Episode Transcript
[00:00:12] Speaker A: Come on.
[00:00:15] Speaker B: This is Outside the Round with Matt Burrill for Rage Rowdy Podcast.
[00:00:20] Speaker C: What's going on, everybody? Welcome back to another episode of Outside the Round. As you can hear, I got my festival voice because we've been running and. And I got one of my favorite dudes in town. I met him at a house party where he was there with my boy Timmy McKeever. Had to be coming up on a year ago, maybe somewhere. I think it was last fall, bro. We got my boy Big Mo.
[00:00:42] Speaker B: The biggest man, the biggest brother.
[00:00:44] Speaker C: How you been?
[00:00:45] Speaker B: I've been amazing, bro. I mean, chilling, living it. You know what I mean? Just kicking it, trying to do my best, bro. How you been, though?
[00:00:51] Speaker C: I've been good, dude. It's just been a lot of running with festivals and we got to. We got to hang. You didn't play tailgate and tall boys, but you gave it hell. You were up there all week.
[00:01:00] Speaker B: Yeah, that was one of the funnest events I've ever been to, bro. We just went at it four days in a row. Back to back to back, bro. Shout out to tailgate, boys. That's just fun as hell.
[00:01:10] Speaker C: Yeah, man, it was. That was a wild time. And that seems like forever ago, but that was only two months ago. Like, that's how busy the summer's been. So you've been. You've been out on the road and crushing it, doing shows and.
So what has the past month kind of been like for you?
[00:01:25] Speaker B: I mean, we've been really focusing on like the truck shows, the. Like the. Yeah, the. Like the. You know what I mean, the rowdy shit, the having fun shit, the going out instead of doing like just concerts, I'm going out there, hanging out with the fans and doing stuff. Like this last one we had was in Seneca, South Carolina.
[00:01:40] Speaker C: Oh, okay.
[00:01:41] Speaker B: It was right there outside of Clemson. And we.
We had buddies from TG Customs out in South Carolina. They rented out this huge facility and. And it was just like almost like a farm and a warehouse kind of thing. But they were big as hell. Like big enough for like the thousand. Two thousand people to film.
[00:01:58] Speaker A: Wow.
[00:01:59] Speaker B: So we had a flyer made probably three or four months ago, and we just. You know what I mean? We thought it was gonna be a good idea. Ended up being a great idea. There was a fuck ton of people showed up. Everybody showed out. They told me I didn't have to show up till 2 o'.
[00:02:11] Speaker A: Clock.
[00:02:12] Speaker B: I was there at 8am fucking partying. We started drinking at like 9am, went out riding around. I'm on the golf cart. Acting a for it.
[00:02:19] Speaker C: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
[00:02:21] Speaker B: That shit's fun, bro. I mean, we do that. And then I got one in. I got one coming up, I think in Louisiana. That's. That I'm announcing.
[00:02:28] Speaker C: Nice.
[00:02:29] Speaker B: That's gonna be sick. That one's gonna be a lot bigger, though.
[00:02:31] Speaker C: That's cool, dude. And I feel like something that you do so well is you've lived all up and down the east coast, like we were chatting about. You're a young. You're a young guy, and you've gotten to get a lot of experience in college towns, but you mix in Southern lifestyle and what it's like to have been originally from the south into hip hop and rap as well as anyone is doing in.
[00:02:51] Speaker B: I appreciate that. I appreciate that. I think for me, the route I took wasn't, hey, I'm gonna make music purposely for this genre specifically. It was just like, I'm just at home writing a song, and I'm not even writing a song. I'm listening to beats and I'm just freezing on the tv, like, on the TV speakers, just going back at it with my buddies. And I mean, the shit we rapped about compared to, like, I guess a normal rapper, it just was different. So I guess from the beginning. From the first. From the first one, I dropped boots a while ago, it was different. Had a Nancy Sinatra sample.
[00:03:24] Speaker C: Yeah.
[00:03:24] Speaker B: And it was a flip. Immediately flipped that. And then Gwen Stefani was a flip. And I just. I enjoy flipping music and being able to correlate the. The original song into my lyrics, you know, So I was able to do that with a bunch of country songs and. And the stuff I'm rapping about is what I'm doing back home. So it also happens to be, you know what I mean, in the genre and subtle to the genre.
[00:03:44] Speaker C: Yeah, dude. And I think such an important part of life, but particularly music, is being a good hang and finding guys and girls that. That you like to kick it with and that more importantly, like, kicking it with you. And I think that's been a huge part of your story to having these massive features so early in your career, like Sam Canty and the Treaty Oak Boys, Dylan Marlo, Kid G, Timmy McIver, Lade. I mean, bro, you got so many of them out there. Just what's it like kind of being everybody's little bro?
Because you are. You're younger than all these guys, but I know you're Big Mo, but you're like. You're like the. You're like the Little brother to all these. All these cats, man, that are big in the country and rock space.
[00:04:26] Speaker B: Yeah. Honestly, it's the most. It's. For me, it's the best experience I've ever had in my life. You know, I mean, it's the first time I've. I'm the oldest in my family, so.
[00:04:33] Speaker C: Oh, so you're used to being the big brother.
[00:04:35] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:04:36] Speaker B: So it's the first time being able to come around people and learn and not having to get chewed out for learning and being okay with learning and having to. You know what I mean? Like, there's so much, even from my attitude all the way to my stage presence, you know what I mean? I'm learning from these guys. And really, I appreciate every last one of them. Cause every single guy that I make a song with or every single artist that I'm hanging out with, it's all off an organic base. Like, it's like I met this nigga somewhere and we just started hanging out.
[00:05:02] Speaker C: So let's start with Dylan Marlowe. You're a Georgia guy. He's a Georgia guy. How'd you two get linked?
[00:05:07] Speaker B: So I have a buddy named Jackson who works with Dylan and a couple other buddies who are always friends with Dylan. I got a buddy named Screech, and I've always.
[00:05:14] Speaker C: Oh, dude, I love Screech. I love Screech. Shout out. Tyler Collins. My man Screech. You know, his dad was like a sheriff in Statesboro or something.
[00:05:22] Speaker B: Really?
[00:05:22] Speaker C: Yeah, yeah, he is around. They're OG Statesboro.
[00:05:25] Speaker B: Yeah, yeah. But really, it was like meeting everyone around him and them giving me the word, oh, let's do the song with this. Do the song with this. You know what I mean? And it was. I've always. I've always loved his music. You know, it's always. He's hard. You know what I mean? He knows what the fuck he's doing. But it was something that I feel like was bound to happen regardless, because everyone in our group, like, we all get along so well. Our, like, both of our kind of groups, because we hang out, do the same kind of stuff that I feel like it was gonna click eventually. And it eventually clicked. The song's a banger. It's called Settle Me Down.
[00:05:59] Speaker C: Yeah, bro. And what I love, too, is that you have a guy like Dylan Marlowe, who is.
[00:06:03] Speaker B: He's such a good guy, bro.
