SPEAKER_06

Bro, uh that's what I wanted to say too. I I know I I'm from Bremerton and I'm doing it in Bremerton, but I I've been all around for a minute, you know what I'm saying? So when I came back to it, you know, when we I came back to the city and I'm making music like this, it's only right that I get with my boy. You know, this family right here. We ain't talking about this ain't no motherfucking friend of mine. You know what I mean? Like, yeah, yeah, yeah. We grew up together, you feel me? Like my mama, his mama, his mama, my mama type shit. You know what I'm saying?

Like, yeah, real shit. That's a real family, you know what I'm saying? Because you get you get family that you're born into, and you get the family that you make in the city and stuff, and like that's I got a lot, I got a lot of brothers out here and stuff. Yeah, too.

SPEAKER_04

Yeah, yeah. See, we we cousins by blood, but you know, brothers by struggle type shit. You know what I'm saying?

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_05

Did you guys have a lot of people? I know you've been out here, yeah. You're good. Cause you you uh grew up out here, yeah. Are you did you grew up out here too, correct?

SPEAKER_06

No, I grew up, I grew up out there too as well, but you know, we from Bremerton, it's a little military city. Obviously, my mom was in the Navy, niggas. We just gonna say that. We're gonna cut it out there. So I was uh I was up out of there. I was up out of there young. You know, but I came back to the city when I was like, you know, young teens, but yeah, I had left for me and my mom was, you know, with my with my now steel stepdad. They've been together like 20 something years, you feel me?

SPEAKER_05

So yeah, no, my dad's a sailor too. Hey, hey, hey, no, no shame around here. This is a safe space. Yeah, it's crazy how we got sailors in our family, but we had to beat them up as teenagers. Get off the junior high, leave them youngins alone. So, you guys have been out here for a minute. So, I just want to jump into this. Like, they made the Kid Tap County rapper list, right? And I asked all my guests that come on about this. You guys wasn't on it, but y'all is constantly making waves. You always have people at your shows. Like, how did you feel about that? Shout out YC.

SPEAKER_04

But uh shit, to be real with you though, like you know, it's like the list is like, you know, that list don't really mean too much to man at the end of the day, you know what I'm saying? Like, shout out to everybody that's on the list, you know what I'm saying? You feel me? But I wasn't really triggering it, you feel me? Like, to me personally, I thought I thought the list was a little I commented on Facebook, I said it was ass. Just because it was like, you know, you gotta, if you're gonna do a list, you just gotta put it back. You gotta do the do your research type shit. You know what I'm saying? That's just how I look at it. Because there's a lot of people that weren't on the list that's really doing it, bro. That's that's doing their thing, you know what I'm saying, and making waves, you feel me? So I didn't know. It really don't mean too much, and that's because it's not like nobody's getting nobody on the list is getting a check. Nobody who's really like on that list that's really like paying their bills from rapid, you know what I'm saying? Like, let's keep it a being, you know what I mean? Like, so it really don't mean too much.

SPEAKER_05

Yeah, that is true. That is true.

SPEAKER_06

Like, I mean, go ahead, Mason. Yeah, no, I mean that's a good segue from what what cut said. You know, he already knows we we talked about it, you know. When it came out, we talked about it, we sat down and everybody talked about it. But at the end of the day, I was telling him, bro, like, I don't know what's going on in the city. I love it, I love all the attention that the city got right now because it's crazy, right? But just remember it's local, bro. Like, you know what I mean? Like, that shit is local, bro. So everybody on that list. I heard you was on, I didn't even know. I was watching one of the interviews. I'm keeping game, I'm like, damn, no disrespect, cuz like you don't see it, but you know, everybody's local. I was looking at the list like this, bro, just in a similar way. One from the top of the list to the bottom of the list. Can I get put on? If I get a feature or or something like that, can I get put on? So, what kind of list is that? You know what I'm saying? This this list is like, in my eyes, you know, it's like a room full of broke niggas talking about who got the most money. You know, don't put me in the room nowhere, nigga. Blow the whole room up. You know, don't put me in that room. I don't want to be a part of that room. Yeah, I got it.

SPEAKER_05

I'm the same way, bro. I was so mad. I looked, someone, someone tagged me, and they're like, You're on this list. I was like, fuck. Damn it. I was so mad because I don't I don't know the dude that made it.

SPEAKER_06

Whoever made it, shout out to them and and and noticing you, you know, because you you can't be mad about I'm not mad about why would niggas be mad about the list. Nigga, I'm worried about so much other shit really.

SPEAKER_05

I thought it was gonna be some bullshit. And like, and then my inbox started lighting up, and like, because they they another guy made another one with Chat GPT, and he put my old rap name on there, and so that one I was sharing, I was like, Yeah, cool, I'll take that. But like, I just I've been interviewing, I've I've known so many rappers out here since the 90s all the way to now. And all he did was pick a section of all the rappers from the Kit Tap County era, you know what I'm saying? Like, you guys ain't on there, fucking YB wasn't on there, no good wasn't on there.

