I mean, really, we just got you on to talk about your uh somewhat newest release. Uh Titty Tuesday, TT. That's really that's really all we got you on for, man. That's it. That's it. That's what I'm about to come in with doing a whole bunch of titties out. We're gonna talk about this for a whole hour. I'm gonna get every every backstory.

We could, but we shouldn't. Nah, man. Um, so I think I know the answer, but like what what inspired the record? I ain't gonna lie. Uh what inspired the record? Shout out my nigga, shout out my boy Vo. He wrote the record, actually, me and him both. Oh, uh so he got the titties on Tuesday. Yeah, he definitely got the titties on Tuesday. Okay. Um, Woody McClain produced it. Uh shout out my boy Woody, no Diddy. Um but it's definitely that. It was a great record. It was inspired by all type of size of breasts. A cup, B cup, C. All the way to G. All the way to G. Don't you F with me. Okay. But yeah, though, definitely. That definitely inspired the song. But like, so did the did the writer of the record just like just consistently received tit pics and was just like, you know what? Is the cover art a real text he got? Yeah. No, definitely not. But Invisible Inc. Real. Everything about that record is real. And I don't even, bro. If only y'all knew. It's a real story to Titty Tuesday, and it's coming out with another like sequel.

Like, I'm shooting like a um a short film. Yeah, it's gonna call it's gonna be called Low Key, and it's gonna explain everything like that's been going on with me and women in five songs. I'm gonna shoot like a movie though. Ooh, shit. Can you give us like a little teaser? Like what has been going on with you and women? Titty Tuesdays. Okay. So are you single? Yeah. Oh, that was that was a pause. That was he answered that. I'm saying very carefully. Technically, there's nothing with a title on me right now. Okay. You feel me? Yeah, I'm I'm into somebody right now, however that go, but I'm a grown ass man, so I know how that go, But nah, sure. I don't have an actual old lady in a relationship. Dang, man. Um, so I accidentally, all right. So I listen to YouTube videos on 1.5x sometimes, right? If they're interviews and shit to just like get through it. Of course. I listened to Titty Tuesday. Sped up. Accidentally sped up. How did it go? It was fire. You have to release that version. I need to hear it. You have to release it. Yeah, I'll play it for you after this.

You have you have to release it. That doesn't change the pitch of it. Y'all heard it here first. It was so good. I was like, oh my god, like this is incredible. And then I realized it because I had heard a snippet, and I was like, this sounds a little different. Slowed up, sped up. See, but that doesn't change the pitch of it. The best sped up songs, also the pitch goes up a little bit with it. So you can experiment a little if you do it. I gotta hear that. I'm so serious. Yeah, I think you need to. I'm definitely gonna tap in. Are you someone? Have you done the whole like multiple versions release yet? I've been doing that since 2019, 2020. Like, we'll speed some up, slow the BPM down on the beat, whatever. All that high pitched the voice up. I did it with Audacity. Oh Audacity is three years old, two, two and a half years old, almost three years old. Okay. And I pitched that voice up, even though Sonny begged me to like, bro, go back to the regular voice. But I was like, ah, it's all type of shit going on. Session here is there. Fuck it. Is Audacity the one that was shot at Magic City? Yeah. It's Serge Gang. Okay, I'm so glad that you brought this up and I didn't have to. So how does how does one go about like on a Sunday, 11 o'clock in the morning?

Okay. I was like, how do we do this? It's Like man, bro. Shout out, shout out Jordan, real white Russian. Shout out um Juju, shout out everybody who had a uh a part take in that, you know, putting that together for me. But it was really that that simple. Like I don't win at magic and fucked it up a couple times. So if you use your if you use your your shit right and not burn it out, you know what I'm saying? You could just hey, make the right call. I'm trying to do this, and then they ain't asking for nothing for free, but they still show love. So yeah, it's all about a call. So what's the most you've thrown at Magic? Come on, bro. about a 30. Oh, the 30. Man, I'm gonna go. Man, compared to what? Wait, damn. Compared to what other people that's actually from Atlanta did in there? Yeah. Get the fuck out of here. I know. But like to us, I give him shit for spending like $530. Oh, wait, I'm gonna keep it a bean. All that worth my money? Okay. The hair, all that worth my money.

That was the label money, me? Yeah, some of that got a write-off for me, but nigga, who y'all in there going crazy. It's a write-off. It's a shit show. It's a business. Mute that. So, so obviously, you know, the short film is coming out that's gonna, you know, detail and I guess like, you know, document your relationship with women. Feel a low key. What percentage of your fan base is women? Like 70 to 80. No. Okay. You go to my shows, it's women. Oh you're gonna spot some, you're gonna spot a few real niggas in the crowd, but most of the people that's there from the balcony to the top floor, left to right, it's women. Wow. I love it. I wouldn't want to no other way. They're the best types of fans to have. I love it. Yes. I love it. They spend more on merch and tickets, tickets and t-shirts, that's all it's about. Yeah, ain't about nothing else but tickets and t-shirts. There you go. So do you I guess like channel that energy when you're like making records, like knowing that your fan base is so heavily skewed to women, you know what I mean? Like, I guess how does that impact the way you move, like with the music shit? With the music shit, it impacts me to a level of like, I would say yes and no.

Okay, like I will go in there in the booth and the beat how to talk to me. If you give me a beat to where it's a little slower and it's trapped out a little bit, I may talk about the pain I'm going through in the streets, the pain I'm going through through a drug addiction, the pain I'm going through with this woman at this time, it'd be a it'd be a mixture. Yeah, you know what I'm saying? Yep, it's a lot of storytelling I'm doing though when it comes to these shits. Which is. since we are vibed out for the ladies right now, you mind hitting that candle? That's how we say that. So with with 70 to 80% of the Seti Hendrix fan base being women. Yes, sir. Can we give your I don't know if you've already done this? Can we name your fan base? Have you have you given any thought to like what we would name? What would I name my, oh shit. You know, like like the Chris Brown got what's Chris Brown? I don't know. Beyonce, like what they Beehive. The Beehive is Beyonce, the barbs is obviously Nicki, right? Team Breezy. Sure. So like what's what's Seti's fan base? Let's name it right now. I need one. You need it. I do.

