Speaker 10: We got to Hope the rappers here with us one.
Speaker 1: Hello, Hello, welcome back, thank you, thank you for having me.
Speaker 2: Thank you for the last ten weeks. It's been definitely
Speaker 2: a ride.
Speaker 1: Absolutely.
Speaker 10: I was going to say it's easy to remember when
Speaker 10: you were on last because it was, uh, well actually
Speaker 10: it was a little over ten weeks ago.
Speaker 1: But yeah, this was an idea that I.
Speaker 10: Think, I think you would kind of I pitched it
Speaker 10: live on the show, yeah, and I said, yeah, let's
Speaker 10: do that.
Speaker 1: That's a that's a fantastic idea.
Speaker 11: Honestly, it's been the greatest experience for myself growing as
Speaker 11: an artist because when you it's kind of like going
Speaker 11: to the gym. Honestly, for me over the last ten weeks,
Speaker 11: because as you release each single, you realize like your
Speaker 11: faults as an artist and everything like that. And I've
Speaker 11: gotten really to a point where I'm ready for the
Speaker 11: next phase.
Speaker 10: Yeah, yeah, what is the next phase? What is your
Speaker 10: what is your plans going forward?
Speaker 2: So my next phase is kind of like an image
Speaker 2: control phase.
Speaker 11: So as like an up and coming artist, I was
Speaker 11: putting up like whatever videos, I can just like putting
Speaker 11: stuff together here and there. Yeah, I'm actually taking the
Speaker 11: last ten weeks to save some money and going forward,
Speaker 11: I want to invest in like the social media aspect
Speaker 11: of things. Yeah, that's gonna help me personally, Like people
Speaker 11: will only come back to like people. As much as
Speaker 11: people say that they support amateurs, people don't support amateurs.
Speaker 11: People support professionals.
Speaker 1: Now what do you mean? Expand on that if you would.
Speaker 11: So it's kind of like I actually had a conversation
Speaker 11: with somebody yesterday. It's kind of like the food truck
Speaker 11: guy in your neighborhood. So like let's say the food
Speaker 11: truck guy. Everybody knows the food truck guy. Everybody loves
Speaker 11: the food truck guy, but he just is always going
Speaker 11: to be known as the food truck guy. Sort of
Speaker 11: like the story of like McDonald's or something like that,
Speaker 11: whereas a small business wasn't willing to expand and somebody
Speaker 11: else saw the vision and expanded that business. So for me,
Speaker 11: what I need to do is not just market here
Speaker 11: in New England. I want to start like targeting everything
Speaker 11: that I'm doing in like Los Angeles, New York and
Speaker 11: Miami and right here from New England. I'm able to
Speaker 11: do that through targeted ads. So that's that's kind of
Speaker 11: like an image control phase. People want to see you
Speaker 11: take that step, Like that step like if if McDonald
Speaker 11: stayed in that one neighborhood, maybe that whole neighborhood would
Speaker 11: have loved it. The rest of the world wouldn't be
Speaker 11: like McDonald wouldn't a problem for us, right right, Yeah, So,
Speaker 11: like you have to not just stay in your small town.
Speaker 2: You have to be willing to expand so you can
Speaker 2: see the vision.
Speaker 10: Yeah, and of course the Internet makes it kind of
Speaker 10: easy to do that in a sense, but of course
Speaker 10: there's a right way and a wrong way to do it.
Speaker 10: And uh and you know, to your point too, I
Speaker 10: think if you if you're not if if you're not
Speaker 10: constantly moving forward and trying to expand what you do,
Speaker 10: then you you almost start to look like you're falling back.
Speaker 2: Exactly. Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 11: So like if I like so like a lot of
Speaker 11: my videos that I'm just sitting in front of my
Speaker 11: desk wrapping and stuff like that. Like, if I just
Speaker 11: keep doing that for years and years, I'm going to
Speaker 11: be the food truck guy. But if I can now
Speaker 11: say hey, I have a really great job, I have
Speaker 11: some money set aside, let me invest in that, people
Speaker 11: are gonna be like, oh, what what's happening with him?
Speaker 2: Now? It creates more interest. Yeah, yeah, absolutely.
Speaker 10: Hey, by the way, if you have any questions or
Speaker 10: comments or feedback anything at all for Hope the Rapper,
Speaker 10: the studio line is open. You can give us a
Speaker 10: call six O three two five oh six oh seven
Speaker 10: six oh three two five o six oh seven. And
Speaker 10: of course you can interact endo Pine in the chat room.
Speaker 10: Of course, I see beepin ARTI is in there and
Speaker 10: says good morning everyone, and uh I saw somebody else
Speaker 10: in there too. But anyway, we will we'll keep an
Speaker 10: eye on that going forward. But so what these these songs?
Speaker 10: Is there any kind of a a theme with the
Speaker 10: ten singles that you that you've premiered on the radio.
Speaker 11: Or so the ten singles that I've been doing, is
Speaker 11: like I wanted a different sound, and then I wanted
Speaker 11: to look at the metrics without like any promotion or
Speaker 11: anything like that. And yeah, like what are people listening
Speaker 11: to right now? Actually a little bit of help that
Speaker 11: I've gotten through these ten singles is one of Joiner
Speaker 11: Lucas's producers that helped him come up has noticed me. Now, yeah,
Speaker 11: and now we my after this image control phase. Well,
Speaker 11: during this image control phase, me and him, his name's
Speaker 11: Knox Beats, we're gonna be working on an EP together.
Speaker 11: So it's no kidding coming. Yeah, it's definitely a step
Speaker 11: by step project.
Speaker 10: Oh that's huge. Yeah, that's that's awesome. Yeah, yeah, very good,
Speaker 10: very good. The songs that that you've been premier in
Speaker 10: two over the last ten weeks, are these on an
Speaker 10: album or are these all do they all just exist
Speaker 10: individually as singles or are they from different places or.
Speaker 2: They exist individually?
