4:12 Yeah, there's a lot of stuff that was like I was in kind of a low place and listening to certain lyrics. It's it's important to put those lyrics that somebody might remember later on in the day or the next morning that might help them get up. And that's what I am for. Yeah, I like that. I like that. Do you is all? Are all of your lyrics kind of kind of in that vibe? I mean, do you have anything that's darker or is it all pretty pretty positive? On every once in a while there's a there's a dark song that comes up.

4:43 I actually have on a good Man project that I have. Everything's available on Spotify, Apple, all that stuff. Yeah, Goodman project. I have a song where it's a three conversation piece where talking to the devil about signing your selling your soul and as God and stuff like that. Oh wow, and we disguise the voices, so it's three different conversations. Really fun. I want to do a music video perspective character speaking eventually. But that's uh, there's I mean, there's a couple of them. Yeah, yeah, that's the one that sticks out to me.

Well I'm dying to hear I'm dying to hear how this sounds.

5:45 I know you guys are gonna do a few songs for us, but yeah, if you're if you're ready to play something, can I can I get into an announcement real quick just because this is like absolutely like I'm I'm just really excited.

And this year there was a buzz in the air and they came back and said that we could do it again and awesome. Yes that's very cold, like that is like and the crazy story behind that is I started m seeing twenty years ago right across the street, no kidding. So that's like a personal goal for me, and be able to do something good with it is huge.

6:42 I'm just really excited and you don't usually that's not the kind of thing you usually associate with Walmart. No, you know, being able to do a concert, no shows, you know. You know how it started, honestly, like another thing that I'm proud of. It started with giving a and a ride to work. She was the personnel manager at the time one of and I asked about the charity stuff. It's like, yeah, this performance count towards donation time, and she said yeah, so I said, oh, oh wow. And then the whole store kind of got on board with it and we all just kind of came together and had this huge event.

7:16 We raised eleven hundred dollars out there. We have a month so you know, when you go to the store and they're like, hey, you want to round up money, you know, round up the dog. That's what it's going to in June. Okay, CMN Boston Children's Hospital. So last year total June we raised fifty five hundred no kidding, that was pretty cool. That's all.

15:09 Not me? Kidd? And now what changed my ways? Will who's counting? Not me? Not me? Cause time loves to haunt. Wait, you rush with your movies like a play clock ticking. Patience has gotta be you when it's your term, will you turn down, refuse or snatch it opportunity that moment. I can't lose. Time waits for no one. But when you decide to go and put your show on and flow on, you know, so on and so on by the time, will you give me back to second thought? Loss? We can bargain on them. I know everything costs.

15:47 Yeah, it's like you're losing your mind when you're dripping over toys in the attica time and every day you're feeling all of the stress you jove up from the found the deeper side of your chest. You lose yourself in a melody and dream about how things used to be, used to be, its to be. And I've seen better days. But who's counting? Not me? Not me? Yeah, and now I change my wis

16:29 But who's counting? Not me? Not me? Who guess there's little hands are moving their rise and burning holds in my head with this, who knows where I'm led? I got some flows to be fed, words to win bed, descriptions from my mind, projecting like a note with his hands. I wish for watch would stop. My kids are getting old, the ribbish time would just not pick a moment that's bestolen. If you could change the past, what is it that you do now with certain things last? Or you choose the same path. You can read my name bass with some help from a couple of the ghosts.

17:05 This is how I have a blast. My skills werenda trash. But I tell him right after him and gave him a bath, shared my full brats of stash. Chris browing one or two against these She is with fear. We've experienced a few. Yeah, I've seen better days. Who's counting not me? Not me? Yeah? Now I changed my wish's counting, not me, not me who cares? Case spot the time? When you give me back some second side fast, we can boggain on some I know everything goes yeah yeah yeah, OK. Would you turn down refuse a snatched opportunity?

18:05 Terms? Would you turn down refuse a snatched opportunity? Oh? I can't lose win it your term? Will you turn down refew it? Very nice? Very nice? Great job guys, Thank you. That sounds phenomenal if you're just joining us. Uh. We have Joey Painter here with us live in studio, and Tommy is here as well. Tommy, what's your lost time again? Uh? Tommy Jakes. I usually go by Tommy Ghost, Tommy Ghost. Yeah. Play in the melodies from Ghost Road where a rock band. We grew up on stuff like Sabbath and Alice Cooper, so we're very much along that lines.

18:42 We play everywhere anywhere. There led a dirty little rock band, you know, we we love it. Nice nice? Are you the lead singer in that band? Yeah? I sing, I play some some rhythm stuff and uh yeah again you know we've been I started the Ghost in twenty ten with just an idea, same thing as Joe was saying, I started it, uh when when things were tough and I needed I needed music, you know, And I mean I think music can save us if we can figure out how to let it for sure, you know. Ye. But yeah, so uh yeah, me and you know, me and him started just messing around, and uh, this is a little bit different from me.

