devil of the prince. You goddamn high.

Speaker 3 (02:46):
What's your favorite strip club?

Speaker 5 (02:47):
DJ? My favorite strip club DJ? My favorite strict club
DJ to DJ DJ Man. Really, I ain't gonna lie
anywhere where they understand strict etiquette, cause this should get
real wicked. Gotcha. A lot of people don't understand strict
club etiquette. You know, they don't understand the beiliness of

(03:09):
a strict club. They don't know how you they don't.
They don't get it.

Speaker 2 (03:12):
We're gonna get into that for sure. All right, let's
get straight into it. You guys already know you've seen
the clips circulating. We had some guys that we all
know up here. We had some ladies that we all
know up here, and we talked about DJ's getting their
fair shot of the promotional side when we see these

(03:33):
parties go up. You always tend to see parties go up,
but then you never tend to see that they promote
the DJ. Do you guys think that that's an issue everywhere?
Just in Atlanta? How do you guys see the party,
the promoters, the owners promoting the DJ as well as
the party.

Speaker 5 (03:50):
I'm gonna feel like it's just Atlanta because it is.
I feel like it's Atlanta. You know, everybody want to
be the star. You know, the promoter won, the promoter
coming in motherfucker with all the chains on. They want
to be that nigga. You know, the DJ don't even
get put on a flyer. When the last time you

(04:10):
saw a flyer with the DJ name on it like
you don't even put the name on what leg get
the nigga their own fly boy them nigga, don't even
by them. Nigga be liking like you wouldn't even think
it's a DJ.

Speaker 7 (04:23):
If you try to fly me me but me personally,
I don't in your fuck because I look at it,
like you know you ain't gotta put me on the fly.
I ain't gotta promote this ship. If you feel like
you don't have to promote me, I ain't gotta promote it.

Speaker 5 (04:37):
You know what I'm saying. I just because I don't
get paid to promote anyway. You know what I'm saying.
You praying me the DJ. You know what I'm saying.

Speaker 7 (04:44):
So you you saying like damn, bro, you're gonna pull
the flag and like, bro, look you the promoter, you promote.

Speaker 5 (04:50):
You know what I'm saying.

Speaker 7 (04:52):
Once you do your job, you get the people here
that when I do my job, Like know what I'm saying,
So I don't give a fuck you put me on
a fly that. You know what I'm saying, Like I'm
gonna do what I I'm getting paid to do. So
all that, Oh, the DJ don't promote themself or the
d they don't bring nobody, like they gotta bringing their laptop.
Like if I bring people, don't bring that laptop, then

(05:13):
what you know what I'm saying, I might work for you.

Speaker 5 (05:16):
At me, I don't care you promote this shit. I
don't me personally.

Speaker 7 (05:19):
I feel like today in Atlanta, like the promoters get
so beside theyself and think, oh, nigget my part of
my part, Like all right, well you promote, you promote,
and I'm gonna play the music like so asking the
DZ to promote sales section that shit?

Speaker 8 (05:31):
Wow, I mean yes, it's I feel like that's where
a disconnect comes into place because the last episode we did,
I got a bunch of calls and you know, some
club Onners promoters they said.

Speaker 3 (05:41):
Well, why would DJ?

Speaker 8 (05:44):
Why would we pay a DJ you know, this amount
of money if they can't, if I can't put them
on the fly and they're gonna bring people. And I said, well,
I think that's when a disconnect comes into place because
if a DJ, if a DJ needs to do that,
then they don't need the promoter.

Speaker 6 (06:03):
It's just it's negligence because like a nigga like me,
every party that I do if I sell three full tables,
I'm telling the more tables and your promoters or you
gotta break me off. Why they getting flats and commissions
and I'm getting I'm doing their job. So if I'm
bringing that to your party and that's what you want
from me, every club wanting to pay me. So it's
like negligence. Is niggas that just don't want to do it?

Speaker 1 (06:26):
It's not. It's not a disconnect.

Speaker 2 (06:28):
I got a questions to everybody, all of us. Can
we take a moment to appreciate the promoters who are
good who do good business?

Speaker 5 (06:38):
Uh do you do?

Speaker 6 (06:40):
You like that?

Speaker 3 (06:46):
Like you?

Speaker 7 (06:47):
But the thing you're like, what it good bening? You're
paying me for what I've already done. You're paying me
for my services Like that, nigga, you're supposed to do
that to me?

