Speaker 1:

I was talking to somebody from the DMV who I guess we would consider a vet, and he was saying that it's something about DMV niggas. That's self-sabotage, and I was like nah nigga, not me.

Speaker 2:

Not me bro.

Speaker 1:

Not me. But yo what the fuck is that? Because I do feel like there is something about being from the DMV that feels like a self-sabotage.

Speaker 2:

It could be coincidence, but it could be another thing. It's like a self-sabotage. It could be coincidence, but it could be another thing. Like it's like a lot of the people back home. It's not even a lot of the people, it's everybody back home. It's kind of like like they say it's a crabs in a bucket type mentality. When you make it out, it's like a lot of people, instead of being like yeah, that's the nigga that made that. Yeah, he doing this. Now he over here. Yeah bro, I used to know that nigga bro, that nigga bro I used to be. Yeah bro, I know his girl bro.

Speaker 1:

I went to school with him.

Speaker 2:

I went to school with him, bro. Like he ain't all that? Yeah, bro, he still be. You know what I'm saying? It's just a lot of hatin'. What's up y'all? It's Junie Mento Deluxe out. Now. What to talk? That's when I'm caught up in the middle of it. Now, bro, I'm about to get the fuck on with it.

Speaker 1:

Are you really?

Speaker 2:

Yeah, I'm about to go to LA. I'm about to go to LA, for sure.

Speaker 1:

I feel like you should have been in LA. You've been in LA I just like you have been in LA, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 2:

I've spent time in LA. I've spent two months at a time, but I'm back home is so cool because you know it keeps a nigga grounded, first of all, and two like you know you got fam over there, you got people over there, you know you get the love over there and shit.

Speaker 2:

You know I'm saying and it's like it's fun to go out to la work, do what you gotta do and then come back and then you know, just, you know, chill or like plot I think, of back home is like the plotting you know we plotting, you know we, we planning this shit, and then we go out to LA and really spank them and shit you know.

Speaker 1:

I agree, I think being home is a good reset.

Speaker 2:

But you've been out. You've been out, I mean you've been out of home.

Speaker 1:

I've been gone 10 years, 10 years.

Speaker 2:

How you like. What's the journey like?

Speaker 1:

For me.

Speaker 2:

Yeah.

Speaker 1:

Hard as hell. New York is hard as fuck.

Speaker 2:

New York seems like you got to be on it all the time. La. It seems like you could chill for a little bit.

Speaker 1:

I think I would like LA. I hear a lot of people move to LA and get depressed and shit like that. I moved here and got depressed, so I don't know, you never spent time in LA. I did during the pandemic.

Speaker 2:

Oh, okay, I liked it. You liked it, I was in A lot yeah, Okay, okay, okay. Noho was a little ghetto at times.

Speaker 1:

Not a little ghetto. I did see some shit. Honestly pimp culture is really real in LA. Oh yeah for sure. That was my first time really experiencing a pimp in a hole and a pimp, you know.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, like pimp name slip back.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, that was new for me. A lot of niggas.

Speaker 2:

that's how they make their money out there I see yeah, different culture and woman.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, you don't see that shit in Maryland.

Speaker 2:

You probably, well, probably, like in the underground rings of you know whatever.

Speaker 1:

Somewhere in Laurel where I don't need to be.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, facts, so I feel like it would be in Laurel, if it's anywherever yeah, somewhere over there Fucking Camp Springs like shit.

Speaker 1:

Man, but all right. So yeah, new York has been what it's been, but I don't regret it. That's good. Yeah, I don't regret it.

Speaker 2:

I mean shit, look, you got the studio producing and shit, you, you. You know people tell you this all the time, but you, being a black woman, from where we from, and shit you doing everything you do and everything that you got now and the fan base and all of the content that you put out, you one of them. I got to give you your props For real. Thank you, junie.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, appreciate that we see it, we see it. People don't know I'm from Maryland. Actually, yeah, appreciate that, we see it. We see it. You know people don't know I'm from Maryland. Actually, like nobody they be like you're from Maryland. I'm like people think I'm from New York.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, because you know you spend a lot of time here.

