10 | ROC_se0_ag1_m_03 | 12.7505 | [Mm.] | 13.0341 |
11 | ROC_int_01 | 12.7612 | [So], I usually start off though with questions about where you grew up. | 15.6106 |
12 | ROC_se0_ag1_m_03 | 15.8706 | Oh okay, | 16.3359 |
13 | ROC_int_01 | 16.3430 | [So-] and, you know, you're a born [native here, right?] | 19.1651 |
14 | ROC_se0_ag1_m_03 | 16.4895 | [alright.] | 16.9274 |
16 | | 18.5505 | [Yes], born and raised in Rochester, so, | 21.3903 |
17 | | 21.8380 | um, I grew up on, | 23.6658 |
19 | | 24.4305 | <laugh> | 25.1859 |

25 | | 27.7488 | [nineteenth] ward, Southwest area, uh, /RD-ADDRESS-5/ was | 31.6898 |
26 | ROC_int_01 | 27.7822 | [Okay.] | 28.1228 |
27 | ROC_se0_ag1_m_03 | 32.1506 | the main street. | 33.0341 |
29 | | 33.2090 | Um, | 33.9134 |
31 | | 34.1096 | to this day | 35.1167 |
33 | | 35.2729 | my grandmother is still there. | 36.9100 |
35 | | 37.3979 | Um, so technically, you can say that that- | 40.3977 |
37 | | 41.3117 | that | 41.5315 |
39 | | 41.6639 | house raised about a good three generations. | 44.7758 |
40 | ROC_int_01 | 44.9736 | Wow. | 45.4038 |
41 | ROC_se0_ag1_m_03 | 45.5079 | You know, and that goes for my little sisters and then my generation, | 49.8271 |
43 | | 50.1092 | and then | 50.7236 |
45 | | 51.3083 | my uncles. | 52.0833 |
47 | | 52.6488 | So, it's- it's- it's weird, but | 54.3252 |
49 | | 54.9159 | yeah, we've been there for a long, long time. | 57.8706 |
50 | ROC_int_01 | 57.9510 | Mm-hm. | 58.5476 |
51 | ROC_se0_ag1_m_03 | 58.7499 | You know, [I-] | 59.5268 |
52 | ROC_int_01 | 59.3172 | [S-] so, are you the first generation native to | 62.5191 |
53 | | 62.6090 | Rochester, or are your [parents-] | 64.4866 |
54 | ROC_se0_ag1_m_03 | 64.2847 | [My] parents, [my parents], um, I have- | 66.6280 |
55 | ROC_int_01 | 65.0572 | [Okay.] | 65.2944 |
56 | ROC_se0_ag1_m_03 | 66.7541 | I have- | 67.3575 |
58 | | 67.6080 | on my dad's side, | 68.5457 |
60 | | 68.7490 | I would say, | 69.2635 |
62 | | 69.6559 | um, | 70.3359 |
64 | | 70.8000 | I have | 71.5564 |
66 | | 72.3931 | three uncles, | 73.2772 |
68 | | 73.7357 | one aunty. | 74.6442 |
70 | | 75.0934 | Um, | 75.7836 |
72 | | 75.9396 | m- | 76.1570 |
74 | | 76.9042 | the first born son and /the/ | 78.3600 |
76 | | 78.6232 | m- first born lady, | 79.9700 |
78 | | 80.5389 | they was born in | 81.4716 |
80 | | 81.9065 | Mississippi. | 82.6145 |
82 | | 83.0155 | That's where my grandparents were from. | 84.3812 |
84 | | 84.9415 | Um, so when they came up here, that's when they had two more children, which is my father | 90.4960 |
86 | | 90.6070 | and then | 91.1346 |
88 | | 91.5116 | my uncle. | 91.9925 |
90 | | 92.4588 | So, | 93.0527 |
92 | | 94.5193 | they broke in, they broke everybody else in. | 96.5094 |
94 | | 96.7410 | Once they was born in Rochester they found the spot that was on /RD-ADDRESS-2/. | 100.5277 |
96 | | 101.0994 | And the rest is history, like | 103.2964 |
98 | | 103.6723 | /RD-ADDRESS-3/, that whole street is in the lineage as well | 107.4199 |
100 | | 107.4990 | cause of my m- mother. | 108.7981 |
102 | | 109.2457 | And my granny used to l- | 110.2745 |
104 | | 110.3667 | my granny and my grandfather used to live on /RD-ADDRESS-3/ | 113.2105 |
106 | | 114.0919 | when- | 114.6538 |
108 | | 115.1247 | on my mom's side when m- | 116.3510 |
110 | | 116.9665 | my grandma | 118.1905 |
112 | | 118.2969 | and my grandad on my dad's side moved on /RD-ADDRESS-2/. | 120.9670 |
114 | | 121.7136 | So everything was in close proximity. | 123.4371 |
116 | | 123.7018 | It's weird, | 124.2893 |
118 | | 124.5839 | but | 124.8777 |
120 | | 125.3176 | yeah, I guess it worked out for the best. | 126.9921 |
121 | ROC_int_01 | 127.0711 | [Yeah.] | 127.3749 |
122 | ROC_se0_ag1_m_03 | 127.1726 | [<laugh>] | 128.0925 |
123 | ROC_int_01 | 128.1039 | Family [nearby, that's cool.] | 129.7142 |
124 | ROC_se0_ag1_m_03 | 128.7945 | [Right.] | 129.5760 |
125 | | 129.7426 | Right. | 130.2638 |
126 | ROC_int_01 | 130.3052 | Um, how would you describe the neighborhood in terms of [people, places] maybe? | 135.4246 |
127 | ROC_se0_ag1_m_03 | 133.3824 | Um, | 134.4175 |
128 | | 136.0156 | From back then or now? | 137.4947 |
129 | ROC_int_01 | 137.7724 | Both. | 138.1506 |
130 | ROC_se0_ag1_m_03 | 138.3462 | Both, [okay I] can do that. Um, | 140.4957 |
131 | ROC_int_01 | 138.7140 | [Mm-hm.] | 139.2182 |
132 | ROC_se0_ag1_m_03 | 141.0366 | back then, was- | 143.1626 |
134 | | 143.7582 | I can honestly say, | 145.2223 |
136 | | 145.5870 | that was like the definition of what the word community is. | 148.8648 |
138 | | 149.3564 | Cause, you know, | 150.6327 |
140 | | 150.7379 | um, I wouldn't say that I was, you know, | 153.4666 |
142 | | 154.9961 | the greatest child. | 156.1561 |
144 | | 156.5617 | You know, I mean, I was a good kid. Me and my brother was a good- we was, uh, good kids, | 160.7889 |
146 | | 160.8669 | you know. | 161.2988 |
148 | | 162.4879 | However, we did get into some bad stuff, you know, | 165.4979 |
150 | | 166.1600 | playing hide and go seek, jumping on roofs and stuff and, you know, just- | 170.8784 |
152 | | 171.8665 | just getting into | 173.0020 |
154 | | 173.2258 | anything, you know, | 174.4619 |
156 | | 174.8022 | defying rules and everything. | 176.4246 |
158 | | 176.7319 | So, you know, | 177.5844 |
160 | | 177.6778 | when the situation pops up and you get whooped by the neighbor before you get whooped by your grandmama, | 182.4825 |
162 | | 182.7541 | and then after your grandmama, get whooped by your mama, | 185.2767 |
164 | | 185.6041 | that's when you know everybody's on one accord. | 187.8157 |
165 | ROC_int_01 | 187.8064 | [Mm-hm.] | 188.6915 |
166 | ROC_se0_ag1_m_03 | 188.2250 | [You know, so] like, that's- that's- that's the epitome of what | 191.4272 |
167 | | 192.0553 | I grew up in. | 192.8840 |
169 | | 193.2622 | You know, so I always have to watch what I do | 195.8686 |
171 | | 196.0246 | because | 196.7377 |
173 | | 197.7916 | there's always eyes on me, | 199.2583 |
175 | | 199.4095 | you know what I'm saying. | 200.2639 |
177 | | 200.6082 | And | 201.2237 |
179 | | 202.7370 | just to translate it towards now, you know, | 205.1843 |
181 | | 205.6226 | and it's not just my neighborhood, it's other neighborhoods as well, | 208.5982 |
183 | | 208.9368 | where | 209.4657 |
185 | | 210.5614 | neighbors do not | 211.7836 |
187 | | 212.5116 | care to speak to one another | 214.9321 |
189 | | 215.2392 | or to understand, | 216.5612 |
191 | | 217.7049 | hey, | 218.3862 |
193 | | 218.4748 | uh, I just moved in over here, you know, | 220.6989 |
195 | | 220.9973 | my name is such and such, I have a son, I have a daughter. | 223.9239 |
197 | | 224.1850 | Not a lot of people do that, | 225.4142 |
199 | | 225.5631 | you know, so that's one of the things I've picked up. | 227.7908 |
201 | | 228.2431 | Um, | 228.9036 |
203 | | 229.3652 | and growing up, | 230.2292 |
205 | | 230.4717 | I would say once every- every house that I've been in, I've | 233.7129 |
207 | | 234.6547 | vowed to know exactly who's around. | 237.6164 |
209 | | 237.8995 | Because, you know, right now, I'm | 239.8120 |
211 | | 239.9515 | engaged. I have- | 241.4099 |
212 | ROC_int_01 | 241.7633 | [Congrats.] | 242.8364 |
213 | ROC_se0_ag1_m_03 | 241.9659 | [uh], | 242.6324 |
214 | | 242.8570 | I have | 243.3439 |
216 | | 243.4857 | step kids. I have five step kids, | 245.3712 |
218 | | 245.7671 | you know, the | 246.2895 |
220 | | 246.6275 | two littlest ones, the twins, they are | 249.2860 |
222 | | 250.3406 | very vocal. | 251.4323 |
224 | | 251.7354 | They love playing outside, so if anybody has other kids around, you know, they would definitely make friends. | 258.1087 |
226 | | 258.6003 | So I'll h- have to know, okay if they are friends with them, I got to know where they live at. | 262.8690 |
228 | | 263.1535 | You know, I don't want nobody having no type of issues. If I can talk to their parents then that'd be wonderful. | 268.7010 |
230 | | 269.0857 | You know, and | 269.9286 |
232 | | 270.1291 | some- some | 271.2114 |
234 | | 271.4241 | of those kids want to cling on and do | 273.9152 |
236 | | 274.1903 | activities with our family, so I make sure that they /co-/ aks their parents, you know. | 278.8976 |
238 | | 279.1654 | Things like that, that's how it's supposed to be, but, | 281.5321 |
240 | | 281.6054 | you know, a lot of people doesn't- the- it- that doesn't happen | 284.6559 |
242 | | 285.0863 | nowdays. | 285.8668 |
244 | | 286.0039 | I think it's, uh, more of a | 288.5823 |
246 | | 288.7561 | thought like, | 289.4699 |
248 | | 291.3125 | you can't trust people, | 292.9079 |
249 | ROC_int_01 | 292.9588 | Mm. | 293.2992 |
250 | ROC_se0_ag1_m_03 | 293.6790 | I think. | 294.1467 |
252 | | 294.4136 | It's a- it's a- I don't know, it's a- it's a- | 296.6699 |
254 | | 297.7438 | hm, it's a hard- | 298.9344 |
256 | | 299.0313 | it's a- it's hard to touch on. | 300.4440 |
258 | | 301.1894 | Because yes, some people can't be trusted. | 303.8939 |
260 | | 304.0476 | However, if you don't try to see if you can trust 'em, you'll never know. | 308.3279 |
262 | | 309.3079 | It's just | 309.8546 |
264 | | 309.9798 | people | 310.3628 |
266 | | 310.4798 | don't try. | 310.9742 |
268 | | 311.2675 | <laugh> | 312.9643 |
269 | ROC_int_01 | 313.3308 | I get [it, yeah.] | 314.2111 |
270 | ROC_se0_ag1_m_03 | 313.6435 | [Yeah, people] don't try. It's- it's a- | 315.7543 |
271 | | 316.5029 | You know, I love my city, | 317.6029 |
273 | | 317.8848 | and so I kn- I know- I know what my city has been through. I was born when we were seven one six as the area code, so | 323.8501 |
275 | | 324.5234 | it- it's different now, | 326.2363 |
277 | | 326.5081 | you know. | 327.0966 |
279 | | 327.6604 | And | 328.0497 |
281 | | 328.2671 | now, I'm living on the east side, | 329.7291 |
283 | | 330.2176 | /?/ after growing up on the west side for so long. I'm still a west-sider, but I just know a little bit of the east side. | 335.5211 |
284 | ROC_int_01 | 335.6676 | /inaudible/ | 335.8621 |
285 | ROC_se0_ag1_m_03 | 335.8237 | [<laugh>] | 336.9568 |
286 | ROC_int_01 | 336.3579 | [Yeah, I was just] going to [ask if] you had lived anywhere [else like-] | 340.0413 |
287 | ROC_se0_ag1_m_03 | 337.4704 | [<laugh>] | 337.7824 |
289 | | 339.5686 | [Yes], um, | 340.6824 |
290 | | 341.1912 | actually, | 341.9792 |
292 | | 343.1264 | um, I've lived | 344.9324 |
294 | | 345.1406 | in other | 345.6617 |
296 | | 345.9386 | cities as well. | 346.8817 |
298 | | 347.0117 | Um, | 347.8205 |
300 | | 348.9822 | I would say, | 349.8663 |
302 | | 350.7336 | mostly, uh, in Rochester, I've lived on the west side | 353.6545 |
304 | | 354.0555 | up until my later years. | 355.4511 |
306 | | 355.9034 | Um, younger, I've lived in, uh, Georgia. I've lived in Palmdale, California. | 362.0408 |
308 | | 362.3954 | Um, | 363.0626 |
310 | | 364.5013 | went and visited a couple of other places, had | 366.5776 |
312 | | 366.7974 | like homes in other places, like, uh, Michigan and, um, | 370.2499 |
314 | | 370.6484 | yeah, Saginaw, Michigan, that's exactly where it's at. <laugh> And, uh, Harlem, New York, cause most of my family is from Harlem. | 376.5327 |
316 | | 377.0716 | Um, | 377.6398 |
318 | | 378.0441 | but other than that, | 379.0052 |
320 | | 379.9054 | yeah, I was- it was mostly here. | 382.2307 |
