Speaker 1: So right now we've got so first of all, King Polo is here.
Speaker 2: Welcome. Yeah, thank you for having me.
Speaker 1: Man, and you have an associate with you.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I got my boy, MVP Mayo here with me, about to introduce y'all to him MBP may welcome.
Speaker 2: To thank you, thank you.
Speaker 1: What does that? What does MBP stand for?
Speaker 2: It's kind of a long story. You want to hear it? I do.
Speaker 1: I'm always very curious about this kind of thing.
Speaker 4: So my first kind of foray into music was when I was twelve years old and I was watching an episode of SpongeBob and it's Bang Geeks. So Patrick has a line in there that says, is mayonnaise an instrument? So my first beat that I made, I got started making beats. Yeah, and uh, my first beat that I made, I sampled sounds that were made using mayonnaise and I posted it online. Really yes, And I was looking for a YouTube channel name and my mom suggested Mayo Beats. And then I started rapping kind of evolved, and then then like the I was releasing my music, there was a label line on my district beater.
Speaker 4: I always put Mayo Beats Productions. Yeah, MVP Mayo Beats Productions.
Speaker 1: Okay, oh very cool, all right, cool cool. That's not as a long story. I'm glad you told it.
Speaker 4: I shortened it a little bit. A lot of steffs that wasn't always MVP male And.
Speaker 1: How are you guys associated together? Do you work together on music?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 3: Well, actually I met him through an event I did last year at Charlie's Hill out in Lebanon.
Speaker 2: The venue.
Speaker 3: Told him to reach out to me because I was doing a holiday party. Yeah, and it was actually his first ever show that he did, and I was still to this day think that he's lined to me because he came and destroyed that. Everybody loved it and the whole crowd went crazy, and ever since then, just took him under my wing. Nice trying to do what I wish I had someone do for me, not only as an artist. But this is like a mentor type of thing, you feel me.
Speaker 1: So yeah, yeah, mentorship is important, there really is, you know, because it's you know, if you're trying to do anything creative and you don't have someone to kind of sometimes people get discouraged and they give up very early because if they don't have anyone who can give them advice and guide them while also you know, not taking advance to them because they absolutely absolutely so. So if you can find someone who can kind of mentor you and help you and and collaborate with you, that's that's fantastic.
Speaker 1: What I think we should do is let's play a track and then we'll come back and we'll talk for a bit, and uh, should we do See You Fly?
Speaker 3: Yeah, let's do that. It's probably good best one to start with, honestly, Yeah.
Speaker 1: Because we were talking off air when you guys got here. This is my personal favorite of the ones you sent. I love this What what what should we know about this?
Speaker 3: So this song actually talks a lot about drug addiction, getting clean, about a lot of the stuff that happens and within the drug culture, and then the lifestyle of that, a lot of the mental illnesses and then demons that we face, and the coping mechanisms, and then the trials and tripulations of hitting rock bottom pretty much just restarting yourself and reinventing.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, absolutely, all right, excellent, Let's give this a spin and then we're going to come back and talk to these guys. This is called to See You Fly.
Speaker 5: And I've can not come run anymore because sometimes, buddy, when you're doing bad things, people do bad things too, and that's all they want to do.
Speaker 2: And when you.
Speaker 3: Start to realize that you don't want to do that anymore, any better your life.
Speaker 2: People don't want to see good for you, so they can't be around to see you do that.
Speaker 5: I want to shut you down when they see you fly fly every when your friend when you get high. Now it ain't around, and you want to why why they just swan a party? It ain't done a ride and no ride. I want to shoot you down when they see you fly fly every when your friend when you get high. Now it ain't around, and you want to why they just swan a party. It ain't down a ride and they talk bad when you win and got a better life, being focused on my kids and my ches to right and thank God every time I took them in the night, got stars from the war.
Speaker 5: But I want to life and my babies even once without my DNA right to die.
Speaker 2: It don't matter at the time of day.
Speaker 5: All the money, y'all many miles fall away, say the word and I'm coming up the bottom away.
Speaker 2: If you know me, then you know that's a fact though when I'm not.