[00:06:04] Speaker C: And he's also. He's married with two. Like, he is settled down, and he's the. And it's like, for him to be on A track where the premise is like, that you're your. Your flow. And his voice on the hook and on the chorus just goes so well together, man. Like, sonically, it's a smash. And then one that. I'll be honest, it took me a second because it is sonically different hearing Sam's voice on a. On a hip hop song, man. Like Solitary Bro, Solitary Sunrise is like. It's so sonically different, like to hear Sam's voice on a hook with the. With your flow and what you're doing on there, man. But it seems like that song's been a game changer for you, man.
[00:06:48] Speaker B: Absolutely.
[00:06:49] Speaker C: I know. You know, I know you've known Sam and those guys for a minute too, right?
[00:06:52] Speaker B: So Sam and them, I'm. I started. They reached or I reached out. I can't even remember, like, who reached out to what. I think I made a tick tock and it was their sound or something. And he ended up reaching out. He's like, hey, man, whatever. Or we love. He commented or something. Yeah, we love to do a song. Hit him up. And eventually it didn't even turn into me doing a song with him because we clicked so well. And that's. That's one thing about me is like the music could come, but the relationship matters more to have a better chemistry. So, like, for a year and a half, I've just been hanging out with them on the road when I'm doing whatever. Like, we're just hanging. We're always. Every time around, we're having an amazing time. So it wasn't really like we had. And they were always busy, I was always busy. The song couldn't come apart. But then eventually, like out of nowhere, we just. You know what I mean? We had the time for it, we did it. And it's. I mean, that song, for me, it was one song that I've always wanted to do. Like, when you think. When I thought of country rap, I've always thought of me and them. Like, I've always wanted a song.
[00:07:45] Speaker C: Like, you're like, man, somebody's got to do it. Why? Why can't it be me?
[00:07:48] Speaker B: Yeah, I've loved their music. Love that. Like, I don't know, I just. I felt like that's what I needed to do.
But in that journey of me listening to them, me. Because all I. On the countryside thing, I love them. You know, before, even before they knew I was. I was listening to them all the time.
So eventually it was just like, damn, this is real life. Like, this shit's really Happening. Like, it's not like I just went out like, this is my dog. Like, bro, me and him are Snapchat,
[00:08:13] Speaker C: you know what I mean?
[00:08:15] Speaker B: And then it just turned into like, bro, he's like my brother. You know what I mean? If I need advice when I'm on the bus, I'm talking to him. If he shows me around, you know what I mean? The first stadium, the first arenas I've seen and go on stage is cause of them, you know what I mean? So it's like. It's a different factor of appreciation.
[00:08:29] Speaker C: At what point in the show were they bringing you on stage? Oh, you were going out during Boomtown.
[00:08:34] Speaker B: I'm in the middle shower.
[00:08:36] Speaker C: Your shotgunning and doing the beer shower videos are hilarious. What was the first show you did with, like, where they brought you out? Do you remember? I figured it was somewhere in the southeast, right?
[00:08:46] Speaker B: South Haven, Mississippi. Oh, wait, was that the first one? Yeah, it was the first one. South Haven, Mississippi, last year. That was like May of last year. And it was one of the rowdiest concerts I like.
[00:08:55] Speaker C: Mississippi gets down.
[00:08:57] Speaker B: Oh, my God.
[00:08:57] Speaker C: Mississippi really gets down.
[00:09:00] Speaker B: What, them do not play, though?
[00:09:02] Speaker C: No, they get wild, man. I remember going down there when I was touring with Muscadine and with Trey Lewis, and I would, without fail, I'd see something wild going on out there. So I can only imagine Treatio can be an out there.
[00:09:12] Speaker B: I mean, when I was on stage, it felt like they was running at me.
[00:09:16] Speaker C: Yeah.
[00:09:16] Speaker B: That's how wild Mississippi is. Like, it was the craziest thing. Like, I'm like a normal concert I've been to before. That would probably be like a. Like a Nashville concert or something, because before I was making music. I've never been to a concert.
[00:09:27] Speaker A: Really?
[00:09:28] Speaker B: Never, ever in my life. I never bought a ticket to a concert, never went to a concert. Never even, like a park concert.
[00:09:33] Speaker C: Nothing like that, really.
[00:09:34] Speaker B: Never been behind a mic, Never.
[00:09:35] Speaker C: Why. Why do you think that was? Was it just the. The way. The way you grew up and the opportunity?
[00:09:41] Speaker B: I mean, that was part of it, but my family really wasn't tapped into the concerts, and so, like, I just didn't really. Don't really do that. So I was just like. I don't know, like, when I found the concert world, it was just a whole nother. Yeah, it's like taking a jet to a whole nother country.
[00:09:53] Speaker C: It's like you. The. The moment when you feel the crowd all in unison singing the same thing. There's no feeling like that.
[00:10:01] Speaker B: Yeah. And then when they stop singing when they stop in the mic and they're all singing. Oh, my God, bro. The first time that happened to me was just like.
It didn't even. It wasn't really a full effect because I know obviously he's gonna get bigger and bigger. But at the truck show, it was really cool. Like, when I stopped singing and everybody was singing, that was really.
[00:10:19] Speaker C: What song was it? It wasn't for.
[00:10:20] Speaker B: It was. It was for the last three, which.
[00:10:23] Speaker C: What do you close your set out with? Because I haven't gotten to see a Big Mo set yet. I know a lot of folks chomping at the bit.
[00:10:28] Speaker B: We used to close it out with Country Vision. I do. And I do. Like, I'd play the actual Gwen Stefani song.
[00:10:33] Speaker C: Yep.
[00:10:33] Speaker B: And we just dance with the crowd for like a minute.
[00:10:35] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:10:35] Speaker B: Then we'd switch it.
[00:10:36] Speaker C: Just get everybody hype.
[00:10:37] Speaker B: Yeah, we get everybody. We switch and then everybody would sing it. But now we ended off with the. With the treaty one.
[00:10:43] Speaker C: Nice.
[00:10:43] Speaker B: Yeah, it's so fun. People love that one.
[00:10:45] Speaker C: So I want to talk about your upbringing. You said you've kind of lived all around the east coast and you've been through some stuff in your. Your young time on this earth, so where were you born at? And kind of talk about your upbringing and the different places that you've lived.
[00:10:59] Speaker B: I've lived all. I mean, I've lived anywhere from New York. I lived in New York for, like, a little bit for like a year. And then I lived in, I believe. But I was most of my life in Georgia. I spent most of my life in Augusta, Georgia. Spent a lot of time on the lake, a lot of time on the water, a lot of time hanging out with friends. But, I mean, I strayed away from my family and, like, everything. We had our own issues, and I strayed away at really young, like 14, 15.
[00:11:24] Speaker C: Oh, really?
[00:11:25] Speaker B: Yeah. So from like, 15 to 18, I was like, mostly all along. So I'd hang out with a lot of the older crowd and. And I had to adapt to that older lifestyle. Like 15 years old. And I ended up getting out of school. Didn't really. I don't know, I'd like. It was at the point where I just felt like I couldn't find anything. And so I took party route. Was going downhill, you know. I mean, there wasn't really anything going.
But, I mean, I was always around people who. You know, I mean, like, it wasn't. Like, the people around me were bad people. Like, it was great people, great times, and it was just I was just, unfortunately not putting in enough work, I guess. And I also didn't.
I was making music, but I wasn't making music.
