Welcome to Indie Face Radio Show, the show that caters to everything independent. Everything Indie, baby. I'm talking about... I'm talking about independent singers. Oh, yeah. Independent actors. Painters. Independent dancers. Oh, yeah, yeah. Independent graffiti artists. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Independent pimps, players. Okay, no, okay. I took it a little too far right there, right? My bad. I took it a little too far there. But they Indie, though. They are Indie. You know, because I did look up the word independent in the dictionary, and it's something that's not controlled by others. Oh. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Not requiring or relying on others. Oh, yeah. And not affiliated with a larger controlling unit. Look at you doing your homework. So that's straight up. Oh, yeah, come on, man. That's my homework right there. Well, I tell you what, man. So that's independent right there. You're Corndizy, man. Hey, okay. Off the top, I'm Mr. Corndizy, the 6'3 Gemini, doing it like I'm doing it for TV. And as a matter of fact, we are live on TV right now. And you know what? I didn't get a chance to change my clothes today. I'm just coming from my other gig. And you know what? I didn't get a chance to change my clothes. But I did take a shot. Oh, there you go. There you go. I'm close to you, so I hope you don't smell nothing. No, it's all good, man. I just smell fresh and clean. It's all good. It's all good. And you are? I'm Terrible T, man. And y'all know, man, from back in the day, I don't take no shh. Hey, hey. Can we curse on this show? Yes, we can. But you know what, though? Hey, thumbs up. I like that. I'm going to keep it PG, you know? PG, PG-13. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, man. All right. We back, man. We back, man. We back on the air. It's been a long time coming, but we are definitely back up in the heezy-fasheezy. Oh, yeah, man. And let me tell you, we got a history together. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, most definitely. I mean, not like that, y'all. You know? I mean, nothing wrong with that, but I'm saying not like that. We got a history that goes back, ways back, and both have some ties in the entertainment industry. Most definitely. And a lot of knowledge, a lot of blood, sweat, and tears that we've put in this industry that we call the music industry. Yeah, man. And you know what? It's funny because they always say, you know, positive energy kind of attracts, and we were attracted to each other in a crazy kind of way because my cousin was the one who actually introduced us. Right, right, right, right, yeah. My cousin BTZ. BTZ, BTZ. What up there, BTZ? Shout out to BTZ. Hey, and I'll tell you how far we go back, you know. And that was 1997. 1997. The year that Biggie got shot. We was at the party and everything. Yeah, that was wild. Yeah, that was so trained. Yeah, man. Yeah, man. Yeah, man. Yeah, man. Yeah, man. Yeah, man. Yeah, man. Yeah, man. Yeah, man. Yeah, man. We hit up all the award shows and all that kind of good stuff. So we got history, and let me tell you, we both have a passion and love for independent artists. Yeah, man. Most definitely. Got a love for music, period. I mean, we'll sit on the phone for like four hours just talking about the old days of the record industry. We'll talk about, you know, all right, well, who you think is doper, such and such or such and such. And, you know, we just chop it up, and that's just one passion that we have. And we know that there's a lot of artists out there that just aren't. That aren't able to just crack that, you know, that crack that code that gets them and launch them to the next level. Yeah. And you know what? I will say that there are not secrets, but there's information that some of these independent artists can, you know, gather together and kind of, you know, escalate themselves to the next level. Yeah. And I'm hoping that we might be the key to some of these independent artists taking it to the next level. I think so. I think so. And you know what, too? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I love the fact, too, that not only do we, you know, talk to talk, but we walk the walk, because we actually go to shows, man. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Oh, ain't nothing like a live show. We go out there and we support, man. Oh, yeah. Without a doubt. So if you got something going on, man, you're going to see me and Deezy up in there. Oh, no doubt. And you know what? I like the fact that this number is right there on the wall. Oh, yeah. Yeah. So I don't have to memorize anything because, you know, back in the day, I used to partake in certain things that may have, you know, altered my memory, my short-term memory. So I don't have to worry about that. If you want to give us a call and say what's happening, if you're an independent artist, please holler at us. And the number is? 1-800-893-9562. One more again. 1-800-893-9562. Now, you know what, Korn? Before we get into it, our first guest is cool, man, from the known entertainment. Oh, yeah. Yeah. And we have watched his brother grow. Oh, definitely. He actually did the intro for our show, man. Oh, yeah. That was hot. Which was so live. Yeah. I hope you guys enjoyed that, by the way. We kind of just bypassed that because we was up here rocking out to it. