Speaker 1: 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,
Speaker 3: 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?
Speaker 2: 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
Speaker 4: I was twelve years old and I was watching an
Speaker 4: episode of SpongeBob and it's Bang Geeks. So Patrick has
Speaker 4: a line in there that says, is mayonnaise an instrument?
Speaker 4: So my first beat that I made, I got started
Speaker 4: making beats. Yeah, and uh, my first beat that I made,
Speaker 4: I sampled sounds that were made using mayonnaise and I
Speaker 4: posted it online. Really yes, And I was looking for
Speaker 4: a YouTube channel name and my mom suggested Mayo Beats.
Speaker 4: And then I started rapping kind of evolved, and then
Speaker 4: then like the I was releasing my music, there was
Speaker 4: a label line on my district beater. I always put
Speaker 4: Mayo Beats Productions. Yeah, MVP Mayo Beats Productions.
Speaker 1: Okay, oh very cool, all right, cool cool. That's not
Speaker 1: as a long story. I'm glad you told it.
Speaker 4: I shortened it a little bit. A lot of steffs
Speaker 4: that wasn't always MVP male And.
Speaker 1: How are you guys associated together? Do you work together
Speaker 1: on music?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 3: Well, actually I met him through an event I did
Speaker 3: 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
Speaker 3: doing a holiday party. Yeah, and it was actually his
Speaker 3: first ever show that he did, and I was still
Speaker 3: to this day think that he's lined to me because
Speaker 3: he came and destroyed that. Everybody loved it and the
Speaker 3: whole crowd went crazy, and ever since then, just took
Speaker 3: him under my wing. Nice trying to do what I
Speaker 3: wish I had someone do for me, not only as
Speaker 3: an artist. But this is like a mentor type of thing,
Speaker 3: you feel me.
Speaker 1: So yeah, yeah, mentorship is important, there really is, you know,
Speaker 1: because it's you know, if you're trying to do anything
Speaker 1: creative and you don't have someone to kind of sometimes
Speaker 1: people get discouraged and they give up very early because
Speaker 1: if they don't have anyone who can give them advice
Speaker 1: and guide them while also you know, not taking advance
Speaker 1: to them because they absolutely absolutely so. So if you
Speaker 1: can find someone who can kind of mentor you and
Speaker 1: 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
Speaker 1: track and then we'll come back and we'll talk for
Speaker 1: a bit, and uh, should we do See You Fly?
Speaker 3: Yeah, let's do that. It's probably good best one to
Speaker 3: start with, honestly, Yeah.
Speaker 1: Because we were talking off air when you guys got here.
Speaker 1: This is my personal favorite of the ones you sent.
Speaker 1: I love this What what what should we know about this?
Speaker 3: So this song actually talks a lot about drug addiction,
Speaker 3: getting clean, about a lot of the stuff that happens
Speaker 3: and within the drug culture, and then the lifestyle of that,
Speaker 3: a lot of the mental illnesses and then demons that
Speaker 3: we face, and the coping mechanisms, and then the trials
Speaker 3: and tripulations of hitting rock bottom pretty much just restarting
Speaker 3: yourself and reinventing.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, absolutely, all right, excellent, Let's give this a
Speaker 1: spin and then we're going to come back and talk
Speaker 1: to these guys. This is called to See You Fly.
Speaker 5: And I've can not come run anymore because sometimes, buddy,
Speaker 5: when you're doing bad things, people do bad things too,
Speaker 5: 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,

Speaker 6: Damn can my eyeballs shut now while you're living there?
Speaker 6: I got sober good the kids homing. You know what
Speaker 6: it is, but it's by rolling with the click. I
Speaker 6: 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,
Speaker 6: but no one know that I'm the issue. It's just

Speaker 1: Polo and MBK the right MVP, MVP. Why do I
Speaker 1: what did I say?
Speaker 2: MBK?
Speaker 1: MVP. I'll get it before well before the end of
Speaker 1: the show. I got these guys in studio with us
Speaker 1: and out.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: I do love that track, and I think that's probably
Speaker 1: pretty relatable for a lot of people. I don't like
Speaker 1: you were saying, you know, if you're dealing with addiction
Speaker 1: and whatnot, then you make the you decide to make
Speaker 1: the changes to get clean, and then exactly, you know,
Speaker 1: people for their own reasons, they don't want you to
Speaker 1: do that. They want you to stay with.