SPEAKER_04

Hold on, I'm gonna I'm gonna keep it a bean, though. Look, this is real shit too, though. Like when we go back, right? Let's talk about back, you know what I'm saying, when when the music scene and groom, I feel like it was really at his at its highest for a minute. You know what I'm saying? Like, you know, when it was really moving from tropical blasts, nigga to Chet's place, you know what I'm saying? To you know what I'm saying, to everything, bro. Like, like around that time, even though I was very young, you know what I mean? Like, I was I was I was doing the music thing just not as just not as frequent, you feel me? Because I was a young man still moving and grouping. You feel me? But but like that's what I mean by that though. Like, you know, it's it was like from that era, I feel like. You know what I mean? Like, even though there was a couple niggas that's from that's from this era that was in there though, you know what I mean? But the list was a it's cool though, nigga. Like I said, shout out to everybody on the list, you know. But yeah, me that's not, you know, it really didn't. Because we never, I never been the type of nigga, bro, keep it real with you, bro. I never searched for validation nigga from no nigga, but no female, you know what I mean? So like I don't say I don't need that list of validation. You feel me?

SPEAKER_06

It's just different listing, a different list of nigga worry about, bro. I ain't really worried about no kiss, like you know what I'm saying? I'm worried about if anything, it's gonna be the Forbes or Spotify. I you know what I'm saying. I live in Cali, bro. I'm worried about the gas being seven dollars. Okay, like I'm not worried about like that's not gonna come across my mind or slow me down. I feel like the music level, as far as the disrespect, nigga, like that's disrespectful, you know what I'm saying? Because I don't feel like niggas is putting out music like this, like what we doing. But at the same time, I think every artist is gonna feel like that if you ask them. If you feel me, if you ask them, they really don't. If they don't, they shouldn't be doing this shit in reality.

SPEAKER_05

Well, I mean, like they was all arguing in the comments, right? And I'm just like, well, where's the music? You know what I'm saying? Where's the music? We argued for the music. You know what I'm saying?

SPEAKER_04

Like I'm like prime example, right after the list, the following Friday, cutting mace. Can't believe it. You feel what I'm saying? Track, we dropped that. You know what I'm saying? We're gonna keep this shit flowing, and it's crazy because it's just the it's just the the timing of everything. That's how I look at it. It's crazy how the timing be your shit because we already had that track emotional dropping, you know. But it just went with what was going on, you know what I'm saying?

SPEAKER_06

But shout out the list, though. Shout out to List. You wanna know why? Because the list started this shit, whatever, you know, whatever you want to call this shit, you know. But we're grasping it, and it's because of that list. It really brought niggas like, wait a minute, nah, I'm better. And it was like, wait, nigga, I'd never really like I said, bro, it's local. Everybody on the track, but we from is so little, cuz like we from Burmerton, bro. Like, I think we from the only place you can walk east to west. We used to do it all the time as as young niggas. Just walking up, I used to ride bikes. You know what I mean? Like, it ain't gonna happen, bro.

SPEAKER_05

You're not gonna make it on foot in LA. I tried to get off the freeway when last time I was down there, and it was like, it was like, nah, get back on the freeway, get back on the freeway. Like, yeah, the GPM, even the cop came out like, nah, brother.

SPEAKER_06

That's what I love about the city, bro. I can't, I can't like I was I get people get on here and they like, man, you know, I love Bremerton, bro. I am Bremerton. Nigga, I ain't seen a nigga that's Bremerton yet, nigga. I'll say that. I ain't seen no nigga that's Bremerton yet, nigga. Like, and that's no disrespect to nigga who played a carrying Bremerton. Yeah, you feel me? But I haven't seen it yet, you know.

SPEAKER_05

I think a lot of people just don't want to. I don't like the artist that don't be like, I don't want to be known as a Bremerton rapper. I'm like, bro, this is where you're from. This is kind of what bred you, you know what I'm saying, to be the person that you live from.

SPEAKER_04

But to be real when I'm always gonna scream. Like, like that's that's one of them niggas that'll go somewhere and lie about where they're from. You know what I'm saying? My that's how I look at that. You know what I mean? Like it changes, like it validates. I know I know people in real life that will lie like they're from Cali, knowing that they're not. My nigga, like if that gives them a little bit of stripes because they're from something, nigga. There's there's there's whole niggas. They just niggas everywhere. You know what I'm saying? There's real niggas, there's niggas that are from from fucking Port Townsend that are not bitch. You know what I'm saying? I guarantee you, if you ask them, they're gonna say they wear it from Port Townsend, my nigga. Like, you know what I'm saying? Because that shit don't make you, bro. Yeah, really.

SPEAKER_05

So it's that's what I like about Bremerton too. It's like, you know, when like you go outside of Washington and they're like, where you from? You tell them Bremerton, they don't know. But you somewhere in Washington, you'd be like, Yeah, I'm from Bremerton. Everybody knows where this is, they know exactly where it is. You know, meet niggas like not outside the Washington. No, you got everybody got to see the out.

SPEAKER_04

Yeah, niggas that aren't niggas that aren't frequent with Bremerton, know they'd be like, you know, like, you know, a lot of people, they're like, damn, there's there's niggas out there. You like it's a whole hood like me.

SPEAKER_05

I was working for Amazon for two weeks and I met some black dude up there. He was staying with some girl in Port Orchard, and I was like, Yeah, man, Bremerton, he's like, There's black people out here? I'm like, Yeah, there's tons of us. Hey, but you know something.

SPEAKER_06

Hey, but you know something, hey D Mac, growing up, that was the same reason why niggas was getting punched out by us. And we was wondering, though, like, why do we just have to soccer nigga from Houston? Not knowing that it's a naval baby. Well, the niggas from other places, though. Like, these are.

