really like short. So I was never getting a lot of minutes. I was definitely getting benched in like rec league football. Basketball, like a sixth or seventh round pick. Used to be so salty. And so sports, I mean, for me, I I didn't get good really at basketball and football. Football, I didn't get good until I was a junior. And that's whenever I really took football seriously and decided I was gonna play. Really senior year, I took it seriously. And that's when I, you know, put on 70 pounds and like you know, decided this was what I was gonna do, so I'm gonna try to get into a good school. But for me, yeah, I was always a basketball player, mainly because I got cut in eighth grade, and then um, and football got cut.

And so after that, I was like, fuck football. I'm finna just I'm gonna just try to focus on basketball. Went deep in basketball, made my way back to football, and then yeah, I ended up changing my whole life because I never really had that good a grades, but you know, football opened up a whole nother door for me, you know, committing to Louisville when Lamar Jackson was over there, and then decommitting whenever uh I had the opportunity to go to Georgia, and they say, you know, we'll be able to get you through, you know, push you through your grades and everything, get you into the school, take care of certain things as you'd be in preferred walk-on. But we're out of scholarships this late in the year, but you know, you'll be the only tight end we'll bring in in this class, and we'll think there'll be a real opportunity for you. So I took that, and I remember when Kirby Smart had brought me into his office to talk to me and give me that opportunity. It was just like surreal. Cause I was like, damn, like two years ago, I wasn't even playing football at all. That's what amazes me. I'm like, he didn't even start taking it seriously until his junior year. Really, junior year I didn't even take it seriously.

I just decided to go play because our starting receivers were school, so I was like, I'm gonna go try out. There's a hole to fill. The door opened. It cracked open. And I was like, you know what? I I failed, I got cut by this this coach who told my dad, you know, Wicks is just not an athlete, you know. Some some kids are just good dads. He told me he told my dad that and he told my dad told me that, so I was like, you know what? You know, fuck this guy. Wow. I'm gonna go make something happen. We love a good comeback story, man. Yeah, yeah. That's crazy though. Because I don't know. I mean, for me, just the level, I don't care if you're a preferred walk on, uh normal walk on, a scholarship player, like being on the team at UGA. I mean, that like it was crazy. I mean, they won the championship. That's as good as it gets, right? So, like to to go from someone that wasn't fully invested into it. I mean, did you just like kick it into hydro gear or like bro? I show up like so. Look, and so this is what I'm I failed to mention too. Why I really got into music was like ninth and tenth grade, eleventh grade.

That's when I really got serious in the music, dropping mixtapes in high school and stuff, and then so around the same time. Yeah, but no, but once football really got serious, I was like, oh, I'm not gonna be like this dude who has all these mixtapes, get uncovered when I get to Georgia. And I'm just like clown. I want to be taken seriously because the opportunity, like I seen what was in front of me. So I took down the mixtapes and everything, focused on football, took down, you know, stopped doing music, which really broke my heart because I always felt like I was an artist and had that kind of like that gift and everything. And um, so I just basically just was supporting my homies and everything who was making music and then just you know, put all in with the football. So yeah, so you go to UGA and and you do kind of like hang up the music for a little bit, Yeah, completely, completely. Yeah, like you buckle down and you're like Yeah, I was dieting for football. I was training like four times a day. I was just went super saiyan. I completely quit smoking, quit drinking, like eliminated myself from everybody and just was like going super saiyan, trying to be this dude, like trying to form into this person I knew I could be, and I never knew how far I would take it. Like I knew I never knew like Georgia was gonna be where I was at.

If I knew that the whole time I would have worked, you know, maybe even harder, but the whole time I was just going, going, going. Cause I'm like, this is my only real shot into anywhere. And I'm seeing like people get college acceptances and all this shit. And then I remember what was so funny, because whenever I did get the offer from Georgia and committed, all my classmates were so salty at me. Cause people are getting turned down because of grades. and stuff like that. They're like doing their homework trying to go to UGA. Yeah, they're like, fuck Wicks. You're not even that good at football. Like, I'm all of them hated on me, and I just like, yeah, I'll see y'all at Georgia. I'll see all of y'all in Georgia. That's right. That's crazy. So legend. You know, you kind of buckle down, You dropped out. Start doing, yeah, exactly. So you start doing, you know, hardcore football training, dieting, really trying to like make that that shit happen. But then, but then you do let music back into your life. Um, and and you end up actually like burning the candle at both ends. I mean, you're literally like paint us the picture of what your average day looked like when you were doing both music and football. Yeah, like after after the shit went, the shit went viral at the Rose Bowl.

