Episode Transcript
[00:00:03] Speaker A: Hey, everybody. Welcome back to the Royalty Room. Today we have an amazing artist. He goes by Havoc. Just 20 years. Sorry, 21 years old from South Central. Okay. And not only is he an artist, he's a private chef to celebrities. I mean, how do you manage having a chef career and a music career? They're both, like, super taxing, aren't they?
[00:00:33] Speaker B: Yeah, for the most part. When I first started, like, doing or wanting to do music, because music. Music always was a dream for me. But originally, before I started using my voice, it was like dance that I was really involved in.
And once that happened and I got older, as time passed, like, I would go to studios and stuff like that. And then I started to realize when it comes to music and just having a career and being somebody who wants freedom and even a partner, just. Just anything, like, you have to have a job.
[00:01:06] Speaker A: Right.
[00:01:07] Speaker B: So I went to college originally for music.
I went for music, but it was during the pandemic, because I grad, or towards the end of the pandemic, I graduated high school in 2021.
[00:01:21] Speaker A: Yikes. That's like a very unfortunate time to start life. Like, pandemic. And now you're off the porch. That's kind of crazy to think about in a way.
[00:01:33] Speaker B: But it kind of. It kind of worked out and I enjoyed every single second. Like. Like during the pandemic. Yeah, I was in the house, but when I was inside of school, because I originally went to El Camino, I got financial aid, ended up purchasing, like, piano equipment to learn the piano. But I was getting taught through video calls with every other student on how to play the piano. And it's like I'm the. I'm a. I'm a hands on, in person type of person when it comes to communication, learning or working. Like, even when people send me opens or things for features or if I'm having a studio session, walking out of the room and disconnecting, the energy is something that will throw things off. So I say that to say I basically dropped out of El Camino. I just wasn't motivated to do that. And then my older sister, Shout out Smiley. She actually does catering too. She's a chef.
[00:02:26] Speaker A: Okay.
[00:02:26] Speaker B: Yeah.
My older sister, she was in culinary school at the time, and that was the only class at LA harbor that was in person because it's cooking.
[00:02:39] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:02:40] Speaker B: And certain classes weren't online and staff was still there, so people needed to be fed. So she was like, just come to culinary school with me. I ended up going, but when I went, I was like, two, three, Weeks into the. In. Into culinary school. So, like, I didn't have any knives, right? Any. Any chef codes, any equipment.
And basically, it was okay because during that time, they were learning certain things, and more book work was getting done. So once the act we actually got on the floor, we would kind of be somewhat prepared.
[00:03:10] Speaker A: I. I'm, like, envisioning right now when Drew Ski went on Hell's Kitchen.
[00:03:15] Speaker B: Like.
[00:03:15] Speaker A: Like, he just showed up on Hell's Kitchen, and now he's just a chef. Like, that's what I'm envisioning this story as.
[00:03:22] Speaker B: Yeah. And. And when. When I originally went to culinary school, like, in college, like, it. It was such a fun time for me because during that time, I didn't. I didn't have the social status that I have now, number one. Then number two, the things that I have now that supply, confidence, basically, sense of self, things that I've worked on to develop myself, to be able to say that I'm this, I do that, I do that. I do that. I didn't have it. So I was 18 going into culinary school, but I was really excited. I was. I had. I'm pretty sure I had the most energy out of everybody throughout my entire three semesters.
[00:03:59] Speaker A: A thousand percent. I believe that about you.
[00:04:01] Speaker B: Yeah. I'm like seven in the morning, going in. Whoa. Good job. Y' all ready to get started?
[00:04:06] Speaker A: And then I feel like that's how I met you. Like, literally, like, that's the exact level of energy from when I. I met you.
[00:04:13] Speaker B: Yeah, I feel like shows and stuff like that. That. That's. That's. Yeah, I definitely do have a lot of energy and exert that. I'll go more into detail into that too. But back to the culinary. Like, going into culinary school or initially off the bat, it was a lot more fun, a lot more playful, and I had my sister there with me, and I didn't really grow up with any of my siblings like.
