00:00:34.682 --> 00:00:36.588
Okay, now do they do all the masks?

That's a that's a heavy word, obsession.

00:00:50.640 --> 00:01:03.027

00:01:03.027 --> 00:01:08.161
It reminds me of when street wear was a big thing, right.

00:01:08.161 --> 00:01:11.588
So you have a lot of like unique pieces and stuff like that.

00:01:12.049 --> 00:01:13.373

You gave me the name.

00:01:16.060 --> 00:01:18.245
That's what I'm here for now.

00:01:18.786 --> 00:01:20.290

But you know he can spit his ass off, he can rap his ass off.

00:01:36.811 --> 00:01:40.016
Um, under the mask he cover his face.

00:01:40.016 --> 00:01:43.287
That they would pay Magazines would pay to put on the cover.

00:01:43.287 --> 00:01:45.692
You know, that's the way goddess man like.

00:01:46.719 --> 00:01:48.364
So great god is actually fine.

00:01:48.947 --> 00:01:57.489
I mean, they've been saying, like listen, they've been asking me, like yo, why you cover your face, like, is it because you look like who knows this one, this one, that?

00:01:57.489 --> 00:01:59.200
Nah, I don't look like none of them dudes.

00:01:59.200 --> 00:02:03.183
I don't look like them, don't smell like them, don't rap like he's saying that.

00:02:03.183 --> 00:02:03.825
You look like.

00:02:03.825 --> 00:02:08.709
I Think you got a good idea.

00:02:08.709 --> 00:02:11.626
I think you got a good idea already.

00:02:11.626 --> 00:02:15.604
I, I, I hear it in your voice.

00:02:15.604 --> 00:02:17.168
I know what you're going.

00:02:17.168 --> 00:02:19.372
I don't look like him for sure.

00:02:19.372 --> 00:02:36.556
Straight up, this, this mask, this mask is for my anonymity and mine's only the same, because I was like I was like no, I'm not gonna, I'm just gonna Going to back up you.

00:02:37.862 --> 00:02:43.240
Listen, do you wear the mask like 24 seven, or like you go to the grocery store with no mask on and then no one knows who you are?

00:02:43.240 --> 00:02:44.401
Right, that's, that's.

00:02:44.401 --> 00:02:46.587
That's the point is that you, I could take it off.

00:02:46.587 --> 00:02:51.826
You know, I'm saying I could go to the grocery store, I could go to Walmart.

00:02:51.826 --> 00:02:58.866
You know, I only leave it on when, when I'm wrapping it, help his cousin with the groceries on the plane and everything like.

00:02:58.866 --> 00:03:01.105
You know what I'm saying Just to you know?

00:03:01.105 --> 00:03:01.949
Just to start some.

00:03:01.979 --> 00:03:05.122
Wait, so nobody tells you to take it off on a plane or nowhere like that.

00:03:05.740 --> 00:03:11.969
I mean, yeah, they asked me to take it off, but you know, I think you only got to have it off to go through TSA.

00:03:12.300 --> 00:03:16.040
After that you probably After that, I can wear it wherever I want to Like.

00:03:16.061 --> 00:03:19.806
they don't like it, but you know I don't want y'all in my face sometimes.

00:03:20.400 --> 00:03:23.805
So after TSA do you go change in the bathroom, like on some Spider-Man?

00:03:24.240 --> 00:03:24.961
Yeah, yeah

00:03:29.460 --> 00:03:34.929
Like you go through TSA as you, and then, like, emerge from the bathroom as great God and fly home Whoa Yep.

00:03:35.919 --> 00:03:39.902
I go through TSA as me and then next thing you know that guy appear.

00:03:39.902 --> 00:03:41.326
They're like, oh, where he got here.

00:03:41.326 --> 00:03:44.228
They like, oh, I was on the plane with great God.

00:03:44.228 --> 00:03:46.802
Yeah, yeah, absolutely.

00:03:47.240 --> 00:03:48.343
When did the masks start?

00:03:49.819 --> 00:03:56.480
The mask started my first robbery, so that would have been like 97, eight, no.

00:03:58.401 --> 00:04:00.723
I was like, hey, yo Look at her face.

00:04:03.201 --> 00:04:04.848
So that's when the mask started.

00:04:05.500 --> 00:04:07.507
And I was like OK, well, we can just edit that out.

00:04:08.620 --> 00:04:11.504
It's staying, though, like it's normal.

00:04:12.020 --> 00:04:13.445
When did it start, for great God?

00:04:13.445 --> 00:04:19.019
The mask started like, probably like a year before COVID, like a year before.

00:04:19.038 --> 00:04:19.139
COVID.

00:04:19.139 --> 00:04:20.425
So you predicted COVID.

00:04:21.459 --> 00:04:22.442
No, I ain't going to.

00:04:22.442 --> 00:04:25.451
No, I'm going to predict that atrocity.

00:04:25.451 --> 00:04:48.764
No, yeah, I predict that, but I was already in my mask groove when it came out, so it was like it's all good, I just really like the whole mask thing is like just listen to what I'm saying, man, what I'm saying, look, I don't want to distract him by what I look like, because if I show y'all what I look like, did it unfair that I don't care what he post to have her?

00:04:48.764 --> 00:04:58.309
He post that when you look at somebody right and you hit him rap, right, I used to think that man, he ain't did that.

00:04:58.329 --> 00:04:59.701
He don't look like this, he don't look like.

00:04:59.701 --> 00:05:06.461
You know, we have, we have parallel, certain looks to certain things, like these ugly dog skin dudes.

00:05:06.461 --> 00:05:16.567
Oh, yeah, yeah, oh, we'll believe him if he, if he, spit against a rap, because you know, we just, we just been color coordinated that way with certain things.

00:05:16.567 --> 00:05:17.846
Oh, now I believe him.

00:05:17.846 --> 00:05:20.680
Now I don't believe him because of this and that I don't.

00:05:20.680 --> 00:05:23.149
You know, we even get them time to judge and do none of that.

00:05:23.149 --> 00:05:25.067

I like that.

00:06:11.800 --> 00:06:12.021
I don't.

00:06:12.021 --> 00:06:17.884
I really don't want it to be unfair, though, like when I take this mask off and I start doing these certain type of records.

00:06:17.884 --> 00:06:20.468
It's going to be unfair for these guys that don't look like me.

00:06:21.139 --> 00:06:24.589
Can we expect you to take the mask off anytime soon?

00:06:26.959 --> 00:06:29.442
Does that mean you're taking the mask off for the ladies Like is that?

00:06:30.579 --> 00:06:36.624
I'm going to take the mask off when I feel as though I reached my pinnacle.

00:06:36.624 --> 00:06:44.009
So just pitching me being on stage in the stadium and this comes off one day.

00:06:44.800 --> 00:06:49.269
And then I'm going to take it off and then the lights going to go down and I'm going to play my documentary in the back of it.

00:06:49.269 --> 00:06:50.562
Oh, that's.

00:06:50.562 --> 00:06:52.689
And we should have been new.

00:06:52.689 --> 00:06:56.904
I should have put it together like, oh that's great God, that's how I'm going to do that.

00:06:56.904 --> 00:07:08.711
So like maybe you know, like a year, year and a half, and then everybody will be smiling, like how she is at the bottom, when they were like, oh that's great God, like now it makes sense.

00:07:08.711 --> 00:07:19.959
But at that point they won't be able to hate, they won't be able to blackboard, they won't be able to do none of the stuff that they try to do for so many, for so many years.