Speaker 1:

I don't talk like I'm from New York, I don't even. I mean, I don't really talk like I'm from Maryland either, because I had just interviewed J Juan Jadakiss' son.

Speaker 2:

Oh really, he was like New York niggas think they started.

Speaker 1:

I mean not New York. He said DC niggas think they started Nike boots and New Balances. We've been on Nike boots and New Balances and then I was just like I can't have this conversation with you because you know uptown niggas be hella passionate.

Speaker 2:

If we're being fair, it was probably around the same time that they got popular in New York and DC. I don't even want to give it to them, because a lot of New York niggas was coming down, tapping in with DMV sauce. You seen Payton.

Speaker 1:

Fool yeah.

Speaker 2:

Payton Fool is a private example. Yeah, you know, I tell all some niggas in DC. I ain't telling on nobody in Harlem though that nigga Cameron. Yeah, no, you right.

Speaker 1:

Jay-Z got Emory, everybody got one, everybody got one that keeps them, you know, sauced. But that's just my little take on it. But what's going on, guys? And welcome to another episode of we Need to Talk. I am Nyla Simone with a very special guest. All the way from the DMV, I got Junie in the building.

Speaker 2:

What's up with y'all man?

Speaker 1:

How are you, we doing?

Speaker 2:

good, we doing good, we doing good, we putting out this deluxe, we happy, we living, we blessed.

Speaker 1:

Love that Came through in the good AV.

Speaker 2:

Come on, I got that AV.

Speaker 1:

Yes.

Speaker 2:

You know I'm trying.

Speaker 1:

It's only right you're in New York right now. It's only right I'm in New York, you know I had to come baggy on them. I love it.

Speaker 2:

So it's been what know? You've been fucking on tour, yeah, tour. I think I went on two tours since three low key. Three, two and a half. Yeah, I did my own little solo tour too, but Fire.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, man, I did the Lil Tjay tour, the Lancey Fo tour and I did my solo tour too. Yeah, I've learned a lot of friends who make music and you know, sometimes I'll get brought out to a concert, you know they'll. You know, let me do a song, you know bring me out on stage, and I see the difference in people's fan bases.

Speaker 1:

Like.

Speaker 2:

Brent, for example, you know all black woman you know, like Brent, for example, you know all black woman, you know lighters up.

Speaker 2:

You know type shit like singing like everybody, shit like that. But then you go to a Lansi tour and that shit, like it's turnt, it's fucking white kids tying their shirts around their forehead like bandanas, fucking swinging their shirts around like trying to get it. So you know, you know. That being said, it's just cool to see like the differences and shit like that. Yeah, I definitely learned. You know. Okay, for this crowd I'm doing this at least yeah for this crowd.

Speaker 1:

I'm doing this at least, so I would say what would you say? Your crowd would be like what do you think juni brings? See?

Speaker 2:

that's what's so interesting. I really think it depends on the city, because I think my music is so versatile that it translates to my fans. My fans are so versatile. I got you know. I got you know fans that love me for my singing shit sometimes. And you know, um, I got you know fans back home in Maryland that might like my rapping shit more. And then I got you know female fans that might like my R&B love songs more. And you know, it just depends on the city. Like in this city is there more females that listen to my music or is there more people that like to sing in more? Is it more of a hard? So it's different. But I will say to Grupa Marlin if you're a fan of Junie, then most likely you're a music nerd. Most likely, or you really like music, you're the type of dude to find the related artists on Spotify and then check that guy out.

Speaker 1:

And then check the next guy out. I agree with that. You're like into that shit Because knowing Junie, I feel like it's like knowing the gym.

Speaker 2:

You ain't hit the Junie Type shit. Yeah, yeah, yeah, it's like Diamond in the Rough type, like people that love finding the diamond in the rough. You know, I agree with that.

Speaker 1:

It's a flex to know. If you don't know now you do yeah. I mean, that's true, you know what? That being said, what would you say? Is a Junie starter? Pack Like these are the three to five records that you got to know by Junie.

