Speaker 3 (00:45):
About just the whole line dance movement from South Carolina.
Speaker 5 (00:50):
It's definitely been going on more than three yeah years.
It just started picking up more and it's like the
past year and a half.
Speaker 4 (00:56):
Absolutely Yeah.
Speaker 1 (00:56):
People don't really get to see the line theres, especially
on the as much. But when I when I DJ everywhere,
you get to see it, and I remember I was
a Charlotte and a girl came up to me. It's like,
can you play the Boots on the Ground. I had
no idea what she talked about. It was a mob
dip song. I was like, is that a mob deep
Boots on the line. I had no idea. It's out

Finding joy learning new line dances, and it would always
be Boots on the Ground with the fans.
Speaker 5 (01:37):
Took everybody, like everybody's mind away from like the you know,
the current, you know stuff that's going on.
Speaker 6 (01:42):
Man.
Speaker 5 (01:43):
So for me, it's like the unity in it. That's
what makes it more appealing for me. You know, you
got thet the two year old, you got the eight
to two year old, you got the everybody, I mean,
Grandmama's auntie that's what makes it more genuine for me. Man.
Speaker 1 (01:57):
The dope thing about it was a lot of the
line dre songs, a lot of older like you're talking
twenty years older. Like when you go to a family
reunion or a wedding or a HBCU, it's always the
Wobble wobble electric slide before I let go and you
played the Beyonce version. And this is something fresh new,
So let's start from the beginning for people that don't
know you.
Speaker 2 (02:17):
Who is eight or three fresh? Where are you from?
And how did you get into this this thing called
the music industry?
Speaker 5 (02:21):
What's going on? Everybody? A through First the kid live
in the building Man, listen from a small town in
South Carolina called Wagner, South Carolina and one Stop signed
One Stop like we all share the same dog.
Speaker 4 (02:34):
Mon's going to be bigger than Wagoner.
Speaker 5 (02:36):
Yeah, yeahs going bigger wagon Man. But started off in
the church man, humble beginners. Man started off in the
church man singing in the choir or whatever. You know,
like the product sun or left away from it, you know,
I went out and I started venturing into like more genres.
Speaker 4 (02:48):
Uh.
Speaker 5 (02:49):
I tapped in the pop attacked in the R and B.
I wrapped a little bit and then I found something
so really southern. So found me, man, been doing about
a year and a half now, man, and it actually
saved my life.
Speaker 7 (02:59):
Man.
Speaker 4 (03:00):
So explain to the people what sufering soul in.
Speaker 5 (03:02):
So the soul is a mixture. It has a like
a fine undertone mixture of gospel, blues, soul, all like
mixed together. Mianda together man, and uh, It's it's only
based in its auth but when you hear it, it's
like feel good music. When you hear it's like that
music that touch your bones and they you know, it's
it's a beautiful thing. You just got to be in
one of that, like one of the events to actually
(03:24):
feel it. It changed the environment totally. You'm saying, we
advocate for a good time, we advocate for unity in that.
And so that's why I I chose to piggyback on
that genre the most.
Speaker 6 (03:32):
Now, Yeah, yeah, saved your life. What were you into before?
Speaker 5 (03:38):
You know, with being in the rap culture, you said
you have to you know, adapt to that, you know,
that raping environment. When I came to Southern soul, you know,
I was battling some stuff. You know what I'm saying,
and it pulled me out of that because of the
good feeling that it had. You're saying, make for me.
Then my mama was she was able to be proud
of it. You know, when I'm rapping, she don't want
it that she couldn't have to understand some of the stuff.
(03:58):
So when she first when she heard my very first
soul song that I dropped the car all night long, man,
and I got that first confirmation from him, I already
knew damn that this was a genre for me. You
know what I mean.
Speaker 3 (04:07):
Do you remember the first record that that made you say, oh,
like the one that touched your soul? What's something the
soul record touched your soul as.
Speaker 5 (04:13):
Far as mine?
Speaker 4 (04:14):
No, just in general.
Speaker 5 (04:18):
Shuts out to King George. Man, he's from down my
way as well. Man. He definitely kicked the door down
for us. Man, Keep on Rolling is like one of
those that you know, really really really punched me, you know,
and it gave me even like some inspiration.
Speaker 4 (04:33):
Bro.
Speaker 5 (04:34):
You know one of those brothers I mean from South Carolina.
I'm saying, he keeped the doll with like wide open
for us. And when I heard that song, I'm saying,
I automatically knew that this was the type of jum
that I wanted to be in. Were you were you
surprised how fast this record card on? Of course, I
mean cause.
Speaker 1 (04:48):
It's it's everywhere and you know, and people are learning
to dance quickly.
Speaker 2 (04:53):
When did you realize how big the record was?
Speaker 5 (04:56):
Man? I woke up one morning, h my TikTok. I mean,
I had so many notifications on TikTok and I GeV you.
I'm saying, I thought somebody had died. So when I
checked it or whatever, I've seen the video. The video
was you know a spot now my away called Sbar.
You know, it's a it's a it's a mecca for
like the line that's you're saying. So I seen that
(05:17):
and it was like maybe twenty videos. I went to
sleep and I woke up it was like five hundred videos,
you know what I'm saying. I knew at that point
right then that it was I might have a little something,
you know what I mean. And over the course of time,
now what't being went but three months almost four months, man,
it is past me. So right now I'm playing catch
up to the song. Everybody have been trying to put
(05:39):
a face with the music. So here I am go on.
Speaker 3 (05:41):
I feel like that's what is Luther King George. I
feel like that's what he hasn't done yet. He hasn't
put a face to his music because everybody listens to
you know, at least down South.
Speaker 4 (05:50):
You see people play a lot of King George music.
