[00:00:39] Speaker B: Welcome back to another episode of the DJ Blaze radio show podcast. Your boy be easy. Thank you for joining me on this Wednesday's episode. This will be a little interview episode. Well, this ain't a little interview. It's a big interview. Um, but, uh, you know, we missed Monday. Everybody was off. Nobody wanted to do nothing over the weekend other than, you know, cookouts and being streets and stuff. But, um, how was y'all weekend? How was y'all week? No, last week I went to, uh, shout out. My cousin Elle and his son o went to his football game Friday night. You know what I'm saying? We won. We? Yeah, I said we. We won. What else? I do. I've been chilling, watching a lot of television. It's a lot of good shows out watching some stuff on Netflix. Gangs of New York. No, gangs of London. I just got in. It's like two seasons, I think. It came out on AMC. But I've been watching that just started. Chaos. I finally watched that. What's that movie? A quiet place? The one with Lapita. I watched that. Then it's a show called Terminator Zero. It's like an animated show, like, about the Terminator in that world or whatever, trying to get into that. Then there's a new show on Netflix called Chaos. So, yeah, I'm watching that, too. So watching a lot of television. Friday, I got a chance to. Well, I was invited to a listening session for an album release party, and it was Mikea Janae. Now, she's been on the show previously. It's probably a little over a year ago when she was on, she was like a guest host. Yeah, guest host. Guest guest host. And she was talking about pageants and things like that. She was doing a whole lot of stuff she was into. But, you know, she had the album listening session. So I was like, I wonder what. You know, I had a lot of questions about it. Cause you know what I'm saying? You might can find the album that I was on rapping. I spent, like 16 bars on two songs on my homeboy album. But I just wanted to know, like, her creative process. She had a big rollout, and, I mean, the rollout still going. I guess this would be part of the rollout. But anyway, you know, so I had some questions for her, whatever. So we had a, you know, to me, it was an interesting conversation about, you know, her process. And we even played, you know, a couple of the tracks, you know her favorite and my favorite on the album? Whatever. But take a listen. Hope you like it. Email us.

Hold on, let me get my special guest claps for you. [00:05:07] Speaker A: Okay. Collapse. [00:05:08] Speaker B: Hello. Welcome back. [00:05:10] Speaker A: Hi. [00:05:11] Speaker B: Now, the last time, well, let me say your name. My Kia Janae. Last time you were on the show, you were guest co hosting. Guest hosting. We talked about the pageant stuff a little bit, didn't we? Mm hmm. Did talk about the pageants. I don't remember you. I know you said you wanted to do, like, the engineering and stuff like that. I can't remember if you mentioned the singing, but I knew you were a singer. [00:05:39] Speaker A: Mm hmm. [00:05:40] Speaker B: And then recently, well, I feel, to me, it feels like it was recently that you said you're gonna come out with an album. And I didn't have the first thought like I had when a rapper come out and they'd be like, hey, man, check out my album. And I'd be like, oh, lord, here comes some bullshit. But I was, okay, I'm here. She can sing because you've been posting stuff, you singing out, you know, with your band on stage. And I said, okay, she can sing. I said, all right. Got the little moves and stuff, you know, you be doing the moves, you know, so I was looking forward to it, and, you know, so this past week, I got a chance to. I was blessed with the invitation, the private invitation to come to your listening session, and it was wonderful. Now, what got you into singing? [00:06:33] Speaker A: Well, first I was blessed with the gift. Hey, everybody. Church. You know, raised in the church, I was on the praise team. Youth choir. [00:06:46] Speaker B: Praise team. Like, with the paint on the face and doing the stuff? Is that the praise team? Oh, mime dancing. [00:06:53] Speaker A: Did I say praise dancing? [00:06:54] Speaker B: You said praise dance. Praise team. Praise team. [00:06:56] Speaker A: Praise team. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Like the worship team. Praise and worship team. [00:07:00] Speaker B: Okay. [00:07:01] Speaker A: Who leads the people in worship? [00:07:03] Speaker B: Mainly singing. [00:07:04] Speaker A: Mm hmm. Yeah. [00:07:06] Speaker B: You had a lot of solos. [00:07:07] Speaker A: Mm, I had my moments. [00:07:09] Speaker B: It was somebody that Hollersang had the solos, ain't it? Them holler singers get the solo. Anyway, this about you. This ain't about them. [00:07:15] Speaker A: You know, I wasn't a hollerer. [00:07:18] Speaker B: Yeah, yeah. You don't holler. [00:07:19] Speaker A: I try. [00:07:20] Speaker B: Yeah, that ain't your. Yeah, you wait on this album right here. [00:07:23] Speaker A: I'm in a pocket. [00:07:24] Speaker B: You was right there. [00:07:26] Speaker A: Oh, just like in. [00:07:27] Speaker B: Right in it. Boy, I'm gonna tell you, I ain't an r and B dude, but I'm gonna tell you all this album. But anyway, so you started off. [00:07:33] Speaker A: Yeah, in the chat. [00:07:34] Speaker B: Praise team. Church. [00:07:36] Speaker A: And then, you know, one day, I think I asked myself, I was just like, where did I get my vocals from? Of course, from God, you know, but it was just a question. And then my great grandmother, she passed away, and I had to go to Philadelphia for her funeral. And a bunch of this is my father's side, and a bunch of us were in the house, you know, just fellowshiping and stuff. And then these Negroes had the audacity. [00:08:07] Speaker B: To bust out singing, and everybody could sing. [00:08:10] Speaker A: Yeah. And I was like, oh, my God. [00:08:13] Speaker B: The whole family could sing. [00:08:15] Speaker A: And it was tense, and it was really good, too. Like one of those situations. And there's some people on my mom's side who could hold a little tune, too. [00:08:24] Speaker B: But daddy's side. Mm hmm. [00:08:26] Speaker A: Daddy's side for sure. [00:08:27] Speaker B: So I guess I can blame not having a voice on my daddy's side, then. [00:08:31] Speaker A: I mean, that's what you want to do. [00:08:33] Speaker B: I gotta blame it on somebody. [00:08:35] Speaker A: So you can't say you don't think. [00:08:37] Speaker B: You could say, I can hum. I can hum like a mother. Mm hmm. That's a home right now. [00:08:41] Speaker A: I can tell you. I didn't. [00:08:42] Speaker B: No, I ain't wanna give him all that. You know what I'm saying? [00:08:45] Speaker A: Exclusive. [00:08:45] Speaker B: They're exclusive. [00:08:47] Speaker A: I heard that. [00:08:48] Speaker B: Yeah. So the album is you. It's a whole lot with this. Cause she had a whole rollout. You had the clues about the album title. I thought I guessed it right. Now, the title of the album is on everything I love or on everything I love. What led you to that