322 | | 382.4127 | Growing up was on the west side. | 384.0965 |
324 | | 384.3810 | Once I got towards, uh, high school actually, | 386.9363 |
326 | | 387.0616 | that's when | 387.6369 |
328 | | 388.0313 | I came- we came back from California. | 390.2979 |
330 | | 390.9274 | I did my ninth grade year in California. | 392.8525 |
332 | | 393.3980 | It kind of messed me up cause a lot of things. I've- | 396.1930 |
334 | | 397.6954 | Hm, | 398.0204 |
336 | | 398.3478 | their school's curriculum was very very different. | 401.3219 |
338 | | 402.7377 | And with a lot of stuff that was happening at that time, it was very hard to concentrate. | 406.7265 |
340 | | 408.0128 | So I bombed my ninth r- | 409.2678 |
342 | | 409.3426 | my ninth grade year. | 410.3379 |
344 | | 410.7108 | However, I've l- I learned | 412.5153 |
346 | | 412.9502 | so much spiritual wealth. | 416.6113 |
347 | ROC_int_01 | 416.7389 | Hm. | 417.1549 |
348 | ROC_se0_ag1_m_03 | 417.9338 | It's- it's- it's mindblowing. | 419.4697 |
350 | | 420.2857 | Even though I- even though I- | 421.5429 |
352 | | 421.7658 | my grades wasn't looking like it, I- I n- I came back home with a new mindset. | 425.9366 |
354 | | 426.5202 | Once I came back home, actually got a house right across the street from my mama- | 430.2067 |
356 | | 430.4118 | my grandmama, | 430.9989 |
358 | | 431.0911 | I'm sorry. <laugh> | 432.2163 |
360 | | 432.6079 | And, um, | 433.6269 |
362 | | 434.2145 | then we had moved to the | 435.4693 |
364 | | 435.6147 | w- | 435.8452 |
366 | | 436.0189 | east side | 436.6286 |
368 | | 437.0659 | for my twelfth grade year, um, in /RD-ADDRESS-3/ off of /RD-ADDRESS-2/. | 440.7923 |
370 | | 441.2130 | And which that was cool, | 442.3607 |
372 | | 442.5049 | you know, that was | 443.5060 |
374 | | 443.6738 | more of a sense of community too, because everybody knew everybody. I mean, | 447.6402 |
376 | | 447.8910 | once you're in a apartment complex, it's kind of hard not to talk to | 451.2159 |
378 | | 451.3435 | somebody else. | 452.1838 |
380 | | 452.6136 | Um, | 453.1029 |
382 | | 453.2613 | yet, still peop- | 454.0386 |
384 | | 454.3010 | people didn't talk to other people. | 455.5950 |
385 | ROC_int_01 | 455.7128 | Mm. | 456.1079 |
386 | ROC_se0_ag1_m_03 | 456.1471 | You know, but | 456.6864 |
388 | | 457.1580 | that was- that was a good environment. Um, | 459.7178 |
390 | | 460.0357 | and after /RD-ADDRESS-3/, | 461.6241 |
392 | | 462.0153 | I would say- | 462.8402 |
394 | | 463.4697 | oh yeah, after /RD-NAME-3/, I | 464.7504 |
396 | | 466.2505 | bombed college. | 467.3999 |
398 | | 467.8837 | <laugh> | 469.6085 |
400 | | 470.1521 | It was unfortunate. | 471.2359 |
402 | | 471.3659 | I was- I was- I was a lost puppy. | 473.4377 |
404 | | 473.9806 | Um, | 474.7562 |
406 | | 474.9614 | basically, I was trying to | 476.4535 |
408 | | 477.2725 | go for what I graduated in. I graduated from medicine | 481.0345 |
410 | | 481.2141 | engineering. | 481.8963 |
412 | | 482.4383 | So I tried- | 483.3145 |
414 | | 483.4587 | I wanted to go for, um, | 485.2642 |
416 | | 485.7511 | computer hardware engineering. | 487.2553 |
418 | | 487.5192 | And that's what I had signed up for when applying to /RD-SCHOOL-7/ University. | 491.7322 |
420 | | 492.1388 | I got accepted, | 492.9754 |
422 | | 493.2318 | yet when I- when my parents drove me down there, | 495.9827 |
424 | | 496.1818 | /and/, you know, moved me in, | 497.5816 |
426 | | 498.0153 | and I | 498.3579 |
428 | | 498.8023 | really got down to my major, | 500.7981 |
430 | | 502.0793 | it seemed that on their /centennieth/ | 503.8827 |
432 | | 504.1385 | year, | 504.6980 |
434 | | 504.9926 | basically on they hundredth | 506.1899 |
436 | | 506.3210 | year being there, | 507.3634 |
438 | | 508.3135 | they took out my major | 509.5517 |
440 | | 511.0251 | last minute. | 511.6751 |
442 | | 513.9372 | [So] | 514.8578 |
443 | ROC_int_01 | 514.4430 | [That's frustrating.] | 515.5516 |
444 | ROC_se0_ag1_m_03 | 515.8431 | it was either take computer information systems | 518.7559 |
446 | | 519.5690 | or come back next year when my parents already left me. | 521.9336 |
448 | | 523.1737 | [<laugh>] | 525.1104 |
449 | ROC_int_01 | 524.3871 | [Wow.] | 525.2050 |
450 | ROC_se0_ag1_m_03 | 525.8621 | So, you know. | 527.0898 |
452 | | 527.3183 | And then a whole bunch of stuff- | 528.3913 |
454 | | 528.5089 | whole bunch of other stuff happened | 530.0909 |
456 | | 531.0222 | that really got me lost in the sauce. I wasn't- I was- | 534.4473 |
458 | | 534.8939 | I was a person that | 535.9179 |
460 | | 536.3028 | cared more about family, than | 538.4155 |
462 | | 538.5503 | I would say social experiences. | 540.6288 |
464 | | 541.1204 | Um, when I was in high school, the Upward Bound is what had me | 544.8740 |
466 | | 546.1702 | actually express myself and learn how to socialize with other people. | 550.1933 |
468 | | 550.6483 | But before that I was just a homebody. | 552.7961 |
470 | | 552.9451 | I just knew I was a big brother. | 554.3143 |
472 | | 554.6365 | I'm a role model. | 555.5344 |
474 | | 555.7377 | I have to set an example. | 557.0050 |
476 | | 557.1048 | That's all I knew. | 557.9231 |
478 | | 558.6831 | Um, | 559.3419 |
480 | | 559.5830 | so once I go into college, oh my god, socializing | 562.5735 |
482 | | 562.9919 | became a priority | 564.8096 |
484 | | 565.1618 | instead of- | 566.0132 |
486 | | 566.3246 | you know, instead of something to | 568.1575 |
488 | | 568.6444 | just | 569.1432 |
490 | | 569.6617 | ease your mind on. | 570.7950 |
492 | | 570.9345 | You know, it became something that | 572.6087 |
494 | | 573.0237 | I felt that I needed | 574.3374 |
496 | | 574.6495 | to do. | 575.2360 |
498 | | 576.0144 | That's what I was down there for. | 577.5666 |
500 | | 577.9820 | You know, | 578.3011 |
502 | | 578.7041 | I did a lot of stuff in music, | 580.2304 |
504 | | 580.4845 | got into a couple of battles. | 582.0191 |
506 | | 582.5842 | One person that I have battled is actually the face of battle rap at this moment. | 586.9066 |
508 | | 587.0473 | His name is /RD-NAME-2/. | 588.0137 |
510 | | 589.1362 | Hey, | 589.4246 |
512 | | 589.5257 | it's cool. | 589.9142 |
514 | | 590.5069 | <laugh> It was- it was very cool. | 592.2429 |
516 | | 592.3540 | Um, | 592.9733 |
518 | | 593.3649 | so, | 593.8756 |
520 | | 594.0222 | you know, those experiences helped me, | 596.0850 |
522 | | 596.4514 | you know. | 596.8729 |
524 | | 598.2866 | And when I came back, that's when I moved back with my, uh, grandmother on /RD-ADDRESS-2/. | 602.8319 |
526 | | 603.2972 | Um, | 604.0815 |
528 | | 605.5831 | tried to do /RD-SCHOOL-3/ a little bit, | 607.2497 |
530 | | 607.8198 | just to figure out | 608.7878 |
532 | | 608.9154 | what I really wanted to do. | 610.1505 |
534 | | 610.5851 | Then I realized I just really wanted to do music, | 612.7600 |
536 | | 613.0637 | and | 613.7850 |
538 | | 614.3066 | what I wanna do with music | 615.8096 |
540 | | 616.3320 | is not | 616.8395 |
542 | | 617.1995 | in Rochester. | 618.1789 |
544 | | 618.4541 | However, | 619.2106 |
546 | | 620.4355 | now I'm just focused on | 621.9016 |
548 | | 622.9176 | having a project. | 624.0308 |
550 | | 624.5928 | Like, | 624.9268 |
552 | | 625.7318 | right now, | 626.4606 |
554 | | 627.5494 | all of these life lessons that I'm saying, it's like | 629.9209 |
556 | | 630.3758 | my project is called /RD-WORK-2/. | 631.9015 |
558 | | 632.7194 | You know, | 633.0917 |
560 | | 633.2098 | it kind of- | 633.7559 |
562 | | 633.9402 | I'm a tall guy, so it kind of r- | 635.2568 |
564 | | 635.6295 | relates to me | 636.5959 |
566 | | 637.0033 | growing up | 637.5998 |
568 | | 638.1990 | from a kid to an adult. | 639.3670 |
570 | | 640.2794 | But it's also me growing up into knowing myself, | 643.9070 |
572 | | 644.1268 | on top of that | 644.9891 |
574 | | 646.0033 | seeing how I've grown as a artist and how my music sounds differently. | 650.9658 |
576 | | 651.3785 | Uh, I realize how powerful | 653.9179 |
578 | | 654.5325 | words are. | 655.5318 |
580 | | 655.6954 | So, | 656.1141 |
582 | | 656.7112 | with those words, it's kind of like | 658.4057 |
584 | | 658.9638 | they're divine. | 659.8011 |
586 | | 660.6190 | So whatever you say, you bring to yourself. | 662.9431 |
588 | | 663.1232 | When I first started writing, I was a very violent person. | 666.0908 |
590 | | 666.6088 | And then I brought that | 667.6458 |
592 | | 668.0980 | to my actual life | 669.4555 |
594 | | 669.9660 | after saying it for so long, so I had to change my approach, my whole entire approach | 674.7227 |
596 | | 675.2616 | just to be more light. | 676.3712 |
598 | | 677.1220 | You know, [so], | 677.8815 |
599 | ROC_int_01 | 677.6971 | [Mm-hm.] | 678.3429 |
600 | ROC_se0_ag1_m_03 | 679.4225 | now I'm here. | 680.0939 |
602 | | 680.2043 | [<laugh>] | 681.3361 |
603 | ROC_int_01 | 680.7381 | [<laugh>] | 681.3834 |
604 | ROC_se0_ag1_m_03 | 681.7014 | Now I'm here. Um, I live on the east side now, | 684.7675 |
606 | | 685.2395 | uh, | 685.7680 |
608 | | 685.8487 | on /RD-ADDRESS-1/ Street | 686.7602 |
610 | | 687.0312 | off of /RD-ADDRESS-2/. | 687.8892 |
612 | | 688.0570 | Um, | 688.6005 |
614 | | 690.5785 | /RD-ADDRESS-2/ is not bad to me, | 692.0544 |
616 | | 692.1808 | you know. Um, | 693.2095 |
618 | | 693.4901 | I'm actually volunteering for, | 695.3357 |
620 | | 695.4330 | uh, | 695.9271 |
622 | | 696.4348 | outreach | 697.1551 |
624 | | 697.2402 | uh, /RD-WORK-3/, | 698.3557 |
626 | | 698.4360 | [um,] | 699.0969 |
627 | ROC_int_01 | 698.7222 | [That's great.] | 699.2795 |
628 | ROC_se0_ag1_m_03 | 699.4995 | /RD-WORK-10/, they're called /RD-WORK-1/, uh, /RD-WORK-3/. | 703.1726 |
630 | | 703.6229 | Um, basically, they- | 705.4591 |
632 | | 706.0177 | it's- it's- it's pretty- it's pretty heavy what they do, | 709.0338 |
634 | | 709.3957 | and it's very much needed. Like if | 711.8114 |
636 | | 712.0714 | anything in the- | 713.0987 |
638 | | 714.0250 | uh, | 714.7678 |
640 | | 715.6151 | the one four six two one area code, | 717.6885 |
642 | | 717.8634 | if anything happens like a shooting or anything like that, | 720.8900 |
644 | | 721.7928 | w- | 721.9535 |
646 | | 722.2939 | what | 722.6627 |
648 | | 722.8866 | they do and what I volunteer with them | 724.8688 |
650 | | 725.0709 | is | 725.5525 |
652 | | 725.9426 | going around. They do calls of action. | 728.2850 |
654 | | 728.6830 | So, | 729.1571 |
656 | | 729.3779 | if there was a shooting at a specific spot | 731.4296 |
658 | | 732.2900 | in the | 732.5787 |
660 | | 732.9188 | two one area, | 733.8343 |
662 | | 734.7538 | they go to that area, pass out flyers, two days afterwards, that's when they gather there, just to show people, | 740.7582 |
664 | | 741.2035 | you know, | 741.6782 |
666 | | 742.0332 | that | 742.4365 |
668 | | 742.7914 | there's another way. | 744.0016 |
670 | | 744.8526 | You know, they got- | 746.1686 |
672 | | 746.3267 | I got into it | 747.2928 |
674 | | 747.4769 | cause, you know, I was looking at | 749.3865 |
676 | | 749.5758 | their criteria cause they look for kids, kids that's at high risk of- | 753.6729 |
678 | | 754.0558 | of gang violence, of- of- of- uh, j- basically like street life. | 758.3492 |
680 | | 758.8267 | You know, and | 759.8731 |
682 | | 760.2778 | just letting them know, lay- look, | 762.0496 |

