2:42
the top or does it feel like you got more to do it feels like you got more to do in a way of like okay you really
2:48
can't place no limits on yourself now Like if this is what the world sees you worthy of then you doing something right
2:55
So like dream bigger than that Even go harder And to me it was kind of like the
3:00
gas in my tank to really make me feel like I'm doing something for real you know cuz when you working and it's in
3:06
your world you just head head to the ground chasing everything But when you get the acknowledgement then you kind of
3:12
like they seeing something Yeah this is it was it felt like the acknowledgement that I think I didn't know I could even
3:19
have at this time So it taught me to like really not put myself in a box and
3:24
not you know what I was thinking like I got to put an album out first and then I got to do this and then maybe they'll look and and they'll see But no it's
3:30
like that all happened when I was just being authentic and and just working for everything that I want So you know I it
3:37
inspired me to be bigger Coco Jones it inspired everything she says now as a quarter Absolutely You can hear it right
3:43
ask her Watch Watch this Ask a question Watch this No No Sway in the morning
3:49
Sway's universe cuz he's not playing We so real here Way to go This is the land of manifestation in with with Sway So my
3:56
thing for you is I want you to play Whitney Houston Like I just want you to be the next Whitney Houston in this next
4:03
film Was that anywhere on your wish imagination dream bigger you can do more
4:08
don't put yourself on the box list you know what i have always looked up to Whitney She's the epitome obviously of
4:15
of everything that I would hope to have one day So I think that would be amazing Honestly I never thought of it but I
4:21
didn't think I would win a Grammy before I put out an album You better talk about it I don't know Coco Jones as the next
4:26
Whitney Houston There it is It's in the universe That's it It's the one Coco you always got great energy What What's
4:33
changed about your life do you still live in the same place since you got the Grammy are you still with the Oh
4:39
hell You do okay I still live in this That didn't that didn't change the whole thing like that I mean you still got
4:46
canned food in your cabinet So you know what Sway why is it cans though because she was struggling so I know she had
4:52
canned food you know I'm crying Uh I definitely got a couple cans of green beans just in case just in case things
4:58
go wrong No Um what's changed i think the I wouldn't say the workload because
5:04
I'm It's still a lot Yeah But it's like the quality of things has kind of changed So I might be doing the same
5:11
amount of work but it's like oh now it's this platform or like oh now it's this you know this panel and these people are
5:17
looking now So honestly I feel like I'm still hustling the same amount but it's
5:23
it's a different tier I guess you know cuz that that being able to have Grammy award winner in front of my name it does
5:29
it it did it did something It did something very respectful up in here So I love it man We got Tracy G and Mike
5:35
Muse over in New York You can see them on the screen right there I'm going let them jump in too and we can start talking about this album that I listen
5:41
to Inside Out Go ahead Tracy G Yes Yes Yes The album is delicious Go You are
5:48
such a lovers girl Um you can hear that through and through through all of the
5:53
lyricism Um but I also feel like not only are you willing to give so much of
5:59
yourself to someone else I want to talk about how much you give to yourself being your own lover girl you know just
6:06
for the sake of Coco Because when you walk into a room or on a carpet there is
6:13
a very specific energy that I feel like you have It's just so magnetic and confident and elevated And I and I
6:21
wonder if this is something if there's an any area of your life that you consciously worked on to grow into this
6:30
woman that steps into the room of this energy That is Thank you That is so sweet Thank
6:36
you so much for saying that Um you know what real real life I'm I'mma keep it
6:41
real Okay Okay So I definitely used to have my issues with colorism right and it wasn't something that I kind of chose
6:46
It was kind of what was taught to me like okay I guess the these type of girls just are better they get more jobs So I wanted to learn about them And I
6:53
actually one of my best friends we we're different shades And when I really feel like we hung out I was like "Y'all are
6:58
just like me." Like everybody's still struggling with insecurities still got things they don't like about themselves
7:04