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. And, yeah, that was hot, man. Yeah, that was very, very hot, man. So he'll be here in a minute, man. Great way to start a show. Yeah, he'll be here in a minute. And that's what we want to do. We want to bring independent artists to you, to the world. Yeah. Like I said, they also have put their blood, sweat, and tears into something, and they want to bring it to the world. Right, right, right. And we want to be, you know, a pretty much a launching pad for them to be able to push it out to the world to hear and enjoy. So, yeah, what we do, we've actually had a show together before, and what we like to do, we bring the artists here, we let them play some of their music, we interview them, kind of get in their heads and kind of, you know, offer some suggestions of what they might can do to take it to the next level. That's what it's all about, baby. The fact that you, first of all, I got to give a big shout out. To Terrible T. Because we've been talking about it for a minute, how we want to get back on the air. You know, it was another situation that wasn't feeling right, you know, just, you know, perfect or comfortable. I should say, wasn't feeling comfortable. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But you know, just like a little, just like a tight shirt or something. Sometimes it might fit, but it just ain't comfortable. So, you know, so we had to go ahead and, you know, do what we felt in our hearts that we needed to do, and that was just go ahead and, you know, leave the situation. So we are back together. We're back. We are biz-ack. So give us a holler. 1-800-893-9562. And, you know, we want to continue to do this, and we can't do it without you. So make sure you reach out, holler at us. And if you know an independent artist, please holler at us. And I like the fact that, like I said, you took the initiative to say, you know what, let's go ahead and get back on the air. Let's go ahead and do it. I think the time is right now. And as soon as you said that, I'm like, yo, I'm with it. Let's go ahead and do it. Hey, man, you know what, man? Let's take a little break, man. Let's play these, some, some, some up-and-coming independent artists. Okay, all right. We're going to set it off like that. A double back-to-back. What's going on over here, though? Oh, we got to do the toast. Oh, okay. We got to do the toast. That's coming up later, though. That's coming up a little later. Got to put some food in my system. All right, now. Holler at us. 1-800-893-9562. We're going to play this back-to-back music for some up-and-coming artists down south. That's right. Down south. This is Indie Face Radio Show. Let's go.

And Adam, we just broke you off with a two-pack right there. Yeah, yeah, from straight from down south, man. Dallas, Texas. That's my boy. That's my boy, Erotic D. Erotic D. And Young Slab. Hey, you know what? But he had a little West Coast flavor to him, man. Yeah, he did. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Erotic D, man. You know, he's been in the game for a while. You know, he was all, he was a part of that whole Def Roe, you know, thing when they first got started. So, you know, he's been in that camp and he's also... Does he produce and a rapper? He produces and a rapper. Okay, okay. He's the genius behind a lot of, lot of acts, man, you know. And, uh... So, uh... Kind of the unseen, kind of ghost. Did he do some ghost producing, ghost rapping or what? Oh, he's been out there, man. He did some stuff with Idina Howard. Okay. He did some stuff with George Clinton. Okay. You know, you know. Speaking of, wait, I got to tell you, I went to go see George Clinton. Oh, yeah? Woo! They got off, man. But, you know, I got to be honest. You know, I went to go see George Clinton maybe, I would say maybe 10, 15 years ago. Oh, yeah, yeah. Off the chain. Energy was ridiculous. Oh, yeah, man. You know? But, but, this time out... But? Yeah, this time out, he had to have, like, you know, the younger dude next to him. And he just couldn't hit, like, everything that he used to be able to hit. Well, you know, he's getting up there. It gets kind of... Hey, let me tell you, man. Because, you know, you go to some of these old school shows. Right, right. And you expect to, you know, you expect them to sound like they used to sound like. Right, right. Exactly. I mean, I guess we got to take it into consideration. I saw him at the Greek. You know, we all get older and stuff like that. I saw him at the Greek. And how did you like him? Well, you know, for his age, I think he did pretty good. Considering some of the acts that I've seen. But when do you stop giving excuses and stop going to see them if you're going to say, well, he was good considering? Well, yeah, man, you know. You know, because, I mean, if you pay your money, and, you know, I used to bump some, you know, George, you know, George Clinton. And he used to go hard. You know what I'm saying? He used to get me hyped up. I feel you. And