If you like hard rock, don't listen to the mix, literally what the hell?
Speaker 2:eh, that's funny. Anyway, the last thing I think we should discuss before we move into the interview is that it is almost time for, I guess, the gate closer if that's a thing of the carnival season. Mm-hmm, mm-hmm, that's the thing of the carnival season, which is Miami.
Speaker 3:Carnival is coming up Miami and one of us is attending.
Speaker 2:Isn't that right?
Speaker 3:RKO. What date are you flying out?
Speaker 2:Yeah, I was going to say we will not make a price question or something, for who it will be, because the answer is too easy. In this case it's not me. Just to clarify to clarify oh, I thought it was you. That's why I was asking you what date you're flying out it's not you again, my god this is becoming very repetitive it's never you sigh.
Speaker 2:Anyway, moving on, the one thing I do really like about miami season if you can call that is that we get, uh, summary mixes, if you can call it that, yes, a mixtape of all the music from all the of the entire year. You get your trini soka, you get your lucia, you get your bashments, you get your dennery, you get everything and what makes obviously job. Had a wonderful season oh yes, there's plenty of that, and I've heard that that grenada is already booked for next year yeah, so you know, if you want to attend.
Speaker 2:Try to find that last spot that's still available.
Speaker 3:But bye, that's some good stuff yeah, I got my flight, but I ain't got a accommodation.
Speaker 2:Yeah, exactly so. Find me all around the nation.
Speaker 3:Yep.
Speaker 2:Making a whole set of bad decisions, and that actually brings us to our song of the month, of this month, and it might be the best bridge we've ever done in this episode, in this podcast.
Speaker 3:Yep.
Speaker 2:The song of the month. This month is sharon's job decisions by vaughn that was a big part of the kicking off of grenada season this this year, I think yeah, yeah, that song was a anthem for many I would say definitely so let's have a listen.
Speaker 3:Let's go.
Speaker 5:This is the song of the month. They try to calm me down. They try to calm me down. They say I can't drink rum. No, can. So much a girl in town. So much a girl in town. That one joke, everybody know I do a behavior. From July, richard and Grenada. I get a flight, but I don't get accommodation. So find me all over the nation Making a whole set of bad decisions Under the counter is a bad decision. I don't care, I'm making jobs. Spice must could never be a bad decision. I do what I'm doing, don't study what I'm doing Under the room. I'm moving.
Speaker 2:Doing what I do it. That was Jap Decisions by Vaughn, actually in the running of my favourite song of the year, but that is something to discuss in December, I guess.
Speaker 3:Big tune, yeah, oh yeah, because we do discuss our song of the year.
Speaker 2:Yeah, of course. Yes, yes, we have been doing this podcast for four years now. Yeah, that's crazy. That is actually crazy.
Speaker 3:I can't believe it's been so long.
Speaker 2:It feels like it was just yesterday I didn't even have a microphone for the first episode oh yeah, we did only like remember how we did like the first episode, and it was only a mix, and then we got back to spotify immediately. Yeah, that was good times we've grown. We've grown we've grown, we've talked more. Yeah, literally, we should be proud of ourselves yeah, we definitely should, but hold on, rko.
Speaker 3:We spoke about me going to Miami, but we don't even know the dates. What's going on?
Speaker 2:I was. I was so flowing into the music. I'm so sorry. I just moved on like I was making some jab decisions there clearly what the hell damn anyway. So what are the dates?
Speaker 3:right. Juve is on the 11th and then pretty mass I guess that's what we would call it is on the 12th. However, I'm gonna be there from the 7th. I want to catch the fetETs in the run up to it. Of course, I am going to be at SSS for sure, which is on the Monday, and I will also be at Boos and Bacchanal, both land and sea. They have two events one on a boat, one in a club.
Speaker 3:I'm going to be at both of those for sure, because I really enjoyed the ones in Barbados and I haven't figured out what else I'm going to do. I don't know if I'm going to go to Circa Brainwash yet or not. I mean, I need to make some decisions.
Speaker 2:You need to make some Jap decisions. Definitely it can never be a bad decision though.
Speaker 3:Never, never. So guys if you are heading to Miami Carnival this year, if you see me in any vets, just come up to me, say hello. I will not bite, I will not be stush, I will say hello, even if I don't know you, I will pretend that I know you, because that's just me. Okay, but Miami Carnival, we're outside, we're outside.
Speaker 2:You're outside, not me, but anyway, yeah, that's it. So, that being said, yeah. I think it's time for our Fourth year anniversary interview.
Speaker 3:I think so. Let's go. Soca Chronicles.
Speaker 2:This is our four year anniversary interview, so you better recognize we didn't just pick a random name. We are here in the studio with well. Studio with trev lee welcome welcome.
Speaker 7:Yes, blessings, blessings how are? You guys still have me sharing this moment with you guys.
Speaker 2:You guys said it again four year anniversary congratulations, first and foremost thank you I feel, yeah, well, it's not, it's you know you're, you're picked for a reason, because there is well, we'll get into it. But there is a song that uh I think, holdy, can I curse?
Speaker 8:you can't curse, right?
Speaker 3:yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm not allowed to curse because I made a new year's evolution resolution about three years ago that I'm gonna stop swearing because I swear so much so I'm gonna try to curse but you curse as much as you want. Please curse for me Three years ago. Yeah, three years ago.
Speaker 2:Oh, she broke it many times, but that's not the point here.
Speaker 3:Hey, stop chatting my business. Don't do that, Don't do that. See, this girl loves to chat man.
Speaker 7:You have the coins like those alcoholic coins, no.
Speaker 8:You don't have the coins.
Speaker 2:AA, but then for swearing I love it. Yeah, that makes sense somebody should do that.
Speaker 3:Yeah, no, I should, I should, but then I'll just keep having to restart again you know I'll get to like 10 days no swearing. And then tell me hold it.