Speaker 2:

I got you. I say Misery. Misery is my favorite song I made recently. I'll probably say that Misery, off top, drifting to Tokyo, you got to give them a little bit of everything you got. Maybe like, yeah, okay, I say Misery, drifting to Tokyo, drugs and Fashion. Help me out. J-wop, oh shit.

Speaker 1:

The Junies Starter Pack.

Speaker 2:

Everything, oh yeah everything. Everything that's a little R&B, little love joint, super lovey-dovey vibe Last one we got the last one. On that Shit, probably. Ah no, not On that Shit. I'll say 21, 21. So you get the DMV. He's flowing there too. I like that. Why? On that shit, probably, ah no, not on that shit, I'll say 21. 21.

Speaker 1:

So you get the DMV flow in there too. I like that. Why you say Misery is your favorite, most recent one.

Speaker 2:

Actually, when I think about it, it's not even that recent. I think I made it 2021. But Misery's my favorite. I just think that's the most. I feel like it's the most one out of the box. Two un, the most one out of the box. Two, unorthodox and three, um, it's just like it's really those two things. It's unorthodox and it's just, you know, original. You know what I'm saying and I feel like coming into music and creating music, that's what I wanted to be when I was 13 and I started making this shit. You know what I'm saying because, as, as humans, you know what do we like? We like new things, we like shiny things, we like state-of-the-art things and you know, it's like something like misery is kind of like a new genre, and I feel like I always came into music with that want to. You know, make something new, make something shiny, make something that people be like oh, what's this Like shiny. Make something that people be like oh, what's this like that?

Speaker 1:

look, that's cool type shit.

Speaker 2:

So yeah, I say, misery encapsulates all of that. You know what I'm saying I like that.

Speaker 1:

I will say a lot of people say this like, oh, hip-hop is dying, but it's really like just hip-hop is sounding different and I think it's really um, becoming more just genre bending, right, hell, yeah, you know what I'm saying. Yeah, you're like I'm right at the forefront, exactly.

Speaker 2:

It's definitely and it's a beautiful thing, bro. I really love where music's going and I feel like that's what we need. You know what I'm saying Music. I was having a conversation with a homie the other day and we was all like, yeah, mainstream music is actually really good.

Speaker 2:

Now there was a point in time I don, I don't know maybe five, six years ago, where a lot of that was, you know, coming up on the radio and that just wasn't good or it was watered down. But now you know, with more, you know people in my generation coming to the forefront of mainstream, you know, from, whether it be tick tock or social media, whatever, you know, whether it's somebody like pink panthers or even a likeATS, you know. But it's like shit is getting good. Now. You know what I'm saying. And it's because all of that other shit that was, you know, I guess, at the top of the food chain, maybe four or five years ago. It's watered down. You know, like, think about it. Trap. They say trap music is the most like, like. This is the longest any type of music has been at the front Of a genre For a minute.

Speaker 1:

You know what I'm saying? Trap is the longest.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, trap is like, bro, it's been a long time yeah it's been like what 20 years 20 years of trap.

Speaker 1:

You know what I'm saying yeah, it's evolved, though.

Speaker 2:

It went from like Backpack trap To like I just mean like Well, actually, like I'll say like 10-. You know, from Jeezy, yeah, from like Jeezy Future, early Future Jeezy.

Speaker 1:

Future Like 2010, 2011. Then Migos.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, then Migos, and then you know, everybody else came in.

Speaker 1:

It hasn't been a long ass time you know, hi-hats are everywhere.

Speaker 2:

Like hi-hats is literally pop.

Speaker 1:

Trap is now pop music, in a way to be the next sound that's taking over um, I think there's not going to be a sound.

Speaker 2:

I think it's going to be like. I think music and people that listen to music nowadays they're leaning more towards like, because nowadays, when you ask somebody, what type of music do you listen to, nine times out of ten they're going to be like oh, I listen to everything, I listen to anything that sounds good. That's true. So I feel like I feel like, you know, it's a reflection of where music's kind of headed now. It's like we're headed in a direction where, like you know people that listen to music is nobody's into one thing nowadays, everybody's into anything you know, as long as it sounds good. So I can't really say this genre is gonna, is gonna, uh take over take over.