Like that. And I started to really reconnect with them as I became an adult, and as I started to do that, you know, like, we. She had picked me up in her little bucket. You know, we'll drive to school in the morning. And sometimes, you know, because she had. She has my nephew, sometimes she would.
She wouldn't pick me up because, you know, she have a lot going on and stuff like that. So I would get up at, like, five in the morning.
From five in the morning, it's like Figueroa and Imperial. Like, that whole train station. I would go from 127 to Figan Imperial. Like, ride my skateboard in the morning and then get on the train and ride that. Not the train. I get on the bus and the bus will take the freeway all the way to basically like Harbor City.
[00:05:20] Speaker A: Damn.
[00:05:21] Speaker B: And that would be like every morning. Some days I would get out of school and then go. And you know, I ended up through culinary school. I ended up linking up with actual family.
I ended up working at. Getting hired at Benihana and just learning a lot. I even participated in the culinary competition between the three. Three schools within my district.
Stuff like that.
Shout out LA harbor. Because as of current, we have the trophy, you know.
[00:05:49] Speaker A: Okay. Shout out LA Harbor.
[00:05:51] Speaker B: Yeah, but yeah, shout out Chef Eric, Chef Jimmy, Chef Jackson, Seth Mings, ft.
[00:05:58] Speaker A: Is this like a known thing? Like say everybody that I know that you know, Is this a known thing that you're just a chef? Or is this something that.
[00:06:06] Speaker B: Oh, see, I discovered. I'm going to. I'm going to take it back. What are you asking me that if everybody knows that I'm. Yeah, I mean, thing pretty much now. Like, like with the last Underground mag writing camp, I shift for everybody.
[00:06:23] Speaker A: Oh, wow.
[00:06:25] Speaker B: While simultaneously being an artist. And I feel like at the camp, I wouldn't say that I. I really don't know the count, but I'm pretty sure I knocked out more songs than most people.
[00:06:34] Speaker A: Wow, that's amazing. So for those who don't know, Havoc and I met at Underground magazine's issue nine release party.
My artist that I manage, Air the Prophecy. You guys all know him by now. Um, they were on the same magazine and they have multiple records together. Big deal. Avalanche.
Wonderful. From. I think that was the first camp last summer, right?
[00:07:02] Speaker B: Yeah, yeah, it was that. And that camp was pretty lit too. Like, we ended up driving to West Hollyhood Wood and the camp was in the hills and it was a 12 hour back to back thing. And the funny thing about that camp, I think we made big deal. The.
I think the first day. Yeah, the first day of the camp, we made big deal. And the funny part about that day is the night before I. I got no sleep. I was up 24 hours. Like on the first day of the camp life.
[00:07:32] Speaker A: That's your artist's favorite thing to do.
[00:07:35] Speaker B: And it's because I had work. I was at Benihana.
[00:07:37] Speaker A: Okay.
[00:07:38] Speaker B: When I was at Benihana, I ended up getting home and had to handle something there. And that just kept me up all night. So I was just like on the way to going to the camp and then I was playing Michael Jackson song Stranger in Moscow and then I was singing it and then I was like listening, listening to how like he hit his falsettos and stuff like that. And fast forward to the camp. Shout out Casey because the song re up, we were all like the first day of the camp, we were all trying to figure out each other's energy because everybody didn't know anybody. I had no idea who Casey was like, and I didn't know what his skill level was. Him, Keita, yz prophecy. Prophecy. He. He just being a cut. He'd be chilling.
[00:08:22] Speaker A: Right. You know, I'm just now getting him to like be in the front. Like now he. He be talking to people and stuff, but otherwise he's gonna be ducked off.
[00:08:31] Speaker B: Yeah. And I mean, it makes sense that, that if that works for you, that works for you. But basically the song Re up, I don't judge a book by his cover. So come and read up, girl, I lost you way back then but this story up, me and Casey like kind of like bounced off of each other's energy and creative ability to make that hook. But at the time, I think he. I think his voice is better now. He found like a little steam system or something like that to help him out, but he. He couldn't hit the high notes and chop was engineering and, you know, I basically ended up doing that. And that's how that kicked off. And then YZ came with big deal and we were all just trying to figure it out because Keita liked it, Curry liked it. Of course YZ liked it. I liked it. And then I just. I knew I knew a voice at the time.