[00:12:05] Speaker C: You weren't all the way in?
[00:12:06] Speaker B: Not even close. You know, I mean, like, I'd make a song for fun on Band Lab and never show anyone, you know? Like, it wasn't like, I'm making music like I'm trying to drop a song or I'm trying to do that. But eventually, I mean, God called and, like, he. You know what I'm saying? He's answered. He answered everything I asked for. And when I got. I went to county jail for missing court, and I went there for. Stayed there for three to four months, and it was all for a FTA on a small. Like a disorderly conduct charge. But in the state of Georgia and Augusta, if you miss court, you can't. You know, it's a fta. You have to wait on your court date. So I get out, drop a song the same week I get out. And I kid you not, I had maybe like 700 monthly listeners after I dropped the song.
I wake up the songs that like. Or I'm at like, 2,000 monthly listeners, and my emails, DMs are all flooded with, like, deals or whatever. And I just. I didn't know what to do. You know what I mean? I called my buddy, and obviously he said the same old bullshit. Everybody saying, oh, trust your gut. Trust this. Like, you can't trust your gut if you don't know shit, you know? Yeah, what the hell? I'm reading four pages of bullshit. You want me to trust my gut? My gut's telling me to put the paper down.
[00:13:18] Speaker C: But
[00:13:21] Speaker B: eventually, I mean, I met. I met a group of guys in Columbia, South Carolina, that I was staying with at the time. And before I got the big money, like, the money at the time. And I don't know, it was just like. The song popped off like crazy.
[00:13:35] Speaker C: Which song Was that? Boots.
[00:13:37] Speaker B: 1.2 million views on TikTok a week after I got out of jail. Yeah, like, I mean, and I was. I was. I was alone. No. Didn't know what the hell to do for the last three years. So I didn't know what the fuck was going on. Like, what the hell.
[00:13:49] Speaker C: Yeah.
[00:13:50] Speaker B: So the song, it goes up. It goes up, it goes up. I signed. I signed up management with my buddy lj, who I'm signed to now.
[00:13:56] Speaker C: Yep.
[00:13:57] Speaker B: And, I mean, he had me at 1200 monthly listeners. Now we're at like 800,000.
[00:14:00] Speaker C: Yeah, dude, your numbers are just Rising and rising and rising.
[00:14:04] Speaker B: I gotta. I gotta give. I gotta give my boy LJ credit, and I gotta give a lot of other people who are on my team right now the credit. Because, I mean, you know what I'm saying? You can't move on without those guys.
[00:14:14] Speaker C: Yeah, dude. And it's like, for you to go from being on your own to having a support system and a team around you, and now having homies here in Nashville. Like, talk about the journey of getting you here.
[00:14:27] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:14:27] Speaker C: I mean, getting you to be a Nashville president, bro.
[00:14:30] Speaker B: Yeah, bro. I mean. And God, bro.
Shout out to God. You know what I mean? Thank God for everything I have, bro. But the Nashville journey itself, I think, is probably as crazy as my whole life, you know what I mean? Because I went from just coming and visiting, saying I'd never move here, you know what I'm saying?
[00:14:48] Speaker C: Because when you and I met, I think that was at Eli Winders, Max Martin, like, all those guys. It was them signing their publishing deal that big, Loud. And Timmy. And Timmy was. You and Timmy showed up at the
[00:14:57] Speaker B: house that night, too?
[00:14:58] Speaker A: Yep.
[00:14:58] Speaker C: Vincent Mason was there.
[00:14:59] Speaker B: Yeah, but we were.
[00:15:01] Speaker C: Were you living here at that time?
[00:15:03] Speaker B: I wasn't.
[00:15:03] Speaker C: Oh, you were just up here on a visit?
[00:15:05] Speaker B: Kicking it, bro. Literally. But I was in. They tried to, like, my team wanted me to. Wanted me to find a city that I can base out of or. Because I'm from. I mean, there's no studios where I'm from. Like, there's stop signs and traffic lights and shit, but there's not. There's no studios or anything. So they come out here to, like, go to Atlanta.
Atlanta. I just was not my cup of tea. Like, there's nothing. There's like. Atlanta's cool, but I just can't live there, you know? I mean, I can't. It's too much nightlife, too much. There's not. The music's cool, but it's not like Nashville when it comes to music. Oh, my God, this is the shit.
[00:15:37] Speaker C: It's everywhere.
[00:15:38] Speaker B: It's the shit, bro. So I come here on a visit, and I'm at the hotel. The hotel I'm staying at in Nashville had a fucking studio in the basement. I called my manager. I was like, yo, I'm never fucking leaving. I was like, bro, this is exactly what we need. I wake up, go downstairs, I'm recording, go back up, go to sleep, wake back up, go back. Like, I was doing that for two weeks, and then they had me in hotels outside of the city of Nashville. I Just wanted to be in Nashville. They put me in hotels outside and I come in and as well, if they were music. I hang out with everyone. The people that I was writing with, the smaller sessions that I had a while ago, I'd hang out with those guys and network through those guys. Yeah, and those guys. I'd go out with them and meet bigger guys. And it always. I mean, the journey in Nashville never ends. Like, you think you meet someone big, and then you meet someone that's 10 times bigger, and then you meet someone that owns whatever that guy has going on.
[00:16:26] Speaker C: My favorite thing is you meet other guys that move here around the same time as you, and then you guys grow together. Yeah, that's my favorite part, I think.
[00:16:35] Speaker B: So around the time of when I moved here, I'd say it was.
I'd say November. Maybe like October. November and October. In October, we probably. I was just chilling. I was hanging out with Timmy McKeever, like you said. Yeah, that was just my crowd. And I mean, I love them boys. To this day, we just. Me and Timmy just played golf like the other day.
[00:16:54] Speaker C: Yeah.
[00:16:54] Speaker B: But when I found them, those were like. I've never in my life had, like, a bunch of people around me that all wanted to do the same shit. Like, all of us want to get up and grit, you know what I mean? Like, Timmy wants to get up and write. This guy wants to get up and play a show. Like, everyone wants to do something here. And I'm like, dude, I mean, how the fuck can you be lazy around a bunch of people who aren't lazy,
[00:17:15] Speaker C: you know what I mean?
[00:17:16] Speaker B: You can easily be lazy around a bunch of niggas sitting down. There's nobody sitting down in this fucking city.
[00:17:21] Speaker C: Everybody's moving, bro.
[00:17:22] Speaker B: Everyone's running.
And that's the best part about it. It turns it. It's not a. It's not a competition because y' all can run together. Like, I mean, for me and Timmy, we are in two different spaces of music, and we made a song together, you know what I mean? We're in two different aisles. We're in two different. And we made a relationship that now me and Timmy have, like, probably seven or eight songs right now, and they're all hits because we both love music. We both love to experiment, you know what I mean? And that was the crowd I was surrounded by. And that's the crowd I'm still surrounded by. And it's the biggest reason on why I moved here. And there's no other place I like when I'm If I want to buy a house, I'm buying here. Yeah, there's a bunch of good guys, a bunch of good music. So.
[00:18:02] Speaker C: Yeah, man. And you talk about guys stepping out of their comfort zone musically, and you and Timmy, sonically couldn't be any more different. You know, you're. You're. You're a rapper that talks about country. And I mean, I don't know. Do you go by the title of being a country rapper?