686 | | 764.8111 | There's- there's people that's here for you. Um, | 767.2994 |
688 | | 769.3365 | they- | 770.1711 |
690 | | 771.6067 | they make | 772.5028 |
692 | | 773.3364 | my view on a neighborhood | 775.2266 |
694 | | 775.5645 | very, very different. | 776.9827 |
695 | ROC_int_01 | 777.1813 | Hm. | 777.5841 |
696 | ROC_se0_ag1_m_03 | 777.9188 | You know what I mean, /cause/ it's like like I care more. | 780.3807 |
697 | ROC_int_01 | 780.7289 | [Mm.] | 780.9641 |
698 | ROC_se0_ag1_m_03 | 780.8081 | [I] care way more now. | 782.4120 |
699 | | 782.8467 | And it's not just for what's happening on my street. | 785.4993 |
701 | | 785.6246 | It's like that whole entire area. | 787.8371 |
703 | | 788.3211 | You know, sometimes | 789.7591 |
705 | | 790.1431 | I'm- there may be something going on, on St. Paul, | 793.3142 |
707 | | 793.6782 | or it may be something going on near the Conkey area or | 797.7995 |
709 | | 798.1538 | something going on on Hudson, on Clinton. | 801.6290 |
711 | | 801.8901 | It's- it's- i- anywhere around those areas, | 804.2808 |
713 | | 804.5422 | uh, | 805.0318 |
715 | | 805.5864 | we're out there, | 806.6306 |
717 | | 806.8114 | you know, | 807.3213 |
719 | | 807.8062 | just showing people look, | 808.9071 |
721 | | 809.1116 | if you know somebody that's been through situations, just | 811.8809 |
723 | | 812.2828 | tell him | 812.9613 |
725 | | 813.2850 | or her | 813.7203 |
727 | | 813.8373 | to call us. | 814.6430 |
729 | | 815.2258 | You know, that's- that's all that we're saying, | 817.1127 |
731 | | 817.5976 | and | 817.9146 |
733 | | 818.6421 | it feels good | 819.6027 |
735 | | 820.7424 | to know that people | 822.2221 |
737 | | 823.7255 | will do exactly what you said. Like, | 826.4541 |
739 | | 827.0365 | okay, I got a prospect for you. | 828.8840 |
741 | | 829.3898 | I'll let you know. | 830.3177 |
743 | | 830.8213 | It may take a while, I'm not even telling 'em to rush. I'm saying do it at your own pace. | 834.8414 |
745 | | 835.3000 | But | 835.6289 |
747 | | 835.8484 | it's- it's- it's very beautiful | 838.0443 |
749 | | 838.2701 | to- | 838.7561 |
751 | | 839.4610 | to see that side and for me to be on that | 841.9643 |
753 | | 842.3353 | side of the fence. | 843.3234 |
755 | | 843.6740 | I've never | 844.2554 |
757 | | 844.8890 | done really volunteer work like that. | 846.9153 |
759 | | 847.4891 | And on top of that I've never seen a program quite like this. | 850.9221 |
761 | | 851.3334 | So, you know, that- it's very, | 853.4674 |
763 | | 853.6593 | very | 854.3235 |
765 | | 854.9338 | comforting. | 855.6665 |
767 | | 856.3122 | I took my little kids, the little twins, /I/ took them | 859.1793 |
769 | | 859.4927 | to one of the- uh, one of the, uh, outreaches. | 862.1156 |
771 | | 862.4593 | You know, and they was scared at first, cause /?/ they- they don't like people. | 865.8746 |
773 | | 866.3468 | <laugh> They don't like interacting with people. | 868.7439 |
775 | | 869.2444 | Too many people gets them nervous. | 870.7497 |
777 | | 871.1137 | However, when they have flyers in they hand, and I told them, you know, /?/ hey just- just give it to that person, yeah give it to that person. | 877.3690 |
779 | | 878.0541 | They loved it. | 878.8236 |