It's a tough on the spot question. I need one, though. Well, let's just give it a try. Give it a few. Uh let's throw one out. You go first. Come on, bro. Said heads. Said heads. Sounds like deadheads with the grateful dead. Sure. Said heads. What about you? I mean, that's kind of hard. I don't know. Said heads. That's my best shot. Are y'all judging me already? No, I'm not judging you. Why are you still looking at me? I gotta come up with another one. The sexy saids. I don't know. That's a no. That's kind of lame. No. Okay. What about the Settingtons? Oh, it sounds royal. The setting tons. Regal. Yeah. Fuck no. You sound British, bro. Setting tons. Yeah. Okay, I'm I really want to find that name though. We gotta come back to that. Cause I do need a name for sure. It should be female friendly, though. Obviously, like have them in mind. That's why I went to sexy saids. Well, he already try again. Okay. So Barry Hefner uh tweeted um something about super fans. He said he was like in a label meeting, or I I yeah, I'm not sure where he was, but he basically had someone define super fans as people who have listened to five or more songs by an artist 20 or more times.

Yep. That's what he heard someone define super fan. Do you like think that that's accurate? You know what I mean? Because I was kind of thinking, like, what is a super fan? right? I feel like there's levels to that. There's levels to everything. I wouldn't disagree with that, but I wouldn't totally agree. Sure. What do you think a super fan needs to do? Like, you know, super fan? Yeah, like what metrics are we hitting? Man, a super fan need to know every song. Every song that I've ever, every song that I've ever released, from the time I started doing music to the time I stopped, or to the time they got on me. And you still gotta know everything. Because if you're a super fan, you finna go back. Oh, that's the best part. So you gotta know every lyric to every song. Yeah, oh, every lyric. too. You ain't know just 20 times. No. You gotta have at least one tat that resembles someone commented. You need to have one tattoo that resembles me or my name or my music or what I helped you get through, whatever the case it is, one tattoo that resembles me. Okay, I yep. I'm with you.

You gotta come to at least 70 to 80% of the shows. I don't give a fuck where they are. Around the country. I don't care where they are. Oh man, he was. I literally have fans. I don't have fans and have them still that fly out where I'm at. That's crazy. They don't care, like that, and they will come to every, it don't matter if it's a brother, had one girl come on the tour, bro. She literally went to damn near every other city. Wow. The whole tour. This is two months. I'm on road. She went to every other city, bro. Did she get fired from her job? Like, what was she? I ain't gonna lie. I should have asked to that. I damn sure did ask him, how do you keep making it to these shows? She just hit me with a I'm here. I'm here. That group of fans needs their own name. Exactly. Those are like a super duper fan. The elite fucking. No, but I mean, those were a lot of the comments, right? Because he basically said, like, let's discuss, right? Because he didn't necessarily agree or disagree. He just said someone at in the meeting that he was in categorized, like that's what a super fan means. No, that's a little more than that. Yeah. That's a little more than that. I think for the

for the label meeting and the data and you know the numbers that they're looking at. I think it helps for that to be I mean the qualifications to get in there. If they get that many people listen to five songs 20 times, then you know, we may maybe make this much money, or we think we can sell this many tickets at a show. So I think it's just a tool. No, I think the show attendance is big. Yeah. I think merch purchases probably, right? Like I think a super fans buying merch and coming to shows. For sure. I think they're financial. And they know every lyric. Yeah, and and I do think they're probably front row. Like screaming it every time. The tat's crazy though, but like someone's next. Hold up, tats. I got you tatted. I'm an official. Like real life. So what's your relationship like with your fans? Like how often are we engaging with them? Like, what's your I love them? I love them like my mama had them. Well, I try my best to like reply back to every last one. I got the the Instagram. This is one of the smartest things they could have did. That channel shit. Yeah. Bro, I'd be broadcasting. I'd be in that channel.

Like, I'll be sending them funny ass clips. We just be talking. I let somebody become the broadcaster, like a random person. You broadcast this day. But can you do that? Oh because you can't talk back. I know, but you can make somebody uh uh um like a moderator or something and and they can talk, they can talk like that one specific person. Are you we're gonna do this? Are you taking notes? Okay, okay, this is genius. There you go. Because I looked at the broadcast channel as like annoying because I was like, they can't talk back. Why you ain't do a poll for questions? Like, right? We did that. Well, we've we've tried we're just not good at it yet. City. All right, give us a fucking break. are y'all not good at it, or are y'all not trying to reply back to all them people? We're still new at it, and yeah, we've done the poll. He just called us out, dude. No, but it's not that. I don't think it's that at all. I don't think it is either, but like it's hard. It's hard to manage all the things. Like, just building a platform, whether you're an artist or like you know, a podcast, whatever, like it's tough to juggle, man. Like, I mean, I go through my DMs, I say mine, our DMs from the podcast. Yeah. And it's it's tough to keep up, bro. It's real. So I I can only imagine that like someone at your scale, and then you start looking at artists of even other scales.

