Speaker 1: Wake that up in the morning. Breakfast Club. Morning. Everybody
Speaker 1: is DJ Envy and Ngela Yee, Charlomagne the guy. We
Speaker 1: all to Breakfast Club. We got a special guest in
Speaker 1: the building. Yes, indeed, welcome. Hi. How you doing, I'm
Speaker 1: doing good? Did you pronounce that right? Do? Yeah? You said,
Speaker 1: you said, what's that mean? Do? Yeah? Really straight into it? Okay, boy,
Speaker 1: I'm projecting. Oh okay, okay, okay, okay. I don't know
Speaker 1: how that sucked me up so much. I'm just it's yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean you want the short version? No, I want
Speaker 1: the long version? Oh man, Yes, okay. I used to
Speaker 1: get bullied a lot. I'm gonna rush through. I used
Speaker 1: to get bullied a lot, and it was really bad.
Speaker 1: And so one day I was like, you know what,
Speaker 1: I'm sick of this. I'm gonna die one day, and
Speaker 1: I want to die being myself, being happy, So forget
Speaker 1: all of that other stuff. And then I think early on,
Speaker 1: I was branding myself early and I didn't know it,
Speaker 1: and I woke up one day and I was like,
Speaker 1: forget Jayla, I'm dochy. And then I went to school
Speaker 1: on the two two and I started doing music. Oh
Speaker 1: that makes sense. So you created a I mean, I
Speaker 1: learned this in therapy because I've done it before. You
Speaker 1: created a character to protect exactly as a defense. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Sixth grade. Oh, sixth grade yeah, sixth grade, yes, and
Speaker 1: I've been ever since. Yeah, that's that's I wonder why
Speaker 1: what is it about sixth grade? That was my turning point? Two?
Speaker 1: Kids are really mean? Yeah, yeah, it was bad. So
Speaker 1: let's start from the beginning. What got you into music?
Speaker 1: How did you sign? Let's start from the whole thing. Now,
Speaker 1: you're from Tampa, Florida. Yes, I'm craziest people in America
Speaker 1: come from the Bronx and all of Florida exactly. Come on,
Speaker 1: where are you from? South Carolina? Okay? Sweet? Oh my,
Speaker 1: I have family there really actually North Carolina. I think Greensville,
Speaker 1: that's what it's called, Greensboro, South Carolina. Yeah. So, um,
Speaker 1: I grew up in the church and I started doing
Speaker 1: music there. I was in the band. My mom had
Speaker 1: me in like all types of different activities and stuff.
Speaker 1: I did every sport you could possibly mentioned, like down
Speaker 1: to swimming and like freaking lacross and stuff. And um.
Speaker 1: From there, I think middle school, I started writing music,
Speaker 1: but I wasn't taking it serious. High school, I went
Speaker 1: to performing arts school and I really excelled there, and
Speaker 1: then I put up my first song in like eleventh
Speaker 1: grade and I haven't stopped since. Wow. Then when you
Speaker 1: said you got bullied, did you go to a white
Speaker 1: school where you went bullied or was it a black school? Yeah?
Speaker 1: I mean I got bullied my whole life. It was
Speaker 1: really bad. So I did go to a private school,
Speaker 1: and then I went to a private school, but I
Speaker 1: grew up in the hood, so I would go to
Speaker 1: private school and like a different private town, and then
Speaker 1: I would go back home with you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: So it's kind of like that type of experience. So
Speaker 1: I got bullied a lot in like predominantly white areas,
Speaker 1: but then I would go around my black friends and
Speaker 1: get like bullied too, and so um, yeah, I got
Speaker 1: bullied all the way up until sixth grade. And then
Speaker 1: I was like no mass, no more and why adult,
Speaker 1: Like what was that name? Like where did that name
Speaker 1: come from? I don't know. It really was, like I
Speaker 1: hate to sound super madic, but it really was like
Speaker 1: spiritual for me. It just kind of came to me
Speaker 1: and I wrote it in my journal and it resonated
Speaker 1: with me because it didn't feel like an alter ego.