785 | ROC_se0_ag1_m_03 | 885.1495 | And | 885.4928 |
786 | | 885.9076 | my only answer is, I hope we don't have to. | 888.4099 |
787 | ROC_int_01 | 888.7360 | Mm. | 889.0339 |
788 | ROC_se0_ag1_m_03 | 889.0463 | You know what I'm saying? That's- it's- it's deep. | 891.0908 |
790 | | 891.2716 | It's really deep, | 892.1791 |
792 | | 892.3764 | but yeah, that- | 893.0980 |
794 | | 894.1451 | the- where- where I'm living at, it really- this one is really reminding me of where I used to be | 899.1858 |
796 | | 899.3306 | on /RD-ADDRESS-2/ m- where I- where I was growing up. | 901.7875 |
798 | | 902.4040 | Cause I know every one of the- | 904.2333 |
800 | | 904.8718 | uh, | 905.4580 |
802 | | 905.8190 | every one of the people that | 907.1409 |
804 | | 907.6468 | my kids come across. | 908.9051 |
806 | | 909.6042 | You know, I know their parents, I know | 911.8645 |
808 | | 912.6966 | a little bit about them. | 913.9419 |
810 | | 914.1062 | You know what I'm saying, so it's like it's a community base where I'm at. | 917.4485 |
812 | | 917.8886 | [<laugh>] | 918.7090 |
813 | ROC_int_01 | 918.5075 | [Yeah], that's great. | 919.2586 |
814 | ROC_se0_ag1_m_03 | 919.2659 | And that makes it awesome. That makes- that makes it easy | 922.1765 |
816 | | 922.8101 | for sit- certain situations, you know. Even if the kids fight or whatever, | 926.4884 |
818 | | 927.0328 | you know what I'm saying. | 927.9215 |
820 | | 929.1709 | The parents can stand right next to each other. | 931.0723 |
822 | | 931.9068 | Oh, he hit you, hit him back. | 933.4706 |
824 | | 933.7120 | <laugh> You know, | 935.0774 |
826 | | 935.3715 | just regular- regular stuff that helps a kid grow, you know what I'm saying? And | 939.9167 |
828 | | 940.4347 | it's- it's dope | 941.3764 |
830 | | 941.7735 | that parents is on one accord | 943.2672 |
832 | | 943.4137 | doing that. | 944.1734 |
834 | | 945.1409 | It- it's f- it's- it's great. | 946.9722 |
836 | | 947.0979 | [<laugh>] | 947.8252 |
837 | ROC_int_01 | 947.5499 | [Mm-hm.] | 947.9565 |
838 | ROC_se0_ag1_m_03 | 948.1686 | It's very great, so, it's a- it's a different dynamic for me now. | 951.7373 |
840 | | 952.4963 | I'm just looking at everything differently. | 954.2980 |
842 | | 954.8939 | [It's- it's-] it's weird. | 956.2385 |
843 | ROC_int_01 | 955.0312 | [Yeah.] | 955.3619 |
844 | ROC_se0_ag1_m_03 | 956.8356 | It's weird | 957.4722 |
846 | | 958.0235 | putting all that stuff together, | 959.3210 |
848 | | 959.4971 | but it's a eye opener | 960.9146 |
850 | | 961.8211 | at the same time, | 962.9059 |
852 | | 963.2247 | you know. | 963.7631 |
854 | | 965.8241 | So I can't be afraid of weirdness. [<laugh>] | 968.6522 |
855 | ROC_int_01 | 968.4993 | [Yes], | 969.0812 |
856 | ROC_se0_ag1_m_03 | 969.1257 | You [can't be afraid] of weirdness, it's okay though. | 971.5869 |
857 | ROC_int_01 | 969.2561 | [definitely.] | 969.9688 |
858 | ROC_se0_ag1_m_03 | 971.7028 | <laugh> | 972.4590 |
859 | ROC_int_01 | 972.5930 | No, I completely agree. | 974.0640 |
861 | | 974.4281 | Um, | 974.9397 |
863 | | 975.1950 | I wanted to ask you- | 976.8170 |
864 | ROC_se0_ag1_m_03 | 976.8371 | [Mm-hm.] | 977.3015 |
865 | ROC_int_01 | 977.0202 | [you said] you're engaged. | 978.3203 |
866 | ROC_se0_ag1_m_03 | 978.2967 | [Yes.] | 979.0015 |
867 | ROC_int_01 | 978.6871 | [How'd you] meet your [fiancee?] | 980.6986 |
868 | ROC_se0_ag1_m_03 | 979.9977 | [Oh], um, | 981.4574 |
869 | | 982.0547 | well, I met her, uh, through | 984.6799 |
871 | | 985.0180 | a job. | 985.7687 |
873 | | 986.1006 | We both worked at the same job | 987.5881 |
875 | | 987.8632 | for a while. | 988.4274 |
877 | | 988.9776 | Um, | 989.7203 |
879 | | 989.8609 | we- | 990.5229 |
881 | | 991.2415 | I was a | 992.0366 |
883 | | 992.3630 | artist, | 993.0452 |
885 | | 993.5580 | and | 994.2247 |
887 | | 994.3839 | she loves music, so at the time, she was actually, | 997.6790 |
889 | | 998.2654 | um, trying to | 999.7576 |
891 | | 999.9348 | manage a little group. | 1001.4807 |
893 | | 1002.0102 | Um, | 1002.7157 |
895 | | 1003.3014 | and | 1004.0347 |
897 | | 1004.8694 | she loves music to the point where she went and bought | 1007.5039 |
899 | | 1008.4545 | a- | 1008.5355 |
901 | | 1008.6821 | a whole bunch of studio equipment, don't know how to work it, | 1012.0109 |
903 | | 1012.6497 | don't know nothing about it. | 1014.1663 |
905 | | 1014.5965 | But she purchased it, so | 1016.7009 |
907 | | 1016.8988 | there can be a outlet to make music. | 1018.9106 |
909 | | 1019.4835 | You know, that type of dedication. | 1021.2515 |
911 | | 1021.4045 | And, um, | 1022.1133 |
913 | | 1022.2811 | we would just- | 1022.8636 |
915 | | 1023.0738 | you know, one day | 1023.9022 |
917 | | 1024.4477 | we started talking and, you know, | 1026.6984 |
919 | | 1027.3773 | I would say talking about plans. She's a challenger. | 1029.6675 |
921 | | 1030.0549 | Her name is /RD-NAME-3/. | 1030.8381 |
923 | | 1030.9362 | <laugh> She's- she's a challenger. | 1032.6673 |
925 | | 1033.1991 | Um, so, you know, | 1034.6103 |
927 | | 1036.0955 | She said, you need to stop playing, and you need to | 1038.3647 |
929 | | 1038.5727 | start doing these shows with us. | 1040.2540 |
931 | | 1041.0688 | So, I | 1041.4161 |
933 | | 1041.6174 | did | 1042.0419 |
935 | | 1042.5385 | w- we started doing more shows and more shows. | 1045.2190 |
937 | | 1046.0944 | Um, | 1046.8035 |
939 | | 1047.6309 | and it was real deep. | 1048.6467 |
941 | | 1048.7755 | It was very very deep, because while we was talking, | 1051.6397 |
943 | | 1053.5562 | it was like | 1054.1131 |
945 | | 1056.6281 | she would allow me to | 1058.8366 |
947 | | 1060.2029 | focus on my artistry, while she focused on the business part. | 1063.8720 |
949 | | 1064.3213 | Cause with | 1064.8647 |
951 | | 1065.0680 | most people in the music industry, | 1067.7298 |
953 | | 1068.1860 | and a lot of people would say it, | 1069.5121 |
955 | | 1071.0825 | when you're not able to focus solely on | 1073.7081 |
957 | | 1074.1884 | the artistry, | 1074.9898 |
959 | | 1075.6339 | getting into the business will make you lose | 1077.9901 |
961 | | 1078.3023 | the love for the artistry, | 1079.7535 |
963 | | 1080.2546 | you know. | 1080.7067 |
964 | ROC_int_01 | 1080.8038 | Mm-hm. | 1081.2057 |
965 | ROC_se0_ag1_m_03 | 1081.2429 | And I was doing a lot of things in my head, | 1084.6189 |
967 | | 1084.9187 | and trying to get myself out there, | 1087.0403 |
969 | | 1087.3015 | mixing stuff, trying to know the business, even though you must know the business. | 1090.9593 |
971 | | 1091.2785 | You know what I mean, you can't let it really like | 1093.4798 |
973 | | 1094.1181 | consume | 1094.9812 |
975 | | 1095.1029 | your whole outlook on how you do your music. | 1097.9189 |
977 | | 1098.5382 | You know, you gotta- that has to be authentic still. | 1101.0318 |
979 | | 1102.2513 | But, | 1102.6331 |
981 | | 1102.8115 | we was just talking and, um, | 1104.6970 |
983 | | 1106.7032 | everything just fell into line, like everything just- | 1109.5856 |
985 | | 1110.3109 | just | 1110.8450 |
987 | | 1111.8909 | became- | 1112.8920 |
989 | | 1113.9604 | I don't know, everything happens for a reason. | 1115.7649 |
991 | | 1116.0639 | After doing | 1116.8884 |
993 | | 1117.3071 | countless amount of shows, like, uh, d- /just/ back to back shows. I would say like two thousand- | 1123.0431 |
995 | | 1123.4000 | two thousand and fourteen, | 1124.8629 |
997 | | 1125.9307 | I went from, | 1127.2083 |
999 | | 1128.6492 | mm, people not really knowing who I am, | 1131.3830 |
1001 | | 1132.3838 | you know, performing at /RD-WORK-5/ | 1134.8881 |
1003 | | 1135.0735 | <laugh> on /RD-ADDRESS-1/ Street, | 1136.4075 |
1005 | | 1136.8887 | you know, would perform in there. | 1138.7942 |
1007 | | 1139.5309 | And by the end of that year, | 1141.2908 |
1009 | | 1141.6264 | coming into two thousand and fifteen, | 1143.9334 |
1011 | | 1145.3184 | I got | 1145.6740 |
1013 | | 1146.4721 | to the Roc Awards, | 1147.5074 |
1014 | ROC_int_01 | 1147.8060 | Mm. | 1148.1653 |
1015 | ROC_se0_ag1_m_03 | 1148.1984 | and was able to perform | 1149.4788 |
1017 | | 1149.5686 | at the Roc Awards. | 1150.5622 |
1019 | | 1151.1767 | And that was with | 1151.8608 |
1021 | | 1152.3877 | my brother-in-law | 1153.3125 |
1023 | | 1153.4254 | <laugh> | 1154.1945 |
1025 | | 1154.6128 | who | 1155.0181 |
1027 | | 1155.4342 | /RD-NAME-3/ had under her roof, | 1156.8553 |
1029 | | 1157.1189 | you know what I'm saying, and, | 1158.4779 |
1031 | | 1158.9523 | uh, good friend name, uh, /RD-NAME-2/. | 1161.3817 |
1033 | | 1161.8795 | /?/ we call him /RD-NAME-2/. <laugh> | 1163.7124 |
1035 | | 1164.0373 | He's a singer. Um, | 1165.4014 |
1037 | | 1165.8789 | my brother-in-law, his- /RD-NAME-1/, | 1167.6092 |
1039 | | 1167.9551 | he's a singer too, but he's a rapper and a singer, it's weird. | 1171.1698 |
1041 | | 1171.9196 | But, yeah, they- they know this new style of music. | 1174.5949 |
1042 | ROC_int_01 | 1174.7252 | [Yeah.] | 1175.4214 |
1043 | ROC_se0_ag1_m_03 | 1174.9935 | [They- they the] one that broke me into this new style of music. | 1177.4824 |
1044 | | 1177.9302 | Um, but | 1178.7043 |
1046 | | 1179.6592 | everything fell into line. What they had going was, | 1182.7084 |
1048 | | 1183.1320 | it was just /RD-NAME-1/ and /RD-NAME-2/, | 1184.9004 |
1050 | | 1185.1726 | and /RD-NAME-3/ was their manager. | 1187.2882 |
1052 | | 1187.9609 | Um, | 1188.8655 |
1054 | | 1190.0086 | basically, | 1190.8906 |
1056 | | 1191.3473 | there was a group called /RD-WORK-3/, | 1193.2287 |
1058 | | 1193.4178 | /RD-WORK-3/. | 1194.4381 |
1060 | | 1195.1493 | Um, | 1195.9621 |
1062 | | 1196.9028 | and it just- it- it fit so perfectly because | 1199.6684 |
1064 | | 1202.1512 | what | 1202.5266 |
1066 | | 1202.8778 | I would say a label, | 1203.8814 |
1068 | | 1204.0894 | it's kind of not a label, it's more of a family, | 1206.1815 |
1070 | | 1206.6564 | cause it's family oriented. | 1207.9148 |
1072 | | 1208.4443 | Um, | 1209.0167 |
1074 | | 1209.1443 | my older cousin, his name is- | 1210.8047 |
1076 | | 1211.1629 | his | 1211.4435 |
1078 | | 1211.5642 | artist name is /RD-NAME-1/. | 1212.6076 |
1080 | | 1212.9734 | /RD-NAME-7/. | 1214.2755 |
1082 | | 1215.0962 | Um, | 1215.7710 |
1084 | | 1217.1845 | he has a older brother that passed away. | 1219.4974 |
1086 | | 1219.9559 | His nickname was /RD-NAME-3/, | 1221.2200 |
1088 | | 1221.5668 | but | 1221.9049 |
1090 | | 1222.3307 | his real name was /RD-NAME-2/. | 1223.6292 |
1092 | | 1225.2090 | So, | 1225.7050 |
1094 | | 1225.9784 | uh, /RD-NAME-3/ had a lot of- | 1228.4048 |
1096 | | 1229.1517 | he had kids. | 1230.1303 |
1098 | | 1230.6228 | You know what I'm saying, he has | 1232.0185 |
1100 | | 1232.2301 | a lot of things that he wanted to do before he passed. | 1235.3644 |
1102 | | 1236.0082 | So basically, /RD-NAME-3/ entertainment is to | 1239.6763 |
1104 | | 1240.7262 | show | 1241.6327 |
1106 | | 1242.7079 | family and to show | 1244.2047 |
1108 | | 1244.4175 | basically his kids that | 1245.9367 |
1110 | | 1246.5716 | there is another route, | 1247.8244 |
1112 | | 1248.2664 | you know what I'm saying. | 1249.2278 |
1114 | | 1249.5439 | And mind you, his k- his- his daughter is an extremely talented | 1254.7645 |
1116 | | 1255.1339 | dancer, | 1255.8430 |
1118 | | 1256.2977 | choreographer. Like, she is awesome. | 1258.5731 |
1120 | | 1259.4935 | Awesome. | 1259.9031 |
1122 | | 1260.5629 | You know, so it's like having a- | 1262.2289 |
1124 | | 1262.3613 | trying to build a avenue where | 1264.0086 |
1126 | | 1264.5310 | they can do what they really feel like doing. | 1267.2024 |
1128 | | 1267.6326 | You know what I mean, they can do what, | 1269.3889 |
1130 | | 1270.0252 | you know, necessarily /RD-NAME-3/ didn't get to do, | 1272.7494 |
1132 | | 1273.5357 | you know. | 1274.0605 |
1134 | | 1274.3252 | And | 1274.9163 |
1136 | | 1275.3387 | it's weird. When /RD-NAME-3/ passed, | 1277.2117 |
1138 | | 1277.6585 | that's when I started writing. | 1278.8464 |
1140 | | 1279.5003 | So that's why this is like, | 1280.8172 |
1142 | | 1281.4626 | really, really deep for me, | 1282.8932 |
1144 | | 1283.0776 | actually | 1283.7649 |
1146 | | 1283.9776 | saying /RD-NAME-3/ ENT. | 1285.4554 |
1148 | | 1285.5877 | That's- | 1285.9305 |
1150 | | 1286.0179 | that's- | 1286.4008 |
1152 | | 1287.0915 | that's actually my blood cousin. | 1288.6823 |
1154 | | 1289.4535 | On top of that, | 1290.3657 |
1156 | | 1290.5406 | I'm representing my family. | 1292.0581 |