Speaker 11: Because like the EP that I have is going to
Speaker 11: have and it's gonna I want it to be like
Speaker 11: a movie. So once I figure out the sound, like
Speaker 11: what what people are listening to? What people like for me?
Speaker 11: I do like to like when I rap, I do
Speaker 11: like a like a conscious groups. I would like to
Speaker 11: go towards that direction and like be more of like
Speaker 11: somebody who speaks about like being more of a world together.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 10: So yeah, and can you tell us too about some
Speaker 10: of the people you collaborated with on these.
Speaker 11: Yeah, absolutely, so I have the actually today you have
Speaker 11: Fate one coming on. Yes, So I had that single problem.
Speaker 11: That was the most colabs I did on a song
Speaker 11: so far. The reason why that song meant a lot
Speaker 11: to me is I remember growing up I used to
Speaker 11: listen to like like DJ Khaled. He used to be
Speaker 11: able to bring all these different type of artists and
Speaker 11: they'd go on this one beat and they'd bring all
Speaker 11: of their styles to this one beat.
Speaker 2: So I have him on that track. I have what
Speaker 2: was it Splash on that track.
Speaker 11: I have Santana Freco on that track, and then abm
Speaker 11: Diz who's also from Lowell.
Speaker 2: These all artists in lol. So that was the clad
Speaker 2: on that one.
Speaker 11: I have the on my way that that one's gonna
Speaker 11: come out with a music video too. D Yeah, so
Speaker 11: that's with an artist from fall River, your boy Loco,
Speaker 11: Me and him are actually talking us because of how
Speaker 11: that sound track sounds to me. I think me and
Speaker 11: him are gonna be working on a lot more projects together.
Speaker 11: We just balanced out on a track like I come
Speaker 11: out with some like loud stuff and then he just
Speaker 11: like mellows out the track, which was really cool for me.
Speaker 11: Which are the ones today? I have a collaboration that's
Speaker 11: gonna be with Jabeach. He was is my best friends
Speaker 11: since I was like probably sixteen, Like we're really close
Speaker 11: friends nowadays that we are dolls obviously, like we spend
Speaker 11: a lot more time apart and everything like that, but
Speaker 11: anytime that we come together and we're rapping, it's just
Speaker 11: a different environment. Yeah, that's what I've appreciated from him.
Speaker 2: So on my Way Problems.
Speaker 1: Was a snapchat? Was that just you on that one?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, that was that was Jenny's favorite.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I know that that one's actually coming out with
Speaker 2: music video too as well.
Speaker 1: Oh really like that one?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 11: No, absolutely, I'm actually collaborating with this person his on the.
Speaker 2: One Eye Visuals right out and Lowell. Yes, that's gonna be.
Speaker 11: So we are gonna shoot ten reels in one day,
Speaker 11: and then we're also shooting three music videos all within like.
Speaker 2: A three week span.
Speaker 11: Okay, yeah, so then I'll have thirteen different videos that
Speaker 11: I could play around with hold in my pocket. So
Speaker 11: then I'm just gonna start dropping those once the fall starts.
Speaker 1: Okay.
Speaker 10: Is it difficult when you have when you have all this,
Speaker 10: as you said, in your pocket, when you've got kind
Speaker 10: of a things that you know you can release on
Speaker 10: kind of a timetable. Is it is that does that
Speaker 10: take some discipline to do that? Because I could just
Speaker 10: imagine if you've got certain things that you're particularly excited
Speaker 10: about releasing, but obviously you know you don't just want
Speaker 10: to put it out there all at once. Yeah, but
Speaker 10: that must be kind of tough when it's like, oh,
Speaker 10: I can't wait to put this out and I but
Speaker 10: I can't do it yet.
Speaker 11: Yes, that is kind of like the most important thing
Speaker 11: you could do for yourself as an artist, Like, yeah,
Speaker 11: you want to put out good songs, don't get me wrong,
Speaker 11: but like you'll you'll make these songs, certain songs, and
Speaker 11: you'll be like, that needs to be held till I'm
Speaker 11: in the better position.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and you have to get yourself in that better position.
Speaker 11: I've actually I feel like I have a few songs
Speaker 11: that I've dropped when I first started that I should
Speaker 11: have just held for a little bit because as people
Speaker 11: saw me grow as an artist, and if I dropped
Speaker 11: this song, it would have been like, oh wow, okay,
Speaker 11: and that eagerness is kind of why I straight away
Speaker 11: for dropping for so long. But then I was like,
Speaker 11: I haven't dropped in a while, let's drop. I have
Speaker 11: a whole bunch of songs right now. I probably have
Speaker 11: over fifty to sixty songs ready, Oh no kidding. Yeah,
Speaker 11: So I was like, let me just drop ten singles
Speaker 11: and learn myself as an artist.
Speaker 2: It wasn't. Yes, as an artist.
Speaker 11: I wanted a lot of people to listen to this,
Speaker 11: but I wanted to learn myself my patterns. So like,
Speaker 11: when I drop a song, am I following through with
Speaker 11: a real after?
Speaker 2: Am I doing this? Like? What will create the most
Speaker 2: success for each single?
Speaker 11: And I do kind of see a process that is
Speaker 11: actually going to work out for me.
Speaker 1: Yeah? And where do you?
Speaker 10: I know we I'm sure we talked about this last time,
Speaker 10: but I'm always really really curious where do you record?
Speaker 1: Do you have a is there a studio that you
Speaker 1: work out of?
Speaker 2: Do you record from home? Or yes?
Speaker 11: So I work right out of a stupid Genius studios
Speaker 11: that's right in Lowell, Massachusetts.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 11: And then I also to work with mister goodbars of course,
Speaker 11: oh yes. And more recently, who I'm gonna be working
Speaker 11: with I is going to be knocks beats? Have you
Speaker 11: ever heard the song Isis by Joinner Lucas and logic.
Speaker 1: I don't think I have.
Speaker 2: Okay, he also has this song I'm Not Racist.
Speaker 10: Yeah, so that what I'm very familiar with. There was
Speaker 10: a lot of uh, yeah, I remember when that came out.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so he's the producer behind those tracks.