Speaker 7:And then back to day one you're trying to cut. I'm mixing up my words. I'll be mixing up my words sometimes because the Russian does come back and that's my excuse. I'm the one in charge for making you break your rules.
Speaker 3:No, you are.
Speaker 6:You are the reason.
Speaker 3:That's it, plain and simple. Wow, take accountability, please Take accountability.
Speaker 2:But before we take accountability, let's start with the start. Trevly, tell us a bit more about yourself, and especially how you got into soca, because it's not just soca you do, but anyway the floor is yours, wow.
Speaker 7:Well, you see, that's the first time somebody actually tell me that I do soca, so that's very interesting. Oh well, I was born in a place called train, that answer vehicle, all right. So I was born there and about six, seven I moved to the nature isle dominica and that's where I grew up, you know I grew up in dominica and um up in dominica and um. When I finished growing up in dominica I said let me go over to see what demoration is about and I went to russia so what age were you there then?
Speaker 2:like young as well, yeah, wait pause.
Speaker 3:Hold up, hold up, hold up, hold up, hold up, hold up. What so? You were in Russia as in Russia, russia. You were in Russia. Russia Like not. Russia in Trinidad and Tobago, like Russia in Russia. No, no, no.
Speaker 7:Not a place called Russia in Trinidad and Tobago, not a place called Russia in Dominica. I'm in Russia, russia, well, not just call Russia in Dominica. I don't know Russia, russia, well, not right now. Right now, you know, I'm in the Holy Land.
Speaker 3:Okay, so explain to me how long were you living in Russia?
Speaker 7:About 15 years 15 years.
Speaker 8:Yo you say that, like I was in prison, oh my goodness no. Honestly.
Speaker 3:Listen, the shock is shocking right now. Russia, russia, no, no no. I have questions. I have questions, I have questions. Tell me, why beef? Why Did you end up in Russia? I mean, all you want the truth or all you want the? Bullshit that's in there. I don't know.
Speaker 7:I don't know why thief? Why did you end up in Russia? I mean, all you want the truth or all you want the bullshit answer? Do you know what it's?
Speaker 2:only the truth. Oh wait, okay, sharks, go on. Yeah, because you know me.
Speaker 3:I love a bit of BS.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I know.
Speaker 3:Yeah, go on, go on, Give me the.
Speaker 7:BS, I'll give you the truth and all you decide which is which.
Speaker 7:You know I got a scholarship to go to Russia to study. You know like, usually not most, but a lot of the Caribbean islands usually get government scholarships and they send you to places like Russia to study and so on. So I was one of those students who went to Russia and studied, right, Nice, those students who went to russia and study right, um, uh, while studying, while studying I just continued music as a sighting and you know, and um. And then the other reason why any fella does end up in weird places you just go with the flow.
Speaker 3:No, no, no no, no, no, no, but my flow is not flowing to russia. I'm so sorry I am so sorry the reputation that russia has for for for people like us, yeah, so my next question how was? Your experience in russia as a man of color?
Speaker 7:please tell me yeah, I'll tell, I'll tell you straight and I really appreciate you asking me that, asking that question to be honest, because, uh, I mean, I'm not a, a, a russian, what they call it um advertiser. You know, I'm not a promoter of russia, so I don't go around telling everybody anything about russia.
Speaker 7:Uh, only the people who know me of my close family they would ask me, they know I cool and everything good, um, but uh, contrary to what um, the, the theory and the um stereotype of russia is, I mean, as a black man, I feel safer in russia than maybe in central london. To be honest, russia than maybe in central.
Speaker 3:London to be honest.
Speaker 7:No way I'll be dead ass. I'll be straight with you. I have never received any sorts of racism for 15 years in Russia, oh wow.
Speaker 3:Wait, wait, wait. Are you sure?
Speaker 7:I'll say that with absolutely free spirit. I have never, I can never open my mouth and say this was a situation when I felt racism.
Speaker 3:That's insane. But do you know what? Listen, yeah, there's this guy in London. Okay, he's like a TV person, whatever you call them, like a TV presenter, that's the word. I couldn't think of the word, and you would never think that english is my first language and I can't even get the words out likewise a td person come on.
Speaker 3:So the tv presenter, he went over to russia. He made a documentary, okay, and he's a black man. So he went there and the things that we saw in that documentary, that he experienced so much racism and he did not feel safe at all at all.
Speaker 7:I haven't seen it, but I'll definitely check it out. Just to. That is interesting to me because when getting to know these countries like Russia, I mean you have a mindset. When getting to know these countries like Russia, I mean you have a mindset. I ain't gonna lie. The first, my first initial reaction, when I got there, I was like, oh, these motherfuckers kidnapped me, duh what.
Speaker 8:I was like oh yo, skype Skype, eddie Fucking Skype Skype.
Speaker 7:Yo I say oh yo Skype, skype, Eddie, fuck you Skype Skype. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I say yo, yo, you can buy a ticket for me please Get me out. I don't need it, man. You can buy a ticket for me, please.
Speaker 7:That was my initial reaction because I was coming from a Caribbean country, Dominica. You know, I visited the US many times while I was a child and in my teenage years, so obviously I know the difference between I know Manhattan, as Manhattan is, and I know Dominica and going to Russia. I mean the place, not the capital. I wasn't in the capital so I'll be fair. But it's something you have never seen before and it was in the middle of winter, it was freezing cold.
Speaker 2:That's my no-go.
Speaker 7:It was like minus 20-something degrees Celsius. That is crazy. And you're just there. And it was myself and I had three girls with me, so it was four of us who had the scholarships. And my little thinking I am the man of the group I have to protect them.
Speaker 3:Oh, go, go, go go.
Speaker 7:Fuck all of that, everybody for themselves, literally no, because it's something you would never expect to even experience and I'm speaking not out of. There was something harmful for me. It wasn't bad, it was just different. Yeah, exactly, there was no danger at all. There was no danger, nothing at all. It was just different.
