Episode Transcript
[00:00:03] Speaker A: Hey, everybody. Welcome back to season two of the Royalty Room podcast. We are so excited to be here. We have amazing guests lined up, amazing things in store, and we are right here at the podcast place in LBC. Shout out Long beach. And shout out Solomon. Thank you for keeping us running and bringing it back for round two. Today we have an artist who came all the way to LA from my home of Orlando.
What the heck are you doing in LA?
[00:00:38] Speaker B: We got a lot to do in LA. I'm mainly out here for the BET awards, and then I have an on the radar performance. I don't know if interview, too, but I know performance for sure. Those are, like, the two main things. And then I know I'm gonna end up doing a lot of everything else. Yeah, exactly. Anything we can do, we probably will end up doing good.
[00:00:58] Speaker A: Well, we're outside. It is summertime. It's officially, like, almost 100 degrees every day.
[00:01:04] Speaker B: We test it by our clothes, honestly.
[00:01:05] Speaker A: Right? We look like we're in the middle of the winter, but I guess we're from Florida, so it's still cold in LA for us.
[00:01:12] Speaker B: I saw, I was like, it'll be sixties and low. I was like, man, let me pack a couple.
[00:01:15] Speaker A: It's horrible. I literally. I complain about the weather every single day, and people look at me like I'm stupid. I. But I'm just like, I'm from Florida.
[00:01:22] Speaker B: Like, I love it, though. I love it.
[00:01:24] Speaker A: Definitely the cold at night.
[00:01:26] Speaker B: Yeah. Oh, yeah.
[00:01:27] Speaker A: I could deal without it. I personally believe, like, I should be in a bikini 99% of my life. So Florida is the right place.
[00:01:36] Speaker B: Absolutely. Go crazy.
[00:01:37] Speaker A: Not out here.
Rob, Lynx, first of all, you just.
[00:01:43] Speaker B: Dropped a new ephemeral, the mood swings ep. It is out everywhere. Super excited. Six songs, they need to hear that.
[00:01:51] Speaker A: Six songs that came out on May 6. And I honestly, like, I listened to it the whole way here, just ran back through it. It was a lot of mental health stuff.
[00:02:05] Speaker B: Yeah. It's very, very emotional, very honest, very raw. But I think that creates, like, an authenticity that the. The listener can relate to. And for me personally, growing up, when I was listening to artists, it was that authenticity, that feeling that you got from it that always stuck with me and showed me to my core almost, you know what I'm saying? So I think it's what the people really want, you know, to really feel that connection.
[00:02:31] Speaker A: Who influenced you like that?
[00:02:33] Speaker B: So my fate, number one, I always. Every single interview, like, if you've seen any interview for me, you probably J. Cole. He was my favorite artist growing up. He was the first one.
[00:02:42] Speaker A: We're keeping him, everybody. We're keeping him. I don't need to bring out my tattoo every episode, but it's here. Cold world.
[00:02:49] Speaker B: That's super tough. Now, that was the first artist that, like, downloading YouTube to mp3 every single song I could, learning the lyrics, like, singing along to everything, that was really, like, my first favorite artist.
[00:03:01] Speaker A: I love that. Okay, and is that, like, you were growing up? You're in broward county, florida. You're listening to J. Cole. What made you want to get in the booth yourself?
[00:03:13] Speaker B: So J. Cole, for sure. And then artists like Kodak, ski mask x were all coming up in Broward while I was growing up in Broward, so it was really cool.
And me and my friends started freestyling, like, Od, and I'm pretty. Like, I'm probably not as sick as I used to be, but we used to free, like, instead of going to parties, we'd just hop in the car, smoking freestyle for hours on end. And it turned into me writing notes out of my phone, which turned into, like, actual lyrics, kind of building up songs, and then shout out to d. Setty, a good friend of mine who's an artist. He was the first person to be like, yo, I have a show in a month. I need someone to be up there with me.
The thing you're showing me right now, hop in the booth. Record it. I'm. Hop on it. Let's do it. And that kind of, like, set it off for me right there.
[00:04:05] Speaker A: Wow. That's a good friend. He saw. He saw some.
[00:04:08] Speaker B: A very, absolutely real 1d setting, man.
[00:04:11] Speaker A: Also from Broward?
