Episode Transcript

Hey, everybody. It's legal queen LA. And we are back with yet another episode of the Royalty room. But today is even more special because we have an artist here from Los Angeles himself named heir The prophecy. What's going on, man? It's air. The prophecy. We own royalty room. Let's get it. Talk that talk. Okay. I'm super excited for you to be here. Thank you for making this drive. I know it's not always easy, but I heard that you just released a music video to one of your best newest releases. Yeah, one of my favorites, actually. It's called off the rip. Is it your favorite song altogether? I would say overall, yes, my favorite. Wow. I think it just speaks to the embodiment of the project the most to me. Okay, so let's play this off the rip, and then we'll talk about the project. Off the riff. I don't like none of you niggas. I don't care about where you from. I give a fuck about your hitters, boy, don't play with me. I get to them commas. Ain't no hating me whipping all these foreigns. Y'all didn't sold them into slavery. I'm cut, though. Every time a thought he make her butt hole grip hold on her waist, you think I'm trying to make her gut choke? Ridiculous niggas didn't think that I was serious, thought that I would flap. I'm like, I can't believe I'm hearin'this. You crazy? What the fuck you think I come this far for? Ping game Harry Potter with the wand fuck a dark lord crucio I should keep a draco like I'm Lucius eyes low I ain't stupid young, but I be stupid rich game plan, I can never stop till I'm a maidman I ain't never switching up, you know I got the same twin imperial. Okay, so first of all, LA artist, and you're on top of LA in this video. How did that feel making the video? Honestly, I just thought it made the most sense just to kind of, like, have the city in the background, because the song was % based off how I feel about the city as a whole. I would say the song really just come from what I think the state of LA culture is. So there's a lot of haters, a lot of people don't want to see you win, and then there's a lot of people who just expect you to fail immediately. The moment you have a dream, a goal, et cetera, they just throw their failures on you. And expect you to have the same thing. So that's kind of like why the song started so tough, where it's like you came in. Like a lot of people, too try to base. Like, I'm from the east side LA, I'm from the west side LA, I'm from the north. I don't care which side you're from, if you're not rocking with what I got going on, I don't fuck with y'all either. Right? I don't know if I can say that. You can say whatever you want. It's your. Yeah, like, that was just it for, like, I just think taking a punch at the haters, that was like that. I like. You mentioned the state of LA. Do you mean as far as the competitiveness and crab in a barrel mentality or what did you mean by that? Yeah, I would say competitiveness, but I don't feel like it's very competitive. I just feel like it's very more jealousy than anything. Instead of seeing somebody winning and think I'm going to go harder, they like he winning, I'm going to take what he got. Whether if this is his life or his chain, his car, whatever the case may not. There's no competitiveness involved in it. It's giving shisty. Yeah, absolutely. What do you think going off of that? What do you think about the state of LA's music industry in terms of the music industry as a whole? I think we really have some of the best artists in the world. I just think the problem is no one likes to show each other off or just help each other, promote each other, work together enough to where we can build off of each other. It's more like, he sound better than me, I don't want to work with him, I don't like him, or he's doing better than me. I don't rock with him. That's a person. I'll pay for a feature or let me tap in with some people and see if I can get on a song with him. It's just more like I don't like him. I don't like him and you don't know him. What is it? Because I've gotten that too. I've only been here a little bit over four years and I've gotten that almost immediately. What is it in the water out here? I don't understand. I don't know. I mean, it's crazy because I grew up over towards mid city area, right off of La Cienega and Cadillac, and I feel like it was a community there and there's a lot of artists that came from over there. Like Big sad, we got dope, videographer, dancer, Cooley, just a lot of dope talent, but everybody was locked in. I didn't even know really what a hater was until I moved outside of that area. So it's crazy to see it and I really don't know where it comes from, but I think it's just people don't like to see somebody else win before them and it just become a culture in LA. Like it's everywhere. It's really like a sickness. So what is air in his artistry going to do to try and shift that around? So