Speaker 1: It really did feel like me, like a state of mind,
Speaker 1: like a decision to live a certain way. Yeah, now
Speaker 1: you signed with TD? Yes? Now how did that happen?
Speaker 1: How did you hook up with TD? How did they
Speaker 1: hear your music? Um? I had a song go viral
Speaker 1: on TikTok called Yucky Bucky Fruitcake and that Yes, why

Speaker 1: is only seven in the morning. No, it's me. I
Speaker 1: mean that's fine. So BT Awards. Yeah, first time a
Speaker 1: lot of people got to see you and see you before. Yes,
Speaker 1: how was that nerve racking? How long did you know? Practice?
Speaker 1: Sh I'm killed it. I wasn't. Okay. So I was
Speaker 1: supposed to be on the small stage, but I mean,
Speaker 1: in so many words, I just believed in myself enough.
Speaker 1: I was like, you know what, when I do this,
Speaker 1: I want to do it right. So I told him.
Speaker 1: I was like, instead of being on the small stage,
Speaker 1: I'll just wait until I have my chance on the
Speaker 1: main stage. And now you pass, I said, let's postpone. Okay.
Speaker 1: I didn't deny, but I was just like, I will
Speaker 1: wait until my time comes and they hit me up
Speaker 1: three days before and told me that they would like
Speaker 1: to have me on the main stage. And so I
Speaker 1: was already out of town, so I had one technically
Speaker 1: like two days to rehearse. Um. So I felt very
Speaker 1: unprepared for the performance. But it turned out to be good,
Speaker 1: and I was extremely nervous. It was a lot of
Speaker 1: malfunctions in that performance, but I think it was still
Speaker 1: like killed. Yeah, that's yeah, thank you. How does it
Speaker 1: feel to be there the first woman to rap on
Speaker 1: T Yeah, I feel I mean it's a lot of
Speaker 1: dope ass rapping ass rappers on TD. It is. It's
Speaker 1: a lot of pressure, but it's a good pressure that
Speaker 1: I put on myself because it's like such a dope legacy,
Speaker 1: Like it's TDE. They're like that's hip hop, like real Red,
Speaker 1: Real Red, that's hip hop. So did you have to
Speaker 1: were you there, like you know, Kendrick was transitioning out.
Speaker 1: Did you ever get to connect with him in anyway? Um?
Speaker 1: Not in person, Kendrick being like Africa. Yeah, it's hard
Speaker 1: to catch him. But he did say that he thinks
Speaker 1: that I'm amazing, and that was that meant a lot
Speaker 1: to me too, So hopefully we can meet in the future.
Speaker 1: Who put the arm around you first? Like rap Wise there,
Speaker 1: Isaiah for sure, Okay, Yeah, he put me on his
Speaker 1: song and that was dope. And then after Isaiah it
Speaker 1: was Um Soul but we haven't made music together yet
Speaker 1: um and then after Soul Scissor. So it's just cool.
Speaker 1: It's just like really wise and like just really cool.