Speaker 5 (06:58):
Is niggas sit there and tell you like he's.

Speaker 7 (07:00):
Saying, promoter and all I got promoted that we've been
down like when I first started DJ, I got serve
promoters I started with and people that fucked me when
I wasn't who I was. So you know what I'm saying,
I would deal with ship like promoter coming like you
know what, bro, we.

Speaker 5 (07:11):
Didn't do that.

Speaker 7 (07:12):
We didn't hit we didn't hit the number. Coul you
take that because you take that early in my career.
Cool you, my nigga, fuck with you straight on that.
But at the same time, though them saying niggas, but
we went crazy and like take this extra niggas ain't
doing that.

Speaker 2 (07:26):
They definitely not doing that.

Speaker 5 (07:28):
Like I only I don't really work with promoters because
of that reason. But I ain't gonna I'm gonna shout
out to the one. There's one d one group of
promoters because I don't watch them grow teen lady facts
family went through that. I done been through them. Win
them niggas. Oh man, I ain't got it. The night plug,

(07:51):
you got that. But I go, I go straight owner
straight owner. I ain't gotta I ain't gotta worry about nothing.
Uh give much. But now I've been hearing the.

Speaker 3 (08:08):
Owners grace.

Speaker 5 (08:10):
But I mean.

Speaker 1 (08:15):
A lot of the owners are former promoters, you know what.

Speaker 8 (08:20):
I feel like that's now starting to change to where
you know, that's kind of like a new thing because
I feel like back in the day the owners, we
was just always the owners.

Speaker 3 (08:29):
You know what I'm saying.

Speaker 8 (08:29):
Now you're seeing people evolve and you know they getting
into that space of being an owner.

Speaker 3 (08:34):
So now they're like, why we pay.

Speaker 8 (08:35):
Such and such as much money versus the owners back
in the day will be like how much.

Speaker 7 (08:39):
You want everybody to cut out in the middle man
and save a couple of dollars.

Speaker 2 (08:43):
I got a question to you, guys, b T I
want you to answer to because you're still outside as
well that I'm just saying. I just I just want
just be Yeah, for sure, I am about to start doing,
but I'll be outside. It's gonna be like some happy
I'll be outside on some different ship.

Speaker 3 (09:10):
Look plugged.

Speaker 8 (09:11):
The only nig I know with the jail and was
on live in jail. You say, plug in the strip club,
leave it out with a corona. This nigga was in
jail with a corona and his phone were live streaming
and that.

Speaker 2 (09:28):
Do you guys think Atlanta has changed? I think we
all know that it has. But the clubs are gone.
There's no I don't even know why people say club.
You can't name a club to me outside of maybe
Revel with the size lokor if it opens when it opens.
I don't even know a club that you can go

(09:49):
to to dance, walk around pole.

Speaker 3 (09:56):
Everything is a lounge.

Speaker 2 (09:57):
You gotta eat, you go there to eat.

Speaker 5 (10:00):
Yeah, correct if I'm wrong, you are wronging up on Saturday.
Well since the station.

Speaker 7 (10:11):
Okay, but I'm saying, like so it used to be
like but you know, you know me and me and
but we different different and I think you you, I
think you kind of like they're not gonna go over
there and over there.

Speaker 5 (10:29):
We type got hand.

Speaker 3 (10:32):
Over there, go over where.

Speaker 2 (10:37):

Speaker 5 (10:38):
But you walk in the motherfucker the mother look like
they and bucket type nice.

Speaker 2 (10:44):
They we modeled them.

Speaker 5 (10:46):
They look great. But people just hear the name there,
like I ain't.

Speaker 2 (10:50):
Going what's that bar of on that day? Everybody be
talking about b B B S is another one, though.

Speaker 5 (10:57):
A lot of National bro from the top of old
National right when you get out the you got you
got Central Stations, American Lound, all that ship, American.

Speaker 2 (11:09):
Spot, what's DVS.

Speaker 5 (11:12):

BROI old that bro party like the f.

Speaker 2 (11:39):
That's not going there? Where do they go? They gotta
go to what weasies? They gotta go to.