Speaker 3 (05:51):
And he a young dude, thirty something years all right, yeah, okay, yeah,
but I'm saying I feel like he hasn't done that yet.
Speaker 4 (06:01):
Don't wonder why, I don't know.
Speaker 5 (06:02):
I mean, timing is everything, especially for me. I mean,
look how long I've been doing music. I've been doing
music for over twenty years. As far as Southern Soul,
I dropped five songs before Boots on the Ground and
then it picked up, you know. So I mean time
is everything. So y'all, y'all definite, stay tuned, y'all, gon
see a lot more of him and a lot more
to the Southern Soul front coming.
Speaker 8 (06:20):
When I noticed it got big was when I seen
kids doing it, you know, it from old people to kids.
Speaker 5 (06:28):
It was everybody got these.
Speaker 8 (06:29):
Kids doing it, and it's something. It's feel good. It's
like music that you had the family reunion and stuff
like that. Did anybody try to like reach out abouth
signing you or anything like that?
Speaker 5 (06:41):
Mercy ig been blowing up Angler crazy. It's definitely been crazy, man.
But you know, we started this company, shots out the
Snake Eyes Music Group.
Speaker 4 (06:49):
Man.
Speaker 5 (06:49):
We started this company, you know, from the bottom up.
You know, we came with a vision. It was just
a vision. And I think that we've done more in
a year than a lot of folks have done. And
like seven years are.
Speaker 1 (07:01):
You are you signed to a major or no? You're
doing everything independent. We all independent, so you get everything
that you Yeah, we've been there. I'm proud of us, man,
I ain't gonna lie proud of us, because you know,
we all learned from each other. You're saying as we move,
we learned, we grow and shuts out the young guy man,
you know, that's why I brought him. He's one of
the United Fronts that were staying with as far as
Southern Soul.
Speaker 5 (07:21):
And they they accepted me with open arms. Man, And
they had been doing it, you know, prid to me,
but they showed me the roles the definitely wouldn't stand
your game, and I can appreciate that, man, so everything independence.
So we're gonna I'm entertaining something, but you're not right.
Speaker 4 (07:35):
Now, how long have you been young guy? Young guy?
Speaker 6 (07:37):
Man, I've been young guys for for a long time years.
Speaker 7 (07:43):
I told her, saying, change my nine the uncle guy
in a man and man. That would be crazy because
folks see me, they're saying, you know you're a rapper,
they're not.
Speaker 6 (07:55):
Then they stay.
Speaker 7 (07:56):
I get on stage and I'm saying some soul for ship,
and they were like, you know, but I kind of
kept my name back from the younger day when I
was a rapping man. So I come when I I
jumped into music, my story kind of, you know, similar
to his.
Speaker 6 (08:08):
You know I've been I've been rolling in the.
Speaker 7 (08:09):
Sut and soul gag probably about it finish two and
a half years now. And power of social media. I
had a record that you know, I was singing in
the garage and hosted it and chined my life.
Speaker 6 (08:19):
You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 7 (08:20):
Instantly, So yeah, man, so I kind of I was
tapped in on the rap side. You like him, man
came up in the church. You know what I'm saying,
Try different things. So far as you me physically doing music. Man,
I stepped away from music. I about fourteen years. So
when I finally just made up my mind, Hey, Finny,
get back in the studio, get it rolling. You know
what I'm saying, proficially, record me a song, sit down
and that that record.
Speaker 6 (08:40):
You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 7 (08:40):
Two regular later, I was driving trust man name drove
a trucking almost year and a half.
Speaker 3 (08:45):
Now, I mean, you stepped down just because of the frustration,
you know, coming from South Carolina. Man, I don't know
if people even realize that there's so many people in
South Carolina who do music, whether it's rap, whether it's singing,
but it's hard for people from South Carolina to get
that break.
Speaker 7 (08:57):
So you just had got frustrated from Mississippi. Man, So
it was you know what I'm saying, it's worth so
from the at.
Speaker 3 (09:04):
Least y'all got y'all got band in krick though yeah
you know we ain't had one yet.
Speaker 6 (09:10):
Y'all got Peter Poplo Man.
Speaker 2 (09:11):
That's North Carolina.
Speaker 6 (09:14):
I tried, but you.
Speaker 4 (09:19):
Got frustrated with the music.
Speaker 6 (09:20):
Are you no man for showman?
Speaker 7 (09:21):
Because when you when you come where we come from, man,
you don't have the resources like that.
Speaker 6 (09:25):
You know, years ago I moved to Atlanta.
Speaker 7 (09:27):
I was gonna, you know, try to be around when
you're not around a music scene, like a music scene
where you know Atlanta. When I moved to Atlanta, man,
they got an open mic on a Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday.
They got you got studios everywhere you can neet where.
You got a lot of people that can that can
connect what you're trying to do. And SIP ain't really
got that. So you think about a Big Krick. Big
Krick came out of uh, you know, shot the Creek.
He came out there. Creek is a one stop shot,
(09:50):
write his own music, produce his own music, the whole nine.
So you know what I'm saying, just yeah for real.
So like you know, you got you gotta have a
little bit more musciple behind you just to get out there.
Speaker 4 (09:59):
You know from the South, how y'all connect?
Speaker 6 (10:01):
Man, We met a couple of coup two years ago.
Speaker 5 (10:05):
I think my very first show out there, that is
I think net iss Mississippi, Man, my first sohul kind
of nervous you're saying me personally, you know, I had
just thought it with some song. So Bro came he
hollered at me, saying, gave me that little pep talk
or whatever you're saying. I show up my shoulders and
did it.
Speaker 7 (10:20):
He came to me like, man, like, young guy, Man,
what I because I was kind of moving pretty good, man,
you know what I'm saying. I had a record that
was that was keeping me busy, and he was like, man,
what what what I gotta do? Advice can you give me?