[00:04:12] Speaker B: Nah, he's from New York, actually from the Bronx.
[00:04:15] Speaker A: I feel like. I feel like since I've been in LA, I'm going on five years now. I feel like the most people that I meet and get along with are from Florida and from New York. I don't know what it is, but we're like.
[00:04:28] Speaker B: I feel like it's. I feel like that's in the whole us. I feel like that's, like, the top three. You know what I'm saying? New York, Florida, California is just such unique people and, like, crazy environments, and it just crazy people and most beautiful people.
[00:04:42] Speaker A: Okay. I like that. I like the positivity.
There are a couple of songs that I wanted to highlight, but when I was on your instagram, I saw. I saw something, and it said, good girls love material.
[00:04:56] Speaker B: Material things. Yeah.
[00:04:58] Speaker A: Is that a past song? Is that something you came up with?
[00:05:00] Speaker B: No. That is so that shout out the beat on that was what inspired that whole kind of.
You heard the album. It was very raw, very emotional, very sad. And when I heard that beat, it kind of took me out of that writing place and just put me in a really fun spot. Like, the words came to me instantly. It's actually what I plan on performing for on the radar. It's kind of the goal is to kind of push that for the back half of summer as a summer single. And I think it's just a really fun song. And, like, that first line, good girls love material things, I was like, yo, that is.
I feel like it's something girls could, like, clap a lot, sing along to, like, go crazy for.
[00:05:42] Speaker A: I'm excited that, like, literally the first thing that caught my eye outside of where, you know, your bio speaks about mental health, which I want to talk about, but that was the first thing that I was just like, oh, no.
[00:05:53] Speaker B: It'S definitely a different side of me. And I think that's what's great about being an artist, is that you don't really have to box yourself into never. It's good to, like, if it ain't broke, don't fix it, but expand upon it, too. You know what I'm saying? I'm not just a sad person all the time. I have times where I party, I have fun, and I think this song is, like, a perfect encapsulation of that. A little more why? Side of myself.
[00:06:14] Speaker A: Okay. I love that. Um, I was gonna say most people, you know, they're gearing up for releases this summer or have already released this summer, and it's always. It's summer. We outside turn up hot girl. You know, all this and all that. But it's nice to have a project because there's some sad girls this summer. Like, I was. I was this close to being one, but we ain't got time for that. It's some sad girls. Mental health is. Real life sucks a lot of the time, so it's. It's nice to have something that we can kind of, like, go to and relate to. Regardless, I don't care if it's summer. I'm still going through, like, real life.
[00:06:54] Speaker B: Absolutely. I hope the album can be, like, kind of, like a comfort zone for people.
[00:06:58] Speaker A: Exactly.
[00:06:59] Speaker B: And don't. Don't live in that comfort zone. You know what I'm saying? Obviously, I want you to play the album as much as you can, but I think it's very real, and I think that's what I love about it so much is that you're not always gonna be happy all the time. And it doesn't matter what season it is.
Life can hit you out of nowhere. And I think I'm making music for people who are kind of experiencing that.
[00:07:28] Speaker A: What is your favorite song on the project?
[00:07:30] Speaker B: So I would say it really, like, gets mixed, but I think overall, throughout, like, the whole. Since I even made the song the course of the project, I think love note is my favorite song.
A lot of people gravitate towards it. Crazy shout out to Smith beats, the producer. The second I heard the beat on that one, all the words just came flying out of me. And, yeah, that song is just. I think it's powerful to me in terms of, like, the story all throughout the flow, the cadence of it.
That's actually when I did my media run in New York, all the performances that I had, I did love note, and they were, like, a little annoyed. Not annoyed, but my manager was like, yo, like, you gotta do another song off the album.
[00:08:16] Speaker A: What you say if it's broke, don't fix it? That's the one.
[00:08:19] Speaker B: Absolutely.
[00:08:19] Speaker A: And I was gonna say, that's my favorite song, too. And I heard you talking about a crazy girl.
So is this life experience that we're speaking into the pen or what?
[00:08:31] Speaker B: Definitely. Absolutely. But I say. So the question I always get with any of my songs is, like, who is it about? Who's this girl? And honestly, I would say it's more like compilations of. I'm taking bits and pieces from different relationships and different experiences, sometimes even, like, friendships and just melding all into one kind of thing. So I would say the album isn't particularly about one girl, but just, like, bits and pieces. Yeah. Life different, like, relationships that I've gone through.