for like my ultimate goal at the end of whatever my music journey is, or even while I'm still making music and actively on tours and things like that, is just finding dope talent and putting a spotlight on them. That's just something we don't have. And it's based off who you know and how many followers you got, not how good the music is or how viral you are. Like if you climb up a light pole and jump off now, people want to hear what you got to say or whatever the case may be. But if the music is good, don't really matter if you don't know this person or that person. So for me, it's just kind of tapping into the heart of LA and the music scene. Really going to places where I started these showcases and things like that, sending people to tap in with the promoters and find out who's really hot in the city. So that's something I've always wanted to do and that's something I practice. Even now I'm not where I want to be, but if I hear a dope artist and if I know someone who I feel like can help them, I send them that way. Support. Yeah, that's big. I feel like that's definitely one of the biggest things that is missing here. So that's beautiful. You mentioned your upcoming project. Yeah. You want to talk a little bit about what that's going to be? Yeah. Which I've been juggling the name for a bit, but I for sure settled on, comes with envy. Okay. Which is exactly what we just were talking about. Right. And that's just, I feel like the state of LA and every time that I've grown, and it's even started with my own circle, like people around me, I spent the last year and a half cutting off people that I thought were going to be there once I'm where I needed to be got you. So that was, like, crazy for me. And it was difficult just because you grow up with these people, you think you know them and they kind of show you a side of them once you start to elevate, and they don't. But my thinking is, well, when I get here, you obviously around me, you with me, you got the same resources, and it didn't really. I guess they didn't get that hint or that. Yeah. So it's just kind of basically talking about when you get to a certain level, what it kind of comes with, like, people are going to hate you, they're going to talk down on you, they won't support you, things like that. People that love you will show. They really don't. It's just something that I said in a song. They say they love me when they hate me, but I get you. And it just kind of means, like. You said, you said, can you run it back? Love me circumstantially, if I'm in the same place as you, that's what you love about me. And the moment I elevate, that's when you hate me. That's like a sick mentality, right? It's very sick. So outside of giving those little inklings of hope, is there anything specific that you want your fans to get from this new project? Honestly, I would say if they were to take anything, is just keep going. Believe yourself first. I mean, that's all I've done, is really believe in myself. I started , and I remember people telling me, like, this ain't it. And when I listened back to it myself, I'm like, yeah, that wasn't it. But if you listen off the rip, this is it. Yeah, that's humility. That's good. Yeah. So it took me a while to get there, but I'm there, and you just got to keep going, keep showing up for yourself. And that's the most important part about it, is believing in yourself. Even when nobody will invest in yourself, when nobody will, and then people will gravitate, and then they will invest in you. They will believe. Right. Because if you don't do it yourself, why would anybody else? Absolutely. That's good. I think the very first time I met you, which was opening up for Lil Zan. Yeah. Last summer, I think that's something that you'd mentioned, that your advice was to whoever wants to follow in your path in being an artist was not to stop and don't listen to whatever anybody has to say. Yeah. And that was something I learned from somebody. I really looked up to was Nipsey, was to not quit. And you never know if you're, like, one moment away from where you're trying to, so, you know, you walk away, and that next step was exactly where you wanted to be. So I think it's just, like, heard that message and fully embodied it and was like, this is it. I'm all the way with it, no matter what. So was Nipsey one of your biggest inspirations growing up? Yeah, I think too, because he was accessible. He was around when he remodeled his store. I was there. No way. Yeah. And I remember , it was one of the craziest moments ever, but we ended up getting a call, and so they were like, yeah, you can open up for Nipsey. What? Yeah. So we showed up. We actually didn't even get to perform. It was a crazy story. It's la, it's Hollywood. And it was, like, all on the promoter situation. He showed up to the event late, and he was like, hey, bro, I paid Nipsey . I got to put him on. He want to go on