I got an album coming with LaRussell.
Speaker B:Oh, okay.
Speaker A:Some blast, too. I executive produced, so I picked all the beats.
Speaker C:Okay.
Speaker A:I booked a session at the Grill and we went and made some shit. Like, I'm very proud of that. Like, I know it's gonna do damage some features or if Cony could send his verse back in. Cony, Coney, send me a verse in.
Speaker D:Send the verse, y'all.
Speaker B:Today we got a special one, guys. Live straight from Vallejo.
Speaker A:Come on.
Speaker B:We got the one, the only director, artist, multi talented, Splash the Kid. How you doing, Splash?
Speaker C:Yes, sir.
Speaker A:Good to see y'all, man. Thank you. I appreciate y'all having me.
Speaker B:No, thank you for coming.
Speaker C:Thanks for coming, man.
Speaker B:Love seeing everything you're doing. The waves you're making love. Seeing Splash Bakery, the live sessions. You and the E section. Got it. Got it going up right here.
Speaker A:What? Come on.
Speaker B:You said the hyphy desk A copyright that right there. Trademark.
Speaker A:That shout out to the E section. For sure.
Speaker B:Yeah.
Speaker C:That was super cool to see that live, man. That was super cool.
Speaker A:Thank you.
Speaker B:We were able to, you know, witness some. Some greatness with. With that, so. That was awesome, bro. That was awesome. No, but how you doing, bro? How. How's everything going?
Speaker A:Everything's pretty cool, bro. Life is like, you know, it's life and. But it's hella fast. But other than. Besides that, bro, like, life is pretty good. I cannot complain.
Speaker C:Yeah.
Speaker A:How about y'all? How's life for y'all, Nick?
Speaker C:I mean, it's good. I mean, we're working. We're trying to work for a goal we're all trying to achieve, but. And for the. For the most part, we're all.
Day by day, we're taking it.
Speaker A:Yeah.
Speaker C:We're noticing the hard work being paid off. You know, it's not all the way paid off, but it's, you know, some sense are being put in, you know.
Speaker A:Come on. Yeah, we're seeing that matter.
Speaker B:Yeah. Brick by brick. That sweat equity will get you somewhere, right?
Speaker D:Can't complain. Can't complain.
Speaker B:Definitely, bro. But, you know, getting into that, you know, we just got to witness a live session.
We got to witness something that you, you know, have coined as Splash Bakery is something that's kind of new for not only Northern California, but you're seeing a lot of, you know, music platforms have different performance platforms, and this is something like not often has been seen. What.
What kind of inspired you to, you know, take that route to go with the live sessions, you know, and with the full band and, you know, What I'm saying go that route.
Speaker A:Kind of just being here at Good Company, you know, Russ did the live session.
He was like, one of the first to start a platform out here in the bay and have a live performance platform, like, you know, showcasing that and kind of just being here and hearing his stories about it. But I just kind of wanted to, like, start something that I could continuously do and push out, like, fast.
That was great because music videos are great. I love music videos still. I want to get back to doing them so bad it's not even funny.
But I couldn't produce them at the rate that I would like to and stay consistent and build a platform with, you know, following the. Russell, I'm documenting his day to day life. I don't got time to just go shoot a bunch of music videos. Those take time, bro.
You know, and it's like, I just didn't have the bandwidth to take it on. So I was like, what can I do? That's like quick fire and impactful. You feel me? And so I wanted to do, like, my first, like, iteration of.
It was gonna be like, I was gonna link with producers and have the beat play and just put a mic on an artist and have them rap to the beat. But then it just didn't fall through. Like, the artists and producers I wanted to do it with, we never could get, like a day lined up.
Speaker C:Yeah, that's always something, you know?
Speaker A:It was always something. So then I ended up linking with Michael Prince, the violinist.
Speaker C:Okay.
Speaker A:And at this time, he was already pretty viral and pretty on, but we just started doing them. Just him and an artist. It was just. Literally just them two.
Speaker C:Okay. Just the violin. Okay. Yeah.
Speaker A:I would link with an artist. Like, I did Shoot again, Coney. Early on, I did Problem. Early. I actually did Problem with a saxophone. Just him and a saxophone.
Speaker C:Right on.
Speaker A:Right? And then blast. Mali. I did a lot of artists with Michael Prince before finally getting a chance to do anti with Slimy B.
Speaker B:Okay.
Speaker C:Yeah, yeah.
Speaker A:And I did the anti joint because Russ was holding a rehearsal in that same room we were just in. And Slimmy just showed up. Like, literally. It was crazy. I was like, what?
Speaker C:What?
Speaker A:So he showed up, and during rehearsal, Russell did the MCM backpack and brought him up. And he did it during our rehearsal.
But afterwards I was like, well, I'm already doing live sessions anyway with just the violin or sometimes saxophone with kms. Well, tion. Now he's not KMS anymore. But I was just doing with them too. So I was like, why not just Run one right quick with the piano.
Speaker C:Yeah, yeah.
Speaker B:And then created a monster.
Speaker A:Right.
Speaker C:Let's do it real quick.
Speaker A:Why not? If we here. So let's just set it up. That was our first time setting up. It was Claydo and Brian. They played keys.
Everybody else kind of had packed down already and was about to leave, so they just stayed behind. They played keys. It was slimmy. Them two, me and I think Jacob was there running our boards for that day.
And yeah, I didn't know how to run boards yet. Like what I was doing. I was. I ran audio today. I didn't know how to do that back then like at all. Like couldn't even.