Speaker 3: Them exactly because they can't. They just they can't do
Speaker 3: it themselves, so they don't want to see anybody else do.
Speaker 3: Is really what it comes down to a lot of
Speaker 3: internal things too.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Yeah, I think what makes that relatable too is
Speaker 1: it's not it's not just you know, you can apply
Speaker 1: that to not just.
Speaker 2: Addiction, exactly, all.
Speaker 1: Kinds of absolutely. Absolutely. How long have you been at this,
Speaker 1: King Polo?
Speaker 3: So, I've been doing music since I was about like
Speaker 3: twelve or thirteen. I started taking it more serious probably
Speaker 3: like eighteen nineteen, when I could actually get into venues
Speaker 3: and stuff.
Speaker 2: Because of the ages.
Speaker 3: Took a few years off, you know, I kind of
Speaker 3: 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
Speaker 3: way to like like communicate stuff and not be stuck
Speaker 3: into my own box, into my own thoughts and feelings.
Speaker 3: Realized I had a craft for it, and then being
Speaker 3: in out of the studios, I've actually kind of learned
Speaker 3: how to produce an engineer myself. So I've been doing
Speaker 3: that for some time now, and then all the time
Speaker 3: I like took off, I'm kind of really doing anything
Speaker 3: and having to sit there and do with my own
Speaker 3: my own actions. I learned a lot of the business
Speaker 3: aspect of stuff because I realized a lot of this
Speaker 3: business stuff is pretty much it's it's the smaller things
Speaker 3: that make the bigger picture, and that's where everybody is
Speaker 3: trying to make the money off of you, and it's like, oh,
Speaker 3: realistic I got to do is just know how to
Speaker 3: present yourself and communicate and do all these things. And
Speaker 3: so I just learned all those small things, and that's
Speaker 3: kind of what I've been doing with the platform, the
Speaker 3: wave that I created, and just kind of teaching everybody
Speaker 3: and putting everybody onto stuff that I know, but also
Speaker 3: learning stuff while doing it too.
Speaker 1: Yeah, we were talking about that off air a little
Speaker 1: bit too, about your your commitment to sharing knowledge and
Speaker 1: to and to you know, helping helping people and and
Speaker 1: and helping people to not only be able to learn
Speaker 1: things about the business, but take the business seriously. You know,
Speaker 1: it's it's the music business. It's not the music. I mean,
Speaker 1: not that there's anything wrong with doing it for a
Speaker 1: hobby or whatever, but if you're but if you want
Speaker 1: to have a career, like a real career and and
Speaker 1: you know, and have it last, then you got to
Speaker 1: take it seriously, and you got to take it like
Speaker 1: a business. Yeah, one hundred. When did now the tracks
Speaker 1: that you sent us, these are are these all singles?
Speaker 1: 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,
Speaker 3: Outside is off a project from last year, And a
Speaker 3: few of them are just single singles right now that
Speaker 3: I've been releasing to promote the couple of projects from
Speaker 3: dropping this year. Yeah, I'm dropping a collaborative album with
Speaker 3: the whole collective, and then I have a single like
Speaker 3: a single album I'm dropping, and then another collaborative album
Speaker 3: 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
Speaker 1: recording and producing? Do you is everything self produced?
Speaker 2: Sure?
Speaker 3: So I do pretty much all the production, the beats.
Speaker 3: Some of the beats I usually just buy or get
Speaker 3: from other producers. There is I have some beats that
Speaker 3: I've done myself because I do make beats as well. Yeah,
Speaker 3: but a lot of stuff Right now, I'm kind of
Speaker 3: just getting more on the production side and kind of
Speaker 3: doing more features where I'm like, all right, let me
Speaker 3: branch chat with people that I've grown up with and
Speaker 3: done music with or other artists and kind of like
Speaker 3: do my little thing, but like let them really kind
Speaker 3: of take control of the song and then put that
Speaker 3: onto my stuff and kind of let them use my network,
Speaker 3: you know what I'm saying, like as their as their
Speaker 3: platform in a sense.