Speaker 1:

You know what I'm saying fair enough if I had to put my money on anything. I'm feeling something in the afrobeat.

Speaker 2:

I'm a piano world yeah but honestly I feel like everybody they've been having a moment afrobeat since, like you know, past three years they've been having a moment yeah, hell yeah, burn a boy with tyler tim's like it's funny because afrobeats wasn't really in the mainstream like four years ago at all and now it's like sometimes we forget that you know what I'm saying. So, yeah, no, you got a point.

Speaker 1:

You got a point, man I'd be saying that, especially like in the dmv growing up, if you do go to a party, they play like five. Everyone falls in love, sometimes Action, you know, like now it's like you go to parties, it's a whole hour set.

Speaker 2:

It's the whole yep, yep.

Speaker 1:

So it's funny watching just the tide turn. But I know you about to drop this deluxe for Mementos Yep Mementos.

Speaker 2:

Memento.

Speaker 1:

Talk to me about the deluxe. Who can we expect on it?

Speaker 2:

So, yeah, I got you, I got you. So, yeah, I'm dropping the Deluxe for my EP Memento. I'm kind of like finishing the thought of the original Memento. We got six new songs and, yeah, we got one feature on it. It's Blast. He's on a Focus record called I know, yes, shout out blast. You know, we recently just did a partnership with him in Red Bull and yeah, so, um, it's gonna be great. We got six new songs for the people. I know it's been a minute since, uh, since I let some go, since, like October really been like six months. So, um, it's gonna be good. You know, it's good, it's going to be great. We got the single dropping on the 22nd March 22nd.

Speaker 1:

Oh, that's this week or next week? Yeah, this week.

Speaker 2:

Friday, yeah, Friday. So it's going to be lit.

Speaker 1:

Working with Blast, because I know Blast, though he's an artist, he's also a producer.

Speaker 2:

Facts yeah, people don't know that actually, um, so, pretty much, I made this record. I made this record at a camp. It was actually at the camp for, uh, that new brent, uh, the new brent record, the uh, the one where, uh, I'm not forgetting the name, but it's the one where the shoe was, you know crushing la larger than life larger than life.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, I'm blanking out. Yeah, larger than life. I made it at that camp. Um sat on it for like a couple months. You know, uh, we were, uh, I was around the time we were inking the deal with, uh, red bull and blast and all that stuff. So, you know, fast forward. I sent him the record. I'm like yo, I got this. I don't know if you want to fuck with it, but he sent it back like same day, next day, and I'm like, oh yeah oh yeah, that's the one, yeah so I'm like so, uh, so yeah, I got him in that, in that vibe, but I mean speaking about how blast makes music.

Speaker 2:

You know blast is, um, I'm in that vibe, but I mean speaking about how Blast makes music. You know Blast is. He has that LA sound on lock right and I think you know the reason he gravitated towards me is because you know he wants to kind of get out Not necessarily get out, but he wants to challenge himself. He's in a bag right now where he's really focused on the music like more than he's ever been, you know, strictly on the music and not anything else. So I've been helping him just get in a different bag recently. So I can't really put a genre on the bag that he's been in recently, but I've just been trying to get him out the box.

Speaker 1:

That's actually exciting to hear. Both of you guys are chill. Yeah, we chill.

Speaker 2:

We chill.

Speaker 1:

Love the music, music and you're right, he definitely has like West Coast sound on lock, but it's not like because West Coast can be a bit too West Coast, where I feel like Blast just got the right amount of bounce.

Speaker 2:

Facts yeah, he got like a.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, and this one was like a poppy, it's a pop too.

Speaker 2:

It's like a poppy, it's a pop too. You know what I'm saying? It's pop, it's like it's fun, you know, it's like you know. Barbecue shit, you know.

Speaker 1:

Family shit sometimes too. Would you and Blast do a project together? I know you've been talking about doing a collab tape. Would it be Blast?