I'm going through them. Yeah. I've been like this is when I since I first got into music. I would literally go through every try my best. I'd have spent hours like going through just, hey, double like replies. I don't want to leave you on scene, so I'm a double like, I'm a heart, I'm a whatever it is, just so you know, you never know. But that bro, that one heart, that one double like uh blow they mind for the rest of the night, right. You made their day. What? They like bro, they replied. They ain't gotta post and repost everything, but I make sure I try to reply to every last one of them. I talk to them every day. That's huge. Yeah, I think even just to your point, taking the little bit of time that you can to just even engage. Just talk to them. Just engage real quick, it's gonna go a long way, especially if you're consistent. That's a clip, yeah. No, it's so real. Mandatory. what kind of responsibility do you feel? Like, it sounds like you feel like you have a pretty big responsibility to your fans. Man, they gotta see me be the best. I gotta get one Grammy. Okay, I need one plaque. Let's go. I need you said diamond record, Yeah, I need a diamond DGB. I need a diamond record. Okay,

I need a Grammy. I'm good. Okay, I'm done. Yeah, I get one diamond record, I get one Grammy. I don't give a fuck what it's for. As long as it got something to do with music, yeah. I'm done. Y'all can have it. Like, I gotta wash my hands. I'm I owe them that much to them see me like get to this this point. Like, because I know I'm that nigga, bro. I know I'm fine. Yeah. Like, it don't, it ain't a fat nigga trash or he suck, or he ain't I know I'm fine. How much do you think successful artists all have that attitude? Dude. Do you think all of them do? They all should. Okay. But have you met because you've obviously met tons of artists that are in the mix, right? For sure. Do the majority have that like I'm that guy attitude, or are some Some have it, some a little arrogant with it. Oh, some a little disrespectful with it. Some are humble with it. Even though I took the humble word out of my vocabulary, it is what it is. Why'd you do that? Because I looked up what it really mean. What does it mean? It basically just means to lower yourself to keep another motherfucker happy. Ooh.

Basically. Basically. Interesting. It's not that word for word, but I just summarize it. That's the cliff notes. Yeah, basically. That's what it, that's what it is. But uh uh, I've ran into a lot of people who felt like that in the industry. Like, I'm him, I'm really that. It don't really stick to me. It don't really stick. It sounds like something good to say. Cause you in front of somebody who really look in your eyes like, yeah, like this really that. But, you know, kudos to everybody who I you know what I'm saying feel like they that. Sorry, adjusting. Loud as fuck. Have you done this before? What? Podcasting? Yeah. First time. Okay. We talked about new boom arms. We'll talk about it later. Well, we also talked about how we hadn't done this in a while. So I was like, maybe he's just a little rusty. A little nervous. Just in the middle. He's getting red. Oh my god. It's kind of warm in here, huh? It's a little warm. No, man. Um, so what's what's like your favorite part about being an artist? Would you say? Being an artist. Yeah. Freely being able to create whatever I want when I want. How I want.

That's my favorite part about it. About being an independent artist. I mean, not my fault. I would just say an artist, period. Yeah, but being independent too, but and I don't want nobody to feel like, oh, he's getting independent, independent, bro. Like, that label shit work for you at work. If this shit worked for me, I'm going back. However it goes, however it goes. Life, you never know. But yeah, you're not like anti-labeling. Oh, hell nah. What the fuck? No, sir. Yeah, but people probably think that you I don't know. I feel like there's probably people out there that are like, oh yeah, he's gonna be the said he said fuck fuck the label guy. It's never, it's never fucked them, man. It's never fucked them. I love them, bro. I appreciate them for everything they did. They let me stand on their shoulders and and and and do what I had to do to be in the position I am right now. What I will say is though, like a lot of shit is just dead. A lot of shit dead is what it is, you feel me? But I made a decision to walk away. Yeah, it this should have felt a lot different if I got dropped. Yeah. You know? No, no disrespect or shade thrown to people who have got dropped from label, because life happens, shit happens. You feel me?

But I never I never say just fuck them boys. Yeah. You feel me? If you were to title the chapter of your career with Jen now versus like this chapter that you're in now, let's like give You're doing a titling exercise? Let's just give these two. You should be able to give me a damn name for my group, two people with all these titles. I'm just saying, you're the creative guy. out here. You're right. You're right. I'm just the guy that asked the fucking question. I would say there's a reason why I'm not over there. You know what I'm saying? You're right. Yeah. Uh I'll call it patience. Patience. I say patience. I was gonna say a sentence, time, heals all time heals everything, but we just wrapped that up with patience. Okay, and how about now? What chapter are we in? Evolving. Oh, growing. Yeah. Evolving and growing like a motherfucker. Did you have patience going into that? Or did you fuck no? Okay, so you had to try your best. Still learning to this day. I ain't perfect. Dude, I'm the same way. I'm not perfect. I got a long way to go. He knows. He knows. I'm trying. That's what matter.

I'm trying. That's you trying. I'm trying hard, but it is a slow process. But when I feel like once you ever you ever caught yourself like learning out, like, oh, I'm being patient to some shit that you know you would have like. But doesn't it sound basic when you when you like acknowledge, you like acknowledge it? You don't know how to sit still. Why am I so happy with this like slight level of patience that I just achieved? Because, bro, you know where you come from. You know, like you used to just snap in it, like, alright, fuck it, I could've done myself. Fuck it. I got it. But I had to learn just like Ooh, sah, breathe, one, two, three, and just let things be what they gonna be. Like, let life take its course. Yeah, and I think patience is so important in like the team sport that we're all in. Yeah, like music is a team sport, our business is a team sport. I just had I've had two kids under two now, and that's a fucking team sport, like raising children. Yeah, that's crazy. Yeah, it is crazy. Thank you. Well, it's insane. Uh one of each, yeah. So I have a I have an almost two-year-old, and then I have a five-month-old daughter, and like that has been the ultimate patience, ultimate patience. No patience off the bat.

