[00:11:22] There are certain things that we do not

[00:11:24] Want other people to touch and therefore

[00:11:26] We do not put them in areas where other

[00:11:28] People have access like we

[00:14:39] You tune into the fix

[00:14:41] And the fix is in

[00:14:43] I'm Justin Adams and this is your The Fix Faith

[00:14:45] And Sports Report

[00:14:47] This was the first weekend without football

[00:14:49] And to be honest with you man I missed it

[00:14:51] But you know what we had a lot of basketball

[00:14:53] Hockey season is in full effect

[00:14:55] So we got a lot of different things to talk about

[00:14:57] Our scripture verses of the day

[00:14:59] And it comes from Proverbs 13 20

[00:15:01] Which says this in a new living translation

[00:15:03] Walk with the wise and become wise

[00:15:05] Associate with fools

[00:15:07] And get in trouble again

[00:15:09] Walk with the wise

[00:15:11] And become wise

[00:15:13] Associate with fools

[00:15:15] And get in trouble

[00:15:17] The English Standard Version also says this

[00:15:19] Whoever walks with the wise becomes wise

[00:15:21] But the companion of fools

[00:15:23] Will suffer harm again

[00:15:25] And that's Proverbs 13 20

[00:15:27] Which is our verse in the day

[00:15:29] Alright so for the first time since 2017

[00:15:31] The NBA All-Star Game

[00:15:33] We're turned to the Eastern Conference

[00:15:35] Versus Western Conference format

[00:15:37] In hopes of making a game a lot more competitive

[00:15:39] Well that didn't happen

[00:15:41] As the Eastern Conference beat the Western Conference

[00:15:43] In a very lackluster game

[00:15:45] 211 to 186

[00:15:47] Yes, 211

[00:15:49] 211 to 186

[00:15:51] Yes, 211

[00:15:53] 211 to 186

[00:15:55] Yes, 211 to 186

[00:15:57] Yes, 211 to 186

[00:15:59] It was the highest score in All-Star Game

[00:16:01] In league history

[00:16:03] Milwaukee Bucks guard Damian Lillard scored 39

[00:16:05] Points and was named the

[00:16:07] 2024 Kobe Bryant All-Star

[00:16:09] Game MVP

[00:16:11] Hey College Hoops starting in the top 25

[00:16:13] We have a number 2 team

[00:16:24] With the coaching change

[00:16:26] And they rocked the college basketball world today

[00:16:28] With a 4 point win

[00:16:30] The Ohio State Buckeyes upset

[00:16:32] The second ranked Purdue bowling makers

[00:16:34] By our final score of 73

[00:16:36] To 69

[00:16:38] Now this win comes after Ohio State's head coach

[00:16:40] Chris Holstman

[00:18:24] Man in your squad stopping by

[00:18:26] Man today just to talk about

[00:18:28] A little bit of everything music wise

[00:18:30] First though you know

[00:18:32] Catch people up a little bit on

[00:18:34] A little bit of your faith journey man

[00:18:36] Because I think you got a unique faith story

[00:18:38] That people need to hear before we talk

[00:18:40] About all the music and the collaborations

[00:18:42] Yeah I

[00:18:44] Found Christ

[00:18:46] A number of years ago maybe from the last

[00:18:48] 15 to 20 years of my life

[00:18:50] Through kind of a tragic incident

[00:18:52] But at the same time I'm glad it happened

[00:18:54] Because it led me to

[00:18:56] My Lord and Savior and it was

[00:18:58] What a difference it made in my life

[00:19:00] And I'm just grateful for every day

[00:19:02] Of life man every day I get to wake up

[00:19:04] And experience this

[00:19:06] Go through this journey every day man

[00:19:08] I'm just so grateful for it

[00:19:10] That's good thanks for sharing that

[00:19:12] You know so walk us through how

[00:19:14] Did you even start to

[00:19:16] When was your first introduction

[00:19:18] Into doing any form of music

[00:19:20] Okay that happened

[00:19:22] As a teenager I used to try and

[00:19:24] Write songs and everything and

[00:19:26] It was a dream of mine

[00:19:28] And when I was a young man

[00:19:30] I actually had went to the studio

[00:19:32] And recorded the song

[00:19:34] And got some interest

[00:19:36] And I say this

[00:19:38] Back in the mid 90's and

[00:19:40] I was at the park

[00:19:42] Had been in Baltimore

[00:19:44] And his role manager and everything

[00:19:46] And the guy that I

[00:19:48] Whose studio I was working out of

[00:19:50] Gave me his number

[00:19:52] And I was supposed to call him

[00:19:54] Because I had some interest in it

[00:19:56] Just before I'm saved or anything like that

[00:19:58] And unfortunately

[00:20:00] Two Park Pass

[00:20:02] So that opportunity kind of

[00:20:04] Went away

[00:20:06] And I kind of you know

[00:20:08] Like I said I got involved

[00:20:10] I was introduced to the Lord

[00:20:12] Changed my life

[00:20:14] And I decided

[00:20:16] After that happened that I would

[00:20:18] At that point in time go back and try

[00:20:20] And I heard the Lord whisper to me

[00:20:22] To give this music opportunity one more chance

[00:20:24] And that's what I did and I said Lord

[00:20:26] If I do

[00:20:28] I'm going to give it everything I have

[00:20:30] And that's what happened and you know

[00:20:32] We are the rest of history

[00:20:34] Well you were a little reserved

[00:20:36] To call Two Park's manager

[00:20:38] Robo

[00:20:39] So you found a connection to

[00:20:41] Two Park and kind of to work with them

[00:20:43] Where you're a little reserved to call

[00:20:45] What was, what was, I understand

[00:20:47] You said he passed away but

[00:20:49] Did you kind of sit on that for a while

[00:20:51] Before you thought about calling?