Speaker 11: Okay, So before Joyner was like he met Joiner whenever
Speaker 11: he was going to the same like Ryan Mo Ciphers
Speaker 11: that I was going to and Joinna really wasn't an artist.
Speaker 11: And then they started working together and obviously Joiner put
Speaker 11: his work. But the way that this artist produced, the
Speaker 11: way that he listens to beats and everything like that.
Speaker 11: We actually had our first consulting meeting yesterday.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 11: It's he's heard even tracks that I've put out in
Speaker 11: the last ten weeks, and he just has all these
Speaker 11: different ideas and that's what I need. And like, I'm
Speaker 11: a creative genius myself, but I don't have the years
Speaker 11: and everything like that behind what's popular. Like he he
Speaker 11: will hear a drum beat and be like that sounds
Speaker 11: like a pattern from twenty seventeen.
Speaker 2: You shouldn't be using that.
Speaker 11: Oh interesting, yeahah, what do you mean a pattern form saying,
Speaker 11: and he's like, no, in twenty seventeen they were doing this.
Speaker 2: Yeah, now they're doing this.
Speaker 11: If you want to be on like the on an
Speaker 11: algorithm correctly, you have to do it this way. And
Speaker 11: just little stuff like that, little tweaks like that. That's
Speaker 11: what makes the difference between the greats and everything.
Speaker 10: Yeah, things that most people wouldn't even wouldn't even consider. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 10: it's interesting that you know the way some people can
Speaker 10: and again it's through experience, as you were saying, how
Speaker 10: they can pick up on the subtleties of that and
Speaker 10: things that most people probably wouldn't even notice. I remember
Speaker 10: having a conversation with DJ Reckless. I don't know if
Speaker 10: you know DJ res yeah, because yeah, yeah, he's yeah,
Speaker 10: our adopted son, so to speak.
Speaker 1: But yeah, he was. He had done.
Speaker 10: I don't know if I'm even supposed to talk about it,
Speaker 10: but it I don't think it matters. He had done
Speaker 10: a remix of uh, what's a Nate Smith? I think
Speaker 10: that's his name, World on Fire, the country song he
Speaker 10: had done a remix, but I think he had done
Speaker 10: it with somebody else, and he played it for me
Speaker 10: and it was so good. It was like like a
Speaker 10: EDM remix of it, and it was really really good.
Speaker 10: But and I was like, you got to put that
Speaker 10: out or you got to put it up somewhere you can.
Speaker 10: I asked him, can I play that on the show?
Speaker 1: You know?
Speaker 10: It's it's really catchy, yeah, and very The remix he
Speaker 10: did was very well done, and he was like, I
Speaker 10: don't know, it kind of sounds like it sounds like
Speaker 10: four years ago. And I'm like, four years ago, really,
Speaker 10: you whatever? It sounds great, yeah, but he was very
Speaker 10: unsure of it, you know about.
Speaker 11: Little things like that, Like yeah, and it's maybe what
Speaker 11: I'm thinking about it just looking from the outside in,
Speaker 11: Like it's not like music nowadays isn't good, but like
Speaker 11: the music that I latched onto was a little bit
Speaker 11: older music.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 11: So whenever I hear like these beats and everything, I'm like, wow,
Speaker 11: that's amazing. But I'm not thinking about the marketing. I'm
Speaker 11: not thinking about all those little things that are going
Speaker 11: to make me different. Be like, yeah, that already came out.
Speaker 11: I don't I don't want to be something that already
Speaker 11: came out. You want to be something brand new that
Speaker 11: people gonna be like, oh, I've never heard that before, right, Right?
Speaker 1: Is there a risk of overthinking.
Speaker 11: That, Yes, because then you don't want to be an
Speaker 11: artist that's too creative. So it's nothing nothing against him
Speaker 11: at all, but like we have somebody like Kanye where
Speaker 11: he has always been dropping and he's always had success
Speaker 11: with his drops, but more recently and like with Vultures Too,
Speaker 11: he released it, but he's releasing it as something that
Speaker 11: he's editing constantly m m and never put any like
Speaker 11: the marketing behind it. Yeah, so it was never even
Speaker 11: like like these sounds are something that people want to hear.
Speaker 11: So we're not even driving around listening to any of
Speaker 11: these songs. There's my growing up my life. Anytime that
Speaker 11: Kanye has dropped, he's been on the radio for the
Speaker 11: next month of my.
Speaker 2: Life right and now, like, being too creative.
Speaker 11: Will just make people like just look at you, and
Speaker 11: then you just they look at you and then they
Speaker 11: look away because it's not something that they're ready to
Speaker 11: look at you.
Speaker 2: You have to be relevant.
Speaker 11: Yeah, It's like a beat that sounds like twenty twenty
Speaker 11: nine is not going to help me right now in
Speaker 11: twenty twenty four.
Speaker 1: I see what you mean.
Speaker 10: Yeah, yeah, yeah, I just I wonder. I mean, so,
Speaker 10: were you always kind of thinking about that or is
Speaker 10: this something you've like, like you mentioned, I'm sorry, what's
Speaker 10: his name again?
Speaker 1: That to produce knocks?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 10: Or is this something you got from him or did
Speaker 10: you kind of already sort of so I have a
Speaker 10: feeling for that.
Speaker 11: I couldn't put it in words. Yeah, but I'd like
Speaker 11: hear certain songs. I'm like, that's a really good song.
Speaker 11: But yeah, like well, I don't know, like I don't
Speaker 11: know why I don't want to release it, like yeah,
Speaker 11: like even like a lot of like my lyrical stuff,
Speaker 11: Like I have a lot of lyrical stuff that I
Speaker 11: haven't put out because.
Speaker 2: I'm like, I don't know if I'm ready to release that.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 11: For me, I think it's more of you have to
Speaker 11: establish your voice first.
Speaker 2: It's not like gain popularity.