I mean, I haven't I haven't beat them yet, so I guess I'm doing like you're doing amazing. You're doing amazing. Yeah, my patience is through the roof now. But no, man, I just feel like in the in the sport of music, like collaboration is so important, and I feel like if you're not patient with your collaborators or the business partnerships that you have, right? Because every business partnership is not gonna be like smooth sailing. And that's what people need to know. Like, yeah, and they all don't gotta end in bad blood. No, even even if the if the middle was getting turmoil and bad blood, they don't have to continue to go like that. And everything, every relationship is not meant to be kept in this way, it can be moved and shift to a whole nother way. And I wish I learned patience with a lot of things before I made certain decisions I made, but you know, learning, I wouldn't know. I gotta, I gotta, in order to do better, you gotta know better. What do you think is the hardest part of like the journey ahead? You know what I mean? Just just like looking into the future, like, you know, what where do you see like the potential biggest like hurdles or struggles that you know you're gonna have to grind through? I gotta I gotta let go of certain habits, There's certain addictions and certain habits that I got that I keep under the stove.

And I gotta learn to just really separate them and let them like not even separate them, leave them alone, like let certain shit be. I get certain inspiration and certain music and certain things that came from these bad habits and certain things that I know I need to let go of. But that's the that's the tough part. That's the part. So I need to, I'm I need to get there like that. Even when I get to that level of success, what is that level of success? Um, I have to get past that. Yeah, it's crazy because I feel like some of the most amazing music comes from the most fucked up, craziest, weirdest, the most it's just it's is fucked up. Some music, some great music come from literally the most boring nothing. Or the nigga, I'm just that the best me. Like it is what it is. So it's like a I'm just trying to find a balance in this shit constantly. Yeah, damn. Yeah, no, that's that's tough, right? Because if you've created something beautiful during those like kind of fucked up times in your life, or like, you know. It's like, was those times really fucked up? We got to look at the beauty of this shit. Exactly. Oh my god. What do you

how do you find inspiration if you're struggling to find shit to write about? I call my mama, or uh I go check my bank account. That bitch ain't that bitch. Just stare at that number on your phone. That bitch ain't got no M. yet. There aren't enough zeros. There's not enough zeros for sure. It's Only six digits. This is bullshit. We need to keep this shit going. We need to turn it up some more. Or I call my mama. I call my mama, or I talk to my niece and my nephew, or I just I go to some water. I'll really be quick to go to some water and just like, this ain't enough. Or just like I just I need more. Yeah, you're an LA guy. I love LA. Go to the beach. I go to the beach a lot. Yeah. Go to the beach. a lot. I go to the water a lot, period. Yeah. And he's a Duval County guy. Yeah, Jacksonville, Florida, for sure. Let's go. Love that water. Yeah. Who's coming out of the city right now? Out of Jax? Yeah, like are you tapped in? Man, it's it's his artist name Magnolia Queso. Okay.

Magnolia.Queso. Magnolia.Queso. Hardest rapper out of Jacksonville, Florida. Really? Lyrically going fucking crazy. That boy will rap people under the table. Damn. But that, but just to be clear. I snapped that too. That's a tree and cheese. Okay. Okay. All right. Okay. What does that have to do? Well, why are you Cheat cheats. Why are you doing that? I'll just check it. Why you why are you doing that? I'm gonna check him out. I'm gonna go listen to his music. Nah, that's what y'all don't know. I promise you. I really will. I promise. I do know. You're gonna do it. I know you one of the ones. He's one of the ones, though, bro. If you say so, I'm gonna listen. I promise to you lyrically, he's fire, bro. Just period. He just needs some more focus. He just gotta get around the right shit. Are you are you like doing this for Jax at all? Like, you know what I mean? Like how come on, man? Yeah. Okay, I didn't know because some artists don't really give a fuck, but like some are. I just mean some don't have that like like intense allegiance to their. I mean, that's because some of them they either can't go back to their city or they city fuck them over, or they feel like, which like some people may have the right to feel like fuck the city. Yeah.

But bro, like I owe everything to my family, I owe everything to Duval, though. Yeah. You feel me? And then at one point, people used to tell me, bro, let that shit go. Let it go. Let it go. I know when to back the fuck up. I know when to wash my hands with certain shit in the city, but it's just something about me, bro. Like I just, I love that city. I got so much plans for Duval, bro. I got so much shit to do for that city, bro. Besides the parks, besides the giving back and besides all that, like, but I really want my own hospital down there. I want my own health care. I really want like secret certain projects, and I'm not even gonna speak on it. I don't even want people to know it's me. I want to give it to uh another person in Jacksonville. I want my city to have the same stain as Miami. I want Jacksonville to have the same stain as uh Manhattan, LA. Like when you because right now when you hear Jacksonville, you hear it. It's a lot of people booming out of that city. There's a lot of artists, a lot of stuff going on. But man, I'm trying to turn that bitch up so big. So I feel like your interest outside of music, like you're definitely super interested into fashion. Yeah.

Right? Like, how important is being fly as a rapper still? I mean, I don't know as a rapper, but I just like being fly. It's important to me to be fly to feel fly. And it don't gotta be designed as long as you feel fly. Yeah. As long as you feel fly. I can't help the fact that what I put on is, you know. But can a regular looking dude wearing regular shit be a famous rapper? Yeah, I just seen, I done seen some folks come around in Nike tech suits, clean as hell. they ice really make the suit. Like they done literally had on some phone posits and a gray all Nike tech suit. But they got chains, but they got two chains on. That's still, you see, but I'm talking about nothing. We're talking about we're talking about jewelry, without no jewelry? Just no jury. Yes, you can be flea. Come around fresh as hell, no jury, no nothing. What if they're not fresh, then you're just not fresh. But can you still be a famous rapper? Yeah. Looking like me or Henry. Bro, yes. Yes. Really? Yes. I know y'all know a lot of rappers, right? No. you don't. I don't have the name. Come on, bro. That y'all know don't have to be. Don't be, don't be crappy. They don't worry about it. But they they turnt.

