You guys are up, you guys are upending and obliterating the stereotype of people who smoke pot because you are on time, even though you're high. Yep. Mr. D has not stopped laughing since he walked into this studio, bro. And look at Jeff. He said, Charlie, look at his about his slave.

He try to keep it together, manage it yet. We had to give him, we had to get ready for the show, man. We can make

like that all the time. Be no problem. Oh dude. Are you kidding me? Dude. If I look at this versus something else, it turns into something that, oh me. Oh, it's a paranoid freak out for me, man. I can't even look at these loads. Paranoid freak out. Hey Mr. D now let's stop the bullshit. Let's cut right down to it.

What's up? Who would he find? Bitches that are in your video, bro? Come on. What? Tell me about the video. Shit. Don't stop. I got to ask my manager that one, cause even with a book, we just picked up some ladies from Italian. You know what I mean? They're good. Good looking chocolate in there. Like, oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

We had to, we had to get most, both of them all mixed up. You know, we have. Well close, man. Listen, listen, listen. I'm married. So it doesn't matter anymore, but I'll tell you right now when I go to Baskin-Robbins I ordered a double Dutch shot. You feel what I'm saying? Lose this chick right here. Uh, she's fine.

Who's that? Rubbing her thighs. Hey look, Mr. D Mr. D right here. Okay. So, all right, hold on over there. Oh, that's Terminator. That's Terminator Terminator. He's making plans fucking around. Listen, let me tell you. First, uh, just so Mr. And Mrs. Earbuds can follow along. This is Mr. D's new shit. It's on YouTube. You can get it other places it's called shit.

Don't stop it. Right. Okay. So now, unlike other fucking whack ass podcasts and bullshit, we got the actual artist here and the manager, we're going to fucking walk through this video motherfucker. I want to know what's the real. I wasn't ready for this shit.

it's called hard luck. Not easy. So wait a second. So right now, dude, it looks like you're in like a bunker bro. And you're like, fucking you're fucking staring at a wall and it looks like a planet. Like, what was, did you get direction? Like what is the concept here, bro? Well, we were mainly targeting towards, uh, the whole idea as in like we're looking for the person, like we're directing this to, well, I initially didn't really target this to anybody because I actually wrote it for her homie that, um, his homeboy passed away on like around December.

So it was when I wrote this. So, um, I kind of wrote it as like, for him to be all like, like, oh, it's a tribute for him. You know what I mean? So when this came about, I was kind of like, okay, like how can I manipulate it towards. Um, I'm angry. I'm, I'm sort of like, I'm looking for somebody in light, like this, these tier jobs I'm talking about, they're going to get, you know, what I mean events for.

So we were kind of going for that, that idea, you know what I mean? Like, like, all right. We're we're, we're on the hunt. We're re how do you put it up? That's loaded guns loaded. It's like you're in there. Right. And then where's this film, cause it looks like you're like in a bunker and there's like monitors and all these fucking wires who designed the set for that.

Uh, what was it called? I'm not sure what it's called, but we rented a studio then. And, uh, that's where we got all the footage from. Right. And then I'm like looking at it and it looks like somebody that's like, like, not really like FBI or CIA, but they're fucking looking on a man hunt. We got surveillance cameras everywhere, looking for people, spotting that one person we're going to.

Yeah. Then you got like a fun bitch, fucking typing in your data entry for Columbia. Oh, because she looked like she's looking at it at that Porter Porter. No, watch this.

the prop guns. That's a prop gun that looked like it. Seen some props. Hey bro. Do you see why this guy is going to be the supermax lookbook guy? Dude, look at the way he's looking at what is that? Is that a newsy or a Mac? Ten one? Is that? No, no, that's a Hosey right there. And you're looking at it. You're looking at the Uzi, like with a Debo you're like, motherfucker, this thing is going to be fucking blast.

Did you hit weed before? After all of my scenes right there all, when I'm sober, I try to take my. Uh, visual appearance as serious as I can. Cause, you know, as I, as they say, like any movement with your eyes, like fluttering or anything, they'll notice it, you know? So that's why I try to take more precaution with that for an actor.

