together sometimes sometimes sometimes they might not get along and sometimes i try to do a song to get them both on the so they can get along and you know move forward as i understand the method you begin the thing but you don't rap i don't rap you do a put the whole record together produced a whole record to get every song get in the studio with other producers another beat makers we collaborate orvis me you know coming together with huq ideas sometimes i write on some of the records and as well as you know i'm saying i'm on the record us a lot of me. you know i hear your voice you hear my voice saying i was saying you know if i don't call a rap i call it doing the cavett you know i might be on the hook might be on the intro but end of the day it's like quincy jones would put a racket together you know quincy very well salute because the jones are calling and home you know i'm like the berry gordy the place the jones of hip hop but quincy and berry never went on their own voice on the cut why do.

d.j. or is that a name you took to. get we came up from d.j. still d.j. and. did radio in miami on number one night show in the country about twelve years sheree are also you know on the turntables number one mic show in miami in our shot and i know james dishearten miami yeah i'll get there that's where i start. you just work with jay z. for the first time on his new album is a zero on the new album guess i change a lot yes always like we're going to. inspiration is somebody i look up to as a music mogul on and he's one of my favorite artists in the game so it was incredible just to be in the studio with him watching them you know not right now and down and actually go on the mike and and do the song and just you know this caption that energy him saying he was make some special. he. he's focused you know saying. he always doing stuff in would have reset as he does you know saying

sometimes the same as wraps you know he's going to do a corporate takeover and he does a corporate takeover you're saying like he talks things in existence is a genius yes he's a genius or you subservient to him i feel like we relate i feel like i'm a genius as well you know we both said terriers when is it come out the single is out now it's called they don't love you no more featuring jay z. work ross meek millie french montana myself it's doing extremely well singles are bigger it's turning into a single game on the singles or you know are selling a lot more than these albums and you know it's a good thing i'm saying all of the fans get what they want but there's our artists are going to want to body a work of album like a jay z. like a ross you say like a school would like a little wayne you say you don't want them body your works of albums you work with almost everyone is going to actually fuse questions about the properties who's the biggest perfectionist. i would say.

kanye west was the wildest i was me i'm the most productions. kanye west the peacemaker me is the one that you found them or maybe you don't want to say the most difficult to work with. i was i was difficult yes a very very is that the always were difficult a very he would want to his way on our last or no no class or all like i would say like like genius ways meaning as in just want to perfect i want to let that be trite drake is amazing artist genia you release your arms through your own label call we the best yes you know you name it that way you know you'd be the best i mean because you know it's the truth it's been like eight summers and just like you larry king you know you the best thing nobody can can have

a show like you some that i said i was going to do from the start you see other musicians who run labels hold their artists back. i have it the ice ramos of around great people you release your albums through their own label right. to read a best and cash money what's the key to having a successful label. in a competitive business like this caring caring caring for the for the hip hop culture caring for your artists on caring about the sound caring about way things are market kang caring you have to care for what you put out there europe tell us to me and you were born khalid bin abdul khaled how many arabs and hip hop on you know this is there's a few is a lot you know saying that's coming up but i would say me as a palestinian probably you know one of the few as well as french montana he's a moroccan him saying he's a successful artist is actually i'm a single too so

a muslim yes you practice the faith yes i practice it. but i could do a better job when i mean you know just because you know i feel like. you have to do certain things sometimes you know my work you know same class three times a day operate more than ten times a day do you suppose a place or my pray more pray walking in here walking out as a semi do it all comes you grew up in new orleans yes probably the number one music city in america yeah i was born in a one was how did that affect your. grade because you know i got to see the struggle for real you know saying and you know the passion of the music out there with the jazz and the soul and this. amazing record stores in the. us amazing so i want to turn to florida now to get a miami. you know my family moved to orlando so you know when i was in high school you know they they had to go back to the woman i want to stay in florida so i moved

to miami or did they. used to sell clothes you know saying you know your old ones broken the radio that was your start yeah i broke it apart radio first of the water you know secure location. also college radio then i got to the big station called debbie i know a lot of guys i worked in where i work in rio's edition new i got in to talk of interviewing. i did you know you wanted to be you know a producer of the most deejays stay deejays well you know i think deejays wear many hats some of them don't realize i mean has they wear like a d.j. just no music and no what the people want because when you're out there playing for a crowd you have to keep the crowd excited so i love making beats and i mean just that i love being in the studio putting things together if i was making it personally i knew what i wanted and i got the sounds from certain musicians to get a brick or was your big you know i came up the game is basically you know put now

takes in doing radio and doing clubs and then you know shot a fat joe on somebody like osama early in my career on big pine and then you know saying rick ross you know never want to be a singer and never want to sing a rap no you sell was going to be a music executives or you want to be a mogul absolutely that's what we do and that you have are heroes quincy jones went to rosalie c. jones jay z. birdman. puff daddy is a few out there your worst album was called suffering from success yeah did you suffer from so yeah so i mean i learned a lot through that process you know. nobody really told me clearly when you make you don't you know calm the noncom that people were actually trying to you know knock it down yeah like i've been to that but like this on another level though you know saying and at the same time is you know dealing with actually more stress with success you know saying so chorus suffer for success and then you know realize that

myself like man you know they talk about you when you ain't got nothing they talk about you when you do got some so you know when i figured that out i said you know what they suffer from success it's harder staying there than getting there oh yeah getting is more fun yeah i always say root for you and then when you get there it's like a make it harder for you part of the public perceive you you think oh my. i think they look at me like you know. a guy makes a happening and you know not only makes it happen they look at cattle like a winner and that's what cat is a winner does hip hop cover everything about me is lifestyle it's a lifestyle it's life it's not just music it's not just music it's clothes it's fashion it's all slain it's just you know our swag you know certain things that we do on this is a lifestyle is part of life as a change or has gotten bigger you know i'm on larry king right now is there an

originator of hip hop and definitely you've got the cool herc's african member has to start early in the game and it's kept going you're saying it just kept game bigger and bigger and bigger because it is going to stay singles market do you think unknown on a it's definitely a singles game but it's def we are album game too and only the best can you know produce them body of works like a work was a j z onas you know you got a new waters that kendrick lamar you got drake you know drake is a little wayne are you a it is are you good at predicting it's absolutely that's what i do i always put it i don't know is there a theme that runs through hits or is that through our dance or is i just know you know saudis know what the people want and i make sure i keep myself in tune in the streets you know saying you know what they want knowing the sound and that is that you have to make music where people can relate to that can understand no one's perfect. songs that you thought would be big and weren't on. i've been blessed to

always put out hit records but getting it on is the true but you know there's records out there off the album that we expect could be big and maybe they understand or they do understand it and maybe radio didn't want to take it there or maybe television didn't want to take it there sometimes is like to stay in the street they're actually baek and so you know that's a culture and that's what i mean hip hop is it's a lifestyle it's a life our guest is the emphatic d.j. khalid wall with this music mogul right after the break. we'll. technology innovation all the developments from around russia we've got the future covered. well you like me