that's what I want to go see when I go to the show. I don't want to... But what if they can't move like that? What if they can't groove like that? They up there. They 70, 80 years old. So are we really just kind of going on the memories of it? Because we're really not getting entertained by what they're giving us. We're just kind of like reminiscing of what they used to be. But I'm just lucky enough that I've seen him earlier on in their career and know what they can do. Right, right, right, right. I'm just, I'm fortunate enough to have seen them. Okay. You know, so the other people that are kind of getting to him right now. And they come in and they 19, 20 years old. I mean, they missing out. Yeah, because see, they wouldn't miss out. Because when I went over to see George Clinton, if a younger cat went in there, he wouldn't have been 100% sold. No, he wouldn't have. Becoming a new artist. I mean, becoming a new fan of the artist. No, he wouldn't have. You know, so it was a trip though. I mean, like I said, he got out. He cut his hair. He cut all his hair. Yeah, yeah. And the feathers and all that kind of good stuff. So he doesn't have that... But the funk is still alive. The funk is still alive. You know, and I enjoy myself. And like you said, I did reminisce. And, you know, I kind of thought about, you know, how he used to get down. And you could just picture all that kind of good stuff. So that's what's up. So he worked with the cat, huh? He worked with... Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, man. Yeah, Roddick has been in the business for a while, man. I can't even name... And still doing his thing. Oh, yeah, yeah, man. Yeah, you know. Straight out of Dallas. Yeah, yeah. The DOC. He's a genius behind the DOC and all that, man. You know, he was part of Def Roe during the early days, man. Okay, okay. And we showing our age now. Well, you know what? We actually didn't give a chance. We didn't give a chance to, you know, kind of give our backgrounds, you know, why we think we may, you know, be qualified to do a show like this. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Well, first off, I'm Cornelius. I almost gave the whole government name. Boy, y'all was with you. But you stopped it. I had my own money. I had my own money. It was so funny because you stopped. You said, I'm Cornelius. And you said, you know what? I better not tell the whole thing. You know what? I've been so many nicknames. I forget my own name sometimes. All right, all right. I'm Cornelius Corndizzi. And the Sixth Race Gemini. All right. All right. All right. I was also known as Corn Dog. Right. Also known as Cornelius Prince. Right, right. Also known as just about everything. Background in radio. Started off as an intern at the Beat Radio Station when it was 92.3, the beat. The beat. At the time, you know, it was kind of up and coming station, battling with Power 106, which are, you know, two of the local stations out here in LA. And, you know, I was in college and I was like, okay, what do I really want to do? You know, I said, I know. I got a passion for music. I know I got a passion for, you know, live music. I know I got a passion for people. So, you know what? I decided to take an internship over at the Beat Radio Station in the promotions department. Right. And at the time, you know, they would send the van out to different places. Right. And, you know, we just kind of would blow up the spot, you know, say, hey, we here on the corner. Right, right, right. And people would just come on down. There you go. There you go. It used to be crazy. So, you know what? We'll continue telling a little history, a brief history about our background. So, like I said, you'll know that we're kind of qualified to do a show like this. So, like I said, we want to definitely let you know this is Indy Face Radio Show. Indy Face Radio, man. Live and direct in your ear hole. And the number to hit us up is 1-800-893-9562. And guess what? My main man, Kool from the known ENT is in the building. No, hold on. No, we can't. We can't introduce him yet because he was running a little late. Well, he was, yeah, yeah. We got to get on him first. We got to get on him. And then we're going to introduce him. Okay. So, what time did you tell Kool Cal he was supposed to be here? I told him to be here at 2 p.m. Because you know he was going to be late, right? Okay. Okay. But you know what? Traffic out here is a beast. Man. I would have been here on time. But, you know, like you said, I got here right on time. Right. So, I know how that traffic is. That traffic is a monster. So, you know what, man? Were you here on time? Oh, yeah. Of course. Of course. Okay. You know what I think we should do? Let's play Kool's two songs right quick because we pressed for time. Or maybe. Back to back. Or maybe just one. No, let's go and do them back to back and then let's talk to him afterwards. Let's do it. All right. Let's go and do that. But you don't want him to introduce his own thing? Oh, you can. Well, you know what? Should he? He late. He late? No, he don't get it. He don't get it. He don't get it. Next time. This is Indie Face Radio Show. I'm Mr. Korn Deasy, the 6'3 Gemini.