00:07:19.959 --> 00:07:20.869
You know what I'm saying.

00:07:22.161 --> 00:07:23.646
We were in 1990.

00:07:23.646 --> 00:07:25.985
, Nah, that's just the name of the.

00:07:25.985 --> 00:07:29.108
This, this clothes is just 1990, something you know.

00:07:29.108 --> 00:07:34.418
Peace, connecticut you know my boy, joe Baggay, out in Connecticut, he got, he got a situation going.

00:07:34.418 --> 00:07:38.401
So you know, I like, I like, I like supporting man, you know.

00:07:38.944 --> 00:07:40.411
I see that we like that yeah.

00:07:41.415 --> 00:07:44.298
Yeah, yeah, look at him so you from.

00:07:44.517 --> 00:07:49.802
I didn't know you were also from the Midwest Right Also, so it's like both.

00:07:49.802 --> 00:07:54.305
Yes, I guess ultimately, you choose New York.

00:07:54.305 --> 00:08:00.228
As an adult, do you rock with anybody from the Midwest?

00:08:01.411 --> 00:08:02.898
Yeah, yeah, you know, like.

00:08:02.898 --> 00:08:11.663
So I got a bunch of family out there, all my cousins, but I like like I was just out there with Bode James, you know, shout out, bode, he in Detroit, that's Midwest.

00:08:11.663 --> 00:08:21.074
My godbrother Weasel Sims, a billionaire boy scout, you know, they from Chicago, murph Dilly, he from Chicago.

00:08:21.074 --> 00:08:26.963
I got a lot of a lot of family and extended rap family in the Midwest, my man Guap.

00:08:26.963 --> 00:08:28.456
So yeah, man, yeah.

00:08:29.079 --> 00:08:30.463
What made you decide on New York?

00:08:31.235 --> 00:08:32.600
Oh, my father state New York.

00:08:32.600 --> 00:08:37.125
So my oh, so upstate New York, my pops live, my pops live in upstate.

00:08:37.125 --> 00:08:46.937
So you know, I started going to see him and then when I got over there I met a nice young lady, beautiful young lady.

00:08:46.937 --> 00:09:01.423
I had my first child in Rochester and then, you know, I end up just leaving for Rochester and going like an hour over the Syracuse because my man had it popping over there and he was like man, you can add his towns on.

00:09:01.423 --> 00:09:03.522
I made all the money I would.

00:09:03.522 --> 00:09:04.424
He was rich, rich.

00:09:04.424 --> 00:09:09.903
He was taking Chris D'Albass, his name Sean, so he was like now you can add his son.

00:09:09.903 --> 00:09:18.486
So then I came to Syracuse and then I had two, you know two more children and you know it just been.

00:09:18.486 --> 00:09:23.975
I've been in Syracuse ever since, but I go back and forth to the between Syracuse and Brooklyn and Vegas all the time.

00:09:24.296 --> 00:09:28.427
So I think those are three great places to be.

00:09:29.217 --> 00:09:31.234
Yeah, yeah, that's like the trifecta, yeah.

00:09:31.315 --> 00:09:31.495
Yeah.

00:09:32.096 --> 00:09:40.065
Right yeah, the trifecta, yeah yeah, right now you're tuned into the guy, the voice.

00:09:40.065 --> 00:09:44.158
You already know what it is, man, it's great God, you know the voice, never saw the face.

00:09:44.158 --> 00:09:45.845
I'm in the place right now, in the field.

00:09:45.845 --> 00:09:48.784
I'm in the field right now with Lady D and E Boogie.

00:09:48.784 --> 00:09:51.945
So, hey, man, follow the God, follow them.

00:09:51.945 --> 00:09:53.500
They've got beautiful smiles.

00:09:53.500 --> 00:09:55.437
Go follow them, man, you can see.

00:09:55.437 --> 00:09:57.844
They can't see my smile, but I see this.

00:09:57.844 --> 00:09:59.717
It's beautiful, it's great God.

00:09:59.717 --> 00:10:00.682
In the field radio.

00:10:00.682 --> 00:10:01.684
You already know what it is.

00:10:02.634 --> 00:10:08.629
So you've had your name Great God for a very long time, right?

00:10:08.629 --> 00:10:15.299
Well, it says you were with the 5% nation and you were learning your lessons like faster than other kids.

00:10:15.782 --> 00:10:16.001
Right.

00:10:16.081 --> 00:10:19.782
And they said "you great God that's right and that was that.

00:10:20.356 --> 00:10:20.779
Are you still?

00:10:20.799 --> 00:10:22.008
with the 5% nation.

00:10:22.008 --> 00:10:24.662
Yeah, I mean it's sounds past tense.

00:10:25.197 --> 00:10:42.929
So so I don't know if that maybe just was something the way somebody wrote it, but so one thing about having knowledge yourself and being in the 5% nation is just like it's a natural progression for me to, to orthodox Islam Right, but it's not something that you ever.

00:10:42.929 --> 00:10:43.715
It's not a gang.

00:10:43.715 --> 00:10:48.039
So it's like like you get initiated and you say, yo son, I'm out, I don't want to be that, no more.

00:10:48.039 --> 00:10:51.855
So that those teachers are always in my mind.

00:10:51.855 --> 00:10:57.039
You know those teachers are the reason that I talk, the way I do, the way I handle people, the way I do.

00:10:57.461 --> 00:11:00.254
You know my daily life is shown through those lessons.

00:11:00.254 --> 00:11:05.091
So those lessons is always going to be, you know, shown through.

00:11:05.091 --> 00:11:07.715
You know my daily life and what I do every day.

00:11:07.715 --> 00:11:14.134
So you know I may not like, like, obviously I might not go to, to, to Parliament.

00:11:14.134 --> 00:11:17.004
So Parliament is like going to church for 5%.

00:11:17.004 --> 00:11:25.864
It's like where everybody meet up and you know the gods and the earths and they go through their lessons and you know they go through their degrees and they build.

00:11:25.864 --> 00:11:27.735
It's a place to build with other gods.

00:11:27.735 --> 00:11:33.467
So I don't do that as often, but the lessons is always going to be a part of who I am.

00:11:34.076 --> 00:11:35.042
I can understand that.

00:11:35.720 --> 00:11:40.947
Yeah, it's like writing 5%ers nowadays, or at least not talking about it.

00:11:41.876 --> 00:11:52.403
Right, and that's why that's another reason why I implemented in my record so much because I feel like that when I was coming up and I was listening to music the brothers that was that was putting the lessons in their music.

00:11:52.403 --> 00:11:54.932
It intrigued me, you know.

00:11:54.932 --> 00:12:04.565
So if I can spark that same interest in one of the young gods, then I feel like that, because ultimately that's my duty is to civilize, to uncivilize and to teach the kids.

00:12:04.565 --> 00:12:14.190
So if we can teach, if I can grab one or two attentions of, you know, even just a few babies, and make them say, damn, what is he talking about, let me, oh, I gotta go do that.

00:12:14.190 --> 00:12:14.625
Now.

00:12:14.625 --> 00:12:20.735
I gotta learn my Supreme Alphabet, now I gotta know my Supreme Math to understand what he's saying.

00:12:20.735 --> 00:12:24.836
So that'll make them, because that's what made me dig into having knowledge of self.

00:12:24.924 --> 00:12:29.772
It was like when I hear people saying this and that and it's like the God Jew.

00:12:29.772 --> 00:12:32.230
Or when Method man says you got the good power you.