[00:09:25] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:09:25] Speaker B: And I was like, we need you, bro. But like, we need you, like to just stamp it.
[00:09:32] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:09:32] Speaker B: I feel like him on any type of hook, it. You can't. He's the artist to where, like, when you hear his voice, you're gonna notice his voice.
[00:09:40] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:09:41] Speaker B: You know?
[00:09:41] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:09:42] Speaker B: It's.
[00:09:42] Speaker A: It's a. A big presence. I agree.
[00:09:45] Speaker B: Yeah. And when it comes to big deal, you know how there was a music video shot shout out motionless creations. Because I was the person who asked him. I was like, are you about to leave right now? He was like, yeah. I was like, do you think you get like some like, you know, behind the scene footage for like, just this song that we did? Because I knew that that song was like a hit crazy song. And then he was like, yeah. And then we could kept talking and then he just ended up deciding to make a music video. Wow.
[00:10:12] Speaker A: Right then and there.
[00:10:13] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:10:14] Speaker A: That's amazing.
[00:10:14] Speaker B: And then I had to like everybody was still recording, so I had to go in and be like, hey, you come here. No, you come here. I had to go like upstairs, downstairs, all the way around just finding people and. Yeah, that's dope.
[00:10:24] Speaker A: Shout out to Andrew and Povsky over at Underground magazine. Yes, it's definitely been a journey to watch unfold and I feel like it's created like such a huge sense of community and support through the, through the magazine. So it's, it's really nice to see like the, the transition over the last two years since we've been involved and.
[00:10:48] Speaker B: And being in the mag, like, and just in the industry, period. Like as an artist, like I have dealt with both sides of certain types of artists. You have, you have, you have this. The certain artists who go off of their own energy, you know, and, and don't invest as much financially into certain things, you know, that, that move in a, in a ways way to where it's like a. Trying to get over based off of what, where their social status is in the moment. And then you have other artists who, who choose to take a route to where they have no option but to invest in themselves, you know, like, like for example, like with, with the mag, like underground mag, like that's something that you're going to have to work for, to invest, to be able to put whatever you need to behind it. And, and in that, and you just, you just see a different type of energy, a different type of perspective. Perspective and work ethic.
[00:11:42] Speaker A: So you feel like you get back what you've put in.
[00:11:44] Speaker B: Yeah. And you're just surrounded by like minded individuals who are willing to work for, you know, and, and, and, and willing.
[00:11:54] Speaker A: To actually do instead of just say or think.
Yeah, I feel like that's what I get from you guys. And speaking of motionless creations, he's the one that just did your newest music video, right?
[00:12:05] Speaker B: Oh yeah. Like me. Shout out. Like me, man. Shout out. Motionless.
Okay, okay. So would you like to know how that song was made?
[00:12:14] Speaker A: I want to know everything about it. And I also want to say that I was at the LV Recording Studios and Underground anniversary when you shot the video. So if I'm somewhere in the cut, I'm happy that I made it, but I don't think I did. But y' all just, y' all know I was there, so go watch the video.
[00:12:32] Speaker B: Yeah, shout out that video, man.
[00:12:35] Speaker A: Underground Studios.
[00:12:37] Speaker B: Yeah. Yeah.
[00:12:40] Speaker A: So how did, where did, did you start the song? Did one of the other. Okay, tell me what happened?
[00:12:44] Speaker B: So when it comes to me as the artist, I want to let you know and then everybody else know that I.
I'm an artist that can freestyle for however long I want to. Wow.
[00:12:56] Speaker A: That's a blessing.
[00:12:57] Speaker B: Like.
Yeah. And. And it's not something that, like, I just picked up on.
I feel like freestyling is. Is something that.
It's something that. It's like, you know those water balloons.