I was looking at that board cross eyed. Like I couldn't tell you what anything did. Yeah. To now, like I'm able to run, you know, my own session and. And it was.
It was crazy because I did not see that coming in from just the live sessions with. I used to use the DJI mics. Yeah. I didn't have a real. My. I didn't have nothing. I started from that and worked to now what you see. And it just.
I just kept going. Yeah, it worked out exactly. It's unique. So I'ma just keep it going.
Speaker B:That's inspiring. And what. I mean, what, 100, 100 million views or something later.
Speaker A:Oh yeah.
Speaker B:You know what I'm saying? You can't think anything else. You have to expand on that and keep going. You know what I'm saying?
Speaker A:I'm trying to break that. And that sounds crazy, but I'm trying to break that.
Speaker B:And you will not. You don't need to try to. You will, bro. It's just. It's about the opportunity. You're gonna get that.
Speaker A:Yes, sir.
Speaker B:Coming soon. I'm telling you. And with that, with that being said. Come on. We. We've seen the interview. You had Sizzle. Like a couple posts.
Name some of the artists you want to see. Who do we want to see on Splash? Sizzle. We gotta see you there.

Speaker B:Yeah.
Speaker C:Okay.
Speaker A:On the part of Richmond I'm from, we don't even have a gas station technically in that area. Like you have to leave out train tracks and go to the gas station. Like you're technically out of the park that I'm from. You feel me?
And it's like we're. It's so small and connected to everybody.
Like I couldn't imagine as a kid being like, yeah, I'm going to be around some of the most biggest famous people ever. Like, we bumped into some crazy people that weekend. It was great.
Speaker D:It was out all star. Everybody was.
Speaker A:Everybody. It was amazing.
Speaker D:Wild weekend.
Speaker A:And so it was just like I couldn't imagine it. And then just seeing like my homie perform on national television.
Speaker C:Yeah, that was.
Speaker A:That's like he's before anything. That's really my homie. Like I really with bro. Like, I could leave, he could let me go. And I'm still going to wish and hope for the best for bro.
Speaker C:Yeah, that's what's up.
Speaker A:You feel me? So it's like just watching him do the most incredible things and then being like, man, we going back home to the beat. You feel me? It's like.
It's crazy, bro. It's crazy. It was. It was insane.
Speaker B:No. Yeah. We went to rising stars, bro. And just to experience just the, you know, environment around it, bro, it was different. For real different.
But you know, you guys go through NBA All Star.
And now just to follow it up with the Giants anthem and to have those coming out, you know, Visualizes at Oracle Field, you know, how is that, you know, you as a sports fan, for me, that has to be dope, you know, being a part of some crazy sports shit just here locally, like, from the Bay, too, you know, that's from the soil. You know what I'm saying? How does that feel?
Speaker A:Honestly, I haven't even really sat and thought about it, man, because, yeah, everything.
Speaker D:Has been going, too for you. Everything's been going too far.
Speaker A:I haven't even sat and dwelled on it. Like, I just made the post and was like, all right, what's next?
Speaker C:Yeah, that's crazy.
Speaker A:And it's crazy y'all say that because, like, everybody else been calling me, like, bro. Do you not congrats, like, yeah, and congrats. Like, congrats. And do you not realize how big that is?
Like, oh, yeah, y'all have the anthem, the official anthem. And I was like, from where y'all.
Speaker C:From, too, you know? So it's like, that's.
Speaker B:That's.
Speaker A:That's.
Speaker C:That's home hitting right there.
Speaker A:I'm. I'm very thankful. Like, I'm overly thankful, bro.
I cannot thank God enough for what he's been able to do for my life and, like, the doors that I've been able to walk through, but I just can't slow down. So it don't be hitting me, like, the same way it hits, like, the world or like, my family, because I'm trying to do more.
I'm trying to really get in there. Like, really, by the time my son is 3, I want to be, like, cool.
Speaker C:Yeah.
Speaker A:I just wanna. You know, now that I got a son, I just kind of want to watch him grow up.
Speaker C:Yeah. Yeah.
Speaker A:I'm just trying to run it down as fast as I can while I'm young. So, you know, by the time I'm 30, I'm like, all right, yeah, who's next?
Speaker C:Go ahead.
Speaker A:Trying to watch my little boy, you know?
Speaker B:No, that's dope, bro, because you're becoming desensitized to something that, you know, is something you probably look forward to doing your whole life, you know what I'm saying? And for that to be a regular day really means, like, you know, you're making your dreams come true, bro.
And that's something that's praying for times.
Speaker C:Like this, you know?
Speaker A:And that's why I'm so thankful and appreciative. Like, I'd be present like, oh yeah.
Speaker C:Yeah, here we are.
Speaker A:I'm present in the moment. But it be after that I never really sit back and be like, man, we were just with Snoop Dogg, cuz.
Speaker B:There'S more work to do, right? Yeah.
Speaker A:I'm editing the video, not even thinking like, man, this is Snoop Dogg.
Speaker C:Yeah.
Speaker A:But in the moment I'm looking at that like, this is Snoop Dogg. Like this is the biggest in the world. Like period artists, all that in the world.
Speaker B:Yeah. Like bro, especially after, after that Olympic run.
Speaker C:Yeah, Literally.
Speaker D:Value, bro. It's just crazy.
Speaker C:So you seem so humble. Like what do you, what do you do to just really maintain everything that you got going on?