Speaker 11: Know, you have to establish your voice as somebody that
Speaker 11: people want to listen to. YEA, Once people want to
Speaker 11: listen to you, you can hit him with the creative
Speaker 11: stuff here and there and test the waters. But when
Speaker 11: you're getting into like that water. You don't want to
Speaker 11: just like drown yourself, right right. You have to like
Speaker 11: slowly step into the water, feel it, make sure that
Speaker 11: your body can adjust to it and not get used
Speaker 11: to that environment, and then you could be the fastest
Speaker 11: swimmer in the world.
Speaker 1: Right right.
Speaker 10: Yeah, these these ten singles that you've put out, did
Speaker 10: any of them kind of surprise you in terms of,
Speaker 10: you know, because some of them are obviously collaborations, Did
Speaker 10: any of these kind of surprise you in how they
Speaker 10: came out? Did they come out differently than what you
Speaker 10: had initially envisioned, because obviously when you're working with other people,
Speaker 10: there's always that chance that something's gonna come out really different.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 11: So for me, it was the on My Way single,
Speaker 11: as like, for me, I was going at that like
Speaker 11: and then he like with his verse, he was like
Speaker 11: pull up, wait and then he's just like brings you down,
Speaker 11: and I was.
Speaker 2: Like, I didn't hear the beat that way.
Speaker 11: Yeah, I thought this was gonna be like, ah, we're
Speaker 11: getting everybody hyped. And then there was a way to
Speaker 11: bring it, like have your voice in a different octave
Speaker 11: and like like make it like a all right, we partied,
Speaker 11: let's calm down, I'm all my way, yeah.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 10: Who's kind of your Obviously you're very open to collaboration
Speaker 10: and you know, and you're working with people who are
Speaker 10: really advanced in the industry.
Speaker 1: Now, do you have kind of.
Speaker 10: Like a dream uh collaboration maybe someone you want to
Speaker 10: record with or maybe maybe a producer that you really
Speaker 10: want to work with?
Speaker 1: Just uh like, do you have somebody in mind who
Speaker 1: you really want to work with?
Speaker 11: So I have two people. One's the possibility. One is
Speaker 11: I'm working towards. So I have working towards would be Millie's, Yeah,
Speaker 11: right out of Boston, because that's a great artists. But
Speaker 11: I'm actually recently got in touch with Jada Kiss his
Speaker 11: son's management, Oh no kidding, And I got a quote
Speaker 11: on the collaboration and everything like that. The numbers look
Speaker 11: amazing for like who he is son. I just found
Speaker 11: out that he had a son that could rap. I
Speaker 11: was like, yeah, wait what And he's like like young
Speaker 11: like me and everything like that. So I got in
Speaker 11: touch with his manager and everything like that. So somewhere
Speaker 11: towards the beginning of next year is what I think
Speaker 11: I'm gonna do a song with Jada kiss his son outstanding, outstanding,
Speaker 11: But Millie's that's that. That's somebody that I really do
Speaker 11: want to work with. He's a local artist. He helps
Speaker 11: people out and everything like that, which I appreciate.
Speaker 2: Yeah. I had.
Speaker 11: This song that I released on my first EP called
Speaker 11: right Now, and that was with GMT Mark B and
Speaker 11: he ended up doing a song. We're the ones who
Speaker 11: brought Millies out. He did a song with one of
Speaker 11: Millie's people. So I'm just kind of I'm letting that
Speaker 11: song have its sing because I don't want to be
Speaker 11: like I want to take a shine. Yeah, but then
Speaker 11: I'm going to reach out and be like, hey, how
Speaker 11: did this happen? Because I just need to get in
Speaker 11: contact with this people.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 10: Yeah, Now we kind of assume that lot of the
Speaker 10: people who listen to our show, you know, because of
Speaker 10: the guests that we have on in the conversations that
Speaker 10: we have, that a lot of them are musicians. Do
Speaker 10: you have kind of advice for for people who maybe
Speaker 10: are just starting out, or maybe you've been doing it
Speaker 10: for a while but who've made a lot of mistakes
Speaker 10: because you know you're on you're on such a positive
Speaker 10: forward trajectory. Yeah, but a lot of people you know,
Speaker 10: and you can you can just look at social media
Speaker 10: and see, you know a lot of people they feel
Speaker 10: like they get stuck. Some people they've been at it
Speaker 10: for a while and they feel like giving up because
Speaker 10: they don't feel like they're advancing anywhere, They're not getting anywhere.
Speaker 10: Do you have any advice for for people who are
Speaker 10: kind of going through that, or maybe just somebody somebody
Speaker 10: really young, just starting out and you want to kind
Speaker 10: of maybe maybe some pearls of wisdom and mistakes not
Speaker 10: to make and that kind of thing.
Speaker 11: Absolutely, And I think it goes back to that conversation
Speaker 11: I had with Don Speeds, which really just changed my
Speaker 11: mind a lot about things.
Speaker 2: So you want to.
Speaker 11: Not limit your capability to the visibility you're getting on
Speaker 11: social media. There's a lot of legwork that you can
Speaker 11: do outside of that for yourself as an artist, well,
Speaker 11: like that immediate social medium, there's different avenues, Like if
Speaker 11: you want to like produce beats, you can go on
Speaker 11: like beat storm. You can make your own independent accounts
Speaker 11: away from your friends and your family, so that way
Speaker 11: you're not scaling your success based upon how your immediate
Speaker 11: community is reacting. And that's what I feel like when
Speaker 11: I did take that little break, I was like my
Speaker 11: immediate community, I don't think they want me to be rapping.