Speaker 1: And he had like a leg brace and he looks
Speaker 1: like a pirate and it's really cool. Like the name
Speaker 1: of the project is she her Black b Yeah, I'm
Speaker 1: not going to say the word. Yes. Can you explain
Speaker 1: with the title of your latest project means? It means
Speaker 1: so many different things, please. So going back to like,
Speaker 1: I like to address a lot of my trauma and
Speaker 1: I like to like get through things and unpack and
Speaker 1: work through things with a lot of my music. And
Speaker 1: me and my friends came up with this concept for
Speaker 1: a production company. We want to produce music videos for
Speaker 1: different artists and do visuals and shows and stuff. And
Speaker 1: we ended up calling it I say b right, don't
Speaker 1: say it, Okay, I can say it. So we ended
Speaker 1: up coming up with the name Those Black Bitches, inspired
Speaker 1: by Kendrick Lamar's The little homies and we just thought
Speaker 1: it was funny at first, but then we really started
Speaker 1: unpacking it, and my friend at the time of Yenda,
Speaker 1: she was like, um, what if one day we went
Speaker 1: an award and like all these white people have to
Speaker 1: present an award and say this is presented to those
Speaker 1: black bitches. We thought it was like something about it
Speaker 1: is like dark but empowering out the same way that
Speaker 1: I'm still trying to figure out how to explain to
Speaker 1: people or have those black queens. Um, you know, that's great,
Speaker 1: that's great. It's just that's great too, But it's like,
Speaker 1: I don't know, it's something about there's like an archetype
Speaker 1: of a black bitch. When I'm talking about the black bitch,
Speaker 1: I'm talking about this character we're creating, or this this
Speaker 1: character that people think we are. And I thought it
Speaker 1: was kind of funny, so I get can so absolutely absolutely,
Speaker 1: I'm using it. I'm using it as a weapon. I
Speaker 1: love it. I think it's I think it's iconic. Do
Speaker 1: you think we can really turn those words into terms
Speaker 1: of endiment. I mean I always debate about this in
Speaker 1: my head because I'd be trying to stop saying the
Speaker 1: word nigga. But sometimes there's no other words to describe
Speaker 1: these niggas exactly. You know, I think it depends. I
Speaker 1: think it depends. I say all the time, like I
Speaker 1: do not expect for all black women to get behind that.
Speaker 1: But if that archetype resonates with you and you get it,
Speaker 1: or you've been oppressed by the slur black bitch and
Speaker 1: it empowers you to take it back, then that's your business.
Speaker 1: But not everybody is empowered by that. And I feel
Speaker 1: like we are all entitled to choose and not every
Speaker 1: black person is entitled by the word nikka, and we
Speaker 1: should respect that. I was gonna ask, how did your
Speaker 1: mom feel? You said, you grow up in the church,
Speaker 1: and now that you're successful, how was your family with
Speaker 1: your success? You know, my mom just hasn't addressed the title.
Speaker 1: She just acts. She just talks about the music does exist.
Speaker 1: She acts like it doesn't exist. We haven't really talked
Speaker 1: about it, but I would assume that she wouldn't it
Speaker 1: wouldn't be something that resonates with her. But I think
Speaker 1: that the fact that she acknowledges that her black daughter
Speaker 1: finds empowerment and something that oppressed her, I think she
Speaker 1: lets me be and she supports it regardless. Who are
Speaker 1: your influences growing up? Was Nicki Minaj first of all,
Speaker 1: one of your Obviously I talk about Nikki all the time. Right,
Speaker 1: you know now that I got the shot, I'm nervous.
Speaker 1: Oh boy, Oh don't usually you say chance? You put
Speaker 1: the cups to somebody. Have you had breakfast? No? No,
Speaker 1: doc you gotta have breakfast first, and name that Docie
Speaker 1: dope che I said, do che No you didn't. I
Speaker 1: don't really influences warm you up. Oh um, Tyler's a
Speaker 1: creator in my a, Kanye West, Drake, Ericabadu, Anita Baker.
Speaker 1: I mean who I said, Tyler, Nikki Trina. I'm from
Speaker 1: Florida's you know, Trick Daddy, Wayne chees Us even like
Speaker 1: gospel influences, Ti trebet I love Kent and Jones. I
Speaker 1: grew up on a lot of Kent, Jones, Clark's sisters,
Speaker 1: et cetera. At the Killer Shall kicking your ass. You
Speaker 1: know they're trying to talk. I'm gonna let it fester
Speaker 1: in my stomach. Now that's all you say. Really, early on,
Speaker 1: you was in tune with your feelings. I could know
Speaker 1: where the vibe was, I could feel the presence of love.
Speaker 1: I'm a churled with my mother. I watched her go
Speaker 1: through years a really bad relationship. She didn't trust anybody
Speaker 1: or herself. I watched her get older and mature, transition
Speaker 1: and find her spirit. She's my first example of what
Speaker 1: a woman is. So what the maturing would your mother looked? Like?