right now. So I'm like, hey, you do business, right? Do what you got to do. But I just remember he walked in, he walked right past me, and I'm like, this is the first time I ever seen him in person. And I was like, I don't know. It's like the way he moved through the room. It wasn't disconnected from everybody. He felt like a part of the crowd, a part of where I feel like the music industry, a lot of these people seem unreachable, and it didn't feel like that when he was there and he was talking to people. He's shaking hands. And you in a room full of people you don't know, mind you. You have affiliations. You don't know if these enemies around, whatever the case may be. But he just moved with, like, hey, I'm here. I fuck with everybody. I love that. So that was definitely dope to see that. And ever since then, I just kind of paid attention to everything he did and watched a lot of his interviews because he was, like, one of those people I just felt, like, always gave back with a message and dropped gems or just anytime that I felt like, man, this is getting rough, it was like, now I keep going, that's dope. Wow. Would you say he was, like, a big musical inspiration, or was there someone else that got you into being an artist? So I would say music inspiration. Yeah. But I would say my first real music inspiration had to be, like, mace. Okay. Mace was, like, legitimately my first favorite rapper. I thought he was super dope when I heard him. Know, I wasn't even into music at the time, but when I thought of a rapper, I was like, if you're not like Mace, you're probably not that. Good of a rapper. He had a whole swagger with it. You know what? Know, like, I grew up with four sisters. My mom's, my aunties, they all loved him. So I'm like, okay, so if I'm. Like that, all the women the ladies gonna love. Yeah, that was. That was something that I paid attention to, is like how he carried himself and just how slick he was. And then on top of that, he really had bars. He really had bars. So I would say Mace was definitely my first musical influence. Okay, I have a question for your guest. Yes. All right. So you talked about sort of the disconnectedness of artists in you. Have you seen a rap environment or a city or space where you feel like the artists do support each other better? Or do you feel like it's just more indicative of the craft of rap, that people are disconnected? I would say so I went to Atlanta once and I feel like almost all the artists there know each other. They go to the same studios, they work with each. It's. Which is kind of crazy to me because you see a lot of these Atlanta artists who don't get along, but then it's like they all still tapped in. They got people that know people that know people and they all work and they all build and they figure out how to settle their differences and still make money. So I think it's just based in LA, for sure. But I'm sure there's other places, like everywhere can't. A humble home where everyone's, like, shaking hands and giving hugs and kisses. So you feel like that would be a good model if LA were to change, then? Yeah, I think so. I mean, also to a lot of LA artists that get on, the first thing they do is go to Atlanta. Right? That's interesting. Yeah, that's the first thing they do is go to Atlanta. They move to. Atlanta. Trying to come here. Yeah. So that's kind of how they bridge the gap. How do I get my base in LA? These LA artists, they get known, everybody over here kind of work together, so they already own, and they just kind of closed the gap there. Wow. Yeah. That's deep. We mentioned something about the ladies loving air, but do we have an announcement? Yeah. So it's crazy, but, yeah, the th, I just got engaged congratulations. I'm so happy for you. Yeah, I know. We had to sprinkle that in. Honestly, it's really been a blessing more than anything. I mean, just to have somebody who rocks with you, like, % and all the way down to everything that I'm trying to do. When I first met her, I would say it didn't take more than, like, a month for her to know lyrics to my songs. And I thought that was crazy because I've been in relationships with people and they'll say, oh, I love that song. And then. What song? I had a song called Madden. They always all knew Madden, but they didn't ever knew lyrics, but that was. They just. I feel like they said it because I used to say that was my favorite song. Right. So that's kind of what that was, but, yeah. And she took a deep dive because she was, like, singing lyrics and I'm like, hey, you know that? How you know that? Yeah, that's a bit of a project that I really think nobody was paying attention to. Congratulations. I think having a partner who believes in you is probably, like, the best thing that you can do for your career. Yeah, absolutely. Or find, I guess. Yeah. Because it's also like having that partner is really like having somebody else who