Speaker 2:Yep. But I think because you mentioned something that that really like to compare the the two things that you mentioned your story and then the story of the tv person. It also depends on where you end up. I think, like you mentioned, you know the capital is different if. If you end up in certain areas in the netherlands, there will be more racism than you know in other parts of the netherlands, and that's considered you know netherlands, there will be more racism than you know in other parts of the netherlands, and that's considered.
Speaker 2:You know, netherlands is not considered a racist country per se, but it just depends on on where you end up, I guess as well.
Speaker 7:I'm just trying to be in the middle a bit, by the way, but yeah no, no, no, I get that, I get that, I get that, yeah it doesn't depend on where you end up, because obviously I'm not saying that there are definitely no races in russia that would be, as any place, I mean that would be very foolish of me to say such a thing, but I can't see the everyday russian who just lives their lives as our lives yeah, because I had one friend and the thing about the thing about uh, thing about the thing about uh, what?
Speaker 7:I guess that that tv person, the tv person, knew it. Yep, because, um, you see, there I learned that there's different types of racism. I learned that there's an aggressive racism and the curiosity that we might feel like as if it's racism. Yeah, yeah, yeah because, first of all, as a black man in russia, rap culture in russia huge yeah, yeah, I went to a restaurant.
Speaker 7:They think I'm travis scott. I walk into another squad. They think I play basketball oh advantage. I don't know why everybody don't know about that, yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, exactly the reality of it. We cool over there, you know we cool. And then you have the little communities, the dance hall communities and the dancers and things and it's a vibe, but yeah, it's a. It's an amazing place. I mean, my, my, my, um, my popularity wasn't in soka.
Speaker 2:I gained russian popularity before I became popular in in that's what I want to talk about as well, because I've seen on your instagram and I've done a lot for uh, a country that people think is against.
Speaker 3:Yeah, yeah that's actually crazy that, because obviously everybody's has different experiences. Like I lived in Madrid for about a year, had a terrible experience, but then I also lived in Barcelona for a bit and I went in thinking I'm gonna have a terrible experience because of all the things you hear about Spain etc. But I had like the best experience. And I guess for me in Barcelona it was more curiosity experience and I guess for me in barcelona- it was more curiosity like it's like everybody wanted to be my friend because I was black.
Speaker 3:But then in madrid it was like nobody wanted to talk to me because I was black, so it was just like crazy. But then other people have been to madrid and they've not had that experience.
Speaker 7:So I guess, exactly it's just it depends on the person you never know what, um, what, what, what stream, stream of fortune, the universe exactly, yeah, there we go but I love I'm happy to hear, though, that you did not experience racism, because I was very scared for you.
Speaker 3:When I first heard about you in russia, I was I was extremely concerned.
Speaker 7:Yeah, I live my best life in Russia. Russia is crazy cool man. Yeah, and you've shown it because I've seen your Instagram.
Speaker 2:You so you clearly are active in the music scene, because I don't speak Russia myself, but you do. You speak fluently. You're in the music scene in in Russia, not soca, I have to assume, because that might be a bit too niche.
Speaker 7:It's very, very niche yeah.
Speaker 2:What's the type of music you you do in in Russia? Is it like more towards the hip-hop, r&b type of style, or? I've listened to some of the songs, but I guess it's also very Russian ish. If, like this is in there you know what I mean like you can hear, hear, it's the style of russia, if, if that's something you can classify but yeah well, I always had this um, I always loved doing music.
Speaker 7:So when I was doing music, then when I began, uh, and I was supposed to leave actually russia, uh, like friend, he was an um, he's a big blogger big bloggers in Russia and in the world, to be honest. And he was like both of us. We met in the same city where I was studying and I was in Manhattan, and he was in Manhattan and I was about to move because I had finished my degree, and so he's like oh, you want to go back to Russia and make music, like all, all right, let's go, because we love music. So I've always been doing music and you know, so I did some songs and I started writing for his girlfriend, which was the first, you know, the most popular black blogger at that time in Russia. You know, she's a mulatto, she's mixed, then, you know, and so I wrote a song for her and it blew up. So it has always been my thing. Now, okay, so I can write a song in a different language yeah, impressive you know, pushing, pushing for that.
Speaker 7:Did I answer the question?
Speaker 2:I'm sorry, yeah, yeah, no, it's, it's. I mean, we're gonna move to soak, to Soka and to music soon, but this like origin story, if you want to call it. That is amazing Because you've been around. But then maybe last question, before we go back into music how did your decision come to life of moving back to Soka or trying Soka again, or Bouillon, bouillon specifically? Oh well, I mean, I can kind of understand bouillon, of course, because of dominica, but what was the moment you're like, you know what?
Speaker 7:this russian thing is cool, but actually let me, let me try this, this other thing as well well, um, you see, other than writing, putting out music of my own, I put, I do a lot of music. So, other than putting out my own music as an artist in russia, other than writing for other artists and, you know, selling my music, in that way I was also, I still am, actually I just haven't been doing so much. But I'm actually the lead, the lead vocalist and the man in charge for vocals on a sample pack label. Sample packs is I don't know if you guys are familiar. Of course you guys are familiar as a dj, so it's where you get all the songs and for the edms and, uh, a lot of different genres, so single makers, big up single makers, my boy yasha, so, uh, that's my friend's label. So I've been doing the vocals for that sample pack label for a very long time.
Speaker 7:So I have sample packs with my voice in reggaeton in dancehall I try to get them to do the soca and bouya, but I mean in that region not so rich in that as they are. You know, in Amo, piano and different genres, hip hop and so on. So I always, constantly record in different and all different kinds of genres of music. So that goes back to answer the first question you asked.
Speaker 6:Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 7:And yeah, so it all comes down to that.