[00:09:00] Speaker A: Okay, that's nice. I just recently found out that there was a diss track about me out there.
[00:09:05] Speaker B: What? Who made it? That's crazy.
[00:09:07] Speaker A: I mean, if we're still thinking about me in 2024, just say that a.
[00:09:11] Speaker B: Guy made a diss track about you. Yes, that's correct.
[00:09:14] Speaker A: And it's crazy because I didn't even hear it. I saw the lyrics posted. I was like, wait a minute.
[00:09:20] Speaker B: Nah, that's.
[00:09:21] Speaker A: No, no, no, no.
[00:09:23] Speaker B: I wrote a diss track about a girl once, but I was 16. I had no music intentions or career at the time. I was just, like I said, I was free sound back in the day, so I, like, threatened to drop it on Soundcloud, but I never.
[00:09:34] Speaker A: It's funny, so it's funny you say that. Whenever I was in high school, in Orlando.
These two boys wrote a diss track about me, and it was like a compilation of every rumor that ever happened.
[00:09:46] Speaker B: In the entire city.
[00:09:48] Speaker A: And I got home from school that day, the day of the release on YouTube. And my dad, oh, they put on my ass and I'm just like, roped.
[00:10:01] Speaker B: And they dissed you.
[00:10:01] Speaker A: I got. Listen, I got.
I dealt with so much that day at school, and then I got home and I got my ass before getting.
[00:10:08] Speaker B: Roasted, and I was just like, parade. I would be.
[00:10:11] Speaker A: It wasn't my fault.
[00:10:12] Speaker B: Nah, that's an in shambles moment right there. That's.
[00:10:15] Speaker A: It was bad. It was bad. It's no longer around, so don't go digging it up. It doesn't exist. And me and one of the folks have reconciled, and he's one of my closest friends from all.
[00:10:26] Speaker B: Yes. Growth. We love that, you know?
[00:10:29] Speaker A: Exactly, exactly. But as far as your focus on mental health, what does that mean to you and where did it come from? What made you want to get into that?
[00:10:43] Speaker B: So I say from an early age, probably when I was 1213 years old, I had a lot of anxiety, confidence issues with myself.
I didn't love myself, and I looked at myself and I hated who I saw. That's the name of one of your songs, love myself. I was thinking. I literally thought that the second I said it. But yeah, I really. I just. I had so much anxiety, and it would cripple me all the time. And I think it's not to say it's a good thing, but I think it is a good thing to, like, go through that young because you learn how to deal with it a lot better because as you get older, like, you realize, like, that shit becomes a part of the routine. Dealing with anxiety, managing stress.
So I'm glad I got to learn how to do it at a young, early age, but it was.
I think my parents had, like, a lot of. They dealt with depression themselves. They were very depressed. They came from a. They lived in Romania growing up, and.
[00:11:44] Speaker A: Oh, wow.
[00:11:45] Speaker B: It was back when, like, communism was crazy strict. Like, everyone had, like, assigned jobs. They were waiting in, like, lines for food and stuff like that. Like, some real. They had, like, broken homes. And so I think they. And let me not, like, say anything negative about them, but I think they did kind of carry some of that stress and anxiety with them still.
And I just seen what that does to people and how it can affect people and how it can break them down.
I think it could either be your strength or your worst enemy. And so what I'm trying to do, like, especially with the album and everything, I'm trying to make it my strength. If I can be open and honest and vulnerable with the world, it's like, who could put me down outside of that? Cause I'm giving you all my flaws, all my insecurities. And so I think it's good to have those kind of confrontations with yourself, with your own mental health, because the end of it, what doesn't kill you, makes you stronger. You know what I'm saying? So it's really brick by brick, I'm. But on this wall in my mind that I can't let anything stop me and break me down, even, like, I have bad. Last night before we even flew, like, I barely slept, I had hell anxiety, but the second I walked, like, hopped in the lift on the way to the airport, I just felt calm and, like, everything I've done, like, in LA, I'm just going, I'm ready. Like, there's no time to think. It's just, I can only do.