A friend to breast share. Communication heavier than CNN. And she ain't always in the hills, catch her rocking the Thames. Never ask where that ghost, she content with her bins. Never hit my cell up when I'm out with my friends. Winner. No hidden agenda, no schemes. No ulterior motives, not just to fling. Baby, just my sweet thing. When we on the scene, nobody outshines us.

I'm feeling like Drake from OutKast. They never could but do. Cause everything that she say is so believably true. Got me thinking outside the box. Investing in stocks, financial moves like the rich. So I'm increasing my grok. I give her props on the option. Give me props right back. Compliments. All the time. The utmost respect. We spend a lot of time focusing on sex. But how she move and how she build. I bet that they be the best. Everything we talk about. We can't help but to win. Cause she ain't only just my girl. She my best friend.

So this is Indie Face Radio Show. And like we always do around this time, we like to welcome in one of our guests. And he's just not an ordinary guest. He's a guest. He's also a friend of ours. We go way back with Kool Kyl. As a matter of fact, we got to talk about his name, too, because I call him two different names, but we're going to get all into details in a second. So go ahead. I'll give you the honors of introducing him. 100. Hey, man, this cat here been around for a long time, man. You know, he comes straight out of Tennessee. You know them backwoods cats, man. He country, but he ain't country. But they talented. They talented. We've known him for a long time, man. I'm going to let him talk about himself. But I just want to say this is one Kool brother been hanging with us for a while, man. And very, very talented, man. What's his name? His name is Kool, man. Welcome Kool. What's up, man? What's up? What's up, man? How you doing, man? Pleasure. Pleasure to be here, man. I made it. I was late, but I made it. Yeah, you made it. That's what's up, man. Well, we're definitely, you know, happy that you had a chance to make it on now because I like I said, I know that traffic was crazy. L.A. traffic is no joke. But you here and you are looking for a chauffeur. Yeah, I'm looking for that's what the hard work. And that's how it's going to pay off. You're going to be able to get you a chauffeur. Yes, sir. No, maybe I ain't driving. You may even do the Kobe Bryant and come in on a helicopter. Exactly. I need that car that turns into a helicopter. Is that out yet? Not yet. No, no, no. I was supposed to be out. It's on the way. All right. Well, cool. Now, first of all, you know what? I do know that you go by a couple of names. Now, what name do you feel most comfortable with us hollering at you at? Why is it, you know, so many names kind of kind of go through that a little bit. Let us know what's going on with that man. Know how rappers are. Change their name every week. Seven different aliases. Puff Daddy. Change their name every. Actually, let's get it clear. I go by cool. K E W L. K E W L. But I'm cool like C double O L. Oh, I like that. OK, all right. All right. All right. Now, how did that name come about? Did you is that you did you give yourself that name? I used to go by production. I used to go by fat tracks, but it was already a lot of people out there with fat tracks to change it. So production wise, I go by the known. The known. And the known is the opposite, of course, of the unknown. OK, my symbol is a my symbol is a is a is a upside down question mark. OK, I thought you were about to say upside down cross, man. I was like, oh, man, you didn't join the Illuminati on us. OK, OK. So it's an upside down question mark, which basically symbolizes, you know, everything. Unknown. OK, OK. I'm the known. That's what's up now. Now, how did you everything opposite of unknown? I'm sorry. OK, now how did you get started? Now, what made you wake up one morning and say, you know what? I want to be a rapper. I want to do music. I want to be, you know, the next. OK, here's musically. I started out writing poetry. I think I even told you that other interviews started out writing poetry, poetry. Now, now, well, first of all, I'm sorry to interrupt you, but poetry. You know, did you start at a young age? Yeah. Like because I mean, you know, I used to write poems to my mom. You know, he tried to get some money. I'm buying the buying the gifts. I would just write a book. You can't know that's free. I like that. Some moms like that. Yeah. Yeah. What's up, man? Now, was it something was that your best way to let your feelings out? A lot of times, you know, people aren't comfortable with, you know, talking necessarily or expressing themselves, you know. So they have different ways to. Express themselves now. Was that a way for you to get your thoughts out? Definitely. That was that was a way of expression. And that was I think that was the beginning of actually who I felt like I wanted to be at a young age. Because when you're young, you don't really know where you're going. Right. Me writing poetry to mom was just like, OK, this is this is the beginning