Speaker 2:

I'm doing a collab tape with somebody right now. I'll say that that's what we're working on in the background. It's not blast, okay, I'm not gonna say right now, but it's somebody who the folks people have. People have seen me work with this person before and um, it's a dmv collab no, it's not whoa okay is it.

Speaker 1:

Would you tell me if I guess it right? I'll tell you off air, all right all right, I can't tell you on the air, okay, okay, but collab tape on the way. Wait so you drop in deluxe. We all right, I ain't going to do it. I can't tell you on the air, okay, okay, but collab tape, I'll do it. Wait. So you're dropping Deluxe.

Speaker 2:

So right now we're doing the Deluxe and then we're doing a collab tape that's dropping June, july with that artist and then we're doing a big album Silent Battles 2, that's coming out like quarter four. Silent Battles 2, that's coming out like quarter four. You know, maybe top of next year that's really going to be the one. You know, that's the one that we've been saving all the best, best music for. You know we've been saving all like for the past two years. So we really we putting everything into that. That's like my baby, like my magnum opus, dark fantasy type, you know.

Speaker 1:

Damn for real, yeah Two years in the making.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, so we trying to set it up correct. You know what I'm saying. Like everything thus far in my career has kind of been winging it in a sense. You know we plan stuff but we plan it within the parameters of kind of winging it sometimes you know, but this time we kind of you know we taking it.

Speaker 2:

This is the first year where we planned out the whole year in advance and you know we sticking to our guns and we making sure we do the shit the right way, because we got a lot of talent in our camp and you know it's time to do that shit the right way, yeah.

Speaker 1:

Hell to be winging it. You're doing a damn good job. I got to be honest.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, I'm trying my best.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, and I mean I always see you just outside. In general, you work with a lot of different camps. I see you just outside. In general, you work with a lot of different camps. I guess what would you say has been some of your favorite camps to work with, or who have you learned the most from? Because I see you in studios with a lot of people, from OGs to new people, that people aren't really familiar with.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, facts, yeah, I'm in love with music, I'm a music nerd, I'm a music lover. So for me to have this job and be able to work with other amazing, talented artists, that's just. You know, that shouldn't mean the world to me, but I'll say, like you know, brent, you know one like I learned from him, like how to stack my vocals better, you know, or how to like how to just sing, because I hear him sing in the booth and I'm like, okay, that's how he does it, like you know. And I see him and his engineer like they, they locked in, they, they like synergize, they like they on the same page, and I'm like, oh, okay, okay.

Speaker 1:

so you know, brent, for sure it's important to find your, your engineer.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, oh like that's a real thing. You know, I'm still I'm an engineer. Thought I'll just be pulling up like yo. Like yo, you got an engineer. Yeah, bro, tell him pull up like I don, you got an engineer. Yeah, bro, tell him to pull up Like I don't have an engineer right now. You know what I'm saying. I'm working with whoever, but that's definitely something I plan to add to the team, like you know, soon. But yeah, brent, in the singing I'll say you know, I've learned who else, bro, who else have I worked with recently? You know, I learned from off the top of my head. Damn, I work with a lot of people.

Speaker 1:

You do work with a lot of people. I'm blinging.

Speaker 2:

Thing is, though, I'll say this and this is the most like un-egotistical thing I'm saying in that way, like really I'm not trying to, you know, sound like anything, but I feel like a lot of people come into the studio with me, kind of you know, we learn it from each other, but a lot of the time it's like you know, they want to learn from me as well. You know what I'm saying. Like I work with a lot of people that everybody I've ever worked with in the studio they admire me, you know, but you know they wouldn't want to work with me if they didn't. So you know, a lot of the times, you know, I'm kind of teaching them shit.

Speaker 1:

You know, so yeah, you know, so I don't you know, fair enough, all right. Yeah, so we're gonna play a game called questions that need answers.

Speaker 2:

Oh shit.

Speaker 1:

All you got to do is fill in the blank. Oh shit All right. The older I get, the less I blank.

Speaker 2:

The older I get, the less I spend money stupidly.

Speaker 1:

That's a good one.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, fuck that. I'm paying the bills, I'm saving the rest. I don't give a fuck About none of that.