Was like, man, you know, keep grinding, bro, You're gonna
get that one, and you gonna know you got So
when I heard that Boots on the Ground.
Speaker 6 (10:36):
I called him.
Speaker 4 (10:36):
I said, you.
Speaker 5 (10:38):
Getting ready to be original? You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 7 (10:43):
When I knew it from the first ten seconds ten
seconds of the song, I was like, man, that's this
finna go crazy. And now just see you look on
social media shack dancing to it. You got yeah, like, man,
that is crazy. You know what I'm saying. So it's
it's a blessing. And man, I just proud of my
brother and were just trying to keep it going.
Speaker 3 (10:59):
What inspired Boots on the Ground though, Like like when
you sat down and said you heard that beat and
you're like, this is what I want to write?
Speaker 5 (11:04):
About man. I tell the story all the time. Man, Listen,
I had a show in Phoenix City. It was in
the back of the van. Whatever, say it like this.
I had my I had experience. I had a chance
to experienced my first trail ride last year went the
trail ride. You're saying, A couple of ladies had fans
or whatever. It was hot, so you know they got fans.
So I got a chance to go to my second
(11:25):
trail ride line and see no fans. So I pulled
the question where them fans at? You know what I'm saying.
So with boots on the ground, boots on the ground
is already aligned. That's terminology you're saying. So you know
when they say boots on the ground, you know it's
about to have a party. We just too a down
type of deal. So I just really merged the two
ideas and it became a good marriage.
Speaker 4 (11:41):
What's the trail ride for the people who don't know.
Speaker 5 (11:43):
Listen, man, trail ridse is you know ATVs horses you're
saying that line, desc it's a whole like combination of
all things. It's definitely a coach. It's not really just
an event, you know what I mean? And that's why
I feel like, uh, Southern soul and line answer is
a perfect mixture, you know what I mean. It's a
great marriage. You know. It piggybacks off of one, piggybacks
(12:06):
off of the other. And if you ever come to
the trail right down there, man, I promise you can
have a good time. You might get a little dusty,
which I promise you gonna have a good time. Now,
every time you make a song, is it a line song?
Speaker 4 (12:16):
Now?
Speaker 6 (12:16):
Oh no?
Speaker 5 (12:17):
Okay, see uh see that's one thing I didn't want
to get called in. I didn't want to get caught in,
you know, just being the line, the line at.
Speaker 2 (12:24):
The boot at the boot nigga.
Speaker 5 (12:29):
Yeah, you know. And I've been thinking about you're saying
names for like a EPU or album, whatever you're saying,
And I really wanted to be versatility because I want
to show them on all skills. I got differ skills music.
Speaker 2 (12:40):
But you could do it like you remember how Jamaine
Dupre did back in the.
Speaker 1 (12:42):
Day, Like he had the the All the what was
it called it, The The Beat All Stars where it
was just one album just doing all the uptemper.
Speaker 3 (12:48):
Talking about like the he had a whole album or that,
and then he had a whole album different ways of
doing things, So you could.
Speaker 1 (12:54):
Do that like an anthem like that, because your HBC
you it's gonna be crazy weeks, spring flings, homecomings all that.
They should start boking you now to try to get
the cheapest prices.
Speaker 2 (13:05):
Posbozy, you got.
Speaker 6 (13:12):
To show tomorrow. What is tomorrow?
Speaker 5 (13:14):
Yeah?
Speaker 6 (13:14):
I fly tomorrow, Saturday, Sunday, and Monday.
Speaker 8 (13:19):
You booked on a Monday.
Speaker 2 (13:20):
Yeah, that's what's up.
Speaker 8 (13:24):
I know you don't want to just fall into the
line dance, uh, you know, genre of music, but it's
like nobody has made any that they're great since all
like the five that we got, like but none since then,
(13:46):
and it's like it's it's kind of hard to do,
like you know what I mean. So for you to
just come up with one and just do it just
off of what you felt, you gotta do that more.
Speaker 4 (13:55):
Like I'm tired of.
Speaker 7 (13:57):
That tell people like I felt like my opinion, I
feel like line dances like the new disco. Yeah, you
know what I'm saying, it's a big thing in a
black culture that you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 6 (14:07):
We're just trying to shine light on because you got
you got people who y'all. You know, y'all from the
see it. Man. It makes people from the see that. Man.
I get me some boots.
Speaker 7 (14:16):
Had It's just it's a culture that they shine a
light on so people can experience.
Speaker 6 (14:19):
So it's just lying dances.
Speaker 7 (14:21):
It's been around for a while, but like this don't
got bigger man, they got sell the lot to be
seven thousand people out there.
Speaker 2 (14:27):
You feel African music to African music has it?
Speaker 5 (14:30):
Has it as well? Dance like Jerusalem is a line
dance as Yeah.
Speaker 3 (14:35):
Yeah, that's the thing though the artist like, it's not
like you created the dance.
Speaker 5 (14:40):
No, see, that's that's the sweetest thing about it too.
You said you didn't create the dance.
Speaker 2 (14:44):
The people didn't.
Speaker 5 (14:46):
They choose it. They choose it whether it's going to
be you said a lot dance to it or not.
You know what I'm saying. When they see that on TikTok,
it was like four or five dances, different dances to it.
I'm saying, I reposted once shots out to trade little
when I po that, everybody took on you. I'm saying
to that one because it was real easy. It wasn't
to me a ish, you know, to me, it got
b I'm.
Speaker 7 (15:09):
That's a lot.
Speaker 5 (15:10):
That's it's like the cursive of blindness. Yet you got
your profile yeah, uh dely not intermediate anyway.
Speaker 4 (15:24):
You have to learn your own dance basically.