Speaker 6 (11:47):
The restaurants to me, But to me it's like you
gotta ship. That's that's just uh the decision you made. Yeah,
like you can't complaining about it and then turn around
and do it. That's how I feel. So if like,
if I ain't gonna laugh, I want to go to
some like some literally I go over there. I done
been to bbs. I have a good time, but I've

(12:08):
been there. But you know what I think.

Speaker 8 (12:12):
I think a lot of things plays in the part
where like we don't see a lot of clubs. Is
that the danger that that goes into these clubs? Wa wait,
all it takes is one thing that happened. That's anywere
where the city is just like now we're gonna shut
that down.

Speaker 5 (12:27):
That's anywhere anywhere?

Speaker 3 (12:30):
Okay, name all the clubs that we used to have safer.

Speaker 7 (12:33):
I feel safe for going to chit chat than I
do like being do you know what I'm saying?

Speaker 5 (12:39):
Like it's all.

Speaker 7 (12:40):
About how you move and here that's just like this nigga.
Anytime they open cruiser. He gonna be in that mather
And like I said, and the Mather for gonna go
to cruisers. They probably don't ever leave the West Side.
But I go, I go in that motherfucker kicking and
ship with plug.

Speaker 5 (12:53):
You know what I'm saying.

Speaker 3 (12:54):
Like it ain't.

Speaker 5 (12:55):
It don't feel like, oh man, they finna kill somebody
if it ain't. But you did and think that.

Speaker 8 (13:00):
But you're different because you coming from a different perspective
than where the consumer coming from. Because if you talk
to a consumer, they be like, man, I don't want
to go there because my partner got robbed outside of
or something.

Speaker 5 (13:13):
You get the most the most craziest ship happened to
the quote unquote bulge of clubs. Fact, that's what.

Speaker 3 (13:22):
That's what that's That's what I'm talking about.

Speaker 5 (13:24):
That's what I said. You might have one little it
be sporadic, like you know what, they don't never be
like that. But the buge ship buckheads all that shit. Man,
your car gonna be You walk out the club, your
car either broke in or it gone. You go in

be on the South Side heavy at the U Barbro,
I ain't never had no problems or nothing.

Speaker 3 (14:10):
I'm like, bro, this ship is smooth. Then I done.

Speaker 8 (14:12):
Did certain boogie clubs where it's like then you see
somebody bump into somebody in the crowd and then even
fired off on them.

Speaker 3 (14:19):
Like they don't do this in the hood. I'm gonna
tell you.

Speaker 6 (14:23):

why shit happens is literally the women.

Speaker 1 (14:30):

of women. A nigga go to bbs and they might

About to get serious. Could we explain how labels create
partnerships with a stupid DJs? Uh taste makers. I know
you got you got.

Speaker 3 (22:00):
Your every day DJ.

Speaker 2 (22:01):
Then you got the DJ that has an A and
R ear another. Then you have a DJ that's like
a leader of other DJs.

Speaker 5 (22:08):
Right?

Speaker 2 (22:09):
Can we talk about and break down how important that
DJ is? Because you three do that labels, You have
relationships with labels. Labels pay you in facts to service records.
A lot of people don't know that that that even exists.
That we're playing the song in the club. By the way,
me and ten of my partners, just bust this down.

(22:34):
We're going crazy with a song that's getting played also
on the radio.

Speaker 3 (22:38):
It's a group.

Speaker 2 (22:39):
You know what I'm saying.

Speaker 5 (22:40):
What's going on?

Speaker 6 (22:42):
Listen, no fact, but don't get that confused.

Speaker 7 (22:46):
But look, so the thing is so the thing yet
what that is it ain't ain't so much. I don't
really feel like yourself. The partnership can be better, you
know what I'm saying. And don't get me wrong, but
but when you come to that, you get that level
of DJ in I just feel like you consider the
tape maker and not not necessarily saying like I'm not

(23:07):
gonna give you the game like how you go about it,
but I'm gonna tell you that the ship behind it.
So the thing you're like, say, a nigga like plug,
he and I ain't any of us like we in
the loop the label, Alright, we got the record, we're
gonna pay y'all.

Speaker 5 (23:21):
What are gonna call this that? Did that get the bag? Whatever? Whatever?

Speaker 7 (23:24):
So the thing get with them if I can get
Plugged to play their record from this artist. I know
plug got ten DJ that looking at him like, hey man,
with that record. Damn this nigga playing that shit like
I need to hop on that record, like you know.