They bank account turnt, they plaques turnt, everything turnt. they fashion may not be turnt. Wait, now I'm actually what who's the most average looking famous rapper? I don't know. I think you used to have to be fly. I think it used to be more. important. Yeah, you had to, yeah, you had to be fly back in the day. No, no. Every big rapper was most Def was not most Def. You're right. Talib Kweli and Most Def was not fly. They weren't. A Tribe Called Quest used to have their moments where they would fly. They had moments. Yeah, Five Dog was wearing like a Georgia Tech jersey. That's what I'm saying. Like, you feel me? Like, it was niggas wasn't really fly. Okay. But that's actually a good point. Yeah. There's exceptions, I guess. Shout out to Chance the Rapper. Okay, well, he's not fly. Chance Rapper don't be fly, but Chance the Rapper. He put on overalls and shit. I couldn't rock that. His music is turnt, his plaques is turnt, everything is turnt. So you're still rocking with Chance. Chance the rapper? Yeah. What the hell wrong with Chance the Rapper? A lot of people gave up on Chance the Rapper, bro. Why? Acid Rap? The big day was why they gave up on him. Acid rap was great.

What's the big day? What happened? Exactly. Exactly. What are y'all talking about? Yo, tell him, bro. Well, it's just an album he dropped. It was horrible. Man, tell him what happened, bro. What do you mean what happened? He dropped a not good album. I feel you. Are you that but that's y'all job? Y'all gotta critique stuff like that. That's cool. I don't want to do that. It's cool. I didn't know that good. It's Chance the Rapper, though, bro. Like, I didn't know. he's fire. Acid Rap is So good though. I love that, like, seriously. I would put acid rap up there like. How high? Top 25 mixtapes of all time. Facts. It's up there with Good Kid M.A.A.D City, damn near. Good Kid, M.A.A.D City album. It's a hot take. That was hotter than I'm gonna go. We are here for that. bro. I'm just saying, Good Kid, M.A.A.D City is a is a super best tape. One of the best tapes ever to come out in history, period. Of hip hop, period. That's my favorite album. of all time, probably. I'm saying I'm saying, I'm saying, Chance the Rapper around that time acid rap came out. That tape was pretty crazy, bro. So we just interviewed some people at Rolling Loud. And so one of the guys from No Jumper. Okay. His take was that YG's My Crazy Life album. Facts.

One of them ones. He said greatest album of all time. It's not greatest, but it's damn sure one of the ones. Oh, I feel like that's up there with Good Kid. That's what I'm saying. Like in that sense. Like My Crazy Life Acid Rap, Good Kid Mad City. So what's your favorite album of all time? Of all time? Yeah. Just one. I gotta choose one. I mean, just for this argument, yeah. For this argument. Yeah, just like greatest album of all time. What is it? My Dark Twisted Fantasies. It's so good. My Dark Twisted Fantasies. Amazing. Yeah. It's So good, bro. I'm a Kanye baby though. So I love Kanye. Andre 3000, Erykah Badu, Lauryn Hill, Mos Def, Kanye. You know what I'm saying? Like Chief Keef, Jeezy. I'm that, I'm that type of baby. Yeah. How do you feel like about the state of music right now? There's like a lot of people that are so negative. It sucks.

It sucks to a degree. Wow. Okay, so like what's a lot. It's a bro, it's a it's a lot of fucking rappers, bro. Yeah. Very true. So a lot. So at the end of the day, like we need to at least get a sub genre so we can immediately separate it and it'd be it'd be a lot different. Like hip hop is the only one who does not have no sub. We don't have a sub genre. We're the only ones that don't have a sub. Every other place got a different type of rap. We we need you got emo rap, you got conscious rap, you got geek music, you got turnt up, you got drill, you got soulful drill, you got soulful gospel, soulful street. Like it's it's it's too many different type of genres of hip hop for us not to have a different, you know what I'm saying? So you're saying that that we need a new one? We need sub genres, bro. We have you just named a bunch. We don't, but what I'm talking about solidified, uh like they need to be stamped with credentials behind it, like as if country, uh country rock or oh man, like those are different sub genres. like labeled on Spotify. Like this needs to be labeled, real titles, not just something we just putting out on the playlist and y'all saying no, this need real deal shit.

But do you feel like that boxes the music in? Or do you you're a fan of that? What the hell you think we doing now? I don't know. What are we doing? You don't think you don't think they they hip hop is a is boxed in right now? I'm open to hear why. Why do you think that? Because bro, I when fans can predict the next thing that's finna come out, when they can like bro, you go through them comments, bro. You hear this music, bro. I do. So exactly, you know what I'm talking about. Like when a fan, a regular person with 200 fucking followers and probably ain't got no real good taste in music, can say something and it actually makes sense. Where it's like, damn, like this person does suck, and it's coming from a person who don't even fucking know music. And y'all will probably be like, well, why are you listening to him? Because look at the comment that this person just made it makes sense. Profound from this guy. Like just listen to rap for the. first time. When you can quote the next lyric that's about to come out, bro, that a person finna say is like, bro, this shit is it's over with. Okay. We need to spice this shit up. Like we need to keep. Nowadays, bro, it's finna be rappers going, you gonna have to like, you need to know how to engineer yourself, play the guitar, play the drum, backflip, jump through a hoop of fire. Like it's finna be so much shit a rapper's finna have to know how to do now.