Water balloon small ones, and you try and blow air into it.
[00:13:11] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:13:12] Speaker B: It's like really, really, really, really hard at first, but then once you get the air and you can just expand it right until the pops. That's how freestyling.
That's how I started. Shout out Jay Hart's. That's actually somebody who I started doing music with when I was, like, 15, and we were freestyle about things that we saw inside the room, you know, so it would just play a beat, keep it going, and just figure it out.
Try and get your brain to work in certain ways and challenge yourself. And it was fun. And then also, like, who doesn't.
Who doesn't like music? Music makes the world go around. But back to, like, me. So how it started was, you know, I'm. I'm. I'm getting, like, right off of the chefing.
My chefing stuff is getting done. I just finished cleaning up, and I go upstairs. I'm really all around the camp hopping on songs here, there, left and right. Like, because I don't need to write. If I want to write, I'll write. But when it comes to camps in underground, like, I only write when it's like, a song that freestyling does not click.
[00:14:09] Speaker A: Yeah. Like, you have to think about it and tell a story and stuff. Yeah.
[00:14:13] Speaker B: So I ended up going upstairs, and when I walk into the room, YZ is in there, Dio is in there. Kids, Kita is in there, Curry is in there.
And I forgot bro's name, but he has locks. And he was at the last camp too, and Chop was in there. And then they started, like, you know, playing beats, and I'm just like, okay, okay. And then I start hearing multiple beats. We went through, like, one or two, one to three beats. And then once we went through those beats, we ended up selecting one. Chop was like, no, no, no. That. That one. That one right there. So as the beat is playing, everybody else needs to write.
So as soon as the beat goes, I'm on it, and I'm just freestyling out loud. And he's like, bro, bro, bro, sit down. Get behind the Mic, do what you got to do. I'm like, okay, cool. The beat plays, but the beat plays. And I don't do one take. I do, like, two takes, two full takes of the entire instrumental. So it's just like, as I'm rapping and doing what I'm doing, the. The. The first take is the most natural take, obviously, because it's like the first thing. But then the second take, I always do that just for reassurance for myself. And then I know, like, legends to do that. Like, yeah, legendary. Like, Shout Out Juice World. Like, I. I feel like his capability and his craft and stuff like that. Like, just how he did it, it was. It was. It was amazing. And it was inspiring for the time that I got inspired by it. And one thing that Chop told me, he was like, I've never seen nothing like this. This is like some Juice World type shit, bro. Like, this is crazy.
Yeah. So that's when.
As I'm freestyling and as I'm at the camp, something that I have access to, which is a blessing. I have a studio outside of underground, outside of everybody.
And that's what. The engineer that I first started working with when I was 18. Wow. And his name is Obi Omar. He's from Egypt. He flew out here and, you know, we built the studio once, and then now we built it twice. Now we're gonna have to build it a third time because, you know, transitioning and just moving. And we're probably going to move it out to Hollywood. You know, it's a conversation to, you know, to be had.
[00:16:24] Speaker A: Hollywood is the place to be if you want to be central. I'm telling you, catch us in Hollywood Hills. Okay.
[00:16:32] Speaker B: Yeah. But basically something that I always try to do is just remember my training, because the amount of hours that I put in and just music, period, like, I've put in, I've put in well over my 10k.
[00:16:47] Speaker A: Ain't that what. What you need to be a master at your craft?
[00:16:49] Speaker B: Yeah. I put it. I've calculated. I put over 70,000, so.
[00:16:54] Speaker A: Wow.
[00:16:54] Speaker B: And the amount of music that I have, like, just. Just in. In our hard drive, and It's. It's over 44 gigabytes, like, of music. Music.
[00:17:02] Speaker A: Wow.
[00:17:02] Speaker B: So I. I have.
[00:17:04] Speaker A: So that's what you say you're gonna be dropping, dropping, dropping. Because we don't need stuff to just be sitting in the vault, right?
[00:17:10] Speaker B: Yeah. And then also the things that are inside of the vault, like, it's.
I don't know.