still got work to do on themselves So I'm like I'm just not going to let the world make me feel like I'm a lesser
7:10
version of of a quality girl of of beauty of all of these things if when I talk to these girls they got the same
7:16
issue as me So we all fighting for our lives So it kind of shifted my mind to be like that might be the outer
7:22
perspective but inwardly if you ain't got it you just don't got it If you don't love yourself you just don't love
7:28
yourself It doesn't matter what shade range you're in you know And it really shifted my mindset And then I also was
7:33
really big on therapy I've been with the same therapist for like 5 years Hey years you wild You're wild He's Thank
7:41
you for the acknowledgement He's wild bro Like this is every day And you know what and I'm going to keep supporting my girl I support I support my black
7:48
therapist black therapist Okay It is an investment It is an investment and
7:53
really truly the the return on the investment is a unbreakable self- knowing and an
7:59
unstoppable like self-love you know that could never be determined by any of these accolades It can't come and go
8:05
It's just so solid I love it You know when you when you when you say that um it makes me think of the song I want to
8:12
say be by myself right and it was inspired by a person who tried to make
8:18
you believe that you could not be successful without them without the without their network the whole night
8:25
And and that's a true story Is that Yeah definitely What can you tell us about how did that person make you feel and
8:30
then how did you rectify that well I think at the time I was very um
8:36
vulnerable because I think a lot had disappointed me So I was kind of trying
8:42
to find confidence that this was going to work that my talent was going to do
8:47
anything And you know at the time if you ain't got out here you could be really on your own you know if you ain't got
8:53
people looking out for you who who can see things in people And luckily I have my family and they but they were far
8:59
away you know so they would tell me like this ain't right you know but they're not here with me so you kind of have to
9:04
like they would tell you that the way that person was treating you wasn't right Yeah like this situation ain't
9:10
right Like who you are right now isn't right Like the way you you you've lost your light you know in a sense Um and I
9:16
think at that time I was just like I don't know if this is going to work I need to fail safe and this person makes me feel like they know the answers
9:23
They've got it and they'll they'll make it happen for me cuz I don't trust me I don't trust my talent I don't trust
9:28
these people I don't trust anything But you make you seem to say you got it So you can you can be responsible you know
9:35
I wanted to give the pressure of if this fails I wanted it off me you know So at the time I was going to take that in
9:41
exchange for this like transactional very toxic dynamic But I will say having
9:47
gone through that taught me that I will never let anybody have that much power over me again And it inspired the song
9:53
So I'll take the lesson I love that Be by myself I'm going to play that song and come back All right And open up the
10:00
phone lines for questions Coco Jones is here
10:05
8887423345 Shay45 be by myself
10:10
though I'm not that's how I am I can relate to that Heather B well you know
10:17
ain't nothing wrong with loving you I know that's right you know what he is he's what he mean you know
10:24
Sway um is picky are you a Cancer I'm a Capricorn okay Capricorn we weren't going to go into
10:30
that you know So he in and out you know he's not decide one day blue the other day next five minutes green You know
10:38
it's just it's hard with him You very indecisive with it It's not that I'm indecisive I won't say
10:45
that Uh I think I'm particular Yeah Right And so I think after a while you
10:51
kind of know what you favor and what you don't And what's like an immediate deal
10:56
breaker like "Oh dang You ruined it Can't cook." I was look Yeah I can tell
11:02
you everything Really oh my god What sway is out if you can't cook What okay
11:08
So very traditional vibes to me I'm kind of traditional I mean I'm simple Like you don't That's it though It's like he
11:15
just want food I can figure everything can be like "Dang let me throw them canned
11:20
green beans away." I can figure the rest out Coco But you know that's the thing You know I grew up around some powerful
11:26
women who worked by day and at night they wanted to nurture their their their
11:32
family and they and that was their love language They cooked My grandmother Elsie Waters shout out to Mama Elsie
11:39
Pretty Pat Shout out to Pretty Pat You know a lot of them My auntie Sia rest in power That's what they did So I think I