[00:18:16] Speaker B: I think no, because, like, I mean, it's a cool title. Yeah. But, like, when I started making music again, it wasn't for a specific job. I just made music. And I happen to be both things. You know what I mean? So it's a cool title. It's a true title. But I mean, I just feel like I'm artist just like any other artist.
[00:18:31] Speaker C: Yeah. And then Timmy's more in that mainstream pop country lane, and you guys can cross over. I feel like there's no better time for a guy like you to be coming up than right now, because the sandbox is so vast on what you can create, and you can literally do whatever the fuck you want to do. Dude, seriously, it wasn't like that 10, 15 years ago. Yeah, I mean, like, now's the golden era. You can do whatever you want.
[00:18:54] Speaker B: Yeah, 100%. I mean, the timeline right now for me is beautiful. And I mean, I'm more than thankful to be alive nowadays, but it's. I think it's more fun than anything, you know, Like, I'm. When I'm in the studio, I'm having a blast. Like, if you see videos of me in the studio, I'm bullshitting the whole time. I'm. I'm making music.
That's all. That's all, you know, that's all I care about at the end of the day. And so now that I got the opportunity to do it in a city like this. Never gonna leave.
[00:19:19] Speaker C: Yeah, sky's the limit, bro. Now, how selective now what is kind of your process of. Because I haven't had many Rapp show.
I've had some folks on here. But as far as like, the creative process as a rapper, you talk about, like, you kind of flip songs on their head. Like you talk about the. The Gwen Stefani song, the old. The old.
The old Sinatra, the boots. Like, there's a lot of ways that you can do it, but what's kind of the. The process been like for you and how's it evolved in.
Because it's. The beat is so important, but at the same time, your Lyrics and your flow are just as important. So how do you kind of balance that? And where do you kind of start with creating a big.
[00:19:58] Speaker B: I feel like a year ago that process was completely different than today's process, because a year ago's process, it was, okay, here we got 55 beats. You listen to all of them, tell me what you like. Which was cool. I mean, it was. The beats were sick, but it was just like, you can't really make a good. Like you can't make. For me. Yeah, you can make a good song. You can make a viral song. But until I came out here and I found a team of guys that I work with every single time I'm in the studio now, then it was. It didn't feel right. So at first, for example, my Atlanta says country bitch. I was in the kitchen, 3am drinking, and I'm looking at this gun and we're looking at. I don't know if it was the actual Gwen Stefani song itself or he already had the beat. It was one of those two. And I was like, bro, this is sick. And this was when the boot, when the Nancy Sinatra shit came out. I didn't even. It wasn't a perp. Like, it wasn't like, oh, I'm gonna do a Nancy. So not. It was just, damn, this or this hard. And so when I heard Boo to walk and I'm a rap, the first line is going to be about that. When I did the country, I don't know if it was.
I don't know what she said. She said something in the. In the hook or whatever, and I just correlated it on to my first four bars, you know what I mean? So I did that with a lot of songs and. And I feel like it's a. It's a good way to understand the rap and the actual sample itself. Like, it's a. When I. When you're rapping about something that has nothing to do with the sample, it's like, what are we talking about? Yeah, for me, it's gotta connect, which is just. Which completely is opinion based, because a lot of people like that. But like, for me, it has to connect. Like, when I was making songs, it didn't feel right. Then I moved out here and I found the process of being able to create a beat and create a sample and sit there with 20 other people if I wanted to. But what I do now is I have maybe one other guy in the room with me. Me, the engineer, one other guy. We'll listen to a bunch of samples on My phone.
Like, huge samples. Huge. And if I like guitar riff, if I like even one of these, if I like anything, if I like. I'm a add it on and create a beat from scratch. I just take the. I like listening to all, like, the little ear candies they got in songs. I love hearing that. I love guitar. So, like, we'll use guitar riffs, we'll take references from other songs, and then we'll correlate the. Like, if I ever take a reference from a song, I'll correlate that song into.
So now, like, I got a song coming out.
I don't even know if I should say this, but it. I got a song coming out with nappy roots, and it's. It's an all nah remix. It's a all nah. Hell nah, boy. You know?
[00:22:27] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:22:28] Speaker B: Yeah. So I got on. It's my song now, and they're gonna be out of the feature. And it's a sick song. But that came about, you know what I mean? That one. That one's a. It's a sample. It's a remix. That's how it started.
[00:22:39] Speaker C: Yeah.
[00:22:41] Speaker B: Then I hit them up, and that was the actual song. So it's like.
You never know. Like, a sample could sometimes be something that turns into a collab.
[00:22:50] Speaker C: Yeah.
[00:22:50] Speaker B: Which is what it's been for me half the time. You know what I mean? But nowadays, we make everything from scratch. Hang out in the studio, smoke a joint, smoke two, smoke three.
[00:23:00] Speaker C: I gotta ask you about one of my favorite titles that you've released, McFlurry.
Where's that one coming from?
[00:23:07] Speaker B: I have no clue.
[00:23:08] Speaker C: I was in there. Like, where's. Where do you are? Just like, okay, this one I'm gonna talk about. I'm gonna tie McFlurry.
[00:23:13] Speaker B: I was in Miami with that one, and I were in Miami. Yeah, I was in Miami. I was recording. I have. I had a camp there for a month, and I'm with, like, six other guys, and we're all just eating McDonald's. Eating. I had like. There was like four or five McFlurries in there for some reason, and they were melting. Like, they were. It was like, pissing me off.
And I'm like.
[00:23:32] Speaker C: I'm like, why the.
[00:23:33] Speaker B: Like, I didn't even. No one was eating them. They were just sitting there. And. Yeah, he's playing this beat, and I'm just so mad about this fucking McFlurry. And I'm looking at this nigga and I'm like, are they gonna. And it's like, Hot as fuck in the studio. So they're melting. They're. They're coming down on the table sticky as shit. I'm like, bro, just play the fucking beat, bro. And I just turned into that. Like, it wasn't. I don't know. It wasn't something like I wrote before walked in. It was just on the moment.
[00:23:56] Speaker C: So it can just happen with whatever's going on in the room.
[00:23:58] Speaker B: Yeah. Every single song that I've done has happened. Besides, like, the ones that are like, the collabs, every single song that I'm dropping by myself happens in the room or like, somebody says some bullshit, and I just. I run with it.
[00:24:08] Speaker C: And you just tie it in.
[00:24:09] Speaker B: Yeah, I run with it.
[00:24:10] Speaker C: Now, who were some of the rappers you grew up kind of idolizing or where you think you got your flow from?
[00:24:16] Speaker B: I don't really know where I got my vote from, but I love Juice World. I fucking like, bro. I was listening from 14 through high school, middle school.
I just love Juice World for some reason. And then nowadays, I know why I love him. But back then, I just always loved.
[00:24:32] Speaker C: Why do you think that is? Nowadays?
[00:24:33] Speaker B: He was such a lyricist. He was. He could freestyle for hours. Yeah, that's one thing I love doing freestyle and having fun with all my buddies. He could do it for hours, bro. And. And he was just such a crazy artist. He took the right routes. I mean, the camera work he was doing, the videos he had, the stories he was selling. Like, that shit's really respectable.