believes in you is just as much as you believe in yourself. So I never felt like I'm fighting this battle by myself. Cry my bag. Absolutely. I think I'm going to cry. Oh, man. Anyway, I ain't even that emotional like that. She really hold me down. For real, dude. That is great to hear, though. And that's hard to find. So you're lucky to have that. I love it. I don't even know how to transition. I should have left that for last. Speaking of songs and lyrics, what song is, I know off the rip is one of your top favorites, but what song is from the heart that we could go play right now or maybe on the upcoming project that really means a lot to. Ooh, from the heart. So there's two on the upcoming project that's definitely from the heart. One is about the lady I proposed to. Okay. And the other one just kind of, like, talking about really how I feel about growing up in LA and just kind of like, how it's kind of changed my views on the world and just a lot of things that are going on. I feel like it fully embodies a lot of the hate, a lot of the racism, things like that. But if I was to say a song that's already out that people could tap into just to see, like, me in that element because I don't really get in that bag too much. It's called Teller. I think it's a really good song. I think it's just a vulnerable song. And I feel like that's more of a song for women to listen to because a lot of men will probably listen to it and be like, bro, I ain't about to do that. Not trying to listen to this. Right? Yeah. Because I feel like we reserve. We don't know how to open up and just tell somebody, like, I'm rocking with you, I love you, I want you, things like that. So that song just kind of like, is pushing you to do something like that. Don't wait or you see somebody that you want and she really impacting your life and things like that. Better tell her. Tell her how you feel. Yeah. I know a couple of people that need to listen to that song. If you all want to go stream it, air the prophecy, tell her. Yes. Go hop in your bag and get your prize. Absolutely. Because he didn't already found his. Because he told her. Oh, we brought it up already. Found it. We brought it up already. Oh, man. Is this the shirt? Nice jacket. How you do that? Yeah. Saul, you're a genius. I specifically thought I would wear this jacket because this is like one of my favorites. And this was the first I bought this jacket to shoot this cover. No way. Yeah. Wow. Are we going to play it? No. Okay. Well, you all know where to find. It, but the project is called Bad Company. And honestly, all my projects, they link together. So bad company. And then there's star power, and it comes with envy. So bad company really started with just kind of like having those voices in my head. Like, man, this is too tough. But then also too, I had an experience where I probably wouldn't have been here today. By the grace of God, I'm still here. And so after going through that, I kind of shut down for a minute and started to really think about life. Like, wow, what am I trying to do? Where am I going to go? I couldn't really write. I had a real mental block. And once I kind of made it out of that, it was like the bad company project that got me out of it. Like, finding specific songs and just putting my emotions or how I felt to the pin to pad. And from there, it was like, star power. Yeah, star power. You mentioned something that I feel like we don't talk about enough writer's block, mental blocks, et cetera. What do you do to kind of force yourself out of that. For me, I think, thankfully, it was just the people I had around me at the time. That's the most important thing is the support system. But then the other thing is experiences. Like, if you stuck, you got to live life. That just means you ain't living enough. If you don't got nothing to write about, you're not living enough. You feel like you're writing about the same thing, you're not living enough. That's good. So that's what it was for me. I took the time to travel a little bit, but then sit with my close cousins faze, Amf, and they kind of just coach me. Like, all right, what you want to write about them? I don't really know. So it was just about, let's just play a selection of beats. We're going to kind of force it out of you. We're going to play something. And I feel like when you are artist, it's always that when you hear a beat and you hear the words, it just kind of goes hand in hand. So that's kind of how it worked for me, is like playing beats and then just like, oh, I hear something for this and then it would just bring it out. But I feel like that one was a little tougher for me because it was a lot of beats I went through. It was a long process, and nothing. Was, like, sounding right. It wasn't resonating with you? No. And it was because, too, I had never been in this type of space in my life before to where I was really mentally affected