[00:13:12] Speaker A: That is very la. That is a very la thing. There's no time to think about anything else. But that's great. I'm glad you made it here safely. I'm glad that you're here for the BET awards.
What is. So, I grew up in Orlando, but I've been in LA ever since I got into this entertainment industry and my career. What is the scene like in Orlando? I'm very interested.
[00:13:40] Speaker B: There are a lot of talented artists in Orlando. A lot of people really wouldn't guess, but I. There's so much talent brewing in Orlando. I think the reason why it's not more known or, like, as a hub of music per se, because there's a lot of.
There's not too much collaboration and collaboration with each other. People, like, kind of try to sneak this tear each other down. No one really wants to, like, work together and build something like a big collective. And I think a lot of people just don't take it too seriously, too. They're trying to. I don't like, and not to say that there's one right way, but I don't really, like, go and do shows like, in Orlando or nothing like that. I don't do anything in Orlando, honestly.
I've been traveling to Atlanta, La, Miami, New York all year, just, like, trying to get my face around all these different platforms. But I think there are some big artists that have come out of Orlando and, like, central Florida in general. I think if anything, it could be on one of them to make Orlando a music hub. If I gotta be the one to do it, eventually when shit lines up for me and I get to that spot, I gladly do it.
But yeah, I think there just needs to be like, when I go to Atlanta, for example, there's so many different events embracing you. I'm like a completely different style of music than they usually have in Atlanta. It's a lot more like trap music out there for sure. And rapid. And every time I go to an event, I do some sort of performance. It's so much love and so much just kindness, which is. It's just a beautiful thing. You could be up here, you could be down here, they'll still be in the same room, they will still shake your hand like, they will treat you like an equal, you know what I'm saying? Where? South Florida. I think it's a little, I think in Miami people are a little more like snobby even, like, even when they're not, it's the people that really aren't even there that are snobby, which is crazy to me.
[00:15:37] Speaker A: I feel like Florida, everybody's like to themselves and wants to do everything on their own. In LA, it's mostly like fake. Like, oh yeah, let's talk about it, let's do it, let's meet. No, it never happens. Never. And it's just weird fake competition. And then in Atlanta, I haven't really been there too much, but that's all I hear is it's like a very.
[00:16:06] Speaker B: Collaborative, I love Atlanta.
[00:16:08] Speaker A: Open environment.
[00:16:09] Speaker B: Awesome. It's awesome.
[00:16:11] Speaker A: Interesting. The statistics are telling me the same thing, so I might have to check it out. But as far as, like, would you envision yourself going to Atlanta permanently or going to.
[00:16:26] Speaker B: I would not mind living in Atlanta for some time. I love Florida, so I don't know that I'll ever really move out of Florida, but I wouldn't mind like spending like a month out in Atlanta. Two months out in Atlanta maybe LA. This is like my first, like, thing that I've done in LA so far. This is literally like, stop number one. So we'll see how La treats me. But I'm definitely excited to be out here. I'm excited for the food out here and everything too.
But I think Atlanta, I could definitely spend some time out there for sure.
[00:16:55] Speaker A: I don't, I definitely don't blame you. That was my other, like, thought it was either LA, DC or Atlanta. And I can't do the cold. Cold is just not an option for me. So anything north of Georgia was just out.
[00:17:07] Speaker B: Atlanta is like it's hot. And, like, being from Florida, I didn't. Like. I thought it would be colder. I remember when I went back in, I think it was October, September. I brought hoodies, jackets, like, jeans, the whole, like. Cause I'm thinking I'm gonna be cold. Oh, my God. I'm sweating every single. Like, I have vlogs up from then. You probably just see me straight sweating. And I had, like, I've been, like, taking a lot better care of myself. I was. I was, like, 30 pounds heavier back, like, when that first Atlanta trip. So I just had all this extra mass on me. Just.
[00:17:41] Speaker A: I'm lugging around, sweating, honestly, like, I'm. Listen, we'll go visit Atlanta, but if it's July or August, we might have to put on pause, like, any other time of the year. I don't even know if I can do it. They caught my dad the first time I ever went there. He calls it hot Lana. I don't know if that's a thing.
[00:17:58] Speaker B: No, I've heard hot lana. They got it in songs, too.