Speaker 1: Where did you get that? I don't know. Wow, I
Speaker 1: think that was like I think was tweet and delete actually,
Speaker 1: but anyway, um, what was the experience? Yeah, with the maturing?
Speaker 1: Would your mother looked like? My mom is a single mom.
Speaker 1: I'm the oldest, so me and my sisters are seven
Speaker 1: years apart. So like, my mom was a young mother too.
Speaker 1: She got pregnant with me at eighteen, So like, I
Speaker 1: literally watched her grow up and it was so interesting
Speaker 1: because we were like really close friends, grew up together,
Speaker 1: we grew up together. It was so interesting watch her,
Speaker 1: watching her grow up, and like, to this day, I
Speaker 1: want to be like my mom. Like it's not even
Speaker 1: about my career. She's just like such a fascinating woman.
Speaker 1: She's so poised, graceful and kind, but also like roaring
Speaker 1: and you're scared of her, And I want to be
Speaker 1: that poise one day. But yeah, that experience really shaped
Speaker 1: who I am now. And just like how I love
Speaker 1: and how I approach life, I'm embodying my mother. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I grew up like real close friends more than mother daughter,
Speaker 1: more like best friends. Nor. My mom doesn't play that. Um,
Speaker 1: she's very very adamant about I am your mother. But
Speaker 1: at times when she was younger, before she matured, that
Speaker 1: did feel like a best friend. Like I was growing
Speaker 1: up with my sister because she was she was wild,
Speaker 1: had a mom act went when you were getting bullied, um,
Speaker 1: because she was a younger mom. So she's the type
Speaker 1: to pull up at the school. And absolutely my mom
Speaker 1: was very protective for me. But it got to a
Speaker 1: point where she was like, okay, girl, how many times
Speaker 1: you're gonna get beat up? Like how many times you're
Speaker 1: gonna get beat up? Are you? Are you gonna keep
Speaker 1: letting people bully you? Are you gonna stand up for yourself?
Speaker 1: So eventually I saw her kind of fall back and
Speaker 1: just allow me to stand up for myself, like you're
Speaker 1: gonna fight back or you're gonna get beat up. And
Speaker 1: I got tired of getting beat up. You can only
Speaker 1: get drugged through the dirt so many times. You remember
Speaker 1: the day you fought back, the first time you fought
Speaker 1: it back. Remember that first day? What happened at that
Speaker 1: first time? Oh my god? Okay, So you know, how
Speaker 1: were you with your cousins? They make everybody fight, absolutely
Speaker 1: so I was the person they used to literally throw
Speaker 1: me out because they knew that they could just beat
Speaker 1: me up like it was bad. I just wouldn't fight back.
Speaker 1: I don't know why. So one day I think I
Speaker 1: was fighting my cousin. I don't want to say her name.
Speaker 1: I was fighting one of my cousins long time ago.
Speaker 1: You can say her name now was no because she
Speaker 1: could fight, I don't want I was fighting her and
Speaker 1: she was going end of me, dragging me, dragging me,
Speaker 1: dragging me, and I was like, you know what to
Speaker 1: get it? So I picked up boomed what boom? Boom? Boomed?
Speaker 1: Would you pick up? I picked her up? Slammed or boomed?
Speaker 1: I'm on talking for a fame, my mom, all my
Speaker 1: cousins laughing, they think it's hilarious. That was my first
Speaker 1: time like fighting back, And then after that, every time
Speaker 1: somebody tried me, I wasn't having it. So she didn't
Speaker 1: want to fight you no more after that, No, she did,
Speaker 1: okay that it's just my first time winning. After that,
Speaker 1: she was like, okay, you got it, but never again
Speaker 1: got back. Oh yeah, absolutely. It was your cousins that
Speaker 1: was bullying you. All other people like everybody was gracious, No,
Speaker 1: everybody was on me. But you know when it's from
Speaker 1: your family is kind of out of love. Like there
Speaker 1: was just like my step brothers. They used to always
Speaker 1: try to like make me fight and like teach me
Speaker 1: how to fight, just to like, you know, talking you
Speaker 1: up a little, toughing me up a little bit. So
Speaker 1: it's like I got to a point where I can
Speaker 1: really eat hits. I lost more fights than I would
Speaker 1: I really can't really bad. But it made me real
Speaker 1: tough and I used to started fighting boys, and then
Speaker 1: I started fighting people and that became a whole thing play.