Speaker 2:So you felt like so how did you start recording? Because I noticed you have like, for the last year or two years you've been doing Soca, or has it been longer than that?
Speaker 7:Ah, that's why you're talking about Soca, because, you heard what you heard. You heard that thing.
Speaker 2:I heard. Well, we're going to talk about songs, by the way. So we can also move there and just ask how you got into the.
Speaker 7:So I decided, yeah, so I feel scattered brain today for some music. So while I was recording all those music, I always paid attention to what was happening, obviously, back home. Yes. I always stayed connected with what was happening back home. I wasn't present in terms of personality, in terms of media or public figure, but I always stayed in touch, obviously, exactly yeah I mean, you guys know right, and I decided that, uh, this year, this year, I said that I was gonna give it, uh, a next shot, because I made an attempt I don't know, maybe some people have heard it, but they might not.
Speaker 7:But I have a song called Tanya out and I don't even know who exactly who heard it, but I never really had the time to focus on Buyo you know, because I had my other attachments in Russia and I made a commitment to do so this year and you have done that yes, you know, and uh, thank god it yeah, that took off differently, but obviously the marketing that you put behind that.
Speaker 3:Yeah, let's start with the top three, because I I really want to move to number one and talk about it.
Speaker 2:But let's start with uh, with three, because I really want to move to number one and talk about it. But let's start with number three because there's plenty to discuss.
Speaker 3:I think it is time to talk music. Yes, let's talk music.
Speaker 2:Yeah, and you are right. So I try to always do my research and I've had to do it a bit more extensively on your Instagram page because it really shows that you have been in music for very long but, like in so in boujon in this case, you've not been there for very long. However, the music you produce is is spot on anyway, even bigger, and I kind of understand now the reasoning behind it. But we'll get to that. On our number three sharon's, you want to do the number three, or should I just do a little disclosure that it's changed a bit because we did some last minute change because of some more research. Anyway, you get to surprise everybody.
Speaker 3:Yeah, so at number three we have foodie, so your collab with problem is a problem so tell us about that especially like how, how you got in in contact with with uh problem child because we we've had him like.
Speaker 2:We discussed him many times on the show oh yeah, a lot of people having collabs as well, and there's always one red line through to all those stories. So, yeah, very curious on that. See if it's the same.
Speaker 7:Well, actually there's this amazing soul that's the best way I can describe her. She's an amazing soul from Dominica called Jael Joseph Right. Jael is one of those people you can talk to for hours and hours about the music industry and the way how the caribbean works and you know the video you know she's very she, she has.
Speaker 7:The way her mind works is very, very cool. So, uh, I found out from problem that, uh, she's the one who suggested. She's the one who suggested. You know that he link up with me, ah, I see yeah yeah, yeah, her podcast, the first one, yeah, the first time. The second one I did was with her, so we had a conversation. So I guess, you know, based off of that, she recommended him to link me with that, and well done, to be honest, you know, because she sees things in different ways.
Speaker 3:So, jael, big up yourself.
Speaker 2:Big, be honest, you know, because she sees things a different way. So, jyle, big up yourself and I think that's, yeah, that's the recognition, right? Because, uh, what we've seen is a red line is that roland child is looking for people who are not afraid to put in the work and who are not afraid to be a bit perfectionist. So they, they, you know, don't stop until it's good, and again we'll get to number one. But judging the work you've put in there, I guess that's a, uh, a good connection there.
Speaker 7:Yeah, yeah, I mean, I mean, I really appreciate him linking up, you know, and his approach to the whole situation was, uh, very cordial. I like. I like that kind of approach when it comes to artists, because we can have different types of uh, you know, interaction. So yeah. I mean, uh, uh, we did it. He wrote a very good tune yeah yeah, very as he does as he
Speaker 7:does uh, I'm happy to be a part of it. Yeah, in the um upcoming time forward, uh, I'll be releasing some of my ideas in terms of promotion towards that tune nice, yeah, nice, hey, I'm sure it's gonna be my alley.
Speaker 2:Oh yes, you, filthy boy you.
Speaker 7:I mean, it wasn't on purpose, oh.
Speaker 3:It wasn't on purpose, alright.
Speaker 2:I'm not sure to believe you, but you know, I think we need to introduce other people to this as well. So I think we should just have other people to this as well. So I think we should have a listen to this song now yes, she love to swallow, love to swallow, every meal.
Speaker 6:Love to swallow. She love food and she barely she love to swallow, love to swallow every meal, love to swallow. She love food and she barely Protein. She's a foodie. She's a foodie. She's a foodie. She love protein. She's a foodie. She's a foodie. She's a foodie. She don't want it in a bowl.
Speaker 8:She want the foodie. She's a foodie, she's a foodie. She don't want it in a bowl, she want the food down in she trout. She only like it when it's hot, she don't like it when it's cold. I said, babe, you not afraid of choking? She swallow. Swallow don't mean no, she like the well, until I drop when I ram it.
Speaker 6:She said problem, here we go. I said yes, I know she love to swallow, love to swallow every meal, Love to swallow. She love food and she barely. She love to swallow, love to swallow every meal, Love to swallow. She love food and she barely Protein. She's a foodie, she's a foodie, she's a foodie. She loves protein. She's a foodie, she's a foodie, she's a foodie.
Speaker 3:She loves protein, irene.
Speaker 2:It's not on purpose.
Speaker 3:Oh, she swallowed by accident. I mean, you tripped and the sausage went in her mouth by accident.
Speaker 7:So technically, technically, technically Problem, wrote that song.
Speaker 3:I mean you tripped and you know the sausage went in my mouth.
Speaker 7:Shifting.
Speaker 3:I'm Shane the glory when I heard it for the first you are doing there.
Speaker 7:It's a clever tune, because when I heard it for the first time, uh the the line where it goes um uh protein, I was like what, I was like what? So I told him I was like yo roti. I was like why roti?
Speaker 2:he's like no protein genius you were hungry at that time, weren't you?