Tell tell the people that story real quick. Yeah, for those that don't know about it. Uh just okay, so we're in LA for the Rose Bowl because we made it out there. It's a bowl game that you, you know, it's a college football playoff, and we're out there to play Baker Mayfield's Oklahoma team. And while we're out there, we're going like on team events at night. You know, you're going to like Disneyland one day, you're going to fucking uh comedy club one night, and that was whenever it happened. We're in this comedy club, and everybody, our whole team's in there, a whole bunch of the faculty staff, you know, what I mean, like the uh all that type of shit. And uh there's there's people on stage freestyling, some of our teammates that were like starters on the team, just bullshitting, just on the stage rapping. And they're like, hi. Is this part of the comedy show? Nah, this was just somehow they got on stage and got access to a mic. Like our team was like a whole bunch of class clowns at Georgia, like people are just cutting up, like no one cared. Like, I don't know, but yeah, the DJ is just playing instrumentals. I don't know. I guess they hooked up to the aux. All I know is I'm just sitting in there. They took over the comedy club, Turned it into an open mic. and it's crazy because the comedians that came out too were like these star-studded

comedians. But before all that happened, yeah, so then they're like, all right, does anybody want to come on stage and spit something before we before we get into the comedians coming out? Wow. And I'm just sitting there, like, and like the people around me are like some of the other walk-on, my other walk-on homies, one of them being Stetson Bennett, who's like the quarterback this year at Georgia. And he was like, Wicks. Wicks. Wicks. Wicks gotta go out there, Wicks. And so then, like a bunch of my teammates were like, yeah, Wicks. They all started joining in. So then people are like, Clearly you have to go. But my teammates are like, they don't know I could freestyle. Some of my teammates know I could freestyle because I'd be at the apartment, you know, I mean, like freestyling with everybody, just rapping, whatever like girls would be over or whatever, trying to, you know, look good or whatever. I just could all, I just always can freestyle, so I'll whip that out at the best time. So, anyways, I just they're all like, yeah, I'm super embarrassed. My face is super. I'm looking down, like, stop, stop, stop, please stop.

Like, no, I'm not doing this, I'm not doing this. I'm like, it's about to be so humiliated. I'm making myself look so dorky. Like, I'm already like trying to just gain some type of respect as a tight end in that fucking team. So you're about to go backwards. Now I'm about to go up there and be a rapper. And I have like this Justin Bieber, like smooth silk hair. Like, I just I just don't like wide neck. I'm like 250 pounds. I just don't look like nobody. I look like a country music singer. And so then, like, next thing you know, so then yeah, next thing you know, the uh Gantt goes up on stage who's like one of our like uh coaches. He's like, Wicks, if you don't come up here in freestyle, I'ma tell Coach Smart you were late for curfew. And so that meant like you're gonna have to run the whole practice, and I'm just like, oh. So now everybody's like laughing and cheering. So I'm like, all right, but I guess I'm gonna go up there because I'm gonna just at this point. If I don't go up there, I'm gonna just look like a you know what I'm saying? Yeah, like all right, you had no choice At this point. So I just walk up there, I get the microphone, there's a bunch of people on stage, and they throw a beat on. It was like mask off or something.

I'm up there, and I just I'm like, and I just start rapping. I just I don't even remember anything of what I said or what was going on, but I was just freaking flowing, dude, and everybody was going crazy. And so then everybody's videoing, so then I walk off stage, and then everybody's like, and then Roquan Smith was like, no, no, no, fuck that. Wicks, you gotta go do that again. You gotta do that again. So I'm like, oh. So I got the mic. At this point, everybody like, you got like Nick Chubb and Sony Michelle, and so many people in the front row with their cameras, like looking at me, like, what you gonna do? And I'm just like, this is so funny, man. I don't even mean to be name dropping. This shit was just funny as hell. So I just started rapping again, and and that's whenever the videos kind of went viral, is because some of my teammates were just freaking out at the They all posted it. situation. And it went next day, I got posted on Twitter, and Coach Smart had brought it up in the team meeting and played the videos. Like, you know, when you're recruiting people, you don't always know everything about them.

You know, you know they're a good tight end, and you know this or whatever, but you don't know necessarily this about them. Then he played the video, everybody started freaking out. And so then after that, I was like. So he was like lighthearted about it. He loved it, and then all the coaches loved it. And it was like I gained, it was like everybody I gained an identity on the team, and it was like, whoa. Like I've always been this this rapper, right? Everybody's like calling me MGK and different stuff. At the time, like I used to love, I used to do music and things. So then I it just almost gave me a certain swagger back as a person. I remember the time I was depressed and feeling like I had lost that. Cause I had some friends around me too that just were different than me. And they always, I don't know. I just I just never could fit in. And it was just because I guess they would wanted me to conform to be a certain type of person I wasn't. And it was like once I had freestyled, and then it was like people kind of like seen this side and they were like, because people didn't really know who I was really. They humanized you Yeah. So then after that, though, I started hanging out with more people and people that could rap and just different different friends that I had. And it was just crazy the shift of just, you know, we go to the national championship, and while we're out there, and yeah, we ended up losing on the last play of the game that freshman year.

But but anyways, after that, I started making music with one of my teammates named Tyreek McGee, who he actually plays in the NFL to this day, and um he just was like, yo, you gotta come freestyle with us at the circle, because we had a bunch of teammates that could rap, you know, like the culture is heavy, man. Like a lot of the ball players grew up, obviously like listening to hip hop heavy, and you know, it's just uh it's just something that people do, man. So like we would you know, rap and everything. Then we decided to make some songs. So we made three songs: Whoa, there, a song called Carlos Santana, and a song called DJ Tree, who was a DJ in Athens that we were going and doing a bunch of shows with at the time. So we put out those, oh I guess it was a whole EP called The Experiment. And um, we put out the song Whoa There, and then after that, you know, it did really well, and um, all the you know, blogs picked it up, you know, because they were just like, oh, there's college, you know, college football players from Georgia, drop a hit, you know, drop a song. So then people are eating it up off of that, you know, because media loves to hop onto things. They got like some radio playing, crazy stuff was happening. And think about me as an artist who would try to put out mixtapes, tried to put out songs, got clowned in my hometown.

