Transcript

SPEAKER_05 1:22

The bringer of life. The bringer of unimaginable joy. The cause of catastrophic destruction. Knowing that you have something so powerful, wouldn't you want the best to take care of it? Pardon me for saying this. I am just a humble announcer. But if I had a coochie, I'd probably get it waxed at Cheyenne's Waxing Studio on 830 Elmwood Ave. You have power in between your legs. So why not have it taken care of by the best?

SPEAKER_02 1:57

Hello, BMP listeners. This is the Buffalo Music Players Podcast, and I'm Benjamin Joe. And I'm X. And with us today is a great rapper. I think you guys, like you all should know his name. He is uh 31 Slime from 31. Would you like to introduce yourself? Yeah. Hey, what's good? 31 Slime. We in it.

SPEAKER_03 2:17

And then we also made Tom.

SPEAKER_02 2:19

We're really excited having you here. Um, you're not only a rapper, but you do you do the recording for all your own um all your own music. It's all original. Um I've gotta ask you, like, how do you feel about using auto-tuning? Is it something that like you like using or is it something that like like that you dove into when you found out about it?

SPEAKER_01 2:38

Yeah, like like you know, I use Reaper. Like that's the uh that's the doll I use. So it's kind of funny because at first I didn't have the right one. Like there's so many different types, right? But like I'm really for it. Like I'm all I'm all for it. Like a lot of my music does have it in it. Like sometimes I might exaggerate it like crazy, and other times it just might be subtle enough just to match the key and stuff like that.

SPEAKER_02 3:04

It sounds good. Everything I've heard from you has been amazing. I've been trolling his Instagram page pretty frequently, listeners, and um, I'm just amazed by the instrumentals of production that you have behind your voice. Oh, yeah. And I really wanted to know like whether you were doing that on your own or if you had anybody else that you shout out for that.

SPEAKER_01 3:20

Yeah, well, uh, so boom. So yeah, I do a good majority, but I do work with Don Taylor. He goes by yeah, I think you go by Donnie Sims now. And um we we were we were like it's not a group, but we were like in a collective label called Tri Riches Once Upon a Time. So, like, you know, I like I'm like, yo, you know, I could do it, but like sometimes he'll just he'll just be there, so he'll just do it. You know, so where do you do a lot of your recording? I'm known to do it anyway, like I'm known to set up shops anywhere. It doesn't matter closets, bedrooms, yeah. Closets, bedrooms, different studio. As long as I have a mic, these headphones and my computer, it don't matter. Wow. That's that's the bare bones of what we need. Yeah. What do you use to make beats with system use? Okay, yeah. So I don't do beats. I'm just the audio engineer. Okay. Yeah, so if you got a song that people want to do, then that's where I come in. I do manipulate beats through my dog. Gotcha. And I do have uh FL Studio, but I kind of let that go just so I can focus more on my mixing and my artistry. Gotcha. Yeah, yeah, because my friends are producers and they're like, Yeah, why would you put those drums with these type of snares? They're different. I'm like, does it matter? They like, yeah. So I'm like, fuck that. Like I don't I don't have time, it's too much. I don't even like making beats for people. Yeah, you know what I'm saying? But you can do it, like absolutely. Yeah, I that I was actually a producer first. Okay. Yeah, like I was uh what what got you tired of it doing you were like, fuck it, I'm not doing this anymore. Cause there's gotta be a story. Yeah. So I was in, like, so I'm engineering at my grandma's house. Man, that's where people who know know that's like the that was spot, right? And this guy, he's like, Yeah, man, hey, you you make beats, so I want you to make me a beat, and I want you to record me. Yeah, and I'm making a beat, and I'm like, bro, I'm botching this beat, but he's loving the beat. Okay. Then he raps on it, but like the beat was alright, but then it was like he wasn't alright. And I'm spending like five hours, I'm getting paid, but I'm like, yeah, this miserable. Like, you know, I hate being miserable, so I'm like, oh yeah, this is the last day. Okay. And that day, like, you know, when I'm with my friends and they're making beats, like I'll I'll hop in and I'll put some, you know, put my twist on it, but nah, it's not it's not that deep, you know, for me. Yeah, plus time. Yeah. Plus fucking time. Like, yo, if if they can make a good beat faster than I can, then that's cool. You know what I'm saying? If it fits in my price range, then I'm with that. Because now I'm trying to build a fan base with producers. Like, so I got people on Instagram hit me up every day, every day, every day. Like, yo, I got beats, I got beats. I listen and I I actually do listen to these people's beats, and I'm like, okay, I like these beats, they want bread. I'm like, okay, you're gonna have to wait on the bread, but I'm gonna get back to it. I I'm not, I ain't gonna drop it until I give them what they need, you know what I'm saying? But like that builds a good community. I like I said earlier, before we were gone, it's about building that community with people like uh like yeah, I can make a song. I can still somebody get off YouTube and drop it, but like paying them, putting them a part of it, then they they got their own thing that they're doing with their own fan base. So now it's like we're merging. Yeah, you know, so now instead of me just promoting it, he promotes his people from what I got this one dude from Russia or something. He making beats. So when I you know pay him and we do a song, now people from Russia is listening. I don't even know they can speak English or listen or even understand. That's how I'm starting to see that it works in the real world, like not just being a fan of music, like really being a part of it now. Wow. That's amazing.