SPEAKER_05

And they would come out here just talking shit, like, oh, y'all motherfuckers ain't nothing. They didn't know we all cool with each other and shit. Man, there's so many navy dudes. Like, I'm cool with navy dudes now, I don't care about it no more. You know, I pay H08. We need to talk about it.

SPEAKER_06

I know we're gonna get there, D back. I know we're gonna get into the Navy thing was mentioned. And that's crazy to be, dude. I think we gotta clear the air on that because niggas might think now I'm ducking the navy tag, but oh nigga, no, I wasn't.

SPEAKER_07

Nigga, yeah, I was for a long time.

SPEAKER_06

I was in the name for a long time. But what I tell you, hell yeah. How long, how long, how long did you serve? For like 13 years, bro. I was in the name for a while, cuz like when he got all tweaky, motherfuckers act like I was ducking the tag. Nah, nigga, everybody know, bro. There's Navy niggas, and then there's niggas in the Navy. You know, you decide which one you are. You feel me? Like, that's just how it is, nigga. But everybody know that. AJ or Cut been around where it was multiple times, he'd have been around me where I was out at the team, at the job. You feel me? He knows what's going on and what it is.

SPEAKER_05

Well, you can usually tell. Like, and my dad, like my said, my dad was in the navy, so I can tell when a dude's been in the navy because you you never lose that, you never lose that walk. The way they make you walk around, I'm telling you, dead ass, bro. Like, they'll be in the club, bro. They can't even put a limp on that shit.

SPEAKER_01

So, but yeah, when it comes down to it, motherfuckers trying to get the top of the line, top of the line videos. The only problem is cuz it'd be a lot of bugazy ass shit going on with these videographers and these niggas that's shooting videos, cuz like, and you you can show them real love, just like the last show's name. If I knew cousin, I'd tell y'all, so nobody else will fuck with, bro. But he was really on some weirdo, like not weirdo, but like homie dropped off.

That's why I like that's why I like that's why I like our city, D back, because you can't talk spicy online and do funny shit and and not go to events, yeah. Cause you will see somebody out there. That's what I mean. You ain't gonna turn around the meat. You'd be in Walmart.

SPEAKER_05

Is that nigga in the laundry department? I ran up to somebody one time. I was going to the pawn shop to buy something, and my home he owe my homeboy some money, and homeboy was taking a TV in there. I was like, what up, nigga? He was like, I'm gonna let you do what you do. Go ahead and take that TV in there, Flair. Yeah, yeah. I'm gonna need the money you're getting from that. You know what I'm saying? He was a goofy nigga though. You guys need the re one reason. Um I'm I'm glad you guys uh are on my show right now because you you've been dropping music consistently. Like, and that's the thing, consistently, you know what I'm saying? And so, what kind of motivates you to kind of kind of keep It going because some artists they'll drop one to two songs maybe every year, right? And you guys are just I mean, like I'm gonna go listen to your music again, and y'all just drop something.

SPEAKER_04

Yeah, you know, shout out, go play that shit. Hi, feature of Jada Shell. Shout out Jada Shell. She killed that shit. She killed that shit, nigga. Straight up. But yeah, you know what we did was I like it's just just staying consistent. We got music in the ball, you know what I'm saying? Like bro don't live out here no more. So so every time we do get together, we make sure that we're we're we're making at least three. You know what I'm saying? At the least, that's at the least, you know what I'm saying? So like we just gotta keep it flowing, and then we just gonna keep it dropping. You know what I'm saying? Shout out Jack, and we're just gonna keep it dropping, you know what I'm saying? That's just you know, we dropped it. First thing when we first got together, when we first got together, you know what I'm saying? It was like spirit of moment type shit, though, but the chemistry was always there, that's family. You know, we did cut and axe, you know. First track we did with the video, boom, did it hella fast, you know what I'm saying? Because bro, at the time, bro, was in the military, so he had to get gone, you know what I mean? But we did that shit, boom, boom. Did hella track still also, so we're dropping shit, but then we dropped our tape, you know? But then now it's just like we're just gonna keep hitting niggas in the head with these singles and then hit them with a tape again. But we still gotta think like I said, bro.

SPEAKER_06

Like you just gotta be intelligent with this shit, bro. You know, everything, everything that's the problem with niggas. We all can go in the studio. That shit is easy. That shit's easy, bro, to go in there and do something. I ain't gonna say it's gonna be great, but everybody can go in there and get behind that mic and do something. It's about the promo, it's about the consistency, the algorithm. Cause like I like for instance, last year I dropped 15 songs. So you go count them up, you know. That's more than a song a month. Now this year I'm on track for a song a month, at least. You know what I'm saying? That's algorithm talk, uh. Like a lot of these motherfuckers ain't even hit to really dropping music and getting audiences and you feel me, and doing doing what you're supposed to do. Like, ask a nigga, bro. How many, how many streams is one dollar? A lot of niggas don't know that shit, cuh. Like, it's like 775. The average on any platform is 775 play. It's one dollar, cuz. So think about it. I got a lot of shit on Spotify. You see a lot of them motherfuckers that do this with a thousand and it do that meaning less than a thousand. That means you ain't got a dollar off that motherfucker. You know what I'm saying?