Speaker 11: And when I started again, the medium community is why'd
Speaker 11: you stop those little things? Like you don't want to
Speaker 11: scale yourself people people will support you and support you
Speaker 11: and support you, but then you have to go find
Speaker 11: different support. Yes, you don't want to just have that
Speaker 11: like your initial support system. That's an amazing thing, don't
Speaker 11: get me wrong, but you need to constantly be looking
Speaker 11: and trying to put yourself out there. Like I said,
Speaker 11: target your instead like it gives you the option when
Speaker 11: you're like, first of all, don't get bots, go directly
Speaker 11: through those sources. If you're going through like a Facebook,
Speaker 11: going through an Instagram, going through TikTok, and they ask
Speaker 11: you where you want your ads to be, don't put
Speaker 11: it in your don't put in your local neighbor. See
Speaker 11: what attention you could get from strangers. Because even when
Speaker 11: I first started, I was doing songs with people like
Speaker 11: in Florida that I'm still friends with.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and I've never met these people.
Speaker 11: We just when I stopped, we just randomly stopped talking
Speaker 11: and everything like that. But I felt better whenever I
Speaker 11: was releasing music as something like for me and something
Speaker 11: that I was willing to put out for myself, because
Speaker 11: that's when you'll go the hardest, as soon as you
Speaker 11: start putting something out, and then you look over and
Speaker 11: be like, did I do a good job? It's eventually
Speaker 11: might somebody might be like tired.
Speaker 2: One day, it's all right, I.
Speaker 11: Actually didn't listen to it, or like those little comments
Speaker 11: will start getting to you and start eating you out. Yeah,
Speaker 11: So the value of your success should never be based
Speaker 11: upon your im media community.
Speaker 10: Right right, Yeah, I think that's good advice. Yeah, And
Speaker 10: you always want to Yeah, you always want to be
Speaker 10: expanding your fan base, expanding.
Speaker 11: Exactly exactly because then like you'll find yourself like if
Speaker 11: the same people don't react. You was just like the
Speaker 11: all right, all right, all right, I guess I'll stop
Speaker 11: because like these people don't like it anymore, not knowing
Speaker 11: like you could put up a video ten fifteen times
Speaker 11: and it's going to hit the fifteenth.
Speaker 2: You just got to keep doing your reps.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I think that's really good advice. Yeah.
Speaker 10: You mentioned when you had taken a break before, and
Speaker 10: I think we talked about that too. The last time
Speaker 10: you were here. Yeah, but I don't remember was that
Speaker 10: because was that because you were discouraged at the time
Speaker 10: or were you just doing other things.
Speaker 11: Or mixture of Like, so, my lifestyle at the time,
Speaker 11: I was like partying and everything like that.
Speaker 2: I got caught up in that world.
Speaker 11: Yeah, and then I just would like with the people
Speaker 11: like I was partying with and hanging out every day,
Speaker 11: I didn't hear them talking about like my music or
Speaker 11: anything like that.
Speaker 2: Yeah, maybe it's not doing as good as I thought.
Speaker 11: So then I just like randomly there was no announcement
Speaker 11: or anything like that, because that's I feel like it's
Speaker 11: probably actually a really damaging thing that you could do
Speaker 11: to yourself as an artist. If you're gonna stop, just
Speaker 11: stop because you don't know if you'll come back, right,
Speaker 11: But if you start disappointing people, they won't come back right.
Speaker 1: Right exactly. Yeah. Now, well, well said m.
Speaker 10: Abdel I always butcher his name. I'm so sorry Abdel
Speaker 10: Boggie Hamadas, and the chatterman says, uh, good evening, mister Matt.
Speaker 10: What time is it now in New Hampshire Here in
Speaker 10: Egypt it is four pm Egypt?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 10: Yeah, oh yeah, yeah, yeah, We've got nine to twenty
Speaker 10: seven am Eastern time here, all.
Speaker 7: Right, everywhere you're on Tomorrow. Radio in Ireland can do
Speaker 7: evening or late afternoon perhaps were.
Speaker 1: I have no idea.
Speaker 2: Amazing.
Speaker 10: Hans A Smith from the band Sepsis is in the
Speaker 10: chat room says, hey metal, Matt Hans is asking what
Speaker 10: inspired you to get into music?
Speaker 11: My dad, so when we first moved to America, I
Speaker 11: actually like remember the first song rap song I heard
Speaker 11: was probably bow Wow?
Speaker 1: Oh no, okay, do you remember what song?
Speaker 2: Bow wow wow?
Speaker 6: Yo?
Speaker 2: I'd like remember that because oh okay, yeah, like.
Speaker 11: We just moved to America and everything like that, we
Speaker 11: had just gotten like TV and everything like that. And
Speaker 11: I remember my dad he called me. I was like
Speaker 11: in the room or something like that. He called me over.
Speaker 2: It's like George, Georg, George, check this out, check this out.
Speaker 11: And then he's like he's young like you, and like
Speaker 11: bow is your apart from me. So like that gave
Speaker 11: me like a scale, like oh wow, that's cool what
Speaker 11: he's doing.
Speaker 2: And then he started playing NOAs for me.
Speaker 1: He oh that's right. I remember we talked about that before.
Speaker 2: Yeah. He had this one DVD that NAS put out
Speaker 2: that he bought it Best Buy. It was they Hate
Speaker 2: Me Now music video.
Speaker 11: It was like a back back in the day they
Speaker 11: used to come out with music videos behind the scenes.
Speaker 11: It was a whole different thing, like making the That
Speaker 11: was a TV show actually on MTV, so like I'd
Speaker 11: watched that over and over again. And then so my
Speaker 11: mom found out that I was listening to rat music.
Speaker 11: It was like no, no, no, no, no no, because we
Speaker 11: are like a religious family and some content can't affect people,
Speaker 11: and so it just became something I listened to, like
Speaker 11: on my own.
Speaker 2: And then my.
Speaker 11: Friend in my freshman year of high school, his name
Speaker 11: was Cody. He told me that he could record music
Speaker 11: with a rock band, and I'm like, what are you
Speaker 11: talking about. You just plug the USB into your computer
Speaker 11: just like you would like anything else, and then you
Speaker 11: can use this program called Audacity. So I went and
Speaker 11: I got the instrumental for I'm Still fly by Drake,
Speaker 11: and then I recorded my first That was the first
Speaker 11: like recorded song, was a remix I'm Still fly by Drake.