You got everybody shooting in one shot now. Everybody wanna be a director slash rapper now. Like it's it's is it's too much, the copycat and mimicking is damn near at a at a point where it's like, bro, it's too much copy and paste. It was cool to deal with 10 years ago, but that's what we had to deal with. Yeah, so how do you challenge yourself, right? Uh on the songwriting side of things. Because it sounds like you were taking shots at like a lot of the bars and lyrics being just like the same old copy paste, whatever. What's what's like a steady songwriting session, right? Or just like you coming up with lyrics. Like talk to us about like how you make sure that you're not falling victim to that, like, oh, I said the same shit. Shit, I would hear it, I hear it and be like, I can't say that, scratch that. Or I asked the homies, everybody around, like, hey, I said that before. Because I freestyle, I don't write no. Oh, y'all really fucking with that. And my thank god I got some real real niggas around me. Not no yes, man. They, yeah. And they'll not go back in. Oh nah, bro.

That was too basic. Like, I'm I be I be hard on myself when it's time to critique about that. So you so you punch in? Yeah, I punch in. Sometimes I have one take. I flow all the way through that bitch, but y'all punch in. Okay. Yeah. You're not like pen and paper. I want to learn. Cause what, what, what if what if something come out of that pen and paper? Who knows? I've tried. I've tried. I even tried to go to the booth with it. It just always ended up doing this. Like rapping it, rapping it. So what is one thing that you like are set on learning as of recently, right? Piano and guitar. Oh, okay. I want to be able to come out the shirt on stage. Oh. With the guitar. As someone who has, say what you need to say. need to say. Yeah, I'm trying to do all that on stage. Is the Hendrix Foundation gonna allow that? Yeah, I'm good. I think I'm good now. I think I'm good now. As someone who has 70 to 80% women as their fan base, I think you do need to be able to play piano or guitar. I do. I do, bro. Or dance. Like, I don't know, can you dance? I can two-step. I got a mean two-step. Oh, okay. I want to learn how to really, really dance, though. I used to try to dance as a jit. Yeah. Oh nah. You forgot or what?

Yeah, I did. I lost it. I don't need to know how to I got a mean two-step right now. I want to learn how to actually like, you know, Chris Brown is motherfucker. Yeah, I feel like seriously, if you have the ladies as your fans, it's like play an instrument, sing like crazy, or dance like crazy. I mean, ideally, all of them. And ideally have a six-pack, so I don't know how you're doing there. I definitely got a six-pack. Okay, well, there you go. It's doing great. I'm definitely learning how to sing without auto-tune, because my fans love the fact I've been I've been eased up off the auto-tune, but I've been real. Are you taking vocal lessons? Vocal lessons, piano lessons. What's one thing that you've learned most recently in your vocal lessons? Like just so people that understand, like what are you actually learning to do? Like you sing it from here. Oh, yeah. You sing it from and then the more you the breath, like however much you hold your breath, and you you gotta like push it out. Like it's like the vocals are sitting on air, like, and they're getting pushed out. So you really gotta like vocalize and you know what I'm saying. It sounds trippy. I feel like singers is is it's these

niggas divas. And they turn you into, damn near they turn you into a diva, bro. Like, what do you mean? Man, bro, you gotta be you can't walk in certain rooms with with with it. I gotta have uh uh uh what's them what's them shits that be uh like a humidifier? or some shit? I gotta have like three, four in a room. Some tea with like a bunch of oil. Tea every 30 minutes. Like niggas is pouring straight honey and just drinking the honey like by itself. Like it's like Spoonful. it's crazy, bro. Yeah, it turned you into one of them. Oh my god. It's dope, though. It's dope. So what are you most excited about for the rest of this year? All this music I'm finna release, the looks I'm finna have, uh the producers I've been working with, the genuine relationships I've been building, the in the music I've been putting out is with my team, like Yeah, how you do. is there an exclusive? No, I want to get an exclusive. Go ahead. Is there something you haven't announced that you want to announce that's dropping? give us something. Yeah, me and Cook that shit up quay. Ooh.

Uh I've been I've been working with Quay, 808 Mafia, Benny X, uh, Mexico Dro. Of course. I just locked in with Polo Boy Shawty. Oh damn. Damn. So, So producers are huge for you right now. You're trying to get in with like right now. And I got a relationship with every last one I just named. Mm-hmm. How do you approach? Because like I feel like that's something we talked about about you, right? Is that like you just seem to be You're everywhere? Everywhere. And but but people look at that, and I don't think they understand how difficult that actually is. And I'd just be chilling. I don't know how everybody been telling me. It's natural to him, bro. I don't know if we can teach that You know what I mean? But I think it comes from like, bro, like I just it's God put me in them right rooms, bro. And I I'm a good nigga, bro. Everything I'm right, I don't be on all that phone shit. I don't be on that extra dick pulling. I don't be on all the the bad mouth, even when when pussy shit get said about me, lies, whatever. Like, you know what I'm saying?

I may talk my shit here and there, but you, you know what I'm saying? You wouldn't know. I ain't doing none of that extra shit. I'm vibing. Yeah. But bro, my music speaks for itself. And when I'm in these rooms, when I'm in these rooms with these people, bro, like I show up and show out. Yeah, but like how often are you like checking in with these people and stuff, right? Like, are you like texting them or calling them and shit to like maintain the relationships? A lot most of them is it, most of most of them is Instagram relationships, funny shit. Yeah. You know what I'm saying? Like you'll just send a meme? Yeah, we both like send memes and shit like that. Or it's the fact that nigga, I make real, I got good melodies. People call me for melodies and hooks and verses. I come to the studio or come here. And other than that, niggas know I'm a lab rat. I be in the studio. So a lot of my relationships came from me running into people at the studio, and then they'll see me and hear me and be like, You you can go in any pocket, then they wanna fuck with me. I don't even know who you is or anything. We just doing music. Some people I do know who they is, but most of the time, bro, we know who the fuck these people is. We just lock in, how we lock in, and then they end up finding out who I am and they know a mutual or know somebody who know me.