11:45
look for that You know that's part of my What's your deal breaker dealbreaker is if you don't have a relationship with
11:51
God Oh that's real You out sway
11:58
N ain't true Get behind these Satan You're bugging right now Don't believe
12:05
that Do not believe that Look I'm not saying you got to be over here knowing everything in and out in and out But you
12:11
that I feel like the character got to align You know what I'm saying you got to you got to have that conviction Cuz if you're not scared of something you
12:17
definitely not scared of doing me wrong That's right I don't want no smoke with you Do they have to share the same religion as you though Coco is it just
12:24
having a strong belief in God but say I don't know they're a Buddhist and you're
12:30
a Christian Does it need to be aligned in that way i think for me I do want to
12:36
have the same religion I think it's it's the same language in a sense you know and I al I already feel like I have a
12:42
lot of opposition against a successful relationship cuz in this public eye you
12:47
already All right Now you already have that on top Yeah I work I'm hustling So
12:52
I'm already like I'm not going to be as accessible for real I barely have like time for a personal life and um and then
12:59
I'm here and I'm you know I'm being perceived and all that stuff So I I think for me I'm trying to like have as much similar as possible just to make it
13:07
a better chance of survival right got to be a believer Yeah And Heather take that back You know I'm a believer What
13:14
she threw that heathen thing on me I ain't call you a heathen I said get behind me Okay
13:21
It's my brother We We fight every day I know Y'all y'all I can't with y'all Y'all are literally like "Yo for real."
13:27
Yeah And especially when the mics come on That's when she turn up Why Not boy is the name of the new album Um that's
13:33
also the u one of the singles for YG Marley Good friend of Lonnie Lights Lonnie Khani That's his buddy They hang
13:40
out right yeah Yeah Yeah That's my good brethren Okay Oh the fact the way he said brethren I already know I already
13:45
know what it He said next time sign your next album if you need that kind of voice he'll be glad to do a a feature with you Coco Okay Say less
13:55
Mike Muse You want to jump in yeah I do Coco I'm such a huge fan of yours Um you said something really interesting about
14:02
uh now the Grammys is in front of your names and has allowed you to get on other a new type of platforms I'm just
14:08
wondering what type of pressure now do you feel with that because I believe with you what I've always enjoyed about
14:14
you is your performance Um I feel like every time you hit a stage every time you show up on a television set you always deliver And I think that artists
14:22
don't really understand the value of the consistency of that And so I'm just wondering for you how does that impact
14:28
you um I think the pressure has never let off Honestly I think it's it's different
14:35
now because that I have all of these uh accolades and I have recognition but that inner hunger is not has never
14:43
changed I feel like that is the only consistent and I'm very very tough on myself even with this album Um it was
14:50
slated to come out in October of last year but I was just like I don't feel like I I don't know I don't feel like I
14:55
got everything that it needs to be and it and it wasn't like panning out seamlessly So I was like the opposition
15:02
makes me relook at everything You know what I'm saying if I feel like I'm pushing against something that's supposed to naturally flow I got to
15:07
revisit it So for me I think it's this inner athlete in me that's always like
15:12
you could do you could go harder you could do more you could work harder You know what I'm saying you could give more on the on these shows And and um while I
15:20
do love and appreciate the the recognition in my own self it's like
15:25
it's a tough checklist of things that I got to mark off I don't know if I'll ever fully have it marked off So it's
15:30
it's never fully done It's never fully done It's never fully done right no it's never fully done Um what did you have um
15:38
apprehension about releasing this one or did you feel like this album Um no By the time that it by the time
15:45
that like I'll put it like this When I got to the the finishing touches of it I
15:50
I remember I was crying like I was grieving kind kind of because like it felt like a relief of something heavy
15:56
off of my back you know so that type of feeling of like I can breathe that pressure lifted made
16:03
me feel like this is done this is done because before that I would feel it like no it's just not it's just not hitting
16:09