[00:24:51] Speaker C: And I feel like, emotionally he touched a place for a lot of people.
[00:24:55] Speaker B: I listened to a lot of Big Scar, if you know what that is.
[00:24:57] Speaker C: Okay. No, I'm not familiar with Big Scar.
[00:24:59] Speaker B: He's from Memphis. He's. He signed up. He was signed that he passed away, but he signed Gucci Mane 1017. He's with, like, Pooh Shy's team. Yeah, Foogiano. He's with all those guys. I listen to a lot of Poo Icy. I listen.
The crazy thing is I was listening to, like, nowadays or like, the last two, three years. I didn't really listen to Big X, but 2020, I was listening to this song called Mr. Trouble by the X a lot.
[00:25:23] Speaker C: Yep.
[00:25:23] Speaker B: Like, I was. I was. I was banging out. I love that song.
[00:25:26] Speaker C: And I think that I can see the. The thing in there. And it's funny, you read. You bring up Memphis because Memphis has a swagger in the scene that's come out of the. Going all the way back to 3 6, where it's like, there's moments where the tempo picks up, but a lot of it's a little bit on the slower.
[00:25:42] Speaker A: Yeah, yeah.
[00:25:42] Speaker B: Like 128BPM.
[00:25:44] Speaker C: Yep. Yeah. And you look at. And you look at the. Like, the stuff that's come out of Houston. Like, when you think of, like, rap out of the south, it has a different flavor to it than what you got on the west coast or what you got on the far east coast or even Detroit.
[00:25:56] Speaker B: Yeah, 100%. I think that's crazy. Cause, like, Memphis and Texas do have, like, kind of, like the same BPM kind of, like, thing going on. And that's all the music I listen to. It's like, Memphis. I love Memphis.
[00:26:09] Speaker C: Like, UGK from down in Houston, Paul
[00:26:12] Speaker B: Wall and shit like that, I listen to in Memphis. I listen to anywhere from D, Moolah, Kokash, Moneybag, Poosh, Ice T, Big Scar, Big Unk. I listen to. I listen to a lot of.
[00:26:25] Speaker C: Yo, Dolph was from Memphis, right?
[00:26:26] Speaker B: Yeah. Dolph. Is it Glock from Memphis, too?
[00:26:29] Speaker C: I believe so. Yeah.
[00:26:30] Speaker B: Yeah. I don't know. They're all hard as fuck. But it's like you said, it's that beat. It's that beat, the way it moves versus, like, a Detroit beat, which is, like, super fast or like a mission or like a.
Who's like Rio. Young og. You know who that is? Yeah. Like, he raps fast. All those guys over there rap fast. Florida beats are really fast.
[00:26:50] Speaker C: And I think that has to do with also the lifestyle of, like, you're from Augusta.
[00:26:54] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:26:54] Speaker C: Things move a little bit slower down there, you know, and tying that into the country. To the country lyrics and the world that you come from, I think it makes a whole lot of sense.
[00:27:03] Speaker B: Yeah, it does it. And it's easier for people to understand and relate to, too, you know? So it's. It's fun being. And I'm not, you know, I mean, everything I'm rapping about is the truth. So, yeah, it's fun being able to do it.
[00:27:14] Speaker C: Yeah, man. And it's. It's cool to see someone in the rap game that's coming up and you're on this rocket ship right now. Be here in Nashville, because that's not something we come across very often. And it seems like the country community has welcomed you in with open arms for the most part as well.
[00:27:29] Speaker B: 100%. I mean, everybody here has been nothing but a blast to be around. I mean, everybody here has shown nothing but support. I mean, Nashville's shown me love. I haven't received from even my hometown friends. I mean, this place just filled with good energy, good music, good everything. And so it was easy for me to adapt, you know? So like these country guys, these artists, all these guys, I mean, you as a, as me being a fan of like who I was and I'm watching these guys from my phone or anything, you think different than who they are in person, you know, I mean, and a lot of people think that about me. People think, oh, this nigga might be a douchebag, this nigga might be a
[00:28:06] Speaker C: jackass, or furthest thing from the case, I promise, furthest thing from the truth.
[00:28:11] Speaker B: But like, like people and it's okay, you know, I mean, I understand that my Persona, when you put out an Internet Persona, you're not showing Internet your personality and stuff. It definitely leads people in the wrong direction. But when people meet me and stuff, you realize how much the Internet, you know, how much the Internet fucks things up. Because like, people meet me and they're like, damn, bro, I've had people straight walk up to me like, I thought she was going to be a bitch ass nigga. I was like, damn. Like, you couldn't, you couldn't word that any differently.
But like, I mean, eventually it was like, I gotta get used to this. Like, if I'm on, if I'm out there rapping and I'm trying to be this rapper and artists and make music and stuff, people are gonna think of you like that. People are gonna. And if you're not in arm's reach of somebody, you know what I mean? They're gonna think of you as too good for somebody. And sometimes I feel like that's okay because you can always meet someone and find different. You know what I mean? And I'm not a guy that's hard to reach.
You walk outside fucking Broadway on a set Saturday, you might see me.
[00:29:06] Speaker C: So, yeah, dude, it seems like College Towns and tailgates specifically out at College Towns have been a huge part for you, getting your, your following up. You're building your initial like grassroots fan base. So what College Town was like the first one that you kind of hit and like what have been some of your favorites that you've gotten to go to and kind of spread the message.
[00:29:27] Speaker B: A big one I ever hit. Yeah, I was, I was young as fuck. I was like 14 years old. I was at fucking Columbia, South Carolina.
[00:29:36] Speaker C: Oh, with the Gamecock fans.
[00:29:38] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:29:38] Speaker B: And those niggas are route like going through basic, like, it's like basic training for a whole. Like if you go to basic training through Columbia. Oh, my God. It's like basic training for all the bars, you know what I mean? Like, that's where you need to get. Like, them niggas are rowdy.
[00:29:52] Speaker C: Go to Five points Down, bro.
[00:29:54] Speaker B: Like. And I mean, I was doing shit I know damn well I shouldn't have been doing, but shit, it was. It was the funniest shit ever. And then eventually I made my way over to Athens. Spent a lot of time ega, Statesboro. I was there a lot.
I don't really like Coastal Carolina in Myrtle.
[00:30:13] Speaker C: Myrtle. Myrtle's old Dirty. Myrtle's a different place.
[00:30:15] Speaker B: I don't know about little. That shit. That shit stinky as hell. That's the funkiest fucking beach.
That's like, nah, hell no, bro. Like, I don't know. Like, if I like it. This is my theory. If you sit in a group and you make a decision, a group decision to put in money to go to Myrtle Beach, I can't be friends with you.
[00:30:35] Speaker C: Like, seriously? Yeah, I've had good times in Myrtle.
[00:30:37] Speaker B: You have a good time every time, but it's like you're willingly going there. I end up in Myrtle.
[00:30:42] Speaker C: You end up.
[00:30:42] Speaker B: Yeah, I end up. That's how I was in Myrtle. I didn't plan to go there.
[00:30:45] Speaker C: So how'd you end up there? What was the plan?