SPEAKER_05

If you're even lucky, bro, like if you're lucky, because sometimes they don't even have that thousand with the arrow of the little uh yeah, arrow on it or whatever, it just has response.

SPEAKER_06

So it it's a it's a whole game. We not getting that's why I said, bro, peep my name. You know what I'm saying? It's a L B Young Mace now. You feel me? It's it's still Young Mace on the streaming platforms, but it's ALB, and that's ain't looking back. Then is my niggas, you know what I'm saying? We not no group or not, niggas is a unit, niggas is like the organization, you feel me? And they from Akron, you know what I'm saying from the 330. You know, my nigga Ty SM Jess Cam, and we got my nigga Lurk, and then Ed from the Act, you know what I'm saying? Go look if you go on Instagram though, right now, and put in ALB underscore ENT, that's all of us, you know what I'm saying? That's all of our little thing. It's only five of us right now, but you like I was saying, they just put it together to me. You know, I was always looking for a group of lions, you know what I'm saying? Like to be with, but lions be hyenas and snakes, and you know what I'm saying. So I found a group of sharks, nigga, who only thing on their mind is eat, you feel me, and don't come in that deep end with us because you can't swim over here. It's not that you don't know how to swim, but you just couldn't swim over here. You feel me?

SPEAKER_05

So I'm so glad you said that too, about you know, just the consistency in the promo because a lot of people don't realize that dudes think you you know you drop one song, two songs a year, like you're trying, they're trying to do shit like they see big markets and it don't work that way. You gotta you gotta constantly just keep dropping.

SPEAKER_06

You gotta have you gotta have people waiting on you to do shit like that. They waiting for it. You gotta they playing your old shit that you was consistent with. Ain't nobody just dropped the two songs a year in blue, except probably blue face or somebody in the nigga, you know, and he just knows he stays online though.

SPEAKER_05

That's the whole thing. He's he's on live. Yeah, because that's what you gotta do. That's what I know. A lot of artists, like in between time, like if you ain't dropping nothing right now, right? Take your ass, go online, go comment on people's fucking posts and shit. Niggas don't want to do shit. I got motherfuckers sending me stuff. Hey, pre pre-buy my song. I'm like, nah, bro. Hey, kick him off the screen.

SPEAKER_06

I don't want to see this nigga no more. I don't like when niggas do that. No, man, they don't keep killing that, but that nigga like to get the spotlight. He wants us to stop and talk about him, bro. I don't like that shit, bro. Nah, but that's my nigga, bro. But I don't like that shit.

SPEAKER_04

The thing about it is, the thing about it is when it comes to dropping shit, and what what be the main problem with artists, you know what I'm saying? I feel like a lot of niggas struggle with it, you know, is is is the uh not knowing what you want to drop, being being scared of dropping a song because you might think it's uh they might, but at the end of the day, bro, I'm gonna keep it big. Nigga, if you love it, you know what I'm saying? You gotta love it. You feel me? Because if you don't love it, they ain't gonna like it. That's just what it is, you know what I'm saying? Like, and at the end of the day, some some shit that people that you drop is not gonna be somebody's flavor, but somebody's gonna be funny with it.

SPEAKER_05

And you know, you ever notice how like there's a song you may not like, but when you drop it, everybody else likes it.

SPEAKER_04

And everybody else likes it, that's how it be.

SPEAKER_05

It's never really the one that you like that go big. Your favorite, yeah. It's it's always the song you're like, uh yeah, I kind of made that one and dropped that out. Yeah, yeah, blows.

SPEAKER_04

And that's that's and that's that's why you gotta drop. You know what I'm saying? Yeah, don't think about it, drop that shit. Stop holding on to it, which just drop that shit.

SPEAKER_05

Yeah, so you can listen to it. And I mean, like, I used to rap just to listen to my voice. Like, I mean, I still make music, but that's what I'm saying.

SPEAKER_06

This is a this is a great question for you, if I could on your show. Go ahead, go ahead, go ahead. So, what is the difference from in the vault, right? Like, I got some shit in the vault and on the shelf. Because niggas don't understand the difference. Because if I said I got I got I got 90 songs in the vault, that means I have 90 songs ready to drop. I can send the button. That to me, that's what that means. You know what I'm saying? On the shelf, I would say I got shit, I don't know, a hundred, you know what I'm saying? 150, 200 songs.

SPEAKER_05

If you got songs in the vault, that means you got music ready to drop. It's ready to go, exactly. I don't know if niggas be playing on the show, bro. That shit ain't coming out, you know what I'm saying? Because that's how they use it in the record labels. They be like, Yeah, we're gonna put it down on the shelf.

SPEAKER_04

A lot of a lot of shit be on the shelf. A lot of shit, you know what I'm saying? A lot of shit be on the shelf. There's been a lot of times when niggas got some shit that's just been you might be in your email and buying some old shit, like, damn, nigga, I forgot about this shit. You know what I'm saying? That'd be that shit. You know what I mean? That'd be that.

SPEAKER_05

I got I got songs I never dropped, and I'm just like, yeah, they'll probably just sit there and stuff. But nah, like usually, like, because I mean, like, so when you guys record you purchase and purchase all your beats, do you guys record together, or do you like do it separately? How what's your recording process? It's only it's only together. I mean, yeah, it's only together.