1164 | | 1297.0183 | and how much talent that was, | 1298.8114 |
1166 | | 1299.1470 | and then we started making music together, | 1301.3733 |
1168 | | 1301.6999 | and that started being a whole different dynamic, | 1303.9076 |
1170 | | 1305.7190 | the family just got | 1306.6249 |
1172 | | 1306.7490 | bigger. | 1307.1343 |

1174 | ROC_se0_ag1_m_03 | 1307.6705 | <laugh> [The family] just got bigger. So like, | 1310.0628 |
1175 | ROC_int_01 | 1308.2813 | [Yeah.] | 1308.7021 |
1176 | ROC_se0_ag1_m_03 | 1312.0122 | a lot of great things happened | 1314.0450 |
1178 | | 1314.7173 | because of it, | 1315.3934 |
1180 | | 1315.6050 | you know. | 1316.2095 |
1182 | | 1316.4427 | A lot of great things, like | 1318.5180 |
1184 | | 1318.9368 | it's- it's- | 1319.5734 |
1186 | | 1319.8946 | it's almost hard to speak on how many things happened just because of it. | 1324.3472 |
1187 | ROC_int_01 | 1324.5948 | [Hm.] | 1324.8336 |
1188 | ROC_se0_ag1_m_03 | 1324.7302 | [But], | 1325.1424 |
1189 | | 1325.8360 | it's beautiful- it was beautiful how things come together like that, | 1328.7412 |
1191 | | 1329.0012 | you know. | 1329.4265 |
1193 | | 1330.2958 | So now, yeah | 1331.1373 |
1195 | | 1331.6841 | it's /RD-NAME-3/ | 1332.4326 |
1197 | | 1333.0240 | /RD-WORK-3/. | 1333.6395 |

1213 | | 1343.7121 | They're- they're awesome, | 1344.8451 |
1215 | | 1345.2710 | all of 'em, | 1345.8058 |
1217 | | 1345.9121 | musically inclined, | 1346.9075 |
1219 | | 1347.0552 | it's weird. | 1347.8559 |
1221 | | 1348.0072 | And I /was/ listening to 'em, | 1349.2415 |
1223 | | 1349.5228 | they been making music ever since I was like, | 1351.6726 |
1225 | | 1352.2432 | ten. | 1352.7893 |
1227 | | 1353.8434 | My | 1354.0791 |
1229 | | 1354.2303 | cousin is like | 1354.8550 |
1231 | | 1355.3469 | /?/ | 1355.6103 |
1233 | | 1355.9811 | he's almost thirty. | 1356.9741 |
1235 | | 1357.5756 | Um, | 1358.2409 |
1237 | | 1358.3545 | when he was fifteen, that's when he started writing. | 1360.5498 |
1239 | | 1360.9044 | So, | 1361.7325 |
1241 | | 1362.8942 | yeah, that's when they really started going to | 1365.3207 |
1243 | | 1366.0933 | shows. They opened up for Chris Brown, Lil Wayne, a lot of people. | 1370.5406 |
1245 | | 1371.0418 | And I was still young, <laugh> | 1373.7378 |
1247 | | 1374.0584 | very young. | 1375.1413 |
1249 | | 1375.6330 | So | 1376.0301 |
1251 | | 1376.4886 | ten years later- | 1377.5665 |
1253 | | 1378.2226 | well, I would say five years later, | 1379.8223 |
1255 | | 1380.2005 | m- my cousin got me on my first song with him. | 1382.3163 |
1257 | | 1383.1269 | Realized my voice | 1384.3088 |
1259 | | 1384.5914 | and my technique, | 1385.4080 |
1261 | | 1385.7768 | and said, yo you need to keep doing this. | 1387.6661 |
1263 | | 1389.5571 | Years later, | 1390.5640 |
1265 | | 1390.9005 | now I really understand music, | 1392.7812 |
1267 | | 1393.1251 | and I understand | 1394.1538 |
1269 | | 1394.6021 | how different sounds | 1396.1007 |
1271 | | 1396.4942 | must | 1397.2495 |
1273 | | 1398.1060 | be used. | 1399.1649 |
1274 | ROC_int_01 | 1399.4533 | [Mm-hm.] | 1399.8363 |
1275 | ROC_se0_ag1_m_03 | 1399.6639 | [It's] weird- it's weird, but music is a v- big science. | 1404.0256 |
1276 | | 1404.4653 | It's a- | 1405.1070 |
1278 | | 1405.2536 | it's- it's a | 1406.0053 |
1280 | | 1406.2038 | crazy [science.] | 1407.8123 |
1281 | ROC_int_01 | 1407.5571 | [Mm-hm.] | 1408.1622 |
1282 | ROC_se0_ag1_m_03 | 1408.2098 | I mean, words is already a science, but | 1410.1958 |
1284 | | 1410.7868 | music itself, that science is like | 1413.7044 |
1286 | | 1414.3465 | a puzzle. <laugh> | 1416.0634 |
1288 | | 1416.3660 | It's a big puzzle, so | 1418.0774 |
1290 | | 1420.3009 | they already know most of the puzzle pieces and where they supposed to go. | 1423.6716 |
1292 | | 1424.1413 | I'm just one piece in this puzzle too. | 1426.7240 |
1294 | | 1426.9722 | So, | 1427.4650 |
1296 | | 1427.9850 | I just fit | 1428.6361 |
1298 | | 1428.9066 | where- | 1429.4910 |
1300 | | 1429.6318 | where it's needed, | 1430.6610 |
1302 | | 1431.2019 | you know. | 1431.6343 |
1304 | | 1431.8163 | We have sessions, | 1432.9355 |
1306 | | 1433.5170 | listening to music, | 1434.5192 |
1308 | | 1434.7367 | just vibing, | 1435.9044 |
1310 | | 1436.6474 | create a hook, freestyle the hook. | 1438.0326 |
1312 | | 1440.0796 | Months later that | 1441.0251 |
1314 | | 1441.7389 | freestyled hook | 1442.6616 |
1316 | | 1443.2147 | that people almost forgot about, | 1444.8173 |
1318 | | 1445.5501 | once that beat comes back on, we all know that hook, | 1447.9375 |
1320 | | 1448.2268 | and now this a actual song. | 1449.7795 |
1321 | ROC_int_01 | 1449.8293 | Yeah. | 1450.2028 |
1322 | ROC_se0_ag1_m_03 | 1450.6566 | And getting played on radios. | 1452.0748 |
1324 | | 1452.4767 | So, it's- it's weird. It's weird. It's like every- | 1455.1769 |
1326 | | 1455.9286 | /hey/. | 1456.1744 |
1328 | | 1456.6282 | <laugh> | 1457.7439 |
1330 | | 1458.0382 | And now my brother-in-law's in the loop too, cause he- he- he's a singer and like background vocals is needed. | 1463.8176 |
1332 | | 1464.3235 | I- it's weird. It's weird. | 1466.2936 |
1334 | | 1466.4428 | It's very weird. Everything happens for a reason. | 1469.3157 |
1336 | | 1469.8848 | It- everything- | 1470.8919 |
1338 | | 1471.0385 | oh my god. | 1471.9156 |
1340 | | 1472.1860 | It's hard to say. <laugh> It's [har- it's hard] to really explain it, | 1475.0927 |
1341 | ROC_int_01 | 1473.6592 | [Yeah.] | 1474.1042 |
1342 | ROC_se0_ag1_m_03 | 1475.2582 | but yeah. | 1475.7796 |
1344 | | 1476.1479 | It all started with /RD-NAME-3/. | 1477.3497 |
1345 | ROC_int_01 | 1478.0454 | [<laugh>] | 1479.3266 |
1346 | ROC_se0_ag1_m_03 | 1478.1541 | [<laugh>] | 1479.0098 |
1347 | | 1479.3991 | It all [started with /RD-NAME-3/, yeah.] | 1481.5986 |
1348 | ROC_int_01 | 1480.0300 | [That's sweet, yeah.] | 1481.4355 |
1349 | | 1481.9992 | Well, so then, | 1483.2094 |
1351 | | 1483.9905 | uh, | 1484.5117 |
1353 | | 1484.6062 | who are your biggest, I guess, influencers in terms of music, like what artists do you | 1490.0716 |
1354 | ROC_se0_ag1_m_03 | 1490.3293 | [Oh], | 1490.9023 |
1355 | ROC_int_01 | 1490.4402 | [emanate?] | 1490.8966 |
1356 | ROC_se0_ag1_m_03 | 1491.3368 | everyone. | 1492.2640 |
1357 | ROC_int_01 | 1492.4389 | Yeah? | 1492.7179 |
1358 | ROC_se0_ag1_m_03 | 1492.8242 | Yeah, | 1493.4841 |
1360 | | 1493.8056 | even the whack ones. | 1494.9095 |
1361 | ROC_int_01 | 1495.0584 | [<laugh>] | 1495.9211 |
1362 | ROC_se0_ag1_m_03 | 1495.4389 | [But], | 1495.8053 |
1363 | | 1496.1804 | you know, | 1496.8448 |
1365 | | 1497.1619 | I wouldn't say they're just wack, they're just different | 1499.2922 |
1367 | | 1499.7964 | /?/ just /??/ | 1501.0879 |
1369 | | 1501.5843 | better word to say it. | 1502.7993 |
1371 | | 1503.1916 | They're just different, um, | 1504.7431 |
1373 | | 1504.9653 | like I said before, I understand music now and what music is supposed to be. | 1509.7069 |
1375 | | 1510.3413 | You know, even a lot of new artists | 1512.1643 |
1377 | | 1512.2612 | like Lil Yachty, | 1513.5933 |
1379 | | 1513.7592 | you know, or- or- or Lil Uzi Vert, | 1516.5631 |
1381 | | 1516.6786 | whoever that is. | 1517.5468 |
1383 | | 1518.0491 | Um, | 1518.6133 |
1385 | | 1520.6230 | beyond actual just having metaphors and word play, | 1524.3457 |
1387 | | 1524.7854 | I would say nowadays, it really doesn't matter. It d- matters about song structure and what can get caught in a person's head, | 1531.4188 |
1388 | ROC_int_01 | 1531.3857 | Mm. | 1531.8317 |
1389 | ROC_se0_ag1_m_03 | 1532.0204 | and | 1532.6602 |
1391 | | 1533.5430 | they are great at it. | 1534.8338 |
1393 | | 1535.2178 | I'm not gonna- I'm not gonna | 1536.7717 |
1395 | | 1536.8969 | lie about it. They're- they're great at it. | 1538.8635 |

1399 | | 1540.4756 | b- I study them. | 1541.6287 |
1401 | | 1541.7102 | They're- they're part of my influences, you know, | 1544.3104 |
1403 | | 1544.4975 | cause I gotta pick apart, okay what did they do to make it- | 1547.2063 |
1405 | | 1547.6508 | make their song hot? | 1548.6883 |
1407 | | 1549.2108 | And how can I not do what they do, yet incorporate a little bit of it just to give the people what they need? | 1554.4620 |
1408 | ROC_int_01 | 1554.5632 | Mm. | 1554.9414 |
1409 | ROC_se0_ag1_m_03 | 1555.0246 | You know what I'm [saying?] | 1555.8680 |

1648 | | 1804.9382 | I don't want- I want respect first. | 1806.4330 |
1650 | | 1806.8644 | I don't want no fame. | 1807.9987 |
1652 | | 1808.3736 | I don't like- I don't like famous. | 1810.0420 |
1654 | | 1810.7512 | You know, famous is- that's a beast. | 1812.6374 |
1656 | | 1812.8876 | Even though | 1813.5687 |
1658 | | 1813.8759 | when you're- | 1814.8460 |
1660 | | 1816.3162 | when you're attacking the profession | 1818.3027 |
1662 | | 1818.8603 | and you really grind hard to do what you do, | 1821.2100 |
1664 | | 1821.8680 | sometimes spotlight will come. | 1823.5737 |
1666 | | 1823.9898 | And I'm not /??/ hide that. | 1825.2926 |
1668 | | 1825.7681 | If the spotlight do come to me, | 1827.2829 |
1670 | | 1827.7394 | I will handle it accordingly. | 1829.2434 |