All right. And who is working with props and making it real? How did you, what was your method for staring at this gun? Like a stone cold. That's easy. I just, I just kind of. Try to kick him my little flashback mode, right. Until like when I was going through my little things and my little molds, I tried to apply it to that.

You know what I mean? As best as I could, you know what I mean? Yeah. I love that. So you like, so they call that sensory recall. That's what this fucking high-minded fucking actors over in Beverly Hills, they call it sensor. So you went back to some shit and you were like, only bring the shit to the front.

I'm going to stare at this gun with some shit. I'm going to make a fucking killer. And that means dope, bro. All right. Okay. Now you're gonna have to explain this black. I got to tell you I got my attention right there. He's not lying. No, ain't no form of disrespect towards anybody now, but before her and juggle beaver man.

So I knew as soon as I saw this, I go and I first, going to love this video. Oh, bro. I look at like a black woman like that. It's beautiful, but looking fierce, like she could fucking eat a kiss. You or cut you and I'm in bro. Oh man. I like that. Hey, they did that eight. Good bro. They did that. Ain't good. That ain't like the right side.

That things always cleared a picture.

it in on that one. And then it's like, he's like in a red room and now he's got, now you got to shotgun. Mr. D why do you have a shotgun and a, and a black chick? Well, the shotgun was actually, it was, it was just there, you know what I mean? Just to put it there, but. I actually try to, like, I that's actually my favorite gun to keep it real.

You know what I mean? Cause it, it, it puts a hole in somebody, you know what I mean? You could walk through them, you know what I mean? Like that's type shit. You know what I mean? But with the female, I actually love that part. That shit was actually pretty tight. You know what I mean? Cause it shows that because one thing, a lot of people get wrong is that.

People think that my type of people, like, you know what I mean? Like, as people who are coming from my area, we just like a certain race, you know what I'm saying? Absolutely. That's what I'm trying to break. I'm trying to break those type of barriers. You know what I mean? Like trying to make everybody understand that it's more than just how people look, you know?

Yeah, man. That's what the D stands for. And Mr. Lee dream, I also, you know what, man, and I think that is part of the reason. Uh, you're here on the show, man. It's just where, where you guys are, where your, where your thoughts, how, how you guys move and your vision, which Jeffrey, I get to spend more time talking with you actually.

And then D but, uh, it seems you're just on it, man. It's just another thing that I think separates you from the pack. I think it was, you're not even really trying. It's just that that's you, that's you and, and it's, it's it defines it. I think it was just trying to reach goals to reach the mass. Right. And like equally, I think everybody in his role as equal the same era, same mouth or just different skins.

Right. But inside we're all the same. But do you hear new music you're bound to like attract you're going to attract an audience? That's true. I don't mean to interrupt, but it definitely also feels like in some of our conversation, the current. Understanding of breaking a stereotype or a mole, right? Like, right.

It's I mean, for me, it is, and I'm not trying to put that on you, but when we talk, we meet at that place of like an old stereotype and we're so much more than. A clown dancing around with his socks, pulled up in front of low riders, the old he's like, look, I love all these and that, but I think I know that we're so much more man.

And, and I love it when I see things put out that really, I don't know, break that old. I think we are. I mean, now it's, you're talking about generations and generations, right? Like. I mean, we have attorneys, we have all types of like other careers paths that our people have gotten a hold of. Right. So we're not just those clouds of like, with the socks up and dancing around, like

with him. Like the way he speaks, the way he . He's good. Like, I mean, he has it, we just got to get it out there to the masses and then you're nodding your head. Yeah, no, I, I agree. I think it's right on. And I think that the fact that you guys focus on that and move that way. Genuinely we'll serve you so well, going forward in reaching the masses because there seems to be, as it should be many more conscious people these days and people that are actually, they can even digest the thought of somebody who is, is, is unique and don't speak to everybody.

So I think it's. I think it is through, you know, and I think it's not it's you can't. I also cute. Can't go without at least acknowledging the fact that you guys like this, this cat rolls around with his older homeys. He's older homeys are about, um, professional business and they're, they're kind of like, you know, they're, they've got his back and the intentions are, are clear and, um, And a lot of guys don't have that.