People were calling me Wix Khalifa, people were making fun of me all the time. By the way, on Spotify, if you type in Wix, it shows Wiz Khalifa. Which is bullshit. Sorry, but if you go to Wix Patton, you can find me. It's alright. It's alright. Yeah, I was like, but soon enough, Wix Patton will very much. You type in Wix P, I'm up there. Yeah. There you go. I'm the top Wix P. It's all right. I'm the top Wix P. Yeah, you already know. So, yeah, man. I think uh, so I forgot what the fuck I was talking about. What was I saying? Well, so you have this video or like these series of videos that kind of like started off. Yeah, so but then you start really like diving back into music, and you were going crazy. Your schedule was insane. Like paint us the picture of like Oh, yeah, that's where we're at. My fault. I got a crazy backstory. You're good. So look, so yeah, so I'm dropping those songs. We have to hear the Rose Bowl story. Yeah, Yeah, so oh well, look, because I'm dropping those songs, and that's what gave me the thousands of fucking followers. And I got verified on social media on Twitter, and because it was like the the media, I had I had realized something. I'm like, whoa, I have a certain power behind dropping songs and having my teammates post it.

They're reaching thousands and thousands of people. Yeah, they're reposting me, retweeting me. The fans are jumping behind it, they're loving it. Other college, you know, football players are getting behind it, they're loving it. And now it's becoming a thing where all these other athletes that rap, they're loving it. So then it's just like boom, like this shit's working for me. So uh what happened was is I remember I went to Rolling Loud on a trip with some of my teammates, and that was where I met my boy Davis. Well, I had a friend named Davis Kelly, who was already a uh a former UGA football player who was kind of managing me at the time, you know, after we had made some songs. When I say manage, I just mean that he was somebody who had connections, right? He was somebody who got me in the studio, who kind of, you know, knew about some shows. They were they were having me pull up the house parties and stuff, and like it was crazy the stuff I was doing just because I was a UGA football player. I was getting to play like these crazy fraternity parties in front of like a thousand plus kids just because of who you know, playing on the team. Like they would bring me and Tyreek out, we would do five songs, and a bunch of our teammates would come out.

I'm on stage, like Justin Fields and some of my other, like freaking DeAndre Baker, me Cole, some of my other homies, Brian Harry, and they're just on stage with me, and we're like rappers. But we're, you know what I mean? But then we got to practice next week. But we're on stage, like for a crowd of people. It just was crazy, you know what I'm saying? Getting to live that double life. Uh, but musically. So once I ended up getting with that manager, I got with this dude named Josh Langley. He uh, you know, introduced me to the studio called Walker Street Studios in Atlanta. Um, and he introduced me to a guy named Steve High Bickey and Tyler Ogden. Those guys, shout out to Steve the Sauce. Yeah, Steve the Sauce, Hybicki. You know, Steve. Yeah. I love Steve. So Steve, Steve is a guy who basically sauced up 100 miles. He made 17 versions of it, and he was uh executive producing all my music. So I was going in, so yeah. So basically to a typical day, I would wake up at 7 a.m. and go to tutoring or whatever. From tutoring, I would go to workouts. From workouts, we would go to class.

From class, we would go back, we would go eat. After we eat, we go to meetings. From meetings, we go to practice. From practice, we go to um uh whatever it was. I'm exhausted, just hearing about it. But mentoring, we had these like hour mentoring. After mentoring, you know, you have your tutoring from tutoring, you go to uh, you know, back home. And by then it's probably like 10 o'clock, and everybody's hanging out or they're, you know, studying or whatever. And I would drive an hour and a half to Atlanta and uh get in the studio with Steve and Josh and everybody, and we would cook, man. And we would make just it was so much passion in the music. And I just learned how to be an artist. I just was anybody I'd meet, man. I'd meet a flute player, I'd meet a trumpet player, a drummer, a uh a keyboard player, anything. I would bring him in. I'd say, yo, we're getting in the studio on Tuesday, come through. And we'd just show up and I'd say, yo, play, play a melody. Alright, bet he would play something, and then somebody would go play something, and then somebody would play something, and then he'd play something.

Then Steve would go and he'd hook it together and he'd arrange it all. And then I would go and I would rock out. That's how we made the story of a rock star. Uh when we did 100 miles, the first song to kind of like have people take me serious as an artist while I was at UGA. Um, it was just a guitar. My my friend Tyler just played a guitar loop, basically, like just had played it right there, and it had no breakdowns, no drums, just the same thing, the whole song. And I'd made the whole song, sang the whole thing, and then we added drums afterwards. And I don't know, man. I just became an artist. I would be there later. You know, I'd be there. Yeah, you'd stay there till like I'd stay there till about like two in the morning, and then I would go to the uh I'd go to strip clubs or I'd go to clubs or I'd go to bars and I would perform. Because you're already in Atlanta. My manager was having me pull up to places and perform or get my songs played or throw money in the club, or would bring me to Kirkwood where free Bands was, and I would be with Casino or some of those. It's a business expense, bro. Yeah, man.