[00:20:53] Yeah I actually did because I wanted this

[00:20:55] To be perfect before I gave him the call

[00:20:57] I wanted a song to be absolutely perfect

[00:20:59] I'm just a, I try to be a perfectionist

[00:21:01] As much as you know

[00:21:03] That's kind of my nature

[00:21:05] I'm just going to be absolutely perfect before I send it out

[00:21:07] And possibly share it with the world

[00:21:09] So with my, with me doing that

[00:21:11] Unfortunately he met his untimely demise

[00:21:13] And it just

[00:21:15] It just, it just

[00:21:17] Kind of set me off in a spiral

[00:21:19] No that makes sense

[00:21:21] Talk a little bit about that a little bit more man

[00:21:23] Because I love what I can talk about

[00:21:25] You know hip hop about all things hip hop

[00:21:27] With somebody who knows the genre

[00:21:29] And just knows how the history of hip hop

[00:21:31] Of course last year we know we celebrated 50 years

[00:21:33] What do you think we still are

[00:21:35] You know I know you know it was last year 50 years

[00:21:37] But what do you think the hip hop culture is

[00:21:39] In itself

[00:21:41] When you talk about 50 years, 51 years

[00:21:43] Now of the genre being around

[00:21:45] What do you think we are when you talk about the state of hip hop

[00:21:48] Um

[00:21:50] Listen I go back to Sugar Hill game

[00:21:52] I remember when this thing kicked off

[00:21:54] Back in the late 70's

[00:21:56] And we've come a

[00:21:59] A mighty long way

[00:22:01] In terms of hip hop being an influence

[00:22:03] In our culture

[00:22:05] And uh

[00:22:07] But not everything has been necessarily positive

[00:22:09] You know not everything has been

[00:22:11] Necessarily positive and that's one

[00:22:13] One thing when um

[00:22:15] When I became saved

[00:22:17] You know I made it

[00:22:19] I was determined to um

[00:22:21] To put out positive

[00:22:23] Uplifting spiritual music

[00:22:25] Just thanking God

[00:22:27] Basically for everyday life man

[00:22:29] I just heard my determination

[00:22:31] Why do you think hip hop got away from that message

[00:22:33] Cause I agree with you

[00:22:35] Uh the origin of hip hop

[00:22:37] When you talk about like you say the late 70's

[00:22:39] Early 80's it still

[00:22:41] You know absolutely it was storytelling on

[00:22:43] You know culture and things

[00:22:45] Societal issues and everything

[00:22:47] But it was still always to uplift our culture

[00:22:49] Why do you think the message got away from that

[00:22:51] I think to a degree um

[00:22:53] We started uh

[00:22:55] With some

[00:22:57] With some

[00:22:59] Started celebrating it was

[00:23:01] For some it was a celebration of um

[00:23:03] The wrong things in our culture

[00:23:05] Um

[00:23:07] I just you know we started

[00:23:09] Glorifying some violence

[00:23:11] Some drugs

[00:23:13] Things of this nature we started becoming more

[00:23:15] More aggressive

[00:23:17] I think and that started

[00:23:19] I think people started celebrating that

[00:23:21] And unfortunately

[00:23:23] We're seeing we're kind of seeing the fruits of that now

[00:23:25] We have so much uh gang violence

[00:23:27] And activity in our streets now

[00:23:29] As I believe a direct result of that

[00:23:31] Because now that's glorifying

[00:23:33] Yeah yeah it is

[00:23:35] And it shouts out to you know the ones

[00:23:37] Who are listening uh who are still making some

[00:23:39] Positive uh hip hop out there

[00:23:41] I know there are still some artists mainstream artists

[00:23:43] Outside of what we do in our genre

[00:23:45] You know Christian hip hop, faith invasive hip hop

[00:23:47] So yeah that's good

[00:23:49] So come on man talk us through man

[00:23:51] I know you got uh you know you got your squad

[00:23:53] You got your music journey to as well

[00:23:55] Uh Goodie Shepherd as well as uh Chas Grant

[00:23:57] How did you connect with them

[00:23:59] And I know they want to hop into

[00:24:01] As well and tell a little bit of their music

[00:24:03] Journey to as well

[00:24:05] Sure uh with Chas and Isis

[00:24:07] Be on the same praise and worship team

[00:24:09] At our church

[00:24:11] We started out working together

[00:24:13] They're actually uh praise and worship leader

[00:24:15] She led us and we just

[00:24:17] We got introduced to Goodie

[00:24:19] Through a mutual friend

[00:24:21] You know so it's been a blessing

[00:24:23] To work with them on this particular project

[00:24:25] And I'm just encouraged

[00:24:27] And uh thank God for them

[00:24:29] That's good

[00:24:31] So Chas can I let me just

[00:24:33] Talk to you for a moment uh just speak

[00:24:35] About your unique sound

[00:24:37] I think you bring something different to this record

[00:24:39] That's needed

[00:24:41] So just speak to your unique sound

[00:24:43] Somebody would ask you you know who would you compare yourself

[00:24:45] To or what is your unique

[00:24:47] Singing sound what would you tell

[00:24:49] People

[00:24:51] First off I want to say thank you for having us here

[00:24:53] It's really a honor to be here

[00:24:55] Talk to you

[00:24:57] My sound I think my influences

[00:24:59] Would be like

[00:25:01] Murray Murray

[00:25:03] Jill Scott

[00:25:05] Just a combination of like

[00:25:07] Neosoul and gospel

[00:25:09] Cause that's what I was raised on from my mom

[00:25:11] She would sing to me as a child

[00:25:13] And I would pick up one of those things

[00:25:15] Also like

[00:25:17] Different choirs and stuff

[00:25:19] Cause I grew up singing in community choirs

[00:25:21] And at school and stuff like that

[00:25:23] One of my best friends started his own

[00:25:25] Community choir voices of inspiration

[00:25:27] When we were in high school

[00:25:29] And I get a lot of my vibrato

[00:25:31] From

[00:25:33] Having to push out those big notes

[00:25:35] So I have

[00:25:37] Like a heavy vibrato

[00:25:39] With like a alto tone

[00:25:41] It's very reflective

[00:25:43] Of the music that I listen to

[00:25:45] Which is like really heavy and

[00:25:47] Heavily inspired by like Neosoul

[00:25:49] And R&B

[00:25:51] And gospel

[00:25:53] Cause when I was growing up