SPEAKER_04

Yeah, it'd be together, you know what I'm saying? Because it'd be it hit different, you know what I'm saying? Like, you know, it hit different. You feel what I'm saying? Yeah, but yeah, but everything, but but everything that you don't gotta drop everything you record either. Me personally. You can't hold on to it either. At this point now, though, I feel like everything that's recorded got must be dropped. If it's if it's a finished song, buggy. You know what I'm saying?

SPEAKER_05

I think what throws off an artist, bro, is like, you know, they'll they'll post the song one time, right? And then they'll walk away for a couple hours, they'll come back, and then they they look on their Spotify and they got four plays. And that'll just make them scared to drop stuff. You know what I'm saying? But like, you gotta be relentless in that. You know what I'm saying? Like, I like for me, like when I post when I post this stuff, when I do it, I don't give a fuck. Nobody thinks, bro. Either you're with me or you're gonna be. Hey, hey, I'm gonna keep it real.

SPEAKER_06

You gotta you gotta you gotta flood them. You gotta flood them with it.

SPEAKER_04

Yeah, nigga, you can ask Max. I don't nigga. Every time niggas is in there, you hear me? When a nigga walk out that booth, nigga, it's like, nigga, did you hear me though? I don't give a fuck. Hey, bro, hey, anybody else think you hear me? Hey, I know, I know the nigga's name.

SPEAKER_06

I know the shooter's name, the the cameraman's name. His name is Zach. So I don't know his last name or nothing like that. I got him in my phone is Zach Shooter, so I don't know if it was Zach the shooter, but we keep it going, my fault. But yeah, yeah, no, you've been right. We should put it out to the to the world, yeah. Put it out to the public. But yeah, but yeah, yeah, that part. My fault, Cut, but that part.

SPEAKER_04

You good, you good.

SPEAKER_06

That part.

SPEAKER_05

Hell yeah.

SPEAKER_06

No, you gotta always gotta put shit like that there because that's fucked up, you know what I'm saying? Like corny at the end of the day, like you a bitch ass nigga. It was only what, like, how much money was it? It wasn't even like$200, it wasn't shit, though. Like, you really ran off the presentation, it's the present and think about how much business he could have got out of that.

SPEAKER_05

You know what I'm saying? Like, he could have shot you a dope video. Everybody been like, yo, who shot this? He could have got eaten, like he played himself for$200. You know what I'm saying? Yeah, and it's a woman.

SPEAKER_06

My fault. Y'all watching is you to see shit. Man, put that boy out.

SPEAKER_05

I'll turn my TV off, bro. I watched the Lakers get beat up today. I'm done. Yeah, yeah, they got whooped on over. It's not over. My fault. I called it too early. It's not over.

SPEAKER_04

I whipped on Thunder.

SPEAKER_05

They got whooped on them bad too in that fourth quarter.

SPEAKER_04

Thunder whooped on them boys, they're gonna continue to whoop on the boys.

SPEAKER_05

Yeah, no, they're gonna they're probably gonna sweep them. That the thunder is they're that motherfucking team right now. And so, like, I I asked again really quick though. I mean, you ain't gotta give me a solid number, but how much do you guys spend on music and promotion in a year? And I asked this before you say it, I asked this because I need other artists to understand how to how you how your level, how you guys are on your level right now.

SPEAKER_04

Every every year, right? Every year, I'm gonna keep it real, it's different. Niggas is growing in this shit. We're learning in this shit, you know what I'm saying? Like, so at the end of the day, you know what I'm saying, it's it's the every year is gonna grow something different because now we're trying to do shit differently, you know what I'm saying, and trying to reach reach different platforms with this shit, you know what I'm saying? Like, you know, really trying to get your shit heard in different areas, you know what I mean? And and that's a different type of promotion when it comes to certain type of shit. You feel me? So, you know what I mean? You know what I'm saying? Monthly, bro.

SPEAKER_06

I would say, like I said, as much shit that you niggas want to do as artists. So I didn't mean for instance, right? I didn't, I didn't leaped off and went and did the, you know, oh, give us 300, we'll give you the woot-y-woo, you know what I'm saying? But that shit don't be organic 99 time. But us as artists, bro, on my mama, I didn't even know about that shit when I first started, you know, and then I started hearing people like, oh, that shit's box, or that shit's fake. I'm like, what the fuck? Because you think that's what everybody's talking about when they say put your money in the promo. That's what I thought they meant. But if you're talking about videos and and and actually having a annual master account on uh toon core and all that shit, bro, that shit, bro. You know it's a lot a year. I I don't know what, but a year is crazy. I don't even know, bro. I would open it.

SPEAKER_05

Yeah, I mean if you think about it, like if you do distro kit, what that's 30, that's 40 bucks for the year. If you do Tune Core, I know I think it's about the same price.

SPEAKER_06

But I do distro now, but I got that. Uh what's the what's the other one where it's like a professional dashboard, master dashboard account where you can just drop as much as you want, you know.

SPEAKER_05

Something, yeah, there is a master one. I've seen that.

SPEAKER_06

Right. So I got that one. I got the max one, you know what I'm saying? So that's the little yearly shit. It's like a couple hundred or something, but you could drop as much as you want, do whatever you want, you know what I'm saying? So, like I said, the yearly value, bro. You know, bro, who knows? You gotta love this shit, bro. Cause it ain't, you know, I got money off this shit. Don't get me wrong, I got paid for music, but like like Cut said, is it paying my bill pay, niggas?