He just was, he just was taking me all around, man. He was taking me in the streets. He was he was showing me how things were. He was he was like just showing me another side of things and introducing me to another lot, a lot of artists, a lot of OGs, and um, yeah, that's that's kind of how it all happened. Yeah, so then he'd literally like three, four, and then drive back in the morning drive back to Athens. Yeah, drive back to Athens and do it all over again and sleep, sleep for a few hours, and then sometimes I would try to like and I would be exhausted, man. I heard the schedule, and I like it. Yeah, I would be exhausted. And my teammates knew because I didn't see this. Because I then I would want to pop my shit, man. I wanted people to know how how hard I was working and what I had going on because I wanted to inspire people, right? Like I remember like just the crazy amount of freaking views I would get, man. Like while I was at UGA, like when I was doing that, when I'd be driving at night, I'd get like 20,000 story views and stuff like that, bro. Like people just checking out and like just the songs I was making and and everything, and the people I was hanging out with on a daily basis, and how we all, like my sophomore year when I was really deep into music when I was traveling and everything, a lot of us all split up and went to different schools after that year. Justin went to Ohio State, my boy Brent Cox Florida, uh Florida University, Jaden Hunter went to uh uh Western Kentucky.

We just everybody split up, man, and and everybody did what they did what they had to do. And I don't know, it's just amazing. But it was all a mindset thing, right? So, like me cole Hartman going to the NFL and killing it, like all these guys, like we just had a certain mindset approaching while we were doing it. Like everybody was like, when I get to the NFL, when I get here, when I do this, when I do this, you know, I'm gonna do this, I'm gonna do this, I'm gonna do this. And it was just that's the same energy I had. So I knew like me being an artist, I'm not gonna be somebody who steps backwards. I'm not I'm gonna be somebody who builds off the momentum of what I've already done. I had already gone viral once. I'm like, I know I can do it again. Once you do something, once you can do it again, you get a hit song and can do it again. So once you have that evidence to yourself, you see what you can do. When 100 miles blew up, it had like 100k in the first like two months or something like that, a month or two on Spotify. So I was like, okay, bet. Like it's working. And I was so nervous to put that song out because it was alternative, and I felt like people would think I was soft and different things like that. But it's just music, you know what I mean?

And that's what opened my mind up. But um now it's over a million. That's that's crazy. I mean, he was so productive, man. I I I uh heard this one story. Even on your car rides to the studio, yeah. Don't take this as advice, kids. But he was like Writing, driving and writing songs. That's how I do it. Like I wrote uh I was like, bruh. The song called Questions, man. It was like the first song that made my management, everybody like kind of freak out. It was before I made 100 miles, and we never put it out because it beat had already been bought on YouTube. You know how like you I mean, you're a producer, yeah. So they have that shit in the fucking bio, so I didn't know. And then the producer was so my manager was so mad at me. But um, I made this song, man. I remember I would I would drive with my knees and I would write the song while I was singing. So that that's a trend we've seen on the podcast, bro. Yeah, people write in the car. Like, this is you're not the first person to say that. You just need privacy, man. You need privacy to be able to sing, like the song, Keep your hands on the wheel, if you can, cause I just need to know, to you?

Like when you're when you're singing, like it's embarrassing to like try to it's like I don't know, man. Like sometimes you just have that comfort of being by yourself. You'll you'll push yourself further, you'll try things and you can turn it up. Yeah, man, you know, you can vibe. And just I don't know. That's just what I found for me, you know, in that moment. And I've I've had to experiment on what you know is my best creative process throughout building as an artist. But yeah, that's definitely something I did early on. No, it's interesting because I guess the creative process, maybe you do want to be alone, but you're clearly someone just like a lot of artists love being on stage, love performing. So I guess it's more about like wanting to be alone while making the art but then being okay of course you know he's not scared of like performing this dude rocks out on stage. Oh yeah not at all. I've gotten booed I've been, I've had people in the crowd like, boo, because I've had it, it's crazy. Like, you know, y'all had, um, Gabriel opened up for Young Nudy recently. I opened up for Young Nudy in, in 2018, man, and Hoodrich Pablo one and the sailing team. Shout out Hoodrich Pablo Juan and, uh, freaking, there were people in the crowd that had their hand up like this, damn, and some people loved it, you know, some people are turned, but it was back when me and Tyreek were performing and we just used to get these crazy looks, man, of packed out shows, like, just because of us being UGA football players. And then that's how I, I learned, you know, no one at the Young Nudy show gave a fuck about that. They're just like, bring on Young Nudy. Like, I go, because they went from, bro, this is their fault This is how they did it. They went, Hoodrich Pablo Juan, Wix Patton Young Nudie sailing team.