1673 | ROC_int_01 | 1831.4647 | [Mm-hm.] | 1832.0809 |
1674 | ROC_se0_ag1_m_03 | 1831.9285 | [And] just, | 1832.5820 |
1675 | | 1833.5571 | some people like lyrics still. <laugh> | 1835.7183 |
1677 | | 1836.0209 | Some people like lyrics still, [so], | 1837.6992 |
1678 | ROC_int_01 | 1837.3871 | [Mm-hm.] | 1837.8788 |

1683 | | 1840.7672 | give 'em something bouncy. | 1841.9457 |
1685 | | 1842.8203 | I just realized myself, I'm too deep. | 1844.8431 |
1687 | | 1845.8798 | That was one of the reasons why I had made a name change. | 1848.3617 |
1689 | | 1848.8628 | Cause I- | 1849.7288 |
1691 | | 1851.8514 | technically speaking, | 1852.8158 |
1693 | | 1854.3174 | the average listener | 1855.3439 |
1695 | | 1857.3408 | has issues with attention. | 1858.8631 |
1697 | | 1860.8297 | So, a attention span | 1862.4362 |
1699 | | 1862.7263 | of /??/ | 1863.4213 |
1701 | | 1863.5574 | average person is less than thirty seconds. | 1865.6573 |
1703 | | 1866.4941 | Right? | 1866.8203 |
1705 | | 1867.6418 | If you don't do something /that you have/ | 1869.3065 |
1707 | | 1869.5110 | to catch them, | 1870.3242 |
1709 | | 1871.1724 | they're going to press the skip button. | 1872.7820 |
1711 | | 1873.8839 | Some people don't like to be | 1875.2604 |
1713 | | 1875.4637 | tooken to a deep place | 1876.9304 |
1715 | | 1877.5365 | all the time. | 1878.3041 |
1717 | | 1878.9983 | I get it, | 1879.4639 |
1719 | | 1879.6199 | okay. | 1880.1675 |
1721 | | 1881.0193 | So now, | 1881.6370 |
1723 | | 1881.7292 | I'm tryna incorporate this fun style | 1883.8103 |
1725 | | 1884.3232 | with saying little bit of messages | 1886.1929 |
1727 | | 1886.9954 | that you don't unders- that you don't get | 1889.1476 |
1729 | | 1889.3604 | yet. | 1889.7803 |
1730 | ROC_int_01 | 1890.2866 | <laugh> | 1891.0131 |
1731 | ROC_se0_ag1_m_03 | 1891.0291 | Until you actually go through the lyrics in your head, and it's like, woah, he really said that. It didn't sound like he meant /like/ | 1897.0543 |
1732 | ROC_int_01 | 1897.3189 | [Mm-hm.] | 1898.0227 |
1733 | ROC_se0_ag1_m_03 | 1897.5400 | [that way.] | 1898.0442 |
1734 | | 1898.7654 | But, | 1899.1530 |
1736 | | 1899.3445 | oh, wow, that was very knowledgeable. | 1901.4033 |
1738 | | 1902.1128 | How did he do that on a party record? | 1903.9901 |
1740 | | 1904.4750 | You know, | 1904.8451 |
1742 | | 1905.0368 | things like that, | 1905.7800 |
1744 | | 1905.8675 | like I want to be kind of like how- | 1907.6331 |
1746 | | 1908.0884 | how- | 1908.4207 |
1748 | | 1908.6843 | Chance the Rapper and | 1909.8841 |
1750 | | 1910.5708 | Kendrick Lamar and J. Cole, how | 1912.6983 |
1752 | | 1913.0889 | they present | 1913.8434 |
1754 | | 1914.1932 | their messages. | 1915.1785 |
1756 | | 1915.6280 | Like songs like Love Yours, | 1917.4401 |
1758 | | 1918.0560 | the deepest song in the world, | 1919.8221 |
1760 | | 1920.7416 | because those words are true. | 1922.4742 |
1762 | | 1923.1534 | There's no such thing as a life that's better than yours. | 1925.8552 |
1764 | | 1926.7156 | You won't be happy until you love what you got. | 1929.2736 |
1766 | | 1929.5903 | Because there's always gonna be something greater. | 1931.9036 |
1768 | | 1932.7652 | There's gonna be a house bigger than yours. There's always gonna be a woman that's badder than the one you got. | 1937.3395 |
1770 | | 1937.6508 | It's always gonna be | 1938.8409 |
1772 | | 1939.5665 | somebody with more money than you. | 1941.3374 |
1774 | | 1942.0353 | However, | 1942.9187 |
1776 | | 1943.7347 | none of that matters | 1945.1344 |
1778 | | 1945.5807 | if you are happy where you're at. | 1947.2737 |
1780 | | 1948.0465 | You know, | 1948.5473 |
1782 | | 1948.7664 | that's- | 1949.2544 |
1784 | | 1949.7536 | oh my god. | 1950.4461 |
1786 | | 1951.2144 | He just made it super catchy. | 1952.5522 |
1788 | | 1953.4252 | You know what I'm saying? | 1954.3573 |
1790 | | 1954.9235 | And that resonated with people. | 1956.3209 |
1792 | | 1956.8527 | That's the type of thing I wanna do. | 1958.1473 |
1794 | | 1958.5101 | I wanna do that. | 1959.4438 |
1796 | | 1959.8480 | That is awesome. | 1961.0369 |

1808 | | 1970.8197 | That' it. | 1971.4650 |

1812 | | 1974.6351 | oh, that- d- | 1975.7467 |
1814 | | 1975.9778 | I could talk about music all day, | 1977.3681 |

1876 | | 2038.6121 | you know. | 2039.1046 |
1878 | | 2039.5750 | I get all deep and whatnot. | 2040.8353 |
1880 | | 2042.8681 | You know, | 2043.2215 |
1882 | | 2043.3980 | I can have a whole conversation about the sky being red, | 2046.0478 |
1884 | | 2046.8948 | and by the end of the conversation, I can almost convince you that the sky is red, | 2050.2726 |
1886 | | 2050.5838 | <laugh> you know. | 2052.0265 |
1888 | | 2052.4380 | But that's just it. | 2053.3459 |
1890 | | 2053.4514 | That's just it. I just like- | 2054.5632 |
1892 | | 2054.7622 | I like- I- | 2055.2807 |
1894 | | 2055.4543 | now I like- | 2056.1258 |
1896 | | 2057.9193 | I study | 2058.6572 |
1898 | | 2059.0543 | so much to the point where | 2060.7255 |
1900 | | 2061.1372 | I don't even study the music no more. | 2062.9667 |
1902 | | 2063.4016 | Life is music now. | 2064.6028 |
1904 | | 2064.9929 | It's like | 2065.4065 |
1906 | | 2067.1780 | technically speaking, | 2068.0820 |
1908 | | 2068.4072 | driving here, | 2069.1646 |
1910 | | 2069.5503 | looking at how people interact with each other, | 2072.2378 |
1912 | | 2073.1412 | being at a stoplight hearing conversations | 2075.5711 |
1914 | | 2076.1152 | that's happening | 2076.8858 |
1916 | | 2077.2569 | at a corner store or whatever, | 2078.4340 |
1918 | | 2078.6117 | you know what I'm saying? | 2079.4249 |
1920 | | 2079.8952 | Or going- going into a store, | 2081.8387 |
1922 | | 2082.1512 | you know what I mean, and just walking by hearing how | 2084.7650 |
1924 | | 2085.7321 | one person acts | 2086.9042 |
1926 | | 2087.0507 | towards another person or how, uh, this child acts towards their mother. | 2090.7937 |
1928 | | 2091.1365 | You know, | 2091.6021 |
1930 | | 2092.0347 | or how these two kids playing when they around each other. | 2094.9260 |
1932 | | 2095.2522 | Like I have to put all of that in perspective | 2097.7109 |
1934 | | 2098.1411 | because | 2098.8413 |
1936 | | 2099.6104 | there's gonna be one day | 2100.9945 |
1938 | | 2101.5145 | that I'm gonna have to explain | 2103.0443 |
1940 | | 2103.4272 | that, | 2103.8522 |
1942 | | 2104.6209 | you know? | 2105.0511 |
1944 | | 2105.3624 | Explain | 2106.0538 |
1946 | | 2108.0162 | what- | 2108.4219 |
1948 | | 2110.4696 | Like, | 2110.7391 |
1950 | | 2111.3304 | perfect example, if I wanted to make a song about the neighborhood | 2114.1244 |
1952 | | 2114.8079 | and what the neighborhood should be, | 2116.2924 |
1954 | | 2116.9211 | I'm gonna use references on how I grew up, | 2119.0985 |
1956 | | 2119.9495 | you know what I'm saying? | 2120.7587 |
1957 | ROC_int_01 | 2120.7374 | Mm-hm. | 2121.1121 |
1958 | ROC_se0_ag1_m_03 | 2121.1294 | I'm gonna | 2121.6683 |
1960 | | 2122.5405 | okay, | 2123.0511 |
1962 | | 2123.4196 | make a metaphor about playing curve ball. | 2125.4625 |
1964 | | 2126.3305 | Or make a metaphor about playing freeze tag. | 2128.3916 |
1966 | | 2128.9469 | Or make a metaphor | 2130.0750 |
1968 | | 2130.3428 | about | 2130.8078 |
1970 | | 2131.7249 | two different streets coming to one playground just to play football. | 2134.8715 |
1972 | | 2135.4983 | You know, things like that. | 2136.8030 |
1974 | | 2137.0702 | Like that's | 2137.9258 |
1976 | | 2139.0065 | what's gonna | 2139.4438 |
1978 | | 2139.6754 | capture people. That's the thing that's like- | 2141.7961 |
1980 | | 2143.8975 | that's relatable. | 2144.8239 |
1982 | | 2144.9734 | If it's relatable, | 2145.9769 |
1984 | | 2146.1789 | and if it can touch they heart, | 2147.4057 |
1986 | | 2149.4295 | then it's meant to stay in they heart. | 2151.0254 |
1988 | | 2151.2972 | [<laugh>] | 2152.1174 |
1989 | ROC_int_01 | 2151.8882 | [Mm-hm.] | 2152.3916 |
1990 | ROC_se0_ag1_m_03 | 2152.5453 | It's meant to stay in they heart, | 2153.8381 |
1992 | | 2154.0585 | you know. | 2154.4414 |
1994 | | 2155.0985 | Oh that's cool. | 2155.6564 |
1996 | | 2155.9879 | I was looking at that the whole time. | 2157.6801 |
1998 | | 2158.2339 | I [did not-] | 2158.7728 |
1999 | ROC_int_01 | 2158.4253 | [I didn't] even see that. | 2159.6781 |

2003 | ROC_int_01 | 2162.9934 | [<laugh>] | 2163.4022 |
2004 | ROC_se0_ag1_m_03 | 2163.8243 | I was just staring at that map layout. | 2165.5262 |
2006 | | 2167.3821 | [But yeah.] | 2167.8116 |
2007 | ROC_int_01 | 2167.4365 | [Um], | 2167.7673 |
2008 | | 2168.0606 | I wanted to ask some questions, turn it a little more to | 2171.7640 |
2010 | | 2171.8928 | specific questions about Rochester. | 2173.6728 |
2011 | ROC_se0_ag1_m_03 | 2173.7162 | Oh yeah let's do it. | 2174.4669 |

2028 | | 2194.1481 | things that uplift the kids, you [know, or uplift] people, or | 2197.8738 |
2029 | ROC_int_01 | 2196.4213 | [Mm-hm.] | 2196.6747 |
2030 | ROC_se0_ag1_m_03 | 2198.1763 | help black businesses or | 2200.0082 |
2032 | | 2200.9020 | <clears throat> | 2201.3110 |