Speaker 11: I recorded them and then I showed it to my
Speaker 11: dad and my Dad's like, okay, so make a CD
Speaker 11: and I'll get you to the CDs and so then
Speaker 11: I made a whole little like mixtape thing because that
Speaker 11: was what was popular at the time for rappers, like
Speaker 11: you made mixtapes.
Speaker 2: So I got one hundred CDs.
Speaker 11: I forget the website I got from, but I got
Speaker 11: one hundred CDs and then they sold out, and I
Speaker 11: was like that I sold out, and he's like what
Speaker 11: He's like, he sold out.
Speaker 2: It's like all right, we'll get some more.
Speaker 11: And then so we got some more, and like I
Speaker 11: did that till like I pretty munch should have realized,
Speaker 11: like I sold everybody that was willing to buy.
Speaker 2: Yeah, this point, I sold.
Speaker 11: Like three hundred CDs for my first Wow Please, which
Speaker 11: was looking back, I'm like wow, Like yeah, I was fourteen,
Speaker 11: fifteen years old.
Speaker 1: Just that's fantastical with a.
Speaker 2: Box of CDs, Like who wants these?
Speaker 11: Yeah, and people were buying them. And people still bring
Speaker 11: that up, like remember whenever you sold me a CD?
Speaker 2: That's awesome, that's awesome.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's fantastic.
Speaker 10: Heather Stockwell is in the chat room and says, uh,
Speaker 10: did you ask about the name Hope?
Speaker 1: How did that name come about?
Speaker 6: Uh?
Speaker 1: Where does he derive Hope from? Personally? Oh? Great question?
Speaker 1: Heather okay perfect.
Speaker 2: So Hope was uh the second name I chose.
Speaker 11: So when I first gone into music itself, like producing
Speaker 11: music itself, it was so I was into rap because
Speaker 11: my dad but producing music, got into DJing. Yeah, so
Speaker 11: I was DJ unsigned minor. And then at a certain
Speaker 11: point I told myself that's not marketing.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I kind of like it. It's kind of cool.
Speaker 2: Like for me, I was like, you're not gonna be
Speaker 2: a minor forever.
Speaker 1: Well, that's true, yeah, turning into like I.
Speaker 11: Think I was turning like thirteen fourteen. I'm like, no,
Speaker 11: you're getting older now, you're a teenager. You're not a minor, right,
Speaker 11: But I was still a minor obviously. So then I
Speaker 11: was thinking of like different names, and I was like,
Speaker 11: what do I want to talk about, like at the
Speaker 11: end of the day, Like, if I'm gonna like have
Speaker 11: a rap name, it has to be something I talk about.
Speaker 11: At that point, I just decided most of my wraps
Speaker 11: are gonna be more of a positive, hopeful message. Yeah,
Speaker 11: I Hope the Rapper. And then I was upset actually
Speaker 11: because a year or two after I came out with
Speaker 11: Hope the Rapper, Chance the Rapper came out yes, and
Speaker 11: I was like, I thought it was so creative and
Speaker 11: he blew up before me, right, so like I was
Speaker 11: for my own to just mind myself. I came out
Speaker 11: with Hope the rapper for us, I always look up
Speaker 11: like when he came out, and then like when I
Speaker 11: came out.
Speaker 2: And was like all right cool.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 10: Yeah, I can relate to that a little bit because
Speaker 10: you know, with the name of the radio show. Whenever
Speaker 10: I see Unleashed in something the name of somebody's radio
Speaker 10: show or podcast, I'm like.
Speaker 1: Oh, like I did that. Yeah.
Speaker 10: But the good news is, you know, it's extremely unlikely
Speaker 10: that I'm ever going to find another Matt Connordon unleashed
Speaker 10: because exactly Connor, there actually is another Matt Connor in
Speaker 10: New Hampshire. Yeah, but he's my uncle, so it doesn't count.
Speaker 2: Yeah, family, yes, yes.
Speaker 1: Hans is also asking do you have a favorite song
Speaker 1: of all time? Uh?
Speaker 10: He lists a few genre genres here, metal, hip hop,
Speaker 10: or reggae. I don't know if you listen to metal
Speaker 10: at all, but although hanging out hanging out with mister Goodbars,
Speaker 10: you might have heard some stuff.
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, I've I've heard metal and.
Speaker 1: He produces everything.
Speaker 10: He's he's like the most diverse producers.
Speaker 2: Like, so, I it was a wow. Me and him
Speaker 2: were just like internet friends.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 11: I went to a studio for the first time and
Speaker 11: I realized his diversity, and I'm like, this is this
Speaker 11: man's creative.
Speaker 2: He's not he's not just it's not just a rapper
Speaker 2: I'm looking at. This is a musician.
Speaker 11: Yeah, oh yeah it all you know, uce it all,
Speaker 11: you can rap, you can like just get it.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 11: But so I can say metal is just the category
Speaker 11: that I've been just getting into. One of my employees
Speaker 11: at work, Gavin he like just has been introduced me
Speaker 11: to artists because I'm trying to have more of like
Speaker 11: an open mind when it comes to music.
Speaker 2: No woman, no cry.
Speaker 11: If we're talking about gay yeah and rap music, that
Speaker 11: would be.
Speaker 2: That's a hard one.
Speaker 1: It probably probably changes, right.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 11: So if I were to say I know I can't,
Speaker 11: is that I don't know if I can, I know
Speaker 11: I can buy nas.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Yeah, that's that.
Speaker 11: That was a song because that if I think back
Speaker 11: to like really like looking at that music video and
Speaker 11: everything like that at the time, like our Knock Live
Speaker 11: came out, that song came out, but that song a
Speaker 11: little resonated with me a little bit more and just
Speaker 11: hearing like the kids in the backgrounds.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I want to be on a song that big
Speaker 2: one day. Yeah. Maybe not the kid in the background,
Speaker 2: but I want to be on a song that big
Speaker 2: one day. Yeah.
Speaker 10: I think my favorite is uh it kind of changes
Speaker 10: over time, but I think jay Z ninety nine problems.