Why was Wix Patton after Hoodrich Pablo one? Yeah I should have been before yeah I'm like I love you and all but like Yeah, Hoodrich Pablo Juan was, obviously, probably, they thought UGA held some weight, but I'm like, these people are not knowing my music. Yeah, it's not like that. Like, yeah, no, that's tough, that's tough. so you know what we've had lit shows too, though, that's all good. What what similarities would you say are are between the approaches of of like how you approach music and then how you approach sports. Because we've talked about this on a on a previous episode of kind of like the yeah, exactly. The similarities between the two. Like what What types of things do you think were were similar to like how you were approaching, you know, training and eating and all that shit. Like, you know, the Super Saiyan, like kind of thing. It's mental determination, man, and discipline. Like being able to just work that hard when no one's watching, right? And not doing shit because you have to, but doing it because like I was I was putting in crazy, like I remember like being even a senior in high school, like uh at spring practice, like being in my uh little room or whatever, like you know, we were all staying in these bunks and doing push-ups like for like two hours every single night and doing sit-ups and like and and like going in every night in my first two semesters at Georgia as a freshman, like going and running like three miles around the campus and doing Rocky type shit. I've always like just tried to do that type of element and because you have to feel like the goat, like to be the goat.

You know what I'm saying? Like in the studio, like I realized, you know, you can you can go out and you can do all this branding stuff, you can do a bunch of content, you can do all these things and network and all this stuff, and then get lost and realize like you have to put in so much work in the studio and be the goat when it comes to being an artist. And so it's just a balance of things and all the things that you do, like in sports, you know, having a balance of eating right, working out right, training right, but then doing a lot of game speed stuff, doing a lot of gameplay stuff. Like I have to be in the studio creating, you know. I don't like doing uh I like doing a lot of live shows. You have to stay, you know, like in sports, you have to keep that repetition of work ethic, right? To stay good at it, you know. You know what I mean, to stay at that high level, you have to be doing it multiple times a week. With music, it's the same way. You take too much time off, and you can lose, you can literally sit there and sometimes question your ability and be like, Am I even supposed to do this? If you take too much time off Imposter syndrome. Yeah, yeah, imposter syndrome. And then you're like, holy shit, I've wasted my whole life. Like, what am I doing? Like, am I supposed to be here. Creativity is a muscle. And it's scary as hell. Yeah, you have to work it out, you have to work it out, you have to keep it working out,

And you have to, and you have to wear it, and because the most beautiful thing is feeling like um, like Jack Harless, like, there's moments where you feel like you're the hottest, you know what I'm saying? Where like no matter what you do, you feel like it's dope, right? No matter what you create. And then when you're on the field, like when I was, you know, what made me feel like, all right, I bet, like, even though all these guys maybe have way more years on me, I'm coming out here and saucing up the starting defense on the scout team as a freshman, catching passes and pissing them off and starting and having fights and shit. And it all happened because I'm I'm being creative with my routes, you know what I'm saying? Maybe they gave me a post-route, but how can I sauce it up and and give them a juke to the right and run it? And only a way Wix Patton can run it and use what I, you know, what I my highlighted skill set, right? So being able to use the fact that I'm tall and can run this or do this or do this, and utilize that with the route that I'm running, right? So, like the songs that I'm giving with music, you use the highlighted abilities that you have as an artist. If you can really sing or hit these notes, these melodies, you want to do, you know, songs that are more melody-driven and find things that bring out that highlighted ability.

So, football is the same way, sports is the same way in general. So that's just kind of like why it was such an easy. Um, I mean, I dropped so much weight. Like, I I really was like, if I'm gonna be an artist as a profession, you know, like this is a serious, serious thing. When you get to college, man, like you're really setting yourself up for what you're gonna do for your living. So whatever you do in life, you gotta go hard at it. And I was like, you know, I'm only way I'm gonna really be an artist is by really fully living my truth and being an artist and dedicating all my time and going through that struggle and dealing with what these artists deal with to become what they become and having a story and that's deeper than what my story already was, and having to live through all these things and getting the talent and be around artists and be around OGs and people that can really, you know, help me navigate because I realized too was like there were so many sacrifices and things having to be made, and like you, you know, people aren't gonna go and wake up in the morning and play my music because or play my music over the weekend because oh yeah, you know, today I want to listen to this dude because he's a UGA graduate, he's a UGA football player who had a viral moment. I I want to play this dude today, it's a cool story.

No. they're gonna play whatever it sounds the best. So I knew what I was competing with musically, and so I'm like, you know, if I want to be at that level, I have to put that type of time in and discipline and and be that, you know. Yeah, it's I mean, something that hit home that you said was finding that superpower. That's the shit we talk about of like everyone has something that makes them unique, and that and and I think you termed it like the highlighted ability, right? Of like you were having to look deep, whether it was football or now that it's music, of like, why am I special? Yeah, and that's not to say that like the answer should be you're not, it should be you are, but here's why. You know what I mean? And so I think that like that's the ultimate people get caught up in the fact, and I'm not going to cut you off at all. No, you're good. People get caught up in the fact that it gets revealed after a certain amount of events have to take place in order for it to happen, right? So, like me being an artist, it wasn't time yet. I have shit to talk about as an artist. Fuck am I gonna talk about at that point in my life? You know what I'm saying? Class. Routes, football, practice.

You know what I'm saying? Even, but even just like in high school with dropping music, everything, and then being cut in football and how bad that hurt, and how humiliating that was at the time. I was the only person in my whole grade that got cut, bro. So, like, everybody on the team is wearing jerseys. It just was humiliating, bro. So everybody at the school knew I didn't make the team. You're there at every practice the whole summer. You know, people people know what's going on. So when that happened, it makes you trauma hate hate that sport and things like that. So when it came back and became what it was, just for me to quit and be an artist and give up music at the time and how hard it used to be when I was in the rooms with my friends and my best friend who was an artist. And every time we're all getting together, he's playing new music and all that used to kill me, man. I used to have to leave the room because I would feel so sick to my stomach that I didn't have music and I wasn't an artist. Like it used to kill me. I used to be like, that's because I knew that's who I was inside, but it was like I felt like I was deep in, like, I don't even know if I love football the way that I did it. Maybe it was just a training aspect.