Like how do you just, you know, you say you don't sit back and really dwell on anything, but how do you just maintain the idea and the fact that you got more to come and you gotta just stay grounded to who you are and all that? You know what I mean? Like, how do you just stay focused in that way?
Speaker A:I think my grandpa instilled that in me.
Well, because when I was a kid growing up, I didn't really have like too many men in my life that like taught me to take a deep breath, go on walks, think outside of the box of what the hood mentality is. You know, I didn't have too many like in my corner that taught me that. And because of that, it made me like really like not sheltered but like rigid.
I didn't really like, you know, embrace a lot of things growing up. So I never been like this over the top excited kid. Cause like I always been like rigid and like, you know, I've always been me, like.
But I never embrace things because I'm got the hood mentality. Like it's gonna get taken away eventually. Like it's not gonna be my reality for too much longer, which. Cause everything else did you feel me?
So I've always had this like humble of like it's not gonna last long. But now I realize I can't live like that. I can't be like, it's not gonna last long because I want it to last long.
I want this life that I'm living currently. I want it to last long, I want it to go somewhere. You feel me? So.
Speaker C:And that's where that pride that you were talking about that you have with all the work that you do. Cuz like I said to that prior, the confidence, the, the drive is just, it keeps. You have so much of it, it's pouring out of you right now, dude.
Like I feel it, I feel it off of you.
Speaker A:Thank you.
Speaker C:Like, for sure. Like, you talking. I'm just like, dude, we got to end this, cuz I got work to do right now. I'm motivated right now. But that's what I'm saying.
Like, I feel it off of you, and I feel like the people around you, too. They feel it off you, too. And that.
That's why everyone, like, just right now in that room, everyone was just in units to get up and get active with it, you know? I was like, man, this is. This is tight right here.
Speaker A:Yeah.
Speaker C:I saw no hate, no judgment, no nothing. It was just love, you know? And it was beautiful. Not gonna lie.
Speaker A:Thank you.
Speaker C:It was crazy.
Speaker A:I'm glad you were able to witness that for real. That makes me happy that y'all were even able to catch that today.
Speaker B:You referenced earlier that you just had a son. Congratulations, bro.
Speaker A:Thank you.
Speaker B:Congratulations. What is that? Like, what's the new. New, you know, chapter in your life? Fatherhood like, for you?
Speaker A:It's dope, bro. I was hella scared at first. I ain't gonna lie.
Speaker C:Yeah.
Speaker A:Like, I used to really, like, normal. When I first found out, I was like, man, what a baby. Yeah, I'm a baby.
Speaker C:Yeah.
Speaker A:Yeah. Like, I'm gonna have a baby. But it's been one of the, like, biggest blessings in my life, bro. Like, I love that little.
Speaker C:And son, too, right?
Speaker A:And, like, I'm thankful. Like, I got a little boy as my first. Like, I really love him, bro. He. He makes me not do certain stuff. I genuinely move different.
Like, I'm just not certain. I'm just not doing no more, bro, because I just. I don't want to lose my family. I don't want to not be the proper role model for him.
I have, like, really no guidance. Like, I didn't have my pops for real. Like, we just, you know, for years, I didn't talk to him. All the years where you really need your dad.
My past wasn't there, so it's like I'm trying to be that for my.
Speaker C:Yeah, and that's what's gonna make you a good dad, too, you know, is knowing that, you know, what you went through. You don't want that for a little homie.
Speaker A:Yeah. I refuse, bro. I can't have it. Yeah. You feel me?
Speaker B:But, yeah, with you saying you're, you know, you've had to make changes in life, how's life different?
You know, obviously, other than, you know, it gives you a reason that maybe, you know what I'm saying, you previously might have been looking for, in a sense or something like that. But, like, how has that change either ignited something different in you or maybe even, like, softened you up or just changed you as a person?
You know what I'm saying?
Speaker A:Because I'm gonna just be transparent and real. I'm a young 23 right now.
I'm around, if not the biggest independent artist, one of the biggest independent artists in the game, and everything is ample. The women people want to pay me to do just about anything. Like, I could just.
If I didn't care about, like, cultural equity, I would be shooting every day, making at least 3, 4, $500 a day. I'd be up. But because I care, I don't accept just anything. So not just. Do you feel me doing anything. But everything is ample right now.
That's what I'm trying to get through is, like, everything is open. I could just crash out. I could have a bunch of babies, go have sex with disabilities, been like a rock star. It's crazy.
Like, because we got the opportunity to. For real women are. You know, that's just what it is. What are you gonna do exactly?
And it's like having a son not only ignited a flame in me, because now I got a new just being real bill and responsibility that I didn't have prior. Like, a real bill. Like, I paid real rent, real bills. You feel me?
So not only just that, having to ignite a fire under me to go make the money and figure it out for my family, but now knowing, like, I'm at jeopardy, going and laying up a female that's not doing no benefit to my life. And. Yeah, and just having sex with any woman because I could have another child or I could get into a situation that's just.
I didn't even need to be in. You feel me? I'm happy with the family I got back at the crib. You feel me? I'm cool.
I was just telling my baby mama the other day, I'm cool with just them. I don't even need another baby. I'm like, I'm cool if I have other kids, though, because I don't know. You don't know. I love y'all.
I don't mean I don't want y'all. I love y'all. But. Yo, yo, y'all. Y'all brother cool as hell. He cool as hell right now. Like, life cool.
Speaker C:He the one I met first.
