Boom comes a boom comes the boom.
Speaker 1 (00:40):
Oh my god, man, Vegas, You've taken us all through
like life man for a very long time. You look great, man.
You still look the same from freaking twenty years ago.
Speaker 3 (00:49):
Bro. I tried, man, I try, I try to keep
you know fresh.
Speaker 1 (00:53):
No, you're looking good man. You got this new song
live out right now. Very needed song in twenty twenty five.
Speaker 3 (00:58):
Bro, Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah yeah. Wanted to start out
the year with a positive vibe and something that can
really have the people go in. So it was a
blessing to find something that they're gravitating towards and it's
getting some good feedback, a nice buds.
Speaker 1 (01:10):
Now as an artist that has been doing it for
so long. Obviously, a song like a live twenty twenty five.
We all know reggae takes a little bit. So do
we have a lot of stuff in the can? Are
we ready to go with a lot more music coming
out this year?
Speaker 2 (01:21):
What are we doing?
Speaker 3 (01:22):
I'm working on two projects, three projects. As a matter
of fact, I'm redoing the Headseye album because those songs
are not a bit. The album itself is not available
on social the social platforms people get music from. And
we're working on a dance album that has just strictly
nineties two thousand sounding dance. I love it because we
(01:42):
want to try to get that sound to radio, you know,
where people can dance. I realize people are not dancing anymore.
And then we have this reggae project working on with
one of the top singers in reggae music. Ititana, and
we're in the studio. You're actually the first person I'm
telling this to, and she's incredible. We're just working on
songs that when you hear them and it's going to
be a jam.
Speaker 2 (02:02):
Yo. It kinda is dope.
Speaker 3 (02:04):
She's one of the best singers in danceaul and I'm
just so privileged to work with her.
Speaker 1 (02:09):
Oh that's amazing, man. And we're, you know, talking about
bringing back the ninety two, two thousand. I know, everything
has to evolve.
Speaker 2 (02:15):
Reggae.
Speaker 1 (02:15):
When it started evolving, it started hurting the soul, man like,
it got to a place where it got away from
what we all you know.
Speaker 2 (02:22):
I know again, you guys want to.
Speaker 1 (02:24):
Keep growing and want to keep doing things, and everybody
was sampling something different. But I'm glad it's starting to
come back. And you've always stuck with your roots. You've
always had the you know that you're making the drum
lines and everything. You kept the very, very traditional a
lot of your records. So talk about talk about that
change for a little bit that happened.
Speaker 2 (02:42):
Did you like that change?
Speaker 3 (02:43):
Actually, I get into a lot of problems with when
I'm having this type of discussion because I do not
call it an evolution of dance sol because if it's
going to evolve, it has to have some you know,
some amount of the original sound, true feel. So if
it doesn't have any elements of the original, I do
(03:04):
not call it an evolution. You know, However, people still
call it dance or even if it's sounding like a
hip hop beat, people tends to call it dance aull.
But I don't call it dance all. For me, dance
all is something. As a matter of fact, you can't
call something dance aull and you can't dance to it
because dance all is where people went to dance. That's
what we got. Came by the name dance all. So
if it's something and you can't dance, I can't see
(03:25):
it as dance out, you know. But what the new
generation is doing, I think they're funds. They are the
fan base that loves it. I think they enjoy that
type of music. They're more listening now than dancing. But
where the era that I'm from, we were more dancing,
you know, than listening. So some songs in you realize
years after what the song was really saying. Like to
this day, people still saying exile, and I'm like, I
(03:48):
didn't say exile, just that, you know, people don't even
realize what it's saying. But because the beat is so
contagious and the lyrics is just so catchy, right, people
are just singing it on.
Speaker 1 (04:01):
Right, We were just talking about how like when I
first moved out to the East Coast, the reason I
came out here is because they were playing reggae out
in the radio out here. And you know, I'm a
huge supporter of the culture, and I've been with you
guys for a long time now, and I feel bad
for the young college kids right now that don't get
those basement parties.
Speaker 2 (04:21):
Bro.
Speaker 1 (04:21):
We used to go and sweat, like you used to
come out of these things banging on walls.
Speaker 2 (04:25):
Girls were dancing on you, and it was just a
good vibe.
Speaker 1 (04:27):
It was just everyone respected each other, but it was
about dancing and just coming out of there drenched in sweat.