by something. Wow. So it was just about how to get that out and then how to still give who I am. At the same time in the project, I didn't want to just go in and completely emotionally bring the vibes down with the project, but I still wanted to give who I am. Fun, turned know, have a good time, but also tell my story a little. Yeah. Do you feel being in LA and even from LA and an artist, do you feel pressure to kind of conform or pressure to go with, I guess you said not change. Do you feel pressured to change because of what everybody expects? Honestly, I've never really paid attention to what people expect from me. Keep talking that talk. Yeah, I think that slows people down a lot when you put expectations on people. Like, I can stop on the side of a road and help somebody change a tire, and then once my tire go flat, I can't expect nobody to help me. Right. Because nobody owes me anything. And that's kind of how I look at life. Like, nobody owes me anything. So no matter what you do for somebody, if you do something with the purpose of them owing you, it was no reason for you to do it. It wasn't genuine. I feel like from the moment I met you consistently until right now, I feel like you're very humble, and I feel like that may be the missing ingredient. Okay. Here in LA. So let me just say this, only because I've recently just said this. I feel like I used to use the word humble a lot as well. And then I was watching an interview and this guy said, you ever looked up the definition of humble? That's whack. And I'm like, no, I never looked it up. And so when I looked it up, I realized, like, that's not me. That's not you. If you've ever looked up the definition of humble is basically to show, like. Got it. Having or showing a modest or low estimate of one's importance. I don't feel like I show a low estimate of my importance. That isn't what people use humble as. Right? Yeah. Of low or social administrative rank. Absolutely. I'm a boss. I've never looked up that word. I don't think anybody's ever even prompted me to look into that statement. Yeah, he definitely prompted me to look into that. So be humble. Sit down is really shut the up. Yeah, it's really belittling yourself. Wow. Yeah. So what would you call it? What would you call air? Honestly, I just got a good spirit. That's it. Yeah. I would say, damn. What is a word that means? What we mean when we say humble? I don't know. But when you all figure it out, that's what I'm going to go with. You all let us know in the comments, because right now I got a black's law dictionary right here. I don't know that you need a word to replace that, though, because the way he said it is good enough. Yeah. I think just having a good spirit, that's really what it's about. I feel like that's why people call people humble, is that you're really down to earth, you're really nice, you're not overly confident or cocky or whatever the case may be. A good person. Yeah. I just feel like the way they're trying to describe it is just having a good spirit. Like a good spirited person, somebody who cares about other people, who wants to see other people win, who's not afraid to take the time out, invest into other people and what they're doing and believe in what they're doing showing support. Wow. Dang, I love when I learn new stuff on my show. Yeah, because. Thank you. Coming up, the project's going to be here. What if somebody wants to go see you while they're out in LA? What do we have coming up as far as shows or events? So right now, we got a show in Hollywood, January . What is that about? That's also the day that the magazine releases. What magazine? So I just featured on Underground magazine issue nine. A lot of dope artists, a lot of dope talent. I think something like that is really important for the culture, because that literally embodies support. Building each other up, like working with each other. The freshman class type thing. Yeah. Shout out Tripovsky. Man, he's really doing something dope with that. The whole underground team. Is it LA based underground magazine? Yes, I believe they're from Oxnard, but California. But California based. Yeah. Well, now they're in LA, though. But, yeah, I mean, the whole thing that they're doing over there is really bringing a lot of artists together. It gives us the opportunity to really talk on a level to where we can support each other and tell each other, like, yo, what you're doing is dope, or, I want to get behind what you're doing, or if I could help, or how can I work with you? Wow, that's good. So, collaboration wise, what's a collaboration you've done that has really shaped your career or really given you something that you hadn't gotten before? So I got a song, which is not out yet, but it's. I know. I really don't know, too. I got to tap in with him and see, but it was with a west coast legend, prodigy from south central cartel. Okay. He hit me up