Speaker A:I'm 23. I ain't 30, 40 yet. Y'all don't know what. How you feel me? I Might get there and be like, man, got about 20, 25 mil in the bank. Come on.
Speaker B:Yeah.
Speaker A:Let me have a little fun today, you know? But right now, I'm cool, bro. I don't. I don't want to risk my. My life, my freedom, none of that. And he. He keeps me level headed when I.
When I'm going too far. Right. I just think, like, you got a little boy at home. That's.
Speaker C:Yeah. Yeah.
Speaker A:Planning. You make it back home. Not not only just make it home, but make it home sane. I'm no good to him if I'm not saying so.
Speaker B:Yeah, yeah.
Speaker C:And that always keep you straight. Knowing, like, what you got back at home, you know, that's important.
Speaker A:And what you could lose.
Speaker C:Yeah, exactly, too.
Speaker A:I know I'm. I'm. I'm in jeopardy. I'm jeopardizing, like, seeing my son or, you know, seeing my family and being with my family, then I'm. I'm cool.
I'm gonna just stay home. It's nothing worse than having to, you know, come home and you. It ain't your home no more.
Speaker C:Yeah.
Speaker D:Yeah. Someone looking the outside, looking in. You definitely. Definitely doing it right, bro. You're on the right track.
Speaker C:Yeah, for sure.
Speaker A:Thank you.
Speaker B:No, definitely. And speaking more about your future, what. What is to come? What are. What are some goals you have on. On that bucket list you want to check. Check off?
What is a passion project you want to work towards? What is something we could, as fans, as supporters, look forward to from Splash?
Speaker A:I got an album coming with Russell.
Speaker B:Oh, okay.
Speaker A:Some blast, too. I'm not rapping on it. I'm not rapping on it. I executive produce, so I picked all the beats.
Speaker C:Okay.
Speaker A:I booked a session at the Grill, and we went and made some like, Nick. I'm very proud of that. Like, I know it's gonna do damage. I know. I'm excited, but I can't wait to shoot the visuals.
Speaker C:Some features or. It's all him.
Speaker A:If Coney could send his verse back in. Coney. Coney, send the verse, y'all. If he. If y'all don't see Coney on it, it's because I never got a verse back. Send me the bird, Cody.
Speaker B:We need that. We need to hear that.
Speaker A:And the beat he would go crazy on. Like, when y'all hear it, I know Tony gonna go.
Speaker C:It's gonna make sense.
Speaker A:Oh, God. Like, bro. Yeah, bro.
Speaker B:I'm excited.
Speaker C:Yes, sir.
Speaker A:Besides the album, really just a bunch of live sessions I planned, so I put out last year I don't even know how many I put out, but I ended the year with like 97 songs. And I know I ended the year prior to that with like 21 songs. I don't know the exact math in between. I'm not too good with that.
But yeah, yeah, y'all get it. So I'm trying to. I'm trying to double that. I'm trying to put out whatever that was. Double.
I'll go back and look sometime soon and see what that real number is. But for now, just putting out as much as I can. Hopefully double everything. I could double everything. I'm gonna be happy, bro.
And you know, it don't work like that. I might not double the numbers as far as like, money or streaming wise, but my output, at least I got it.
Speaker C:Yeah.
Speaker A:If I could double my output, I'll. I'll be okay with whatever I get back.
Speaker B:Yeah, for sure. Control what you can control, right?
Speaker A:Exactly.
Speaker B:No, I. With that and. And you talking about your album. We've seen you've done albums previously. You've done shows previously. You know, are we.
Can we look forward to more shows?
Speaker A:For sure. I actually need to call Kamaya. I'm gonna call her right after this, actually. Yeah, we were been supposed to do a show before the.
It even got to March, but yeah, we're going to be doing probably two or three shows together this year.
Speaker B:Okay.
Speaker A:I really want to do the Splash Fest. I want to do like a festival based around like, obviously live entertainment, but basketball. Cuz I like playing basketball.
I ain't the best basketball player, but I get busy. I get busy. You feel my sh. Today, if y'all see my announcement, that don't count. I missed it. I missed it on purpose. But people was like, you weak.
I'm like, bro, that was playing the video. I got your attention. Marketing. But I'm cool. I'm cool when it come to hoops. So I'm trying to like, you know, host a little 3v3 tournament.
But I wanted to, like, my first couple years is not going to be the vision that I see. I ultimately see live entertainment with it, like a real big show. But Also you playing 3v3 with some of your favorite rappers.
Like your favorite artists are here.
Speaker B:Yeah.
Speaker A:Intermingled with, you know, the normal human, which we are normal humans. But you know how. Yeah, they're celebrities. I'm never going to be a celebrity. I don't care if I got a million to 10 million followers.
I'm still a normal nigga.
Speaker C:Yeah.
Speaker B:Yeah.
Speaker A:But you Got us normal niggas playing with the celebrities. And you like, nigga, we're going to have a good time. Some of the us normal niggas, better than them anyway, so we really going to have a good time.
You feel me? It's just like, cash prize, great entertainment, great food, all that. Just, you know, a good time, a good festival, but, like a dope one.
Speaker B:Yeah.
Speaker A:Just backing tracks with the artists that's performing. And, like, now I really want to curate a vibe. Like, that's dope vibe.
Speaker B:That's dope.
Speaker A:And I'm hoping I could do it in Richmond, in my hometown.
Speaker C:Okay, cool. Yeah.