Speaker 5 (23:36):
What I'm saying.

Speaker 7 (23:37):
And if BJ, if BJ posted by the record post
the artist be like, oh boy, this shit hard or
I played the land like this shit went crazy. Now
you got other DJ looking at like this nigga wanted them,
so I need to get on the record. And that
that really how this ship really folds, because this nigga
in a strip club or ed crucial and that's one
of the premier spots. And I feel like to do
that shit. You have to have a spot that you

(23:57):
don't build up or spots you got a name that
feel like that way, I gotta go with I need
a record, Broke. I was at leven forty five for
seven years on the Tuesday, And the main thing about
that shit with me breaking records. Now, when I first
went over there, I never knew that I could do
this and get this type of shit to be under
with you, Broke. When I first started doing Left forty
five getting paid two hundred and fifty dollars to close,

(24:18):
and when I when the day I left Left forty
five getting paid two hundred fifty dollars to close, I
did the same thing for seven years and got the
same amount of money. Never told never bitch one time
about I need a raise. You want to know why
I walked out that motherfucker with that money on time
about I was walking out that motherfucker nigga, I was
making someone playing records and the break records. Theyn't leven

(24:41):
forty five. It was just like but I had built
that staple, like all right, this nigga here bro.

Speaker 2 (24:45):
On Tuesday night, we knew we had to come to.

Speaker 5 (24:48):
Let you got that.

Speaker 7 (24:52):
Now, what you're paying for you not paying because sure,
oh know what I'm saying, But you knew, like dad
that nigga and I had the track record my resume
with that, like damn, nigga break records on Tuesday, so
I need man, nigga, you shop my nigga. Fut it
man any but that that nigga chased us down, like
I got to have my records plate on Tuesdays. And

(25:12):
so that's the thing. Like and then the label feel
the same way like nigga, believe it or not. If
you are popping ad DJ in the city and you're
doing what you're supposed to do, you're get put in
room that you've never been in, and they will be
like what it's DJ, right, And you get phone calls
and emails like where the fun they come from? Like
you know what I'm saying, That's how that ship go about.
You know what I'm saying.

Speaker 5 (25:31):
But that's just how I got out of that.

Speaker 2 (25:33):
BJ always has top tier information.

Speaker 5 (25:42):
Spot man.

Speaker 3 (25:45):
Before we get listen.

Speaker 6 (25:47):
It's just I don't know, It's just I worked that
corporate side, you know. You know about that, man, It's
certain certain avenues, a certain things that what I'm on
these calls I pick up, and I think that'd be
the biggest thing. That's that's really what if any DJ listening,
That's really what I want them to.

Speaker 1 (26:03):
Take from it. That pivot. It's cool to DJ. Don't
don't get me wrong, don't DJ.

Speaker 5 (26:09):
Your whole life.

Speaker 1 (26:13):
Runs though everybody had a run. Everybody had a run.
So it's about where you're gonna pivot from.

Speaker 6 (26:20):
And then when you pivot. Yeah, when you pivot, that's where.
That's where to see. When I came into the game,
it was gatekeepers. I had to jump up on all
these gates. Oh you gotta be a radio DJ. You
gotta be a part of a coalition, you gotta all
this ship. I was never part of none of that.
So I jumped over all these gates. Just come back
and break it down for the next generation. And now

(26:43):
it's like now they see it, they see the pivot.
They see, well, I don't have to DJ. Now I
can go into this. Now I can go into that.
When the last time you heard of a DJ that
was a DJ to engineer or producer to management, it
never happened.

Speaker 1 (26:58):
But now I'm here to tell you it came, and
you can you can doing it.

Speaker 2 (27:04):
So like, you know, I appreciate that plug. You got
an interesting one too, because you're also a producer.

Speaker 5 (27:11):
Yep, yep, yep. So you know, we all have had conversations,
you know, about we might get a record like hey
man did what we need to get behind. But for me,
it's a little different because I was making the records
with the artists and then leave the house. I was

(27:32):
doing this at the house, at my mama house. At
that we leave and go to the club and and
play it. You know, it was a it's a million
records that I have touched futures.

Speaker 2 (27:45):
Yeah, from the rich kids.