Maybe it was just the fact that I was found a way to elevate in life. I found my path of what I thought it was, but it was my path at that time, you know. So that's why it's like whatever it is in front of you, go hard at it and trust the process because whatever you're supposed to do is gonna reveal itself naturally. Like music found its way back to me naturally, you know what I mean? Like, and it just happened in a way where I was like, okay, yeah, this is what I've always wanted, let's do it. Yeah, so I mean, you know, you mentioned that you kind of you know, hung up football. Uh, you know, you had to make this decision of like, yo, if I want to go all in on the artist shit, I gotta go all in. Right. And like, what was that decision-making process like? Once the NCAA told me, you know what I mean? Like, you've been, you know, you violated the rules with you know, with putting out music and and on all platforms and and also utilizing your name. Is that a rule? Yeah, you well, it's a rule that you can't use your name and likeness. It was a rule, you can't use your lay name and likeness in the NCAA to make money. And I had a song called Go Dogs Out on all platforms, which had like, you know, basically like a UGA anthem.

And they're saying, you know, well, you have these UGA fans, you have this platform as a football player, you can't make money as a musician. And they just changed the rule last year. Good. But before, yeah, they were saying, like, you know, if you want to keep playing, take down all your songs, all the platforms and your social media posts and stuff like that. You said hell no. So I was like, I'm gonna finish out the season and drop out. Cause I already knew what I had musically. I I took some time to think about it, and then I was like, nah, this is what I'm doing. And my parents begged me not to drop out until they understood my grandparents, my management, everybody tried to talk me out of it at the time. But it's kind of like one of those things that you know who you are on the inside and you know what you can do. And I felt like I had, again, proved enough for myself, this is what I can do. And I knew with the amount of time put in what I could do, and I was like, you know, I'm willing to drop out, move back home, lose all the momentum of what I've built, and essentially have to restart and rebuild as an artist and prove that I'm hotter than all these other artists out here who have been doing it for years and years and years. Kind of like these football players who've been doing it for years and years and years, but it was like I knew like I'm gonna outwork these people, and then my talent's gonna show.

Cause at the end of the day, when you when you mix like hard work, something that you love, and like you know, like that passion, like you're gonna go crazy you're gonna be obsessed. It's not it's not gonna feel like work, you know what I mean. So when football and things like that, yeah, you gotta feel like it's not work, you gotta be obsessed with it. That's how you really know. Like, that's how you like you said, that superpower, man. It's just having all three of those together. So yeah, no, that's that's that's facts. That's a great one. Um so you take the leap of faith, right? And and you know, you start doing music full-time, you know, what was getting in the rhythm of that like, you know, because going from, you know, you are, you know, you always had something to do when you were playing football and doing school or whatever, right? But so kind of getting back to a point where you were just doing music, yeah. Did you feel like, oh fuck, like got a lot more free time. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Like, what do I do? How did you do it? I had a team already in place, man. I I didn't drop out with like no plan or no team or nothing. Like I already had some shit shaking. I had some people that were investing in me already.

I had mixes and masters, I had shows, I had, you know, some some streams already coming in. So I was like, you know what? Like, this is what we're gonna do. And at the time I had uh Bubba Sparks management who was managing me, and then um three days after I dropped out, I had this dude reach out to me named City Under Siege, who runs a label called Run It Up Records, and they're killing it. And uh he DM'd me and was like, yo, you're super dope. Like, I feel like you're a Post Malone 2.0. But listen, but this is how this dude reached out to me. So my so there's a guy who lives down the street who's an attorney down my street, and my dad knows him. My dad had sent him the 100 miles music video, like, yo, check this out. That guy was like, Oh, this is dope. While he checked out the music video, he was at lunch with that guy, City, sitting across from him. So then he's like, yo, check this out. This is my uh, this is my buddy's son. Yeah. So then he's watching it, he's like, oh, this dude is sick as fuck. Let me see his Instagram, checks out my stuff. DMs me, he was like, yo, you're hard as fuck, you're a post-malone 2.0.

That's how that happened. So then later on, I'm like, okay, cool. Well, let's link up some time, whatever. That night I go and meet that attorney who had, you know, met uh with with that dude, City, because we were going to Chops that night, basically, just to uh meet my team, who then was uh, you know, Bubba Sparks management. which caught fire last week. Yeah. What? Chops. It did? Yeah. I don't know. I just went there and spent like my whole life savings. Yeah, it's a lot of money. There's a huge fire. My buddy was there, they just evacuated everyone, no one paid. Oh, wow. Oh, hell no. It might have been the place right next to Chops. Oh, anyway. But yeah, bro, nice restaurant. So, anyways, yeah, my whole team was there. Steve, everybody was there. And um, man, like, so okay, yeah. So we we had that meeting at Chops. So before I go to Chops, whenever I go to meet my parents at the uh at the firm where you know the the lawyer was at who was just coming basically because he's a friend of my friend of my dad's and everything, and just you know, I guess just wanted to come because he likes Chops. He was like, you know, oh uh in passing, this dude Don Perry was there who is partners with a guy named Joel Cash, just a big entertainment consultant.