[00:18:01] Speaker A: Okay. Okay. You're not wrong.
But going back, I keep wanting to circle back to the project. I also heard you talk about broken child, and I feel like you touched on it a little bit, like where you said your parents came from.
First of all, you're Romanian.
[00:18:20] Speaker B: Yeah. So that's my ethnicity. I'm Romanian. Both my parents born and raised in Romania, and they fled when they were 20 years old, all across Europe. And so eventually, after, like, years of applying, my dad got into school in Canada. My mom followed shortly after, and I was born in Canada.
[00:18:38] Speaker A: Wow, that's a crazy story. I can't even imagine what it was like for them growing up in that environment at 20. You know, some people can still call that a child.
[00:18:50] Speaker B: What I say, my story starts with their story because, like, there's so much that happened before I even, like, you know what I'm saying? Got here. And it kind of. When you have immigrant parents, you kind of live differently. You know what I'm saying? You have different values, different morals and ethics. And I kind of had to teach myself, like, a lot of what's popular, like, anything pop culture, what's cool, per se, like, how I should dress. Like, I had zero help with all of that. You know what I'm saying? I adopted, I guess, my swag, my aura.
[00:19:25] Speaker A: You had to find some juice.
[00:19:26] Speaker B: Exactly. Exactly that, though. But I'm kind of grateful because I feel like I didn't say I'm genuinely, truly me. I didn't have to. I wasn't like, hey, you're gonna do this. Like, I wasn't. I was kind of like, let free in a sandbox just to do whatever.
[00:19:40] Speaker A: Well, you clearly have seemed to figure it out. You know, you're an artist. You're doing a lot of amazing things. You're performing at bet weekend, and June actually was just mental. Men's mental health.
[00:19:53] Speaker B: Yeah, men's mental health. Absolutely.
[00:19:55] Speaker A: So what do you outside of music? I know it's very therapeutic being in the booth and writing music. Music. But what do you do for yourself outside of the music scene to cater to that inner child?
[00:20:08] Speaker B: I say, I'm trying. It's more kind of filling in those blank spaces. So you don't want to just be sitting around thinking for hours on end, because that just turns into you melting into yourself. So I try to keep busy surrounding myself with people I love, even if I feel like I get moody sometimes. The album's called moose swings. Some days, I just, I don't want to talk to anyone, but I still go to my best friends. I have both my Airpods. I might not say a word to him, but we'll go get a workout and do whatever. Taking care of myself, a lot better care of myself, working out, trying to eat right, just focusing on me and taking care of me, you know what I'm saying, and doing what I got to do. I think when you have, like, a goal in mind, it can carry you so far out of that, like, deep what seems like a abyss.
It can just pull you out and kind of show you a light and be like, yo, like, work towards this, you know? I know you're upset right now. I know you're feeling down, but, like, you got something to do. You feel me? You don't got time to soak around. And so that's, that's kind of how I try to play it myself.
[00:21:17] Speaker A: Okay, and what are some of those goals over the next, like year, year, five years that you want to accomplish? Like, collaboration shows?
[00:21:26] Speaker B: Definitely collaboration. So right now, I'd say, like, the immediate goal is I'm just trying to put my face, Rob links ep mood swings on every as many platforms I can get. Put my face in as many rooms or as many events as I can, just trying to build up that kind of the brand familiarity and just open myself up to more ears further down the line.
I really want, like, a big collaboration with someone in the industry. I'm still trying to figure out who exactly I want. I have, like, a couple of ideas, but I think I really want, like, a girl feature. I think I can make. I've never done a song with a girl, and I think I can make, like, something beautiful if I have, like, the right female.
[00:22:07] Speaker A: Yeah. So, like a BB Rex or something.
[00:22:11] Speaker B: Yeah, she's fire. I fuck with her. I fuck with her for sure.
[00:22:14] Speaker A: Do people tell you that you remind them of someone in your music? Because it's been driving me insane trying to figure out.
[00:22:21] Speaker B: So the one that I always get first is post Malone. That's, like, the very first one.
[00:22:28] Speaker A: Okay.
I can see it.
[00:22:31] Speaker B: I honestly think it's. Cause, like, I'm a kind of melodic white boy that kind of, like, you know what I'm saying? Traverses between pop and I can do some kind of melodic rapid. But he's, like, damn near one of the biggest artists in the world. So, like, if I don't take that as a compliment, there's something wrong with me.