maybe, like, mid , and was like, yo, he was like, I got a beef for you. He sent it to me, and I would say in the hour, I had a verse, called him back, like, you want me to come record it now? He's like, come tomorrow. So I came. I dropped the verse. He was like, we just need a hook. I'm driving home, maybe minutes. On the way home, I hit him back. I got a hook. You want me to turn around? I love it. Did you turn around? I didn't. I came back. Okay. But, yeah, that's something I think I always learned from him because he's been in the game. He was signed to Dev Jam for, like, years. You know what I mean? He produced some of the biggest hits. Know, this is how we do with Montel Jordan tracks for, you know, he's always giving game and telling me the ins and outs and I think just kind of working with him and seeing how to put a record together that was timeless or that I feel could be timeless was something to take away from and definitely stepped my game up on how I arranged music. Wow. Yeah. That's dope. In terms of someone that you would love to work with in the future. Do you have anybody that is at the top of the top of the list? Yeah, I have two. They kind of like neck and neck because it's definitely going to be mace, man. If I can get mace on a track, period up and then mace coming for you. Yeah. Adam Levine is number two. Adam Levine, what? He's a music genius, man. I remember when room five really blew up and it's crazy because I listen to songs like this, but it's not my vibe % to put it out, but I write them all the time. I don't know, it's like I'm getting used to opening up and showing my vulnerable side. That's what it is. But that's dope. That's gross, though, because it's not your normal face. You have to tap into a different face to even get there. That reminds me of his collaboration maroon five and with Khalifa. Payphone. Yes. That music video is one of my favorite music videos there ever was. I think that was the time that I realized I want to do a song with Adam Levine was seeing that video but then hearing how he came together with a rap artist because I've heard maroon five in one space only to me. Right. So to see him branch out to our side of it and then make a big hit like that, I was like, that's what I need to do a song with that was really. And he's done it with multiple know. It didn't stop with Khalifa, but I just feel like if I do something with him, it's going to be definitely special and it's going to the moon for. Yeah. Yeah. Well, Mace, Adam Levine, you know where to find us. We'll be at the door. As far as your performances, you have a bunch of performances coming up, a quote unquote tour, if you will. Absolutely. What is your. If you have one pre performance ritual. Man, honestly, this one's going to sound crazy because I do this every show. And it really started on the way to my first show. I turn on Kanye. Oh, my drive. The whole drive to the show. All Kanye. All Kanye. What era? College dropout. Honestly, I've liked almost all eras. There's probably one Kanye album I didn't like, which one? It might have been the life of Pablo or something. I don't even know what. The album? Yeah, I think that's the one I really didn't listen to. But everything else I've always tapped know. I know he's quote unquote crazy, but I think he's still a genius. I think there's always something to take from everybody that we deem crazy, and we just have to really sit down and listen to the message. I mean, there's always little things. I've watched some of his interviews where people was like, oh, he's spazzing out. And then I played it back twice, and I'm like, hold on, he's saying something. All right, we're not going years of slave on this show. I don't know about the years of slave, but it's just a few things. But, yeah, that's probably, like, my rituals. I play Kanye, I would say all day, is like my number one. I probably play that like four times. Okay. Anytime I go to a show to see people perform, if I know whose show I'm going to, obviously I pregame their music on my way to my show. So if you're pregaming to a huge artist, star power, it's what you're going to get. Absolutely. I get it. I think it's hard, too, to pregame to my music only because I'm already going there to perform the music, know the lyrics, and I don't listen to a lot of artists. I don't listen to a lot of music. And when I do listen to music, it's people that are not like big artists on a daily basis. I listen to my homies, things like that. Oh, that's good. That's so nice. I don't really ever hear many people say that. They'd mostly just say either their favorite artist or themselves. Those are the only two things. And it's nice to hear that you are supporting your friends as well, because I think as much as you can support them, they're going to support you. Yeah. Not that they owe me that or. Nothing, but it's not like an expectation, but it's just like I'm a