19:18 Like I said, the hip hop thing is much it's way out of my element. But uh, it's been really fun and people really do dig it. You know. We go play places where it's some very hardcore hip hop and then we put a little bit of that dynamic in it and people are like that was awesome. You know. So it's like, you know, it's you know, it's been fun. It's always a good it's always a good thing to walk in with something different and have people go yeah, yeah, I didn't expect that here because a lot of the time too, they're like, what's he gonna do?

19:46 Wrap over the acoustic guitar? Yeah, yeah, yeah, you know it's kind of like right, right, have you seen anyone else on the scene locally who does that? I did a couple of years ago beast Naire and his name out of Manchester. He rocked at a rap night a bunch of times. B Snare and I can't remember his name, forgive me, but I have seen that, uh not committed as much as we're trying to get it to. Yeah, they definitely did a bunch of shows. I think B. Snaire is doing solo stuff now, but uh, I haven't really.

20:20 I've only seen him once or twice. But that was like a that was a cool thing to see and totally sparked it. Yeah, yeah cool. Tell me a little bit about influences. Uh who I totally dig into like the positive chrus one. Yeah, obviously the old old school nineties, you know, hip hop method man Wu Tang Biggie. Yeah, I'm not gonna say Diddy yeah anymore. Sorry, Yeah, I'm with you. There's so many conversations on that. Anyways. Oh my god, that guy what a disappointment talk about Well, I'll go into that is a huge disappointment because that did he was always uh puffy, he was always that guy that had that work ethic that was like really cool and inspiring to see, like when he was doing stuff for without money, not for money, but building stuff.

21:12 But then now you're finding out there's and is there and it's just tears me apart. That's exactly you mentioned exactly. The thing that I had always admired about him was like there's stories about when he was interning at I forget Uptown. It wasn't uptown. Yeah, Like he would ride the subway two hours every day, back and forth. He was so committed to l A Read and uh, what was it la Read? And if I got that right, Heavy d was on Uptown. All that stuff was Jo Tosy, Yeah you know. And yeah, he just he worked.

21:44 He worked really hard, you know. And then and it's like you see this, you know, I assume you've seen the video. Well, I guess you can be assault. Yeah, well, I guess you can say. That's what happens when power gets to your head. Yeah, I guess. So there were there were stories before about, uh, was he accused of Steve Stout like he has he was it? Didny who assaulted him? Like hit him? Hit him in the face with a champagne bottle? Yes, yeah, actutely. Well, and then then the Shine thing, uh, the replacement Biggie unfortunately, the skinny dude that sounded just like Biggie was.

22:15 Yeah, and then there was a situation and he went to jail for a little while. Oh right, this is coming back. All of that is coming out saying uh anyways, Yeah, it's disappointing that work ethic. Work ethic expires me, like if you're, if you're, if you're going hard on your craft, that's like, that is inspiring. Huge inspiration right now is Marlon Kraft if you haven't looked him up? Wow, I have played what what song was it? I've played him on the show. I don't know if it's even still in here. That song dribbling is super talk about work ethic.

22:51 He's got a song. I think America is in the title. Oh you know, I think I do know what you're two parts. He did a he did a fall, He did one, and then he did a follow up to it a couple of years ago. I can't it's not in the system anymore here. I can't remember what. But I made a radio editor. Is it the Ganggang one? I was talking about all gangs? No, everything's a gang. No, I can't remember now what it was, but but yeah, I like Marlin this is America. No, No, that's childish, sorry, yeah, childish gambino.

23:18 No, there's there's a but there's a song where it's very political. This show used to be more political. Flag in the background. Yeah yeah, no, I remember that. Yeah, and there's and there's two of them. Because he did a follow up a couple of years later of that, he had more to say. It's just really really good. Yeah. Yeah, No, he's a he's definitely a respected by me. Yeah, lots of his stuff is like I rather like, I love a lot of his quotes. I go into like he they stick out. I rather like one is I'd rather be a legend to ten than a mean to a million.

23:52 That's fantastic. A lot of them. Like I'm driving and I listened to it and I'm like, yeah, yeah that is cool. But but I mean gang Star positive lyrics, caros One is used influence and I can go on you know, yeah, Tommy, what about your influence? Yeah, I'm curious. Oh again, I kind of mentioned it. I'm a rock and roll guy, you know, so uh you know, uh, definitely Sabbath, you know, stuff like that. But I mean, uh again, when music started for me, with motown and stuff like that, Yeah, so really you know, uh, my aunt used to babysit me, right, around in the car and she had like two different cassette tapes.

24:33 One was Motown's Greatest Hits and uh and then Tom Petty's Full Moon Fever. So those records got, you know, burned into my brain completely. But uh, yeah, I I love music. I think a good song can come from anywhere, you know. Yeah really yeah? But yeah, do you is guitar your only instrument or do you play? It seems like everybody I talked to you these days they play like multiple instruments. Oh yeah, I was saying play. I play rhythm guitar. I play a little bit of piano and stuff too, but you know that's pretty much it.