title and the creation of the album? [00:09:21] Speaker A: So I want to answer that question. I want to start off answering that question by saying that I am an individual who moves and acts on things impulsively. [00:09:38] Speaker B: Mmm. [00:09:39] Speaker A: So if I feel something, if it moves me enough, I'm acting on it. Right. Believe it or not, this album was made or became a thing or. I decided I wanted to make an album in, like, march of this year. Some of the clips, like, the first track, 12, 22, 22, was actually an audio clip of me just talking with myself about how I'm just, like, scared. [00:10:05] Speaker B: To be committed out loud to yourself. [00:10:08] Speaker A: Yeah. Like, I just be talking to myself and. [00:10:10] Speaker B: Okay, all right. [00:10:11] Speaker A: Like, impulse. Like, I was just like, you know what? I want to hear myself talk about this. So I just audio recorded, and then I got pieces of, of course, you know, tam. But anyway, long story short, that was probably the oldest clip of that whole project. Everything else was made between the time of, like, the end of March and now, up until the songs were done. Done. Like, I knew the songs for the most part. I lied. The lulu was actually made last year around this time. Oh, I had started it. I started it. And then I was just like, you know, that was a fun song. And then I just kind of pushed. [00:10:50] Speaker B: Oh, so you did the song. Just doing a song, not wanting to do an album. [00:10:55] Speaker A: I mean, of course, I always make music with the idea in mind that I'm gonna one day put this into a project. But the lou was just so fun. Cause I just wanted to talk about that situation. But I just kind of pushed it to the side because I was working on something totally different for you or for somebody, a totally different album. Like, I was working on an ep, actually, and that was supposed to come out in December. It didn't work out, which it'll come out later, but that is in the chamber, that other album. And I paused that one. And then March came, and I just had, like, a whole new revelation. Because as I expressed at the album listening session, I kind of got thrusted into the dating world. I was in my bubble, and it wasn't something that I had planned to do. But, like I told y'all, I was outside in Charlotte streets, and I didn't even mean to be outside. I went in the streets. No, no, no. Let's clarify. I did say that I was outside, but I went in the streets. [00:11:54] Speaker B: Okay? There's a difference. [00:11:57] Speaker A: There is a difference. And that experience, that whole experience of Charlotte, my summer in Charlotte of 2023, birthed this album. [00:12:10] Speaker B: So the date. 12th, 22, 22. Where did that come from? It was just something that happened on that date. [00:12:16] Speaker A: Yeah. It was actually December 22, 2022. I wasn't. I didn't mean to do it that way. I just so happened to record also. [00:12:25] Speaker B: That date is just when you were talking to yourself. [00:12:29] Speaker A: Yeah, but those numbers. If anybody knows me, 222 is, like, my number. [00:12:32] Speaker B: Okay? [00:12:33] Speaker A: Mm hmm. Even in Dululu, I say it in there. I'm, like, seeing the signs all on the side, seeing two, two, two. Like, if you know me, then you know, two, two. Two are my angel numbers. Like, those are the numbers. I'm like, oh, my God. Two, two, two. Like, I actually, before we sat down, I saw 12, 22, 22 on the phone. I screenshotted it, and it's on my phone, like, right before we said that. [00:12:55] Speaker B: That was what time it was, or worse. So you was 22 minutes late, where. [00:13:00] Speaker A: Actually, I was 13 minutes. And do not do as I do. Okay. [00:13:04] Speaker B: No, don't. Don't have me late. [00:13:05] Speaker A: But, you know, somebody did ask me last minute to do this interview, but I'm not gonna. [00:13:10] Speaker B: Ooh. [00:13:11] Speaker A: But I'll be accountable for my part, shady. I'll be accountable for my part. [00:13:15] Speaker B: I gotta. [00:13:16] Speaker A: My part is drop for you. My part is. I could have got up a little bit earlier. I binged watched some episodes with my family last year. [00:13:25] Speaker B: Episodes of what? [00:13:26] Speaker A: Bel air. [00:13:27] Speaker B: Oh, okay. [00:13:28] Speaker A: With my family. I've been neglecting family time, and I really, really wanted to, and I knew I didn't have to work today, so I really wanted to get that in, but I stayed up all night watching, and I'm typically up at 530. [00:13:43] Speaker B: Hmm. Speaking of 530, this don't have nothing to do with 530. So, like, the lyrics on the songs. Did you write all the lyrics? [00:13:54] Speaker A: Every word. Every single word. [00:14:00] Speaker B: Interesting. Cause I have some questions about some of those lyrics. [00:14:04] Speaker A: Let's go. [00:14:06] Speaker B: And the production on the album. [00:14:07] Speaker A: Okay. Not me. [00:14:09] Speaker B: All the production. [00:14:10] Speaker A: So I did. So, like I said, the songs were already made. I kinda. You know, but then I. Josh, antoine, keith, he's like my brother or whatever, and very, very, very musically inclined. He came in and did what a big brother does, and he. I was second guessing myself. I told y'all that at the. At the listening session, that I was just going through a heavy season of imposter syndrome. [00:14:37] Speaker B: Mm hmm. [00:14:38] Speaker A: And so even though I knew what to do, I was just like. Because originally, this project was supposed to come out when I competed for miss South Carolina USA in June. So it was supposed to come out June 2023. And then God was just like, hold up. Pause for the calls. And then my mama came back and confirmed it, which she didn't know. I had that whole conversation with the Lord. But my mom was like, you always trying to build roman one day. And so I said, you know what? I was angry for a slight second, and I got in my car. I said. I said, I'm tired of waiting on everything. I said, I keep working, and I'm waiting on everything. I said, but you know what? Your ways are better than mine. So I'm just shut up. Just let me get my feelings out, and I'm gonna be done. And then, like, a couple seconds later, he gave me a revelation. I was like, oh, my bad. I was like, my bad. [00:15:23] Speaker B: Shout out to Aaliyah. [00:15:25] Speaker A: To Aaliyah. [00:15:26] Speaker B: Yeah, she said no. She said I needed a resolution. I thought she said revelation. [00:15:30] Speaker A: I thought it was Kirk Franklin. [00:15:31] Speaker B: No. Yeah, it was Kirk Franklin. But Aaliyah had a song. I need a resolution. Anyway, it was a bad thing. Brendan, you never heard that song. I'll send it to you. [00:15:40] Speaker A: Okay. [00:15:42] Speaker B: So you did the production, which was wonderful. [00:15:45] Speaker A: Yeah, so I did. I'll say I did 92. 