Speaker 7:you were thinking about roti you're like, yeah, so that was foodie and I think it is.
Speaker 2:Nice, nice, nice nice nice Okay. Yeah, man.
Speaker 7:Very well written, tune man. Yeah, it's a big tune.
Speaker 2:So that was Foodie, and I think it is time to move to our number two, sharns. Do you want to do the?
Speaker 3:Numero dos.
Speaker 2:It's not a much cleaner song, to be honest, but anyway.
Speaker 3:I don't think you make clean songs, do you?
Speaker 2:I don't think that's a stigma I want to stick.
Speaker 7:You say you're doing gospel in Russian, that's fine, we believe it. Gospel in Russian that does actually exist. And it's the craziest thing. Oh yeah, I believe it. We ain't going down that route.
Speaker 3:Nah, yeah.
Speaker 7:I don't think that's a stigma. I want to stick man. No, I hear it.
Speaker 2:Well, start making clean music then I was going to say. There's more coming, I assume, but for now our top three Is, you know, not very clean. Let me put it that way, it's nasty business.
Speaker 7:Big up to the originators, yeah right.
Speaker 3:So at number two we have domino so tell us a little bit about that song. How did that song come about? What was the inspiration, etc. Etc.
Speaker 7:I wrote a song, probably in 2018, I think, oh, no, no, no, 2017. I remember wow, okay, so that's a long version of it so I wrote a song. It was a a dance song kind of a feeling, and I had this line there. You know how the thing go bang out on the table like Domino. And it just originated from that.
Speaker 7:So I was in New York and I was just listening to old songs and then I remember that sounds like oh shit, that could be a good Booyah song and it just yeah, clicked. It elevated from that and I started building it out from there.
Speaker 2:Nice nice, nice. So just for context, all these songs so far have been made and released this year, even though you might have had ideas before, but they're all like, recorded, produced and released this year.
Speaker 8:then you might have had ideas before, but they're all like recorded, produced and released this year.
Speaker 2:Then right, yeah, yeah, yeah, exactly, because you said in january, let me try this, this bouillon thing, and and see how far I can get it yeah, because the reason for even starting the bouillon to my little brother, you know, because, uh, I've been in russia for 15 years yeah, you know, so I, I miss, I miss him.
Speaker 7:Him growing up yeah, not into a human being, but you know I miss, I miss the you know, I mean you know and you know he, so he's, he was always my um link to back home.
Speaker 3:Yeah yeah, okay, yeah makes sense, yeah makes sense.
Speaker 7:Or something too. You know, something me and Tren will do. Yeah, I dedicated time and Fire Truck, fire Truck two other songs, they were completely different songs. Fire Truck was. I thought that would be a song Tren would like.
Speaker 2:Yeah, Speaking of which Wait hold on we have to listen to Domino first.
Speaker 4:I can't wait to get the number one. I know, speaking of which wait hold on.
Speaker 2:We need to listen to Domino first. We have to listen to Domino first.
Speaker 3:I can't wait to get the number one, the people are on the edge of their seats.
Speaker 7:like I want to hear this song, Domino is a very, very aggressively arrogant song and with that introduction let's have a listen.
Speaker 8:Yeah, let's have a listen, let's go no-transcript. You can run your mouth how much you want to. You can run and spread all kind of lies. That will never stop my day. I got your bitch in the kitchen. Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang On the table like a domino. Do like a domino. Do like a domino, do oi.
Speaker 3:I got your bitch in the kitchen. Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang On the table like a domino. Do like a domino, do like a domino. Do oi Switch the floor. And that was Domino, very aggressive. You know this stigma that you don't want. I mean you're not doing Very well to you know. Get rid of it. I'm just saying that's just me Adding my Two pence.
Speaker 2:That's what's coming. That's all I can say.
Speaker 7:Like you cannot, like decide on a stigma with only, like, a couple of songs released we have, you know, so many years ahead of us so so much more songs coming to be honest, uh, right now I'm at that point, right where I'm all right, where you really want to take this. You want to take it in the direction of, of where you see it at, or you want to take it in direction of where you see it can be yeah, because I want to see the less.
Speaker 2:Where is it going?
Speaker 7:I it's a, I mean as music musicians I would assume it's for you guys as DJs as well playing a set, you know, a new set of you trying to test out something, yeah, you, you like man, do you want to? You know, will they accept it? But at the end of the day, it's uh, you always have to give your heart first and it doesn't really matter if they accept it or not, you know yeah, for some reason they accept theastin is I was doing it, I'm telling you.
Speaker 2:Listen.
Speaker 2:You know we've had discussions about Sokka changing. Obviously, like Sokka has changed a lot over well, since it started, since it was like discovered, if you want to call it that, or invented, Like it started very different than what it is now. And there is a whole branch of nastiness, if you want to call it that, like out there and it's, it's popular, and I can see why because I'm one side of me is like oh, you know, I want to go back to you know the roots and the nice music and the thoughtful lyrics and in the meantime, in effect, I'm just like bitch. Do you miss me?
Speaker 2:I'm just you know, like it it's it's just you know, you're both.
Speaker 3:But to be fair, bouillon has been filthy for a while, but I didn't realize it until because I went to dominica for the first time last year oh, really oh yeah, listen, I left there, converted. I'm a bouillon babe now. Bouillon babe. Okay, yeah, that's me. Yeah. So yeah, because before that obviously I knew, like you know, push your hand in your and all of that, but and then the old stuff like balance and whatever.
Speaker 3:but I never really paid attention to beyond like did not pay attention and I wasn't really like the biggest fan. And then I went to dominica and I was like hearing the songs and I love nasty business anyway, because that's just me People that know me, yeah, yeah, but I like to act all prim and proper, you know, you know, but I love the nastiness. And I realized oh my God, brionne is filthy.