Speaker 5 (15:26):
Yeah, and I can't that there.
Speaker 1 (15:29):
So you just picked that one. It was like, this
is the one were rocking with. Because if twenty people
said different dances.
Speaker 5 (15:35):
That's why I said that everybody being sync that people
chose it. Man Boots on the Ground was not intended
to be a lot of that song. It was just
blessed to be that way.
Speaker 2 (15:42):
Even with the fan bang bang, like you know, something
that you do when you hate you.
Speaker 5 (15:49):
You know. And I didn't know that fans like the
fans were like a big part of the you know,
the trail scene until I made the song with it,
and now here like you know, ten twenty different on
with fans now what I'm saying. So it definitely is
a part, like a big important part of the culture.
So I think I just revived it.
Speaker 4 (16:06):
Why not the church fan.
Speaker 5 (16:08):
The church fan too. I think that the sales on
church fans is at an all time mab right now. Yeah,
church fans, you know, Amazon. When when I first came
up with the with the song or whatever, they were
just clacking fans. If you go on Amazon right now,
they Boots on the ground fans, hm hm, you got
the little biton got.
Speaker 4 (16:27):
Fans was getting.
Speaker 5 (16:33):
I was like out of here and got on the
ground fans. You know what I'm saying. So it definitely has
been impactful to the culture. Man. I'm just proud to
be a part of it.
Speaker 8 (16:40):
They're gonna be waiting for for them t fans.
Speaker 6 (16:42):
I tell you that.
Speaker 5 (16:43):
Yeah, yeah, out there right now.
Speaker 3 (16:46):
But everybody's gonna be waiting for new music. Do you
got more after Boots.
Speaker 5 (16:51):
On the Ground take something. I got so much music,
I'm saying, And I got music like before I got
you know, our previous catalog. I got five songs that
I dropped. Like I said, I've only been in a
year and a half, you know what I mean. But
as far as the catalog, man, I got a widespread
catalog that's getting ready to come. It was just the
timing was waiting on, you know what I mean. So
I think it's the perfect time for everybody to see me.
And you know what I got the offer versatility is.
Speaker 3 (17:11):
Coming what's the toughest challenge about being an artist from
South Caroline?
Speaker 5 (17:15):
H The weight that's on my back, you're saying, because
not only do I stay, I mean, yeah, boost and
the ground is for me, but I stand with a
lot of weight that I'm carrying as far as like
Southern sold as a whole, because see, this is what
my main part is, and I ain't gonna lie. This
is the reason why I came here. You saying, I
want to I want to make Southern soul that main genre.
You know it's being you know, sublind like it's been
(17:38):
like undertone for so long, and you know that Chickland
circuit has been going on, like you got greats that
came through that Chitlan circuit, like Tyrone Dave, It's Marvel,
See's Changed Brown, There's Muddy Waters. All these guys become
under that Chitlin circuit man, and it hasn't really had
a catalyst for it has been brought to the front.
So I take myself to be a martyr and that
he was saying, I want to be able to display
(17:58):
that as being a main genre and showing that you know,
we're coming with the United Front. I got Sean Mika,
Joe Quail out there, I'm saying, grown ass woman, I
got Frank Johnson out there, you can hate on me.
I got a young guy right here. You know what I'm saying, Like,
take here. These are all very impactful songs to the culture,
and when I bring my boots on the ground, I
want to bring them as well. So that's probably like
the biggest thing as far as like, you know, I'm
(18:19):
carrying that weight and I want to be a good
advocate for them.
Speaker 3 (18:21):
Well, you know, you got to get yourself all the
way through the door first, you know what I'm saying, Like,
that's that's why I think a lot of people fall
through a little bit, because they want to represent for
the whole state and they want to bring everybody with them,
and usually all the people end up weighing them down
before you get to where you.
Speaker 4 (18:35):
Need to be.
Speaker 5 (18:35):

Speaker 3 (19:03):
You know Black Zach, Yeah, Man, little balls rest in
peace speaking. Not because like it's a lot of people
doing it, but I really love what the Southern soul
is doing because that's a whole different genre. And we
call it the Chitlin circuit. Well really, what I call
it is the heart and soul of Black America definitely, bro, Like.
Speaker 4 (19:19):

are in the South.

got to pay attention to a lot of this music, man.
And it's like real life relatable stuff, bro. And it
ain't you know, fabricated, you know what I'm saying, It's
real life relatable things. And I think that's why people
gravitate towards it a little bit more because I'm able
to you saying, oh yeah, I'm going through that right now,
you know what I mean. So I think that's why
everybody has been gravitated towards it. But it's definitely a movement.

represents you that's not Boots on the Ground, what would
it be?

Now, Charlemagne and live Charlan, that song been out for
three years. I'm like Charlomage know, I was talking.
Speaker 3 (00:45):
About just the whole line dance movement from South Carolina.
Speaker 5 (00:50):
It's definitely been going on more than three yeah years.
It just started picking up more and it's like the
past year and a half.
Speaker 4 (00:56):
Absolutely Yeah.
Speaker 1 (00:56):
People don't really get to see the line theres, especially
on the as much. But when I when I DJ everywhere,
you get to see it, and I remember I was
a Charlotte and a girl came up to me. It's like,
can you play the Boots on the Ground. I had
no idea what she talked about. It was a mob
dip song. I was like, is that a mob deep
Boots on the line. I had no idea. It's out
that Louis v Louis. He was like, yeah, I'm gonna
send it to you right now, send it to me.
(01:17):
And then when I played it, I see the went
up moving.
Speaker 4 (01:21):
I said, you know what's crazy. It's crazy as it sounds.
Speaker 3 (01:24):
The current political climate kind of boosted di record too,
because I remember people started posting saying, you know, we
ain't tripping off what this administration is doing.