That person done spoke real highly of me. It's a domino effect. So everybody speaks highly on me, and it's a domino effect. When people see you, they automatically on some you I heard you said. I fuck with you, bro. You good people. I love the big Scar story, how you know the label like connected them. And then uh you know, they were in a car together, and someone like played low-key. Bro, we in the car. And Big Scar's like, this is you? Bro, we in the car. I've been listening to you anyway. we in the car. How does Henry know something about you. I don't know. I was just gonna say that. He doesn't know anything about anyone. RP, my nigga Scar, bro. But um we was nah, we in the car headed to the bowling alley. We over there by Atlantic Station by my boy uh repeat. Fine. Shout out my boy Von Repeat. That's where this outfit came from, bro. Oh shit. Shout out to him for sure. Yeah, for sure. Shout out to Repeat, man. But um, we all in the car about to go bowling and shit. And uh mind you, I've been around this nigga at the studio plenty of times. We never asked each other for no feature. We've never done none of that. It was always a just you running to me, I'm running to you. We cool, you fresh, I'm fresh.

You going up, I'm going up. Yeah. All right, cool. He hit me like, bro, let's go to the bowling alley. We in the studio, we about to lean on. We get in the car, we go there. Man, they cut the song on. I'm vibing. I'm just chilling. I know it's my song. But I'm vibing. I'm vibing. I'm just chilling. Bro, Jay Lil Bat, like, you know, this him, right? Cause see, they turn. We all turn. So at this point, we in the car turn. We jam packing this motherfucking car, turn. And uh, you know this said that nigga's car say, what? Do you know how long I've been listening to this song? bro? Genuine. Bro, the song been out since 2020. So you can't even listen to a year like that long. But I feel you. But they're like, bro, This you, what the fuck? Like, why you ain't been telling me? Long story short, I end up getting on the tape, but then the day he died, I had done just talk to him. I just landed. We was, I went, I was mad at him a little bit. Cause I was like, bro, you just told me to pull up to the bowling alley. You going all the way back home. He was like, bro, I'm telling you, brother, I love you. I got you. I'm gonna be back. We're gonna go to the studio, we're gonna, we're gonna go to the bowling alley, all that, but I gotta go back to the city. Man, I get a call.

You know what I'm saying? Later on, like, man, they like Scott, I passed. I ain't believing it. I ain't even wanna look at my phone. I put my phone down. I think I ain't want to hear that shit. Yeah. Then later on, like round two, you feel me? After I done smoked and everything, I look at my phone, like, oh, this shit, real. Yeah. So That would create another dream. that was uh him in trouble. You feel me? That was that was just too back to back. You leave your city after losing your people in your city and going through what you're going through, then you come to Atlanta while still having your roots back home, and you meet people up here, and you just go to losing more people up here that you really fuck with that you're really attach to. It's the same struggles. You feel me? Shit, kind of get blue, but you gotta keep going, man. Time heals all pain. For sure. You feel me? Life is life. Yeah. No, I mean, for me, I feel like the the biggest points that you just made that I want like our community to take take from is like as simple as it sounds, bro. Like the meme shit, like sending each other memes and just like not on yeah, not on some like when can we get in next, or like sending each other songs, like that's cool too.

Like, we're all here to work, we're all here to do a job. Like, this is your time do it. This is your profession. Like, you do need to do those things, right? Like, because this is work. But like, people are gonna fuck with just like general human beings, right? And it's like you believe. I feel like we try to do this too with like our podcast community, right? So anyone that comes on the show, I'll be just like sending them some shit, or like just checking in, like texting them, whatever. Go ahead, man. Um, and I just feel like that's huge, bro. And even like the bowling alley story, right? Of like y'all were going to bowl. Like, as simple as that is, like you're going bowling. That's it. But it's so important, like to get out in the world, like in life, and build these like meaningful, like human to human connections that you're not gonna get by just being dope at music. Like everyone's dope at music that's in the music business, like at that level. If you're at this level and like in the rooms that you're in, you're good. Like it's it's not that's not a thing. I think people are very quick to categorize, like it. You could people can tell if are you one of the type of people that okay?

This dude, every time he hits me up, he wants something from me, essentially. He wants me to do a song. Especially in his day and age. He wants me to pull up to a session. He wants like, and then and we're good at like very like even subconsciously, just dividing. Like, these are the people that actually might just hit me up, you know, as a human and want to talk about some shit or laugh at a meme. And these are the people that just uh just it's annoying. So don't get labeled as that person, yeah. And that's what keep me where I'm at now, gang. Yeah, to be honest, because I never wanted to get like seen like I was just he just on that. I wanted everybody, I tried my best to leave a good mark on everybody that come around me because I don't want nobody to feel like that because I be feeling like that. Yes, so I don't want you feeling like that about me. You know what it feels like. Or thinking that I need you, you know what it feels like. Hate a motherfucker to feel to think that I need you or feel like oh, you got this much control over me, or that you you just you this cool that I want to be around a motherfucker, like well, what fuck you, you and her, Like, oh, bro, like don't give no fucks, yeah. You feel me? But it should be different, man.

I just be trying to be on some real regular chill shit. That's probably the reason why y'all be seen in the game. Yeah, I think it's why you're gonna keep winning for sure. No, and the music's fire, and I'm fly as fuck. And I'm fly. Yeah. No, but I think it's huge, man. That's something I try and like tell him a lot, is that like as much as we love our guests, I also don't want us to think that like our show relies on like our guests doing our work for us. Right? It's like if our guest comes on Some of it, and no, but it's like if our guest comes on and they don't share a single clip, like we're building our own shit here. Facts. And it's like it's fine. Like, I would I'd rather you share the clips and like support the fucking interview that you sat. for an hour. Even if they don't, but if they don't, it's still out there. It's still out there. So are you going to share some clips from us? I'm definitely gonna share some clips. But it's gotta match my aesthetic. So even if they go on my story, like I I have to post and I'm can I add it on my YouTube on my channel. You can do whatever you want. Yeah, but just for me, it's more about like I don't like feeling that way either.