Speaker 2:Yep, but I think that's a genius behind it, because they word the nastiness in a way that you, if you don't pay attention, you're taking it like the nice way. You're like, oh, you know, like the domino thing, like, yeah, I played domino the other day and I did bang the thing hard, you know. Like you know what I mean. Like there's people that are like, oh, yeah, yeah fair, without actually it's not even like it's actually just raw I know you don't
Speaker 7:have to tell me yeah, I call it raw romance yeah, but there's no innuendos obviously.
Speaker 3:You know like with like obviously soaker, it's more innuendos, and you know yeah but that's it.
Speaker 7:That's the thing, that's it. That is what I believe uh is one of the reasons why booyah is taking front stage, because it's just brutal honesty, yeah exactly, exactly. The whole. You know you can be romantic and you know, but sometimes you just want to fuck and done.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 7:And then whoa.
Speaker 2:No, no, no, Sharns, don't do this, you like what he said. Don't do this, golly.
Speaker 7:My apologies, I'm using bad words in your presence while you're abstaining. I'm here for it.
Speaker 2:I'm here for the honesty and the directness.
Speaker 7:I'm Dutch, so I get to say, yes, do it, because that is the part I cherish about me the most right Because I'm between the two, so I'm Trini and I'm Dominican, but I have the privilege of digging within to pull out different personalities when I need to, and the raw Dominican arrogance yeah, that is what comes out of me and I feel it and it's part of growing up. I think it's one of the most honest and cherished places of nature possible.
Speaker 3:Yeah, definitely. So let's get back to the stigma that you're talking about, that you don't want. You have. Literally, you're giving me the receipts, honey. You're giving me the receipts because, honey, you're giving me the receipts because you're not beating this stigma.
Speaker 7:You're not Okay. Question Question question.
Speaker 3:Are you even allowed to ask a question?
Speaker 7:Yes, I don't know at this point.
Speaker 2:Yes, you are. Yeah, I want to see where this is going.
Speaker 7:You have me doubting myself right now. How, how, how, how, how, how, how, myself right now. How do artists come across these beers like I did just based on, based on? Do you look at them like that is what they're living or is it that is what they are producing?
Speaker 2:that's a very specific question exactly, and this is this is what I think. What I'm trying to say is that if you look at a problem child, he has such a um, like a list of songs he's made. If you listen to all of his songs you will kind of know his style. But we have not a lot of songs yet from you, so you still get to decide your style. Yes, now it's this. But if you find out a new, you know style later on, that can still change.
Speaker 2:Like problem child, if he changed his style, I'll be impressed at this moment, like if he does a full and he can do it because it's problem child. But you know, as an example, any other artist, like if you're in a sort of style, like if you're a little rick, you have a little style, you do and you do it very well and he keeps doing it and it's always amazing. But you know to see him do a full-on, actual job, job song, I'll be surprised. I'm like, okay, impressive, he can also do this. So I think there's always time to change your style.
Speaker 2:So if if your thing, if you enjoy doing it and it's well received, is nastiness, thumbs up, you know do your thing but if you're like, oh, actually I want to also do this little casting, you know, I want to maybe do a little nadia betson thing, yeah, also thumbs up, because I'm sure it's going to be good music, yeah, yeah yeah, it's just interesting because I haven't seen a lot of artists um so diverse in genres, because you usually find soca artists being soca, boyo artists being boyo.
Speaker 7:In terms of my boyo, it most of the time feels like a hybrid because I mean I have, I would feel, in my opinion, soca mannerisms when I, in the way I approach music.
Speaker 2:So it feels, maybe, like a hybrid but you decided in the end, and I think that's the beauty of it as well yeah, anyway okay, speaking of which, yeah, because I'm I I've been waiting for an offer. We're gonna go to number one. I'm sorry, I I need to talk to you, so I'm gonna give a little introduction. Sorry, sharon's, I'm stealing it away from you.
Speaker 3:Do whatever you want.
Speaker 2:You can sue me later, I don't mind. You know you can leave the podcast if you want. Anyway, so this number one song. I have never heard of you before, this song I'll be honest Same same same. However.
Speaker 2:I like Sokca and I keep myself updated and I do that by listening to mixes, by going to these websites that have all the new songs and everything. And I I'm a researcher as a profession, so I like to do research, so I I scour the web and I go and find all these new songs. I didn't find your song on the regular channels, but I found it while I was scrolling instagram. I found this reel of you a very funny one as well about a big batigal somewhere. And the next clip you're being held back by a friend of yours and you're screaming how do you fall? And I'm like what is this? That's fucking amazing. I wonder who points that at?
Speaker 2:you See, that's interesting and I started sharing it with everybody. I knew, like, look, this is cool, you know. And that's just. I realized like, wow, that's such a like new approach for well, not new, I'm sorry, but you did it well, let me put it that way. Yeah, you turn into a viral thing, and if I so, again I've looked at your Instagram and if I look at it, I also recognize the amount of effort you put in it, because it wasn't one, it wasn't two, it wasn't ten. You've been working, my friend. Yeah, there are so many variations and and and like versions of it.
Speaker 3:You have not sit on your couch and did nothing, you, you went out there and yeah, yeah make content so big up for that and yeah, I appreciate it yeah, it's, it's amazing.
Speaker 2:So just to say, number one firetruck um. How did that song come about?
Speaker 7:to go back on the regular, schedule before I answer that question real quick. I was actually telling, telling someone yesterday that so I got a new phone like a month ago and the only pictures in the phone is literally just the videos you've made.
Speaker 7:This is what I'm saying no, not that I've made, that I'm about to make. Oh, there's more. It's just ideas. That just cuts on, and I haven't taken a single picture of the phone. From the phone it's just, um, all of it, big ass is all over the place. You'd swear I'm a kind of a pervert or some. You know the algorithm. Yeah, you understand somebody trying to tell them show you the algorithm. The algorithm don't lie. And you look at my algorithm and you think, like yo, this something wrong with this guy. It's all research purposes, man, that's also what I always say so, I fully understand the original question of how I came up with the idea.