of my musical journey. Right. Right. I didn't even know it really. So it's like. I'm writing a poetry. I turn the poetry over to mom on special occasions or even not even special occasions. It was just just a way of expression, a way to way of getting out. Now, my my inner my inner thoughts, just putting it on paper. I'm better with paper. Now, when did you stop giving them to moms and start giving to the little girl? Yeah, that's what I need to know. You know, girls, when did I stop? When did I start? When did you start? Oh, I started. I think I know you. I was in high school. I know you ain't stopped. I was in high school. I ain't gonna tell you how long ago that was because I might give up my age. That wasn't something that you were holding on to. A lot of times people have talent, but, you know, they don't want to get in front of a crowd. They don't want to let anybody know that this is what they're doing, you know, in their room late at night. Me, I would write the poems, give it to the lady and then I would recite it. Oh, I recite it, too, because it's like, you know, if you put something on paper, sometimes it of course it translates. It translates into what you're saying. But some people don't know how to read poetry from from your perspective on how you would. Let me tell you how cool you would spit it. Give us an example. You remember any of the old ones? Uh, I remember. Oh, you got to remember the first one. That's old, though, man. That's high school. That's all right. That's all right. I was doing it in high school and I stopped it in high school. Oh, come on, Nick. Come on. What? Give me some of that high school flavor. I can spit that one. Go ahead. Go ahead. Go ahead. Go ahead. That joint where it was like, yeah, I hope you heard this one before. OK. OK. It's like, OK, baby girl, what's the deal with you? Let me spit something to you and be real with you. I really like your style when I love your smile. Ain't seen a chick like you around here in a while. And I know you probably got a man. I pray that you don't. But if you do, I know I got to come in a different approach. Like how you treat you, boo. Are you satisfied? When he tells you that he loves you, does he look you in the eyes? Look, I know it's hard just to trust me coming at you. But at least I'm coming at you with a respectable fashion. You know how these other cats, they be spitting their raps, making bets to their friends on how quick they can hit. That's petty to a real man. Hey, boo, you ready for a real man? Well, here he is in the flesh and blood. Hold my hand. You ain't got to be my woman and I ain't got to be your man. But for right now, Ma, let's become friends. Now, let me tell you, I know he had a lot of haters. I know you had haters because I would have been in the classroom like I would have been a hater. I would have been a hater. Exactly. Exactly. Well, you know what? Now, were you ever in a group? You know, because I mean, coming up, you know, you're a young cat. You're writing poetry. You're giving it to the ladies. The ladies are loving you. Did you know then that you want to be solo or did you, you know, kind of call your homies like, hey, man, let's start a group. You know what? You know, boys, men. I never was really I was in a group outside out of out of high school. Right. And I was in a little situation to where, you know, I almost had a distribution deal through a label out in Texas. Wow. And I was actually in a group with a cousin. It was we we we went by at the time I went by Fat because that was my nickname. Got you. So it was a group Fat and Kleazy. And we did we did a we did a we did a record together called Definition of a Gangsta where I was I was rapping. He he could sing and we won the show. They brought us in on the radio to present the song. We met a producer who reproduced the joint and then he shopped it to a label out in Texas that he was already connected to. All right. They loved it. They wanted more records. And we ended up. Yeah, we ended up shopping. First time hearing this one man. That's the first time I've been in this situation. I never heard this story. We actually met the cousin and now we actually you know, we we had this. We had disagreements on musically and we ended up falling apart. So that's why we didn't get the deal. But we I had a distribution deal in the works. And I had a production deal. Y'all fell out personal personal stuff. Yeah. Well, yeah. Over personal musical stuff. Yes. So so we the deal didn't go through. And that was back in that was maybe like in 2000. Wow. Yeah. So we're going to put together the whole album and have it distributed through this this independent label. I want to ask you something, though, man. You've been out here in Cali for a while, man, doing your thing. And you've seen how artists are out here and the industry as a whole. Looking at yourself and then the music and the competition that's potentially out there, what sets you apart from all the other rappers out there? I mean, what is it about cool? What is it about the music that would make the consumers want to go out and