2046 | | 2210.8197 | <laugh> | 2211.4173 |
2048 | | 2211.8215 | Or- or let's just say, um, | 2213.9516 |
2050 | | 2214.7695 | how can I put it? | 2215.4696 |
2052 | | 2217.8877 | Like poetry [events.] | 2219.1314 |
2053 | ROC_int_01 | 2219.0750 | [Mm-hm.] | 2219.5413 |
2054 | ROC_se0_ag1_m_03 | 2219.4505 | [Um,] | 2220.2589 |
2055 | | 2220.4055 | you know, my auntie is a poet, my | 2222.4006 |
2057 | | 2222.7033 | mother is a poet. | 2223.6820 |
2059 | | 2224.3892 | Um, | 2225.0875 |
2061 | | 2225.5923 | so it's like | 2226.2443 |
2063 | | 2226.5823 | I go to those events. | 2227.6838 |
2065 | | 2228.2827 | To me, I'm a poet. | 2229.2374 |
2067 | | 2229.3143 | I just speak in rap form too much. | 2231.1723 |
2069 | | 2231.7679 | Um, but | 2232.5196 |
2071 | | 2234.5363 | that's /one/ place that I can go to | 2236.3611 |
2073 | | 2236.5715 | to breathe. | 2237.1885 |
2075 | | 2237.4110 | I call it breathing. | 2238.2691 |
2077 | | 2238.7796 | Cause I don't have to care | 2240.2134 |
2079 | | 2240.5907 | about being too deep. | 2241.7691 |
2081 | | 2242.4415 | You know, I can- I know | 2243.9310 |
2083 | | 2244.5787 | what I will say will resonate with somebody | 2247.1460 |
2085 | | 2247.6728 | in this atmosphere. | 2248.8126 |
2087 | | 2249.3472 | And that's what I like, | 2250.1390 |
2089 | | 2250.3187 | I like good vibes. | 2251.6476 |
2091 | | 2251.7298 | Good vibes is awesome. | 2253.1907 |
2093 | | 2253.4118 | So I want | 2254.0008 |
2095 | | 2254.5109 | I- I always like to | 2256.1249 |
2097 | | 2256.2505 | put myself in, | 2257.1959 |
2099 | | 2257.8456 | uh, places where | 2259.4328 |
2101 | | 2260.8717 | people matter | 2261.6845 |
2102 | ROC_int_01 | 2261.9655 | Mm. | 2262.2062 |
2103 | ROC_se0_ag1_m_03 | 2263.1118 | and people matters to people. | 2265.0132 |
2105 | | 2265.4747 | You know, (laughing) that- that's- that's where- | 2267.4370 |
2107 | | 2267.9027 | that's where- | 2268.5542 |
2109 | | 2269.7205 | I would say that's where my heart lies in Rochester. | 2271.8245 |
2111 | | 2272.5431 | Cause to me that's making Rochester better. | 2274.3636 |
2112 | ROC_int_01 | 2274.5243 | Mm. | 2274.8293 |
2113 | ROC_se0_ag1_m_03 | 2275.3587 | That's making Rochester more | 2276.7679 |
2115 | | 2277.3778 | like this, | 2278.1153 |
2117 | | 2278.6117 | instead of divided into sections. | 2280.2719 |
2118 | ROC_int_01 | 2280.3305 | Yeah. | 2280.8080 |
2119 | ROC_se0_ag1_m_03 | 2280.8080 | [<laugh>] | 2281.5530 |
2120 | ROC_int_01 | 2281.4806 | [Well], on that topic, I was gonna ask, I always ask the [reversed.] | 2284.9067 |
2121 | ROC_se0_ag1_m_03 | 2284.8726 | [Mm-hm.] | 2285.3402 |
2122 | ROC_int_01 | 2285.1679 | [What do you] dislike about this place? What would you like to see improved? | 2288.3711 |
2123 | ROC_se0_ag1_m_03 | 2289.8512 | Support. | 2290.5414 |
2124 | ROC_int_01 | 2291.5409 | Mm. | 2291.8205 |
2125 | ROC_se0_ag1_m_03 | 2292.3511 | And I'm saying that from a artist's standpoint. | 2294.1805 |
2127 | | 2294.7318 | Um, you know, | 2295.7860 |
2129 | | 2296.7461 | uh, | 2297.4529 |
2131 | | 2300.7932 | a lot of Rochester are followers. | 2303.3439 |
2133 | | 2303.9587 | Rochesterians, they just- | 2305.5617 |
2135 | | 2307.1818 | a lot of them lead, but | 2308.3159 |
2137 | | 2308.8052 | most | 2309.5427 |
2139 | | 2310.8593 | of | 2311.4435 |
2141 | | 2311.8104 | the people that | 2312.6358 |
2143 | | 2313.3227 | don't lead, they just blindly follow. | 2315.7318 |
2145 | | 2317.0886 | Now | 2317.5034 |
2147 | | 2317.6417 | I understand half of it, especially from a artist's standpoint. | 2320.9942 |
2149 | | 2321.3724 | You know, people will wanna see a artist | 2323.2677 |
2151 | | 2324.0708 | go out there | 2325.0144 |
2153 | | 2325.3181 | and get | 2325.7436 |
2155 | | 2325.8535 | what they need, | 2326.5601 |
2157 | | 2327.0194 | and once they go- once the people see that they're going out to get it, | 2330.3545 |
2159 | | 2331.2984 | oh okay he's on his grind. Okay I can like his stuff now. | 2334.2488 |
2161 | | 2334.5560 | You know, I understand that point. | 2335.9849 |
2163 | | 2336.4464 | But, you know, | 2337.3086 |
2165 | | 2337.5698 | with Rochester it's almost like, | 2339.7878 |
2167 | | 2340.4694 | um, | 2341.1387 |
2169 | | 2341.7293 | you know, they'll su- /??/ they'll support others | 2344.7040 |
2171 | | 2345.1872 | very fast, | 2346.2688 |
2173 | | 2346.7757 | you know. | 2347.3644 |
2175 | | 2347.6785 | I mean, | 2348.2552 |
2177 | | 2349.6865 | I know some people that would go and buy a Lil Wayne album before they go and buy a local album | 2354.8491 |
2179 | | 2355.5456 | from someone in their town, | 2356.7344 |
2181 | | 2357.6360 | you know. | 2358.0397 |
2183 | | 2358.3073 | And that's one of the things that I wish | 2360.9499 |
2185 | | 2362.1870 | could change. | 2363.1895 |
2186 | ROC_int_01 | 2363.3145 | [Mm-hm.] | 2363.7462 |
2187 | ROC_se0_ag1_m_03 | 2363.4693 | [Like], the mindset of Rochester, | 2365.6452 |
2188 | | 2366.7805 | just that following mindset instead of leading by example. | 2370.0559 |
2190 | | 2370.4569 | You know, like now, | 2372.0974 |
2192 | | 2373.0256 | it's getting to the point where radio is actually playing local artists more. | 2376.5815 |
2194 | | 2377.1346 | DKX, uh, WAYO Radio, | 2379.6969 |
2196 | | 2380.2148 | um, | 2381.1288 |
2198 | | 2382.5283 | uh, one double O nine, | 2384.3673 |
2200 | | 2384.4855 | like | 2384.7486 |
2202 | | 2384.8391 | they're- | 2385.3904 |
2204 | | 2385.6480 | point nine, they are | 2386.6552 |
2206 | | 2386.7832 | all playing local talent now. | 2389.2955 |
2208 | | 2389.7025 | You know, and that's what's- | 2390.9204 |
2210 | | 2391.8807 | that's what's helping Rochester out a little bit more. | 2394.6211 |
2212 | | 2394.8473 | Okay, now | 2395.8278 |
2214 | | 2396.6443 | local | 2397.2770 |
2216 | | 2397.4756 | acts are being heard | 2398.9293 |
2218 | | 2399.4966 | by the people that | 2400.4076 |
2220 | | 2400.5459 | can't- that- that can listen | 2402.1953 |
2222 | | 2402.5636 | willingly now. | 2403.3574 |
2224 | | 2404.3457 | Now it's to the point where | 2405.5860 |
2226 | | 2405.7586 | getting 'em to come to these shows, | 2408.0286 |
2228 | | 2408.5403 | you know, instead of focusing on the next Gucci concert or the next Jeezy concert. | 2413.1410 |
2230 | | 2413.7745 | And get | 2414.1405 |
2232 | | 2414.7983 | those same people | 2416.0547 |
2234 | | 2417.1365 | to come to a local event, | 2418.6635 |
2236 | | 2419.5587 | you know, and support | 2420.6349 |
2238 | | 2421.7080 | the people that's trying to get on that level of the Fabolouses and the | 2425.3726 |
2240 | | 2425.6563 | young Jeezys and the Gucci Manes, | 2428.1240 |
2242 | | 2428.4033 | or- You know what I mean, we're all trying to make it to that- | 2430.9563 |
2244 | | 2431.7264 | to that spot. | 2432.4695 |
2246 | | 2433.2920 | You know, and it's just- | 2434.4936 |
2248 | | 2434.8907 | But | 2435.0864 |
2250 | | 2435.7810 | I guess it's like that with every other- | 2437.3431 |
2252 | | 2437.7662 | every other town. | 2438.7243 |
2254 | | 2438.8224 | A lot of artists | 2439.6635 |
2256 | | 2440.6232 | in a lot of towns don't get the respect from their town until they get respect from other ones. So I ca- I get it a little bit, but | 2447.1127 |
2258 | | 2447.5422 | I just want the support factor to be there again. | 2450.0117 |
2260 | | 2450.5790 | You know, | 2451.1246 |
2262 | | 2451.4603 | and, | 2451.9592 |
2264 | | 2452.8257 | with the kickball things that's happening right now, | 2455.1666 |
2266 | | 2455.6732 | that is also helping | 2457.1375 |
2268 | | 2457.4015 | the community cause it's- you know, it used to be like a east side west side type of war for some reason, | 2462.5715 |
2270 | | 2462.8740 | and it's been going on ever since my dad was a kid. | 2465.2305 |
2272 | | 2465.6160 | So, | 2466.0887 |
2274 | | 2466.8450 | to see | 2467.5583 |
2276 | | 2468.0940 | people from each side | 2469.9336 |
2278 | | 2470.0801 | coming together | 2470.8458 |
2280 | | 2472.4172 | to do something | 2473.6366 |
2282 | | 2474.1765 | which is also fun, | 2475.2025 |
2284 | | 2475.9390 | it's positive | 2476.9283 |
2286 | | 2477.2725 | because there's no drama happening. | 2479.2523 |
2287 | ROC_int_01 | 2479.4344 | Mm-hm. | 2480.0576 |
2288 | ROC_se0_ag1_m_03 | 2480.0739 | They're all | 2481.0511 |
2290 | | 2481.2259 | cordial. | 2481.9311 |
2292 | | 2482.7381 | And, you know, | 2483.5089 |
2294 | | 2483.8785 | yes, it's super competitive and | 2485.5360 |
2296 | | 2486.9924 | okay, | 2487.3885 |
2298 | | 2487.7888 | but past that, | 2488.5213 |
2300 | | 2488.6990 | everybody is having fun. | 2490.1034 |
2302 | | 2490.7389 | You know what I mean, that's- | 2491.9118 |
2304 | | 2492.0063 | to me that's support right there. | 2493.5640 |
2306 | | 2494.0041 | That's the epitome of what support supposed to be. | 2496.1506 |
2308 | | 2496.7366 | So, | 2497.0254 |
2310 | | 2497.3797 | that's- | 2497.7983 |
2312 | | 2497.9066 | you know, | 2498.2656 |
2314 | | 2498.4436 | I see we're working on it. | 2499.5451 |
2316 | | 2499.9187 | We're- Rochester is working on getting | 2501.8935 |
2318 | | 2502.3371 | that | 2502.7095 |
2320 | | 2503.1525 | one weakness as strength. | 2504.7295 |
2322 | | 2505.4595 | [<laugh>] | 2506.3883 |
2323 | ROC_int_01 | 2506.2767 | [Yeah], okay. | 2507.1513 |
2324 | | 2507.5432 | Cool, | 2507.8714 |
2326 | | 2508.2329 | and would you describe Rochester as a diverse city? | 2511.4489 |
2327 | ROC_se0_ag1_m_03 | 2511.6971 | Uh, very much so. | 2513.2316 |
2328 | ROC_int_01 | 2513.3191 | Okay. | 2513.6548 |
2329 | ROC_se0_ag1_m_03 | 2513.7434 | Very much so. Um, | 2515.2644 |
2331 | | 2515.8587 | at first, uh, growing up I didn't think so. | 2518.2880 |
2333 | | 2518.7990 | Um, | 2519.5081 |
2335 | | 2519.8187 | however, um, | 2521.5517 |
2337 | | 2522.4065 | once I got towards like, uh, | 2524.5600 |
2339 | | 2524.9452 | colleges and | 2526.4995 |
2341 | | 2526.9526 | looking at what actually Rochester delivers as far as events wise, and, uh, | 2532.2073 |
2343 | | 2532.5990 | uh, opportunities that's given, | 2534.3010 |
2345 | | 2534.6752 | um, | 2535.2628 |
2347 | | 2536.0495 | I realized Rochester | 2537.5547 |
2349 | | 2537.6623 | is really big. | 2538.9943 |
2351 | | 2539.4574 | I mean, it's a small city, but we're really huge. | 2542.2206 |
2353 | | 2542.7410 | Like, um, | 2543.8574 |
2355 | | 2544.9315 | how can I say it? For example, | 2546.4879 |
2357 | | 2546.9560 | it's almost like | 2547.7416 |
2359 | | 2552.5140 | I never knew | 2553.5327 |
2361 | | 2553.7057 | how | 2554.6063 |
2363 | | 2556.2302 | big /RD-SCHOOL-3/ was | 2557.8474 |
2365 | | 2558.0838 | until the second year I went there. | 2559.8660 |
2366 | ROC_int_01 | 2560.6843 | Mm. | 2560.9136 |
2367 | ROC_se0_ag1_m_03 | 2561.2728 | And then realized they're like number one in the country, | 2564.1121 |
2369 | | 2565.7891 | and people come | 2566.8053 |
2371 | | 2566.9563 | from different places just to go there. | 2569.2127 |
2372 | ROC_int_01 | 2569.2233 | Mm-hm. | 2569.6733 |
2373 | ROC_se0_ag1_m_03 | 2569.6475 | The same for the U of R and the same for RIT. | 2572.1816 |
2374 | | 2572.8002 | You know what I'm saying, | 2573.7126 |
2376 | | 2574.0942 | there's so many | 2576.1330 |
2378 | | 2576.8705 | different people. | 2577.8413 |
2380 | | 2578.5780 | I met somebody Hawaiian. | 2579.9064 |
2382 | | 2580.1617 | I never thought I would meet somebody Hawaiian without going to Hawaii, | 2583.5324 |
2384 | | 2584.0004 | you know what I'm saying. But | 2585.0517 |
2385 | ROC_int_01 | 2585.1027 | Mm-hm. | 2585.4152 |
2386 | ROC_se0_ag1_m_03 | 2585.4174 | they came here. | 2586.2487 |
2388 | | 2586.8610 | <laugh> | 2587.7379 |
2390 | | 2588.1075 | So | 2588.5377 |
2392 | | 2588.7362 | yeah, this is a very very very diversed- | 2591.7713 |
2394 | | 2592.5037 | diverse city. | 2593.4259 |
2396 | | 2593.9780 | You know, | 2594.7224 |
2398 | | 2595.4251 | d- various nationalities, and every one | 2598.2568 |
2400 | | 2598.7398 | is cordial with one another, that's the thing. | 2601.3940 |
2402 | | 2601.8990 | There's- | 2602.7090 |
2404 | | 2603.4815 | there is not- | 2604.3238 |
2406 | | 2605.0298 | um, | 2605.7907 |
2408 | | 2608.6258 | it's very diverse, | 2609.9251 |
2410 | | 2610.3960 | and it's undivided. | 2611.5443 |
2412 | | 2611.8331 | I can say that. | 2612.5847 |
2413 | ROC_int_01 | 2612.9440 | [Mm.] | 2613.1728 |
2414 | ROC_se0_ag1_m_03 | 2613.0813 | [It's] diverse yet undivided. | 2614.7858 |
2415 | | 2615.5233 | Cause | 2615.9367 |
2417 | | 2616.0646 | people is going out of their comfort zones, | 2618.4405 |
2419 | | 2619.2301 | and they're making these interactions with people that | 2622.0541 |
2421 | | 2622.3900 | they never thought they would. | 2623.6513 |
2422 | ROC_int_01 | 2623.8272 | Mm. | 2624.0259 |
2423 | ROC_se0_ag1_m_03 | 2623.9897 | But yet after making those interactions | 2626.0892 |
2424 | | 2626.9756 | they're closer | 2627.7827 |
2426 | | 2627.9375 | with that person. | 2628.7253 |
2428 | | 2629.0061 | You know, so | 2629.6153 |
2430 | | 2630.0025 | it's- it's- it's a great thing. | 2631.5878 |
2432 | | 2631.7698 | It's a great thing, and then knowing different cultures and different people's lives and how | 2636.2012 |
2434 | | 2636.6228 | they operate, what's important to them, what's priorities, | 2639.4463 |
2436 | | 2639.7334 | it helps you align your own, | 2641.5990 |
2438 | | 2642.2090 | you know. So it's- it's- | 2643.5707 |
2440 | | 2644.1341 | the diversity is awesome. | 2645.5571 |
2441 | ROC_int_01 | 2645.8868 | [Yeah.] | 2646.1705 |
2442 | ROC_se0_ag1_m_03 | 2645.9435 | [I like] it. | 2646.4798 |
2443 | ROC_int_01 | 2646.6432 | Okay. | 2646.9623 |
2444 | ROC_se0_ag1_m_03 | 2646.9159 | I [like it.] | 2647.4303 |