Speaker 1: I wonder if if when we talk about toughness, does
Speaker 1: it have to be physical, give me more emotional mental,
Speaker 1: Like to me, that's the real that's what helps you
Speaker 1: get through. I feel like I was really tough at
Speaker 1: that age because I wasn't even letting them beat me
Speaker 1: up because I was mainly scared at first. I was scared,
Speaker 1: but then I started feeling bad for them. I was like, wow,
Speaker 1: this is sad. Can't we just go play tag? Yeah?
Speaker 1: Because they were projecting, they probably was getting their ass
Speaker 1: kicked somewhere at home or some place. That's like Florida culture.
Speaker 1: People just love to fight. I really like it too.
Speaker 1: It's kind of fun when the last time you got
Speaker 1: into a fight. Um, actually a couple of months ago.
Speaker 1: Really my downtown apartment. Okay, downtown lay Yeah, I was
Speaker 1: outside my apartment. It was like a drunk situation. They
Speaker 1: were drunk. We were drunk, and we were like on
Speaker 1: these scooters and one of my should I tell it? Yes,
Speaker 1: somebody in my group lost the purse. We went outside
Speaker 1: to look for it. But you know when people are drunk,
Speaker 1: they take it the wrong way. So they was like outside,
Speaker 1: lost the purse outside because we pulled up on the scooters.
Speaker 1: Skirt pull up on the scooters. We went inside, was like, wait,
Speaker 1: lost the purse. We go outside. The group is like
Speaker 1: this girl in the group, she's so loud. I I no,
Speaker 1: nobody got your purse. But I'm like, okay, girl, you drunk,
Speaker 1: Like whatever, we're looking for the purse. We ain't got
Speaker 1: your purse, dada, I go back inside, go back inside.
Speaker 1: I'm like, okay, girl, like relax, go back inside, back inside.
Speaker 1: And I was just like, you're not gonna keep telling
Speaker 1: me to go back inside. I'm already going back inside.
Speaker 1: And I don't like that. So we started going back
Speaker 1: at it. It's you, it's your apartment. She's telling me
Speaker 1: to go on, That's what I'm saying. But you're not
Speaker 1: gonna tell me to go She's not gonna tell me
Speaker 1: to go in there. So we go back and forth.
Speaker 1: I can't remember a lot of it because I was drug.
Speaker 1: Eventually I just popped up because she was running her mouth.
Speaker 1: Oh you're not gonna touch me. You're not gonna touch me. Okay, Yeah,

Speaker 1: and three girls. It was bad. Wait a minute, Wait
Speaker 1: a minute, but two of the girls ran. I was

Speaker 1: her friend. So it's really four on three. Yeah, two
Speaker 1: of them ran, So you girl, So you the girlfriend
Speaker 1: that's gonna start trouble even though that you're outnumbered, because
Speaker 1: it seemed like y'all was outnumbered. You knew you was outnumbered,
Speaker 1: and now you just got your man beat up because
Speaker 1: just in the house. Because yeah, you would say it
Speaker 1: was three dudes. It's about that's a dignity, our dignity.
Speaker 1: It's about respect, and this is my house. You're not
Speaker 1: going to try to be about three dudes. But he
Speaker 1: has his dignity. Let me after y'all, after y'all got jumped,

Speaker 1: gonna continue to rise. You're gonna have to learn that,
Speaker 1: you know, turn the other cheek on a shut up.