post you eventually. I'm sure you're going to post. Absolutely. Yeah. I think we rock with each other, and I feel like their music is just as good as anybody else's right now. So that's why I listen to it, just because it's close to home. And I feel like I relate to it more. Once you get to a certain level, the messages seems sometimes to get a little more distant. Yeah. Lil Baby once said, it's enough money in here for all of us. I'm a post your music. Okay. Yeah. And I think that's why Lil Baby is so successful is that he wanted those people that tap in with everybody. And two, he lived life, but he still stayed to his core and does absolutely. With him one time and will. Okay, we're manifesting all the things. Okay. For sure. And as far as over the next, well, over the , what are your goals, plans, ideas? Where do you want to be at the end of this year? So tour for sure. Just maybe. Maybe two. One at the beginning of the year, which is already in the works, and then one at the end of the year. West coast, national, international. Honestly, I just want to mix all of it. I want to touch everywhere. I feel like I got a message for. And I would say I want at least two projects. So I've already got one coming. Should be out by March, I'm hoping. March, I think March. I mean, it's practically ready. It's just arranging it and getting all the pieces ready. Perfection takes some time. Absolutely. I don't want to give you all nothing half ass. Right. But then too, I got so much music recorded, I could probably drop one at the end of the year as well. Already stocked up. Yeah. If you had to guesstimate how many songs are in the vault right now. Is that included? Including songs that I've written and haven't recorded? No. Okay. That's cheating. Okay. Because I have songs that are written I haven't recorded. But I got the beats, I bought everything. Really? Yeah. I have mad songs that I've written too, but personally, I don't know that they'll ever be recorded, so I can't count them. I feel like my songs that definitely get recorded, it's just that when I get into like a pocket, I'm like, this is what I want to talk about. That's what I focus on. Okay. So outside of the songs just that's written. I would say I have a few hundred. Wow. Yeah. Recorded. Already recorded. Yeah. So definitely enough for another couple of projects. Probably dropped two projects this year, three in total. Wait, most important question. Are you going to be married next year? No. So definitely . That's a good. That's a good year. Yeah. Because I got a lot going on too. And we trying to take the time to live a little. More travel, and that's probably what you're going to hear about a lot in the music is like, more experiences, more life. I'm going to be overseas a lot this year. Yes, absolutely. I would love to hear more of everything that you were saying about your soon to be wife, because there's not enough of that in music. It's always bitches and hoes, and I'm tired of it. Right. Absolutely. I think. I don't know. Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't Jay Z refer to Beyonce as his bitch one time or something like that? Probably did, because everyone does it. Everyone does it. You'll absolutely never get that from me. She don't got a know bone in her body at all. I love that. See, this just goes all the way back to the good person. Screw the humble. We're not doing that no more. And, you know, while we're back on the humble topic, I did see it was either an interview or some type of video, and they were like, don't tell me to be humble because I should feel this way about myself. I should feel like my music is this good because I'm the one that believes in it. I should feel higher. Don't sit me down. Don't cut me down. Yeah. And I think, too, just to say, showing up for yourself, believing in yourself, if nobody else is believing you and you humble, you ain't going nowhere. Oh, wow. You're not going nowhere. That's good. I think that's, like, the perfect gem to take us out with. So thank you. I really have enjoyed spending time with you on the set, and I thank you for coming down here, and I'm so excited for what this year has in store for you. Thank you for having me. It was definitely a dope experience. I feel like I got to express a little more than I usually do. Yes, please do. And is there anything else, and you don't have to. Is there anything else you feel like we need to hear from you or any type of advice maybe you didn't get earlier that you want to leave us with? Honestly, I don't feel like there was any advice. I just feel like the only thing that, or maybe there was, I really didn't have it early on was don't quit because there was a lot of periods of times where I slowed down. I didn't quit, but slowing down is just right, and quitting is almost the same thing. So just keep going. That's it. If anybody could tell you anything, keep going. I love that.