I do have a lot of good Stuff, you know, But I also have a lot of stuff that I already do want to create and stuff like that. And it's just a lot. It's just a lot. It's a lot to go through.
[00:17:27] Speaker A: I mean, you have plenty of time. You've been doing music for a while, but you are still 21, so you literally have unlimited time to do everything that you want to do. I feel like we're always thinking, especially going through Covid and going through, you know, like, 20, 25, kind of rocky. Like, we think, you know, oh, my God, I have to do all of this right now. But you don't. Like, there's still time to breathe. There's still time to take care of yourself and time to plan. So I feel like everybody is kind of freaked out right now with the way that this year is going.
[00:18:01] Speaker B: That's. That's definitely true as far as, like, taking, you know, taking my breather and taking time. But, like, something about myself is, like, as of late, like, 2024, like, it's been a year to where I've, like, really had to grow up.
I had to grow up, and I had to experience. Experience everything.
When I say everything, I'm talking about, like, emotionally on the emotional spectrum, I experienced all of it. On the mental spectrum, I've experienced all of it.
[00:18:33] Speaker A: How'd you know I was going into mental health next?
[00:18:36] Speaker B: Just flow, but.
And then on. On the spirit, spiritual side, I. I've. I've been going.
I went through a lot, like, moving to. Moving to OC at 20. I moved out. I moved out the house at 20. So when I moved out, it was. It was something exciting. And I like. I like, easy, just like that. Done.
I worked hard. I saved up a lot. And, you know, I moved in with my girl.
My friend that I started music with, and then my girl's friend.
It was a big. It's a big house, so I had roommates, but that was a situation within itself. You know, I learned from that. And then also, even, like, with music and just people that I've surrounded myself with, like, this year, I had to literally, like, cut off, clean house. Yep. Everybody.
Everybody. Because I feel like it's.
I don't know, I felt. I felt as if, like, cutting people off would be something that is, like, wrong or something that. That's heartless to do. But when you get to a certain point, like, just inside of your life as an adult, because I feel like as adults, we all forget at a point in time that we all have free will. Everybody has an opportunity, a choice to make. There's always something within our control that can make or break our next opportunity or just keep us stagnant.
And it all has to do with awareness and how aware certain people are and how, how you are, how you operate in certain rooms and how you move. Like, I, I have, I have, I have, I have just realized like through trial and error that I have a specific type of way that I want to live, that I want to operate. There are standards that I see for myself that aren't really compromisable if I don't want them to be. Like, I'm not, I'm not going to compromise anything if I don't want to. Like, if you're not worth it, you know, if, if the risk is more than the reward or if there is a risk that's. That will mess up anything. Like, I'm good.
[00:20:53] Speaker A: Yeah, got to go.
[00:20:54] Speaker B: Like, it's certain artists, certain rappers that I've surrounded myself with like, that I will never work with again.
[00:21:01] Speaker A: Amen. And I feel like this, this piece is a huge part of, of mental health and self care. Because if you don't know when people gotta go, they're gonna keep taking and taking and taking or leeching or just being there and just having people there just to be there.
Like you said, it could, it could cost everything. It could just keep you exactly where you are. So I think that, that like having those boundaries and making those calls is really important to growth and your mental health overall.
[00:21:37] Speaker B: And then sometimes like what I can say is there, there's at times when it comes to cutting people off, it could be a sense of dread or fear that you have for like, oh, like I don't want to have this conversation. And you just realize up, I don't have to talk to you. I don't.
I am a grown ass man. Like, like, like, bye.
[00:21:57] Speaker A: I ain't got nothing to say.
[00:21:59] Speaker B: Like if, if you, if you, if you like, okay. Kendrick said it himself. I cut off my granny if she don't see it. I see it, bro.
I will. I cut off my. I'm not even going to go too much into that. But I've cut off personal people. I'm at a point to where it's like it, it doesn't matter who you are because I come with a certain type of intention, you know, and learning intention versus impact and state of flow and just, just, just flowing within yourself and what that means.
It can, it can, it can really be tricky. Yeah, it could be tricky. It could Be something that's like, you know, it could just give you anything.