He's like, you know, oh, you should meet this guy, Wix Patton. So I come up, I dap him up. I'm like, what's up, man? Wix. He thought I was funny, so then we just you know chopped up a conversation and everything, and next thing you know, he was interested in me. And um that night at Chops, he just pulled up with City, and they just showed up out of nowhere, sat down at the table with us, paid for the whole thing, and was just like super interested, you know, met my parents and everything, and that night told me like your life's about to change from this night forward because I'm about to like step into your situation. So that's what happened. Like that next week, um, me and my management decided to part ways, and I started taking meetings with with major labels and everything. And so I got with Unk Camp like a week later, and shout out to Unk Camp. Well, so did that happen through the city? That happened through City. Well, City, City, City went and flew me out to LA that next week after meeting him to shoot the 100 miles music video. So we hadn't shot the video yet, we just had the song.

Let me rephrase that. My dad had just sent the 100 miles song to City, so City liked the song. The music video came after the meeting at Chops when we ate there. That next week he flew me out with City. Yeah, he's like, dude, we gotta shoot a video. Right. This shit's going in. He's going up right now. So I like how City moves. Yeah, me too. City, it was dope. Yeah. So they fly me out there. they have a Bentley, they have a freaking mansion. That's where I met this artist, Max Sauce. They were managing the artist Max Sauce in Atlanta. Sponsored by McDonald's. Nah, he's he's he's dope, man. He's got that song. Good morning. Today is a wonderful day today. Anyways. Yo, Max Sauce We'd love to have you on my burger. I mean, on the podcast. He's lit. He's lit. Okay. Shout out Max Sauce. But yeah. Good. Shout out Max Sauce. So yeah, got with them, man. Got the video and everything. Anyways, after that, end up getting with Unk Camp and doing a session with Big Corey. We do two songs and kind of kept in touch. Big Corey's Unk Camp. Yeah, Big Corey is Unk Camp. Yeah. He's a producer. He's a super producer, man. And he uh yeah, just

we started working together. Next thing you know, we were working like three times a week, four times a week, and then yeah, decided to just keep working with them. Yeah, I'm always interested. I mean, we talked about it a little bit off camera, but I want to you know get your take on it, you know, for everyone else to hear. What what have you liked working? What have you liked about working with Unk Camp? Right? Because I I'm always interested in like people getting into situations. Yeah, sometimes they work, sometimes they don't. You seem to be, you know, liking the you know, the yeah, I guess the workflow, like what do you like about it? I'm fortunate enough because they have a team of producers who can give me any kind of vibe that I'm looking for in a very high-level way. You got DJ Monte, who's a super producer who's a diamond level producer. He produced low by Flo Rida. Yeah, He produced Walk It out. He produced Two Step, he produced I Like That with Kehlani and T Pain. Uh, just a great producer, man. So I got stuff from him and and they're curating stuff for me. Big Corey, who's just creating all different types of genres for me.

And Dota and New Drip, who's who's creating high-level hip-hop stuff. He's got records with Future and Gunna and Thug and Saw Baby. And so I just I just I'm fortunate to have a high-level, you know, like selection of just different options. And I don't know, man. Just the bar is continually raised because they're they're working with different artists, you know, with EARTHGANG and Dreamville and Young Jeezy and different people like that. So I feel like I'm always trying to just make exciting stuff that they can be able to go and show off to people. Yeah, you know what I mean? Because they're taking major label deals, you know, it's meetings with me, and I got turned down by Def Jam, and I got turned down by 300. Not necessarily turned down. I don't even know if I'm supposed to disclose that, but just a one more time exclusive. Fuck you, uh Def Jam and 300. Took meetings with them and they didn't sign me. So I call that turning down. Do not represent the opinions of one more time. But look, but yeah, nah, but look, y'all know how it is, man.

And there's a timing for everything. So you know, at some points you gotta level you, you don't even showcase what you you know necessarily have in you, maybe at that period of time. So you gotta keep leveling up and going through life and becoming the person that you're meant to be. So it ain't even, I don't even trip about it. They're just hard L's in the moment, you know. No, for sure, but it's it's interesting. So Unk Camp is the label, though, right? Atlantic Global Music is a label. So okay, but it's it's affiliated with Unk Camp. Yeah, it's really with Unk Camp because basically Unk Camp is the production side of the label, and then they brought in RZ3, who was the management side, um, which was Tricky Stewart and their team. Yeah, Major, but that's that's so interesting because I mean I think that you know, we've talked about you, you know, we're kind of doing our own little label thing here at one more time, you know, music and like Henry obviously being a producer. I think it's cool that you have that at your disposal because you don't always have that. Yeah, some of these majors, of course, have publishing entities that they have producers signed to them, you know, on a publishing deal or whatnot, but it's kind of cool that you found the most value, honestly, in the fact that they bring you producers. Yeah, man, you just gotta build a team, man.