Speaker 2: Once you hear that guitar is just like different.
Speaker 10: Yeah, yeah yeah, Rick Rick Rubin did an amazing job
Speaker 10: on that.
Speaker 7: Yeah.
Speaker 1: I thought I saw another question in there, but maybe not. No,
Speaker 1: I guess not.
Speaker 10: The But you as far as producing now currently though,
Speaker 10: you everything's pretty much self produced, right, I mean obviously
Speaker 10: when you're collaborating with people, but I mean the songs
Speaker 10: like like Snapchat, that's just you on that, right, Did
Speaker 10: you did you do that all yourself?
Speaker 1: No?
Speaker 2: So that I have a producer that I work with closes.
Speaker 11: His name's Chaz Oh okay, he actually runs a stupid
Speaker 11: genius studio. Oh right, right right, So self producing, I
Speaker 11: like do that like on my own right now.
Speaker 2: I'm really learning how to like get that down.
Speaker 11: But I found like whenever, like I was first releasing music,
Speaker 11: that was like a stress factor for me yeah, and
Speaker 11: like I'd have a really good song, but I listened
Speaker 11: to it so many times.
Speaker 2: I'm just like mm hmmm.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 11: But like having like for me, having it like that
Speaker 11: produces there for me. Were we bounce off ideas back
Speaker 11: and forth, so like snapchat like started out with like
Speaker 11: a different like tone and everything like that, and he's
Speaker 11: like bring it up a little bit, like and we
Speaker 11: did those little tweaks to the song. Yeah, and just
Speaker 11: having that creative mind in the studio with me bouncing
Speaker 11: ideas back and forth has been the most helpful for me.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 10: It's interesting because some people are kind of the opposite
Speaker 10: where they can't and and maybe some people I think
Speaker 10: maybe it's ego or they just or they get nervous
Speaker 10: letting someone else, you know, have any control over anything.
Speaker 10: But some people can self produce, you know what I mean. Yeah,
Speaker 10: it's like it's like they can't, they can't else and.
Speaker 11: Yeah, no it's overwhelming and like that that too, So
Speaker 11: like I I one hundred percent was there, But then
Speaker 11: I was just thinking about for me, my like releasing
Speaker 11: the music, like I want to be able to not
Speaker 11: really necessarily basically have no effort, like I spend all
Speaker 11: this time recording because when I write and like stuff
Speaker 11: like that, if I'm like actually writing and not just
Speaker 11: like rapping as I go, it's it's a research process
Speaker 11: for me, Like I look up references and everything like that,
Speaker 11: because I.
Speaker 2: Want you to be complete.
Speaker 11: So I'll look up like if I say something about
Speaker 11: like a bottle of water, I look up like the
Speaker 11: history of water and try to come up with a
Speaker 11: line for the next line based on what I've learned.
Speaker 11: So if you like look at it lyrically, you could
Speaker 11: actually learn a lot.
Speaker 10: Are there other artists who who you know who who
Speaker 10: do that, who have said that they do it that way?
Speaker 10: Because there are there are some people you listen to
Speaker 10: and you think, how do they how do they come
Speaker 10: up with these words?
Speaker 11: No, so that I feel like that's an untalked about world. Yeah,
Speaker 11: in the rap world.
Speaker 2: Like how'd you write this? Like what what were you doing?
Speaker 11: Because like I think as an artist, we think like
Speaker 11: there's some songs that like it'll sound like the happiest
Speaker 11: song in the world, but you weren't in the right
Speaker 11: place whenever you wrote that song, like you were trying
Speaker 11: to get yourself out of that right And that's songs
Speaker 11: would help. So I think talking about that's that's an
Speaker 11: interesting question you asked about that because like talking about
Speaker 11: the writing process, I don't think I've ever sat down
Speaker 11: with another rhyp and be like what were you doing whenever,
Speaker 11: like you wrote this, Like what's your what's your process?
Speaker 2: Yeah, everybody's like it's like the secret recipe.
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, yeah. I've always been kind of fascinated by that.
Speaker 10: That and the uh the memory skills that it must take.
Speaker 1: But I assume you just develop over time, right.
Speaker 11: Yeah, No, So the memory skills are interesting because I
Speaker 11: wonder how other rappers do it. Me, I because I
Speaker 11: like I had the history with music. I'll use like
Speaker 11: parts of like the beat, the tone and everything like that.
Speaker 11: I'm like, once it drops an octave, that's when my
Speaker 11: voice starts.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 11: And I have a song that I was writing recently
Speaker 11: that like I wrote it in my car because I
Speaker 11: could hear it a certain way and then I want
Speaker 11: to go play it in some different speakers and I
Speaker 11: didn't hear that drop. Yeah, everything was off and it
Speaker 11: took me a while to like get myself back to
Speaker 11: that point.
Speaker 10: So it can backfire, yeah, yeah, because I you know,
Speaker 10: I've I've played in rock bands, and uh, you know
Speaker 10: a rock song, you know you got two or three verses,
Speaker 10: maybe four lines in each. It's easy, you know, you
Speaker 10: just you just learn it. It's if you listen to
Speaker 10: it a few times, you know the lyrics. But but
Speaker 10: a hip hop song, it's like there's a lot of words.
Speaker 10: That's something I've always been really fascinated by. And I
Speaker 10: think too, And I've I've had this argument with people
Speaker 10: because and uh, somebody specific does come to mind, and
Speaker 10: Jenny probably knows who I'm thinking of this someone we
Speaker 10: know in particular who's very critical of hip hop, who
Speaker 10: just doesn't like it. But the thing that I've always
Speaker 10: told people too is, you know, one of the things
Speaker 10: that rappers don't get enough credit for is just being
Speaker 10: able to remember all those words and and then and
Speaker 10: being able to recall that and deliver those words, especially
Speaker 10: like like battle rappers. Yeah, like those and they show
Speaker 10: up prepared with all that, Like how do they remember
Speaker 10: all That's amazing to me? It must be like like
Speaker 10: memorizing dialogue from a movie script, like like because I
Speaker 10: can't imagine being able to do that either. And I
Speaker 10: think I have a pretty good memory, but I don't
Speaker 10: know how. I don't know how actors managed to do that.