Speaker 1: You have to learn to turn the other cheek on

Speaker 1: lot of people watching me, and who would I be
Speaker 1: to compromise my integrity? My integrity? I don't care. No,
Speaker 1: you have to, I don't care. I mean, always defend yourself,

Speaker 1: was known to like knock somebody out, so people would
Speaker 1: just jump in front of him, knowing Fat Joe would

Speaker 1: he was like the earth was made in seven days,
Speaker 1: and like seven is just like a really prominent important
Speaker 1: and his birthdays on the seven. So yeah, we got
Speaker 1: the seven, and I mean it still resonates. But yeah, exactly.
Speaker 1: We were friends for like what like maybe three four years,
Speaker 1: and we were together form I think like a little
Speaker 1: over a year. Okay, Yeah, well y'all like not to
Speaker 1: be personal, Well, y'all like just friends or like friends
Speaker 1: friends for those three peoples, like we were like friends,
Speaker 1: like friends, friends, like nasty. Yeah, but then we started
Speaker 1: having sex. That's what I meant. Oh yeah, we were
Speaker 1: like friends, but it was like casual. It wasn't even nothing.
Speaker 1: It was just like this is what friends do. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and then we grow in some more and then no,
Speaker 1: it went from being friends. And then he proposed to me,
Speaker 1: like randomly, really, and I was like, why not? Say, yeah, absolutely,
Speaker 1: what happened? We didn't? We broke up? Interesting, Yeah, is
Speaker 1: that do you think he's about? I say, do you
Speaker 1: think he's the one? No? No, not at all, you know,
Speaker 1: at least not who he is right now. People can change,
Speaker 1: and like just the person he is right now, absolutely not.
Speaker 1: And I think the person I am right now is
Speaker 1: like not fitting for the type of relationship that he wants.
Speaker 1: Since has changed the relationship, I think so blowing up
Speaker 1: and on tour on the road, I think so I
Speaker 1: became way more busy, that's way way Yeah, I became
Speaker 1: way more busy, And I just I think he started
Speaker 1: to feel like he wasn't a priority because I'm working.
Speaker 1: Has he been doing any of the work that, like,
Speaker 1: I guess process maybe some of his unhealed trauma or
Speaker 1: some of the childhood wounds that he has. I don't
Speaker 1: think so I would hope, so, I would hope. So
Speaker 1: we don't talk now like I have. I don't even
Speaker 1: I couldn't call him if I wanted to. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: feel like you're very in tune with your feelings though, absolutely.
Speaker 1: What do you think got you in tune with your
Speaker 1: feelings so early? My mom really taught me, like how,
Speaker 1: I don't I don't know. Maybe church. I just like
Speaker 1: I was speaking in tongues when I was like ten. Mm,
Speaker 1: so like I just have always, like had a longing
Speaker 1: to connect with spirit and God, and I look for
Speaker 1: God and everything that I do. I mean, God isn't
Speaker 1: everything that exactly? Yeah, did you ever want to be
Speaker 1: a pastor or anything? You ever thought that? You know?
Speaker 1: I feel like I am a pastor right now. Oh yeah,
Speaker 1: in my music and as an artist. It's just not
Speaker 1: in the traditional way that other people see it. I
Speaker 1: think it's in the way that, uh, it's the best
Speaker 1: way actually, because I don't think there's nothing that can
Speaker 1: get messaging across more than music. Yeah, So I feel
Speaker 1: like I'm ministering in my music, even when people don't
Speaker 1: feel like it's gospel. I think it is m as
Speaker 1: a child, did you make up fake characters because you
Speaker 1: got bullied and have different characters? Just a fake character? Well,
Speaker 1: I mean it's a it's a character character. Um Nah,
Speaker 1: I was that the imagine it? I'm trying to It's
Speaker 1: like everything in me wants to say I didn't. Effects
Speaker 1: are amazing, imaginary imagine. I don't know. I think I
Speaker 1: did do that, but it sounds cooler if I say
Speaker 1: I didn't. I don't want people to think I'm wearing
Speaker 1: because I was an only child for seven years, So yeah,
Speaker 1: I probably did. I can say because your sound effects
Speaker 1: are amazing. You talk like miss Yell and a little
Speaker 1: Wayne rap. Really yeah, see you make your own sound
Speaker 1: effects and everything else. That's what I said, is it's
Speaker 1: because that's the only child sound effects. I did the
Speaker 1: same thing. Yeah, I used to like because you play
Speaker 1: with yourself pose exactly like set up. I've been playing myself.