93%. [00:15:57] Speaker B: I think 93 nowadays is an a. [00:15:59] Speaker A: And, you know, they done changed the grading scale, so. [00:16:04] Speaker B: Yeah, that's an a. So that's a lot. 92% is a lot. [00:16:07] Speaker A: Yeah. With the help of splice. So if you're splice is just basically this software or this website where you could go download, like, loops. [00:16:18] Speaker B: Oh, okay. [00:16:19] Speaker A: Yeah. So I don't play live instruments. So you could go down, go on splice, and, like, purchase loops. Well, I have a monthly subscription, and with that subscription, you get so many credits. And so I add, add, add. [00:16:35] Speaker B: Royalty free. [00:16:36] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:16:36] Speaker B: Word. [00:16:37] Speaker A: Yes. [00:16:37] Speaker B: But, I mean, you can have. You actually love it, but you have. I'm not creative like that, but you can have all of that stuff. And if you not creative, you gonna make some trash. [00:16:47] Speaker A: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. So I don't even. Yeah, I won't take that away from myself. [00:16:50] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:16:51] Speaker A: I pieced the hell out of this album. [00:16:52] Speaker B: Yeah, you did. It sounds wonderful. Now, speaking of the album, do you have a favorite track? [00:17:01] Speaker A: My favorite. My favorite track for a long. For a little second was Delulu, but then it ended up being alone. [00:17:12] Speaker B: Let's see. Can we hear a little bit about Delulu. [00:17:15] Speaker A: The lulu? Yeah. [00:17:15] Speaker B: Let's hear a little bit of exclusive of the lulu off of on everything I love. All right, so hold up. You had the guessing and stuff? If you guessed right, do you get a prize? [00:17:30] Speaker A: No. [00:17:31] Speaker B: Oh. That's what Kanye did for the life of Pablo. [00:17:34] Speaker A: Did he? Yeah, man. Everything kind of repeats itself. You think he learned something new and you don't? [00:17:39] Speaker B: That was, like, ten years ago, but he had tlop, and people were supposed to guess, and he gave away, like, a car or something. [00:17:49] Speaker A: I'm ready. What, you thought you was gonna get. [00:17:51] Speaker B: Some candy or something? Well, I did get some fruit and cookies. [00:17:56] Speaker A: Fruit, cookies. What else? Chips, pasta salad. [00:17:59] Speaker B: That would have killed me. I'm glad I didn't eat none of that pasta salad. Oh, you don't eat chips blind? No, I'm allergic. I would have died in front of y'all. I would have room. [00:18:06] Speaker A: I should have told y'all. I was kind of all over. [00:18:08] Speaker B: You was doing stuff. [00:18:09] Speaker A: Yeah, I was. But that's very important because somebody else had a seafood allergy to it. [00:18:15] Speaker B: I saw her looking at it, too. I'm glad she didn't partake. [00:18:18] Speaker A: And what was so crazy is I was just all over the place. But earlier that day, for some reason, she asked. She was like, will there be seafood at your listening session? And it was, like, a couple of hours before, and I was like. And I didn't even see. And I was like, lord. [00:18:35] Speaker B: Mm. Yeah. [00:18:36] Speaker A: I was like, God, you're good. Cause. [00:18:38] Speaker B: So you made that and you set up all of the. [00:18:41] Speaker A: I made the pasta salad. Did you? Well, you said you can't eat it. [00:18:43] Speaker B: I can't eat it. No, but did you, like, like, have it, like, how it was set up and all of that with the little trays? [00:18:50] Speaker A: My sister helped. Cupcake and Deshawna, the girl who had the locks. [00:18:53] Speaker B: Oh, yeah, yeah, they helped me. We found out we was cousins. [00:18:56] Speaker A: Yo, I was gonna ask that. I was like, Pearson. Pearson. [00:18:58] Speaker B: I was like, well, nah, we just got the same last name. So anybody with my last name, the lulu? Yes, please let me know when it's playing so I can. [00:19:08] Speaker A: Okay, I'm about to play it. [00:19:08] Speaker B: Cause I got some questions about the lulu. [00:19:11] Speaker A: We could play the whole thing of Duluth. [00:19:13] Speaker B: No, we just play a little snippet. [00:19:14] Speaker A: Okay, cool. [00:19:14] Speaker B: You know. [00:19:15] Speaker A: All right, here we go. [00:19:16] Speaker B: A little bit. Let me see what I have. [00:19:19] Speaker A: I can't hear it. [00:19:21] Speaker B: There we go. [00:19:29] Speaker A: Oh, my God. [00:19:31] Speaker D: Yeah. I was so lost looking around for love, but I didn't find it. [00:19:43] Speaker B: And that's you right there. [00:19:44] Speaker A: Keep going. [00:19:44] Speaker D: Yeah, that's just searching for something real then perfect. [00:19:48] Speaker A: You gotta make it to the hood. [00:19:51] Speaker D: I ran into you and it was like a magical rain I pray it don't fade. Now he be calling me his baby spending money, making time and I know this crazy baby, can I be your wife? I be like, that's my baby, call me crazy. I just might be the lulu and won't wish it away, wish it away, wish it away I just might be the lulu where you come true, true God, you know my history these men are mysteries they're here, then they're gone but this right here got me lost in the 3d. You know my history these little mysteries one day they hit in their mind he just get through to me. How did he get to me? How did he get this far? He just get through to me. How did he get through this? By this. [00:21:05] Speaker A: Wait, hold it. Keep going. [00:21:06] Speaker D: Keep going. [00:21:08] Speaker A: That's my baby part. [00:21:11] Speaker D: Here we call, I'm down to ride, I'm down to slide to do give me the boss, I be the client, we on the loose, going to lulu, pray come true, true. Seeing the signs all in his eyes, see I'm down the ride, I'm on the slide, tell me what I do. You beat a fine, I beat a clyde, we on a loose, loose. [00:21:47] Speaker B: So what was your motivation for the lulu? [00:21:53] Speaker A: The song is so, uh. It's self explanatory. Um. Oh, don't play that part. Don't play that part. Yeah. Okay. Let them. [00:22:02] Speaker B: Oh, that was the, um. I know. Okay. [00:22:05] Speaker A: Um, the lulu. Like I said earlier, I got kind of thrust it into the dating world. And what I mean by that is like, I was staying in my bubble. And then, you know, I just came across a guydeh who kind of like, just stopped me in my tracks, which is very hard. I'm a tough cookie and I know. [00:22:27] Speaker B: Whatever. [00:22:28] Speaker A: Anyway, I mean, when I say tough, it's not to say I'm not very soft. Cause I'm very soft. And I'm very gentle and I'm very delicate. And I'm all those things. I'm very vulnerable. But, like, that outer shell is crazy. Which is why you got the album cover of me, like, shooting like this. Yeah. Like, that girl right there is hard to get past that. But he got past me relatively quickly. [00:22:59] Speaker B: That had come like a thief in the night. [00:23:01] Speaker A: Okay. And then, so I started, I was like, oh, my God, I think I like the guy. [00:23:09] Speaker B: Like, that's how it happens. [00:23:10] Speaker A: And then it's like he be calling me his baby, spending money, making time. And I know I might be crazy, but can I be a wife? Of course I'm