enough like there's something missing you know um so yeah I think it was not as much nerve-wracking nerve-wracking
16:16
more of a relief and more like I'm proud of this I'm proud of this chapter and I'm excited to see the feedback I'm
16:22
excited to grow as an artist and then look back because I feel like I'm train I'm changing so much there's so much new
16:29
information there's so many shifting perspectives as I'm climbing this climb and I still have such a ways to go I
16:35
mean it's my first album ever Your first album People don't even realize it's your first album I know you did the EP
16:40
right in the deluxe version but this is the first album And Heather she's written over 90 90% of the material
16:47
you've written yourself So what we're hearing say for example let me go to
16:52
some of my lyrics here Do it We love them packing a lyric I love Okay
17:00
let's do it Thing for you Mhm Mhm You saying got a thing for you baby I would
17:05
even go insane for you Telling us we're moving too fast Don't care what they say
17:12
I'm ready to cross without looking both ways That's like reckless abandon Like
17:18
you know what I mean i'm jumping in head first Facts Facts You You've done that You've jumped in head first with love
17:25
Well I feel like you kind of have to love like you've never been hurt before And I've seen that quote I think that was Tony Gaskins who said that But I
17:32
feel like it's kind of scary in a way to be vulnerable And so you got to let the
17:37
logic be outside cuz if you really think back on what you've been through ain't nobody trying to get ain't nobody trying
17:44
to do that again you know so you want to avoid that at all costs But how can you really truly love somebody if you're not
17:49
open all the way so yeah you kind of got to be reckless and and that's what I feel like that faith is and that trust is in that other person You go on to say
17:58
"Oh okay Uh please don't make me look crazy I'm
18:05
terrified to give you my all but I have to try And that's pretty much supporting what you just said Yeah I do feel like
18:12
in this time in being in a relationship I've never experienced anything like this This is all new for me Everything
18:20
really people watching me people people liking my music and and having this momentum as well as people caring about
18:26
my personal life I've never experienced that And even as a kid like the media training is you don't even talk about
18:32
anything if it's not your job If it's not the thing you're there to promote you know you you're taught how to pivot
18:37
at such a young age So yeah I don't want to ever have anything on the internet that has me looking crazy It's a scary
18:45
scary thought because that's a permanent place you know it's terrifying Yeah I've had a few things yo Yeah you have Yeah
18:53
Yeah Yeah I won't get into them but yeah there's been a few things Dang What I mean what can you do at that point you
18:58
know you just got life got to go on right well you face it Yeah You face it You like addressed it Yeah I've
19:04
addressed it I addressed it Uh you face it you know you address it and then you move forward Yeah You don't look back
19:10
You don't look to the side And when people try to have you relive it you let them stay in that snag You've already
19:17
faced it You've already addressed it You move forward you know and you get out of that snag Yeah that's real So that's an
19:23
interesting thing that you said because I'm stuck with thinking about Coco you saying dealing with colorism and issues
19:28
cuz there a million people may watch this and and some women who may have had
19:34
those thoughts or feel like they're dealing with it Yeah How do they get past it because I think the end result
19:40
for for them may be like well she made it past that She's famous she's beautiful she has a Grammy television
19:46
shows but for a young lady that may not have that right now per se what what
19:51
would you tell her m I think a lot of it I mean I had to shift this mindset way
19:56
before anybody was checking for me again I just couldn't live like that You know I couldn't live thinking that I was
20:01
lesser than Um so for me I think talking to myself really changed the way I felt
20:09
about myself because I do feel like you'll you'll say things about yourself like oh and you you lowkey ragging on
20:15
yourself Yeah And that will perpetuate you feeling low you know And so I would
20:20
say things in the mirror and I'd be saying them kind of like laughing at myself like "Girl you do not think that." But I would just say it every day
20:27
Every day I would say the things that I wanted to believe about myself until it became my reality and I really started
20:33
to walk in it and I started to walk taller Um and then also it goes back to
20:38