[00:25:55] People like Murray Murray and

[00:25:57] Kirk Franklin and all of those

[00:25:59] Artists who had a combination of those

[00:26:01] Types of things

[00:26:03] That's what I was listening to

[00:26:05] As well as like Yolanda Adams love her

[00:26:07] One of the best singers of all time

[00:26:11] But yeah those are the type

[00:26:13] Of influences that I have

[00:26:15] And you've been singing a long time

[00:26:17] Talk about that

[00:26:19] I feel like you've always kind of

[00:26:21] Been like a little singing little hummingbirds

[00:26:23] Since you're like four years old

[00:26:25] So you know

[00:26:27] Speak to the importance of one just growing up

[00:26:29] Singing being able to have that gift early

[00:26:31] But also I do agree

[00:26:33] With a lot of the artists you said

[00:26:35] That you know you kind of feel like

[00:26:37] You have some similarities to them

[00:26:39] But I still think you do have your own

[00:26:41] Unique style speak to the

[00:26:43] Importance of not staying stuck

[00:26:45] In a box and being uniquely

[00:26:47] You with your sound

[00:26:49] Well with me

[00:26:51] Because I have such a

[00:26:53] Heavy vibrato for me

[00:26:55] It had to be something that I grew into

[00:26:57] Being confident in when I was

[00:26:59] A little you know baby

[00:27:01] Or whatever singing because I used to

[00:27:03] Call in on the radio my cousin used to

[00:27:05] Work for Heaven 600 here in Baltimore

[00:27:07] And my mother would call

[00:27:09] And let me sing

[00:27:11] I can't remember the song right now

[00:27:13] However

[00:27:15] I was so confident as a

[00:27:17] Baby or whatever you get older

[00:27:19] You start comparing yourself to other people

[00:27:21] Now that I'm you know in my womanhood

[00:27:23] I've started to be comfortable with

[00:27:25] My own voice and making things work

[00:27:27] For me and listening to artists

[00:27:29] Who have similarities to me

[00:27:31] So that I can you know

[00:27:33] Champion my own voice

[00:27:35] And be confident in that not only

[00:27:37] Being able to sing

[00:27:39] And minister has

[00:27:41] Made me draw closer to God

[00:27:43] It gives me a way to be able to

[00:27:45] Express myself to him

[00:27:47] Myself without having it

[00:27:49] You know compared to anybody else's

[00:27:51] Praise he's given me such a gift

[00:27:53] To be able to really give it back

[00:27:55] To him so it's a blessing

[00:27:57] To be able to sing all the time

[00:27:59] When I'm down I can sing whatever

[00:28:01] I'm going through I sing all day

[00:28:03] To help me get through my day

[00:28:05] And it's such a blessing to be able to have that

[00:28:07] In combination

[00:28:09] With being able to you know speak to God

[00:28:11] Directly but I can speak to him

[00:28:13] In a way that is comfortable for me

[00:28:15] Because singing is something that

[00:28:17] Comes natural

[00:28:19] That's good thanks for sharing

[00:28:21] Come on goodie let me talk to you for a moment

[00:28:23] Because you do a little bit of everything goodie

[00:28:25] And I think the people need to know

[00:28:27] So first man

[00:28:29] So I hate to

[00:28:31] Put you on the spot like this but if you had to pick

[00:28:33] Which one do you like the best

[00:28:35] Do you like producing better or you like being an

[00:28:37] Artist better

[00:28:39] I

[00:28:41] I like being an artist better

[00:28:43] Okay

[00:28:45] It was something that you know started out as me a child

[00:28:47] Being a child my father was

[00:28:49] Instrumentally he played trumpet

[00:28:51] And I wanted to be like him

[00:28:53] So I started off playing the trombone in third grade

[00:28:55] And music

[00:28:57] I loved there and as he

[00:28:59] You know come getting older and older

[00:29:01] And I was in the middle of it and I was

[00:29:03] Playing with him in a shape as far as the musician

[00:29:05] I learned that oh if I play this keyboard

[00:29:07] It'll have a thousand different sounds on it

[00:29:09] And I could play everything with this keyboard

[00:29:11] So I started playing the keyboard

[00:29:13] And then I was introducing to like studio work

[00:29:15] By other people and God just kept

[00:29:17] Putting things in my way like

[00:29:19] You know put things in my path

[00:29:21] And I wasn't really realizing it

[00:29:23] Like the young man I was chasing money

[00:29:25] Was very secular minded

[00:29:27] And didn't see that people

[00:29:29] Christian hip hop even then and I was like

[00:29:31] Ah it was cool this is different but you know

[00:29:33] It ain't what I wanted to be

[00:29:35] And um I guess

[00:29:37] Everybody in my family

[00:29:39] In my generation are rappers

[00:29:41] And I was a kid looking up at my older brothers rapping

[00:29:43] And stuff and I said let me give this a try

[00:29:45] And while producing I was learning

[00:29:47] How to rap and I really started

[00:29:49] Starting rapping like at 14

[00:29:51] And 16 I started taking it a little

[00:29:53] Almost serious and I realized

[00:29:55] That yeah although I love

[00:29:57] Producing and making music

[00:29:59] This is how I can get a message across

[00:30:01] And I double dabble with Christian

[00:30:03] Hip hop until like the age of 25

[00:30:05] When I actually heard God speak to me

[00:30:07] Speak to me and um

[00:30:09] He started revealing things to me about the evil

[00:30:11] That's inside the music industry these days

[00:30:13] Um there's actual

[00:30:15] Satan worship that goes on

[00:30:17] There's demonic worship that goes on

[00:30:19] He opened my eyes to the lust

[00:30:21] He opened my eyes to demonic things

[00:30:23] Like I see and he was like alright that's enough study

[00:30:25] Back to me and I feel as though

[00:30:27] With all that

[00:30:29] In my um in my history

[00:30:31] And things I've experienced

[00:30:33] I can get a message across better

[00:30:35] Not with just instruments but with a vocal

[00:30:37] And with uh rapping

[00:30:39] And that's the language of the young folk

[00:30:41] Today is it's hip hop

[00:30:43] You know we rap and sing we sing

[00:30:45] And we gotta get a positive message out

[00:30:47] And I could put an instrument on