saying that because, like, I only just met you, and you know how women are. You know how women are. [00:23:23] Speaker B: Niggas be like that, too. [00:23:24] Speaker A: They just don't say anything. [00:23:26] Speaker B: They don't say it. No. [00:23:27] Speaker A: You wrote bro code just now. I knew that. I knew that, though. But, you know all the feelings that we feel in the very, very beginning with the person. And so I was like, oh, my God. Like, I might be the lulu, but I pray it come true. True. Like, I pray it come true this time. If I'm crazy, I want to be crazy. [00:23:47] Speaker B: But had it not, if it would have came true, though, we probably wouldn't have got this album. Your next favorite. [00:23:54] Speaker A: You probably wouldn't have gotten this album, and I don't think you would have gotten. No, you wouldn't have gotten this album or anything else I'm doing because that situation, I needed to. That was supposed to be what it was, and then I was supposed to leave that alone. [00:24:12] Speaker B: Speaking of alone, you say that was your next favorite song. [00:24:15] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:24:17] Speaker B: Now, I had a question about it. Was this afro beat inspired? [00:24:22] Speaker A: It was just a loop that I heard on splice that I really liked. [00:24:28] Speaker B: And you put it together? [00:24:30] Speaker A: Yeah, it was very simple. I want to go back to Dululu now. Dululo is all me. So nobody assisted me with that one. [00:24:37] Speaker B: Like, no background vocals or none of that. [00:24:39] Speaker A: Mm mm. Like, nobody. So they helped. Like, I had helped with a couple of others, which I could go through that list. But Dululu is all me. That's that girl. Like, I pieced her together by myself. [00:24:53] Speaker B: Wonderful. [00:24:54] Speaker A: Engineered everything, mixed my vocals. [00:24:56] Speaker B: The bridge was hard on that, too. I did write that down. That the bridge was hard. [00:25:00] Speaker A: Yeah. Like, all that, it was just so. [00:25:02] Speaker B: Fun was that I can't. And I wrote this down, too. It said, green flags become worn and tattooed, too. That wasn't Utah. That was the. [00:25:11] Speaker A: That was Auntie Tam. So, you know, the album is narrated by Tam. The vibe, who was not my real aunt, but she. [00:25:17] Speaker B: Is that what you call her? [00:25:17] Speaker A: She's older than me, and she just called me niece. And I was like, all right, I guess I'm auntie. No, no, no. She was like, she kept saying auntie, auntie because she's the older. She's older than the rest of us in our artist community. And so she kept referencing herself as auntie because, you know, she wanted to let people know, like, look, I'm 40 something, y'all, young, which I'm 30. And so she's only, like, a couple years older than me, but a decade. But I was just like, she wanted to be called Auntie, so I started calling her auntie, and she started calling me niece. Anyway, long story short, I told her randomly one day to send me some audio clip talking about loving relationships. And so that's why she's narrating the album. So on everything I love, narrated by Tam, the vibe. [00:26:03] Speaker B: Yeah, that was a hard line at the end. [00:26:05] Speaker A: Yeah, she said green flag. Now, when she said that and I heard it in, I was like, oh. She was like, green flags become warnings here, too. I was like, that is so true. It's not just red flags that you see at the beginning, but it's just. [00:26:17] Speaker B: Like, yeah, you get tired of people doing the right stuff all the time. Like, you just come home on time all the time. Change it up. [00:26:27] Speaker A: I did not raise you like that. [00:26:29] Speaker B: I'm just saying. [00:26:31] Speaker A: I did listen to this podcast episode last. Sometime last week, and they were talking about how people get tired of their significant others because the extraordinary things that they do, they get used to. He was like, people could do extraordinary things to make your life easier every day, but because it happens every day, you neglect it and you don't. And you think you don't have the best. [00:26:52] Speaker B: Mm hmm. That's a green flag. What she said more than ten. I said, I wrote down tattered, but either way. [00:27:00] Speaker A: Yeah, she said one and tier two. [00:27:02] Speaker B: Oh, they get. Okay. Yeah, yeah. Shout out to them. Green flags. What did it say on a loan? Say, social battery load. Because you're blowing up my phone. [00:27:15] Speaker A: All those. Yeah, social battery load. Cause you blowing up my phone all those people in your dome make me wanna stay home. [00:27:22] Speaker B: Mm. [00:27:23] Speaker A: So it's like. It's not really, like, I'm not talking about society. I'm talking about the society in your head. [00:27:30] Speaker B: In the other person's head or in. [00:27:32] Speaker A: Yeah. In the guy's head. So it's like, social battery low because you blowing up my phone. But, like, battery as in, you see that battery phone. [00:27:40] Speaker B: Yeah, yeah. [00:27:40] Speaker A: You know what I'm saying? Cause you blowing up my phone. All those people in your dome make me wanna stay home. [00:27:46] Speaker B: Cause they think about other people. [00:27:48] Speaker A: Like, basically saying, like, it was just a cute line. I really didn't come across a guy who was like that. It was just a funny line, but. [00:27:55] Speaker B: Oh. But I mean. [00:27:56] Speaker A: But basically, it's just like, all those people in your dome. All those multiple personalities make me want to stay home. [00:28:03] Speaker B: See, I took it. I took it different. That's why I like to get the artist. Cause I took it as them dealing with other people. But yeah, okay. That make more sense. [00:28:13] Speaker A: No. All those people in your dome like your head. [00:28:16] Speaker B: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. [00:28:17] Speaker A: Make me wanna, like, all those multiple personalities make me want to stay home. You know how people saying, like, my social battery law, I need to stay home. That's what. [00:28:24] Speaker B: That's. Yeah, yeah, yeah. [00:28:25] Speaker A: You know, little ping game. [00:28:26] Speaker B: Now, the thing about alone that I did right down. Oh, one thing I did. You said, I'm trying to understand you as a man. You never will, even though men. [00:28:35] Speaker A: But what's to understand if you don't understand yourself? That's the next line. [00:28:40] Speaker B: I didn't. I was typing. [00:28:42] Speaker A: I try to understand you as a man. But what's to understand when you don't understand yourself? [00:28:48] Speaker B: Yeah, I do remember that. Yeah, see, we got a little. [00:28:51] Speaker A: You need help. And then that was the next line. [00:28:53] Speaker B: We got a little acapella. The only gripe with that song is that it's too short. [00:28:58] Speaker A: It is short. [00:28:59] Speaker B: See, I be paying attention. [00:29:01] Speaker A: It is short. And that is my favorite, though. [00:29:04] Speaker B: What, do you have any