2447 | ROC_int_01 | 2648.4255 | Cool, | 2648.8348 |
2449 | | 2648.9577 | cool. | 2649.3312 |
2451 | | 2649.5983 | Okay, and, uh, now I wanna ask a few language-related questions [to Rochester.] | 2654.7199 |
2452 | ROC_se0_ag1_m_03 | 2653.8188 | [Okay.] | 2654.2895 |
2453 | | 2654.9183 | [Okay.] | 2655.2670 |
2454 | ROC_int_01 | 2655.0412 | [So], um, | 2656.0490 |
2455 | | 2656.4062 | <ts> | 2656.4461 |
2457 | | 2657.2229 | do you ever no- | 2658.8912 |
2459 | | 2659.2034 | do people say to you, for example, if you maybe go outside of Rochester, | 2663.0638 |
2461 | | 2663.4184 | that maybe you have an accent [/like/ Roches- Rochesterians] sound a certain way? | 2667.9692 |
2462 | ROC_se0_ag1_m_03 | 2665.4563 | [Oh yes, yes.] | 2666.4822 |
2463 | | 2668.2970 | Um, | 2668.9042 |
2465 | | 2669.4505 | okay, yes, yes. I'm'a- I'm'a break it [down. I'm'a break it down.] I'm'a break it down. | 2673.5863 |
2466 | ROC_int_01 | 2671.9127 | [Okay, break it down.] | 2672.8040 |
2468 | | 2673.5577 | <laugh> | 2673.9247 |
2469 | ROC_se0_ag1_m_03 | 2674.0354 | So, | 2674.6133 |
2471 | | 2674.6819 | let's just say | 2675.5551 |
2473 | | 2675.6402 | remember, I had went to /RD-SCHOOL-7/ University, | 2678.4773 |
2474 | ROC_int_01 | 2678.9650 | [Mm-hm.] | 2679.4900 |
2475 | ROC_se0_ag1_m_03 | 2679.0407 | [right], | 2679.3567 |
2476 | | 2679.8349 | school down south. | 2680.8087 |
2478 | | 2681.3760 | This is when I first learned what | 2683.0906 |
2480 | | 2683.2781 | Geechee meant. | 2684.2315 |
2482 | | 2684.9751 | <laugh> | 2686.2362 |
2483 | ROC_int_01 | 2686.2859 | [Mm-hm.] | 2686.8580 |
2484 | ROC_se0_ag1_m_03 | 2686.6962 | [So], | 2687.2172 |
2485 | | 2688.5843 | when I went down there, | 2689.7142 |
2487 | | 2692.3852 | I told people I was from Rochester, New York, | 2694.1782 |
2489 | | 2694.3810 | however when I talk they said that | 2697.0710 |
2491 | | 2697.4912 | I don't have | 2698.7443 |
2493 | | 2699.0612 | a strong accent. | 2700.4472 |
2495 | | 2701.5777 | Like I don't have a New York accent, | 2703.4289 |
2497 | | 2703.6413 | but I speak in a New York way. | 2705.6221 |
2499 | | 2706.0560 | It was weird. | 2706.7859 |
2501 | | 2707.3670 | Um, | 2708.0711 |
2503 | | 2708.3022 | you know, | 2708.8529 |
2505 | | 2709.1035 | then after being there- down there for a semester and then coming back up to Rochester, | 2713.6846 |
2507 | | 2714.2162 | um, you know, it was certain | 2715.4359 |
2509 | | 2715.5895 | things that was picked up, certain words and everything. | 2718.3224 |
2511 | | 2719.0552 | Um, | 2719.6703 |
2513 | | 2720.2375 | and then when I came back | 2721.5588 |
2515 | | 2721.7763 | here, that's | 2722.7738 |
2517 | | 2722.9076 | when people said I sound Geechee. | 2724.6935 |
2519 | | 2725.8705 | <laugh> | 2727.2055 |
2521 | | 2727.6889 | [<laugh>] | 2728.8434 |
2522 | ROC_int_01 | 2728.5409 | [What do] you you think they meant by Geechee? | 2730.3484 |
2523 | ROC_se0_ag1_m_03 | 2731.3695 | I mean, Geechee | 2732.6487 |
2525 | | 2732.7645 | is like, basically like- | 2734.3426 |
2527 | | 2735.6132 | um, | 2736.6887 |
2529 | | 2737.3536 | like a Southern accent, | 2738.7222 |
2531 | | 2739.5046 | um, | 2740.1026 |
2533 | | 2740.2964 | and which | 2741.0958 |
2535 | | 2741.8617 | a lot of us in Rochester already | 2744.1171 |
2537 | | 2744.3085 | sound | 2744.9066 |
2539 | | 2745.1264 | quote unquote Geechee. | 2746.2941 |
2541 | | 2746.7720 | Because a lot of us was raised by folks that | 2749.4264 |
2543 | | 2750.2684 | lived down south. | 2750.9964 |
2544 | ROC_int_01 | 2751.3391 | Mm-hm. | 2751.7079 |
2545 | ROC_se0_ag1_m_03 | 2751.8024 | Like, like I said, my grandmother | 2753.4516 |
2547 | | 2754.0411 | that lives on /RD-ADDRESS-2/, she | 2755.7999 |
2549 | | 2757.1689 | lived down south. She was born and raised down south. | 2759.7104 |
2551 | | 2760.7126 | Yet, | 2761.0884 |
2553 | | 2761.4288 | she started her new family up here. | 2763.1503 |
2555 | | 2763.8935 | You know, on my mom's side, my g- | 2766.1217 |
2557 | | 2766.2548 | my great-grandparents, | 2767.6723 |
2559 | | 2768.1454 | they were from Mississippi. | 2770.1805 |
2561 | | 2771.2376 | Yet they came up here, | 2772.6322 |
2563 | | 2773.2808 | you know what I'm saying. And | 2774.5284 |
2565 | | 2775.7056 | a lot of their mannerisms is the same, | 2777.9420 |
2567 | | 2778.2215 | you know. | 2778.6700 |
2569 | | 2779.1404 | One of the things that my grandfather always said, you know, it was beautiful. | 2783.3227 |
2571 | | 2783.9018 | <laugh> | 2785.1901 |
2573 | | 2785.5706 | You know, just d- that way, | 2787.0903 |
2575 | | 2787.1908 | uh, just that way, you know what I'm saying. So like, | 2789.6239 |
2577 | | 2790.7542 | everybody- a lot of people in Rochester | 2793.3259 |
2579 | | 2793.6218 | were raised by | 2794.9100 |
2581 | | 2795.3828 | those that were down south. | 2796.6643 |
2583 | | 2797.3876 | So Rochesterians, we have | 2799.5816 |
2585 | | 2799.9673 | a mix of | 2801.4288 |
2587 | | 2802.4705 | upstate | 2803.1489 |
2589 | | 2804.1677 | lingo with | 2805.2455 |
2591 | | 2805.5627 | a little bit of down south | 2808.6147 |