00:12:32.230 --> 00:12:34.029
It's like power you, what is it?

00:12:34.029 --> 00:12:35.033
Okay, oh, okay.

00:12:35.033 --> 00:12:39.825
So now you gotta do the knowledge and you gotta do the homework and see what it is that he's talking about.

00:12:39.825 --> 00:12:44.731
So if I can spark that, that'll be beautiful, even if it's within a few people.

00:12:45.424 --> 00:12:48.812
I mean, I want to know, I didn't know All right.

00:12:49.504 --> 00:12:56.490
So growing up on the early nineties music that did incorporate the 5% in it, you felt like you were learning.

00:12:56.490 --> 00:13:01.313
I feel like music is missing that nowadays, there's not as much storytelling or as much knowledge being passed.

00:13:01.374 --> 00:13:04.413
Right Now it's definitely, it's definitely wanted down.

00:13:05.144 --> 00:13:18.711
And that's why a great God is here and that's the blessing of great God is because I came up in an era where you had to be dead nice to get a record deal, like you had to really be talking about something and you had to have some subject matter.

00:13:18.784 --> 00:13:26.373
And it had to it better make sense, your hook better match the lyrics and the lyrics better match the hook when right now it's just really about to beat.

00:13:26.373 --> 00:13:34.914
So you know, if I can restore any piece of that, you know, like I said then I'm that's what I'm here to do is to teach.

00:13:34.914 --> 00:13:40.629
And then, you know, give them the pros and the cons of the things that I've been through, because I've been through a lot.

00:13:40.629 --> 00:13:44.414
But you know, I can't just give them the ups.

00:13:44.414 --> 00:13:46.373
I got to show them the ups and the downs.

00:13:46.373 --> 00:13:52.089
You know I'll be like everybody else and just say, oh yeah, I was hustling, I had eight ball.

00:13:52.089 --> 00:14:04.395
Now I got 40 birds and a Ferrari and a mansion and all these lion-ass rappers that got these young boys thinking that they could go get a pound and next thing, you know, they're going to be scar faced when that ain't really how I go.

00:14:05.206 --> 00:14:09.009
Yo, there's a comedian Ali Sadiq.

00:14:09.009 --> 00:14:10.193
He was talking about that.

00:14:10.193 --> 00:14:17.375
Like you know, I guess he was successful at some point, but he's like, in order to get there, there's a lot of unsuccessful times you have.

00:14:17.375 --> 00:14:20.274
So, he was selling it since he was 14.

00:14:20.274 --> 00:14:23.253
So, yeah, by the time he was 25 or something like that.

00:14:23.253 --> 00:14:24.475
He better have been good at it.

00:14:25.105 --> 00:14:25.626
Right.

00:14:26.610 --> 00:14:28.412
Yeah, no doubt, but they don't show you that part.

00:14:29.426 --> 00:14:31.831
No, they don't show you that and they don't even tell you that.

00:14:31.831 --> 00:14:33.326
And that's what's unfit Like.

00:14:33.326 --> 00:14:44.750
It's like if you know something and you don't tell somebody like you I'm not I can't just give you the glamour aside I got to let you know that your mother might get kidnapped, you might have to hurt somebody, people might try to hurt you.

00:14:44.750 --> 00:14:48.910
You understand, you're going to lose work, you're going to go up, you're going to go down.

00:14:48.910 --> 00:14:56.835
You never know what's going to happen in that game and it's built for destruction, to be honest with you.

00:14:56.835 --> 00:15:06.480
So if you don't tell a young man that, or even try to keep him away from that, then yeah, you can't call yourself a man.

00:15:06.945 --> 00:15:08.470
So what does success look like for you?

00:15:08.470 --> 00:15:11.971
Because it's not the, it's not the jewelry

00:15:13.495 --> 00:15:26.558
Yeah, so for so successful me in terms of rap is just being heard, because that's all I ever really want to do is just let somebody hear these records and let them hear what I had to offer.

00:15:26.558 --> 00:15:29.553
So for me it's just being heard.

00:15:29.553 --> 00:15:33.475
That's why the music is different, because it's not financially driven.

00:15:33.475 --> 00:15:34.687
It's not.

00:15:34.687 --> 00:15:38.731
I'm financially good already, so now I could really give you my heart.

00:15:38.731 --> 00:15:45.177
I don't have to conform to what sells and what I think may sell and what may not sell.

00:15:45.177 --> 00:15:46.278
I'm just geek.

00:15:46.278 --> 00:15:55.105
I just plugged the auxiliary cord into my heart and go in the booth you know I'm saying or get in front of the microphone and give you all of my experiences.

00:15:56.028 --> 00:15:57.985
It's genuine, it's not desperate.

00:15:58.547 --> 00:16:01.442
Right, yeah, not at all, not at all.

00:16:02.139 --> 00:16:11.388
Discuss a little bit about your sound, because your sound is very different from what the mainstream is pushing now, especially in New York.

00:16:11.388 --> 00:16:13.427
There's such a focus on drill music.

00:16:13.427 --> 00:16:14.563
But you're not bad at all.

00:16:14.563 --> 00:16:18.309
Do you feel the pressure to conform to that.

00:16:18.821 --> 00:16:19.845
No, I don't know.

00:16:19.845 --> 00:16:21.202
It's enough of that.

00:16:21.202 --> 00:16:24.909
It's so many people giving them that, what you just named it.

00:16:24.909 --> 00:16:26.164
I don't need to give them that.

00:16:26.164 --> 00:16:30.570
It's a lot of people's service in those fans.

00:16:30.570 --> 00:16:35.625
I'm here to service the audience like you that want to hear something different.

00:16:35.625 --> 00:16:39.287
They're actually want to hear lyrics, they want to hear a record that makes sense.

00:16:39.287 --> 00:16:49.833
That's not just talking about the same old thing, because a lot of these records, all of them, is just it's really the same record, it's just a different beat, but they're all really saying the same exact thing.

00:16:49.833 --> 00:16:50.840
You know what I'm saying.

00:16:51.019 --> 00:16:55.840
Even if you listen to an artist and you listen to his album, it really don't really be no subject matter.

00:16:55.840 --> 00:16:57.879
You don't really get to know who they are as an artist.

00:16:57.879 --> 00:17:02.964
You get to just know how much money they got, how many women they slept with, what they.

00:17:02.964 --> 00:17:09.180
You know how much they spent on their jewelry, how much they house cost, they car cost, and then you get an ego to the next song.

00:17:09.180 --> 00:17:10.183
It's the same thing.

00:17:10.183 --> 00:17:15.626
My car cost this, my house cost that, and yeah, I ain't hear that.

00:17:15.861 --> 00:17:21.799
So I don't feel no pressure when it comes to me giving them what great God has been given, because I know that it's needed.

00:17:21.799 --> 00:17:27.384
I know I'm feeling a void with that and I can sleep better that night knowing that I'm giving them something different.

00:17:27.384 --> 00:17:32.682
I gave them that before, though Don't get it wrong, and don't and I'm not, and don't mistake it.

00:17:32.682 --> 00:17:38.428
Like everything that I like, snow Day is a driven album, so it's, it's you know.

00:17:38.428 --> 00:17:43.248
But, like I said, it's ups and downs of that game, so I just explained a little bit of all of it.

00:17:43.460 --> 00:17:45.346
I love the artwork on that project.

00:17:45.346 --> 00:17:47.050
Yeah, that artwork, yeah, thank you.