Speaker 1: Right right? Do you do you have like a studio,
Speaker 1: 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
Speaker 3: about to go up and do this DJing event for
Speaker 3: this boxing event on Laconia right after this nice so
Speaker 3: pretty much. I got a home studio, and I got
Speaker 3: 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
Speaker 3: doing it for years, and all these studios I've gone to,
Speaker 3: I've kind of learned just watching a lot of this
Speaker 3: stuff is kind of the same stuff, you know what
Speaker 3: I'm saying. Yeah, and then it's really just adding your own,
Speaker 3: your own float to it because everybody you can go
Speaker 3: to thirty different studios, but if they don't hear what
Speaker 3: you're trying to do, all they're going to really do
Speaker 3: is like, Okay, do it this way. It may sound better,
Speaker 3: 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,
Speaker 3: but I'm very kind of locked down on what sound
Speaker 3: 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.
Speaker 1: Joshua Hernandez domination j J cool. Yeah, we gotta get
Speaker 1: him on the show. He says, uh, oh, where did
Speaker 1: comment go? I'm trying to forgive me trying to back up.
Speaker 1: I didn't want to miss his comment. Oh, King Polo
Speaker 1: and MBP Mayo in the building. Yes, he said something
Speaker 1: too about the wave NonStop grind or something. I lost
Speaker 1: his comment now disappeared, but welcome. Domination Jay also a
Speaker 1: Zachary Broder say Beast Mode. Yes that Nathan Hill. Ye, yeah,
Speaker 1: 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
Speaker 1: cool that we live in a time too where you know,
Speaker 1: you have a lot of different options as far as
Speaker 1: how you record and where you record and different approaches.
Speaker 1: And you know, I'm older, so when I was growing up,
Speaker 1: it was like you either you either went to a
Speaker 1: studio and spent a time of money or you you know,
Speaker 1: or if you had a one of those old task
Speaker 1: 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,
Speaker 1: and I mean you can still go to a studio
Speaker 1: and spend that money, and there's some great studios around. Yeah, definitely,
Speaker 1: Like we have Eric Sotter from Blackhart Sound. His name
Speaker 1: comes up all the time on the show. But but
Speaker 1: the advantage of being able to do it yourself too is,
Speaker 1: you know, you've got maximum control over what you're there,
Speaker 1: you know, And so that's really cool. I'm curious to
Speaker 1: know more about that. You mentioned a festival you're doing
Speaker 1: the summer.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 3: So it's gonna be out of Charlie's Hill in Lemonon, Maine.
Speaker 3: It's a two day festival. There's an indoor and outdoor stage.
Speaker 3: We're gonna do camping, bonfire. We got so the thirteenth
Speaker 3: is June thirteenth is the first day. It's my actually
Speaker 3: my birthday. So we're gonna do all like the rap
Speaker 3: performances and kind of like the big like hype like parties,
Speaker 3: so to speak.
Speaker 2: And then the next day we're gonna kind of do
Speaker 2: like low key vibes.
Speaker 3: We'll have some rap performances still too, but there's gonna
Speaker 3: be more kind of like acoustic and singers and kind
Speaker 3: of like the next day kind of everyone gets situated,
Speaker 3: clean up and kind of vibe and then go home
Speaker 3: type deal. Nice, but it's it's pretty cool. Charlie's Hill
Speaker 3: is definitely shout out to them out lemon and Maine.
Speaker 3: That's one of the venues that is always doing everything
Speaker 3: for local artists and his artists in general. So if anybody,
Speaker 3: any artists listening ever get a chance to go check
Speaker 3: out Charlie's Hill in Elemonon, Maine, definitely go out there.
Speaker 3: Terry and Mike and Lloyd are always doing the best
Speaker 3: that they can to provide a great platform with love
Speaker 3: and respect for us. So if you guys ever looking
Speaker 3: for somewhere cool to go, tap in, go tap in there.
Speaker 1: That Yeah, Charlie Silt that comes up on the show
Speaker 1: all the time too. I've yet to be there, but
Speaker 1: I've got to go there, but for the past, for
Speaker 1: the past however long two or three years now I
Speaker 1: 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,
Speaker 3: when I ever do get like big and doing all
Speaker 3: this stuff, that's one place I'm always gonna go all
Speaker 3: the time. Yeah, just to show love because they that's
Speaker 3: what they do for everybody, So why not give them,
Speaker 3: you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Yeah, absolutely you've been at this. You know your man,
Speaker 1: but you've been at this a little while. And actually, well,
Speaker 1: this question really for both of you guys, like what's
Speaker 1: changed from your because I feel like the music industry
Speaker 1: is constantly changing and evolving so much, and and you
Speaker 1: know you're you're someone who really pays attention to what's
Speaker 1: going on, Like, like, what is what has changed about
Speaker 1: or maybe maybe even not so much changed about the business,
Speaker 1: but about your approach to the business.