[00:30:49] But if it comes to giving that word

[00:30:51] I think rapping would be more of a love for me

[00:30:53] That's solid

[00:30:55] Listen you said something I gotta go back a little bit

[00:30:57] You said something and I wanna get some thoughts

[00:30:59] On some feedback

[00:31:01] From you on

[00:31:03] Did you think the church is running away

[00:31:05] From the spiritual conversation

[00:31:07] You said something about a God

[00:31:09] Kind of revealed to you the spirit

[00:31:11] That was over the music industry

[00:31:13] And how it was demonic in certain areas

[00:31:15] Do you think the church is running away from those conversations

[00:31:17] When you talk about spiritual warfare

[00:31:19] And things being spiritual

[00:31:21] Outside of looking at the individual

[00:31:23] Instead of identifying

[00:31:25] The spirit that's in that person

[00:31:27] I don't think the church is running away

[00:31:29] From it pertaining to the music industry

[00:31:31] I think they just don't know about it

[00:31:33] Now they come up with

[00:31:35] Black and white there's no gray area

[00:31:37] As far as church they say

[00:31:39] You shouldn't listen to this and this is the wrong music

[00:31:41] But they don't talk about the spiritual implications

[00:31:43] Behind it simple fact this

[00:31:45] Because there's not a lot of people speaking out about

[00:31:47] The study of spiritual warfare behind

[00:31:49] What we're listening to

[00:31:51] I've been to many churches where I've had to tell them about

[00:31:53] Why I do Christian hip hop

[00:31:55] And it's like you know I have to explain to them

[00:31:57] This power in the tongue

[00:31:59] Now they can agree with that because that's in the bible

[00:32:01] And it's straight black and white

[00:32:03] When I say well when you sing something

[00:32:05] Or rap something or put praise into it

[00:32:07] You actually giving it power

[00:32:09] So you're not just giving it power to manifest

[00:32:11] You're actually speaking things to give it power

[00:32:13] Because you're singing it into your life

[00:32:15] So they are not even educated on it yet

[00:32:17] And there's a lot of churches that are

[00:32:19] But there's a lot of churches that need to catch up

[00:32:21] And I don't think they're afraid and the ones that I've

[00:32:23] Chared the message with

[00:32:25] They were accepted of it

[00:32:27] They accepted the message

[00:32:29] So during the outreach

[00:32:31] They think it's just more so

[00:32:33] They're not running they just don't know about it

[00:32:37] So walk us through your creative process

[00:32:39] Before I get you out of here

[00:32:41] Because I gotta know

[00:32:43] Because listen you're

[00:32:45] You know a lot of you played a lot of instruments

[00:32:47] Of course now you do production

[00:32:49] So you in the 808s

[00:32:51] You in the melodic sounds

[00:32:53] What's your creative process when you go in the studio

[00:32:55] To make a track like are you one that has to

[00:32:57] Are you laying your track down first

[00:32:59] Or do you because you're an artist

[00:33:01] Do you start rapping it first

[00:33:03] You looking for the hook you looking for

[00:33:05] You know I'm saying somebody to be featured on it

[00:33:07] Walk us through your creative process

[00:33:09] For putting together a complete track

[00:33:11] Well

[00:33:13] You know in tune with the spirit

[00:33:15] Gotta be a whole spirit speak to me about something

[00:33:17] I can go sit down

[00:33:19] Play with music and won't come up with anything

[00:33:21] But when I do come up with something

[00:33:23] I automatically just hear it

[00:33:25] And I start playing around with it like okay

[00:33:27] I like this and I take this out and I put this in

[00:33:29] Take this sound out and I put this sound

[00:33:31] And I play with it

[00:33:33] I lay down the sound first to beat

[00:33:35] But as far as writing

[00:33:37] It's gotta make sense and it has to have

[00:33:39] Some essence of the Bible in it

[00:33:41] So I don't lead anybody astray

[00:33:43] And mostly when I get

[00:33:45] Through and I and I and I be a God

[00:33:47] About Holy Spirit the spirit guys depend

[00:33:49] And I just put that lyrical behind it

[00:33:51] And if it sounds like

[00:33:53] It don't sound like it's making any sense to me

[00:33:55] I take it out and I just

[00:33:57] Keep running with it I just keep running with it

[00:33:59] And I just make sure that everything that I do

[00:34:01] That has anything to do with music

[00:34:03] Is Holy Spirit guided

[00:34:05] And then at the end of it

[00:34:07] I got everything where I think I needed to be

[00:34:09] And I just like to say hey do you like this

[00:34:11] And she either give me the thumbs up

[00:34:13] Smart man

[00:34:15] And I give you the thumbs down

[00:34:17] Sometimes I don't like it

[00:34:19] But sometimes I always take

[00:34:21] Criticism very well and I sit back

[00:34:23] And I analyze

[00:34:25] What I'm writing and when it sounds like

[00:34:27] It's a dope verse or it sound like it's a dope song

[00:34:29] I get the green like to go

[00:34:31] And then

[00:34:33] I just make sure that it's everything

[00:34:35] That's sending I don't want to meet

[00:34:37] The audience with anything

[00:34:39] That's good man

[00:34:41] Thanks for sharing that man

[00:34:43] Shout out to all the kingdom wives

[00:34:45] Who hold us accountable and keep it a buck

[00:34:47] When they tell us what we don't want to hear sometimes

[00:34:49] It is

[00:34:51] Come on Bo60 man

[00:34:53] Come on talk about it man

[00:34:55] What made you want to start

[00:34:57] Your own label man

[00:34:59] You got to run my race entertainment

[00:35:01] Just talk about that

[00:35:03] And then let's talk a little bit about this EP

[00:35:05] But first talk about the label

[00:35:07] Well the label came about

[00:35:09] As a direct result

[00:35:11] Of I didn't actually

[00:35:13] Want to be signed to a label

[00:35:15] One of the majors

[00:35:17] Or an audition

[00:35:19] For it I wanted to come out

[00:35:21] I wanted to have the power to do the type of music that I wanted to

[00:35:23] To put out