[00:22:46] Speaker A: Oh, definitely.
[00:22:46] Speaker B: That's a huge compliment. Shout out to post.
Yeah, post. I've gotten some people say kind of like, khalid a little bit, but he has, like, a much heavier boy. Yeah.
[00:22:59] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:23:02] Speaker B: When that song came out, I loved that song, that whole project.
[00:23:06] Speaker A: Drop a pin.
[00:23:07] Speaker B: Oh, my God.
[00:23:09] Speaker A: I don't know. For some reason, like, I was getting. Cause my musical background is so diverse. Like, my grandfather was in rock bands from when my mom was born all the way until. Yeah, like, he was lacing up his boots for a show whenever, rest in peace, he passed away, but, like, that was his thing. And, you know, we have a band room in the house, so it's like, oh, you thought you were sleeping when you were seven. You're not.
[00:23:34] Speaker B: Oh, that's crazy. That's crazy.
[00:23:36] Speaker A: You're with the bandaid.
And so I was thinking, like, along the lines of kind of, like, stained.
[00:23:44] Speaker B: Okay.
[00:23:45] Speaker A: Or something in that genre. Like, just, like, your vocals, they're very strong and very powerful.
[00:23:51] Speaker B: That's fine. I never heard that conversation.
[00:23:53] Speaker A: It makes you want to listen.
[00:23:55] Speaker B: Oh, yeah.
[00:23:56] Speaker A: And speaking of, I feel like I've touched on all of the songs but happier with you.
Can you talk to me about that? Because I just had a revelation yesterday that I would rather ignore everything going on in my life to take care of what other people need. And my escape from my own life is doing things for other people and making myself.
[00:24:21] Speaker B: I definitely. That's something I definitely relate to extremely.
I'm big on, and, like I say, I try to take care of myself, focus on myself, but I just. I got such a big heart. I love people I love making people happy. I love making people laugh. I love helping people. So I think happier with you specifically is more kind of a.
And it doesn't even. It's definitely more about a relationship, but I think you can listen to it from a perspective where it doesn't even have to be about a relationship. Just people like that make you happy.
And then further. Sorry, I feel like I'm going all over the place. But it's your show.
That song in particular, I feel like is.
It's kind of about having that one person that even if everyone else doesn't think it's for you guys, it's like, how can you tell us what is for us? You know what I'm saying? And it's one of the lines I have is, like, your friends, they don't love me. They let it bend the truth.
Definitely had some situations where.
And I think it goes both ways. Cause I think I've had, like, my friends not be in love with who I'm in love with, and then vice versa. The girls friends, like, not really a fan of me.
[00:25:44] Speaker A: What'd you do to that girl? No, I'm just kidding. I'm just kidding.
[00:25:48] Speaker B: We need a whole nother episode for that one.
[00:25:49] Speaker A: Okay, we'll have a part two.
So. Hmm.
I feel like. Damn bb Rexa, stained post Malone, like Romania. I honestly, I thought that I was coming to sit down with a latino artist.
[00:26:10] Speaker B: Oh, that's.
[00:26:10] Speaker A: Do you get that all the time?
[00:26:11] Speaker B: I get that pretty decently. A lot of people think I'm either, like, Puerto rican or cuban.
It's funny, I would have guessed Puerto Rico. I used to have, like, a. I used to be pretty tan, too. And so I wouldn't say I'm pale, but I used to be, like, really tan to, like, the point where my friends moms, when I first meet them, will, like, introduce themselves in Spanish and, like, especially living in sports, automatic.
And I'd be like, no la espenora, senora, or whatever. And they'd be like, oh, but you stayed with the accent. And I'm like, nah, a little bit.
[00:26:40] Speaker A: I'm not gonna lie. You sound. You sound just spanish. Like, I do.
[00:26:43] Speaker B: I love the culture and the gross and the food. So it's.
[00:26:45] Speaker A: I mean, I can't say that you're wrong on that one, but. Okay, I was going to ask you, like, what do you think is missing? This is the last question, and I'll let you take it wherever. What do you think is missing? In between the music industry and the mental health of America, like, is this, do we need to change it? Do we need to fix it?