Speaker 4 (01:31):
Black people are.
Speaker 3 (01:32):
Finding joy learning new line dances, and it would always
be Boots on the Ground with the fans.
Speaker 5 (01:37):
Took everybody, like everybody's mind away from like the you know,
the current, you know stuff that's going on.
Speaker 6 (01:42):
Man.
Speaker 5 (01:43):
So for me, it's like the unity in it. That's
what makes it more appealing for me. You know, you
got thet the two year old, you got the eight
to two year old, you got the everybody, I mean,
Grandmama's auntie that's what makes it more genuine for me. Man.
Speaker 1 (01:57):
The dope thing about it was a lot of the
line dre songs, a lot of older like you're talking
twenty years older. Like when you go to a family
reunion or a wedding or a HBCU, it's always the
Wobble wobble electric slide before I let go and you
played the Beyonce version. And this is something fresh new,
So let's start from the beginning for people that don't
know you.
Speaker 2 (02:17):
Who is eight or three fresh? Where are you from?
And how did you get into this this thing called
the music industry?
Speaker 5 (02:21):
What's going on? Everybody? A through First the kid live
in the building Man, listen from a small town in
South Carolina called Wagner, South Carolina and one Stop signed
One Stop like we all share the same dog.
Speaker 4 (02:34):
Mon's going to be bigger than Wagoner.
Speaker 5 (02:36):
Yeah, yeahs going bigger wagon Man. But started off in
the church man, humble beginners. Man started off in the
church man singing in the choir or whatever. You know,
like the product sun or left away from it, you know,
I went out and I started venturing into like more genres.
Speaker 4 (02:48):
Uh.
Speaker 5 (02:49):
I tapped in the pop attacked in the R and B.
I wrapped a little bit and then I found something
so really southern. So found me, man, been doing about
a year and a half now, man, and it actually
saved my life.
Speaker 7 (02:59):
Man.
Speaker 4 (03:00):
So explain to the people what sufering soul in.
Speaker 5 (03:02):
So the soul is a mixture. It has a like
a fine undertone mixture of gospel, blues, soul, all like
mixed together. Mianda together man, and uh, It's it's only
based in its auth but when you hear it, it's
like feel good music. When you hear it's like that
music that touch your bones and they you know, it's
it's a beautiful thing. You just got to be in
one of that, like one of the events to actually
(03:24):
feel it. It changed the environment totally. You'm saying, we
advocate for a good time, we advocate for unity in that.
And so that's why I I chose to piggyback on
that genre the most.
Speaker 6 (03:32):
Now, Yeah, yeah, saved your life. What were you into before?
Speaker 5 (03:38):
You know, with being in the rap culture, you said
you have to you know, adapt to that, you know,
that raping environment. When I came to Southern soul, you know,
I was battling some stuff. You know what I'm saying,
and it pulled me out of that because of the
good feeling that it had. You're saying, make for me.
Then my mama was she was able to be proud
of it. You know, when I'm rapping, she don't want
it that she couldn't have to understand some of the stuff.
(03:58):
So when she first when she heard my very first
soul song that I dropped the car all night long, man,
and I got that first confirmation from him, I already
knew damn that this was a genre for me. You
know what I mean.
Speaker 3 (04:07):
Do you remember the first record that that made you say, oh,
like the one that touched your soul? What's something the
soul record touched your soul as.
Speaker 5 (04:13):
Far as mine?
Speaker 4 (04:14):
No, just in general.
Speaker 5 (04:18):
Shuts out to King George. Man, he's from down my
way as well. Man. He definitely kicked the door down
for us. Man, Keep on Rolling is like one of
those that you know, really really really punched me, you know,
and it gave me even like some inspiration.
Speaker 4 (04:33):
Bro.
Speaker 5 (04:34):
You know one of those brothers I mean from South Carolina.
I'm saying, he keeped the doll with like wide open
for us. And when I heard that song, I'm saying,
I automatically knew that this was the type of jum
that I wanted to be in. Were you were you
surprised how fast this record card on? Of course, I
mean cause.
Speaker 1 (04:48):
It's it's everywhere and you know, and people are learning
to dance quickly.
Speaker 2 (04:53):
When did you realize how big the record was?
Speaker 5 (04:56):
Man? I woke up one morning, h my TikTok. I mean,
I had so many notifications on TikTok and I GeV you.
I'm saying, I thought somebody had died. So when I
checked it or whatever, I've seen the video. The video
was you know a spot now my away called Sbar.
You know, it's a it's a it's a mecca for
like the line that's you're saying. So I seen that
(05:17):
and it was like maybe twenty videos. I went to
sleep and I woke up it was like five hundred videos,
you know what I'm saying. I knew at that point
right then that it was I might have a little something,
you know what I mean. And over the course of time,
now what't being went but three months almost four months, man,
it is past me. So right now I'm playing catch
up to the song. Everybody have been trying to put
(05:39):
a face with the music. So here I am go on.
Speaker 3 (05:41):
I feel like that's what is Luther King George. I
feel like that's what he hasn't done yet. He hasn't
put a face to his music because everybody listens to
you know, at least down South.
Speaker 4 (05:50):
You see people play a lot of King George music.
Speaker 3 (05:51):
And he a young dude, thirty something years all right, yeah, okay, yeah,
but I'm saying I feel like he hasn't done that yet.
Speaker 4 (06:01):
Don't wonder why, I don't know.
Speaker 5 (06:02):
I mean, timing is everything, especially for me. I mean,
look how long I've been doing music. I've been doing
music for over twenty years. As far as Southern Soul,
I dropped five songs before Boots on the Ground and
then it picked up, you know. So I mean time
is everything. So y'all, y'all definite, stay tuned, y'all, gon
see a lot more of him and a lot more
to the Southern Soul front coming.