They don't have somebody out looking out for them. And if they do, are they really looking out for their best interests? And in this case, it's like, and he listens dude. Like he says, he able to take stuff in and listen and get out of his own way. And I think a lot of. Is maybe somebody getting out of their own fucking way.

I think, I think I'm in a position where I put myself through, I guess all my life I've worked really hard. And then I really don't need a lot of stuff in life. Right. I got everything I need. So I just want to see him win at the end of the day. That's my goal is to see him win as long as he wins. I win. So I think as, as a big homie, I have to take that.

I got to, got to take that to heart because I've seen so many homies fucking cracked out or whatever, out in the street. And we talked about, and then in the young homie, a bag of dope, you know, I mean, I'm not going to give him a fucking gun. Like I'm going to give him a fucking book and be like, Hey dog, what do you need to get your shit?

Right. If I got to pay for college, then fuck it. I'll pay for college. I mean this guy's not just blowing smoke. These are what these guys are about, man. And that I'm not hearing enough of. Go ahead. Wait, wait, before you go. Just y'all. Fuck. Let me, let me fucking ask Mr. D you here, you've been sitting here and listening to the older folks.

Talk about blah, blah. What's it like for you as an artist to hear the conversations going on around you and you sort of taking that in what's your. It's more to the point where I got to try to keep up to it. You know what I mean? Um, as in, I need to keep, uh, I need to keep myself aware that I have a certain responsibility and a certain goal that I have to help achieve, you know, cause I definitely didn't get here by myself, you know, cause I tell everybody around me every, every single time that I can at least, you know, that I, I pretty much always to everybody around me more than.

The other way around, you know, cause it, it wouldn't, it wouldn't make sense for me to say that my ability of lyricism technically erupted all of this, you know what I mean? Like it's more as a positive thinking in a positive energy and the, uh, I want to say the ambition and the hopes that people have in each other is what got everybody here.

You know what I mean? And that's what I feel like I got to make myself be aware every time I step up and step out into the. Excuse me. And I try to do anything right there, like destruction wise, you know what I mean? Like, and I try to do something that'll damage what we built, you know what I mean? You know, big Lux.

What are you, what is your, what do you hear when you hear Mr. D talk about his experience or what he thinks his responsibility? Um, I think he, I think he, I think he, he gets it. I want to say, I don't even know if that's the right way to answer it. Like, obviously he's, he's taking heat and he's listening to the people around him, but he's also smart enough to know that the people around him just because they're older and have wisdom, everything they tell him ain't gonna be right.

Either because they're just another human being, trying to figure it out at the end of the day. Right. But, and you have enough of. I think people either are just like, fuck it. I am doing what I want. Fuck it. Or I'm going to go all in and listen to everything they're saying. But like, but to be able to have a, you know, have people looking out for you and you be able to understand what you're taking from it and staying open to understanding more, I think, uh, yeah, he is man.

Oh, I just, I I've just witnessed and seen a lot of misguidedness and I just really also see when you start mixing people that come from places like where we come from and. Entertainment celebrity, that type of stuff gets, can get very, very convoluted and very weird and gray real quickly, bro. And it, there's almost an art to being able to navigate through that.

And um, and I feel like these guys are genuine and they're aware of that. They're aware of a lot of what I'm talking. Now, right ideas. So, Jeff, what are some of the difficulties or challenges let's say, or things that you gotta be smart about when working with like Mr. D and trying to look out for his interests and all the other stuff, what things have you encountered where you're like, man, it takes a second pair of eyes to help navigate this.

I think it's more like trying to make the music part. That's the been like the, really the hard part. Right? Like explain that. It's just, I don't know. Trying to get songs done and then trying not to get fucked at the end. Right? Like it's like, we, we, I think we want everybody to be at the same plane level.

Right? Like you get paid, we get paid, everybody gets paid. Right. And it seems like so far, it hasn't been that way. It seems like it's, it's been really, like, it's been really fucked up, but you don't have to give any names or anything, but what about some signs to a younger artists that's out there that maybe doesn't have the benefit of managing.

It does say to like it, a guy shows up with no money, but a bit a pound of Coke go the other way. Like what, what, what can a young artists kind of see where they can start smelling like this? And on the up and up, you see the science man, what are they like? Just, they tell you things in the things don't happen, right?