SPEAKER_02 7:03

Yeah. Now you said you were born in Buffalo, but uh but you grew up like everywhere, I'm guessing. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So that um did that affect like your you're coming into music and stuff like that, do you think, or like your way of looking at it at the world and stuff like that? Thank you so much. By the way, we are here at uh the cafe at Amy's and uh Sime here just grabs up a sandwich. Absolutely. I got this BLT. Yeah, seriously, how does how does that how does that affect like childhood, the the old the backstory to what you're doing now?

SPEAKER_01 7:34

Yeah, man. So about my backstory, yeah. I was born here, 99, sister's hospital. And then like as soon as um, as soon as I was like one, like we moved straight to Georgia, like, and we were there for like three years, then we moved to Cali for four years, then we moved to Maryland for two, then we were in Buffalo for a short period of time in like my fifth grade, you know? And um, that was hard, like that was hard because I wasn't I wasn't the person I am when I came back again. So like you know, that time it was like it was a lot of bullying, it was a lot of like just I wasn't understanding anything here. Like I didn't understand it. You couldn't just go to the like and like I'm from the military base, like you know, there's parks everywhere. We can walk three miles to the park and come back home at 10 p.m. Yeah, it's like a typical bubble. It's on it's just on bubbles. So coming here to Buffalo, we was living on Fillmore near MLK Park, but it's like okay, we can't really just go to MLK Park. Now we just got this, yeah, we just got a street to play on a sidewalk to play on. Like that's crazy. You know what I'm saying? Wow, culture. Yeah, yeah. And then like the people, I'm different than the people here. Yeah, especially in elementary school. Well, you probably had a lot more discipline, right? I was crazy. I was like, Okay, like I ain't gonna lie, my parents did great, but like I was an asshole. Yeah, I was an asshole, but like when it came to just school and just everybody here just feel like maybe people's parents didn't watch them as much. You know what I'm saying? Like it's just everybody's busy, dizzy, busy shit. It was like 2008, 2000, 2012, you know, like you gotta think where people's parents were. They were broke as fuck, yeah, like nine times out of ten with the uh how the government was going through. Yeah, the recession of the house. All that shit affects kids, right? Yeah, so but I'm like I'm thinking that now. It's a oh it's like a foreshadow. Yeah. So um, fifth grade, then we moved back to Georgia. So now I'm in high school and I'm in Georgia, and I spent like a good majority of my time there. And then I was working, I got kicked out the house. Oh kicked out the house, yeah. It happens, yeah, yeah. I got kicked out, but like I it wasn't their fault. Like, I stole something from the store on base and they kicked me off post. It kicked me off post, and I'm like, damn, what y'all gonna do? My parents like, well, what can we do for you? Yeah, I'm like, I don't know. Like, this is my crib. So I wasn't really uh wasn't really living with my parents. Like I was living with their friends, and I was just well with my friends. It's like the first time I got into drinking, I seen people smoking, and then this one guy at my job, he's like, Yeah, I'm about to go home and make some music. I said, How you gonna do that? He's like, Yeah, I got I got the setup in the crib. He had like a Yeti microphone. Oh, yo, and I still talk to him to this day. I gotta really pull up his name because I I feel like not good not saying his name right now, man. Yeah, so you got into the good stuff by kind of getting into the bad stuff. Oh, absolutely. So many important people at that time, man, and it's like just so crazy. Because now seeing him just recording me in his bedroom, like the mix was alright. And I wish I could find that song now, but that transpired something in my mind. Yeah, I don't have to spend so much money to go and do it when I can do this from the crib. Yeah, yeah. That changed everything. He changed my whole life, man.