buy your product versus someone else's? I would say mostly from. Uniqueness. OK. I think production wise, I'm loving the production right now. But musically, not really feeling a lot of these dudes lyrically. Oh, I think. At least on where hip hop really came from. I fit into what hip hop was when it when it first came out, I was lyrical. I have what it takes to make it in the game. Now I'm relevant because, of course, I come from where I come from. I've been been out in the streets. I've been you know, I've seen corporate America. I've seen different sides of life. And I think. Me putting that all together. I could relate to a lot of different people and I keep it lyrical. OK, now who are some of your musical influences? Right. I mean, honestly, for me, even back then, though, no, back then that made you look up and say, I could do that. I'm better than him. You know what? For me, I was a big East Coast head because the East Coast East Coast cats were just more lyrical. They were killing it. I mean, he still they really are. So, of course, I was I was a heavy Nas fan. I was heavy. Woo. I mean, Ray Kwan. I still today is like one of my favorites. Of course, Jay was a Jay fan. Of course, Mobb Deep. I was an Onyx fan. OK, so so I get that. Kool Moe Dee. I get that. OK, I get that. And some of your music, you know, that that side of it where, you know, lyrics, you know, they go hard and play, but you also have the element of West Coast. You do. You have a lot of musical, you know, exactly influence in the music that was coming out of the bass line, so bass line, you know, saying the bass line. So when did you say, OK, I want the lyrical, you know, form of what's coming out of the East Coast, but I want the music that's coming out of the West. When did you decide that you want to merge the two because why not just go either one direction or the other? Well, I mean, honestly, to be truthful, it was. I. I try to implement all of the different. Areas into to my music, of course, I'm from Tennessee. Of course, I'm a lyrical do the West Coast musically. When and you saying when did I decide that was from the beginning, basically. OK, yeah, because everything that I did, I didn't really start out as a cat. That was like, oh, I'm an M.C. MPC kid to where I'm like, I produce strictly from an MPC and I chop up samples and I'm a sampler. Everything that I. I created since day one because I started out on the like a Yamaha PSR 350 to where that you have a looper on it. Right, right, right. So if I was creating a beat, I was playing that actually. For me, that's actually a four minute bass line, a four minute drum pattern, four minute strings, any other percussion, anything else. It was like for real. I was for real having to play. I got you. So I play keys a little bit. It's more sequences and sequencing. I was programming. But when I was producing, I was having to produce the hard way. So when it became digital and computer, it was just like, oh, I can take two bars. I can do this. Yeah. Hey, so it cool, man. You know, we got about ten minutes left because, you know, you was late. Yeah, I was late. OK, so for the people that was trying to call in and I mean, we was in chopping it up with my man. The number again is eight hundred eight nine three nine five six to call in and holler at your boy before he gets off the air. But I want to talk about your current project, uncontrollable tones. Talk about the cuts that you like on there, the process that you that you did, you know, to make this this album what it is and how people can pick it up. Man, OK, uncontrollable tones is an album where I produce. I produced it. I produced the whole album. Right. I had a couple of artists that I was with up and coming singers on the album. Yeah, I produce, wrote, mixed, mastered. I did pretty much the whole thing on the album. Yeah. Album is hot. Some of my favorite records on there is, let's see, all of them. No, you know, I got my favorite. The first joint you heard tonight was my voice is way with a dope singer on there. You want to name the singer or? Name the contract or? Yeah, he'd rather not. Yeah, I will. I could. And then the other joint was when I think about you, that was another joint where I'm just, you know, rapping, rapping to the ladies. Yeah, that's one of my joints. I don't rap no more. That's one of my hip hop joints. Would you be would you be afraid? You know, LL went out on a limb, you know, I need love, you know, back in the day, you know, and, you know, got criticized from some of the, you know, cats in the hip hop industry, but then later on it became popular to start talking to the ladies. Now, now what? What? Who are you trying to target? You know, with your music? I got one caller. I'm trying to target everybody pretty much. OK, all right. Well, you know what? Let's go ahead and go to the phone lines. I think we got a call waiting. So let's go to line number one. What's happening? Hello, what it do, man? Yeah, what's happening with this? Who is this? This is boy, Round Man. Round Man. Round Man. What's up, man? Round Man. What's happening with