Speaker 3 (04:34):
Right if you're if you're going to a party and
you're coming out with your ears still looking good, right,
still in duck, there's more sweat and you know nothing,
that means you didn't go to a dance, all right,
take pictures.
Speaker 2 (04:47):
Yeah, you went to a picture party party.
Speaker 3 (04:53):
I don't do foon parties, man.
Speaker 1 (04:55):
Man, I know you were supposed to come out here,
but we got a little weather mess ups over here.
But I still wanted to get you on and we're
just gonna get you out here. I know you move
around a lot. Are you going to get back on
the road. Are we starting to you know, the ogeez
know how to still move when it comes to promoting.
Speaker 2 (05:10):
A lot of that is missing now too.
Speaker 3 (05:11):
I didn't mind the snow, you know, because it's the experience.
I remember when we were promoting a pull Up.
Speaker 2 (05:18):
Yeah, when we're.
Speaker 3 (05:19):
Promoting pull Up, we were on the road in snow storms.
And the experience even though even though people you know
took the record and you know, we had to come
off the road because the label dropped us, But the
experience that comes behind it. I remember that I came
to Boston, I came by your station, yep, and I
went by Chubby Chob and we walked in snow to
(05:40):
our waistline just to hand the record to Chubby Chob
and to come by your station. We were like walking
into snow. And the experience is good because it reminds
us how much we love the music and how much
we will do anything to promote the music. Right, So
I was ready to come in the snow. I was,
and my ticket was bought and then Willie was like, yeah, snowstorm, like,
we're come on with my We've done this a million
(06:03):
I wouldn't mind it because you know, to promote a
reggae or a dance or record. Man, yeah, we know
what that means to the to the genre, right, we
know what it means for mister Vegas to find a
big radio record that is dance.
Speaker 1 (06:16):
All.
Speaker 3 (06:17):
If we find a big reggae or dance al record
you know that's playing a lot on radio or becomes
a cross overheat, then the genre is gonna start moving
in that direction because people are following the trend.
Speaker 2 (06:28):
Well.
Speaker 1 (06:28):
The good thing about the way it has kind of switched,
we didn't have to continue stopping. I mean, me and
you have a relationship, and obviously you know you coming
here would be to all the newer guys and you know,
build that up again and stuff like that. But you know,
it is good that we have this now and you
don't have to do this and you can kind of
be safe.
Speaker 2 (06:45):
But we still want you in the studio and I
know you're gonna come here.
Speaker 3 (06:48):
Definitely, definitely, and we enjoy them them them them link
up and we link up and go by the rest
of aurant, eat some food and chilled. So it's not
just about just coming to give you a record and
be like, Yo, pop direcord to me, is the relationshipship?
Yeah yeah, it's it catch up. It's like, yo, so
what's been going on in the night And we were
(07:11):
like no, no, no, no, no no.
Speaker 1 (07:14):
It definitely is. It's a great excuse to come hang
out and do all that stuff too. Man. So yes, definitely, man,
mister Vegas legendary, mister Vegas is on. You know, I
appreciate you always. You always kept me in in loop
with what you got going on, like with the emails
of the texts, and you know, always you always ask
for honest feedback.
Speaker 2 (07:31):
I love that about you that you want honest feedback.
You've always wanted that.
Speaker 3 (07:35):
Because I don't want to run to raid it with
the record, and the next time I come to raid
it with the record, you'll be like, oh it's Vegas again.
Have to let my people that have had relationships over
the years with them. Yo, what do you think about
this record right now?
Speaker 2 (07:50):
I love that you keep me involved with that.
Speaker 1 (07:51):
And you know, I think a lot of the when
they send you a record, they instantly want you to
say to smash and if you don't, then it's a
big if you.
Speaker 2 (08:00):
No Tella Vegas believen.
Speaker 3 (08:02):
Sometimes a record that we believe in and we think
it's a smash. Yeah, sometimes it's not even that record.
Sometimes there's a record that you know, just like I
remember when we were on the road, we were promoting
Tamali and pull Up, and Tamali was our priority and
pull Up just swooped around it and rest his history.
We're still collecting big checks because Pitt Will took it
to number twenty five on the Billboard.
Speaker 2 (08:24):
But you know, I'm still rocky ords. Bro we all
do you know?
Speaker 1 (08:27):

you do what mister Vegas said, pull Up has to
be played.