25:02 Yeah, drums, you know, I give props to drummers, you know, yeah, you know. Yeah, drummers are a consistent topic on the show because everybody we were just in fact with the guys we just had on from Texas. How like every drummer is in multiple bands because there's never enough drummers to go around. Yeah, and I do. I do have a drummer that I work with, Dan Fishbeine, and he is in multiple bands. I'm always trying to say, hey, let's come through and do some stuff. Let's rehearse some stuf say well, I got band practice would first and that night, that night, that night, all different bands.

25:35 I'm like, wow, yeah, Well my theory about that has always been Jenny's heard me say this a lot on the show that you know, when you're growing up and you start wanting to play a musical instrument, you got to have the conversation with the parents about it. If you say, well, I want to be a drummer, you know that and the tuba are the two that they're going to try to discourage you from because they don't want all that sound, you know, all that noise, especially if you go you're going to play drums, son, you better get good at it, right right, And they actually say that too.

26:01 But drummers are like intelligent. There's like a lot they say it like they're really smart. Yeah, what are you saying about guitar and bass players? Man? I don't I can't play nothing. I use a pen. Well yeah, so what about your your beats and everything? Do you? Uh? What tell me about your your creative process? There's a beat wise. First of all, I totally work with t I dub amplified audio out of Dover, New Hampshur. He's

26:37 he is my primary recording place. Like he helps me a lot, and there's like a lot of respect back and forth. He does sound everywhere that he can. He's doing the Walmart Show sound amplified audio. But he does beats. I'll push his beats all day long. Fifty dollars a beat, look him up. I'm sure he's got some least prices on that stuff. But my son confide, Uh, he he makes a bunch of beats for me. Mike murd usually, uh this last. I have a project called The Mantra where it gets back to that wake up in the morning, good lyrics stuff.

27:18 And I totally targeted Pete Rock and I've got a bunch of I've got three tracks by Pete Rock that I have been performing called the Mantra. Got a nice cover. Yeah, I don't know. I just kind of write so whatever we can, I don't I don't know. Yeah. Usually when I hear somebody that inspires me, I'm like, oh man, that just makes me want to go right, I'll find a beat, you know ye. Listening sessions like t I Dub comes over every once in a while Sunday mornings and says, Hey, I got a bunch of beats I want to play for you.

27:51 Let's check this out. Yes, always good Sunday mornings. Love that. Now, how does that process work? Because and this is something we were talking about this recently with Oh who is that we had on the show recently who really kind of Oh Hope the Rapper kind of explained in detail about how that works. But you know, in terms of buying beats or leasing beats or how does that process work with with your guys, I don't really. I mean, it's more of a close relationship with whoever I make beats with ye and get beats with.

28:24 It's usually just pam flat out yea all the day. Yeah. But the leasing can get really like they can charge X amount and then when you get X amount of streams you have to give somebody some money and all that stuff. I see, I didn't know about I didn't know about that part of it specifically until Hope was talking about it and he explained how that all works and how complicated it gets. And I didn't know about that part. Like I knew that, you know, you can buy beats or you can lease beats, and but I didn't know about the limits on streaming and what can happen if that limit succeeded and all that.

28:57 I had no idea. I've always wanted to get a lease through Static Selecta, get a couple of beats off of him. That's obviously a good name to use, and he's he's always on point with the beats. Speaking of he actually he worked with Marlon Kraft a couple of times. He's got it. He shouted him out on one of his projects and that was like, ooh, small connection. That's cool, like listening to this guy. And now he's working with the local legend that was out here. Now he's out there, So dope. Have you got to do any live shows where you open with somebody who's who's really inspired you, who's kind of a kind of a dream opportunity.

29:34 We've opened for a couple of people, Terminology, Cloud nine and Hampton Let's see uh Rex out of mass We did that at the Brick House in Dover. Who else? Jeez, I know there's a couple. I just can't think of it. I can't think of it. Terminology Rex, Oh, we the Soul Rebels. I got to open up with the old crew that I rocked with back in the day with the Soul Rebels at the press room, and they are just an awesome funk band from I believe New Orleans. I can't remember. Oh, but they've done. They did a wicked dope rendition of Phil Collins in the air tonight.

30:20 That was really cool. Yeah. Yeah, I highly suggest looking them up. But that's all I can think of right now. I can't think of anybody else. Well, you're getting some love in the chat room, Jamie Lee. Uh clatcherty oh clackerty Clackerty says, go follow you. Shout out to the baby's mama there. Oh okay, that's awesome, very good, very good. Oh, what is asthmatic? By the way, asthmatic? So there's always that like nickname for MC's right, you know, everybody has a name, a stage name and all that stuff.

30:52 Yeah. I started with asthmatic. Oh okay, because it had asthma with it. When I was a kid, never played sports. Yeah, I was always you know, not taking care of myself, so the breathing wasn't on point. And I want into work. Uh my buddy Bobby Shaw, shout out Bobby Shah. I haven't seen him in years, but I walked into work one day and he goes, Joey Asthmatic. I was like, dude, I gotta use that now, that's fantastic. Yeah, and then I just kind of got discouraged from it. So it's a name that I used. Oh okay, but real name, No Gimmicks is much easier.