00:17:47.050 --> 00:17:55.448
I like your artwork in general, but when I saw like with the, with the shovel, is the, the razor blade, the blade, yeah, I thought that was.

00:17:55.509 --> 00:17:57.798
I was like what you said it was the ball.

00:17:57.798 --> 00:18:06.807
I felt like man, I was slow, I was like I looked at it and we were talking about the mask, and then I came back and looked at it again I said, is that a razor blade?

00:18:10.121 --> 00:18:11.586
I saw that and I started cracking up.

00:18:11.586 --> 00:18:12.744
I was like this is lit.

00:18:12.744 --> 00:18:14.666
Where do you come up with your artwork?

00:18:14.666 --> 00:18:17.028
Do you do your artwork or does someone do it for you?

00:18:17.028 --> 00:18:17.863
Is it your ideas?

00:18:18.880 --> 00:18:20.948
Yeah, so a lot of it is always my idea.

00:18:20.948 --> 00:18:23.890
That particular album cover was Travis Chapman.

00:18:23.890 --> 00:18:29.287
That was his idea and he let me borrow that idea because it went along with what I was doing.

00:18:29.287 --> 00:18:33.010
So I could take no credit for for that cover.

00:18:33.010 --> 00:18:38.164
But every other cover is, is, is, is my guy Stay Fresh, corpse out of?

00:18:38.164 --> 00:18:40.451
Uh, uh, uh, where in state?

00:18:40.451 --> 00:18:46.208
Where did my Godbrother from Czech, czech Republic, and he does all of my artwork in general?

00:18:46.208 --> 00:18:49.349
Him and then Craig Dyer do a lot of my artwork too.

00:18:49.349 --> 00:18:51.667
So you know if it's it's one of those three.

00:18:51.667 --> 00:19:00.307
But uh, that snow day joint was definitely Travis Chapman, that was his, that's his brainchild and I'm like, ooh, that's perfect, whoa.

00:19:00.900 --> 00:19:02.907
How did you link with someone for art in the Czech Republic?

00:19:03.461 --> 00:19:07.971
Uh yo, this internet, the world, the Instagram, instagram.

00:19:07.971 --> 00:19:14.186
He started off as a supporter and somebody who liked the music and then he told me that you know he did.

00:19:14.186 --> 00:19:23.848
He did artwork and he did covers and what's the beautiful thing about him is that after he did the very first cover, then he ended up doing the God Squad logos for my chains.

00:19:23.848 --> 00:19:27.170
He did every cover after that and he never let me pay him.

00:19:27.170 --> 00:19:34.259
He was always like nah man, when it, when it rained and we'll all get wet, when it's time to break bread, we'll break bread.

00:19:34.359 --> 00:19:38.795
For now, I'm a pay it forward and I understand the concept of paying it forward.

00:19:38.795 --> 00:19:41.267
I did that for years, so I admired him for that.

00:19:41.267 --> 00:19:46.747
So I'm like you know, I give him the chance to do all the artwork after that and he go above and beyond too.

00:19:46.747 --> 00:19:52.789
So, like, if I asked him for an IG cover or I asked him for an EP cover, he gonna send me the EP cover.

00:19:52.789 --> 00:19:56.684
He gonna send me the YouTube banner, a Twitter banner, a Facebook banner.

00:19:56.684 --> 00:20:00.506
He gonna send me a moving joint Shout out to Stay Fresh, man.

00:20:00.506 --> 00:20:01.804
Like, stay Fresh, corp.

00:20:01.804 --> 00:20:02.205
Man.

00:20:02.226 --> 00:20:04.104
Yeah, shout out to Stay Fresh for real.

00:20:04.526 --> 00:20:05.761
Nah, for real, he like, he go.

00:20:05.761 --> 00:20:12.808
It's like you know, somebody might have took three weeks to do just a regular cover, but he a go, he always go above and beyond.

00:20:12.808 --> 00:20:15.167
So shout out to the God brother for that man.

00:20:15.167 --> 00:20:16.525
His grandmother is sick.

00:20:16.525 --> 00:20:23.627
I wanna send her a shout out right now and you know, some prayers up to her on her speedy recovery also.

00:20:23.627 --> 00:20:24.983
Yeah, that's my guy.

00:20:25.279 --> 00:20:27.948
Did he do the Kill Bill remix cover too?

00:20:28.249 --> 00:20:28.650
Who did?

00:20:28.650 --> 00:20:29.884
No, he didn't.

00:20:29.884 --> 00:20:34.744
To be honest with you, I forgot who Cause Kill Bill remix.

00:20:34.744 --> 00:20:44.050
I put that on my page and I got so many different remix, so many different people submitting it, so pardon me, but I forgot who did the one that I end up using.

00:20:44.050 --> 00:20:49.289
It might have been my man, william Bostic, though, but if it wasn't, yeah, you know, I forgot.

00:20:49.289 --> 00:20:50.505
I forgot who did that one.

00:20:50.680 --> 00:20:52.306
It's SZA here the remix yeah.

00:20:53.563 --> 00:20:55.008
You didn't see the thing on my story.

00:20:55.299 --> 00:20:56.223
No, I missed it.

00:20:56.660 --> 00:20:59.088
Yeah, I'm gonna get a screenshot and repost it.

00:20:59.088 --> 00:21:02.969
But yeah, man, yeah, I was actually gonna shoot a video for it and all that.

00:21:02.969 --> 00:21:05.288
I still might shoot one, cause I just love that record.

00:21:05.288 --> 00:21:07.319
Sza's one of them, people like that.

00:21:07.319 --> 00:21:12.028
I got put on the SZA late and I used to just hear that record when I on Hot 97.

00:21:12.028 --> 00:21:16.045
I'm like the melody just intrigued me and the way she sounds and I'm like who is that?

00:21:16.045 --> 00:21:19.683
And then I looked up the instrumental one morning and I'm like yo man.

00:21:19.683 --> 00:21:28.424
Then somebody asked me about doing a remix before the official remix came out and I'm like I thought it was somebody from her camp but it ended up not being.

00:21:28.424 --> 00:21:33.509
But somebody just wanted me to do a remix and was perpetrating like there was some from her camp.

00:21:33.509 --> 00:21:36.449
So I did it thinking that it might be the real remix.

00:21:36.660 --> 00:21:42.928
Yeah, that was a dope remix, especially like the juxtaposition between her singing and then like your raspy voice with the bars coming in.

00:21:43.480 --> 00:21:45.728
Yeah, oh, you liked that one, I appreciate it yeah.

00:21:46.539 --> 00:21:54.384
And that was really like the first time that the ladies got to hear great God talk about something other than a lot of people were saying like, oh, I wonder if he could.

00:21:54.384 --> 00:21:55.262
I wanna that's.

00:21:55.262 --> 00:21:56.186
Is that all he could do?

00:21:56.186 --> 00:21:57.545
I wonder if he could do this and that.

00:21:57.545 --> 00:21:59.326
So it was like I felt like that.

00:21:59.326 --> 00:22:06.907
That record was perfect timing for me to just show my range as an artist at the same time and then not compromise who, great God.

00:22:06.907 --> 00:22:07.944
But did you feel like it was a?

00:22:07.944 --> 00:22:10.428
Did you feel like, oh, he getting soft when you heard it?

00:22:10.680 --> 00:22:14.509
No, cause I wasn't sure like the reason behind you hopping on it.

00:22:14.509 --> 00:22:22.226
You know what I mean, cause sometimes people just hop on like a industry B or a big song just to, kind of like, get the SEO clicks right.