Speaker 7:That's why I tell you it wasn't on purpose. Uh, okay, that day I was planning to record two, two, two songs, one of which was, um, better than you and the other one was same damn thing, right and um, when I was recording them you know I record them and I came right here, right here on that shit and I was, like you know, just looking through some songs from my sample packs and all those kind of stuff there and I heard the siren and from that point to the end of the song it was just such a blur because I had written about an hour and a half from the point I found it yeah, about an hour and a half from the point I found the siren.
Speaker 7:You know I put the bass. You know I put everything because it's a very simple song. The song only has two tongues yeah, you have the drums, you have the bass and then two supporting songs and then the sirens.
Speaker 2:So it's a very simple, very Simplicity is is key sometimes.
Speaker 7:Yeah, yeah, and I'm very, very, I like I'm very, very minimalistic. Uh huh.
Speaker 7:I make songs and I produce. So you know I tend to spend more time on the words, but I try to make them also very, you know, short, tend to spend more time on the words, but I try to make them also very, you know, short and straight to the point. Yeah, and that was the first song. It was done. I exported everything because I mix, master and do everything all the way through, and that was it yeah, it wasn't, though, because that's when the actual promotion started yeah, and because, and if you notice, because, if you notice the way how this song is released, it was my second favorite song.
Speaker 7:My first favorite song was Same Damn Thing, because it was just very honest and you know.
Speaker 2:Yeah yeah, yeah.
Speaker 7:And then I had Fire Truck, second, and Better Than you was in third. Yeah, okay. And. I showed it to three people. I showed it to my cousin dj, infamous uh, my brother tren and my cousin uh madby, and all of them chose fire trucks.
Speaker 2:I was like yeah, whatever let's do public designers, literally and the marketing.
Speaker 3:The marketing that's I mean obviously yeah, talk to me about them, like where did you find the idea for the marketing?
Speaker 7:well, the idea itself is directly from what I said earlier on that. Uh, you know, you can dig into specific personalities and the first idea. Well, I did a few other ideas before, but the one that popped was the one when I was um, you know, the vehicle was cutting free traffic.
Speaker 3:Yeah, yeah, that's the one that I saw behind the wheel yeah, yes, yes, yes, that was funny that's exactly how I drive.
Speaker 7:That's exactly how all caribbean people drive. You listen to what they listen to. I you know. You cause. You're the mother, you know, yeah, yeah, yeah you you know that that is how he is and that's, yeah, that's the picture of who we are as caribbean people. So I just you know, I was just showing how I drive. Yeah.
Speaker 3:Boy Boy remind me not to get in a car with you.
Speaker 6:Honestly.
Speaker 7:Thank you. And that's how and the funniest thing is when I came to New York because I did everything here and I went to New York in April then that's exactly how my brother drives, that's how everybody drives. You just see it like, oh you know. So I was really glad that I caught that moment that everybody could you know real. And then the big bottom ones came automatically right after that. Those ones are hilarious, logical.
Speaker 2:next, conclusion yeah, exactly, it's driving a big. Yeah, it makes sense. I have more questions, but I think we should first have a listen to it, just so that people know what we're talking about. Because we've been shouting this verse for the entire episode almost. But anyway, on our number one Fire Truck. Let's have a listen.
Speaker 8:All you girls with your big bottom, be careful when you reversing.
Speaker 8:All you girls with your big bottom, be careful when you reversing. Cause your bumper. Yes, I like a fire truck, like a fire truck, girl, girl, your bumper, let's go, let's go Like a fire truck. I want to know, tell me how the fuck, how the fuck, am I not supposed to whine on that? How the fuck Am I not supposed to cry on that? How the fuck Am I not supposed to jam on that? How the fuck Am I not supposed to give it work, am I not? Am I not supposed to lift it up? Am I not Take it home and beat it up and beat it up? No, take it home and fuck it up and mash it up. Now, take it home and fuck it up and mash it up. Let's go.
Speaker 8:All you girls with your big butt, be careful when you're reversing. All you girls with your big butt, be careful when you're reversing. Cause your bumper. Yeah, baby, like a fire truck, I'm talking to you. Oh, cause your bumper. You know yourself Like a fire truck. I'm talking to you oh, gosh, you're a bumper. You know yourself like a fire truck, let's go. So tell me, how the fuck am I not supposed to whine on that? Am I not supposed to cry on that? How the fuck am I not?
Speaker 3:supposed to jam on that? Try me. Am I not supposed to tell me how? The Am I not supposed to?
Speaker 8:whine on that. Tell me how the am I not?
Speaker 3:supposed to? Am I not supposed to? Am I not supposed to jam on that?
Speaker 2:and her like how she's doing. It is exactly the videos, you know what I mean.
Speaker 7:Like it's the energy right aggression, but it's true, though, because I do remember when I was making this song, when I was recording this song because the song was recorded in a performance way, you know, because I had the microphone in my hand and so it wasn't standing so I was actually performing this song and in my head I was just, you know, visualizing myself behind a truck you know a real truck, you know a real truck. And then you just like, because it's not going to make sense at all, you know, it's just that, it's just your admiration, yes, I mean.
Speaker 2:Yep, yep, yep, yep, yep.
Speaker 7:You know, I mean it's a song of endearment for sure. Yeah, yeah so there's no light there okay, all right, as as the lady in the room, as the lady in the room, how did that song? What, what, what, what does it mean? What, what, what did you feel?
Speaker 3:What did I feel? So it's just like Damn that batty, big Gotta jam on that. That's what I get. But for me you've called me a lady. I'm as far from a lady as you'll ever get, Because I'm more like one of the mandem. You know what I mean. Like I hang around with a lot of guys, so how I think is like in between like male and female, so I get it Like that batty is huge. Like you know, let me jump on that now. Obviously not me, but as a man, I get it.