I feel like we're getting a lot of negativity from music lately, so I.
[00:27:19] Speaker B: Feel like it's definitely, that's a great question. I feel like.
I definitely want to shout out, there are some major artists who definitely are, like, contributing towards that mental health aspect. Like the, Louis Capaldi's obviously, like, jake J. Cole.
Even, like, drake really touches, like, a lot on, like, even though he's kind of, you know, you kind of look at me like, crazy when I said that.
[00:27:47] Speaker A: Well, you said J. Cole and then you said Drake. I was waiting for the big three to drop.
[00:27:52] Speaker B: Yeah, yeah, but don't kill me.
[00:27:54] Speaker A: I love the west coast. I love the west coast.
[00:27:56] Speaker B: But I think it's what I really think it is. I think a lot of major, major, major labels are kind of more focused on, like, hits and, like, that shock factor, and that's why everyone's trying to get these days. It's a lot less, I feel like genuine, authentic music that's out.
But there's also some people just don't like that style of music. I know some people who they don't like. They give me kudos. Like, I'm a child to artists, but they would never listen to my kind of music just because it's like, when you listen to sad music, you're gonna feel sad, you know, saying, you're gonna, like, you're gonna catch that emotion. And some people, like, aren't in touch with their emotions enough. I feel like, to even want to listen to some they'd rather like, and not to diss because I love trapping rap artists and stuff like that, but, like, they'd rather, like, turn up, you know, I'm saying, like, be outside shaking ass or fucking talking about slide on this block with whatever, you know, saying. But that it's valid, too. And I don't think there's, like, you can't look at it like, oh, well, that's right and that's wrong. It just kind of is, you know what I'm saying? Everyone's so different and unique, and I think that's the beautiful thing about music, is it's what you make it and it's what you take out of it. So what music is for me might not be what it is for you or for Solomon or anyone watching this right now. You know what I'm saying? So that's what I love about music.
[00:29:20] Speaker A: Okay. That was not a bad answer. That was not a bad answer.
[00:29:24] Speaker B: It was a great question. I was just trying to navigate music.
[00:29:27] Speaker A: Is what you make it to yourself.
I want to, first of all, thank you for flying all the way Orlando, to be here. I'm super excited to hear what's going on with your show on the radar. By the time you guys see this, the show will already be up. So I'll make sure to put all of the links to Rob Lynx in the bio. Make sure you follow him. What is your social media platform so on?
[00:29:58] Speaker B: I think it's. I'm pretty sure it's the same for TikTok and Instagram. It's Roblinx. R o b l I n x x. So two x's at the end. Even if that's just the instagram. I have a link tree in my instagram for everything else, so.
[00:30:11] Speaker A: Period. If you don't have a link tree and you're an artist, get it together.
It's basically your EPK.
[00:30:17] Speaker B: There's so many different. Oh, yeah. I never thought about it like that, but it really is. But, yeah, there's so many like, who be like, there's so many different ones. Just. Just pick one and put it in your bio.
[00:30:27] Speaker A: But we gonna find you. Rob Lynx on all platforms. Mood swing ep is out on all platforms.
Where can we. When can we expect some. Some dope visuals?
[00:30:41] Speaker B: I think this summer, we're definitely gonna.
Before the summer's over, we're definitely gonna lock in on one of the songs off the album to push him, do a music video behind, and then we have a video already shot that is probably going to come out around, like, late fall just because that's more like, it more feels like a late fall kind of song, but soon. Soon for sure.
[00:31:05] Speaker A: All right, well, we are staying tuned. We're ready for all that you have to offer. Please, please, please don't ever stop bringing your positivity and your message.
Sometimes we are sad, and sometimes we need to tap into that. We need to stop avoiding our feelings and suppressing our emotions. And I think music is a really great place to dig deeper, because once you hear that song or once you hear those words, it could trigger something like, oh, I never thought about that. So thank you for being here, and thank you for the music that you're putting out.
[00:31:39] Speaker B: Thank you for having me.
[00:31:40] Speaker A: Absolutely. Thank you guys, also for watching the royalty Room podcast. You know where to find me. You know where to find the pod. It's at Legalqueen LA on all social media platforms, and this summer is heating up for sure. So see you next time.