SPEAKER_04

Come on, niggas then you know, you you know, you know, it's like I said, it's about progression. Niggas that did pay shows, you know what I'm saying? Like, that's cool, bro. You feel me? That's progression in this shit. A lot of niggas have never got paid for a show. A lot of niggas are paying to do shows, you know what I mean? Yeah, so it's like that's that's that's progression in this shit. That's you know what I'm saying. When you look at your your little account on your distro kit and you're and you notice that, damn, nigga, I got a hundred bucks. That's not a lot, but nigga, when you think about how much you're actually getting from this shit, that's something that's progression. You know what I mean? Like, it gives you motivation to keep going. Yeah, a lot of niggas don't get it as artists. A lot of artists don't get paid like that from your streams and shit, bro.

SPEAKER_06

You know, unless you're getting hella views on YouTube, and that's what I was saying, D Mac. This is this gives go to my next point. Then the conversation is that everybody dropping something right now. If I'm showing support, it's because nigga, we doing the same thing, nigga. Yeah, niggas is acting like they signed and got some major emotion. Nah, we all need to support each other in that way because we all doing the same thing, that's why it's respect, you know what I'm saying? That's why the that's through the respect comes from. We know the grind of getting in the studio, putting all the mours in, then you put it out, and maybe you don't get the reaction you want, maybe you do, but we all done put that work in, cuz like we all gotta respect that part, you know what I mean.

SPEAKER_05

I think I mean there's I think yeah, everyone could like I'm the same way, right? I think we should all everyone should share each other's music. You're in the same city, you guys are on the same grind, you're on the same shows.

SPEAKER_04

But what happens is some people get more likes than others, and some people feel a type of way, some niggas like I was told, listen, I was told this is real shit, and I gotta say this, bro, because you know, me, I'm the type of nigga, if I know you, this is room city shit, and I feel like because it don't cost nothing to support, you know. Like if I know you, I'm gonna share your shit. Doesn't mean, and I'm gonna keep it real. Like, not not every time I share a nigga shit, am I bumping a nigga shit? You know, that's just me showing support. Maybe somebody on my friends that I share too, they might like your shit. Right, you know what I mean? And I just gotta say that because I I be sharing shit, and I don't niggas and be like, bro, why you sharing that shit? You know what I mean? Niggas, you know what I'm saying? Like, niggas just hit me like, bro, why you sharing that shit? You know, you don't be bumping that shit, and I'll be like, nigga, that's my niggas doing his thing, you know what I'm saying? Yeah, I mean it caught it costs us nothing to do it, too.

SPEAKER_05

You know what I'm saying? It's not gonna cost me nothing. Like, I'm helping. I used to share everybody's shit. Like, for a minute, I was sharing everybody.

SPEAKER_06

Like I said, we're from a small city, and I like I said, I was with everybody. The city does run off hate, but I think it started as envy. A lot of the niggas we from because think about it. Everybody you had on here, everybody that go to shows, we know everybody, everybody grew up with everybody, we all know each other, so it's all envy, bro. It ain't really hate. We all know each other, you know. I'm saying that's why when I see people talking crazy, it's like, damn, bro, I knew we went, you know, we know, bro. We them niggas, like you're like yo, we was out there, we know you when you was, you know, shaky. If you were shaky trying to be this guy now, you know what I mean? Yeah, it's a small city, bro.

SPEAKER_05

Yeah, like I'm saying, man, it's just you know, people everybody wants to be the first one to come out, but everyone's fighting for last place right now, is how I look at it. You know what I'm saying? Like, like, think about they made the take check this out. They made the Kids Hap County rapper list. We're gonna get on. The only person that did anything with it was direct and doc right now, and you on the show, you know what I'm saying? Like, and then I say freeze, he's getting everybody together. You know what I'm saying? That's gonna be on the 16th or whatever. He's like, hey, come here for the music. All the rest of the motherfuckers argued in the comments and then shut the fuck up. They argued for about two, three days. One goofy dude that's not even here fucking was trying to make diss tracks about people from eight years ago and shit. Like, fucking, it was goofy shit. Like, but speaking of that, so they're having the first what is the first Kitap County hip hop festival, right? Yeah, all right, and you and you're on that. Yeah, okay. So, how did that come about? Uh I'm not on it.

SPEAKER_06

Oh, you saying he's on it. Cut's on it.

SPEAKER_05

Yeah, he's on it. But you ain't are you you're not even out here no more, correct? Yeah, I make trips whenever.

SPEAKER_06

I I can go back whenever, but I'm I figured he'd have you on there.

SPEAKER_05

You guys are like a dynamic duo. It's like this. It's like I'm gonna keep it real.

SPEAKER_04

First thing I'm gonna say before I answer that question is uh cut and mace, we're a unit, you know what I'm saying? But also we're still all separate artists, you know what I mean? But so if you don't see cut and mace, you're gonna see mace, nigga. You're gonna see cut. And at the end of the day, you see and cut, you still might see mace, you know what I'm saying? That's just what it is. You feel me? Like his name might not be up there, you know what I'm saying? Just because of you know what I'm saying, the possibility of him not, you feel me? Like I said, Cuzby have his own thing going on, but it's still me. He still might, you know what I mean?