Speaker A:Not wherever it'll take me, but I'm hoping I could do it there.
Speaker B:Well, whenever you do it, you're gonna see unquestionable there. We gotta go.
Speaker C:Come on.
Speaker B:For sure. You. You planning to go the whole nine With a host. With hosts at the games and everything. Like, go like, Rucker park with it.
Speaker A:Hell, bro, I want all of that. Like, I foresee, like, a real, like, rolling loud.
Speaker C:Okay. Yeah.
Speaker A:Like, I foresee mine being, like, rolling loud, but interactive.
Speaker B:Okay?
Speaker A:Like, you don't go to rolling Loud and know who's throwing rolling loud. My bad. But you gonna go to the Splash Fest and know I'm the. I. I run this. I own this. This is mine.
And I'm still gonna be out here talking to y'all, playing with y'all, hooping, getting hurt. If I get hurt, I'm going to be a normal human, which I'm a. You feel me? And so is all these celebrities. They normal today. Everybody is normal.
Speaker B:We all normal.
Speaker A:We normal. Everybody's normal. We're talking amongst each other. Like, we all is cool and know each other. You feel me? But ain't none of that secret.
Stay behind stage all day until it's time to perform. I just won't book you. Yeah, you just won't come. Because I don't. That's not the energy I'm trying to breathe. When it comes to my festival, I want to.
I want a bunch of niggas that are just happy to be outside and happy to be there, not fucking trying to act like they too big for the program. It's like, bro, yeah, you bleed just like I do.
Speaker B:Yeah.
Speaker A:It's like, just be a normal nigga.
Speaker C:That's cool, though.
Speaker B:Yeah, no, that's dope. And to see you value, obviously, that personal connection, right?
And to see that you guys as a whole, and you personally are building brands that are, you know, kind of exuding that Just personal connection. And that's. You guys kind of are here informing and inspiring, you know, the next generation and things of that nature.
Like, where does that come from? Is that something that, like, you knew just at the start of your creative journey, like, that was gonna be where you were different?
Or is it just something that through confidence and through repetition and things that it just. Those imperfections became perfect for? You know what I'm saying? Not necessarily imperfections, but you know what I'm saying?
The human aspect became what you wanted to show.
Speaker A:I think I didn't feel comfortable showing my human aspect until getting here. Like with GCU, cuz I seen LaRussell do it at his size. Like, when I first joined, he had like 300,000 followers. He's at 1.7 million now.
And I watched him do it at 300,000. He would walk around with sweats, crocs, baggy shirt, looking like a normal nigga, just being, showing him his true self. No haircut.
Bryce be tripping like, bro, we. You don't get. No, I'm getting here because every two weeks I still do. It's like, bro, I'm trying to stay, you know, a little fresh in there.
Everything else can be cool. Like, I wear whatever I just told you.
I'm wearing mismatched socks, but the hair got like, I like to get a good haircut every, you know, two to three weeks. Yeah, but just seeing how he wore him and was just so confident being him.
Speaker C:Yeah.
Speaker A:I was like, man, I could just be me.
Speaker C:Yeah. Yeah.
Speaker A:Who cares if I. I'm going to get talked about and laughed about regardless on what I do in life, I'm going to get talked about and laughed about, so why not do it?
Enjoying my life.
Speaker C:Yeah.
Speaker A:You feel me? They gonna talk anyway, so I might as well enjoy what I'm gonna be doing. Yeah, you feel me?
Instead of trying to fit in and hope these not when they really in reality are, and if they aren't, they don't give a. Regardless, nobody cares. So it's like, do you.
Speaker B:Yeah, no. And that's one thing.
Like, we had to even learn with just trying to start a podcast and doing all those things is like, you have that worry of just like external validation. Those exactly. Like, oh, you're doing a good job. Or things like what other people are thinking.
But oftentimes, you know, just getting started and just doing it yourself, you. You will get that naturally. Obviously, you're going to get the hate.
But those people that are hating, bro, realistically, who in the right Mind sees a video and just is like, damn, what is the worst thing I could say right now? Not your average person, you know what I'm saying? So anytime we see some hate comments, we're just like, we laugh about it.
Like we've had segments where we've reacted to like straight up just hate comments because we find them funny. We're like, bro, you're interacting. It's just motivation, you know, it's. We would rather, you know, I should.
Speaker A:Continue that segment like with other guests. What that y'all bring on. Y'all should just bring up like as the bigger artist y'all get. Cuz we deal with it.
Y'all should go find some comments and just like, let's just enter cuz it's funny, bro. They shouldn't take that serious. It's like something wrong with you.
Speaker B:Exactly.
Speaker A:I'm not gonna be sitting here arguing with you on the Internet, bro. I'm never gonna win. They gonna think we both idiots.
Speaker C:Exactly.
Speaker A:We're screaming at the phone. I'm not gonna be screaming at my phone. It's not happening.
Speaker B:Exactly. For our case, it's like, bro, they're clips.
You're getting a 10 second like insight of like a whole 10 minute conversation, bro, you did not get the full context. You, you're not understanding what the whole conversation was about.
But you could really, you know, you get those reactions out of people and all you could do is laugh, bro, because you're just like, well, I know I didn't mean that exactly.
Speaker A:One thing the Internet not going get me to do is go back and forth with it or try to prove anything that I know I'm not. It's like, bro, I'm not going to be sitting here playing with y'all. You. Everybody looks like a fool sitting there.