[00:35:25] Without basically without interference

[00:35:27] You know necessarily from a label they made

[00:35:29] You know

[00:35:31] They made me to put out a whole EP

[00:35:33] Of lift my

[00:35:35] A lift his name

[00:35:37] And that's not what the spirit led me to do

[00:35:39] So I wanted to have the freedom to put out

[00:35:41] What I was led

[00:35:43] What I feel the spirit leading me to put out

[00:35:45] That's kind of been my vision

[00:35:47] So I said you know the best way to do that

[00:35:49] Is to have my own

[00:35:51] Creative control myself

[00:35:53] And put what the spirit has led me to put out

[00:35:55] I don't want to worry about answering

[00:35:57] Somebody or somebody

[00:35:59] No that's not going to be

[00:36:01] That's not going to be an effect

[00:36:03] That's not going to make us any money

[00:36:05] I don't want anybody to have that

[00:36:07] You know not necessarily

[00:36:09] I don't necessarily know what all entails with

[00:36:11] The major labels but

[00:36:13] You know I'm sure there's some creative control there

[00:36:15] So I wanted to have that

[00:36:17] That was my thing

[00:36:19] The half control of whatever I decided

[00:36:21] To put out

[00:36:23] Yeah nothing wrong with that and absolutely you need

[00:36:25] It's two sides to it

[00:36:27] I understand that we are doing

[00:36:29] Safe based Christian music

[00:36:31] Gospel music

[00:36:33] We would be amongst all those genres

[00:36:35] But yeah the fact is

[00:36:37] Absolutely there's a ministry part of it

[00:36:39] And there's a business aspect of it too as well

[00:36:41] So I agree sometimes

[00:36:43] You don't come to a business agreement

[00:36:45] You know if you don't think it's the right deal

[00:36:47] For you you got to do what works best for you

[00:36:49] So I'm not mad at you for doing that

[00:36:51] Wise man so come on

[00:36:53] Talk about this EP man

[00:36:55] You got a couple of your super friends already on it

[00:43:50] And I pitched her

[00:43:52] An idea

[00:43:54] And I think I might've given her a hook of the words or whatever

[00:43:56] But she was like

[00:43:58] I really think if we did it like

[00:44:00] This is gonna be

[00:44:02] Boop de boop

[00:44:04] She's a real one

[00:44:06] And I'll be honest with you cause a lot of people won't

[00:44:08] They'll just go with your idea

[00:44:10] Because you gave them the idea

[00:44:12] But she was like

[00:44:14] Take a look at how this could be different

[00:44:16] And how it could be better and how it could go here

[00:44:18] Versus there

[00:44:20] And so that's why I'm saying I'm giving her extra props today

[00:44:22] Because that's what you need

[00:44:24] When you're an artist

[00:44:26] And you know focus as a DJ

[00:44:28] Before these people send us their music

[00:44:30] We know if they sent it to anybody else first

[00:44:32] Because we hear it and we're like

[00:44:34] You should have shopped that to

[00:44:36] You should at least let a few other people hear that

[00:44:38] Before you sent it to me

[00:44:40] Because they would've told you what you needed to fix

[00:44:42] You know

[00:44:44] And so I'm really

[00:44:46] Yeah, so she's one of them

[00:44:48] Like you're gonna send it to her

[00:44:50] But she's gonna tell you like

[00:44:52] We gotta change this because

[00:44:54] In one her name is attached to it

[00:44:56] I know that's why she does it

[00:44:58] But two I know she loves the Lord

[00:45:00] And she does not do blah blah blah blah

[00:45:02] And so I love that part of her

[00:45:04] Where you know she's loving enough

[00:45:06] To roll with you but she also gonna let you know

[00:45:08] This is where we could be better

[00:45:10] So yeah

[00:45:12] It's a new year, new year

[00:45:14] Let's get better, let's keep getting better

[00:45:16] It's time for our real talk

[00:45:18] Conversation

[00:45:20] And guys we couldn't let this month go by without

[00:45:22] Highlighting some movers and shakers

[00:45:24] Some important people who have been doing

[00:45:26] Some things for our culture

[00:45:28] For our community

[00:45:30] Absolutely

[00:45:32] I feel a certain way I told you that

[00:45:34] That we only get to celebrate Black History Month

[00:45:36] In February

[00:45:38] But I feel like

[00:45:40] Needless to say

[00:45:42] We definitely want to talk about some movers and shakers

[00:45:44] And this young lady came to my mind

[00:45:46] Samara Joy

[00:45:48] She is a professional

[00:45:50] Jazz musician

[00:45:52] Grammy award-winning jazz musician

[00:45:54] And I just think she's done

[00:45:56] A lot and she's had to overcome a lot

[00:45:58] At an early, early age

[00:46:00] And it just shows

[00:46:02] We talk about it all the time, Dice

[00:46:04] On listen just staying the course

[00:46:06] And just trusting in God

[00:46:08] She is a believer too as well

[00:46:10] So Sassata anytime we can

[00:46:12] Highlight somebody who does believe in the same faith

[00:46:14] We believe in

[00:46:16] I think it's amazing so

[00:46:18] Yeah we know again she just won the Grammy award

[00:46:20] For best

[00:46:22] Jazz vocal

[00:46:24] From the year

[00:46:26] Literally a couple weeks ago

[00:46:28] We had the

[00:46:30] Grammys a couple weeks ago

[00:46:32] So that's fresh

[00:46:34] And she actually won it from her second album

[00:46:36] Linger Away

[00:46:38] Just at 23 years old

[00:46:40] Winning the Grammy Dice

[00:46:42] What's your thoughts on that

[00:46:44] As a musician you do music

[00:46:46] You do a lot of things

[00:46:48] Where would your headspace be at

[00:46:50] 23 years old

[00:46:52] Winning the Grammy being up there on that stage

[00:46:54] Accepting that Grammy

[00:46:56] She did just turn

[00:46:58] 24 November too by the way

[00:47:00] Oh okay this is her 24 sorry

[00:47:02] But even so

[00:47:04] If I win a Grammy at 23

[00:47:06] Then I want like 6 more

[00:47:08] When I'm 24 you know this is going to be

[00:47:10] The problem for the world

[00:47:12] Because my bar is set high

[00:47:14] If I'm young 20 and I can win one

[00:47:16] Can you

[00:47:18] Now I'm on a whole other level

[00:47:20] Bronx, New York, born, jazz, soul, R.A.B.