Like they tell you they're going to bring this to you and they don't bring it to you. It's just, I dunno. I think it's more like, I can't explain. It's like, it's it's you, you see the signs. It's like, I don't know. It's like, I see the fucking signs, like, all right, you're fucking with me. Like, I'm not gonna fuck with you no more.

Know what I mean? And you're just experiencing life, I guess. Sure. I think that's what it is. Experience in life. Like you hear people talk and you hear them say certain things and they don't come through. It's like, strike one. You just taking a mental note of that. I take, I take a lot of mental notes. I take three strikes.

I keep people. That's what I do. I told him, I give you three strikes, man. Like you told me once. All right, cool. Twice already. The third time, I'll tell, I'll be like, you want me a dog? You going to come through or not? And if it doesn't come through, then the forefront I'm out ice. I don't take, I don't like to deal with.

And it's been like that in this industry where you tell people, Hey, you know what I mean? You are, we're going to do this and you do your part. And then they don't do their part. And you're like, fuck me. Like, I'll take one strike. And then the next thing you know, now I'm out. Uh I'm from what I've read, right.

I've been reading about the history of NWA and I've been reading about all this stuff, right? I gotta tell you, man, the music industry seems full of bullshit, man. It's it's a Savage industry. I'll tell you that much. Like, I dunno, like I worked in the, I make cosmetics as living right for the past, like 14 years old, like, like a junior chemist.

So what's the name of the company? Oh, cosmetic labs of America and shots were shout out to them for employing me for 14 years. Yeah, she's right. Hey man. Shout out to them that they got you, dude, because I looked at the balance sheet and I saw that since they hired her, they raised, they doubled every year.

Yeah. So, you know what I mean? Like I've seen the business through like, just the way they carry themselves as far as like putting like contracts out. Like it's, everything's on a timely fashion, right? Like if you don't get shit done at a time, you find that you get fined by the company. You gotta pay them now.

So to me, it's like swats put that in our bylaws. Like I'm paying you to come through with some shit. You better come through it. Like you don't have you better come through or else, like, it's like, I'm gonna find you. So that's the way I look at life. Like if I do something for you and you told me you gonna do something for me, then you better come through or there's going to be a fine at the end of.

You know, what's funny too, is a lot of times w what I seem to run into is that I got a lot of friends who won't be RA. First of all, I got a lot of friends that won't be right. Now Mr. Mrs. Earbuds, Jeff demands your smile with like one half of his mouth, like a knowing fucking smile. Like yeah, I know I got, right, right.

Hey, Mr. D like how many people do you guys run into that are like, I won't be around. I'm an up and coming rapper. Here's my fucking shit. You build little shit too many, too many, right. And the thing that's interesting about it is, is that you said finished the music, finished the song, right? I mean, oh, blue eyes.

Do we know anybody in common where we've spent about a decade trying to get that dude to finish a song? No, no. Right. Listen, man, if you want first getting on the ground level, Jeff of managing king salmon, I got his information for you. Don't do that. Don't come up. I don't want to do that now. I don't know, dude.

I mean, we got guys on fucking salmon over where he's at salmon salmon. Dammit. Don't intermix salmon in the. Yeah, you put a salmon in what has shocked the shotgun to eat enough water in the valley for the welcome back base dreaming only on peacock. Can't wait to start. Junior year saved by the bell is back and taking school spirit.

Our Bibles just destroyed our mascot. We're going to crush valley to the max. If we don't learn from the past, we are doomed to repeat it. That's how we have all these reboots of teen Charles from the. You had a new idea. Hollywood saved by the bell new season screaming. Now let's do this baby only on peacock.

Hi, I'm Randy. And this is Dave we're the founders of Bombus the most comfortable socks in the history of feet. So comfortable. We sold and donated millions of pairs to sell and donate a lot of socks. We became obsessed with comfort. We reinvented the sock from the ground up, adding comfort innovations alone.

It worked. People tried them, loved them, told their friends about them, helping us sell it, donate millions of pairs. Try them now at bombas.com/comfy and get 20% off your first order. That's B O M B a s.com/comfy. Got it. So, um, Uh, so how, what gets in the way? Cause, cause at the end of the day, when a lot of these folks come through, it's like, wait a second.

