0:00
how does it feel right now cuz I feel
0:01
like we're watching you in transition
0:03
like I feel like we're watching you
0:05
experiencing your dreams in real time
0:07
like being on this show what are you
0:09
feeling to live your dreams now people
0:11
get a chance to do that that's that's
0:15
like I don't I don't know like it's
0:17
happening so fast you know like I don't
0:20
really get to live in the moment of all
0:22
the things that I'm doing cuz it's
0:23
something every day every week like but
0:26
it feels amazing to have set a goal and
0:29
I'm accomplishing the things you know
0:34
um I yeah I don't know it's it's crazy
0:39
like and the thing was like I said this
0:41
wasn't even my dream like this is my
0:43
brother's dream so it means a lot more
0:46
to me because it's for a purpose like I
0:48
was a basketball player that's what I
0:50
did like I played in college I played a
0:53
little overseas and that that was my
0:56
dream but now to take on like what he
0:59
wanted to do make it happen it's like I
1:03
feel I feel like a a living ique in
1:05
preparation can you talk a little bit
1:07
about how did you prepare for the moment
1:08
because I feel like some people just
1:10
think luck is so much a part of it but
1:12
how did you keep practicing your skills
1:14
to meet each moment because like you
1:16
keep meeting the moment yeah I so I
1:18
honestly every time um I talk about the
1:21
story of how I first was going to be on
1:24
Rhythm and flow in 2020 I always think
1:28
like if I would have did it then I
1:30
wouldn't have been ready so I needed
1:32
that time that four years to keep
1:35
perfecting my craft to keep doing all of
1:37
these shows to keep you know being in
1:39
the studio like I had to get better and
1:42
mentally I feel like I needed to be in
1:44
that car because when I got on the show
1:48
to be able to write a song remember it
1:51
and perform it in 24 hours that's a
1:52
mental thing yeah so I mentally beat
1:56
everybody that was on that show it could
1:58
have been a lot more artists on there
1:59
that was more talented than me that you
2:02
know could have made better songs but
2:03
like my my mind was on a whole another
2:06
level cuz I'm like I just stayed in the
2:08
car for four months like what can I do
2:10
yeah I love this Detroit Diamond you you
2:13
learning wow and how about
2:16
this she she go she goes to the Rhythm
2:19
and flow and easily one of the most
2:22
successful rappers of all time Eminem is
2:26
there go and they're both from Detroit
2:30
and then you wondering if is he even
2:32
going to talk to me right what's going
2:34
through your head like when he walked in
2:36
I was just like this man floating
2:38
towards me like he he just looked like a
2:40
ghost I'm like he's real like I'm I've
2:43
been watching Eminem since I was a
2:45
little kid you know like so to see him
2:47
in real time and then he just was like
2:49
right before the battle he literally
2:51
walked up and whispered in my ear and
2:53
said you're the only one here from
2:57
down my God yo play Lose Yourself right
3:01
now right or pressure or or My Song
3:05
pressure because that's what I felt like
3:06
I was like I already have pressure cuz
3:08
I'm I am the only one here from Detroit
3:10
so I can't go home in in Detroit I had
3:13
no idea we was going home to Detroit to
3:15
do the battle like they literally just
3:17
put us on a on a bus in a flight that
3:20
same day like y'all going so I had no
3:23
idea but after he said that I was like
3:27
afterwards um I didn't actually get to
3:29
talk to afterwards like it was just you
3:31
know it was a lot moving they actually
3:34
like sent us back to the hotel after
3:37
after you made it through you went back
3:39
to the hotel to get prepared for the
3:40
next thing cuz that show was literally
3:42
like I thought watching season one that
3:44
it was fake like yeah it ain't no way
3:46
they writing a song in one day and
3:48
performing it like that that's
3:50
impossible but no we was really doing it
3:52
y'all were really doing it we was really
3:53
doing that's really R maybe two days at
3:55
the max that we was we had for that's
3:58
that's real rap you know yeah right yeah
4:01
this is why we tell artists like you
4:03
have to practice every day it it will
4:05
help you with the it's the exercise of
4:07
it all you know even if you write a
4:09
couple of bars cuz she beautifully broke
4:11
down the process of it it's like you
4:13
have to write it you have to memorize
4:15
and then perform that's three different
4:17
mindsets you know what I mean so what
4:19
you write may not always come out like
4:22
you want to and then you got to perform
4:24
it that's breath control and everything
4:26
else these even if you spend an hour a
4:28
day two hours a day practicing these
4:30
things it helps for moments like that so
4:33
it it's such a process