Speaker 8 (06:20):
When I noticed it got big was when I seen
kids doing it, you know, it from old people to kids.
Speaker 5 (06:28):
It was everybody got these.
Speaker 8 (06:29):
Kids doing it, and it's something. It's feel good. It's
like music that you had the family reunion and stuff
like that. Did anybody try to like reach out abouth
signing you or anything like that?
Speaker 5 (06:41):
Mercy ig been blowing up Angler crazy. It's definitely been crazy, man.
But you know, we started this company, shots out the
Snake Eyes Music Group.
Speaker 4 (06:49):
Man.
Speaker 5 (06:49):
We started this company, you know, from the bottom up.
You know, we came with a vision. It was just
a vision. And I think that we've done more in
a year than a lot of folks have done. And
like seven years are.
Speaker 1 (07:01):
You are you signed to a major or no? You're
doing everything independent. We all independent, so you get everything
that you Yeah, we've been there. I'm proud of us, man,
I ain't gonna lie proud of us, because you know,
we all learned from each other. You're saying as we move,
we learned, we grow and shuts out the young guy man,
you know, that's why I brought him. He's one of
the United Fronts that were staying with as far as
Southern Soul.
Speaker 5 (07:21):
And they they accepted me with open arms. Man, And
they had been doing it, you know, prid to me,
but they showed me the roles the definitely wouldn't stand
your game, and I can appreciate that, man, so everything independence.
So we're gonna I'm entertaining something, but you're not right.
Speaker 4 (07:35):
Now, how long have you been young guy? Young guy?
Speaker 6 (07:37):
Man, I've been young guys for for a long time years.
Speaker 7 (07:43):
I told her, saying, change my nine the uncle guy
in a man and man. That would be crazy because
folks see me, they're saying, you know you're a rapper,
they're not.
Speaker 6 (07:55):
Then they stay.
Speaker 7 (07:56):
I get on stage and I'm saying some soul for ship,
and they were like, you know, but I kind of
kept my name back from the younger day when I
was a rapping man. So I come when I I
jumped into music, my story kind of, you know, similar
to his.
Speaker 6 (08:08):
You know I've been I've been rolling in the.
Speaker 7 (08:09):
Sut and soul gag probably about it finish two and
a half years now. And power of social media. I
had a record that you know, I was singing in
the garage and hosted it and chined my life.
Speaker 6 (08:19):
You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 7 (08:20):
Instantly, So yeah, man, so I kind of I was
tapped in on the rap side. You like him, man
came up in the church. You know what I'm saying,
Try different things. So far as you me physically doing music. Man,
I stepped away from music. I about fourteen years. So
when I finally just made up my mind, Hey, Finny,
get back in the studio, get it rolling. You know
what I'm saying, proficially, record me a song, sit down
and that that record.
Speaker 6 (08:40):
You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 7 (08:40):
Two regular later, I was driving trust man name drove
a trucking almost year and a half.
Speaker 3 (08:45):
Now, I mean, you stepped down just because of the frustration,
you know, coming from South Carolina. Man, I don't know
if people even realize that there's so many people in
South Carolina who do music, whether it's rap, whether it's singing,
but it's hard for people from South Carolina to get
that break.
Speaker 7 (08:57):
So you just had got frustrated from Mississippi. Man, So
it was you know what I'm saying, it's worth so
from the at.
Speaker 3 (09:04):
Least y'all got y'all got band in krick though yeah
you know we ain't had one yet.
Speaker 6 (09:10):
Y'all got Peter Poplo Man.
Speaker 2 (09:11):
That's North Carolina.
Speaker 6 (09:14):
I tried, but you.
Speaker 4 (09:19):
Got frustrated with the music.
Speaker 6 (09:20):
Are you no man for showman?
Speaker 7 (09:21):
Because when you when you come where we come from, man,
you don't have the resources like that.
Speaker 6 (09:25):
You know, years ago I moved to Atlanta.
Speaker 7 (09:27):
I was gonna, you know, try to be around when
you're not around a music scene, like a music scene
where you know Atlanta. When I moved to Atlanta, man,
they got an open mic on a Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday.
They got you got studios everywhere you can neet where.
You got a lot of people that can that can
connect what you're trying to do. And SIP ain't really
got that. So you think about a Big Krick. Big
Krick came out of uh, you know, shot the Creek.
He came out there. Creek is a one stop shot,
(09:50):
write his own music, produce his own music, the whole nine.
So you know what I'm saying, just yeah for real.
So like you know, you got you gotta have a
little bit more musciple behind you just to get out there.
Speaker 4 (09:59):
You know from the South, how y'all connect?
Speaker 6 (10:01):
Man, We met a couple of coup two years ago.
Speaker 5 (10:05):
I think my very first show out there, that is
I think net iss Mississippi, Man, my first sohul kind
of nervous you're saying me personally, you know, I had
just thought it with some song. So Bro came he
hollered at me, saying, gave me that little pep talk
or whatever you're saying. I show up my shoulders and
did it.
Speaker 7 (10:20):
He came to me like, man, like, young guy, Man,
what I because I was kind of moving pretty good, man,
you know what I'm saying. I had a record that
was that was keeping me busy, and he was like, man,
what what what I gotta do? Advice can you give me?
Was like, man, you know, keep grinding, bro, You're gonna
get that one, and you gonna know you got So
when I heard that Boots on the Ground.
Speaker 6 (10:36):
I called him.
Speaker 4 (10:36):
I said, you.
Speaker 5 (10:38):
Getting ready to be original? You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 7 (10:43):
When I knew it from the first ten seconds ten
seconds of the song, I was like, man, that's this
finna go crazy. And now just see you look on
social media shack dancing to it. You got yeah, like, man,
that is crazy. You know what I'm saying. So it's
it's a blessing. And man, I just proud of my
brother and were just trying to keep it going.