Do you even, I know you got a good idea for a song. I know, you know, a cool little sample that you thought would be cool in a song. They got all these little pieces that might even be good ideas, but they don't come with a complete song, a finished motherfucking product. Mr. D what is the. Oh, executing and finishing a mother fucking song.

Well, it's kind of like, it's, I want to give out like a small piece of my formula, but like, this is how I do it. This is how I do it. Right. I kind of visualize it as a, as in like I'm writing sort of a play or something like that. I'm sort like it's sort of a, I'm trying to bring a movie into real life.

That's how I kind of look at it. Right. So if I'm talking to. The studio, right. And how I got to the studio, I'm going to evolve every single thing from the studio, from my destination. Right. From my house, the sidewalk, the street, the people on it, the car is right there. The sounds, the environment, you know what I mean?

And then how I got to the studio and when I got there, what it made me feel like, and all of the things that I saw, how did that snowball into what I, what I just did. So, you know what I mean? Like that's, that's the best way I can try to give it to the people without physically doing it in front of me.

Right. It's just, it really just depends how good you are at jumping from one topic to the other and making it all connect. Well. So the thing is, is that I'm hearing though, is that that's your process for finishing the song, but there's a discipline that goes along with finishing anything. Oh yeah. Right.

What's your strategy or what do you do to keep yourself motivated to finish anything that you started? Uh, sort of putting in my mind. Um, today, I'm going to be the first rapper to finish a whole song, at least in one day sitting down like, cause I'll try my best not to leave my chair. You know what I mean?

I know, I know a lot of people done it before me, but I like to put it in my mind sort of to motivate me and sort of to like, be like, okay, I got slipped in to show my manager later on in the night. You know what I mean? Cause the more songs we pile up and we don't put out, like it's cool with me. But as long as that, I know that I'm putting out something that people.

Like they like, but they can't hear, it keeps me pumped up at the same time. You know what I mean? Like how can I explain it? Uh, uh, recently I had written a song that I feel like it was probably my best shit lately. You know what I mean? However, seeing as I can't show too many people, like it, it kind of holds me back.

I mean, I could show you guys know, but I mean like, like, like everybody in general, you know what I mean? Like, it kinda makes me think like, how can I know I'm getting. If a lot of people don't hear it, you know what I mean? Like that's the thing, you know, and a lot of people don't really like to give their, their, their hard input on it because they fear that all I, what if he has some horseshoe later in the future and he doesn't want to show me because of the opinion I give them.

You know what I mean? Like, some people do think like that, believe it or not. I agree with, you know, I'm surrounded by a lot of people like that, not here, but in other areas. Yeah. I listened to them now. I'm like, okay, that sounded like a political fucking answer. I don't sound like a real motherfucker. Jeff, what, from a manager standpoint, do you do to motivate D do you have like different things that you think about, or do you, are there times where you gotta remind him and say, We're doing this for, this is bigger than this.

We're going. Oh. Or D I mean, has you come in with something and you just like punched a fist through the wall? Cause it was so dope. You were like, you know, I gotta get Savage. Nah, I don't think I've heard is dope. Is. To be honest. I think he still has more coming. Damn. I straight up, I think, I think once we get inside of like a room and really like sit down and make music with someone like, like I'm talking about 12 hour shifts.

Yeah. Like I think that's when you really going to see this kid, like spit shit and like, he's going to move like the crowd. You haven't heard it yet, man. Believe me. You haven't heard it yet. Cause sometimes I trip out on the stuff that I hear like you, cause I'll tell them, maybe write something and then by end of the night I have like almost a full song.

Right. And I'll hear him speak. And I just like, damn, I got to hear it again and again and again. And I can't because I don't have enough time in the fucking day to get in again and again, us through over to go see mugs, I'll probably bring you with me alone. I'm going to, we're going to go on, I'm going to walk him into the studio Brawny.

That's how I think that's, that's like the biggest problem right now. Cause I know like there's, there's a lot there, man. Like this is from the music industry. From the music industry standpoint, we just had a discussion about. There's a lot of nostalgia right now, like set like, like 95% of the music that's being picked up by these digital platforms.