Speaker 3: So my approach to the business has definitely changed a
Speaker 3: lot from when I first started, because when I first started,
Speaker 3: obviously coming to something young, new and like all this
Speaker 3: energy and kind of like cockiness and not confidence in
Speaker 3: a sense. Yeah, so and then being the young guy,
Speaker 3: like there's a lot of times where you've been misleaded,
Speaker 3: Like that's where I was. I was misled with a
Speaker 3: lot of the teams or groups that I got with
Speaker 3: growing up. So they'll use me as like stepping stones
Speaker 3: in a sense of like oh yeah, sure, come to
Speaker 3: this venue or come to this event, and we'll definitely
Speaker 3: get you on stage, where realistically they just wanted to
Speaker 3: 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
Speaker 3: social media and all this growth, not too many people
Speaker 3: do as much door to door face to face promotion anymore.
Speaker 3: So I've been trying to to come and do it
Speaker 3: on both ends, with just like the social stuff, but
Speaker 3: also getting face to face. Like we did a show
Speaker 3: in Rochester at the Performance Art at Center back in April.
Speaker 3: I printed off flyers and went to pretty much every
Speaker 3: business downtown Rochester and put flyers up talk to the
Speaker 3: owners of the businesses. You know what I'm saying, Like
Speaker 3: the face to face built the actual interaction with the
Speaker 3: customers they not customers, but with the with the city.
Speaker 3: You know what I'm saying, People around absolutely, because too
Speaker 3: many people don't do that anymore. And like I've even
Speaker 3: felt like I've even I can even call myself on
Speaker 3: doing that in the past, with like spam sending messages
Speaker 3: and like, oh here's a new song, you guys should
Speaker 3: 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
Speaker 3: 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,
Speaker 1: MVP okay, good, Like how is how's things changed for
Speaker 1: you over the years too, I mean maybe it's maybe
Speaker 1: it's similar to King Polo. I don't know, but I mean,
Speaker 1: what's been your experience.
Speaker 4: So when I when I first started rappings, probably about
Speaker 4: seven years ago. I'm only nineteen, by the way, I know,
Speaker 4: 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
Speaker 4: grew up with this social media, with this everybody stuck
Speaker 4: 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
Speaker 4: in the wave of like people like Little Pump like
Speaker 4: 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
Speaker 4: to face stuff, I like the I like being personal,
Speaker 4: you know, you know through a screen. You know, it's
Speaker 4: like texting somebody ain't the same as talking to somebody
Speaker 4: face to face. You know, you ain't seeing their facial expressions,
Speaker 4: their body language, you went't hear in the tone of
Speaker 4: 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
Speaker 4: 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
Speaker 4: older is I've realized I got to stop trying to
Speaker 4: be a persona because, like I said, I grew up
Speaker 4: with those you know SoundCloud rap. Yeah, I didn't grow
Speaker 4: up with them, but that's that's when I got into
Speaker 4: hip hop.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 4: Yeah, so that that was kind of like my the
Speaker 4: big thing was like flexing at the time. So I
Speaker 4: 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
Speaker 4: 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,
Speaker 1: 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
Speaker 1: 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
Speaker 4: work ethic, part of the You know a lot of
Speaker 4: people say I'm more mature than other people my age. Yeah,
Speaker 4: I think part of it. It was like the pandemic. Right,
Speaker 4: I was in ninth grade when that happened. That was
Speaker 4: probably peak sociality for me, right, and then suddenly gone
Speaker 4: breath like that. So I had to grow up. I
Speaker 4: had to learn a lot of lessons quickly. Yeah, and
Speaker 4: you know, here we are today. I'm the man I
Speaker 4: 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
Speaker 3: got me MVP, MAO, domination J and then my boys
Speaker 3: though to rap. That was the one that was just
Speaker 3: on that cu fly along with me. Oh nice, these
Speaker 3: they are all really really close people to me. Right here, man,
Speaker 3: we killed this track.

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