Speaker 5: When my kids I'm stack though they laid up when I walk through the dough life break me down, but they got my hot fall. Snakes in the grassdroud cut your wings of everything hard.
Speaker 2: Even when I wrap soft.
Speaker 5: I got to keep the hunger even when you want timesone as you stop, that's.
Speaker 2: When you start to fly acts.
Speaker 5: I want to shoot you down when they see you fly fly every when your friend when you get high. Now it ain't around, and you wonder why the wh they just sworn a party? It ain't done a ride and the ride. I want to shoot you down when they see you fly fly every when your friend when you get high.
Speaker 2: Now it ain't around, and you.
Speaker 5: Wonder why they just sworing a party?
Speaker 2: It ain't done a ride.
Speaker 6: Aside from Polo though, none of y'all wherever there we always able to get wavy your surf everywhere at your bone crush impression.
Speaker 2: It's still we never skip hear it?
Speaker 6: And why a couple of times you mess your legends then we're talking. You're on the sprind I put together better he is to buy the Gemini, But that chemistry forever there.
Speaker 2: I love the world. That's waking up. But we've been well aware that.
Speaker 6: Damn can my eyeballs shut now while you're living there? I got sober good the kids homing. You know what it is, but it's by rolling with the click. I ain't talking about the connection. Speak loud of the worst.
Speaker 2: All my emotions, all that shit.
Speaker 7: It's also my nobra matter.
Speaker 2: I think, what get my wits?
Speaker 7: I a live real good potments. He let it sok.
Speaker 6: It just a bit spin up moments since I notice, but no one know that I'm the issue. It's just something you know when you know where you commit. It's the one that me and Paula always know how to do. We did little shit.
Speaker 2: I want to shut you down when they see you fly.
Speaker 5: You fly everyone your friend when you get out now that ain't around, and you wonder why, wander why they just want to party.
Speaker 2: It ain't down.
Speaker 5: The ride and the ride want to shut you down when they see you fly. You fly everyone your friend when you get now that ain't around, and you want to why they just want to, Oh.
Speaker 1: That is so good that I'll see you fly. King Polo and MBK the right MVP, MVP. Why do I what did I say?
Speaker 2: MBK?
Speaker 1: MVP. I'll get it before well before the end of the show. I got these guys in studio with us and out.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: I do love that track, and I think that's probably pretty relatable for a lot of people. I don't like you were saying, you know, if you're dealing with addiction and whatnot, then you make the you decide to make the changes to get clean, and then exactly, you know, people for their own reasons, they don't want you to do that. They want you to stay with.
Speaker 3: Them exactly because they can't. They just they can't do it themselves, so they don't want to see anybody else do. Is really what it comes down to a lot of internal things too.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Yeah, I think what makes that relatable too is it's not it's not just you know, you can apply that to not just.
Speaker 2: Addiction, exactly, all.
Speaker 1: Kinds of absolutely. Absolutely. How long have you been at this, King Polo?
Speaker 3: So, I've been doing music since I was about like twelve or thirteen. I started taking it more serious probably like eighteen nineteen, when I could actually get into venues and stuff.
Speaker 2: Because of the ages.
Speaker 3: Took a few years off, you know, I kind of made some life choices that caught up to me et cetera.
Speaker 2: But music always was there.
Speaker 3: So I used that as my coping mechanism and my way to like like communicate stuff and not be stuck into my own box, into my own thoughts and feelings. Realized I had a craft for it, and then being in out of the studios, I've actually kind of learned how to produce an engineer myself. So I've been doing that for some time now, and then all the time I like took off, I'm kind of really doing anything and having to sit there and do with my own my own actions. I learned a lot of the business aspect of stuff because I realized a lot of this business stuff is pretty much it's it's the smaller things that make the bigger picture, and that's where everybody is trying to make the money off of you, and it's like, oh, realistic I got to do is just know how to present yourself and communicate and do all these things.
Speaker 3: And so I just learned all those small things, and that's kind of what I've been doing with the platform, the wave that I created, and just kind of teaching everybody and putting everybody onto stuff that I know, but also learning stuff while doing it too.