Every time I seen, you know, I'm not even gonna say no specific names, but every time I see a rapper go in there and be like, I'm like, bro, yeah. One, we don't care enough that you're proving yourself for what we don't even care for. Two, you look crazy.
Speaker C:Yeah.
Speaker A:You're screaming back at them. And you don't even know these people. They don't even know you. Which is why they speaking on you like this. You're never gonna win.
Speaker C:Yeah.
Speaker A:Let the Internet be the Internet, bro. Live in real life. I advise everyone.
Speaker B:Exactly.
Speaker A:Living real life, especially if you know you.
Speaker B:Exactly. Because the majority of people are just passive viewers or pass like, you know, it's not real.
Look at how I Mean, I could talk for myself, but I'm sure you guys probably feel the same way. Like, I scroll and, you know, I'm not the biggest interactor. You know, I'll be honest. I'm just not. So I know, shit.
The people who might support me might not be the biggest interactors in a sense. So it's like, I can't take that one hate comment too serious. You know what I'm saying?
Speaker A:Y. Y'all got y'all head on, right? For real.
Speaker B:Like, appreciate that.
Speaker A:Y'all are. Y'all are good. Y'all gonna go real far, bro. And I appreciate that.
Speaker B:I'm like, likewise.
Speaker A:I'm honored to. To be here at this moment, cuz y'all gonna be big one day, and y'all gonna have a lugging that. All that equipment around. I'm gonna be like, damn.
I remember when they pulled up on you, feel me with the wagon. And it's gonna be great to see because it's like, y'all. I could tell y'all really want it. Like, just seeing the hunger in your eyes.
When we first met, I was like, yep. And the way you communicate everything, bro, like, y'all want it, bro, and it is dope to see.
Speaker B:No, I appreciate it.
Speaker A:I'm honored to be here right now.
Speaker B:We're honored to have you, bro.
Speaker A:Great questions. I've gotten interviews before, and I'm just like, man, these questions are just. I can't do nothing with them because they're not giving me.
Me nothing to give. Yeah, they not poking deep. They just like, man. So it's like, bro, see, I do.
Speaker D:Got a question for you, though. So, like, you work with so many different artists and stuff, and for the most part, things go really, really well.
Has there any been any, like, challenges that you've ever faced while working with any artist or any type of setbacks that you just been in a room and you're just like, man, I can't do my right now. Like, if vibe was off or has there any been any. Any, like, you know, situations that you've been in more.
It's just like, kind of like, messes with you a little bit.
Speaker A:Yeah, I. I shot a video with an artist maybe like, two years ago, and I shot the video.
Everything went great during the shoot, but, like, the process of, like, trying to deliver the video was just like, I was micromanaged a lot. I was micromanaged. He was just, like, asking for things to be in the video that was like, I didn't see this vision, and it's my platform.
So it's like, we didn't have to do the video. I didn't need you for the video. I just wanted to do the video. I did it for free on my dime. Picked the artists up and everything.
Speaker C:Yeah.
Speaker A:Like. And it was just like, bro, you asking for a lot. And it's like, I don't really see how that correlates with the vision that we have for the video.
So it was hard with. Which ended up resulting in us not finishing the video. Damn. I end up scrapping it out, telling him, like, I'm just not gonna work on it. And. Yeah.
And we end up. I didn't exchange words. I didn't say nothing. Because it was like, bro, you, one, not gonna be my ass.
Speaker D:Two, I'm sure not dropping fucking videos.
Speaker A:Yeah, two, you not. You not gonna. Yeah, you can say what you want to say. But I know, one, you're not gonna be my ass. And two, it's just like, it's whatever, bro.
It's out of my hands now. Cause I've already been like it, so.
Speaker D:Yeah, yeah, that was just a question.
Because I know, like, you know, behind the scenes, there's so much, you know, things go on behind the scenes that a lot of people don't really get to hear and stuff. And for the most part, things go really, really well.
Speaker A:Yeah.
Speaker D:So that's just like, another, like, aspect that I always wondered, like. Well, does some just not go right once in a while?
Speaker A:Yeah.
And I feel like, don't be going right now sometimes on set, like, we'll have times where, like, the just sun placement and how shit is looking visually is just not hidden the same way we thought that it was gonna be hidden. And it's like, we gotta adjust. What can we do? How can we. You feel me? I still gotta figure out how to walk away with something today.
Speaker B:Yeah.
Speaker A:You know, so. But it don't ever be to the extent of, like, man, I fucking hate this nigga.
That was the good thing about, like, my journey is, like, I built my own platform from the start. So I never had to rely on being like, man, I hope he books me to shoot. Yeah, I'm just gonna shoot with whoever with me. Whoever with me.
You can come shoot with me. I'm shooting for free, probably, and we just gonna make something shake. But I never had to rely on a.
So it was never like, man, I gotta deal with this.
Speaker B:Yeah, that's.
Speaker D:That's such a good quality to have, though.
Because realistically, like, there's a lot of People that are just trying to get, you know, nickel and dime you and just be like, yo, bro, you gotta pay this. This in order to work with me and with me. Like, you gotta. You gotta pay a fee.
Speaker A:Exactly.
Speaker D:That's. That's an amazing quality to have. I really like that.
Speaker A:Thank you. Thank you.
Speaker D:Very admirable.
Speaker B:And with that being said, you know, you're. When you're doing the visualizers, you know, this is one take. You have one time to get it right. You know what I'm saying? Like, that.
That has to be a lot of pressure. How have you learned to adjust to some of this that just doesn't go right that we're talking about?