[00:47:22] And gospel artist by the way

[00:47:24] So

[00:47:26] She's just dope

[00:47:28] I don't even know

[00:47:30] I think her grandfather was into music

[00:47:32] I know he was on

[00:47:34] BET Sunday's Best

[00:47:36] And things like that

[00:47:38] As a vocalist and a bass player

[00:47:40] So music just runs in her family

[00:47:42] And she went to

[00:47:44] Fordham High School

[00:47:46] For the Arts

[00:47:48] Jazz definitely since those last

[00:47:50] 4 years of high school

[00:47:52] And then she went to school

[00:47:54] For jazz at Sunny's Purchase College

[00:47:56] As a voice major

[00:47:58] So

[00:48:00] You wonder why she was named

[00:48:02] Ella Fitzgerald Scholar of the Year

[00:48:04] I mean this is what she's been putting in that work

[00:48:06] So I love women

[00:48:08] Who are doing things

[00:48:10] At a high level

[00:48:12] And not making excuses

[00:48:14] And carving out space and time

[00:48:16] To make their mark

[00:48:18] So she has millions of followers

[00:48:20] Everywhere, Instagram

[00:48:22] TikTok, you name it

[00:48:24] She tours in Europe, Italy, Austria

[00:48:26] I mean

[00:48:28] Just, she's not playing with her life

[00:48:30] And this lady is a great example

[00:48:32] Of what it means to take what God

[00:48:34] Has given you and run

[00:48:36] And just run

[00:48:38] So God only knows what she'll do this year

[00:48:40] Like I said

[00:48:42] Winning a Grammy at 23

[00:48:44] I ain't no telling where she's about to do it

[00:48:46] 24

[00:48:48] No telling

[00:48:50] Yeah

[00:48:52] Forgive me, she has two

[00:48:54] She has two Grammys

[00:48:56] At 24 years old

[00:48:58] Like let's be very clear

[00:49:00] That's huge

[00:49:02] That's what I said, yeah

[00:49:04] I'm about to shut this down

[00:49:06] I mean, good grief

[00:49:08] Honestly if I would have known who I was at 22

[00:49:10] Oh boy

[00:49:13] Yeah

[00:49:15] The world would be very different right now

[00:49:17] But I'm just happy for her honestly

[00:49:19] I'm happy that it worked out for her

[00:49:21] Some people actually take this path and it doesn't really work

[00:49:23] For some reason, but I mean like

[00:49:25] Taking a musical path

[00:49:27] I think sometimes it's looked at as

[00:49:29] How you gonna pay your bills

[00:49:31] Now it's like she will forever pay her bills

[00:49:35] Those bills would be paid

[00:49:37] From residual albums that she's put out

[00:49:39] You know, so I mean

[00:49:41] She has four projects released

[00:49:43] So

[00:49:45] Yeah, and many many other features

[00:49:47] And like I said she's touring

[00:49:49] All by herself

[00:49:51] She don't need nobody, I'm gonna sit up here

[00:49:53] I'm gonna sing and play

[00:49:55] Yeah, it's nothing wrong with that

[00:49:57] And let's be very clear

[00:49:59] Being as young as she is

[00:50:01] Especially in the jazz genre

[00:50:03] I think that's like

[00:50:05] This is a success story

[00:50:07] For a jazz musician being this young

[00:50:09] And a lady, let's be very clear

[00:50:11] You know we're not gonna downplay that

[00:50:13] I'm excited

[00:50:15] Like you said to see where she's going to go

[00:50:17] And I'm hoping she does

[00:50:19] Some more faith based

[00:50:21] Whether it be jazz or singing

[00:50:25] I would definitely love to hear

[00:50:27] A full project

[00:50:29] I have not heard a full project

[00:50:31] Everything I've listened to her currently has been

[00:50:33] On the jazz side

[00:50:35] But if she does like a gospel project

[00:50:37] I'm with

[00:50:39] Shout out to our sister

[00:50:41] Mahogany

[00:50:43] Mahogany too

[00:50:45] Victory Boy though too

[00:50:47] Victory Boy

[00:50:49] Yeah that'd be crazy

[00:50:51] You don't have a lot of

[00:50:53] Black

[00:50:55] Jazz artists

[00:50:57] I don't know

[00:50:59] You may have them

[00:51:01] Where okay yeah I'm in your city

[00:51:03] And you know I'm gonna be at the local

[00:51:05] You know whatever the bar is or the club

[00:51:07] But I mean winning Grammys

[00:51:09] In their 20s no

[00:51:11] I mean we have

[00:51:13] Our classics and honestly we probably only

[00:51:15] Have a hundred black

[00:51:17] Popular jazz musicians

[00:51:19] Obviously Louis Armstrong

[00:51:21] Ella Fitzgerald John Coltrane

[00:51:23] Billie Holiday Miles Davis

[00:51:25] The names you know Sarah Vaughan

[00:51:27] You know like it just

[00:51:29] You have your classics

[00:51:31] That just are gonna be there

[00:51:33] You know like but it's rare that you just

[00:51:35] Are gonna get you

[00:51:37] Just somebody that's got that heat

[00:51:39] And the name just sticks and everybody knows

[00:51:41] Like maybe a Georgia Benson or a Herbie Hancock

[00:51:43] Maybe it would be an earlier name

[00:51:45] Definitely Ray Charles

[00:51:47] But yeah so

[00:51:49] I think she's going down in history

[00:51:51] Listen all them greats

[00:51:53] I remember them Coltrane albums

[00:51:55] My grandmama used to have

[00:51:57] My grandmama used to have Coltrane

[00:51:59] Listen my grandmama used to be real particular too

[00:52:01] When Sean saw to you now

[00:52:03] I know you look at the album

[00:52:05] Listen me and my cousins could not touch her album collection

[00:52:07] It was

[00:52:09] Don't touch mine

[00:52:11] I got records upstairs

[00:52:13] Don't touch mine if y'all come to my house

[00:52:15] Please don't and I have them all

[00:52:17] They're all scanned in I have an app