[00:22:40] Speaker A: Yeah, you have to be intentional about yourself because if you're not, then how would anybody else know?
You know what I mean?
So like, how does.
And this is a great first, first step. But, but being in the music industry, you've been, you've been doing this for, for quite some time now.
[00:22:59] Speaker B: 10 years plus.
[00:23:00] Speaker A: Okay, so a decade. How has navigating this industry had an effect on your mental health? And how do you keep saying, how do you keep going?
[00:23:11] Speaker B: Okay, so originally when I started doing music, the first time that I ever freestyled a rap or anything like that, I was a kid. I was like in middle school. And then I had a friend, close friend, Me and him, we were rap together. He, he would teach me certain strategies. We freestyle like two bars each back to back and walk all the way home and catch the bus in the morning, do the same thing. You know, I feel like that I have.
My love for music was so strong.
When I saw potential in people who had a specific skill set, I looked past all the other bs, you know, I looked past the problems and I didn't really focus on it because I, I like music that much. Like that's, it's something for me that, I don't know, it, it just, it created, it's valuable, you know, that, that, that's something that I've worked on for so long. But as far as like navigating my mental health and how it's had an effect, um, sometimes when, when you're in the industry, like you really can lose the sense of reality.
Like you can, absolutely, you can get caught up in a lot of things, whether it's the materialistic social status or just the attention that you get from people.
Because it's definitely an attention based sport and certain people just give you attention.
[00:24:44] Speaker A: An attention based sport.
That's good.
That's a really good way to put it. Holy.
Kind of mind blown. Sorry to interrupt, but that's really a good way to put it.
[00:24:58] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:24:59] Speaker A: All right, wrap it up. We're done here. That was enough. No, I'm just kidding.
Attention based sport. So how do you like not let things get to your head or get bigger than you are or how do you keep all that to a minimum?
[00:25:14] Speaker B: That all has to do outside of the music.
Working, working on myself, like keeping up my physical health, working out, lifting weights, being outside, sitting in the sun, meditating, talking to God, eating healthy, drinking healthy.
That's about all starts with self care. Yeah.
[00:25:36] Speaker A: And self love.
Self love. I feel like the, the 20s is essentially a decade of finding out how to love yourself.
[00:25:48] Speaker B: Yeah.
Oh, that's interesting.
I feel like just, just where my mind is, like, I don't really think like the average 21 year old or just the average anything. Like I, and, and like I, I see something that I've, I've been taught is to learn from other people's mistakes. At times I don't. But, but certain times, like certain things like that the quote unquote average 20 year old should do, to have fun or do this or do that. Like, I'm not doing, like I'm, I'm on some whole other. My mind is for what I'm about to do. It's. It's about to be crazy.
[00:26:27] Speaker A: So what we about to do, what are we going to see from Havoc this year?
[00:26:31] Speaker B: You're definitely going to see more content, change in aesthetic, projects definitely being released, events, more chefing, you know, just, just stuff like that. Like I'm.
[00:26:43] Speaker A: Now, if we're saying we're doing more chefing, the royalty room cast is going to need to try the food.
[00:26:50] Speaker B: Food.
[00:26:50] Speaker A: Just to make sure, you know, you're doing it appropriately. So whenever you feel that you want to bless the cast, as in me, let me know.
[00:27:00] Speaker B: And me.

Shout out to the newest energy drink on the scene. Okay. This is the original regular flavor, but it does come in tropical. It comes in berry, comes in sugar free. And Saul, you want to join us in our taste test?
[00:27:34] Speaker B: Yes.
[00:27:36] Speaker A: We're going to get real live reactions for our sponsors and get you some energy. I don't know if you personally need any more, but this is gonna do it for you.
Cheers.
[00:27:55] Speaker B: Cheers.
[00:27:57] Speaker A: Oh, that sounded crisp.

[00:28:00] Speaker B: Let's see.

[00:28:10] Speaker B: It's giving.
Aftertaste of bubblegum.

I like this stuff.