Speaker 1: Yeah, we were talking about that off air a little bit too, about your your commitment to sharing knowledge and to and to you know, helping helping people and and and helping people to not only be able to learn things about the business, but take the business seriously. You know, it's it's the music business. It's not the music. I mean, not that there's anything wrong with doing it for a hobby or whatever, but if you're but if you want to have a career, like a real career and and you know, and have it last, then you got to take it seriously, and you got to take it like a business.
Speaker 1: Yeah, one hundred. When did now the tracks that you sent us, these are are these all singles? Are these part of an album?
Speaker 2: Right? So? All of them are off of projects.
Speaker 3: See Flies off a project from a couple of years ago, Outside is off a project from last year, And a few of them are just single singles right now that I've been releasing to promote the couple of projects from dropping this year. Yeah, I'm dropping a collaborative album with the whole collective, and then I have a single like a single album I'm dropping, and then another collaborative album with my buddy Domination Jay.
Speaker 1: I've heard of Domination Jay. Yeah, that's a cool name too.
Speaker 1: Where do you you know, because you you talked about recording and producing? Do you is everything self produced?
Speaker 2: Sure?
Speaker 3: So I do pretty much all the production, the beats. Some of the beats I usually just buy or get from other producers. There is I have some beats that I've done myself because I do make beats as well. Yeah, but a lot of stuff Right now, I'm kind of just getting more on the production side and kind of doing more features where I'm like, all right, let me branch chat with people that I've grown up with and done music with or other artists and kind of like do my little thing, but like let them really kind of take control of the song and then put that onto my stuff and kind of let them use my network, you know what I'm saying, like as their as their platform in a sense.
Speaker 1: Right right? Do you do you have like a studio, like a home studio.
Speaker 2: I got a home studio with all that stuff.
Speaker 3: Actually, right now, I hat in the car because we're about to go up and do this DJing event for this boxing event on Laconia right after this nice so pretty much. I got a home studio, and I got stuff to run indoor and outdoor venues.
Speaker 2: Yeah. I got to host my first festival this summer. Really. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Oh congratulations. Yeah that's a big deal.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yop.
Speaker 3: So I do all this, Like I said, I've been doing it for years, and all these studios I've gone to, I've kind of learned just watching a lot of this stuff is kind of the same stuff, you know what I'm saying. Yeah, and then it's really just adding your own, your own float to it because everybody you can go to thirty different studios, but if they don't hear what you're trying to do, all they're going to really do is like, Okay, do it this way. It may sound better, but that's probably because that's what.
Speaker 2: They're used to for production.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah.
Speaker 3: So I'll take that constructive criticism and add it to stuff, but I'm very kind of locked down on what sound I'm going for and trying to push off as well.
Speaker 1: We've got some getting some love in the chat room here. Joshua Hernandez domination j J cool. Yeah, we gotta get him on the show. He says, uh, oh, where did comment go? I'm trying to forgive me trying to back up. I didn't want to miss his comment. Oh, King Polo and MBP Mayo in the building. Yes, he said something too about the wave NonStop grind or something. I lost his comment now disappeared, but welcome. Domination Jay also a Zachary Broder say Beast Mode. Yes that Nathan Hill. Ye, yeah, he was on the show recently.
Speaker 2: He's awesome.
Speaker 1: Yeah, he said. Melissa and I are watching and listening.
Speaker 2: Excellent, excellent, appreciate you'll. I hope you're having a great weekend.
Speaker 1: Domination Jay said bangers Only. Yes, absolutely, absolutely, Yeah, It's cool that we live in a time too where you know, you have a lot of different options as far as how you record and where you record and different approaches. And you know, I'm older, so when I was growing up, it was like you either you either went to a studio and spent a time of money or you you know, or if you had a one of those old task him for track reporters.
Speaker 2: You know, you can do stuff at home.
Speaker 1: And of course today you've got all kinds of options, and I mean you can still go to a studio and spend that money, and there's some great studios around. Yeah, definitely, Like we have Eric Sotter from Blackhart Sound. His name comes up all the time on the show. But but the advantage of being able to do it yourself too is, you know, you've got maximum control over what you're there, you know, And so that's really cool. I'm curious to know more about that. You mentioned a festival you're doing the summer.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 3: So it's gonna be out of Charlie's Hill in Lemonon, Maine. It's a two day festival. There's an indoor and outdoor stage. We're gonna do camping, bonfire. We got so the thirteenth is June thirteenth is the first day. It's my actually my birthday. So we're gonna do all like the rap performances and kind of like the big like hype like parties, so to speak.