Like, have you learned to embrace it and turn it into moments?
Like, I'm sure you guys have done that, you know, because I've seen, you know, even visualizes where you guys have people running in and out of frame. You know those shits. Like, what. What is it that you've learned to embrace in those moments?
Speaker A:We've learned to embrace the imperfections how you said. Yeah, just embrace that, bro. People are running in the back because they're trying to get out the shot, bro. Just embrace it. It look cool.
Speaker B:Shit still look sick. Yeah.
Speaker A:If it's, like, not hurting the shot. If it's not hurting what y'all are trying to execute, fuck it. Why not? Like, people are.
If anybody goes through our video and they're like, why at 357 is people running from this side to. We don't care.
Speaker B:You don't love this song.
Speaker A:We don't care. You're not. We're not trying to serve you, brother. We. We here for the people who are like, man, this is hard.
Speaker B:Exactly.
Speaker A:Especially because we're, like, hyper creative. Like, we never. None of our visuals are filled, feel, or look the same.
Like, yeah, they're one shot, one take, but they all move in a different way and form. And they all, you know, like, we don't just go back and forth on a gamble. We move and we. It's ice cream trucks, it's cars.
Like, it's always something going on in our visuals that stick out.
Speaker B:Yeah, it's Marshawn lynch in the car running full speed.
Speaker D:That was crazy.
Speaker A:Full speed getting to it.
Speaker B:No, for real. And that's the beauty of it, too, is like, just the. Like you said, everything.
You're hyper creative, so everything is different, but it's still authentic, so it feels the same. You know what I'm saying? And that's like the beauty of it almost.
And when we're talking about Splash Bakery and you kind of maintaining that agency with your work and, like, wanting to work on what you want to work on and stuff. Like, what. Where did that come from? You know? Is that something you came in feeling, like, right away?
Because, you know, oftentimes people want to work for whoever's hot or like, oh, I'm just trying to get. I might mass dm, you know, some people to try to get some videos or whatever.
Like, what inspired you to say, like, no, I want to be in full creative control. I only want to work with artists who let my creative vision be seen because, like, you know, that is some real confidence from the start. You know.
Speaker A:I think not even.
I think Cole Bennett, like, watching his interviews and hearing why he started Lyrical Lemonade and, like, how it started and shit, and him having to stand on principles and turning down videos and, you know, he did a video for Gucci, man, and Wiz Khalifa, and it ended up not going on his platform. And I remember him talking about it in an interview where he was like, man, I turned it down at first.
And then I ended up being like, man, this is a great opportunity. Let me just leverage it, you know, which ended up turning out in his favor.
But I know from now being able to start my own platform, what he was doing and what he was trying to gain, which he ended up gaining, is like, I'm malleable. I'm open to giving something.
If I could gain the cultural equity to now bring it back home and be like, man, look what I got, you know, and at the time, I just didn't have artists that I was willing to want to do that for.
It was like, nah, I can't do that for you because I'm not gaining the same cultural equity to now be able to be like, nah, I know I dropped because I don't drop none of the Russell videos on my platform.
Speaker B:Yeah.
Speaker A:But everyone else, strictly my platform. We just won't work. You know, I had to really stand on my ground because I knew what I wanted to build.
Speaker B:Yeah.
Speaker A:And nobody comes to me like, will you let Russell. They don't care. Because I've. I stood on firm on everything else, which is like, the one exception.
Like, I never anytime anything in the past that didn't end up on my platform was out of my control. It was the label that got involved that made it to where it's like, well, you bigger than me and got a lot more money than me. You'll.
I know you'll Fight me and take what you feel me. So it's like, I never fought the labels, but any everything else, we just wouldn't drop it.
And I've had times where I've shot full videos edited, and then they want to act like we didn't discuss this because I always discuss first. This is how I drop things, how I do things. If you don't like it, we don't have to work. I'm cool with it.
Speaker C:Yeah.
Speaker A:This is how I operate.
Speaker B:Yeah.
Speaker A:And I've had videos not come up because there's no bad blood with the artists either. Like, they understood, but it was like, you know, I was serious. A lot of dudes didn't think I was dead serious. I was firm.
Speaker C:Yeah.
Speaker A:Like, bro, I'm not going. I want to build a platform thinking.
Speaker C:That you're just gonna send the video over to them.
Speaker A:And it's like, in order to build a platform, you got to stand firm on what you believe. Like, yeah, if you want to build something exclusively at your store, you have to stand firm and say, nah, I'm not giving it up to just go anywhere.
I said, this lives here.
Speaker B:No, definitely. Maintaining that ownership is huge.
Speaker A:Exactly.
Speaker B:You know what I'm saying? Because you're like, you, You. You said you have that ownership of almost how you perceived to everybody. You know what I'm saying? And that's a.
That's a big, big thing, you know, but moving from, like, you know, your pivot to. From doing music videos, doing visualizers, getting into, you know, the documentary space, what.
What kind of fueled that and where do you see that going, you know what I'm saying?
Speaker A:I feel like being here is. Is definitely what inspired, like, the docs and the vlogs, because I didn't do documentaries or vlogs at all prior to meeting Russell.
I only did music videos. So being here definitely inspired that because he wanted me to take that role on.
And I feel like that's what's going to take care of my grandkids and my they kids, like, the docs. I feel like I'm going to do a documentary one day and get a payout that make my eyes go, you know, like. And I don't know who it's going to be with.