other favorites? [00:29:08] Speaker A: All of them are my favorites for different reasons. But I am very, very. Roll up was my favorite. But y'all didn't get the fullness of that one because I realized that I left some vocals out of that one, too. And I was like, but it's okay. Y'all will get the full experience when it drops. But that one was my favorite for a while. But black men, I love you. Oh, I told it. It's okay. B M I l y. That's how it's listed on the track list. But black, which stands for black men, I love you. Is that girl, too, like, she's affirmation song? Yeah. I really wanted to take the time to express my empathy. Cause I have deep empathy for not just men. Cause it's not just men, but it's, like, black men specifically, who I have, like, deep empathy for. Because I. [00:29:59] Speaker B: White men not apply this on the song. [00:30:01] Speaker A: No, it doesn't. [00:30:02] Speaker B: I mean, sorry, all my four white homeboys. [00:30:04] Speaker A: I don't wanna lie. But I don't empathize with you because I don't live with you day to day, or I don't. You're not a part of my community. So there is hard for me to have empathy because I feel like most white men don't empathize with black women. I mean, not saying that there is not potential for that. But it's just, as of now, like, I empathize with my people, the leaders of my community, which is black men. [00:30:27] Speaker B: I mean, I ain't got nothing else to say about that. [00:30:30] Speaker A: How did you feel about black men? I love you. [00:30:31] Speaker B: It was very. [00:30:34] Speaker A: Come on, keep on, Buck. [00:30:35] Speaker B: I don't know how. I don't know how some women are like. Cause right now, everybody on the. It don't matter. [00:30:41] Speaker A: What do you like? [00:30:42] Speaker B: I know I like the song. I like all the songs. I like some more than others, but I like all the songs. Like, the album itself don't sound like. It just sounds. It's a great album. I'll just say that it sounds good and all that. [00:30:55] Speaker A: I appreciate it. I mean, I'm here for honesty. I was thinking about the people who were at the album listener session and their response to it, and everybody kept saying, it's such a vibe. Like, it's very dope, or, like, it was very simple, simple word. Like wording. And back in the day, me would have been like, why? Nobody is like, blah, blah, blah. Like, I used to hold people hostage to my expectations, meaning, like, I would want them to respond in a certain way. And social media will have a lot of people thinking that way, like, oh, why they didn't send me five fire emojis and blah, blah, blah. It's just like, no, I want people to organically respond. And so people were very, like, subtle in their response. And back in the day, I would have felt very intimidated by that. But then I thought, like, but now me, it's like, it's so good. Like, people are digesting. [00:31:53] Speaker B: So you, back in the day, you want them to use, like, big words with it and stuff? [00:31:56] Speaker A: Not even big words. I just would have panicked because I thought certain wordings or certain responses were equivalent to success, not realizing that people's genuine response, what they truly feel is the goal. Like, that's the. Like, that's the success. Cause when you get the truth, you know what to do next. I don't. Don't lie to me. [00:32:19] Speaker B: They ain't gonna lie to you anyway, though. [00:32:20] Speaker A: People do lie. [00:32:21] Speaker B: Yeah. Like, people will ask me again, what did I think about the album? [00:32:25] Speaker A: Brandon, what did you think about the album? [00:32:27] Speaker B: It was super califragilistic. [00:32:32] Speaker A: But no, like, I just. I've released people from my expectations, and I. Everybody, I could tell everybody was trying to process. Cause it was. It's a very deep album. [00:32:44] Speaker B: Mm hmm. And I'm shallow. What do you think? My. [00:32:50] Speaker A: Okay, but did I get through to some degree. [00:32:52] Speaker B: Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. [00:32:53] Speaker A: I know I did that. [00:32:54] Speaker B: And the tequila I was drinking. What do you think I had? [00:32:57] Speaker A: Tequila. You must have had tequila before you came. [00:32:59] Speaker B: I had my own. You didn't see me with my own. [00:33:01] Speaker A: Not to be wild, not beer. [00:33:03] Speaker B: Yeah. When I saw that wine and there wasn't no bounce at the door, I was like, oh, yeah, I'm getting. Let me go to my car, get this thermos with tequila. What do you think my favorite song was of the night of the album. And once I tell you, I would ask you to play it. [00:33:25] Speaker A: Everybody else else's was wanna be. Was wanna be yours. [00:33:30] Speaker B: Nope, it wasn't wanna be. [00:33:31] Speaker A: Okay, well, let me guess again. I just knew everybody collectively. Like, was like, oh, yeah, wanna be. [00:33:36] Speaker B: Yeah, that wanna be was good. [00:33:38] Speaker A: Um, I'm gonna say steady. [00:33:45] Speaker B: Yes. Steady. When I first, I was like, damn, that be hard. Made me wanna rap. [00:33:52] Speaker A: It's a r and b, girl. Like, that's like real r and B vibes. [00:33:57] Speaker B: Yeah, that was. Yeah. [00:33:58] Speaker A: Do you want to play? [00:34:00] Speaker B: Yes, ma'am, please do. Play little. [00:34:02] Speaker A: All right. [00:34:03] Speaker B: A little bit of it. Let me know when it's playing too. [00:34:05] Speaker A: Okay. This is my song, steady now. [00:34:08] Speaker B: It's one line that caught a lot of people there. [00:34:13] Speaker A: Attention. At the same time. You know, I had my head down. I was vibrating. [00:34:16] Speaker B: I know that's something too. I was gonna ask you too, like, did you have your head down and at one point you were turned facing the wall? Was that because you didn't wanna look in people's faces, see their reaction or you was just vibing? [00:34:29] Speaker A: I really. Honestly, I really. This is gonna sound rude, but y'all really didn't exist to me in that moment. And I'm gonna tell you why. [00:34:37] Speaker B: It didn't sound rude. It was rude, and I take offense to that, but we gonna move forward. [00:34:42] Speaker A: No, no, no. I wanted to explain why because that was my first time listening to the album in its entirety, so. [00:34:50] Speaker B: Okay, so if that was your first time listening to its entirety, was it? [00:34:54] Speaker A: It was my first listening experience too. [00:34:56] Speaker B: Was it like a. Wait, you arranged the songs in a certain order or you just put them in? [00:35:02] Speaker A: No, no, no, no. So the songs were like, I knew how the album was gonna flow. I knew the transitions. I knew everything. Like, that's how I am as a person. So a lot of things is done in my head before it's, like, really fleshed out. And so I know if I play it over and over and over and over and over and over again in my head, then that's how I'm practicing most of the time. And so I knew the album and I would, like, listen to pieces together, but, like, the album