Speaker 2: And then the next day we're gonna kind of do like low key vibes.
Speaker 3: We'll have some rap performances still too, but there's gonna be more kind of like acoustic and singers and kind of like the next day kind of everyone gets situated, clean up and kind of vibe and then go home type deal. Nice, but it's it's pretty cool. Charlie's Hill is definitely shout out to them out lemon and Maine. That's one of the venues that is always doing everything for local artists and his artists in general. So if anybody, any artists listening ever get a chance to go check out Charlie's Hill in Elemonon, Maine, definitely go out there.
Speaker 3: Terry and Mike and Lloyd are always doing the best that they can to provide a great platform with love and respect for us. So if you guys ever looking for somewhere cool to go, tap in, go tap in there.
Speaker 1: That Yeah, Charlie Silt that comes up on the show all the time too. I've yet to be there, but I've got to go there, but for the past, for the past however long two or three years now I hear about Charlie Shilton.
Speaker 2: Love it over there. I love it over there always.
Speaker 3: That's one of those places like if I ever do, when I ever do get like big and doing all this stuff, that's one place I'm always gonna go all the time. Yeah, just to show love because they that's what they do for everybody, So why not give them, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Yeah, absolutely you've been at this. You know your man, but you've been at this a little while. And actually, well, this question really for both of you guys, like what's changed from your because I feel like the music industry is constantly changing and evolving so much, and and you know you're you're someone who really pays attention to what's going on, Like, like, what is what has changed about or maybe maybe even not so much changed about the business, but about your approach to the business.
Speaker 3: So my approach to the business has definitely changed a lot from when I first started, because when I first started, obviously coming to something young, new and like all this energy and kind of like cockiness and not confidence in a sense. Yeah, so and then being the young guy, like there's a lot of times where you've been misleaded, Like that's where I was. I was misled with a lot of the teams or groups that I got with growing up. So they'll use me as like stepping stones in a sense of like oh yeah, sure, come to this venue or come to this event, and we'll definitely get you on stage, where realistically they just wanted to get more people in the door to make more money.
Speaker 2: Yep, things of that nature.
Speaker 3: I started to realize that, and then as technology and social media and all this growth, not too many people do as much door to door face to face promotion anymore. So I've been trying to to come and do it on both ends, with just like the social stuff, but also getting face to face. Like we did a show in Rochester at the Performance Art at Center back in April. I printed off flyers and went to pretty much every business downtown Rochester and put flyers up talk to the owners of the businesses. You know what I'm saying, Like the face to face built the actual interaction with the customers they not customers, but with the with the city.
Speaker 3: You know what I'm saying, People around absolutely, because too many people don't do that anymore. And like I've even felt like I've even I can even call myself on doing that in the past, with like spam sending messages and like, oh here's a new song, you guys should go watch this video.
Speaker 2: It's like, who the hell am I.
Speaker 3: You have never had a conversation with me before in the past, and I'm expecting you to do something for me.
Speaker 1: Right right? Yeah, now what about you, MVP? Let's say, right, MVP okay, good, Like how is how's things changed for you over the years too, I mean maybe it's maybe it's similar to King Polo. I don't know, but I mean, what's been your experience.
Speaker 4: So when I when I first started rappings, probably about seven years ago. I'm only nineteen, by the way, I know, I know I look look a little older.
Speaker 2: But so.
Speaker 4: It's it hasn't changed as much for me because I grew up with this social media, with this everybody stuck in their phone, yep, you know, so.
Speaker 2: Not a lot has changed.
Speaker 4: I mean when I first started, you know, I was in the wave of like people like Little Pump like Smoke Part, you know, that whole SoundCloud.
Speaker 1: Wave, and those were all the people that.
Speaker 2: Were blowing up online. So that was my mo is.
Speaker 4: I got to try and blow up online.
Speaker 1: Yep.