SPEAKER_05 10:57

Like, did um did getting into music kind of set you in the straight and narrow? Like you said, you used to do some like bad stuff. Did it kind of like focus you? Like, all right, now I don't have to do so much bullshit so I can make some music, or did you keep doing the bullshit for a while before you're gonna do it?

SPEAKER_01 11:10

Yeah, no, like I mean that's a good question, because you know I'm sure I'm trying to think about how everything was going. And I wasn't like a badass kid, like I'm doing crazy illegal stuff. Yeah, I just acted out and you know, like I just I just said how I feel. Yeah. And like as I got older, I just got better with um utilizing my tools available. Like I can still express how I feel just in an appropriate way. Yeah. That's what that's what that's what 16 and 18 was all a fucking about. Like, like I like I had a spectrum, and then I ended up cursing out the HR person and then cursing out the big boss. Oh, okay. And then like a few days later, I got fired, you know? But it was like a temper problem. Like I just peep weird stuff. Like, you know, when weird things happen to you, you got you can express yourself, you know. Oh, for real. Yeah, absolutely. But there's certain ways that I had to learn how to do it, especially in environments. Yeah, not cursing out your boss, yeah. Cursing out my boss, and now I can never work there ever again. Oh no.

SPEAKER_02 12:17

You mean you won't be at the other end of my line when I'm asking how to go hook up my Wi-Fi? Absolutely not.

SPEAKER_01 12:23

Absolutely not. But um I feel a lot better about my phone call, ability. No, yeah, my customer rating was five stars. I'm a great people person. I bet, yeah. And like uh with the music, like, yeah, like I focus on the quality of my music, but um, I also focus on the networking of my music. Like, it's that's a skill too. Cause yeah, like you can there's always gonna be a door that can't open for you. But I I can't just look at that door and be like, damn, well, that's that's no you don't give up. You can't figure out a way around. You can't feel comfortable with for everybody to open that door. The door gotta open. I gotta see it through. You know what I'm saying? Perfect, perfect.

SPEAKER_02 13:04

I gotta say, the out of time is great. Yeah, I appreciate that. Yeah, actually, I was looking at the just so the uh the the images of on your Instagram of it. I don't know if you remember. I was just like, This is uh, you know, this is great artwork.