Speaker 1:

I got all that shit Out of my system. Did you learn the hard way?

Speaker 2:

Yeah, I learned the hard way. Yeah, yeah, yeah, shout out to the IRS. Yeah, for real, though.

Speaker 1:

It's a rite of passage.

Speaker 2:

I feel like it's a rite of passage Young nigga getting money, 20 years old getting a six figure, you like, yeah, yeah. Shout out to them, niggas man.

Speaker 1:

IRS is no fucking joke, but all right, I can't believe I actually blinked when I was younger.

Speaker 2:

I can't believe. I actually. I can't believe. I actually almost failed in ninth grade.

Speaker 1:

Damn.

Speaker 2:

Not just start just off as just laziness though, like, just like, not like being on my phone or just doodling or smacking the back of somebody head or some shit like it's fucking. Come on, misfit. Yeah, I was a misfit, I got it. I got it together, though you know, I got it together. Tenth grade.

Speaker 1:

I'm a little embarrassed by the fact that I know so little about blank.

Speaker 2:

I'm a little embarrassed at the fact that I know so little about. I'm a little embarrassed that I know so little about. I'm a little embarrassed that I know so little about. I'm a pretty well-rounded guy. I'm not going to lie, All right.

Speaker 1:

I'm going to throw some things out there, throw something at me Girls.

Speaker 2:

Girls.

Speaker 1:

Politics.

Speaker 2:

Wait, what about Like?

Speaker 1:

what First?

Speaker 2:

Oh, oh, what you knew more about, oh okay, okay, okay, okay, Keep going, keep going Politics. I've been really actually into global politics recently.

Speaker 1:

Really.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, I watch YouTube videos on global politics. I read articles and shit. And it's not stressing you out, it's interesting to me Stressing out. I mean we probably should all be stressed about shit like that. But, that shit's just interesting.

Speaker 1:

I like learning about the tensions between countries and what they're fighting over, and why and shit, do you feel like we need to pack it up and move, or I?

Speaker 2:

feel like maybe moving back to Ethiopia might not be a bad idea in five, six years. You know what I'm saying. You know Russia, china and shit. You know they don't fuck with us. I don't want to say that, but keep going, keep going.

Speaker 1:

I'd be scared. I ain't going to lie.

Speaker 2:

Art. Yeah, yeah, I'll say I don't know much About like artists and shit Like painting. Yeah, you know shit like I don't know. I know what's the nigga name Da Vinci. That's all Picasso Picasso, no Picasso Picasso.

Speaker 1:

I'm getting into art. That's my new.

Speaker 2:

Really.

Speaker 1:

Like new I guess, hobby I guess.

Speaker 2:

I've been into film and like recently filming, like learning about different directors and shit like that that's been my vibe recently what sparked that?

Speaker 1:

is it the music videos, or is it just like?

Speaker 2:

oh, I think it's like, because recently I've been um well one, I think, like me being in this sphere of like art for so long, music being art, like my palate is growing every year. So, like, I start seeing shit, you know, I see, like the art and everything so like, and sometimes I feel like, you know, I make music and music is, you know, it's vibes you create, you, you literally create vibes. You know vibrations, vibes, you know what I'm saying. But I'm starting to see, like you know, storytelling is really, it's the, it's the, it's the highest form of art, and not only storytelling, but storytelling through visuals.

Speaker 2:

Because, because, when you think about how far technology could go in this day and age, like how far humans have got, like we can make moving pictures, like literally how we see the world, we could put that on a screen and let people tell a story. I feel like that's the most, like it's the pinnacle of art. You know what I'm saying. I feel like it's more most, like it's the pinnacle of art. You know what I'm saying. I feel like it's it's it's more impactful than music and I feel like getting into, like me, just thinking about why I do music and why I love it. I see the parallels between like movies.

Speaker 2:

I'm like, damn, this is like my love for music, like I see the same thing, except music I mean movies is even better, because you can see the shit too, like you can see, see it, feel it, all that shit Tell a story, I think that makes sense. You know what?