Speaker 4: But now now that I've seen some of the face to face stuff, I like the I like being personal, you know, you know through a screen. You know, it's like texting somebody ain't the same as talking to somebody face to face. You know, you ain't seeing their facial expressions, their body language, you went't hear in the tone of their voice in a text.
Speaker 2: Contact can change so much.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yep.
Speaker 4: And uh, you know, people try and a tone in the text now, but it's you know whatever, it's hard.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 4: But a personal change for me is as I've gotten older is I've realized I got to stop trying to be a persona because, like I said, I grew up with those you know SoundCloud rap. Yeah, I didn't grow up with them, but that's that's when I got into hip hop.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 4: Yeah, so that that was kind of like my the big thing was like flexing at the time. So I was just trying to be that. I realized it's not me.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 4: Now I'm just I'm doing what I think is the best representation of myself as a human.
Speaker 2: And uh, I'm having a lot more fun with it.
Speaker 1: Yeah that's good. Yeah, that's very positive. I like that. Yeah, you're only nineteen.
Speaker 2: Yep, only nineteen.
Speaker 1: It's the facial hair.
Speaker 2: This man's work ethic too, though.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: He make me proud every damn day.
Speaker 1: That's a fact, that too, right, because you'll be a lot of nineteen year olds like that. That's awesome.
Speaker 2: Good me. You.
Speaker 4: I think I think part of it, part of the work ethic, part of the You know a lot of people say I'm more mature than other people my age. Yeah, I think part of it. It was like the pandemic. Right, I was in ninth grade when that happened. That was probably peak sociality for me, right, and then suddenly gone breath like that. So I had to grow up. I had to learn a lot of lessons quickly. Yeah, and you know, here we are today. I'm the man I am today from the experiences I have.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's awesome. That's awesome.
Speaker 2: Good for you.
Speaker 1: We should play another track. What do you guys?
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm with it. Home improvement if you can. That's got me MVP, MAO, domination J and then my boys though to rap. That was the one that was just on that cu fly along with me. Oh nice, these they are all really really close people to me. Right here, man, we killed this track.
Speaker 1: Excellent, excellent. All right, we'll give this a spend. This is home improvement.

I don't catch it in the moment, you know, And then I'm like, oh no, I can't believe i' that wrong. I there was a band on recently. I I totally batched the As I'm introducing the song, I watched the the title, Oh no, it's coming back out of the song.
Speaker 1: I I said the right band name, but I said the wrong song title. They were too polite to correct me. But then I but I didn't realized, and I listen back to it later, I'm like, where did I get that from? The name that I said was totally different than the actual title of the.

Yeah, it's just pretty much bringing boxing to the community, which is pretty cool. I did the grand opening for him back in November, which was a really good, good party, and then this time we're doing this event, so I'm kind of locking it into him.
Speaker 3: He's kind of doing the same thing that I'm doing this music stuff, but with boxing, trying to give people an outlet and give the youth something to look forward to and get him out the streets and stuff. So I'm really really honored and like proud to be a part of this cause that's kind of all I'm trying to do myself too. So you know how it goes, Man, when you link up with stuff like this, it's just only supposed to multiply and get better.

Yeah, and Polo, which was I used to wear a lot of polo back in the day. Oh so I was like when wearing polo and like snapbacks is cool back And then you know I'm saying forever agos so ye. I kind of got it from there. And then as I grew up, you know what I mean, I was like I'm not going to always want to be referred to as young boy because I'm not a young boy anymore, a grown man eventually.
Speaker 3: Yeah, So I kind of got in my own bag and got a little conceited in like cocky with this when I was like, oh, I'm gonna call myself King. But then as over time I've changed, Like I still kept the name, but the meaning and like the acronym behind it is now it's keep improving the next generation, proudly overcoming limited opportunity.
Speaker 2: I love that.
Speaker 3: So trying to, you know, trying to change the facade that hip hop has been given, the narrative that people are trying to create with it. Yeah, and just also being biracial and growing up in New Hampshire and New England, I've had a lot of diversity and obstacles to overcome as this. So I'm pretty much just trying to be like they like, obstacles are everywhere, but it shouldn't be because of what I like to listen to or how I look.