Speaker 5 (27:48):
From the rich kids on up. You know, they came
from my house and then we go to the club.
But you know, building building your name, being your brand.
You know, for a long time, I never showed my faith.
I didn't want to. I built that ship up. Nobody
knew what I was. They knew the name, they knew
the brand. They didn't know it was me. I'll walk

(28:09):
up and I'd be chilling.

Speaker 6 (28:12):
I do about him, But I never ever know knew.

Speaker 1 (28:18):
My introduction to Savage was a song that he produced.

Speaker 5 (28:24):
Yeah, so oh yeah. First the record Savage rapped on
was my beat picky. You know damn that everybody career
in Atlanta, our generation, I have played a major part
in everybody like whether we make the regular I bet

(28:44):
they're hard. Let's go to the club, or they'll call
me and be like, hey, bro, what you think about
this record? Let's go to the club? You know type
of shit like literally everybody we don't got them calls,
we don't.

Speaker 7 (28:55):
Got them like we got we got and we always
end up in the same room. And then that just
like I might hit plug and be like, hey man,
such a like this. I said, Yo, hey, sent to
me too, Bro, what you think about it? Like you
know what I'm saying? Always end like that, and I

(29:16):
say even for and then just to go into sun
Now I look at it like even for other three
and everybody got something that they can they be doing
it or the DJ and shipped to the point where
fun like to believe or not bro. That way, I
don't get in the arguments about who getting paid, but
be care nigga. I'm me like, you know what I'm saying,
And then what I want to get paid. I'm like,
I'm not getting paid what you get paid? You know

(29:36):
what I'm saying that just like BJ, I don't have
the DJ. So when I do come out of DJ,
like whether I want to DJ for fun or I'm
coming out here to get the big as bad that
y'all gonna throw me, it's it's whatever I want to
do with that point, Like you know what I'm saying.
If I fuck with your party, I might not text
you as a part I don't want to do. You
know what I'm saying that Like me, I love doing
R and B. So you can get me on the
R and B party now if it's something that go

(29:59):
crazy and believe not, when I do R and B,
I get paid money for it. Like now what I'm saying,
you care nigga feel like all right, this nigga here,
he do R and B like that's his ship, So
let me go. And I'm only doing a R and
B party Where the party to that type of you
know what I'm saying, they're like your water like you
know it's I did traffic for three years red like
especially that stupid that R and B party I get

(30:19):
called you.

Speaker 5 (30:22):
So you know what I'm saying.

Speaker 7 (30:22):
Like so when niggas, so when nigga get argued about
oh what you think about DJ getting paid what they
want what they want, you will get paid what you want.
It's just a certain party with niggas fighting to get
on that party and taking let money.

Speaker 5 (30:32):
Bro. And I don't give a about doing them type
of party.

Speaker 1 (30:35):
Bro, you know, you know no more like even.

Speaker 7 (30:38):
But but when when I was doing them type party,
I would getting the phone call. It wouldn't be taking
a lesser bag like that's when he was on the
run though. Yeah, like you say, everybody had they run.
But once you get out that run, you do what
you're comfortable with.

Speaker 1 (30:50):
Bro.

Speaker 5 (30:50):
Like no, I don't DJ in the city no more.

Speaker 1 (30:52):
You know it's crazy about it.

Speaker 5 (30:53):
I don't care.

Speaker 6 (30:54):
You know why I still DJ because I ain't never
had the worst feeling and going on tour and coming
back and feeling.

Speaker 5 (31:00):
Like I was.

Speaker 6 (31:02):
Out of the lace, like the music, like especially with
the way entertainment is now and how fast TikTok move about.

Speaker 1 (31:10):
You go away for a month and you come back
a single time.

Speaker 2 (31:16):
I'm gonna update that library.

Speaker 3 (31:18):
And that's why, that's why it's to go out. That's why.

Speaker 8 (31:21):
Like I was out the other day and I heard
I heard this country song that I know I'm like,
this shit gonna go. Because I was like, man, what
is what? Like I'm telling DJ, I'm like, what a man?

Speaker 5 (31:32):
What boots on the ground?

Speaker 3 (31:34):
Boots on the ground? I said, Yo, what is this?

Speaker 5 (31:39):
He was like.

Speaker 3 (31:41):
I said okay. And then I get a call from
somebody from a label and they said, hey, man, what
do you think about this guy? And I said, what's
the song called? And he said boots on the ground.

Speaker 5 (31:50):