That's why everybody's everybody's playing a role, and that's why I've just tried to play my role to the fullest. Whether I was a writer, whether I'm an artist, but I made it that way. Yeah, but I made I made sure that I was gonna be the best artist on the roster or wherever I was at, and I had to work my way up to gain that respect to work with some of these guys, and like uh I'm different than any artist Unk Camp has ever had, I know for sure. And so I don't know. I just I embrace the fact that I'm an individual, and I think that that's allowed me to be able to explore more and more of who I am as a person and then who I can be as an artist and you know what type of people I can touch. Because as a you know, as a person growing up, I've been able to connect to all kinds of people and all different types of social groups and circles and all of that. I don't know. I've always just found that empathy with people or just that connectability, relatability, and I've just tried to showcase that with music, you know. No, for sure. So I'm not sure if you want to share. We were kind of playing some unreleased shit. I mean, what's on the roadmap for you, you know, coming up?

Can we get a one more time exclusive? We can get a one more time exclusive. Let's go. What's going on? What are you dropping next? I'm dropping John Wicks, that's the next single. John Wicks. And um and the video is fucking fire. Show my boys the video. And the song Is fucking fire, but the song's not new to maybe a lot of your fans. Nah, man. The this song has been has been a staple song for me since 2019. Without being released. It's not out. But it's not out. So that shows you artists that he actually doesn't recommend doing this. But if you feel the need to not release a song, you can still have it be part of your show. You know, uh everything's the right time, man. Sometimes you know you just need the right, sometimes you just want the right justification for what you feel like your art needs to represent, right? Yeah. And you just don't have that budget then, or you just don't have the right situation, or you're just like, man, like I know what this song deserves. I know how it can be appreciated and presented if I can just bring it together. So I get it. But for me, man, I just needed to find my look, man. Like a whole year and a half of artist development for me was figuring out my label, trying to figure out who the hell I was and like what I was, you know, and all these things, and they're trying to figure out what I should look like and all these things.

But then what was dumb was the whole time I just needed to naturally become who I was and find that naturally and not try to be fit some type of image that people wanted or people thought I was or anything like that, but just being me. So I don't know, that's one of the coolest things. Like what you know, what were some of those artists development meetings like? Like you know, what I mean, were you looking up like Google images of like no, not at all? You know what I mean. They're bringing in real, they're bringing in real stylists, and and and like, and like I don't even know the where I guess like you like real artists developers, like these people were looking at they had my color palettes held up, they had pictures of me, they had um different choreography training they thought I should do. They had different everything, everything how I needed to do my hair, which hair stylist I needed to go to, what color my hair needed to be, uh, what type of colors, outfits look best on me, all types of angles, what angles look best on me. That's crazy. Yeah, they found all these things, man, and then with music videos and all this stuff like that, what I realized you just have to do it. Like, you know, and I got pissed off that it's all love, but I got pissed off that one of my managers had told me, uh, you know, I said, like, some of his artists had been doing some uh artist rehearsals with the choreographer and everything, and kind of like, you know, at a uh studio and all that, and I was wanting the same thing, and he was just like practicing the mirror.

He just said, just make sure you just keep practicing the mirror. And that shit pissed me off. But you do need to earn it. I get that you should earn it or whatever. But I was I felt like I felt like I made the team, but I wasn't like a vet, so I wasn't getting that treatment. You know what I'm saying? I felt like UGA being a walk-on and not on scholarship and certain amenities that I didn't get back then. Like I was like Slow down, Rook. Slow down, Rook. I ain't like that shit, bro. And so I was like, I'm gonna start. I'm gonna start doing it. I was like, you know, I'm gonna start, I'm gonna start being the king of these showcases then, because I already knew what I was talking about. I wasn't just like an independent artist by myself with nobody underground, With nothing. I at least had a team. So I was like, you know what, I'm gonna go and just like, you know, these showcases are hitting me up. I'm gonna just tell them, I'm like, yeah, make me the headliner, I'll pull up. And so then they're making me the headliner, they're giving me a little minute. I'm doing four songs or whatever. And I'm doing live, what I viewed live practice. I was getting to go and perform with a band. I was doing these Tuesday nights, these twisted Tuesdays with this band called Nobody Band, and bringing out our own fan base. You know, we're packing out these shows and we're just creating this movement.

And I and I realized, you know, I grew up watching MGK and Mike Stud and G-Eazy, just different artists like that had Wiz Khalifa that had these movements, man, that were just so raw that like You've seen their shows, You've seen their tour vlogs, and I was like, this is the way I need to do it. I can't just be no end, like like somebody who just pops out with these crazy ass videos out of nowhere and everything like that. Like people need to see the journey, my hustle, man, and me and me come up. But at the same time, you know, like when things kind of popped off after me dropping out, like I moved fast. I tried to move all this momentum, so I felt like I needed everything to be a certain way, which was also why I held the records. But you know, it's all hard work and I don't know, man. Yeah. No, it's crazy. You're gonna Ben's gonna hate you if this sign's not. straight. Oh, Sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry. He would take so much time. Hey, I'm not that anal. Pretty, you kinda are, but I love you for it. But yeah, speaking of uh taking hard work, you're gonna need to really step your game up for this last segment of the One More Time podcast. Henry, where are we at? Yeah.

And he's just I guess I don't know. If you're talking about shit and it doesn't ride, then who cares what you're talking about? Yeah, you're right. You could say gibberish.