Shout out to my sponsors. Y' all gotta come down here and get you one of these because I'm telling you.
[00:28:29] Speaker B: Yeah, these are not bad at all.
[00:28:32] Speaker A: Satisfyingly sweet taste without compromising quality or purity. Carbon dioxide adds a refreshing fizz to the drinks.
All right, I'm so y' all better go Check out Bomber on the Internet, because it's the new thing coming.
[00:28:51] Speaker B: I'm finishing mine.
[00:28:52] Speaker A: You finished it already?
[00:28:53] Speaker B: No, I'm finishing it.
[00:28:54] Speaker A: Oh, okay. Tap in with me because I got plenty more where that came from. But back to havoc.
I want to know what is something that you want your fans and your audience to know that they probably have no idea about you or what are they? What do you want them to see out of you?
[00:29:22] Speaker B: Oh, that's a question. Okay, Okay.
[00:29:25] Speaker A: I know. I feel like there's so many layers to you. Where do we start?
[00:29:30] Speaker B: I could talk about myself for hours.
[00:29:32] Speaker A: I'm just saying, I mean, this is your time.
This is your time to do it. This is your hour.
[00:29:38] Speaker B: Okay. Okay. Something. Something about me that most people do not know.
[00:29:48] Speaker A: Damn, I stumped you.
Is this a legal business?
Oh, there goes air. The prophecy.
[00:29:57] Speaker B: Yeah, there it is.
Okay. Okay.
[00:29:59] Speaker A: This is your logo, right?
[00:30:01] Speaker B: Yeah. That's Next gen. Yeah.
[00:30:03] Speaker A: You gave me a T shirt at the show when I first met you.
[00:30:06] Speaker B: Oh, that's fire.
I forgot.
[00:30:09] Speaker A: Yeah, no, see, that's what I'm saying. Your energy is always on a thousand. So you're just like one of those cartoon characters that's bouncing around. You're just, here, here, here, do this, do this. I gotta do this.
And I appreciate that, because if I didn't have this. This nice little energy drink right here, I wouldn't have any.
[00:30:28] Speaker B: Okay. Something that I want my fans to know that they don't know about me yet, which is something that I want you guys to.
As far as what has been put out for me and just, you know, my solo songs, features included too, like, you know, like, nobody really has seen my truest capability.
I feel like.
I feel like I've been not BSing, but it's that cut off of other people and other people's energy is something that I have. I've been needing to do for years now. I'm at a point to where it's about to be. It's about to. It's. It's. It's. It's about to do.
It's about to be something that nobody has ever seen before or I feel like. Yeah. And. And. And also when it comes to the artists that I've surrounded myself with, every single artist that I've ever worked with, surrounding myself with, there's always been something that is learned, but I've also realized that there's no. There's no artists like me with my capabilities.
So.
Yeah.
[00:31:53] Speaker A: Is there, like, a genre of music that you've Ventured into that nobody would.
Or that you want to.
[00:32:08] Speaker B: Yeah, I was gonna say that I want to.
Okay, so rap, that's something that everybody knows.
Rock is something indie. Indie is something that, that I can see that also Afro. Afro beats and stuff like that. Like, I'm gonna have a project with a. With genres like that. And then also, like, I really. I want songs like, with artists that, that aren't necessarily involved inside of the rap culture.
Like, Like a female artist that I really like. Do you know who Aurora is?
[00:32:46] Speaker A: I do, actually.
[00:32:47] Speaker B: Yeah. Like, she, Her. Her sonics in her sounds are just like crazy. And I, I wouldn't say that I'm in her boat because her boat is her boat, but I have music that, that nobody's. No, no, no. That. That nobody's really heard. A select few has heard it. But like, I, I really have a lot of amazing music like, on the way. Like, I can't. I can't. I can't really say anything else other than that. But that. And then also.
[00:33:25] Speaker A: Tell me as far as. Give me the tea.
[00:33:27] Speaker B: As far as the like me video, right?
So I didn't want to. With a, like me, you know, like, like I be talking, you know, I'll be. I'll be rapping like, like that way. But like, genuinely, I'm, I'm. I'm not a man whore.
