Yeah, for sure, man. The thing about it is, you you is progression in your career, you know, so the vibe is definitely different for you. I can feel the energy through the camera, you know. So what's one thing that you do to get in the right mindset to hit before you hit the studio up?
well, you know, I got to be comfortable. So that means, you know, getting my soul together, taking a little smoke break, running the beat back, you know, stuff like that to get my mindset right and everything going. yeah.
comfortable environment.
yeah, for sure. So when we talk about just a particular project, what's the story behind it? Every artist, they got their pure moment where they just inspire to put something out. What was that moment for you?
The moment for me was like more so the energy, the work, the little bit of everything, know, time, effort, and you know, just a little, just things like that, you know, man, just effort, you know.
Speaker 1 (02:30.53)
Yeah, man, I can hear the grind and I can hear the hustle like just in this music, man. And from the sample you gave me, it's definitely fire, man. It's speaking to me, man. You know, every line that like, you know, that you you hitting on this one is something different. So as far as the lyrics, man, on a few of those on this sample that you gave me, know, what's one thing that was challenging or like emotional, you know, while he was writing this?
Um, well, a lot of it's dance stuff. A lot of it's lot of, um, joy. Sometimes it's about, you know, in the trenches. Sometimes it's about, um, a little bit of everything, you know, like people see people enjoy themselves and know, um, and, uh, no, but take a little bit everywhere, man, you know, it's good times.

I'm just going to say that now. know, TikTok, YouTube, I got like 1K views on one of my performance. you know, TikTok and YouTube really did a lot. I could say those two platforms did a real lot for me, man. So I appreciate that a lot.
Yeah, people could definitely get some success from both of those platforms. like I said, the game change and you gotta be almost everywhere if you wanna get heard nowadays. every span counts. every time somebody tap in and they maybe add your music to a reel or whatever, all of that adds up.
The rails, definitely the rails too, 100 % the I ran up a couple hundred views on the rail. They definitely say that, they go crazy. Definitely ran up couple hundred views on the rail for real, real facts.

I wanna appreciate everybody doing that, and then, know, hear dropping that, some scene of progress, people that's constantly going, you know what mean? So it's it's clicking, so that's, you know.