00:22:22.226 --> 00:22:34.164
So when I put it on I was like, oh okay, like this is not what I expected at all, cause the way, especially the way you were, like you didn't just do like one verse at the end or anything like that, like you sounded like you belonged on the record.

00:22:34.539 --> 00:22:37.308
Right, oh, that's dope, that's dope, that's dope, that's dope.

00:22:38.280 --> 00:22:39.988
So it mentions that.

00:22:39.988 --> 00:22:41.625
So in March, right?

00:22:41.625 --> 00:22:43.826
I think we got your bio in March.

00:22:43.826 --> 00:22:49.272
In March your goals were to drop an EP every quarter.

00:22:49.272 --> 00:22:50.884
Are you on track for that?

00:22:50.924 --> 00:22:51.247
still.

00:22:51.247 --> 00:22:59.606
Oh nah, you know I ended up signing the deal and you know when you sign like when you, I ended up signing with rock Marcy, shout out to rock Marcy and Pimpire.

00:22:59.606 --> 00:23:09.287
I ended up signing the deal, so now, like dropping dropping music is is is not as easy as me just saying I'm about to drop my EP today and upload it.

00:23:09.287 --> 00:23:14.887
If I hadn't signed the deal, I would have did that, though, cause I definitely got four or five EPs ready right now.

00:23:15.048 --> 00:23:16.250
Like literally that's what it says.

00:23:16.700 --> 00:23:18.487
Yeah, I got like four or five of them ready right now.

00:23:18.487 --> 00:23:19.142
I could do it.

00:23:19.142 --> 00:23:28.886
I could have did it, but you know well, for respect for my brother and respect for the label, I'm just waiting it out to see what, see what me and rock can do, and then then we're going to flood them.

00:23:28.960 --> 00:23:30.444
So how do you feel about?

00:23:30.444 --> 00:23:38.769
If you think about that, so in March, right, your goals were one thing, and it's August, right now, and the drastic change in that plan.

00:23:39.059 --> 00:23:41.039
Nah, it's beautiful, I'm not going to lie it.

00:23:41.039 --> 00:23:45.506
Just you know, what it really showed me was that it's never too late for one.

00:23:45.506 --> 00:23:55.547
And then just you got to just just consistency and being persistent and just staying at it, and it can happen, because you know this, this is not my first rodeo.

00:23:55.547 --> 00:23:56.482
It's not like that.

00:23:56.482 --> 00:24:05.048
I started rapping last year, but I was always one foot in, one foot out of the streets and that really consumed most of my time, most of my energy.

00:24:05.048 --> 00:24:08.787
Well, that's what I was putting most of my time and energy in was a street.

00:24:08.787 --> 00:24:13.644
So it was like, nah, I mean, let me concentrate on this and let me see what happened.

00:24:13.644 --> 00:24:19.711
Like if I give him my all and I and I can't be more, you know happy about the outcome.

00:24:19.711 --> 00:24:23.845
I'm glad that I did that, cause now I don't have to do the things that I was doing before.

00:24:24.059 --> 00:24:31.446
Talk about signing a deal Cause, literally when I was doing research for this interview and someone had asked you like are you looking for a deal or whatever?

00:24:31.446 --> 00:24:32.284
And you said no.

00:24:32.284 --> 00:24:34.906
So what made you flip on that?

00:24:35.980 --> 00:24:37.085
Because of who it was.

00:24:37.085 --> 00:24:42.227
So rock more seems like the, the, the, the, the JZ to the underground.

00:24:42.227 --> 00:24:49.971
So imagine me telling rock like now I'm cool, son you know what I'm saying, like no, no, he's not saying Right.

00:24:50.030 --> 00:25:01.749
Knowing his reach, knowing what could come out of it, knowing that I watched him propel people that I know personally to start them, you know, so it was a no-brainer for me.

00:25:01.749 --> 00:25:04.134
I said, nah, of course, like let's join forces.

00:25:04.134 --> 00:25:12.505
And then you know his effort at getting me to sign with the label was, it was all genuine, so it was a no-brainer for me.

00:25:12.505 --> 00:25:15.096
It was like, oh yeah, let's do it, let's do it.

00:25:15.096 --> 00:25:27.884
But initially, like you know, I always said I never really won the record deal because I never really wanted to conform to the way that they release music and the way that they things that you gotta jump through when you want to label.

00:25:27.884 --> 00:25:28.849
But over at them.

00:25:28.970 --> 00:25:30.336
So is that what you expected?

00:25:30.589 --> 00:25:32.454
Well, having a deal, yeah, Nah.

00:25:32.454 --> 00:25:35.301
Yeah, because as soon as I got the deal with rock, I went on tour.

00:25:35.301 --> 00:25:40.604
You know it was overseas dates, it was US dates, you know what I'm saying.

00:25:40.604 --> 00:25:45.415
So that happened immediately, soon as I signed, I was on stage.

00:25:45.415 --> 00:25:48.883
He was putting me on stages before I even signed the deal.

00:25:48.883 --> 00:25:51.128
So you know who could ask for more than that?

00:25:51.391 --> 00:25:52.957
And you guys have a project together too.

00:25:53.230 --> 00:25:55.059
Yeah, so we're working on a project right now.

00:25:55.059 --> 00:26:03.411
It's called God Brothers, so that's me and Rap Marci going back and forth like Ray Quawain and Ghost Dead, you know, and that should be coming out.

00:26:03.411 --> 00:26:05.919
I'm thinking it's going to come out before the end of the year, for sure.

00:26:06.172 --> 00:26:07.384
That's exciting Congratulations.

00:26:07.384 --> 00:26:07.929
I like it Yay.

00:26:08.617 --> 00:26:09.589
Thank you, I appreciate it.

00:26:09.770 --> 00:26:11.096
So talk about the God Squad.

00:26:11.289 --> 00:26:12.432
The God Squad.

00:26:12.432 --> 00:26:16.742
So the God Squad consists of rappers, it consists of producers.

00:26:16.742 --> 00:26:19.637
God Squad is a whole, is a family.

00:26:19.637 --> 00:26:26.837
That's why, like you hear me refer to somebody as my God brother Like we not friends, we brothers in this, you know.

00:26:26.837 --> 00:26:32.255
So the God Squad is just dope, dope MCs.

00:26:32.255 --> 00:26:33.979
Like we can really put out a compilation.

00:26:33.979 --> 00:26:38.762
I'm putting out the compilation, the God Squad compilation, with my next project.

00:26:38.762 --> 00:26:46.557
So you know, simultaneously I'm putting them both out at the same time and I'm going to introduce you to everybody that's in the God Squad and you go, it's like.

00:26:46.557 --> 00:26:50.146
It's like a 2025 version of Wu-Tang.

00:26:50.146 --> 00:26:51.109
You know what I'm saying?

00:26:51.109 --> 00:27:01.223
All walks of life, different races, people from different places, there's all here for one common cause, which is to show the world that we can get busy on this mic.

00:27:01.223 --> 00:27:02.849
So that's what the God Squad is.

00:27:02.849 --> 00:27:08.008
I'm on there, you know, every week we all jumping on each other records and it's dope.

00:27:08.008 --> 00:27:09.271
It's coming out real dope.

00:27:09.271 --> 00:27:17.191
The walking movie in the field radio, you know, the vibes turn up in the building Ice to God.

00:27:17.932 --> 00:27:21.278
That's the hip hop 50.

00:27:21.338 --> 00:27:24.644
question 50 years of hip hop.