[00:30:47] Speaker B: And so, I mean, if I stayed in, like, Conway with my buddies, ended up in Myrtle.
[00:30:53] Speaker A: You know what I mean?
[00:30:53] Speaker B: Like, this 4:00am, why the AM I on Myrtle Beach? Don't know, you know, I mean, just a bunch of girls and drinks, I guess.
[00:31:01] Speaker C: Ended up at Tin Roof and all the bars out there. Derrieres. Yeah, that place, dude.
[00:31:06] Speaker B: That place put me through the ringer.
But, I mean, I think my favorite college town right now is Ole Miss.
[00:31:13] Speaker C: Ole Miss Oxford. Oxford does it different.
[00:31:16] Speaker B: Yeah, they do it great. I love. I love that place. I mean, Alabama's probably got the nicest. I've seen.
[00:31:21] Speaker C: Tea Town.
[00:31:22] Speaker B: Tuscaloosa, probably nicest college town I've seen, But Louisiana and Oxford are probably the best.
[00:31:28] Speaker C: Now, have you gotten to, like, pop up and do shows at any of these places yet or not quite yet.
[00:31:32] Speaker B: Yeah, I've done a couple. I mean, Athens, I did one. Ole Miss, I've done on top of, like, a. At a bar, which was funny as hell.
[00:31:40] Speaker C: So you're, like, performing on top of
[00:31:42] Speaker B: the bar or, like, wherever we're at, like, on. I'm on the bar.
[00:31:45] Speaker C: Yeah, yeah, yeah. Like, you're on the bars. Just spitting.
[00:31:48] Speaker B: Just being an idiot. Dude, I mean, me and. It was me and a bunch of my boys from.
I think they live in Cali, but they do, like, this college tour thing. And we were all hanging out, all doing it, all doing the damn thing. And we got a BNB when we went out. They're all, like, known as hell on the Internet. So we were going out taking pictures, causing ruckus. Taking. We went on a frat tour, did all that. But eventually the night led to me being on top of a bar pod performing. Yeah. And I mean, that's. That's the funnest part.
[00:32:16] Speaker C: What are those frat tours like? Because that's something I've never really experienced.
[00:32:21] Speaker B: Exactly what you think they're like. Like, you walk in.
It depends on what time of year, what time of what time of the year you get the tour, too. Like, I mean, if. If you're going at the beginning when they can't have no over there, it's kind of like a sausage fest. That's. That's between them and God. Yeah. But it's fun as hell, you know, I mean, they got a huge platform. They got. Got a huge space to do whatever they want. They got those, like, I'm gonna perform at a couple fries this year. I mean, the kids are good kids. I mean, you know, I mean, they're easy to get along with. That's. That's all.
[00:32:49] Speaker C: And they're right around your age group, too. So it's like with. With your. With you being a young man. Like, you are, you. You're. You grew. You are the same age as all these college kids. So it makes sense why the college markets would be a great spot. They're bumping your.
[00:33:03] Speaker B: Dude, they are bumping it.
[00:33:04] Speaker C: And it's. And it's a huge way to get.
[00:33:06] Speaker B: Get.
[00:33:06] Speaker C: Get the base going. Like, I remember I had Brantley Gilbert on here a few weeks ago, and he was talking about a huge part of his story was going to Milled and going to Athens and go. And going to Tifton and going to Valdosta and going to Statesboro. And those college towns were where he built his initial base because he learned from Corey Smith, who did the same thing, you know, like, there's power to having that, because then when those kids go back to wherever their hometown is, they're going to say, when they're passing around the aux and who's playing what? Somebody's going to play Big Mo. Be like, this guy came. I saw this guy perform at. At Kappa Sig or whatever, you know, like. Or play At Proud Larry's or play at the Blue Room or whatever.
[00:33:46] Speaker B: I really like the idea of, like, concerts at fry Houses too. Like, they look sick. They are there. Like when you go online and you see, like, all these fucking kids packed out or like the backyard bands.
[00:33:56] Speaker C: The backyard bands. Oh, yeah.
[00:33:58] Speaker B: That's just so sick, bro. It's just so cool, bro. We need more of that. Yeah.
[00:34:01] Speaker C: Now with your live show, is it just you? And you've got a DJ up there with you? That's Duck. Right.
So. Yeah. So I've known Duck since he first moved to town. So talk to me about how you got connected with him. Because. Because he's a. He's a. He's a hustling. He's a hustling dude and a good dude, man.
[00:34:18] Speaker B: It's my brother.
I was friends with him before he started working with me. Like, he. We were.
It was. I think it was like January through March was the area. I was just looking expand my team and just. Because shit was getting serious.
[00:34:30] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:34:30] Speaker B: And so me and Zach, like, he had other artists before me, and so I was always hanging out with him. Like, he was just a good hang. We always hung out. He got shit done. I watched him do shit. He's always trying to do better, you know what I mean? And so I brought him up, and my manager already ended up knowing the kid. Like, they've already known each other a while back, I guess, and it was just a great addition to the team. And now he's like one of my. You know what I mean, my guys. If I need some, he needs some. He calls me, I call him. He's one of the. You know, I mean, there's a lot for me, bro. I feel like a team. It has to be a team for it to work. And he's a really big part of the team.
[00:35:04] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:35:04] Speaker B: Because even the little.
From the littlest he does to the biggest. He does everything. Everything helps my. My cause, you know?
[00:35:10] Speaker C: And I can only imagine at a live show, you're up there flying around, and he's back there with his mustache and his hair behind the thing. Yeah. Just rocking out, dude.
[00:35:18] Speaker B: He's so fun, funny. On the mic.
First time we went out there, his voice cracked.
[00:35:23] Speaker C: That was.
Where was that at?
[00:35:26] Speaker B: We were in, like, Ohio or some. And I'm. I'm behind the stage.
[00:35:30] Speaker C: Oh, no.
[00:35:30] Speaker B: I think. Yeah, we were in Ohio. I'm on. Behind the stage, is nervous as the crowd screaming, like, bro. He said, I'm about to bring out. They started screaming, I'm like, what the is going on? I don't even scream like that when I see myself.
[00:35:44] Speaker C: I'm screaming.
[00:35:45] Speaker B: I'm looking at. I'm looking at Zach. I'm looking at my cameraman, and he's got the camera pointed at me. Zach goes, are y' all fuckin. Like, he goes, are y' all fucking ready? And it was like, loud as fuck, bro. I dropped the mic, died laughing. This nigga, you could just hear. He didn't say a single word after that. Yeah, I get off. He gets off stage. After I rocked that show, bro, that was like one of my favorite shows. This. Is this the picture from the show?
[00:36:08] Speaker C: Oh, wow.
[00:36:09] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:36:09] Speaker C: Damn, dude. Who was. Now, was that a headline or. You were who?
[00:36:13] Speaker B: Yeah, Honest Abe.
[00:36:14] Speaker C: Honest Dave. Now, who's that? I'm not. I'm not super familiar.
[00:36:16] Speaker B: He's my dog. He's from Missouri, Killing. He just put out a song. Mgk. He's. He's somebody, bro. He's one of the most humble artists I've ever met. One of the only people who was okay with teaching me the ways, bringing me out, doing me, you know? I mean, like, I love people like that. And he's. He's. He's a big part of my success too, you know? I mean, and I'm not even anywhere near what I want to be because.