[00:52:19] And it tells you exactly what that record is worth

[00:52:21] I lost

[00:52:23] Probably about 50 crates of records

[00:52:25] When I moved from Georgia

[00:52:27] To Seattle

[00:52:29] And I have been collecting

[00:52:31] My whole life

[00:52:33] So now we got the little

[00:52:35] Cubbies upstairs with the record player

[00:52:37] And I'm like

[00:52:39] You want your hand

[00:52:41] I cashed mine in

[00:52:43] I didn't think they would ever be worth any money

[00:52:45] I cashed all mine in

[00:52:47] Back in the late 90s

[00:52:49] Maybe 98, 99

[00:52:51] I was like yeah let me just don't get rid of these

[00:52:53] Took it to the record then and cashed them in

[00:52:55] I know they work for a lot of money

[00:52:57] I got some records up there

[00:52:59] They're like $150 for one

[00:53:01] Tomorrow your uncle or granddad

[00:53:03] Somebody got records in the basement

[00:53:05] Hold on to your records

[00:53:07] Period

[00:53:09] They are worth money and they're going to increase in value

[00:53:11] Because people aren't making them anymore

[00:53:13] Yeah

[00:53:17] Shout out to what's-a-m'called-a-wom

[00:53:19] Reach records actually just released

[00:53:21] A collection of

[00:53:23] Yeah, yeah

[00:53:25] Exclusives I know Lecrae, Hovie

[00:53:27] I think 1K few, yep

[00:53:29] Get to the vinyl

[00:53:31] Get to the vinyl

[00:53:33] It's not far fetched that we'll have an interruption

[00:53:35] In our

[00:53:37] On the satellite, you know how your phone will go down

[00:53:39] Or your internet won't start

[00:53:41] And what people aren't thinking

[00:53:43] Is like it won't always be

[00:53:45] You won't always be in an area

[00:53:47] Where you have access to wifi

[00:53:49] That's just even on a regular day

[00:53:51] When you're in the city you already see how that is

[00:53:53] So it's like yeah

[00:53:55] If you know God forbid but one day

[00:53:57] If we don't have access to wifi

[00:53:59] The people that had the records in the books

[00:54:01] Are going to be the ones with the money

[00:54:03] They're going to be the ones that can make the deals

[00:54:05] Because they have the hard copies of

[00:54:07] Of life, you know in history

[00:54:09] So if you got a record

[00:54:11] That's fire hold on to that thing

[00:54:13] Yeah please hold on to that thing

[00:54:15] Listen DJ Focus, Dice Gamble

[00:54:21] We just highlighting some black figures

[00:54:23] We're talking about Samara Joy today

[00:54:25] Keep it locked, you tune into the fix

[00:54:27] And the fix is in

[00:54:29] And we back DJ Focus, Dice Gamble

[00:54:31] Thank you all for tapping back in on this real talk conversation

[00:54:33] We just highlighting some black leaders today

[00:54:35] We know it's still Black History Month

[00:54:37] So we just want to talk about some

[00:54:39] Pioneers and trailblazers in our

[00:54:41] Space

[00:54:43] And we're talking about

[00:54:45] The life of Samara Joy

[00:54:47] And everything she's doing at a real early age

[00:54:49] I know something else we want

[00:54:51] I know I want to highlight Dice

[00:54:53] She has been very vocal

[00:54:55] Going around to different universities

[00:54:57] And advocating for

[00:54:59] Music education

[00:55:01] To be a priority in a lot of universities

[00:55:03] And um

[00:55:05] Yeah I don't, I can't remember the last musician

[00:55:07] I know they did it, I mean I'm not saying she's the only one

[00:55:09] To do it but just again

[00:55:11] Her being so young saying you know what

[00:55:13] This is what helped me

[00:55:15] This is not only a career for me

[00:55:17] But she speaks to it as its therapy

[00:55:19] As how it helps

[00:55:21] Really like creatives do something creative

[00:55:23] So yeah her just going around

[00:55:25] And saying you know what, listen

[00:55:27] Let's take music education

[00:55:29] Seriously for the universities that offer

[00:55:31] These programs

[00:55:33] And let's make sure we upgrade them

[00:55:35] That was the other thing she said to as well

[00:55:37] You know what and I gotta be real with you

[00:55:39] I know this was something that wasn't invested that much

[00:55:41] In my high school

[00:55:43] I mean we had a band

[00:55:45] But yeah we always saw

[00:55:47] Playing the playoffs

[00:55:49] And we saw other schools

[00:55:51] How kind of some of the equipment

[00:55:53] And some of the instruments that

[00:55:55] Our band had compared to other schools

[00:55:57] It was kind of like

[00:55:59] You know or outdated so

[00:56:01] I do agree with her was saying you know

[00:56:03] You absolutely take it seriously

[00:56:05] Make sure you're not just investing

[00:56:07] Into the sports programs

[00:56:09] But also invest into something like this

[00:56:11] For the musicians that you know start off in

[00:56:13] High school and even in

[00:56:15] The things that you know

[00:56:17] You know that everyone in the community

[00:56:19] Was well cause yes

[00:56:21] Listen everybody doesn't have

[00:56:23] Shout out to Ohio State

[00:56:25] I know we have a great marching band

[00:56:27] At Ohio State

[00:56:29] And they have over 200 people

[00:56:31] In that band literally

[00:56:33] Well over 200 people

[00:56:35] But I know that's not everybody's

[00:56:37] You know what I'm saying

[00:56:39] Situation you know so

[00:56:41] I can just imagine absolutely

[00:56:43] Did you grow up? Did you did you play any instruments like I know you play the guitar and what what instruments do you play?