00:27:24.869 --> 00:27:25.172
All right.

00:27:25.192 --> 00:27:28.424
So hip hop is celebrating its 50th anniversary this year.

00:27:28.424 --> 00:27:30.932
We've all grown up on the genre, which is pretty cool.

00:27:30.932 --> 00:27:32.497
What are your favorite?

00:27:32.497 --> 00:27:35.303
What is your favorite bar of the last 50 years?

00:27:35.303 --> 00:27:38.396
Can you rap it and then let us know why it's your favorite?

00:27:38.778 --> 00:27:40.362
One like single bar.

00:27:40.890 --> 00:27:41.632
One single bar.

00:27:41.632 --> 00:27:43.394
That like blew your mind oh.

00:27:43.756 --> 00:27:46.221
God, one single bar.

00:27:46.221 --> 00:27:48.971
I think of one bar that just always stuck out.

00:27:48.971 --> 00:27:51.076
I got some.

00:27:51.076 --> 00:27:54.722
All of my favorite MCs are so dope but it's hard, right.

00:27:54.722 --> 00:27:56.993
Okay, rock him, rock him.

00:27:56.993 --> 00:27:59.703
I tell you who you are, why you're here.

00:27:59.703 --> 00:28:02.383
Take it in stride, because it might take a year.

00:28:02.383 --> 00:28:04.559
That's my favorite single one bar.

00:28:04.559 --> 00:28:07.578
I tell you who you are and why you're here.

00:28:07.578 --> 00:28:10.152
Take it in stride because it might take a year.

00:28:10.152 --> 00:28:11.915
So that line was hit.

00:28:11.915 --> 00:28:19.903
That was him letting the people know like I'm the God, like he had knowledge yourself and I can tell you who you are and why you're here.

00:28:19.903 --> 00:28:23.983
But take it in stride, be patient, because it might take a year.

00:28:23.983 --> 00:28:26.011
You understand that's my thing.

00:28:26.011 --> 00:28:28.542
That probably was one of my single most favorite bar.

00:28:28.644 --> 00:28:28.944
Rock him.

00:28:28.944 --> 00:28:30.751
It's like the nicest person on the planet.

00:28:31.493 --> 00:28:32.655
You know what's so crazy?

00:28:32.655 --> 00:28:34.359
Ask me how I've ever met rock him.

00:28:34.520 --> 00:28:35.711
Have you ever met rock him?

00:28:36.172 --> 00:28:37.354
Never, never, nope.

00:28:37.354 --> 00:28:38.455
I want to meet rock him.

00:28:38.596 --> 00:28:48.242
So the college radio station that we broadcast on did a show probably six or seven years ago now, and rock him was the headliner.

00:28:48.242 --> 00:28:52.586
They used to do a free, like it was called hip hop 101, and it was supposed to be like a, you know.

00:28:52.586 --> 00:29:10.834
They had all the elements, so they would have DJs, they would have break dancers come, they would have art and they would have rappers come and rock him came out and he was like one of the only that hung around after his set and made sure that he talked to everybody and took pictures with everybody and it was just.

00:29:10.834 --> 00:29:14.221
It was just like such a dope moment for from such an iconic person.

00:29:14.670 --> 00:29:16.035
Yeah, no doubt, no doubt.

00:29:16.035 --> 00:29:20.509
And for him you would so many people that got egos that you like.

00:29:20.509 --> 00:29:31.904
Why do you got like all people you got to, but him, him, rock him is one of the people that has earned the right to maybe have a little bit of ego and don't have it.

00:29:31.904 --> 00:29:33.573
So that's the beautiful part about that.

00:29:33.573 --> 00:29:35.500
You know what I'm saying.

00:29:35.520 --> 00:29:36.948
They tell you don't meet your idols.

00:29:36.948 --> 00:29:39.417
You know what I mean, cause sometimes it could be it could go left.

00:29:39.417 --> 00:29:48.681
So when you beat someone like rock him, who is down to earth and it, you know is that really appreciates the fans and you think of how far he's come.

00:29:48.681 --> 00:29:50.623
It's just like an extra special treat.

00:29:51.125 --> 00:29:58.202
Nah, absolutely, because he definitely earned the ability to the right to have an attitude if he felt like it.

00:29:58.202 --> 00:29:59.204
You know what I'm saying.

00:29:59.204 --> 00:29:59.686
But that's dope.

00:29:59.686 --> 00:30:01.673
That he don't, that's super dope.

00:30:02.125 --> 00:30:02.906
All right, yo.

00:30:02.906 --> 00:30:09.153
So you know, I was going through music and I've seen a lot of Joey Majors and I was like yo, have we interviewed him?

00:30:09.153 --> 00:30:10.671
And I was like no, we haven't.

00:30:10.671 --> 00:30:15.836
But then I went in our email and it was just so much music for this guy.

00:30:15.836 --> 00:30:19.554
Right, I'm talking about working with him because we don't know him yet.

00:30:19.805 --> 00:30:21.751
So Joey Majors is one of my God brothers.

00:30:21.751 --> 00:30:23.229
He, he, he.

00:30:23.229 --> 00:30:25.115
He's from he, from upstate New York.

00:30:25.115 --> 00:30:31.538
I met him in upstate New York long long time ago and dope MC, dope MC, always ready to work.

00:30:31.538 --> 00:30:34.032
He probably got seven, eight EPs done right now.

00:30:34.032 --> 00:30:43.555
But when I first, when I first jumped back here and started doing putting my music out on a consistent basis, he was one of those ones that was always be like hell.

00:30:43.555 --> 00:30:45.957
You know, put the music out, keep putting the music out.

00:30:45.957 --> 00:30:46.662
You know what I'm saying.

00:30:47.487 --> 00:30:50.548
And yeah, yeah, that's all he.

00:30:50.548 --> 00:30:53.075
Yeah, that's what he does, all he do.

00:30:53.075 --> 00:30:54.425
Yeah, he, he dropped.

00:30:54.425 --> 00:31:00.169
If he could drop an EP every other week, he would yeah, but yeah, now that's that's.

00:31:00.169 --> 00:31:04.192
That's that's like my brother man, you know, we got, we got business ventures together.

00:31:04.192 --> 00:31:12.607
Um, actually, like like the bars documentary Buffalo and bars stand for Buffalo, albany, rochester, syracuse and I went to each.

00:31:12.607 --> 00:31:20.536
I went to each spot and I tried to get the dopest people you know what I'm saying so that the A&Rs go see who to come and get next from upstate New York.

00:31:20.536 --> 00:31:22.670
Who do I need to interview from Albany, though?

00:31:22.971 --> 00:31:24.974
Yari Toro, yari Toro.

00:31:25.276 --> 00:31:25.476
Okay.

00:31:25.476 --> 00:31:26.365
Well, can you?

00:31:26.365 --> 00:31:28.270
I need you to put that together for me and DM me.

00:31:28.270 --> 00:31:30.015
Put us together in my DM, okay.

00:31:30.036 --> 00:31:30.236
I will.

00:31:30.625 --> 00:31:32.628
And I'm a coming interview him for that Cause.

00:31:32.710 --> 00:31:34.164
I really didn't get to interview her.

00:31:35.148 --> 00:31:35.892
Oh, it's a girl.

00:31:37.027 --> 00:31:37.788
Is she up next?

00:31:37.788 --> 00:31:38.509
Let me tell you.

00:31:39.069 --> 00:31:40.773
Okay, all right, that's even better.