Speaker 3 (10:59):
What inspired Boots on the Ground though, Like like when
you sat down and said you heard that beat and
you're like, this is what I want to write?
Speaker 5 (11:04):
About man. I tell the story all the time. Man, Listen,
I had a show in Phoenix City. It was in
the back of the van. Whatever, say it like this.
I had my I had experience. I had a chance
to experienced my first trail ride last year went the
trail ride. You're saying, A couple of ladies had fans
or whatever. It was hot, so you know they got fans.
So I got a chance to go to my second
(11:25):
trail ride line and see no fans. So I pulled
the question where them fans at? You know what I'm saying.
So with boots on the ground, boots on the ground
is already aligned. That's terminology you're saying. So you know
when they say boots on the ground, you know it's
about to have a party. We just too a down
type of deal. So I just really merged the two
ideas and it became a good marriage.
Speaker 4 (11:41):
What's the trail ride for the people who don't know.
Speaker 5 (11:43):
Listen, man, trail ridse is you know ATVs horses you're
saying that line, desc it's a whole like combination of
all things. It's definitely a coach. It's not really just
an event, you know what I mean? And that's why
I feel like, uh, Southern soul and line answer is
a perfect mixture, you know what I mean. It's a
great marriage. You know. It piggybacks off of one, piggybacks
(12:06):
off of the other. And if you ever come to
the trail right down there, man, I promise you can
have a good time. You might get a little dusty,
which I promise you gonna have a good time. Now,
every time you make a song, is it a line song?
Speaker 4 (12:16):
Now?
Speaker 6 (12:16):
Oh no?
Speaker 5 (12:17):
Okay, see uh see that's one thing I didn't want
to get called in. I didn't want to get caught in,
you know, just being the line, the line at.
Speaker 2 (12:24):
The boot at the boot nigga.
Speaker 5 (12:29):
Yeah, you know. And I've been thinking about you're saying
names for like a EPU or album, whatever you're saying,
And I really wanted to be versatility because I want
to show them on all skills. I got differ skills music.
Speaker 2 (12:40):
But you could do it like you remember how Jamaine
Dupre did back in the.
Speaker 1 (12:42):
Day, Like he had the the All the what was
it called it, The The Beat All Stars where it
was just one album just doing all the uptemper.
Speaker 3 (12:48):
Talking about like the he had a whole album or that,
and then he had a whole album different ways of
doing things, So you could.
Speaker 1 (12:54):
Do that like an anthem like that, because your HBC
you it's gonna be crazy weeks, spring flings, homecomings all that.
They should start boking you now to try to get
the cheapest prices.
Speaker 2 (13:05):
Posbozy, you got.
Speaker 6 (13:12):
To show tomorrow. What is tomorrow?
Speaker 5 (13:14):
Yeah?
Speaker 6 (13:14):
I fly tomorrow, Saturday, Sunday, and Monday.
Speaker 8 (13:19):
You booked on a Monday.
Speaker 2 (13:20):
Yeah, that's what's up.
Speaker 8 (13:24):
I know you don't want to just fall into the
line dance, uh, you know, genre of music, but it's
like nobody has made any that they're great since all
like the five that we got, like but none since then,
(13:46):
and it's like it's it's kind of hard to do,
like you know what I mean. So for you to
just come up with one and just do it just
off of what you felt, you gotta do that more.
Speaker 4 (13:55):
Like I'm tired of.
Speaker 7 (13:57):
That tell people like I felt like my opinion, I
feel like line dances like the new disco. Yeah, you
know what I'm saying, it's a big thing in a
black culture that you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 6 (14:07):
We're just trying to shine light on because you got
you got people who y'all. You know, y'all from the
see it. Man. It makes people from the see that. Man.
I get me some boots.
Speaker 7 (14:16):
Had It's just it's a culture that they shine a
light on so people can experience.
Speaker 6 (14:19):
So it's just lying dances.
Speaker 7 (14:21):
It's been around for a while, but like this don't
got bigger man, they got sell the lot to be
seven thousand people out there.
Speaker 2 (14:27):
You feel African music to African music has it?
Speaker 5 (14:30):
Has it as well? Dance like Jerusalem is a line
dance as Yeah.
Speaker 3 (14:35):
Yeah, that's the thing though the artist like, it's not
like you created the dance.
Speaker 5 (14:40):
No, see, that's that's the sweetest thing about it too.
You said you didn't create the dance.
Speaker 2 (14:44):
The people didn't.
Speaker 5 (14:46):
They choose it. They choose it whether it's going to
be you said a lot dance to it or not.
You know what I'm saying. When they see that on TikTok,
it was like four or five dances, different dances to it.
I'm saying, I reposted once shots out to trade little
when I po that, everybody took on you. I'm saying
to that one because it was real easy. It wasn't
to me a ish, you know, to me, it got
b I'm.
Speaker 7 (15:09):
That's a lot.
Speaker 5 (15:10):
That's it's like the cursive of blindness. Yet you got
your profile yeah, uh dely not intermediate anyway.
Speaker 4 (15:24):
You have to learn your own dance basically.
Speaker 5 (15:26):
Yeah, and I can't that there.
Speaker 1 (15:29):
So you just picked that one. It was like, this
is the one were rocking with. Because if twenty people
said different dances.
Speaker 5 (15:35):
That's why I said that everybody being sync that people
chose it. Man Boots on the Ground was not intended
to be a lot of that song. It was just
blessed to be that way.
Speaker 2 (15:42):
Even with the fan bang bang, like you know, something
that you do when you hate you.