Speaker 7:As kids.
Speaker 2:I I mean the first one of my first memories is my cousin them teaching me to wine.
Speaker 7:I mean, you know, I guess, yeah, that's who we are. I mean, I mean and I try to, I try to say in terms of stigma, because the whole question about stigma and so on, but I really always have the urge to say things people would never see love that, love that.
Speaker 3:Yeah, you know your intrusive thoughts win, yeah, yeah when it's scary.
Speaker 7:That's especially for the videos like. I have some videos that yo my mother doesn't be looking at me like where did I go wrong? Kind of a literally. It's when it's scary, like you know, let it go.
Speaker 2:Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. So let me, because we are like talking for quite some time. So I just have one question for firetruck and I will move on to Sharon's favorite question. Uh, on firetruck, did you it was released before? No, it wasn't, of course. Did you notice any like? Uh? No, I was just thinking were you at carnival when it was like there?
Speaker 7:but it was released after carnival, right or in dominica I was, I was here, so I was in jerusalem and, um, uh, I wasn't at carnival. And I always get the thing, the thing about what Carnival does to you, like, you see, right now, like usually when I'm in Russia, it's like, oh, everybody releasing the soca, everybody releasing the soca, for.
Speaker 6:Carnival.
Speaker 7:I have to do something because I'm inspired by everything working and uh, it's the same thing that happened this Carnival, carnival time. Oh, I wish I had a song out. Yeah, yeah yeah, you know what Fuck that? Let's really see one time and then see, Because I planned it to go for next year I said you know what? Gotcha yeah.
Speaker 2:So did you get anything already in the book? So was there any? It got a lot of fame, this song right. So were there any other places that were trying to book you or anything like that? Or is that still something that that we're expecting to start happening for the next season? Maybe?
Speaker 7:uh to book me in sense of like performances yeah, yeah, yeah yeah well, I performed. So. So basically, basically what that did, right? So when firetruck started blowing up and so on, so I went on a promo tour, yeah, I went to New York. So I've been in New York for since end of March. Yeah, so I just reached a big buck, you know, and so I've just been on this promo tour. And then I performed in Dominica.
Speaker 7:I performed for the first time nice yeah and then I performed in um st john's, and then I performing connected, so I I just had like this quick, you know yeah yeah but I, you know, spiral kind of a thing to this. Yeah, you know, and then, uh, I just got back and now it's going to be another weave.
Speaker 2:Yes, exactly exactly, but you have to capitalize on that right, like as soon as it becomes. Yeah, you can't just wait for whatever somebody is deciding to. No, you have to get out there, but you have to jump.
Speaker 7:You know, and I mean obviously, obviously expectations, uh are usually misleading. You know, reality is usually different, Fortunately for me. I had a great experience. I had a wonderful experience with everyone involved, you know. So big blessings and appreciation to God above, because you know, I'm in the music business for a long time, so I know how things operate. You know, I know yeah yeah, and I was blessed enough to avoid, you know those things, and I found my own loophole because you know it's a very keeping kind of a industry yeah, yeah, yeah I was blessed enough to you know.
Speaker 7:Create a a path you know yeah, nice.
Speaker 2:Thank you so much for that. Um, we are moving now to well, sharon's is finally allowed to talk, basically, oh wow because I've been yapping my mouth.
Speaker 7:I'm so sorry. I thought you just want to be throwing jobs.
Speaker 2:Man, you say you be throwing jobs, yeah I didn't give her the opportunity, really exactly he wouldn't let me talk, so how am I?
Speaker 3:supposed to. You know, do my thing, you know, I mean now, it's your time to shine dimmed my light, oh wow I can't shine because I'm just gonna ask one question and then I gotta stop talking again. So, no, this is not my time to shine, rko, so don't do that, okay, anyway, moving on, so this is the final question that we have. We ask this question to everybody who comes on the podcast.
Speaker 3:So the question is if you could be stuck in a studio with any soca or bouillon artist, who would it be and why? And let me just add you're stuck in the studio because outside is very dangerous. So, like you know, maybe there's a hurricane outside or a tsunami, or there's some murderers outside trying to come in and chop your head off, or I don't know. You're stuck in the studio, you can't leave, okay. So who would it be and why?
Speaker 7:um, when you enough have been in that situation somebody was gonna chop your head off.
Speaker 3:Never mind, never mind. Yeah, please, wow, can we just? Yeah let's scoot past that. Come on, let's focus on the question in hand. Okay, thank you.
Speaker 7:Oh, you're Osaka.
Speaker 3:Yeah. Wow. And they could be dead or alive. I forgot to add that they could be dead or alive To anybody, just one. Don't tell me you want to pick two, three, four, five. I forgot to add that they could be dead or alive to anybody, just one. Don't tell me you want to pick two, three, four five.
Speaker 7:So first of all, first of all, I'm a studio rat, so I don't need anything to be stuck in a studio okay, and usually in a studio like. I'm in a studio all the time by myself. So if I would choose, I would choose. I would choose by myself. I have no problem being in my own world, I'm just creating, yeah um, but if I would choose, you know what at this point?
Speaker 7:um, freddy, freddy, definitely freddy. Who's freddy? You? You remember you asked me about freddie? Yeah, and when you find out about freddie you're gonna say, oh, that's freddie, oh, freddie. Freddie is one of the most um, I don't want to say he's underrated, because you're not underrated, you're very, very underrated, but maybe under marketed. Make that shit up. But Freddy, so dope. Freddy have a horrible team. That just. Yeah, I really want you to see Freddy. You have a vibe, you have the artist kind of a thing. It definitely started on. Yeah, anyway, the way you save certain things when it comes to nasty business, it's like okay yeah, yeah so, freddy, and uh, you know, and don't try and pick another artist, it's just one, that's it.