00:31:40.773 --> 00:31:41.836
That's dope I got.

00:31:41.836 --> 00:31:47.009
I got Shane War on there, I got Armani Caesar, so it's dope to have a female from Albany.

00:31:47.148 --> 00:31:47.430
Thanks.

00:31:47.430 --> 00:31:48.833
Who's just talking about Armani Caesar?

00:31:48.833 --> 00:31:50.056
We want her on the show too.

00:31:50.436 --> 00:31:53.028
Oh yeah, I put a word in for you, no doubt.

00:31:53.028 --> 00:31:53.750
Yeah, oh yeah.

00:31:53.951 --> 00:31:57.477
Yeah Well, talk about, talk about that, talk about an upstate documentary.

00:31:57.477 --> 00:32:01.853
I feel like upstate is kind of been cracked wide open thanks to Griselda.

00:32:02.114 --> 00:32:03.115
Right, absolutely.

00:32:03.765 --> 00:32:09.575
Like all of a sudden, people are paying attention and it's like, oh my God, not only are there a ton of dope MCs up there, but y'all have your own sound.

00:32:09.575 --> 00:32:11.250
It's not sounding like New York city.

00:32:11.711 --> 00:32:11.992
Right.

00:32:12.525 --> 00:32:28.511
So you know so the boss documentary is something that, uh, I think it's something that, uh, me and actually me and Conway was working on it years ago and then I ended up losing the footage and losing the hard drive and, um, when I was in Vegas, me and Benny was out there shooting a video and he was like, nah, you should put the bars back.

00:32:28.511 --> 00:32:32.990
Now is the time to put the bars out, because now the light is on upstate, like you said, thanks to them.

00:32:32.990 --> 00:32:44.258
So, you know, I just started going back around, you know, getting everybody that was dope, young, old, new, veterans, that's from upstate, so we can show them what really upstate New York is about.

00:32:44.258 --> 00:32:46.431
And they just catch up here.

00:32:46.431 --> 00:32:49.648
Ain't up here milking cows, like I used to think that brown.

00:32:49.709 --> 00:32:51.713
That's the perception, buffalo.

00:32:52.375 --> 00:32:55.823
Buffalo what they're pulling them buff they're pulling on over there.

00:32:55.863 --> 00:32:56.825
They, they husking corn Like nah boy.

00:32:56.825 --> 00:33:09.239
It's the same thing going on in Buffalo as everywhere else, and it might even be on the larger scale.

00:33:09.239 --> 00:33:09.900
Yeah, that's it.

00:33:09.900 --> 00:33:10.840
It's so fun.

00:33:12.446 --> 00:33:24.888
I mean the crazy part that, because there'd be trains and all type of stuff, and if you're on route on one of those major you know Amtrak lines and stuff oh yeah, you're subject to that.

00:33:24.888 --> 00:33:25.912
Yeah, no doubt.

00:33:26.172 --> 00:33:27.255
Of course, yeah.

00:33:27.255 --> 00:33:38.480
So yeah, the documentary is just highlighting, man, that the producers, like I said, the radio DJs, whoever's the who's who's from that particular city.

00:33:38.480 --> 00:33:42.972
I went and interviewed them and we put it on a documentary and we turned it into a series.

00:33:43.153 --> 00:33:44.135
When is that coming out?

00:33:44.135 --> 00:33:45.852
Because now I'm intrigued and I want to watch it.

00:33:46.707 --> 00:33:48.012
So it's going to be out real soon.

00:33:48.012 --> 00:33:54.373
I'm just going back and forth negotiating a deal with a couple, a couple different networks, seeing who going to give me those M&M's.

00:33:54.373 --> 00:34:00.913
You know, whoever going to give me, whoever going to give me a bag of M&M's some two M's, three, four M's that's who going to get it.

00:34:01.144 --> 00:34:01.686
Hell, netflix.

00:34:01.686 --> 00:34:02.872
To cut the check, I'm ready.

00:34:03.928 --> 00:34:06.644
Netflix only pay one time, so you don't get nervous.

00:34:06.644 --> 00:34:08.652
There's no money with Netflix, you're going to get one.

00:34:09.005 --> 00:34:10.059
You don't get no money in streaming at all.

00:34:10.465 --> 00:34:13.289
Yeah, one check one time, and they don't want to.

00:34:13.349 --> 00:34:13.971
Over residuals.

00:34:13.971 --> 00:34:15.693
Yeah, that's why they're all striking.

00:34:16.135 --> 00:34:17.416
Yeah, I need some mailbox money.

00:34:17.597 --> 00:34:19.480
I hear that, oh my goodness.

00:34:19.480 --> 00:34:26.349
Yeah, I need some money while I'm resting to be but shout out to you for knowing the business and being smart enough to understand that, because not everyone does.

00:34:26.809 --> 00:34:40.393
Yeah, no doubt, yeah, yeah, Great God, thank God, this guy under this mask, man he got intelligent, so it seems like you've worked with so many people already.

00:34:40.554 --> 00:34:40.695
Yeah.

00:34:41.204 --> 00:34:45.552
Who are you looking forward to working with in the future, like artists and producers or whoever?

00:34:46.324 --> 00:34:55.552
I would say Nas, dj, premier, je, electronica I wouldn't mind the Jay Z verse, of course, but that's about it.

00:34:55.552 --> 00:35:01.574
Those three Alchemist as a producer I would definitely fill in Alchemist.

00:35:01.574 --> 00:35:06.931
I got a project that I'm working on right now with Havoc from MobbD, so that's coming out crazy.

00:35:06.931 --> 00:35:09.172
We got like five songs done, yeah.

00:35:10.626 --> 00:35:11.268
When's that coming?

00:35:11.369 --> 00:35:12.311
out.

00:35:12.311 --> 00:35:18.894
I don't know Havoc want to go to Japan and finish the project over there and kind of document it.

00:35:18.894 --> 00:35:20.137
I'm about to take the mask off.

00:35:20.137 --> 00:35:20.778
I'm getting hot.

00:35:23.074 --> 00:35:25.405
I was like yo, I was mad scared.

00:35:25.405 --> 00:35:30.128
I'm like I cannot deal with this Lady.

00:35:30.148 --> 00:35:31.271
D was about to pass out.

00:35:35.210 --> 00:35:35.992
Hey, you know what?

00:35:35.992 --> 00:35:37.911
I take it off for a Yacht Show.

00:35:37.911 --> 00:35:40.152
After I do it on stage, they hit me again.

00:35:40.152 --> 00:35:41.489
I would take it off for a Yacht Show.

00:35:43.650 --> 00:35:44.753
But I'm immediately.

00:35:46.146 --> 00:35:50.755
Now when you see me on stage D they say yo remember what you said, great God All right.

00:35:50.775 --> 00:35:52.159
So what's next for great God?

00:35:52.846 --> 00:35:56.815
Two weeks we put out another EP entitled self-entitled EP, Great God.

00:35:56.815 --> 00:36:06.731
And then after that I'm putting out the EP called Still Snowing, you know, as a prelude to, I mean, the extension of Snow Day, and then the Rock Marcy project.

00:36:06.731 --> 00:36:10.054
So you know, like four EPs coming up real soon, very soon.

00:36:10.054 --> 00:36:15.983
Visuals Snow Day the movie Star-Mob Godbrother Uncasso, legendary unconscious from diplomats.

00:36:15.983 --> 00:36:17.119
He's starting in the movie.