Speaker 1: You know, if you play with yourself, you play with yourself.
Speaker 1: I know, yes, yes, when you were a child. No,
Speaker 1: I mean even now, but not with no don't you
Speaker 1: what are we having this conversation for exactly exactly? Yeah?
Speaker 1: Now do you think do you think the craziest people
Speaker 1: in America come from Florida. I think the most liberated
Speaker 1: people come from Florida. Explain, I don't think that Floridians
Speaker 1: are crazy. I think that we are free. We are free,
Speaker 1: and we don't give a damn. I think y'all need
Speaker 1: some rules and regulations now. I think it's too much
Speaker 1: freedom in Florida. Really. Yes, I don't know what people
Speaker 1: do the British accent all the time. You live in
Speaker 1: Florida now in La No, I don't live in Florida, right, Yeah,
Speaker 1: I don't live in Florida. Is that sage? Yes, it
Speaker 1: is Florid sage here all the time. You know, you
Speaker 1: gotta keep you keep the energy right in the room.
Speaker 1: What the sage means to you? Protection? Um, cleansing, Um,
Speaker 1: that's it protection in cleansing. For me, it's like just
Speaker 1: a representation. Yeah. It helps you set your set your
Speaker 1: intent exactly. You know, Okay, you sage a lot sometimes
Speaker 1: What do you do? What do you do when you
Speaker 1: wake up in the morning, Like, what do your aff
Speaker 1: for me? Like, what do you what do you do
Speaker 1: to set your intention for the day you have like
Speaker 1: a good day? Yeah, I go with the vibes. I
Speaker 1: don't believe in routine, at least not for this stage
Speaker 1: in my life. Too much routine, It's just it makes
Speaker 1: you so stiff. So I try to be in the
Speaker 1: present moment. But on a good day, my morning routine
Speaker 1: is like waking up, apple side of vinegar shot open up.
Speaker 1: I have to turn the ac off, open up all
Speaker 1: the windows in the house, let the air in, pilates,
Speaker 1: hop in the pool, skin routine, buff a bath, and
Speaker 1: then I get to work. Do you feel like it's
Speaker 1: hard growing up in this era where it's like everything
Speaker 1: is and you pray? Do you feel like it's hard
Speaker 1: growing up in this era when you where everything is
Speaker 1: so like transparent, it's like every second in your life
Speaker 1: is damn near on social media somewhere. It's not hard
Speaker 1: for me. It is a little odd sometimes, but it's
Speaker 1: not hard for me because I'm like, I'm an internet baby.
Speaker 1: So even before I was doing music, I had a
Speaker 1: YouTube channel where i would just talk about all my
Speaker 1: business all the time. I'm extremely transparent, and it's not
Speaker 1: hard for me to be transparent at all on the
Speaker 1: Internet because that's how I've been communicating with the world
Speaker 1: since I was literally like able to talk. Is that
Speaker 1: good a bad? Though? I wonder m it can be bad.
Speaker 1: It's been positive in my life though it doesn't affect
Speaker 1: it helps me even so. It makes me like really
Speaker 1: honest and brave, and I feel empowered by it. Sometimes.
Speaker 1: I wonder if when late nowadays, gonna label signed a
Speaker 1: younger artist and they'd be like, okay, let's go scrub
Speaker 1: you in in that history. So before you think so,
Speaker 1: just in case, I would hope they will. They they