kind of what I said about every every race every shade has the opportunity to
20:45
be insecure and not love themselves and to not choose to love themselves But it can be a choice that you make It's going
20:51
to be like probably unnatural because nobody ever taught you that But it's something you can learn how to do you
20:57
know and it it makes for a better a better life in general So you make better decisions in work in friendships
21:03
in relationships But it's something you you unlearn what you was taught and you relearn something completely different
21:09
that feels unal Learn what you were taught Right Coco Jones man We got post
21:14
Grammy Coco Jones Little different from preg Grammy Coco Jones Tracy G I know
21:20
you hear her right absolutely Y'all clapping on screen Thank y'all Koko can we also talk about
21:28
your your your style evolution because you have been in this game for quite a
21:34
long time going back to Disney and now you're in your your your late 20s and
21:39
there's this grown woman that is blossoming before us and that grown woman needs to have a wardrobe that
21:45
matches her spirit that matches this current chapter Talk to us about um your
21:50
style and how it has shifted over the years and how you would define it right now right now Yes Thank you Perfr I
21:59
definitely have had some treacherous looks in the past and I do feel like you got to go through the worst to get to
22:05
the better but luckily I was a kid so I can just chalk it up to my mama dressing I'm sorry Blame your mama Damn all that
22:11
glitter girl what was we doing um but I think now it's important for me I really
22:17
didn't know much about fashion I mean I grew up in Lebanon and we was getting everything late You know what I'm saying
22:22
and [ __ ] we was late with it We did not know like what was really hot at the time I'm sorry us We know that about us
22:29
But um I think I had a really good team who kind of taught me like style taught
22:35
me fashion and taught me brands And I'm really big on like blackowned brands I'm like "Okay so who is this and what are
22:40
they doing and how can I support them and how can I because you know me wearing an outfit is also publicity for
22:46
a brand." So I want to be educated on who these people are and what do they believe in I'm not just going to be wearing anybody's stuff you know So it
22:52
kind of kind of forced me to learn more about fashion If I have anything to say really about my fashion I mean it's
22:58
still kind of evolving I'm not going to act like I know everything and I'm like I'm I'm really more vocals focused and
23:04
the outfit can match the performance but I like I like straightforward I like simple pieces
23:11
that are very quality and intentional I'm really more of like a keep it simple like type of look Are you interested in
23:17
being like in any of the top you know the fashion list when they say "Oh the best dress for the Grammys things like
23:24
that." Do you look at comments and even use them as a stylist per se
23:30
i definitely can respect the power of fashion And I do believe that if you are
23:35
intentional with the way you look you can have campaigns in the future And campaigns are another way to have your face everywhere And what comes with your
23:41
face comes with your music and comes with your brands and your shows So I recognize the power of it I do think that it's something you have to invest
23:48
time and energy in and effort in to get that payoff but I do see the benefit of it So yeah I would want to do that Shout
23:54
out your therapist You back on I'm back on the therapist Yeah I like your therapist That's I'm
24:01
hearing it I'm telling you Wait You want me to I'm not going to do your name girl I'm not going to do that I'll give you
24:07
that on the side I'll give you that on the side I got you She on the west Where she at she's um She's on the East Coast She's on the East Coast She's She's very
24:14
She's very great I mean clearly I hear it man True I need to go to your therapist You know what um I want to ask
24:20
you about a song on an album where um I thought it was a real creative way to hear Future Okay Um you know I'm a big
24:28
fan of Future You know early in his career I got a chance to sit and talk with him a a whole lot when I was over
24:33
at MTV And this particular song Most Beautiful Design it feels like y'all
24:40
doing a duet right and it feels like he's mostly almost singing to me And
24:46
some of the things he says in it I wonder what conversation did y'all have prior to uh writing this song But he
24:52
says um in it they trying to treat me like I'm not part of the human race So I
24:57
went out of space ever since They're trying to treat me like a womanizer and I don't want to be like that I don't
25:04