in its entirety, I hadn't heard. I told you. I was working on it up until that. Up until the. Oh, lord. It's okay. I was working on it up until the listening session. Like, that's why I was still kind of running around, because at this point, like, none of the food matters, these headphones. None of this don't matter. The music matters at this point. So I didn't care about sacrificing anything else. [00:35:48] Speaker B: So were you in the back doing stuff? [00:35:49] Speaker A: No, no, no, no. I was getting ready. That's what I'm saying. I didn't have time to get ready. I didn't have time to do anything else because this is my first project that I produced and engineered myself. [00:35:58] Speaker B: That's a lot. [00:35:59] Speaker A: Exactly. And so nothing else really mattered to me. And that's the album title. What? [00:36:04] Speaker B: Nothing else? Really? No. Is that a song about Lauryn Hill? Nothing else really matters to me. [00:36:08] Speaker A: I mean, shoot, that could be. Nothing else matters. [00:36:11] Speaker B: That's an album. I want my credit. [00:36:13] Speaker A: I'm gonna give you a credit. [00:36:14] Speaker B: I want my points. I want points on the package, baby. [00:36:17] Speaker A: I got you. [00:36:18] Speaker B: Give me two points. [00:36:19] Speaker A: Oh, my God. [00:36:19] Speaker B: That's a lot of points. [00:36:21] Speaker A: I don't know. [00:36:22] Speaker B: We need half a point. [00:36:22] Speaker A: I don't know the accreditation system for it. [00:36:24] Speaker B: Don't worry about it. You gonna learn. Well, you come out with that. Cause I want my money, please. [00:36:30] Speaker A: Anyway. But like I said, that was my first listening experience, too, so I knew what to look for, though. [00:36:40] Speaker B: Oh. In the response. [00:36:41] Speaker A: Yeah. So I'm trying. So I'm critiquing it as I'm listening to it, because I'm like, okay, I need to make changes here. I need to make changes there. That's why miss Tanya was like, why do you keep explaining? Cause this is my first time listening to it, and I think I told y'all that. I said, I don't know what it sounds like in this moment in time. It was very important for me to just get it out because, like I said, I was just dealing with some crazy imposter syndrome, and if I would have delayed it any longer, you wouldn't have did it. [00:37:09] Speaker B: What type of imposter syndrome were you going through, though? [00:37:12] Speaker A: So imposter syndrome is basically, like, where. [00:37:15] Speaker B: Well, I mean, I. Well, you can explain it to the person. [00:37:18] Speaker A: Okay. So imposter syndrome is basically for those of you who aren't aware. It's just basically where you have, like, these thoughts and these feelings of, like, feeling like you're incapable when you already have, like, the history and the resume of doing something. Like you are very much capable. But this, like, depression of some sense kind of comes over you, making you feel like you aren't. And it was just crazy. Cause I've never experienced it like that, not to that degree. And I've been fighting for my life this year, like, believe it or not. And I think it's because I'm just doing so many new things and I'm trying to break through to this new version of myself. So that's why I think I was experiencing that. And so me getting it out is me saying, all right, dammit, I did it. So. Yes. [00:38:11] Speaker B: So let's hear a little bit of steady. Yeah, just a little. We ain't got to play it all, but. Because this is my favorite. Okay, well, it was my favorite that night. Okay. [00:38:20] Speaker A: You got it turned up. [00:38:21] Speaker B: Yeah. Yeah. [00:38:22] Speaker A: Okay, here we go. Definitely gotta be meaning these niggas. Cause they don't mind wasting your time, you know, in this way. Who got time for time to be wasted? No. [00:38:37] Speaker D: People feel like life. Why you so uptight? Why you got your fist up? Why you got your things out? Gotta protect my love. What you know about that? What you know about that? When I go swiss blast? Yeah, I wanna go swiss blast. Don't wanna go click clap on you. But you can't roll up on me like that. I feel you. Ready? Go steady. Go steady? Yeah. Are you ready? [00:39:31] Speaker B: I really. I thought a nigga made this bee. [00:39:35] Speaker A: Really? [00:39:35] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:39:43] Speaker A: Seti is that girl. I did see everybody's response with this one. Everybody was just kind of like, okay. I don't think they was expecting it. [00:39:52] Speaker B: To go into that and definitely wasn't expecting. Expecting the line. What? Passenger princess, hand resting on my thigh. [00:40:02] Speaker A: Passenger princess on your right hand relaxing on my thigh. [00:40:06] Speaker B: Yeah, we weren't expecting that so early on. I don't know. And. [00:40:11] Speaker A: Oh, early on, you mean maybe. Maybe, you know, like later in the album? [00:40:14] Speaker B: No, I mean, you know, people had. You might have, like, a expectation of somebody. Of somebody. Yeah, but you threw that out to win the. Early on, when I heard some cursing, I was like. [00:40:26] Speaker A: Yo, no, no, no, no. Oh, my. Which I don't want to give it away, but it is at the beginning when I did that, and everybody laughed. I laughed with them. Like, I was laughing at. Well, I don't want to tell it. [00:40:39] Speaker B: Yeah, don't tell it. But. [00:40:40] Speaker A: Yeah, but it was just so funny because that was a real moment. Like, every time I listened to it, I laughed. You laughed because, like I expressed at the listening session, I've just gone through a painful season, and I'm not a mean person. I'm nothing. A bad person. I don't feel. I try to treat people with the most respect. I try to treat them kind. I try to treat them nice. But I just had a season where a lot of people took advantage of that, and, you know, that was just my season of, you know, okay, we gotta set some new boundaries. And I've never been the one to say that word. But that was before this. What? [00:41:22] Speaker B: That. [00:41:23] Speaker A: What you mean? [00:41:24] Speaker B: What you mentioned. That was before this song. Was that on the first song? [00:41:30] Speaker A: What you mean? [00:41:31] Speaker B: I don't want to spoil it. [00:41:32] Speaker A: I know you don't. Was it. Wait, the experience? [00:41:35] Speaker B: No, the. You actually saying the word on the album. [00:41:39] Speaker A: Oh, that's false. [00:41:42] Speaker B: Was that before this song? That the. Yeah. [00:41:45] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:41:45] Speaker B: Okay. Okay. Okay. [00:41:46] Speaker A: Yeah, but, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. [00:41:48] Speaker B: Okay. [00:41:48] Speaker A: Okay. But that was my way of just getting it out. It's like, I can't. You know, there was a lot of things. There was. I wanted to respond in a lot of those situations in a very aggressive way. Yeah. And I couldn't. And I was like, you know what? Let's just sum it all up. Like, let's just sum it all up