[00:36:37] Speaker C: No, dude, you're just starting, bro.
[00:36:39] Speaker B: Yeah, so. But people like him help a lot.
[00:36:42] Speaker C: It's important to have. Have guys and girls around you that'll help help lift you up and bring you along.
[00:36:48] Speaker B: Not even. Not even materialistically or anything. Like, these guys mentally help me out a lot, bro. Like, being around them just.
[00:36:54] Speaker C: You got to navigate your. Your life because like a year ago to where you're at right now, super different. Keeping. Keeping the. The train on the tracks, bro.
[00:37:04] Speaker B: I mean, and I can't even say it's hard because this is what I chose to do and I enjoy every last bit of it. But I mean, sometimes you just gotta. I like being around people where I could be myself. You know what I mean? And so you gotta pick those people because being yourself around the wrong people, even, like. Like, it's okay to, like, you gotta be yourself all the time, but, like, you know what I mean? Sometimes. Sometimes you just gotta chill. But I like aving them or even most of these artists that I hang out with, I just hang, you know, I mean, do whatever the fuck you want. Hang out. Say what? Like, that's. That's the kind of crowd I want around forever now.
[00:37:35] Speaker C: What do you like doing. When you're not doing music stuff?
[00:37:37] Speaker B: Dude, I've been golfing like.
[00:37:39] Speaker C: You've been golfing?
[00:37:39] Speaker B: Yeah, recently.
Don't know why. I've been golfing like. Like, a lot.
[00:37:43] Speaker C: You grow up golfing?
[00:37:44] Speaker B: Well, I mean, I played golf all the. Like, before I was playing golf. 14, 15, 16.
[00:37:49] Speaker C: Okay.
[00:37:50] Speaker B: Didn't stop for, like, three years. And then I got back here, and I'm golfing all the time. You know what I mean? It's open.
[00:37:55] Speaker C: What course is you playing at?
[00:37:57] Speaker B: Riverside.
[00:37:58] Speaker C: Oh, Riverside. I like Riverside.
[00:37:59] Speaker B: I like Riverside.
[00:38:00] Speaker C: I like Riverside a lot. They've made it a lot nicer here.
Yeah, it's quick. You get out there, play a quick nine.
[00:38:07] Speaker B: That's my kind of.
We go on a boat a lot.
[00:38:11] Speaker C: Okay.
[00:38:11] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:38:12] Speaker C: A lot of time on the water.
[00:38:13] Speaker B: Yeah, a lot. Like, sometimes too much. Like, we've been on that boat till 2am and we'll do.
[00:38:18] Speaker C: Really?
[00:38:18] Speaker B: Yeah, we get on the boat a lot.
The bars.
[00:38:23] Speaker C: Yeah. Where are some of your favorite spots you like going to?
Because there's a lot of them here. We have a ton of. We are a bar city.
[00:38:34] Speaker B: Yeah, there's a lot of bars.
[00:38:35] Speaker A: I don't know.
[00:38:36] Speaker B: I can't put my hand on it yet. I feel like I gotta. I feel like I gotta be. Two more years and I'll be a. I want to be a regular at one, you know.
[00:38:42] Speaker C: Okay.
[00:38:42] Speaker B: And get my one. But I'm tasting it all right now.
[00:38:44] Speaker C: Yeah.
[00:38:44] Speaker B: I mean, they're all cool.
[00:38:45] Speaker C: And what I like, too, is the way Nashville's set up. You have different vibes in different places.
[00:38:49] Speaker B: Yeah, you do.
[00:38:49] Speaker C: Like East Nashville, Skinny Dennis. That's a different vibe. Or you go to Ernie's or any of those different vibe from Broadway, where you got all the tourists and you got the DJs, and that town's a different vibe. And then Midtown's a whole different world. And then you go to Germantown, and that's a different vibe. And then. Yeah. 12 South's a whole different flavor, bro.
[00:39:08] Speaker B: 12 south is sick.
[00:39:09] Speaker C: 12 south is.
[00:39:10] Speaker B: I went to Bar Taco yesterday, and the tacos, bro.
[00:39:12] Speaker C: The food is so good, dude.
[00:39:14] Speaker B: It was great. The food was amazing.
[00:39:16] Speaker C: Yeah, dude, we got a lot of good food here too.
[00:39:18] Speaker B: Oh, yeah? Yeah.
[00:39:20] Speaker C: Anything you could ever want, we have here, I think.
[00:39:23] Speaker B: I don't know what kind of food. Indian food. I've had a lot recently. Yeah, I've had a lot of Indian.
[00:39:28] Speaker C: Where are you getting Indian food at? That's not something I eat regularly.
[00:39:30] Speaker B: This place called Sundoor and it's like 10 minutes from here. I don't know why I tapped in, but.
[00:39:36] Speaker C: Yeah, you like spicy?
[00:39:38] Speaker B: Is that why?
[00:39:39] Speaker C: That might be why I tried.
[00:39:41] Speaker B: I saw it on Tick Tock and I was like it. Let me try this.
[00:39:43] Speaker C: Do you do the tourist hot chicken thing? Nah, you don't try the. The heat of that.
[00:39:50] Speaker B: I don't know. I never tapped into, like, the Nashville hot chicken thing because I.
[00:39:53] Speaker C: As if you like spicy. I'd love to see you try the hottest flavor and see if you could handle it, because I know I can't. My ass gets like.
[00:39:59] Speaker B: You didn't.
[00:40:00] Speaker C: You couldn't I get like, the. The mild or the medium, bro? I don't touch the.
[00:40:04] Speaker B: I love the hot.
[00:40:04] Speaker C: I don't touch the. The hottest chicken at Prince.
[00:40:07] Speaker B: But eating it like that.
[00:40:09] Speaker C: Yes, like you're in pain as you're eating it.
[00:40:13] Speaker B: I love jalapenos. Big old jalapenos.
[00:40:15] Speaker C: You love jalapenos?
[00:40:17] Speaker B: Jalapenos on tacos. Subs.
[00:40:20] Speaker C: You probably get crazy on your pizza, don't you?
[00:40:22] Speaker B: What's crazy?
[00:40:23] Speaker C: Like, tell me what you get on your pizza and I'll tell you if it's crazy or not.
[00:40:27] Speaker B: Jalapenos, pepperonis.
[00:40:31] Speaker C: You do like banana peppers and all that?
[00:40:34] Speaker B: I mean, I'm fine with that. That tastes pretty good. Sounds pretty good.
Or olives. I like olives.
[00:40:39] Speaker C: Oh, see, olives I don't put on there.
[00:40:41] Speaker B: I love olives on my pizza. But, I mean, I get a pretty normal pizza.
[00:40:45] Speaker C: Yeah, pretty normal pizza. Okay.
[00:40:46] Speaker B: Jalapenos, pepperonis, olives. I like that. It's a ranch. A lot of ranch.
[00:40:50] Speaker C: A lot of ranch. Well, you're from the South. Ranches. Growing up in New York, ranch was always just a salad dressing down here. It's a way of life, you know, ranch and bush life.