SPEAKER_01 13:19

Like, look at that. Oh, shout out to my boy DNK Media. Yeah, he had he had he had soup that joint up. What are um some of your influences? So I had um the relationships get dark sometimes. That was like my first album that I dropped that I I have to I guess call it extended EP, extended play. But um my whole thing is like just growing up, I'm not a person that believes in I never really believed in a relationship, like you know, and I but I do believe in a Romeo and Juliet effect on relationships. Like I do believe in like romantic tragedy, you know. So like like the first the first EP that I did, it's like it sounds so beautiful, like everything's upbeat. My voice is gonna sound great, it's gonna sound energetic, but like if you're listening, it's gonna be like damn. Yeah, and it goes from really bright to really dark. And um, with this last EP that I did, this villain EP, like it closed out an error. So the first EP relationships get dark. It was about a certain time in my life that I had with a person, and um, you know, it was really good, but I I didn't see myself there. Like I seen myself with somebody else. I just seen myself doing other things, and it's like options, yeah, and it wasn't working, and it was crazy because the honey nut song, I ended up talking to a person honeynut complexion next, you know what I'm saying? And um, so the next joint villain was about that person, it was about that person that I ended up finding. And um so your songs are almost like journal entries, kind of yeah, it's really like it's like your story, only you are really following the story, yeah, right. And this is like the only time I get to explain to people what it's about. Like this, right? Yeah, yeah. Because um, yeah, man, like the villain joint, when I'm listening back, and like when you do listen to it, it starts with the villain. Like, that's just the pilot, right? So it's like I have these good intentions, man, but like good intentions, like the road to evil is paved with good intentions, right? And that's that's very true. Like, I'm trying, like, I'm I'm also like 21. I'm like a douche, you know what I'm saying? Like, I cheated.

SPEAKER_03 15:31

But at least you admitted I I cheated, you know what I'm saying?

SPEAKER_01 15:35

I was pretty fucked up, yeah. And now I'm expecting this person, like the second song, I'm just expecting an up down, because things was up, and now it's going down. And I'm looking, I'm looking for like, but you can't, once you do something bad to somebody, you can't blame on how they react afterwards, you know. And so the third song was more like it's my lean. And now um, it's based off of a character in a um, it's based off of a character in a movie. Um, and I I gotta get the name, man. I had a vlog about it before. Yeah, yeah, man. I got I'm man, I'm so mad. I could do this in like two seconds.

SPEAKER_02 16:14

Go ahead. Well, in the meantime, we can at least say that uh Buffalo Music Players is uh brought to you almost every single week at Friday. And um, we'd love for you to continue listening. Hey, uh Son, why don't you tell me a really good song that people should hear a clip of real quick? Oh yeah, yeah. Out of time. That's that's the new thing. That's the new one. Absolutely. All right. Take a listen to that, we'll be right back.

SPEAKER_05 17:23

This just then, a double scoop of bad news. Man, life just isn't letting up. I feel like the walls are closing in, and I don't have a way to stop it. I wish there was somewhere I could go. Some place where I could just get away from everything and just be creative.

SPEAKER_04 17:44

There is a buffalo creative workshop. Who said that? Spirit of creativity. I heard you're playing Follow Duty the Hopefully. Okay in the Great Arrow building on Elmwood Avenue. Use our space, our art supplies and equipment to your heart's content. Let us hope you beat back and feel centered again.

SPEAKER_05 18:08

Wow, that sounds great. I'll check it out.

SPEAKER_04 18:11

Always remember if the world has your creative spirits in a rut, come to the Buffalo Creative Workshop before pick me up. More about Buffalo Creative Workshop can be found at Buffalo.creativeWorkshop on Instagram.

SPEAKER_02 18:30

And we are back. The movie was The Get Down.