And streamers is all old music and like only 5% of the music's new. Are you guys running into like, like, like it doesn't make sense, but somehow there's been a kind of a slowly gripping down on new music. Yeah. I'm actually, I've actually read that. I want to say like a couple of days ago when it came out, like in the Atlantic.

Yeah. Yeah. I read that too. It was actually tripping me out because, cause it, it makes sense though. Cause I find myself more finding more older music and playing that more opposed to the new music. You know what I mean? Cause it's just something about. Like, I guess if you want to put it in a poetic perspective, the atmosphere within that song.

Right. It's just sounds, it sounds different. You know what I mean? Like, it doesn't sound computerized. It doesn't sound fake. That's the thing. True. Like fucking Fleetwood Mac or even, um, the fuck is that skinny white dude that just died. That does all the don't come around here no more. And what the fuck is that?

Guy's name? And Tom petty even, right. They make these atmospheric, I mean, whether or not he's a good song, I don't know. But the vibe that they create is really unique and interesting. Right. But that doesn't come from a digitized situation. It's all like live it's it's live instruments with live lyrics.

Yeah. To put it like that, you know what I mean? Most people don't look at it like that. They just look at it. Like we got to put something out right now. Right. Then, you know, cause it's all. It will appeal to the people, but does it really appeal to you? You know what I mean? That's the real question. That is the real, and you know, what's interesting that we're going here and this might be the first podcast in history to ever have a discussion with a hip hop artist and bring up the grateful dead.

Okay. Right now you're hearing it right the fuck now, Mr. Mr. All right. You're probably sitting there thinking some of you, young motherfuckers are probably like who the fuck is the grateful dead, but the grateful dead going with your live theory, Mr. D right. The grateful dead made their fucking money and their fucking lard, Jess and their fucking reputation, not on studio albums.

What they did was they did more live shows than anybody else. And there was an, uh, con uh, an economy created a marketplace created because they allowed anyone to come to their concert and record it. Yeah, right. Think about that. And that was the currency among Deadheads. I actually knew this guy had been on with the grateful dead for 10 years.

They had, he had like boxes of tapes, bro, from live shows and that was currently. Out on tour, they'd be like, oh, you write this show in fucking Illinois like this. And they would trade tapes. They was gold to them. So, no, no, no, no. I I'm going to come out of that. They would have labels that said like Cincinnati, 1979.

14. And I said tape and exactly. And everybody in that whole following would know that that was one of the craziest shows and no song was the same. Right. That was the key. It was never sung the same way. Right. Exactly. And so. So, what I'm saying is that goes with your concept of the live theory of like what you're hearing in these, in these, in these older albums is an interaction that's specific and can't be reproduced.

Exactly. Yes. Exactly. But I, it makes sense to me though, too, because in your sound, I hear like nineties arrow, rap. I hear your flow. That's how, which I look at the golden era rap. Like that's, that's when I first really felt that I asked you something on that, just on that, like the answer me, this riddle me, this riddle me, this my young, um, you, you.

There was a point in time in my life at a certain age that I dressed very similar to the way you currently dress right size 50 twos and crease down my laces and like, and you on a regular basis, kind of bring that back there. I don't see a lot of guys your age really. So meticulously, like you really, really have either studied or saw it close to you enough to really get it right.

Cause I paid I'm a clothing guy, so I was paying attention to it. The whole time is, do you, do you. Almost paying tribute to that. Is that just the style you like, or do you feel like you're walking around in a time zone? Like how, how does that come to be such an important and, and that you get it so correctly, right?

Or is all that coming from? I feel like all of you book. You know, um, because for one, it definitely is a tribute because all of the older homies around me, you know, they always tell me about their good memories and all the good times, you know, and I want to experience the good times because the good times now are so good, you know, so pretty much I, it's kinda like I'm putting myself in their, in their era and I'm trying to emulate what they experienced.

You know what I mean? Even though I can't, obviously, you know what I mean? It's difficult. You know what I mean? I've tried, trust me, like, I've went on tagging sprees on fucking, you know, all these others reason you don't like it. It got to the point where I kinda, like, I kinda lost myself in trying to search, uh, this, this time.