and let me get this out. And if you feel like it applies to you, it is you. It is you, and I hope you enjoy it when you hear it. But when everybody laughed collectively, I wish I was so adamant about the transitions and playing the songs back to back. I wish I would have just played each song, like, one by one and explained them, because I felt like I was cutting off your reactions, and because the album is such an emotional rollercoaster, I felt like I didn't really give y'all time to, like, I didn't give y'all enough room in between to really, like. [00:42:47] Speaker B: But I think it is. It's kind of like watching the movie over and over. Like, if you go to the movies and see, you'll miss parts. Cause people laughing or whatever. So probably, like, I made note of the transitions in the song, like, from song to song. Cause some of them, like, kind of went into the next song. [00:43:07] Speaker A: Yeah. And that was why I wanted to do that. [00:43:09] Speaker B: Yeah, but it was kind of, like. Was it Roddy rich? I think he had an album like that where each song, like, it was basically, like, one long song, even though the tempo was changing, stuff like that. Like, one song led to the other. But I think once everybody listens to it again, they'll get to catch that and pick up on other stuff. [00:43:31] Speaker A: And that's what I should have. Remember, they're gonna listen to it on their own, so you don't have to be adamant about these transitions. Now. I think it was more important for y'all to really have that time, but I felt like if I would have left too much time, y'all would have talked about it too much. And I was like, oh, no, I gotta get to the next one. Cause we already running behind, too, so. [00:43:46] Speaker B: Yeah, yeah. So we ain't gonna play all of the songs, but we played a few off the album. Your favorites. My favorite so far anyway. Cause, you know, I might have a Delulu and then Dululu might be my favorite song. [00:44:03] Speaker A: Yeah, I think it's gonna end up changing because y'all gonna be able to hear everything in your own time. You'll be able to pause it, rewind it as many times as you want to, and then I won't be there controlling it. It'll be you. [00:44:16] Speaker B: Mm hmm. Mm hmm. Freestyling over steady. [00:44:20] Speaker A: I did a lot of freestyling on there, believe it or not. I did a lot of freestyle. [00:44:24] Speaker B: Yeah, like freestyle singing. [00:44:26] Speaker A: Yeah, like a yes. And. And the poetry parts where I'm talking, like, wasn't, oh, one written down. [00:44:35] Speaker B: You just. Okay. I did note that on BMI l y. I was like, well, I could tell where she from, cuz all of them news reports. [00:44:46] Speaker A: Well, where am I from? [00:44:48] Speaker B: Dylan. [00:44:49] Speaker A: It was two of them. It was Dylan County, Rob. [00:44:51] Speaker B: Robinson county. Yeah, yeah, yeah. [00:44:55] Speaker A: Which neither is, you know, there. Yeah. But I was born and raised in Robinson County, North Carolina. Lumberton, to be exact. Then my mom got married when I was around, like, 1213. [00:45:07] Speaker B: Oh, then you moved to Delhi, the big city. [00:45:10] Speaker A: Yep. D town. Was that Darlington? I know y'all call Darlington d sound, so no disrespect. [00:45:19] Speaker B: I'm taking it as all disrespect. [00:45:21] Speaker A: Are you from Darlington? [00:45:22] Speaker B: Of course. When d town suede, the song came out. [00:45:28] Speaker A: Oh, it was a thing. [00:45:30] Speaker B: We got into it with some dudes from Dallas. Like, people from Darlington was on YouTube. Cause they was like, y'all ain't no d time. We never heard of y'all. Whatever. Whatever. So it was, like, a whole lot of back and forth between Darlington and Dallas people on YouTube, back when YouTube was first getting started. But anyway, first of all, thank you for inviting me to the listening party. Thank you for the snacks, the free cookies. [00:45:53] Speaker A: Oh, my God.

[00:46:00] Speaker A: I stopped buying so much food. [00:46:02] Speaker B: You got a lot left over. [00:46:05] Speaker A: I had a good bit left over, but trust me, my nephew and my brother at the house is getting ate word. [00:46:11] Speaker B: But yeah, thank you for that. [00:46:12] Speaker A: I had donuts. I had donuts. This. [00:46:13] Speaker B: You had donuts in there? And cookies. [00:46:14] Speaker A: And I'm not. [00:46:15] Speaker B: I mean, cupcakes. Yeah, the whores divorce was in there. [00:46:20] Speaker A: The what? [00:46:21] Speaker B: Whore's divorce. You had a lot of Horace divorce in there. [00:46:26] Speaker A: Explain. [00:46:27] Speaker B: You didn't have whore's divorce. [00:46:28] Speaker A: What's whore's divorce? [00:46:29] Speaker B: Little finger foods. [00:46:31] Speaker A: That's what it's called. [00:46:32] Speaker B: Yeah, whores divorce. [00:46:33] Speaker A: Whores. [00:46:33] Speaker B: Whores divorce. [00:46:34] Speaker A: Divorce. [00:46:35] Speaker B: Yeah. Fruit. You know, I'm a watermelon. [00:46:38] Speaker A: I gotta look this one up. [00:46:39] Speaker B: You never heard of whores divorce? Hors d'oeuvres. [00:46:44] Speaker A: Exactly. Exactly. I know. [00:46:49] Speaker B: But, yeah, you know, the album comes out when. [00:46:52] Speaker A: So you can listen to it exclusively this Friday, September 6, on my app. [00:47:00] Speaker B: On your app? [00:47:01] Speaker A: Download the Mykea Janae app. And I do want to note that if you have an Android phone, you need to download the spaces app and use code. Lmmesh. That's l m m e s h. But if you are a iPhone user, you could just go to your app store and search my Kia Janae. I'm in the process of, like, getting some things settled with Google. [00:47:25] Speaker B: Oh, okay. [00:47:26] Speaker A: Yeah, my Google. Yeah, my Google review. And things are still going on with that, so I'm still waiting for that to be. It's submitted, but. And I've actually submitted both at the same time, but Apple approved it first. [00:47:38] Speaker B: Would you be, would you want people to listen more on your album? I mean, on your app or on streaming? [00:47:44] Speaker A: Oh, so I meant to say that. So September 13, the following Friday. Next Friday is for the general public. [00:47:51] Speaker B: Of course. [00:47:52] Speaker A: I'm gonna tell you to go to my app. [00:47:53] Speaker B: Okay. [00:47:54] Speaker A: Yeah. That was all a part of the rollout, like, you know, because it's like, I'm giving. Music is free for the most part. You know, we create our art and we put it out and we want responses from people, but I just don't, I don't want my return to be limited to just responses. No, I'm trying to build something here. So let me make this exclusive if you really want it. And this is me kind of weening out the people who really want it, who don't because I'm trying to build my community. Like, people who really, really want to follow me or really want to support me, I'm trying to get to. I'm trying to serve those people first. And so if I could kind of get them here, then it's like, okay, then I could focus on them. And