want to be that way Is that not deep that was deep I know When I was listening to it I was like "Wow." I know
25:11
I was like "Okay vulnerable." Yeah I really was I was really impressed and and glad that I got to like have a song
25:18
where Future is showing the softer side of of himself and and big upping women I
25:24
mean I feel like a lot of music R&B and rap we all do the toxic thing and that's
25:29
very much a common thing that we all sing about But that was so so refreshing and I really got to big up London London
25:34
on the track who was the the bridge for both of our worlds to really coexist He knows me We've developed a great
25:40
chemistry together working since my EP He knows Future very well And he kind of put that all the puzzle pieces together
25:46
for that to like really materialize into what it is But it's so dope I feel like
25:51
R&B and rap like that used to be the thing That used to be the thing And I I
25:57
was so glad I got to you know bring that back in a way um with my album But to hear him say that we were having this
26:02
conversation earlier about the the messaging that we we hear in R&B and rap
26:08
You know I have somebody who programs told me "Well that's cuz you're getting older." I said "Nah man This was like how I felt at 19." Like you know how we
26:15
talk about love and how we talk about women you know and and what we say to hear future be that vulnerable Did you
26:22
talk to him about it at all or you just said thank you i mainly said thank you
26:28
Thank you Trying to get the verse snatched off
26:33
Keep it simple with a thank you Appreciate you big dog But no um we weren't together when we recorded but we
26:39
did get to link up later on and and just like vibe I got to like watch him record some of his other stuff But um he is
26:46
really like a song machine Yeah Like the way that he's recording there's beats being sent right there in real time He's
26:51
recording them right there in real time getting the feedback and then we start another song Like I I ain't never seen it done like that Wow But it's really
26:58
really impressive Well let's play the song Most beautiful design All right This is Coco Jones London on the track

project We we didn't get to all the songs but uh but you got you got some um
35:31
really powerful songs on this project and I want to say congratulations I like your courageousness in this project
35:38
Thank you Thank you so much because you got a song called Taste I know Tracy probably like that one Um because it got
35:45
those Britney Britney Spear toxic lyrics in it you know and and I didn't I wouldn't even know assume that Tracy's
35:51
the biggest Britney Spears fan on the planet So okay you know So I I'm so glad to hear that I'm so glad to hear that
35:58
because I feel like sometimes I feel like in R&B you only are allowed to tap into this certain space of like paying
36:04
homage and being like this and singing like this But I'm like I also want people to remember I did the whole Disney thing for like a huge huge chunk
36:11
of my formative years Like I have inspiration from the most bubblegum pop songs I was singing that That was part
36:18
of my that was part of me growing up and discovering myself musically So when I flipped the Britney sample that was
36:23
genuinely something I was really inspired to do you know and I was nervous I'm not even going to hug cuz
36:29
it's very different from ICU very different from here we go But I try to give like all the sides of me on this
36:34
album and just let people choose They choose the flavor Britney Power Don't don't you know you got to you got to
36:40
give it Tracy know about that Britney Power right brittney [ __ ] Hello
36:46
I was like who gonna drop the quote i love it I love it And then the the the the the the inspired by Lenny Williams I
36:53
love you song uh oh but what's the full here we go uh oh that's dangerous you went into a classic Thank you scary for
37:02
sure it was but I feel like um I was just so inspired by that Lenny Williams that that raw vocal he was just he was
37:09
just putting it all out on the line on that track and so for me I was just like this feels right and I can't really
37:16
wonder and worry about like oh dang I'm doing a sample they're going to they're going to think this and that I just got to go with what feels right cuz that's
37:22
that's what music is all about And I feel like that's what connects with people When you can tell like oh they was in that studio and they knew they
37:28
knew they was doing something real They they was putting it out on the line It translates you know It definitely translate Congratulations That's a
37:35
that's you know sometimes when you tamper with the classics you could you could really fumble Mo that's real You
37:41