SPEAKER_01 18:33

Yeah, yeah, it was the get down, yeah. So quick quick little joint about it. So Zeke, Zeke was like, he loved this girl like so much, like they they they essentially grew up together, and like how I compare that to myself was like that girl had like the same life I had, like parents in the military, and they're they're here, you know what I'm saying? So it's like we kind of understand, like we have the same understanding of background, you know what I'm saying? Yeah, yeah. And so, you know, she has this opportunity to go on without Zeke, you know what I'm saying? But Zeke is like, you know, what? Like, what's going on? And like the iconic part of the movie is how he confesses his feelings, right? And I had, I know I fucked up, but I really confess to this person, like, yeah, you know what? I don't see this with nobody else. You know what I'm saying? I don't, I don't, and like, but they had no choice. Like, just how Mylene told Zeke straight up, like, nah, like, this ain't it. And it crushed his heart, but it was real, and that happened to me. Like, not everything has a good ending, and that's okay, because you're gonna find who you are supposed to be with eventually, you know? That's tough, that's a tough one. So out of time, so out of time, right? That's the closing. It's closing it out. Like it, I started you here by closing the old shit out. It's out of time for that, right? So now I can open up the new, the new, the new me. So like this is the best sound. Like every song I do next is the best sound. It's the best I got.

SPEAKER_02 20:06

You know, like I was gonna ask you, I was gonna ask you whether like music was like a cathartic thing, like like closing up that chapter your life, like you just said. Yeah, like like maybe that's the way you work yourself out.

SPEAKER_01 20:17

Yeah, it sounds very personal, like you're basically just writing books to yourself, you know, writing chapters and closing them and opening new ones. Yeah, and it's real. So I tell my shirt all the time. Like, yeah, man, like I'm gonna put you in a song. Oh man, I better act right. This is gonna be so much beautiful music, man. Like, and it's yeah, it's ups and downs still, so you're still gonna get some tragedy music, but you're still gonna you're gonna get some beautiful music, some love music, you know. So it's not just like I'm just this, I'm just feeling all this pain and all this. Pain is a part of life, but there's other parts of it too.

SPEAKER_05 20:51

Absolutely. Well, I mean, and a lot of people can't, they're gonna have a grasp of their emotions or they can actions of their things, you know. That's right.

SPEAKER_01 20:58

But you know, you're a person, people feel more than just one thing. Yeah, y'all, y'all ever got mad as fuck?

SPEAKER_02 21:04

Yeah, and there was a lot of people. I was thinking my thoughts this morning. It's like I was like, what the fuck? And then what the fuck?

SPEAKER_01 21:10

Yeah, now the answer is yes.

SPEAKER_05 21:11

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_01 21:17

So imagine just like you being sad, and like the only sad music you can hear is somebody like trying to ask themselves, like, that's crazy. Yeah, like you're not the answer. Yeah, I'm not that exactly Lucas. I'm more like, you know, I'm I'm 31 slime sad today. Yeah, I still got that vengeance, I still got that raw emotion, but I'm chilling. I'm just trying to work through this shit. That's really where it's at. How did you get the 31 in your name? Right. So my my uh previous name was 331. Okay. And uh people was like, Yeah, hey yo, I hate that name. And like just typing it and just like trying to perform, and people just saying it all types of ways. So my friends. My boy Don, uh, my boy J3. Like the whole True Riches camp, they call me slime because there's like a time in my life like I was like I was a yeah, true riches. I was uh I was like I was selling pills to people. Yeah, I was trying some pills, selling lean, sipping lean. Like this was a real phase in my life, but that's what they knew me as, you know. So they always call me, they'll never not call me slime. So they was like, yeah, why don't you just call yourself slime? So we were real deep into it at the point. Yeah, yeah, and then everybody like you know, outside of them, they're like, Yeah, you you you gang bang. I'm like, nah, bro. Yeah, I'm no, I don't, but so the 31 is my birthday. Gotcha. Because I'm born 331, March 31st. Gotcha. Yeah, and I I'm like, you know, hopefully when I get up, somebody comes up with a better name, you know, but right now You know how long? Yeah, I still don't have a great idea for a name. We will still be waiting for the drop a song, but I couldn't do it without a name. That's that's fucked up. That is true. Yeah, it's true. So yeah, that's how that's how that uh came to be.

SPEAKER_02 23:11

Well, as they say, you know, you don't judge a book by its cover, you don't judge a person by their name.