SPEAKER_05

Yeah, in my life. You guys are both you guys are both independently strong artists, you know what I'm saying? And like I said, together you guys are a dynamic duo. Because it's nice when you have someone that actually has the same work ethic as you, you know what I'm saying? Yeah, that's because then you then you can bounce ideas off each other. You guys, you're promoting over here, he's promoting over here. You know what I'm saying? It sucks. Like, I I did that one time. I when I made it to Seattle, I'm out there making music, and I have people out here that were like, Oh man, I see how you're moving. Can I roll with you? And I'm like, Cool. But when I let them do it, they held me back, you know what I'm saying? And it moved, it messed up my movement, but that was on me, you know what I'm saying? So now I yeah, I can't. I mean, I some of them we're still cool, but it's like, you know, I can't fuck with you like that on that kind of level, right?

SPEAKER_06

Like you're saying, like I said, me and like I said, like you said, me and Cut, we like two individual artists, but something crazy together. We knew that, right? When we, you know, it wasn't like we tried to do that. That shit was natural, bro. We just came in there, did our thing because it was times we was freestyling and fucking around for years, right? Years, bro. We just never took it serious, you know what I'm saying? So it was always easy to go in there and do whatever. And these these shits, this, these songs we making, cuz like it's different, you know.

SPEAKER_04

We just on some different shit, and that's the main thing. We gotta switch it up, keep it flowing. You know what I mean? Switch it up, keep it flowing, you know what I'm saying?

SPEAKER_05

Like, yeah, so what what do you guys have planned for the rest of the year?

SPEAKER_04

Like musically and just like entertainment wise, you know, we got we got more shit, we got more shit dropping, you know what I'm saying? We got hot flammers dropping, you know what I'm saying? Yeah, it's uh you know I mean the future really, you know, the future is is is is one of those things to where you know it can really anything can really come about.

SPEAKER_06

You know, see what we was gonna do, we was gonna do a tape. That's the truth, but at the same time, you be kind of knowing niggas' attention span be like fucking grasshoppers and squirrels, yeah. So motherfuckers don't listen to the whole motherfucking tape. So flood these motherfuckers with singles, give them some time to listen to everything, take it in. You feel me? You know, do it the right way.

SPEAKER_05

That's what's working for everybody, anyways. It's just my better cut you off. It's just to do a single, right? You drop us, you have an album ready, right? It's sitting there. We all make albums. If you're a real artist, you make an album, but then you're just like, Well, I'll drop the single out here. I'll see you. You want to see what takes off, then you can drop the whole album after a minute. It kind of seems what everybody's doing, you know what I'm saying? Yeah, and so if it's a formula that works, why not go with it? You feel me? It works. Yeah, speaking of the festival, though, right? So direct is on there.

SPEAKER_04

Let me ask you Greg's thing. It's directly, yeah.

SPEAKER_05

That's what I was about to say. I saw him online. He was like, he was posting, he was like, Yo, man, I got something big for everybody.

SPEAKER_04

Bro, doing something different, he's doing something different for the city. I'm not gonna hold you like a festival, you know what I'm saying? That's dope, and you know, you gotta think about it. It's it's not just it's one of those things where everybody's involved, the kids are allowed to be there, you know what I'm saying? So you gotta you gotta tone it down a little bit. Luckily, you know what I'm saying, direct family. So, you know, slid me in there, you know what I'm saying? Because at first, you know, they look at it like to the to the to the I don't know, I don't know how they look at it, but from the from what's being said, they look at it in a different type of light, you know what I'm saying? You know, I need to look at it a different type of light, yeah. You know what I'm saying? But it's just in the foot in the door to where they know that it's you feel me, it's good, you know.

SPEAKER_05

Okay, it's direct it's directs show, right? Why wouldn't he put you on? Why not? You know what I'm saying? And then number two, and shout out to you guys. If this is to the other rappers in the county, you might have some feelings, right? If I Google your rap name and a picture of you doesn't show up on the first page, you're not really you can't say anything. Tell him again though, tell him again. You gotta say it again, though. Google your name, and your face doesn't show up, or your music doesn't pop up on the first page of Google, like you're not doing that. That's a big deal. It is that's a big deal. I went to go Google their name, bro, and other stuff starts showing up, like real estate about that a long time ago. I got two names people can Google. You put it in. That's why the chat GPT pulled up my old rap name online. I was like, Yeah, motherfucker, what like so that's what it is, man. I but but shout out to Direct Man for putting this together. That's that's big. That's pretty huge. That's why I brought that up. Because you know, it's the first annual hip hop festival in Kit Hab County, you know what I'm saying? Like, they didn't, they don't we're our diversity is showing a lot now more because there's more of us than we have, like, we're more into the city. But like to me, this is pretty huge. You know what I'm saying? If anybody's upset about it, you know, step your game up. That's all you gotta do. Well, why was somebody saying something? They were like, Oh, he just put him on there because that's his cut.

But you know, nah, nothing, nobody said that, but that's just you gotta just how you gotta look at it. That's why the artists that are up there are up there, you know what I'm saying? Because they got the the most diverse music, you know what I'm saying? You it's the first one, you know what I mean? So you gotta ease it in there smoothly, you know what I'm saying? You can't just come straight up in there and then niggas in there talking about you know, killing niggas and everything. You know what I'm saying? Yeah, you can't have someone get up there like, yeah, nigga, nigga, nigga, nigga, nigga, nigga, nigga. Yeah, you know what I'm saying? That's why you gotta ease it, ease it into gently like that, I guess. You know what I'm saying? Type shit. It's new to me, it's new for me, but you know it's gonna be dope for the shit.