00:36:17.119 --> 00:36:25.065
So yeah, and the Snow Day movie is like a half hour movie that all of the videos kind of intertwine into a storyline.

00:36:25.065 --> 00:36:34.121
So that's, you know, something different than just going in front of the liquor store or going in front of my bins and shooting a video or you know what I'm saying.

00:36:34.175 --> 00:36:36.903
Like hanging out with this high end hooding.

00:36:37.175 --> 00:36:38.420
Yeah, this is like the best.

00:36:38.420 --> 00:36:39.661
It's like such a throwback.

00:36:39.661 --> 00:36:42.862
It gives me throwback vibes, but like modern throwback vibes.

00:36:42.862 --> 00:36:48.985
Right, it's like now, but like when we had you know, hype Williams videos and lyrics and like that.

00:36:48.985 --> 00:36:50.778
So it's like it's happening now.

00:36:50.800 --> 00:36:51.762
Yeah, the high end hooding.

00:36:51.762 --> 00:36:52.378
I like that.

00:36:52.378 --> 00:36:56.259
This is like upper echelon, yeah, upscale.

00:36:56.259 --> 00:37:00.077
Yeah, you gotta come up with a name for me and then we go.

00:37:00.077 --> 00:37:03.262
You know, we press the button, so put your name in cap one.

00:37:03.262 --> 00:37:04.579
Give us DM me the name.

00:37:04.639 --> 00:37:09.920
Oh listen, yeah, you gotta get with him on the name, and then you could do the whole merch line.

00:37:10.382 --> 00:37:11.164
That's right.

00:37:11.184 --> 00:37:16.585
Yeah, yeah, you got like the merch, that kind of rivals Griselda.

00:37:16.585 --> 00:37:22.347
So I feel like if you had like a high end hood merch line out of here, Out of here.

00:37:22.447 --> 00:37:23.168
I believe so too.

00:37:23.168 --> 00:37:28.661
Like the merch, that I'm doing right now is very, very it's very dope.

00:37:28.661 --> 00:37:36.056
It's simple, but you know, like you said, it's like upper echelon, like my hoodies, is like 500 GSM, like.

00:37:36.056 --> 00:37:41.974
So that's like the equivalent of a Balenciaga blank, not a champion blank, you know what I'm saying.

00:37:41.974 --> 00:37:49.224
Or a blank, or now I mean I'm really taking time and picking the right cloth, picking the right.

00:37:49.224 --> 00:37:51.215
You know everything for the, for the merch.

00:37:51.215 --> 00:37:55.501
So, yeah, it's different, it's default entity all the way around, all the way around.

00:37:55.641 --> 00:37:56.083
I love it.

00:37:56.083 --> 00:37:58.407
Yeah, exciting, that's really exciting.

00:37:58.407 --> 00:38:00.663
Well, is there anything else that you want our listeners to know?

00:38:00.954 --> 00:38:05.519
I want them to know that they can go to greatgodcom right now and you can get a brick.

00:38:05.519 --> 00:38:07.490
You know my album came in a brick, Did y'all?

00:38:07.510 --> 00:38:07.833
know that.

00:38:07.833 --> 00:38:09.099
Yes, I thought that was salt.

00:38:09.981 --> 00:38:12.822
I heard I'm not going to make it through the interview.

00:38:12.934 --> 00:38:15.961
I'm not like the power is that B-Man would disappear.

00:38:15.961 --> 00:38:19.043
When I said brick, the whole screen was just the solar system.

00:38:19.536 --> 00:38:24.623
Yo, the merch is like art pieces, like I was on there and I'm about to order vinyl and all that.

00:38:24.744 --> 00:38:36.123
Please, yes, yep, so order the vinyl to just DM me and we figure out the vinyl, the brick, the shirts, everything is a go right now, but the brick yeah, you had to buy the brick.

00:38:36.123 --> 00:38:40.922
You cut it open, you open the brick and you get the hard drive from inside of the brick.

00:38:41.043 --> 00:38:41.545
Yeah, I saw that.

00:38:41.545 --> 00:38:43.606
I want to do that Instagram page right.

00:38:43.827 --> 00:38:45.601
Say it again it was on your Instagram page.

00:38:45.635 --> 00:38:46.460
There was a video.

00:38:46.804 --> 00:38:48.315
Yeah, yep, everybody.

00:38:48.315 --> 00:38:58.722
So like a lot of people, a lot of, I just sit down like Tim Bricks, just like last week, everybody getting a bricks right now Can you say that it sounds so like yeah that's like you can get a brick.

00:38:58.835 --> 00:38:59.478
I was like, oh.

00:39:04.175 --> 00:39:06.748
Wait, but I want to know why do y'all even know what bricks is?

00:39:06.748 --> 00:39:07.735
Though this is what we that.

00:39:07.735 --> 00:39:08.679
Let's talk about that.

00:39:09.175 --> 00:39:14.820
Listen, could we be a hip hop focused show without understanding the culture and the game that goes behind it?

00:39:14.820 --> 00:39:16.559
Ok, listen.

00:39:16.759 --> 00:39:17.601
I'm in the military.

00:39:17.601 --> 00:39:18.224
We move bricks.

00:39:18.675 --> 00:39:20.418
But gangsters become rappers.

00:39:21.021 --> 00:39:21.501
That's right.

00:39:21.501 --> 00:39:22.123
That's right.

00:39:22.123 --> 00:39:24.494
Well, yeah, man, yeah, dm me both.

00:39:24.494 --> 00:39:32.286
Yeah, like, if y'all want to get a brick or any any merch, it's, it's easier for me to just to DM me and then I send it, because I'm sending out some stuff tomorrow.

00:39:32.286 --> 00:39:39.534
So sometimes my site gets so built up that it's been taking people two, three, four weeks to get to get a, to get a merchant.

00:39:39.574 --> 00:39:42.525
Now yeah, I mean tonight with my break.

00:39:43.177 --> 00:39:44.927
Now the bricks and the vinyls.

00:39:44.927 --> 00:39:46.414
Is is dope, I ain't going to lie.

00:39:46.534 --> 00:39:50.286
Give the people your social media and everything and where to find you.

00:39:50.454 --> 00:39:54.164
G R E A the number eight G A W D.

00:39:54.164 --> 00:39:58.320
As great God G R E A eight G A W D.

00:39:58.320 --> 00:40:03.240
Twitter, instagram, facebook only fans, all the above man.

00:40:03.876 --> 00:40:04.699
Only fans.

00:40:04.699 --> 00:40:07.842
That link to.

00:40:08.465 --> 00:40:09.088
Yeah, yeah.

00:40:09.088 --> 00:40:13.947
So now listen to the mask on the only fans link is dangerous.

00:40:13.947 --> 00:40:16.295
You might not want to get caught up on there.

00:40:16.295 --> 00:40:17.721
That is a rabbit hole.

00:40:17.721 --> 00:40:30.445
If you you got a blog on my only fans, we got some real time on your hands Like that, that right there, and make sure you got a few hundred on your card, because it just gets better and better and it's intriguing.

00:40:30.445 --> 00:40:31.266
It's different.

00:40:31.394 --> 00:40:32.701
That's where you should do the unmasking.

00:40:32.701 --> 00:40:34.181
Then you could charge people for it.

00:40:34.735 --> 00:40:40.976
Oh right, I actually only fans, so you want to run the account, because I can't even run all these accounts I got to get.

00:40:40.976 --> 00:40:41.981
I need a team.

00:40:43.197 --> 00:40:44.320
No, we do that on the side.