Ranch. Ranch and sweet tea. Everybody laughs at me because I. At Odie's, like, I know you've seen me there. We. We do our events there. I get like the big bucket that they put the cocktails in, and I always get it filled with unsweet tea. And everybody looks at me like I'm Satan drinking on sweet. Nice tea in Midtown, bro. So you said you've been working on some new music. When are we looking at the new. New stuff coming? I know we got a remix video coming out. Like, as we're doing this.
[00:41:22] Speaker B: I think it just came out.
[00:41:23] Speaker C: Just dropped.
[00:41:24] Speaker B: Yeah. Let's see.
[00:41:26] Speaker C: And what. What song is that for?
[00:41:28] Speaker B: It's called Talking or. It's called Put it on Me by. By Big Mo. But it's a Talking Bodies remix from Tublo.
Yeah, it's a sick song. And then I got.
I got a couple songs that I've been working on. I made a couple songs in LA that I really like that I want to focus on soon.
[00:41:46] Speaker C: How often are you traveling? Because it sounds like you're. You're going down for camps in Miami, you're going out to. You're going out to la. You're obviously writing and recording.
[00:41:55] Speaker B: This is the first. This is the first three weeks I've been on.
[00:41:57] Speaker C: Wow.
[00:41:58] Speaker B: Like, and consistently, like, I mean, and I love traveling, so I'm not. It's not like. Like, it's not getting in the way or anything, but somebody calls me, they want me somewhere, I'm sliding, you know what I mean? I love. I love. I love traveling. Love being on a plane. Love riding around for hours. I mean, before I was doing the music thing, I was doing the truck, though, the truck show thing. And we're going 12 hours in the truck.
[00:42:22] Speaker C: So you talk about the truck shows. So what's your involvement with that?
[00:42:26] Speaker B: Like, what do you mean, doing the truck? I host them. So, like, I do.
[00:42:28] Speaker C: Oh, you would host them?
[00:42:29] Speaker B: Yeah, yeah, I host truck shows. I do. Like, it'd be me and another truck club or something, for example, and we'd rent out a property, we put out flyers, we'd make awards for the kids. I'd go out there, perform. We'd do like, certain competitions with the trucks. And there'd be anywhere from 300 trucks all the way to 2,000 trucks. And you got plenty of kids who want to come out and show out and just have fun. And it's. I think it's like seven hours of just being able to hang out with your buddies that are from seven hours away that you just know on Snapchat, because they're all gonna come and we pick out a city every, like, every couple months, there's gonna be one spot so these kids have enough time to focus on their trucks, clean up their trucks, race. You know what I mean? Do what they want with these trucks so they can look good when they come by.
And we'll make, like, big awards like skate. Like skate. Like the Surfside Skateboard, like a big award that has my face on it or in. There's like, super sick awards. There's plaques that say, like, top 50, top three Chevy, top four top, like, anywhere from best audio to best motorcycle. You know what I mean? We got awards for everything. So they Come out there, I'll give them a little 30 minute set, we'll perform for them and then we'll do award call outs and we'll just have everyone get their awards. We have five people who go around judging trucks.
[00:43:48] Speaker C: So what makes a. What makes a great truck when you're at these shows? Is it the lift? Is it the. The shine and the flashiness? Talk about the audio.
[00:43:55] Speaker B: Honestly, I mean, it depends on what, what award you're going for. You know what I mean? Like some people go out there with a truck that they haven't done anything to but put $30,000 worth of audio in, you know what I mean? And they can win like the truck
[00:44:08] Speaker C: that was to the side stage of at tailgates, like our Surfside station.
That was a nice truck truck. But they were bumping that audio. But like that bass was loud.
[00:44:19] Speaker B: Or you could go for like some people best lift or best squat, for example, best squad. That means they're gonna take the. Anywhere from the rear blocks at their trucks to no coils in their trucks in the back and have their front lifted all the way up tilt. Yeah. And the truck doesn't. As long as it's the highest, like the highest truck there, you win that award.
There's best paint. So if you go get a good paint, you win that award. You know what I mean? But then there's top 50. Top 50 is just like a super clean. Well to get like super clean truck that's well put together that you're taking your time on, you know, I mean, and a lot of these guys, to be honest, are biased, you know, I mean, like they're giving awards to their friends or giving awards.
So sometimes that room is a fun. But most of the time it's. It's just.
[00:45:03] Speaker C: Yeah. So you had the love tailgates then with the truck, Shelby and that's my shit.
[00:45:07] Speaker B: My first tailgates was three years ago.
[00:45:08] Speaker C: Oh, so you've been there on the truck side?
[00:45:10] Speaker B: Yeah, I went there when Bailey's in perform in North Carolina.
[00:45:13] Speaker C: And I was going to say the, the. The. That's part of Bailey's origin story too, because he's always been a big truck guy and that's how he got his start.
[00:45:20] Speaker B: His truck's sick. He's got that big white one. Yeah, sick. I love that truck.
[00:45:24] Speaker C: That's awesome.
[00:45:25] Speaker B: God.
[00:45:25] Speaker C: Hell yeah, dude. So when I'm sneezing over here. I'm sorry, Wisconsin gave me something, bro. Where I've been. And I got to go host in Indiana. Thank you I appreciate it. Doesn't happen on here very often when I'm sneezing and. But so, so we got the, the new. The Bodies music video.
[00:45:45] Speaker B: We got another one coming out September. We got a song coming out in October. I'm not gonna say okay, okay. But it's a. It's a pretty big song and it's gonna come out on their end and I'm the feature, but it's a good song. And then I got one in September. Probably won this one too.
[00:46:00] Speaker C: And then. Are we looking at a full project coming at any point?
[00:46:03] Speaker B: I mean, I'm putting it together right now, but.
[00:46:05] Speaker C: How many. How many songs? Ep. Full album.
[00:46:08] Speaker B: I might do an ep just cuz I want to put something out. Yeah. But I might do a record by Christmas. You know, I might put out a record by January. I might put a record out October. I mean, it just depends on what timing I feel like is right. But right now I'm working on it, putting it together, trying to get the best, best album I could get.
[00:46:26] Speaker C: Yeah, that debut album is a big one, bro.
[00:46:28] Speaker B: Yeah, it's gonna be fun.
[00:46:29] Speaker C: I mean, that's awesome, man.
[00:46:30] Speaker B: It's already sounding good so far, so. Yeah, dude.
[00:46:32] Speaker C: Well, thank you for doing what you're doing, cuz I tell you what, as somebody who listens to music and tells people about music for a living, we love what you're freaking doing, bro. Like, you're absolutely killing it. It's a breath of fresh air. It's something different than we've seen here in the scene, at least since I've been here. And sky's the limit, bro. The rockets just fire it up and get ready to go to the damn moon, bro. You can go all the way out there to Pluto in this thing, bro. Like it's, it's happening.
And I think there's a lot of. A lot of cool we could be doing anytime. We could have your name next to the raised Rowdy name. That's a plus for us.
[00:47:06] Speaker B: I mean, y' all boys are some of the best guys I work with, you know? I mean, even if it's just coming around, y'. All. So anytime Ray Rowdy want to do something with Big Mo.