And they were they were singing the whole song the whole time. I'm out the window looking at him. And they didn't say when it when the part came up when they had to say, they're like, that ain't really me, that's Chris Brown.

SPEAKER_06

He said, that wasn't me, that was Chris Brown.

SPEAKER_05

He said, the niggas gotta please the crowd. Shout out to Cut and Maze, man. So out of out, so let me ask you guys this question, right? Y'all perform with a lot of artists out here, a lot of artists and other places. But in Kentu County, right? Like besides yourself and anyone you're related to, who would be your top five rappers that you fuck with out here? Each.

SPEAKER_06

I can go. I mean, I'm a well, I can't go. I ain't gonna say the top five off my don't be like that. I ain't gonna lie, I ain't really social. I'm really with the work. You feel me? But I ain't social, you know. But I gotta give it to Jay Nachelle off the back. But I've been wanting to do something with YB for a while now, anyway. You know what I'm saying? That's what with that little song. I get the spanking shit. He niggas know what I'll be on. That shit crazy to me. I was like, this nigga was going crazy. You know what I'm saying?

SPEAKER_05

I like I like sorry mama by him. That's my shit. Like sorry mama is gangsting niggas.

SPEAKER_06

You know what I'm saying? So that shit nigga be going crazy. So I've been wanting to do something with him, and then you know, like I said, I'm really open to it, but nigga ain't too social, dog. Like, I ain't gonna lie, I ain't just running out. And we went to that little Washington State Hoods page. I this I got a song with my homie Bryce though now, and he's from like somewhere out the way in Washington, but somewhere far, but it was just on the Washington State Hoods, and we got a couple songs now. So, you know, I'm tapped in, I'll tap in with anybody. They got a page called Washington State Hoods. I need to get on that. Is that on Facebook? It's cool, yeah. It's cool. No, it's on Instagram, it's on Instagram. Okay.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah.

SPEAKER_05

No way, I've seen that before. There was the one dude too, he had a song, his name was Y2K or something like that. And um he's he, but like I thought the song was tired. I thought it was gonna be. He's like, I'm not from the bay, I'm not from LA, I'm not from the bay. He's like, I'm from S E A. And I was like, and the shit was jumping. Then I was like, I wonder why it died down. What was going on? But he used he took fucking uh a beat from YG.

SPEAKER_07

Yeah, it's yeah.

SPEAKER_06

Yeah, I that's why I said you it's not it's not the music, huh? It's the it's the engine behind it, the foundation, the platform, the pushing it, the support. You feel me? That's why I said it ain't gonna be the niggas that you know that that make you a big artist.

SPEAKER_04

It's gonna be the most man. You listen to what you say, you see how that song would have boomed. You said if you wouldn't have used that beat, though, because I feel like that's the reason you know killed him. Yeah, all it takes is that little bit, bro, invest in yourself just a little bit more.

SPEAKER_06

But I've had it to where I I've had it to where a beat is like that, but it's made different. You know what I'm saying? Yeah, you can do that. You can do that.

SPEAKER_05

You can have somebody make a beat song as long as you try as long as you change three instruments in the beat, it's a different beat.

SPEAKER_03

A little bit, a little bit better.

SPEAKER_05

And the song could have blew too, because everybody, people were playing it on IG and stuff. Yeah, it was good, it was cool. I was like, oh, someone's finally making some music for watching it. It was going crappy, man. That happened to a dude out here, man. Shout out him a bason. He he had this song called No Coach. Well, what happened, bro?

SPEAKER_06

What happened with the FEA, bro? What he just fell off the side of the earth?

SPEAKER_05

Well, I mean, like you think about it. After so, as soon as you hit so many plays, like it's usually it's like 10, it used to be on YouTube 10,000. Did he make a video? No, as soon as you hit like 10,000 plays, that's how it was on YouTube. You could start getting paid off the stuff a little bit, like more. But like then they they find it, they catch it, and the beat was copyrighted. You know what I'm saying? It was uh unless he contacts the labeled. Remember back in the day, bro, people are making mixtapes off everybody else's beats, right? And the music labels was like, fuck that shit. It's actually it started with um it started with this bar, and this bar was hiring cover bands, cover rock bands, to come in because it was cheaper than the hiring the real bands. And the record labels they got wind of this and they were like, nah, fuck that shit. Like, you're gonna have to pay us. Either you get the real band or you pay us. And so they they jumped on the rock side, then they got the rappers. Remember, then they came after that pip.

SPEAKER_06

Then he said, right on point, then you know what I'm saying? You need to stop ripping beats off YouTube, buy them, bum ass niggas. That shit been a thing for niggas. I ain't I don't know when is the last time niggas ripped off YouTube, bro.

SPEAKER_05

Like, that's it's been a while since I've been to actually know. I I think I went to the school two years ago, and the dude he was rapping, and you know, he's rapping. It was like, buy this beat now. That's what I'm saying.

SPEAKER_07

That's just goofy, bro. Come on.

SPEAKER_05

SPEAKER_06