You know what I mean? That was already moved on. You know what I mean? It was kinda like searching for that LA that last spec, uh, of that sand from that, from the, what do you call it? The hourglass, you know what I mean? And it would use it. You couldn't flip it anymore. When, uh, when I just started getting deeper and deeper into it, I just started, like, I figured more as an, um, I try to bring the style back, but at the same time, it was more as in like it started becoming me, you know what I mean?

It was a more. Oh, I'm gonna just throw on this Ben David shirt. And it's just, it's a shirt night. More people look at his end. Like, that's your look, that's what you got to beat us. That's who you are. You know what I mean? Like, it'll be more as, than you, you look like a ghost. The second you take that off, you know what I mean?

Like, like, uh, damn, I'm not good with names, but, um, well, you know, when Superman transformed Clark car, Oh, it's the same thing. You know what I mean? The second I take off my thinking cap is the second night, you know, let me see, let me, let me see about, understand this, that this, in a sense is your Superman outfit, cause you said Clark Kent or is that not right?

Yeah. I fucking love that fucking thing. We need to fucking make a comic book about Mr. Diaz. I agree. I'm not fucking, he's not fucking around it. I'm not. And I agree with you a thousand percent brother. Yeah. I'm writing out a whole scene because Manny's been on me about writing. Right. And I wrote out this whole beginning scene of this TV show, this series and the whole thing.

It's him as I'm writing, it's all D doing all of it. He's like the character I was telling him about it, man. I just, he has that about him, bro. So much more than music. It's charisma. Yeah. You can't like, there's only one of this guy I've only met one of them, you know, and that shit shines through it.

Whether you put a can of tuna in his hand, you're going to see it, you know, like he. Right. You know, that's all that's even when you're taking pictures of this guy. Yeah. He knows. He knows how even how to do that. You know, some people that just natural, it's just natural. We saw some of those picks with the, uh, the cookies gear.

Absolute favorite. So tight man. Thank you, Michael Angelo

is saying, I will say this. Shout out the cook and shout the burn that guy. Particular about who he posts or woke, that's posted up bro. And you know, it's, uh, Mike's photography is just it. And I mean, everybody got behind the, those photos bro, and everybody comment. A lot of people that didn't know you were inquisitive started following.

Um, a lot of people I know. What I see in D cookies for having us. I appreciate that. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. You're representing right now. Jeff cookies had on me. I went a little shopping spree. Yeah. It was dope. I think real recognize real, you know, real recognize real man. That's I appreciate it a whole lot. You take a picture.

Go ahead. Jumaan did you, were you gonna say something? No, I I'm. I'm letting it just flow to what's. What's going on when you projects right now, tell us about what what's coming out. What can the people, the listeners look out for and. Right now we actually got an autobiography coming up and we'll yeah.

Stop that lack of written autobiography, like visual autobiography of his younger life when he was newborn to like a certain, maybe like thinking about like junior high kind of stage and then leaving that gap open for maybe later on, like we, we catch up and we'd do something during that era. Okay. Hold on.

So is it. It's from actual footage from when you were young girl minute, we're going to be like doing somewhat of a, an interview almost. You know what I mean? We're going to be throwing like old pictures of myself and my family. You know what I mean? Like just like dubbing it over, you know what I mean?

Like a documentary. Yeah, exactly, exactly. Can burn civil war, but it's going to be Mr. D and my fucking shit. Yeah. Fucking love that. Right. That's what I said. I fucking love that. Like, wait, what you, what kind of jam? What little secret find out from the fucking origin story and Mr. D telling you like, wait, what are we going to find out as a newborn, as a newborn, as a newborn.

That's a pretty, when that doctor tried to cut the umbilical cord, it was more than that. It's like, I'll tell you this. I'll tell you this. A good explanation of why I felt so fitted in big clothes is because I was born premature.

Yup. Yeah. You feel comfortable with all that. That makes sense about that doc, about that that's psychologically psychoanalytically. That fucking makes sense. How was the press psychological warfare was a premium homes. I was fucking in big clothes from day one while you were wearing diapers, that thing.

all the way back. I was posting a picture of you guys. I could see like, Mr. Dean is like, I was born too late, but I was also born premature. Wrap your mind around that mother fucker. Oh yeah. Right, right. I love that. What is there? Jeff? Is there so music. Singles anything next we're going to drop a, another, uh, another remake.