We might go with Netflix. You don't know who will come along in the future and be like, man, we want to come. Cut that check. Doc is serious.
I've been documenting every day for the last two years and put together in real time. Like, we have a almost damn near complete Full DACA last year, and we shot every day.
I had to really go through and edit, but that's because I made docs in real time throughout the year. Same with now. Everything we doing now, I'm documenting and putting in real documentary form right now.
So when they come, we ain't got to put it together. We got it done. Just run the bag. Just run the bag. And I feel like we're gonna get some one day. That's just.
Like, this is going to take care of everyone. Yeah, everyone.
Speaker B:Staying proactive. And do you see. Do you see yourself experimenting more in the dog space? Do you see that being something you want to further in the future with?
Maybe, like you said, other. With whatever company might come, come and go or whatever it is? Is that something you might want to further?
Speaker A:I'll probably never document an artist again to the extent I've done with LaRussell.
Speaker B:Okay.
Speaker A:Because I feel like if I do what I'm doing here, right, I should never have to work again, ever. So. And this is tedious.
Speaker B:That's real.
Speaker A:It's a serious job being here documenting every single day. Like, you got to think, like, I still got my own, like, life and dealings that I'm dealing with. Like, if.
Imagine if I'm having a bad day, but I still got to get up and go to work because we here, here, here, you know, it's not. It's a sacrifice I'm willing to make here. I love this shit. Like, I love Russell.
I'm willing to do it for him, but not everybody is him just don't got the same hard. They don't got the same work ethic. They're not the same human. I got put into a really great position that niggas don't land in.
So it's like, I'm gonna just do it right the first time, so I ain't gotta do it no more.
Speaker D:You for sure got the right person, right Headspace.
Speaker C:Yeah.
Speaker A:Thank you, bro. Because it's like, artists are selfish. They fucked up. They trying to. They just want to win for them.
This is a nigga that's putting me in position to win for me. And with him, that don't happen.
It's like, the fact that I got this opportunity, I'm going to take full advantage so that I don't have to do it ever again. I should literally just be out of. What me and him do together should set me for life. So anything with Splash Bakery should be like, man, you good.
Yeah, you're overly good, you know?
Speaker B:And that that leads to my next question, I guess is I wanted to ask, like, what is the passion project? What is it, you know, when you don't have to work anymore? What is it that you will still do just for the love of it? You know what I'm saying? Is it.
Speaker A:Will it be albums? Okay, I'll be making music with people.
If I'm not by that time, like, making my own music, I'll definitely be, like, executive producing, still picking beats, picking artists to get on tracks together. Because by that time, hopefully I got enough pull to like, really make a phone call. Like, man, get on this. Yeah, please get on this.
You know, because right now I'm kind of at that point, like, what A few artists, like, Kamiyah is really my dog. If I called her and was like, bro, could you please lay a verse on this? She's gonna do it. And vice versa.
If she called me like, bro, can you shoot this? Like, I'm gonna do it. Yeah, like, we really got each other. That's really my dog.
Speaker B:But it.
Speaker A:And when I'm like, done, I. I'm hoping I'm at the point where I could, like, really call one of them jcole type. I'mma have the Russell in my pocket.
But it's like, I don't want to just be like, he want to be done one day. I don't want to have to call him out of return. I'm like, bro, come on. Yeah, yeah, old times. Come on.
Speaker C:Yeah.
Speaker A:I don't want to let bro, he. He didn't put in a lot of work.
He should be able to just ride off into the sunset when he done, you know, So I want to have a collection of artists that are of the caliber, if not, like, around that. That I could just, you know, call and be like, man, let's make an album.
Speaker C:Yeah, yeah, that'd be cool.
Speaker B:And I heard you say, you know, if you're not making your own music, are we gonna see splash in the booth here soon?
Speaker A:La Russell be like, putting me on songs. So I be like, I got experience. But every time I. I say I don't see it, but they all say they see it. I don't know how or why or where.
I don't even like the way my voice sounds on. On that just sounds terrible, bro. Only time I like it is when it's a interview clip or something. Because I could see myself.
It's like, at least I can see I look cool. But the voice just be like, yeah, yeah, to me. But to other people, they're like, bro, I really like it. I don't. I don't hear it.
Speaker B:Have you ever done a full song?
Speaker A:Yeah, a couple. Actually. I'm. I'm on a couple full songs with Russ. I'm on. I got a couple. Four songs of just me.
I was making songs fresh out of high school with the homies playing around. But I. I didn't think I was going to go nowhere. Like, dude, you know, I was too afraid to drop it too cuz I hated the way my voice sounded, so.
But it's crazy cuz it always be stories like this where this is like. Yeah. I remember telling this to some guy in the studio when we were. We were in LA and we were in the studio with. I think his name is David Ali.
It's Kendrick's.
Speaker B:Yeah.
Speaker A:Old producer or not producer, but mixer.
Speaker B:Mixed by Ali.
Speaker A:Yeah, mixed by Ali. Him. And we were in the studio with them and one of the guys he had with him, I was just telling him, he was like, you make music too.
And I was like, hate the way my voice sound like that. And he was like, bro, Kendrick was the same way. And I was like, crazy. Kind of crazy.
Speaker B:Yeah, yeah, yeah. Sometimes we hold ourselves back just because we don't.
Speaker C:We don't.
Speaker B:We're not sure what we can, you know, what we can do. But sometimes it be the people around you that see before you do.
Speaker A:Right?