Speaker 5 (15:49):
You know. And I didn't know that fans like the
fans were like a big part of the you know,
the trail scene until I made the song with it,
and now here like you know, ten twenty different on
with fans now what I'm saying. So it definitely is
a part, like a big important part of the culture.
So I think I just revived it.
Speaker 4 (16:06):
Why not the church fan.
Speaker 5 (16:08):
The church fan too. I think that the sales on
church fans is at an all time mab right now. Yeah,
church fans, you know, Amazon. When when I first came
up with the with the song or whatever, they were
just clacking fans. If you go on Amazon right now,
they Boots on the ground fans, hm hm, you got
the little biton got.
Speaker 4 (16:27):
Fans was getting.
Speaker 5 (16:33):
I was like out of here and got on the
ground fans. You know what I'm saying. So it definitely has
been impactful to the culture. Man. I'm just proud to
be a part of it.
Speaker 8 (16:40):
They're gonna be waiting for for them t fans.
Speaker 6 (16:42):
I tell you that.
Speaker 5 (16:43):
Yeah, yeah, out there right now.
Speaker 3 (16:46):
But everybody's gonna be waiting for new music. Do you
got more after Boots.
Speaker 5 (16:51):
On the Ground take something. I got so much music,
I'm saying, And I got music like before I got
you know, our previous catalog. I got five songs that
I dropped. Like I said, I've only been in a
year and a half, you know what I mean. But
as far as the catalog, man, I got a widespread
catalog that's getting ready to come. It was just the
timing was waiting on, you know what I mean. So
I think it's the perfect time for everybody to see me.
And you know what I got the offer versatility is.
Speaker 3 (17:11):
Coming what's the toughest challenge about being an artist from
South Caroline?
Speaker 5 (17:15):
H The weight that's on my back, you're saying, because
not only do I stay, I mean, yeah, boost and
the ground is for me, but I stand with a
lot of weight that I'm carrying as far as like
Southern sold as a whole, because see, this is what
my main part is, and I ain't gonna lie. This
is the reason why I came here. You saying, I
want to I want to make Southern soul that main genre.
You know it's being you know, sublind like it's been
(17:38):
like undertone for so long, and you know that Chickland
circuit has been going on, like you got greats that
came through that Chitlan circuit, like Tyrone Dave, It's Marvel,
See's Changed Brown, There's Muddy Waters. All these guys become
under that Chitlin circuit man, and it hasn't really had
a catalyst for it has been brought to the front.
So I take myself to be a martyr and that
he was saying, I want to be able to display
(17:58):
that as being a main genre and showing that you know,
we're coming with the United Front. I got Sean Mika,
Joe Quail out there, I'm saying, grown ass woman, I
got Frank Johnson out there, you can hate on me.
I got a young guy right here. You know what I'm saying, Like,
take here. These are all very impactful songs to the culture,
and when I bring my boots on the ground, I
want to bring them as well. So that's probably like
the biggest thing as far as like, you know, I'm
(18:19):
carrying that weight and I want to be a good
advocate for them.
Speaker 3 (18:21):
Well, you know, you got to get yourself all the
way through the door first, you know what I'm saying, Like,
that's that's why I think a lot of people fall
through a little bit, because they want to represent for
the whole state and they want to bring everybody with them,
and usually all the people end up weighing them down
before you get to where you.
Speaker 4 (18:35):
Need to be.
Speaker 5 (18:35):
I think that with me, how I present myself, how
I care myself. I care myself as you know A
you know, he's he's a strong front by himself. You know,
it's just I want to be a good representative for him.
You know, It's not that I'm pulling them up. You're
saying the way that I walk, My character is what
you know, It puts it out there like, oh oh,
I like him. Let me see what they got going on.
(18:56):
You know what I'm saying. I let my walk you
were saying speak for me.
Speaker 4 (18:59):
I mean it's I can line to have it in a
moment right now.
Speaker 5 (19:01):
You got trapped, Dicky, Yeah, the traplan.
Speaker 3 (19:03):
You know Black Zach, Yeah, Man, little balls rest in
peace speaking. Not because like it's a lot of people
doing it, but I really love what the Southern soul
is doing because that's a whole different genre. And we
call it the Chitlin circuit. Well really, what I call
it is the heart and soul of Black America definitely, bro, Like.
Speaker 4 (19:19):
That's what all the majority of black people in America
are in the South.
Speaker 5 (19:22):
Don't advocate for violence, man, we advocate for unity like
good time. And you know what I'm saying, You just
got to pay attention to a lot of this music, man.
And it's like real life relatable stuff, bro. And it
ain't you know, fabricated, you know what I'm saying, It's
real life relatable things. And I think that's why people
gravitate towards it a little bit more because I'm able
to you saying, oh yeah, I'm going through that right now,
you know what I mean. So I think that's why
everybody has been gravitated towards it. But it's definitely a movement.
Speaker 3 (19:44):
Man, If you had to pick one song that best
represents you that's not Boots on the Ground, what would
it be?
Speaker 5 (19:51):
You know, that's a tough one, man. One you ain't
got out you Yeah, I don't know, you know, because
like all of them is like a representation to me.
You said, I feel all of them, you know what
I mean? So y'all just stay tunned. Man, ain't like y'all.
(20:11):
Just I got I got so much that's coming behind me.
I don't even know how to pick it, you know
what I mean.
Speaker 6 (20:16):
You're gonna get these Patton, you get these?
Speaker 5 (20:19):

to hire it, you know what I mean. Everybody selling
Boots on the Ground shirts, everybody selling fans or whatever.

they wasn't tapped into it. So everybody is able to
make money. So I just feel like I'm an employer.
You know, I gave everybody I'm saying something that you
can make their money off of. And you know that's
what hit me the most too. You know, Hey, I'm