So we call it a remixes. Right? So we have another remix we're gonna drop pretty soon. Maybe think about next week or next two weeks or you are. Yeah. And after that, we're thinking about dropping a single, just him like Richard. Okay. Nice. All right. Who is producing the beat? Um, what's the name of the guy we don't know yet.

Like we haven't signed contracts, so I can't say anything. No shit. Yeah. So, I mean, but we're actively looking though. We're actively looking to make more music. Hey, listen, I'm going to follow through with what I'm talking about doing and see how we can start. Well, we got to drop something original. Like we were really looking for that original sound.

Like he had something coming like. It's in the wall sliding. Cause we want to do those 12 hour shifts in the, in the studio. I got the cafe, I got vacation time. You know what I mean? So they'll use that. I'll do that. I got, I got.

I can get a whole six weeks. I might have to work 10 days, 10 years after that, but I'm going to make it happen now. Listen, we've all talked. Our talk. We've all walked our walk. Mr. Old blue eyes. I'm asking you, what do you got to say? Listen, listen from a production stand point. Yeah. W in, in, given Mr. D. What would your sick twisted fucking music mind do with something like what Mr.

D's got. And can you possibly produce some music to let's? Let's let's first hear what? The sick fuck. This musical sick. Fuck. Rocky liked that. He liked it. He is. He's a sick man. He's yeah, he's a darkly crazy music, man. What would you, what would the max he's not upset looking at? Oh, what would I do? I would do exactly what lucky was talking about and bring him to mugs because let me tell you something.

From what I hear, uh, mugs just dusted off at an old nineties beat for rigs, for rigs and a joint. So I'm sure, I'm sure I'm 100% sure he's sitting on some fucking fire. And if it's classic, I mean, right. That's who's going to hark back to that era more than this guy, Mr. De. Right. Right. So I think that the artillery and the firepower that mugs can bring with that guy on, on the track would be fucking magical.

I agree with that 30 years of friendship, I'm saying this on air, go here. Years of friendship. How many guys have I brought in to mugs to see monks? How many rappers? Zero. Zero. I ain't never brought nobody in. I've never said, Hey, I'm bringing somebody in that. I knew that I'd like you to meet work with.

And you know, but as I said, I've only met one of you. And I, I believe in you, dude, I already see it happening. We're going to help put the pieces together. Now the absolutely. Absolutely. I see it every day. I love it, man. Let's let's uh, you know, we want an opportunity to be able to sneak preview anything you got at the hard luck show.

We want opportunities to always support. Have you on this is an open door for you. So, and a platform that I want you, uh, to utilize. I challenge you, you like, and, and a platform for people to get to know you, right? Understand your values, the principles by which you operate your artistic visions. You see what I mean?

Because I'm going to tell you something, man, a lot of artists, you might see one or two things, but I think the real power comes from. Being able to really understand and know the ground, the background, the fucking theory, all that stuff from what you emanate from. And that's where passion that sorta passion is.

And then you got that and I'm going to say this, and maybe Steve, you can fucking check me. Well, I'm going to say is if we're getting to that place where it's time to, is it, are we, where are we at? Um, we should, we need to wrap up. Okay. So instead of going out how we normally go out, I want to go out with Mr.

D. Yep. All right, so I'm going to pull Mr. D shit back up and, uh, I want to say this. I want to say super. Can you get [email protected]. Get some cookies, get some vibes paper, go download and listen to Mr. D. You guys need to do that. Hey, where did they go to download and listen to Mr.

D he can find you on YouTube. Mr. D M R dot D E and more D E E E. And make sure that it's not the one for Southland. Cause a lot of people do confuse me with them, but. That's um, I want to say, uh, I'm gonna have a page up, uh, in the next couple of months where all of my music is going to be folded up, so it could be a lot more easy to access.

Cause I know some people say that, uh, YouTube kind of gives them issues or whatever. So if it's not that, then it'll be up on Spotify in the next couple of weeks as well. But we'll be coming up with some big projects in the next couple of months. Hopefully everybody keeps waiting and we'll blow up soon enough patients, man, they gotta be patient because you're not dealing with some, no ham, but rubber neck bullshit.