[00:56:50] Piano I played a third bass in the band played all percussion instruments everything from the chimes to the bells

[00:56:57] I mean I grew up in a musical household though, so you know trying to lean into a guitar or whatever

[00:57:04] It was nothing to me, but to your point everybody doesn't grow up that way so

[00:57:09] But as far as expression and inclusivity

[00:57:15] I believe that's how you say that

[00:57:17] Like having a good music program is super important. I've always took music

[00:57:23] It didn't matter where I went. I was like, I need to be in music class, you know and

[00:57:27] Yeah that in sports, but I mean

[00:57:31] Instruments can kind of save people's lives man get them off the streets

[00:57:34] Especially when you have a school that's heavily involved in being a part of the community

[00:57:39] You know and of course when you got track football, you know, it keeps you there

[00:57:44] Even if you ain't running, you know, you got to play so

[00:57:48] It's important for kids to have community and have a sense of I belong here

[00:57:53] Like even if they're just playing that little triangle thing, you know saying like hey

[00:57:58] You know you were part of this so

[00:58:00] But I definitely agree with her like and music is I

[00:58:06] Shout out to the melanated y'all just I mean, it's a lot of people good at it

[00:58:10] but y'all real real good at it and a lot of times we don't get the recognition because I think it's

[00:58:17] It's considered like a poor man sport, you know

[00:58:21] So wow

[00:58:23] Yeah, I mean where everybody knows it is it's hard. It's hard to make money being a musician even now

[00:58:29] Even now like it just hasn't changed. I think because we're I

[00:58:35] Don't want to be negative, but I just think a lot of times because here's okay. Let me liken it to this

[00:58:40] For some reason in America every time somebody who was not black needs a black person. They think they can sing

[00:58:47] You know I'm saying like it's just this idea like that's just what y'all do

[00:58:51] You know, I mean so it's not necessarily appreciated as much, you know and

[00:58:56] If you black black, you know what I'm talking about somebody always think you got a musical talent

[00:58:59] All black people can dance like I know all black people don't have rhythm. So I'm just

[00:59:04] Won't just stop thinking this like we we got what we got soul

[00:59:08] You know I'm saying but they don't mean everybody is like musically inclined

[00:59:11] But I think because we've always had to be on the stage entertaining the masses

[00:59:15] Everybody just thinks we're all really good at it and that's just you know

[00:59:20] It's just a part of who we are, but I'm like it ain't just a part of who we are

[00:59:24] So I just I just don't think it's appreciated enough, you know

[00:59:26] And definitely we don't get paid enough or we don't get paid as much as the other people who do things like that's a fact

[00:59:33] I mean we got to put no race on that awesome fact

[00:59:36] We just don't so that's what I'm saying. So for somebody who's great in doing great things

[00:59:41] Especially a female who's black in her 20s

[00:59:45] She's an anomaly

[00:59:47] She's an anomaly

[00:59:50] She's having a huge influence to as well

[00:59:53] I'm glad you brought up the global impact that she's she she's not just here. She's everywhere

[00:59:59] Overseas everywhere so again

[01:00:02] Just being able to have the impact globally and doing it in this genre of jazz

[01:00:08] Listen shout out to her and I love her community engagement. I was on our social media page

[01:00:14] She is very much involved in a lot of community events

[01:00:18] She's not one of those ones who you know, I'm just me now sometimes, you know

[01:00:21] You have the famous, you know musicians and you can only see them at the concerts or something

[01:00:26] Oh no, she pulls up to different events in the community. She still goes back to her local high school

[01:00:33] What she graduated from it goes to like regular sports events and everything dice

[01:00:38] So she's like no, no, I still want to pay homage to my roots and where I came up at from so that shows humility

[01:00:45] There's a lot of a lot of artists are not doing that that shows humility

[01:00:49] Especially in that space. So that just shows that you know, she is trying to represent God to the best of her ability

[01:00:55] So that that is impactful to as well

[01:00:59] I

[01:01:00] Think the last tip I mean a thing I had written down on her was just

[01:01:05] When you talk about legacy building when you talk about the influence she's had with again one of these two Grammys and being a

[01:01:12] trailblazer

[01:01:15] Always think of you know, that's a that's a yes

[01:01:18] And I'm pretty sure everybody does especially if you understand legacy and you understand

[01:01:22] You want to leave some type of stamp or not only family but just everybody, you know, you've been

[01:01:30] Working with you know doing things with

[01:01:33] Community involvement you want to leave some type of legacy before you go to have it and that's something that she's been vocal about

[01:01:40] Shout out to her parents who as well. I don't know if you saw that but her parents are very much a cornerstone

[01:01:46] Shout out to everybody who still believes that yes, it is important to have two parents in the household

[01:01:51] I think it just this shows it too as well because they have been very vocal and very

[01:01:56] Um

[01:01:57] Acknowledging all the everything she's done and proud of everything she's done and not try to at least

[01:02:03] From what I saw you have a lot of parents that try to make the decisions for the young adult instead of letting the young adult

[01:02:10] Make the decisions for themselves and just kind of be there to give the wisdom

[01:02:14] That just speaks to a lot to the legacy too as well. So yeah, just wanted to shout out this young lady today

[01:02:21] and her impact on the culture and

[01:02:24] Shouts out to everybody who maybe does not listen to jazz. I know we come on we hip hop over here

[01:02:29] But it's okay to get some other music in your palate jazz is really

[01:02:35] Meditation music to me. I look out when I listen to jazz

[01:02:38] I really getting another space of just reflecting of just being grateful

[01:02:43] You know a lot of those instruments they especially that the guitar and the saxophone

[01:02:50] Those are two that kind of do it for me like yeah, you're gonna saxophone player

[01:02:55] I just be sitting there just blown away sometimes. So uh, yeah, yeah, so make me want to go play one the dice

[01:03:01] I can't play a lick but

[01:03:07] Jump into it jump on don't miss your don't miss your opportunity focus

[01:03:11] You can put your album out next week and we'll be playing yeah, we'll be playing it

[01:03:16] Might it might not be the best album, but at least you

[01:03:24] That ain't my gift I'm gonna get on these turntables though, let's be very clear y'all about to see a DJ focus back in

[01:03:30] Mixes so yeah, yeah, we don't get back to what we know we can get back in rhythm on

[01:03:36] Yeah

[01:03:39] All right, that's it for our real real listen. We got to go to a break. We coming back

[01:03:42] Don't touch that dial you tune into the fix

[01:03:45] Shout-out to a god over money

[01:03:48] That's the team right there. That was a throwback

[01:03:50] Hadn't played that one in a while. So I just wanted to dig in the crates

[01:03:54] They listen listen, I know, uh, you know

[01:03:57] a Audi anomaly is no longer with God over money and say lie

[01:04:21] You know so shout out to a busy for listen putting together that team

[01:04:26] And we know everybody is doing some some different things in different spaces from what I understand

[01:04:32] There's no, you know hard feelings or no type of hard malice is just you know

[01:04:35] Absolutely people are just doing some different things

[01:04:37] But I'd never forget that god of a money mixtape man with all in a moment