Speaker 10: I'm fascinated by that.
Speaker 11: I'm that that that I'm fascinating So me, I would
Speaker 11: have to say the reasons why my raps make sense
Speaker 11: is because of like the memory part, because like I'll
Speaker 11: remember like the storyline behind as I'm rapping. Maybe not
Speaker 11: everybody is able to see it, but I always have
Speaker 11: like a different vision.
Speaker 2: Battle rappers, to me, though, are some of not.
Speaker 11: If not the most like influential for me, because like
Speaker 11: they have no beat, They're they're telling a story and
Speaker 11: they don't miss a beat. I'm actually funny you mentioned
Speaker 11: battle rappers. Next Saturday. Next yeah, yeah, next Saturday. I'm
Speaker 11: actually opening up for one of the biggest battle rappers
Speaker 11: in the world in Massachusetts.
Speaker 2: His name's Charlie Clips. Yes, yea.
Speaker 1: His name came up recently.
Speaker 2: I think.
Speaker 1: I think when we were talking with good Bars, actually his.
Speaker 10: Name came up and and and I ended up going
Speaker 10: on because I I'm really fascinated by that stuff.
Speaker 1: So I found some of like what was the I
Speaker 1: think did he battle Daylight? Yeah?
Speaker 10: Yeah, yeah, I think that was one of the ones
Speaker 10: I watched Daylight. I'm kind of fascinated by Yeah, he's.
Speaker 2: Uh he Daylight.
Speaker 11: A lot of people don't give him credit, like he's again,
Speaker 11: he's a little weird, but like, yeah, he writes for
Speaker 11: a lot of industry rappers.
Speaker 1: Oh I didn't know that.
Speaker 2: If you look up.
Speaker 11: His accreditation this, there songs that you wouldn't think that
Speaker 11: Daylight wrote, and he wrote that.
Speaker 1: I didn't know that. Yeah okay, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2: Like he might.
Speaker 11: So at first, I was like kind of unwilling to
Speaker 11: accept it because of like how abstract it was, like
Speaker 11: we're talking about earlier.
Speaker 2: But then I realized, like, no, he's just doing that
Speaker 2: because he can't. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Yeah, oh he's brilliant.
Speaker 11: Yeah no, he's talks about things that like you will
Speaker 11: have to do research, and then once you do the research,
Speaker 11: like oh okay.

Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 11: He just goes and goes and goes and goes and
Speaker 11: like he sees the vision like he did. It's tunnel
Speaker 11: vision for that and that's the kind of tunnel vision
Speaker 11: I want to try to adapt.
Speaker 10: Yeah, because I looked online and I was like, oh,
Speaker 10: he makes a lot of content.
Speaker 1: He's very very busy.
Speaker 11: Absolutely outside of that he's working too, so right crazy

Speaker 10: you have another single you're working on now or.
Speaker 11: Yes, So that that single I'm really excited for. It's
Speaker 11: just got the final version this week. So one thing
Speaker 11: about music is, like I said, my mom should we've
Speaker 11: grown up in a home. She just kept it together
Speaker 11: that way, and so she's always asked me to make
Speaker 11: like a Christian song.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you had mentioned that last time you were here.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so I have this this one song.
Speaker 11: One of the first people when I was on that
Speaker 11: rock band Mike to get me off the rock band Mike,
Speaker 11: he brought me to the Boys and Girls Club in Nashville,
Speaker 11: which has a studio for the kids to use.
Speaker 1: Really yeah, oh that's cool.
Speaker 11: That's shout out to the Boys and Girls Club in Nashville,
Speaker 11: because that place gave me a lot of hope because
Speaker 11: there was a first place I saw a soundboard.
Speaker 2: It's the first place I saw an actual booth.
Speaker 11: And so he Rich Rhymes or is c s lit
Speaker 11: Now his name was Rich Rhymes cs lit.
Speaker 2: He brought me there and like.
Speaker 11: Got memberships and then that just became somewhere that I like,
Speaker 11: That's how I got from transition from the rock band
Speaker 11: Mike to the booth.
Speaker 1: Kidding, Oh, that's very cool and that and that's that
Speaker 1: studios there.
Speaker 2: Yeah, studio is still there. It's in the tea room.
Speaker 11: So if like you're a teenager and you're a national
Speaker 11: New Hampshire and you're looking to make music and you
Speaker 11: don't don't necessarily what to do, you go to the
Speaker 11: boys Club and there's a.
Speaker 1: Spot no kidding, that's awesome. Do they have somebody there?
Speaker 10: I assume they have someone there who kind of shows
Speaker 10: the kids how to Yeah, there must be some sort
Speaker 10: of a class, right that they offered us.
Speaker 11: I don't think there was a class, but there is
Speaker 11: like an in house producer. Yeah, but like that's awesome.
Speaker 11: The awesome part is is yeah, so like, yes, it
Speaker 11: would be cool to have an in house producer and
Speaker 11: everything like that.
Speaker 2: We were left alone to learn a lot of that.
Speaker 11: Yeah, so like we learn how to mix a master
Speaker 11: on they had they But.
Speaker 10: That can be an advantage long term too, when when
Speaker 10: you're forced to figure it out exactly.
Speaker 11: Yeah, you're given you're sixteen years old, somebody puts fruity
Speaker 11: loops in front of you and you're just like, yep,
Speaker 11: I mean I have everything I can to make the song.
Speaker 2: So if I want to make it, this is how
Speaker 2: I have to do it.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 10: And for listeners who don't know, Fruity Loops is a
Speaker 10: recording program, some people might think you're talking about Cereal.
Speaker 11: I remember the first time that peop were like, did
Speaker 11: you get Fruity Loops? And I'm just like looking at you,
Speaker 11: I'm like, what do you I'm asking how to make me?