[00:33:42] Speaker A: No, not that guy.
[00:33:44] Speaker B: Nah.
[00:33:44] Speaker A: Okay, I'll. I'll take your word for it.
[00:33:47] Speaker B: Yeah, it's. It's based, truthfully, like, it's based off of energy, you know, and, And I guess desires in that moment, like when I, When I made that song, like, I was on.
I was on a different type of timing. That's all I'm gonna say.
[00:34:08] Speaker A: This smile, like, whenever you talk about your music. That is all I need to know about what's coming. Because the fact that you are so excited about your craft makes me want to learn and listen more. You know what I mean? Like, when I met you, I was just like, yeah, he's definitely, like, he's really serious about what he's doing and he really loves it. And a lot of people, like, once they start doing music or once they do it for so long or whatever, like, the passion just kind of disappears and it's just a job, but it's beautiful to see.
[00:34:42] Speaker B: Yeah, I am.
You can, you can, you can mark my words. But I'm about to be one of the biggest artists in the world, like, in, in. In. In history. I swear to God, like, I have, I have had this in my Mind since I was three.
[00:34:59] Speaker A: There's so many manifestations that come to light on the Royalty Room. So we heard it here first.
[00:35:05] Speaker B: Yeah, I'm. I'm. I'm so serious. Like, it's. It's. It's at a point to where, like, I've. I've done all my errors. I've had a lot of my errors. So now like, I'm just on the come up. Like, I hit rock bottom just like in a lot of areas. But now I am. I'm at a point to where, like, I'm aware. I feel like I've gained the knowledge and the tools where to put certain things financially, certain connections, you know, Shout out to you.
[00:35:28] Speaker A: Okay. Legal, Queen, la.
[00:35:31] Speaker B: Yeah, but I'm serious. Like, I.
I have something to prove. Not just to myself and not just for the love of music, but like so many things that have happened, like, personally within my life at the moment to where it's like, I'm glad that I cut the people off that I cut off because now about to on gotta go.
[00:35:52] Speaker A: What ot say cut it, but gotta go.
[00:35:58] Speaker B: But yeah. And then also another thing is like, I. I genuinely don't do music for selfish reasons.
I don't do it for Status Quo.
Music has been something that has saved my life and it is been the thing that has kept me going and kept me feeling that I. As if I had something when I felt as if I had nobody.
[00:36:22] Speaker A: So it is essentially a piece of therapy.
[00:36:25] Speaker B: Oh. Oh yeah. Like something that I've done. Like, and this is with unreleased music that nobody's heard, which it isn't fair to you guys and the listeners. Like, my music has, like, given me wisdom to move with in my future. Like, I would make a song, and in that song I give advice to myself in the future, the future, and in the present.
[00:36:44] Speaker A: I love that.
[00:36:45] Speaker B: So it's like, it's. It's all connected with. With. With different errors within my life. And I feel like now I'm moving into some, like, just a. An era of open terrain and. And knowledge to where I feel like I've gathered all the Infinity Gauntlets. You know, I've used every single one separately. But now I'm just forging the glove to make it. And then once I make it.
[00:37:11] Speaker A: Ain'T no stopping it.
[00:37:12] Speaker B: So it's. It's gonna happen, like, really, really, really, really, really, really soon.
It's gonna look like an overnight success when it does happen.
[00:37:21] Speaker A: But doesn't it always, though?
We never know the struggle. We never know. But yeah, we gonna get through it and we gonna make it. So I want you right now to look directly into that camera and say what you got to say to your future self, just like you do in your music. And then tell everybody where to find you.
[00:37:52] Speaker B: I just want to let you know I believe in you. By the time you're looking at this, you know, again, you already did it. It's already another level, you know, and. And just remember that your mind, what you think, what you speak and how you view yourself is your reality. And you. You have all the power to. To make anything inside of this, in anything inside of this terrain, to be under your control, your will and your way.
Have your standards set, your goals, which they're already set. Make them and level up. That's it.