then the general public, they'll get, you know, they'll get what they get. They still gonna get some good stuff, but, you know, my community is gonna get my heart, because I'm just to the point now where I don't want to exploit myself anymore. I feel like the Internet. [00:48:55] Speaker B: You feel like you exploited yourself? [00:48:57] Speaker A: Not, not like anything crazy, but I do feel like social media now, there's, like, this energy where it's like, just, I don't know, everybody's kind of, like, bending over backwards to a sense where it's not being as organic anymore. It's like everybody's starting to. I think I told you this at the listening session. I was like, I got to the point where I was like, I'm tired of hearing people talk and myself, like, everybody just need to shut up. And so I took a break from social media, and that's when I started building the app. So I'll still use Instagram. I'm not even, like, doing the most on all platforms anymore. That's what I mean by exploiting myself. Like, I was just doing the most, just trying to get everybody's attention. When it's like, I'm not for everybody, I'm not for the masses. Like, when it gets to the point where the masses might know about me, then that's cool. But right now, I'm building my community brick by brick. And so I'll use Instagram to draw people into my app and build my little community, my role. [00:50:02] Speaker B: So you have the album coming. You got an app. What else you have? What do you mean, what else you have? You working on some other stuff. [00:50:10] Speaker A: How you know that? [00:50:12] Speaker B: I can tell. [00:50:12] Speaker A: How? [00:50:13] Speaker B: Cause you said that all of the stuff you working on is in your head first, and your head looks swollen and full. So, Brandon, it looks like it's some stuff in there working. So you gotta. [00:50:28] Speaker A: So, yes, I can't tell you what else I'm working on, but I will tell you what you can expect on the app. So it's not just. Not just you downloading the app to get listen to the album. So a lot of people, if you do not know me, you know, I do a lot. I've music, speaking, pageantry. I was doing that fitness. I have a whole fitness business. What else? I just had my hands in a lot of things. And not only did I just, were I just doing these things, but I was really good at all the things. [00:51:03] Speaker B: Talk your shit now. Talk your shit. Go ahead. [00:51:06] Speaker A: What else are we doing here? [00:51:08] Speaker B: Okay, all right. [00:51:08] Speaker A: I'm 30 now. All right. Ain't no. Oh, yeah. [00:51:12] Speaker B: I'm good at everything. [00:51:14] Speaker A: I am. [00:51:14] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:51:15] Speaker A: And, you know, God could take the gifts of the wife if he wanted to, but he's not. Not right now. He's giving me the instructions, actually. But anyway, long story short, because I do a lot and social media is a lot, it was hard for people to find out. What do I do exactly. So the app is basically my own world where you could figure out what my Kia Janae does. It just kind of like, you know, brings it in a little bit more. So what you can expect on the app is the Mykea Janae app, the world of your favorite creative muse. And the muse stands for music and music and motivation. So that's like motivational tips, music, of course. The U stands for updates. Updates on my performances, updates on, you know, shows and different things that I'm doing. Because a lot of people, they'd be wanting to know, like, oh, why you didn't tell me you was performing there? [00:52:04] Speaker B: It's on the app. [00:52:05] Speaker A: It's on the app. So the U stands for updates. The S stands for services. So I'm actually going into. Well, not going into, I'm already. I'm very much in it, but helping people with marketing and branding for their own business. So, like, let's just say you want to help with marketing and branding for your platform. I can help you do that because I'm actually the marketing director for my job. And then the e stands for experiences, which is what you experience at the thing. Yeah. And so what I didn't say at the listening session is that I'm now in the silent disco, the headphone business. So making that part of the experience, it's just, you know, it's a cute way to make money. I'm still involved in music and then giving people, you know, an experience and just. It's passive income. So that will be a part of the experience. And so that's what it stands for. A mute of creative world of your favorite muse. The M stands for music and motivation. So I also meant to say on Mondays, you'll get the motivation Monday tip, because I used to do motivation Monday. Excuse me? Motivation tips. Every Monday I got. There was one this morning I can tell y'all what it says. Basically, it just says, one definition for labor is to put much effort into something. My question to you is, what are you putting effort into and what are you working for and what is the return on the investment? So, like, stuff like that. So you'll get a motivational tip every Monday. Like a push notification, literally on your phone at 09:00 every Monday. So that'll be that. And like I said, the U stands for updates. S stands for services. Oh, also services. I said marketing and branding, but jingle services as well. So, like, I create jingle like Osmo vacuums anyway, so I don't even know what. [00:54:03] Speaker B: That's an inside joke. [00:54:05] Speaker A: I can tell. But anyway, theme songs for like your YouTube channel, your shows, or whatever you got going on, I do that as well. And then, like, experiences. Now, I don't do events for people. Like, let's get that clear. It's the Mykea Janae experiences. [00:54:21] Speaker B: Okay, so you weren't set up now for nobody else? [00:54:23] Speaker A: No, I ain't doing that. I'm extra. But I already know what, I know what goes into each of these, and that's why I chose these specifically. I could say I could have full control over these things. You know, I could say yes. No, like a motivational tip. That's auto. Like, I could put it on autopilot. Like, okay, push notification music. That's every now and then updates. I'm just updating y'all what I got going on. Services. That's where I'm gonna be doing the work. [00:54:50] Speaker B: So you put a lot of thought in there. [00:54:52] Speaker A: Yeah, I did. And then nevermind. But yeah, just know. I will tell you this. Just know this is the beginning of on everything I love. [00:55:03] Speaker B: Okay. [00:55:04] Speaker A: It's a lot of layers to it. [00:55:05] Speaker B: Okay. On everything I love. Part two. [00:55:08] Speaker A: Yep. Welcome to the era. [00:55:09] Speaker B: Like the carter.

[00:55:56] Speaker A: It's a whole to do list. [00:55:57] Speaker B: Go to Best buy, go to your service phone service provider, and just get an iPhone so you don't have to get spaces. And then download my key or generator. [00:56:06] Speaker A: Yeah. Cause, you know, iPhone users, they just could put it in their app store, you know? But right now, that's me too.