SPEAKER_01 23:14

Yeah, no, you can't, and like I get the uh the backgrounds at the name, because even 31, they're like, Yeah, you from that block. I said, There's a block. There's what block is that? Which which is everyone, you know? Y'all haven't seen me on any block. I like like even when I'm doing music videos, I just be cautious, because you know, it's so easy to just post up somewhere, but like I'm not a my music's not a post-up somewhere type of thing. It's yeah. It's I like that's why it's hard for me to get visuals out because it's it's a lot of my music. Yeah. It's a lot of emotions I'm trying to portray.

SPEAKER_05 23:45

I didn't um I don't mean any offense or anything because I don't like to refer people to like, oh your music sounds like this. Yeah. But I got a sense of like like early Drake, maybe even. Oh shit.

SPEAKER_01 23:56

But that's not just like where he was like vulnerable and stuff. Yeah. Would you would you agree with that? I can say in a way. Yeah, I can say in a way. I'm just I guess um a lot of people would say with the auto-tune it could be like oozy-ish. Yeah, I can hear that. Um, but I just think a lot of people who just hear certain type of auto-tune with a certain vibe would just be like bow. Right? Some people say Chief Keith. I would never say that. I'm gonna say it. I listen to this Chief Keith saying, boy. I listen to every day. Yeah, I would never say that you sound like Chief Keith. Yeah, no way. Yeah, I was about to say, nah, I don't I wish I wish I did, nah, but I damn sure don't. I don't.

SPEAKER_02 24:37

That's chill. That's chill. So um what what are the next plans? What's going on with you? Yeah, any shows, any shows, albums, projects, uh in the aspiring to projects, you know, things that are in your head right now.

SPEAKER_01 24:50

So so right now, what I'm looking forward into doing, right now it's all about singles. It's all about singles and getting my formula down. Yeah. Like with the whole, okay, plan a drop. I had, I mean, even with this, this was supposed to come out in January, like the the the second week. Yeah. I came out the first week of February, like, so you can tell I'm having difficulty just scheduling things and just getting things down. The cover art, for example, like before I hit DNK Media, I hit some, I hit Nino Draw on Instagram up. And it, you know, he made me something. But I didn't even didn't even describe what I wanted. I just said, yo, I need a cover photo. He gave me one, it took a week. And I'm like, oh, I should have told him way more details, right? Because now it's like I can't, I spent $80, can't even use it. So now I mean I I I called my man up, yeah, I need a cover photo. Now it's taking a whole nother seven days just on the cover. Can't drop it without a cover, man. You can't. I can't even put it on Instagram, uh, Instagram to promote it with the sound on the cover. Yeah. So so what's next really for me is I'm planning on doing we were working on a song for Valentine's Day, you know, because I like I can drop any time I want. So I can drop that. But it's like when I'm working with other people to try to prolong the music I have, it becomes an issue I'm seeing as well when it's like my time. So for me, um, I have some Jersey drill or some New York, you know, sexy drill stuff coming out. Great that I want to try. And I'm gonna go, you know, I want to go to New York to try to give it that real feel. Like I wanted to have that New York sexy drill feel. Yeah. Like I I ran into a little TJ coming back from Dominican Republic. Did you? Yeah, yeah, this is last year. I was cool. He was cool? Yeah, I he was cool as like yeah, yeah. I told him who I was, like he was he was just singing, having a great time. Yeah, and I I just thought that was cool because just traveling, like I tell anybody whenever I can travel. Yeah, you got to because these these people, they gotta it's like the a plane is a bus in a sky. It's NFT 8 over your head. Yeah, yeah. And everybody needs it. Shit's not gonna come to you if you gotta go to it. Absolutely. You gotta you gotta be moving to catch things. Yeah, standing still, you would never catch anything, you know, with the wind. And hopefully that makes you move. Do you think you got it like this?

SPEAKER_05 27:17

Like you're you seem like a very personable person, you can like go up to people and stuff like that. Do you feel like you got that from your uh your background as like a military brand? Have you moved around so much?