you, man? You're talking to Kool, man. We ain't got that much time, but, you know, you want to say something to him, man? Oh, yeah, man. I was listening to his interview, man, when he brought up that Yamaha, man. That PSO, man. You know about that joint, huh? Yeah, man, I had so many Yamahas, man. But that PSO kind of, you know, what kind of, you know, woke me up to go ahead and be a producer. Hey, real talk, man. That joint, it had some decent content to where it was like, you know, you could do something with it, but that not having that loop on there, man, that actually taught you, though. That taught you how to really do something. Now we got Round Man on the line. What are you calling from Round Man? They're out here in Dallas, Texas. Dallas, Texas is in the building. Young Slab. Did you hear Young Slab's music earlier, man? Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's my dog right there. I had to let him know. Now, Round Man is a producer also, so he can relate to, you know, the producer talk that's going on when Kool talks about, you know, the Yamaha and all the instruments that he used to get down with and all that kind of good stuff. So, Round Man, we're going to have to definitely have you up in here. Most definitely, man. I know you're coming out here pretty soon, so you'll be a guest on the show, man. But I appreciate you calling in, man. We always appreciate your love, man. From Kool, man. I know you appreciate it, man. Yes, sir, man. Thanks for calling. I've been speaking with my boy, man. We've got to get together and collab on something, man. Just ain't had a chance to do it yet. Let's do it, man. That's what I'm talking about. Let's do this. Well, all right, Round Man, man. I appreciate you for calling us, man. We appreciate you, man. We're from the grid and moving on, man. But, man, you always show love, man. Thanks. We appreciate you, man. All right, man. All right, man. All ready. All right, peace. All right, man. So, there he is, my boy, man. Well, speaking of, you know, he kind of bought up, you know, maybe collaborating with you. So, I was wondering, you know, are there any artists that, you know, if I had a magical phone. If I had the magical phone. Oh, yeah. Everybody in the industry is on this phone. Everybody. And you head into the studio and all I got to do is make a phone call and they're going to meet you in the studio. Right. So, it can be either somebody who has a big influence on music. It can be a producer. It could be a rapper. Who would be the first person you would want me to call? Yeah. He got to. You on the way to the studio. It doesn't matter. John Red Wise, right? John Red Wise. No, no, no. Come on, man. You're universal anyway. Hands down, Kendrick Lamar. Whoa. Is that right? Kendrick, huh? I got to get with that cat, man. Oh, okay. That'd be a hell of a collab-o. Yeah. I think he would bring to the table, of course, what he has to offer. And I think he would bring something out in me musically that might be tucked under. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. You know what I mean? And I want to get this one out, okay? You've been doing this for a minute, man. I've been watching you. You've been doing your thing, man. He's grown.

You're grown. Okay. All right. What is the best advice someone has given you up until this time right now? And what advice would you give someone else trying to come up in the business? Boom! The best advice that I've been given, honestly, is to perfect your craft. Okay. And stick with it. Because me not perfecting my craft, I wouldn't have the product. Right. Okay. I got you. You know what I mean? I got you. So I think that, honestly, that's the best advice. Okay. Now, you know what? Just real quick. You said sticking with it. You know, I know it's ups and downs. Right. You know, in the industry. Sometimes you own it. You're like, okay, things are moving. And other times, it's slow motion. You know? And I know doing that slow motion time, you get discouraged and all that kind of good stuff. What is it that keeps you motivated to want to continue to pursue your dreams? Honestly? Honestly? Honestly, I'm motivated just because music is part of me. Moves you. All right. It moves you. There's no way. Let's say, when I had systems issues, I'm dealing with systems issues right now. Yeah, yeah. Right, right, right. When I'm down systems-wise, if I'm down musically, I'm not feeling it. Or if I have a hiatus from music, that affects my soul. Right, right, right. Because music is such a part of who I am. If I don't have it, I don't want to live, honestly. Boy, you'll see. Boy, you'll see. Boy, you deep. I'm motivated just on music, period. Now, what would you be doing? I have to have it. So, if you weren't doing this, what could you picture yourself doing? Could you picture yourself doing anything else? I can't see myself doing anything else. Look at you. Look at you. That's what I'm talking about. Yeah. That's what I like to hear, man. Because you know all the people who come over and say, I'd be a sanitation worker. I'd be swinging on the back of that truck.