I don't like feeling like, and that's why I tried the whole like artist and producer management thing for a second when I first was starting music, and like I didn't like relying or you know, I didn't like relying on other people to like build my thing. So it's like no matter how long the podcast takes to like you know, go the fuck up and like you know become this huge business that I wanted to become, like it's still on like us, you know what I mean? It's not on anybody else, it's not on a an artist that wants to wake up and not do music that day or want to fucking quit and do something else, like whatever, right? It's like no, this is on me. And I I just I like that autonomy, you know, and I feel like that's probably why you're not hating the independent like thing right now, because it's like it's a lot of pressure, but it's also it's teaching me shit. Yeah, it's making me respect. I respect what they did. I respect what both sides did. I respect a lot of shit now. Now I look at it different, but in order to do better, you gotta know better. That's very interesting, man. That was a bar, man.

I know better now. I I do feel like kids that are like going viral, and this isn't your story at all. I'm just saying, like, it made me think of like the kids that are going viral right now and like getting deals, they don't know how the music business works at all. So they probably don't even know what they're like signing up for or what the expectations should be. So I feel like for you, now that you're like doing it on your own. I mean, I feel like you were obviously doing it on your own before you got signed, clearly, but it's like now that you're back and like at you know a different level in your career, you're you do have like it seems a newfound like appreciation for that while still knowing like what it actually takes. Because you got to keep going. No matter what, no matter the sob, All the sob stories and the he say she say and the point of fingers and what really happened or whatever the case, you have got to keep going because the fans don't give no fucks. Don't give no fucks. You're either gonna go here or there. So that shit, they're just like, I be just damn stay focused, my nigga. Keep working, keep dropping, stay focused.

Because, bro, I guarantee you I could interview 10, 20, 30 Seti Hendrix fans and say, hey, do you know the label he was signed to before? What it's called. Guarantee you they couldn't give a fuck. Fucking care less. They are there for you. They weren't there for whatever the label credit is on the spot, the bottom of the Spotify project. You know what I mean? Facts, bro. So I feel like the you know, quicker that people realize that, then they can like take some like accountability for whatever they're doing. You know what I mean? But Seti, appreciate you for coming on, man. We've entered a final segment of the podcast. Good energy, bro. Told you this was gonna be a good idea. I knew it was gonna be good, bro. Too many people that we fuck with fuck with Seti. So it was like this was a good ass. I was like, there's no way it's not gonna be good. I was like, you know, it's only getting better because we have entered the rapid fire rampage. It's only getting better. It's gonna be a three-part rampage.

I'll explain the parts as we go. Let's get it. We'll start with some short answer questions. Let's get into it. I've like never drank my water during the interview, right? It's a decoration. But now that he's drinking my water, then I'm thirsty. I know, I'm like, thirsty. God damn it, Seti. You will literally there's always a full bottle of water after every interview. I have to like clean up. It's like a prop at this point. Starting with short answer questions. Okay. First one. How are you? I'm blessed. And highly finished. Good shot. Wow. Yeah, maybe the Air Horn was better. Sorry. Not anymore, bitch. Yeah. Seti, you can make an album with any producers and any artist features that you want. Who are you bringing on board? Kanye West, Todd Dawson, Metro Boomer. So you picked a side. And Alchemist. Alchemist.

And 40. Drake 40. Did you even catch that? Did you see Metro saying like pick a side? Yeah, no, I caught you right. Okay, I was like, he picked the side. But he's trying to get 40 too, though. Oh. Yeah, I ain't got nothing to do with that shit. He is like able to, you know. He's able to. Well, in this scenario, get anyone. True. Seti, what is the best and worst thing about the music industry? Uh the best thing is the love. The worst thing is the money. It's not as good. Yeah, it ain't, it ain't as people think it is, man. For sure. Richest people in music did not get their money in music. Moving on. Um, as someone with a primarily female fan base, can you give some advice to artists that maybe have an all-male fan base on how they can maybe create better music? Start talking to the women. More specifically though, like what how um make a song about your girl or the girl that you're fucking, or the girl that you're cheating on, or the girl that you're not cheating on, or the girl that you want to marry, or the make a song about her.

Literally. Tell her I'm gonna make a song about you. Start there. Because some people need that. Dude, it's so true. Some people really need that. Um, we're gonna need your phone for this one. Uh we're gonna grab the gram. He said some people really need that. So true. Uh, what are the last three DMs that you sent? Um you don't have to, we believe you. Well, maybe take a peek.

He's telling me about his song he's finna drop next week. Mecca Lux.

A couple. They done post me a couple times. Damn. I fought Rap Caviar. Yeah. I mean, getting cards from the biggest shit playlist on the hip-hop internet in the world. Yeah, caviar. I'll just be cool, man. You know. Last one on the short answer. What is your favorite curse word? Fuck ya. Part one. Fuck ya. Specifically with ya. Fuck ya. Fuck ya. Fuck ya. Fire. Is that spelled like F-U-K-Y-A? Y-A, for sure. Yeah, for sure. Okay. For sure. Fuck ya. For sure. Next part is did this or that. Wanna give you two choices? Okay. Pick this, or you can pick that. Just like that.

Or just like this. Oh, God. Starting with. Rapping or singing. Oh, damn. I do both. Yeah, exactly. Damn, I that's a damn that's a tough one. That's why it's a good one. That's why I thought of it.

I literally just made my first country song that I've been trying to make for three years. I just couldn't find the right country beat. Ooh. So that answers that, I think. I mean, Beyonce did it. I've been trying to do country music for three years, though. Well, I can't say it Yeah. Because producers, I just couldn't find the right beat. So this ain't nothing. I just hopped on.