SPEAKER_01 27:27

Yeah, like being a kid, man, like I'm sure that was it was like very painful, you know, like dealing with that as a kid, but it kind of worked out, you know? I never never seen it that way. Like I just never seen it as a bad thing. Like Oh, you never did that. Yeah, like like I wanna I went to the art by myself and I met so many friends, like, and I know for some people that would be nerve-wracking, like, you know, it'd be scared of your safety or whatever the case. I'm out drinking at four in the morning, I'm moving to the door and shit. Like, but yeah, being a kid, like, I'm I'm like always outgoing. Like, I always my brain is just at work no matter what, man, and it's just it's I'm I thank God, man. And it could have went anyway. I could have went anyway, but I turned into a diamond, bruh. So I'm trying to use my brain to show people I can network this music business the way that I want to to get to where I need to be. That's that's the biggest thing, because it hasn't been the biggest focus as these past years that I'm making it this year. What um what made you like want to hyper focus on it now? Like this is the time for me to embarrassment. Um you know what? I don't think enough people have embarrassment. What embarrassed too that made you want to like just fix this like this? Yeah, just seeing like my peers like just tagging along with like people like Jadence and just seeing their work ethic and just seeing them go.

Yeah, I go out of town, I go out the country more than anybody probably has in the last year. But me going out three times out the year to out the country, but it's like okay, when it comes to this work, yeah, Jaden's is always always when it comes to these numbers at the end of the year, yeah, that shit get embarrassing. And it's like, and I know I'm good, you know what I'm saying? But but it's a good embarrassment, like without that motivates, yeah. Without that embarrassment, people won't change. Facts. Like, I I I didn't know what embarrassment was until I was in this like that relationship, like where I told you I cheated, like I didn't understand it. Like she said, you should like like it was about some other shit, but she was like the first person said you should be embarrassed. Because I'm like embarrassed. I I I tripped over embarrassment for like a a whole month trying to understand it. Yeah, because like I just I'm a I'm a type of person, I stand on whatever it is, like I didn't care. Yeah, but like that whole new aspect can change your life so much, yeah. Yeah, man. Wow, that's incredible. That's a good way to put it, man. You have a good perspective on stuff. Yeah, absolutely. That that makes anybody change like fast. Yeah, like you ever been unhealthy and got embarrassed, like those people don't play. Like they they either are really hurt or they really gonna do something about it. That's it. That's the only two people I see in this world. Or well, there's three. Or the people don't give a fuck. Yeah, they are. Yeah, and like I I'm not built like that. Like, if I see a better way or of doing something or understanding something, I want that. Like, I'm gonna take it. That's why when I put myself next to who I think is great, like, like, like I can't I keep mentioning like Jaden, she's a great performer, captivated see. She's a great artist, she's down and motivated. And like last year I was just so close to work, like I'm so close. I'm working with them, I'm engineering them, I'm doing shows. Like he really put me in a lot of shows. Yeah, you know what I'm saying? So I really appreciate that. So now this year is just about me doing my own part. Like, yeah, the shows is cool, but now it's time for me to explore more, like do my networking, understand people, learn, look up shit, you know. So man, yeah.

After a long day, it's hard to turn off. That's why I go to Mammoth Cannabis on 212 Ohio Street. Their stuff I'll have you laid out flatter than a mammoth foot. From flour to pre-roll, vaporizers to concentrate. You can rest assured that something big is waiting for you at Mammoth Dispensary. Just keep in mind, if you smell cereal from the General Mills factory nearby, they can't help you. You have to go home and get a bowl yourself. It's a dispensary, not an eatery after all. This is our way of helping up. Everybody gotta be quite honest. I'm gonna be there, but I'm gonna run up anything else for the podcast until 30 after done something um, okay. Uh jerk and uh no verify still so I got the upper hand. Fogg and do it. I jerk and uh no verify those tools, so I got the upper hand.
