I just want the independent companies, too,
because, shoot, I'm independent.
It's crazy knowing that my music has gone global.
I don't feel like my album progressed me
as much as I thought it would. -It's becoming overwhelming.
All I want to do is just focus on the music.

I am ing exhausted.
I slept like 40 minutes last night.
Of course I waited until the last minute to pack,
so everything was, like, super hectic yesterday.
It is 11:07 and I'm supposed to leave Highland Park at 1 p.m.
So within the next two hours, I have to get these nails done.
It says it takes 30 minutes but when they say 30 minutes,
it means an hour.
Then I have to go to Brandy's house,
and I'm going to pick up my merch
from her that she folded and labeled for me.
Hey, are you home right now?
Can I come over right now to get the stuff?
[ Sighs ] All right, got it. Is that the real time?
-Yeah. -Oh, , okay.
Okay. Hey, Erin, can you help me or, Papa, can you help me?
Just put like half and half.
Like, if there's four smalls, put two here
and two here, mediums, same deal.
Put the shampoo in the little bottle
and then I forgot about this necklace
and then somebody's texting me
and then I need to think about the merch.
Oh, my God, you brought the wrong bag, I knew it.
-It's already 1:38. -.

It's been like a week and a half since the album dropped.
I'm kind of, like, bored a little bit
'cause I'm not working on anything right now.
I'm ready for tour, but it's definitely a relief
to finally just have it out
and, you know, see the response and all of that, so...
I don't feel like my album progressed me
as much as I thought it would
so I still feel like I'm in the exact same place.
I really wanted to flood the Internet
in hopes that multiple things
would go viral or multiple things
would be getting shared a lot at the same time.
I don't think I accomplished exactly
what I wanted to accomplish, but it still did very well,
and it's doing what it, you know, it's doing what
it's supposed to do for the most part.
I just had this idea in my head, and I wanted to see it through
and I knew that if I didn't do it,
I would always think about it.
A label could've offered me anything at that point in time,
and I would have still said no
because it was just like I want to do this project,
I want to do it my way, and I want to see how it goes
and I think I can do it on my own, you know?
I need to slow down with music anyways
and make sure it's quality over quantity.
It just took me away from real life for so long.
I want to do better with spending time with people,
with having my own time,
and just, you know, enjoy people's company
that I feel like I've been distant from for a while.

We went through like a rough patch
where we didn't talk for a couple years.
When I got older and he told me things
and then his life just made sense
and we would, like, tell stories back and forth
and our stories would be damn near identical.
We just related a lot. We're like damn near brothers.
We're going to Arizona and for four days
we have, like, 8-hour days of rehearsals.
All this is going to be on Kode.
<i>I know.</i> So it's more work than he's ever had to do.
-Hopefully he can get it down. <i>-Well, that's cool.</i>
I'm glad you've got somebody in your pocket
that knows how to do some programming
'cause that's essential.
Right, right. All right, then.
I'll let you go. Um... Talk to you soon?

Fashion in my life is a big deal.
I look at my music in clothes, like,
"What kind of outfit does this song wear?"
According to how fresh that outfit is,
that's how good that song is.
-It all hits retailers January. -It's great bead work for sure.
-Very unisex on that one. -Interesting.
Yeah. Today we're here to check out the showroom
at a brand called Ih Nom Un Nit. New brand.
I just want the independent companies, too,
because, shoot, I'm independent.
You know, the only way we eat is kind of off each other.
You gotta know how to support in order to get support.
Some people just make a jean and because of the name,
they say $2,000. -Right, right, right.
This is a jean where it's couture beading
from the pocket to the shin.
Even the pieces that you don't see,
there's still beading throughout. Uh...
So this was all, you know, done by hand,
which is why these jeans are $3,000.
So maybe the only downfall, if it's even a downfall,
is like, , you gotta pick your moment.
You know what I'm saying? You gotta pick your moment.
This is a either you're very select,
or you wear this every day. -Yeah, like, you kill it.
It's like one or the other. One or the other. You know what I'm saying?
You know, I like to know about the designer.
It's always cool to go to the show,
you get to see exclusive stuff.
You know, you get to feel the energy from the brand,
from the source, and to me that's kind of important.
Majid, thank you for letting me check out that brand, man.
-I appreciate it. -These jeans,
going live tonight. [ Snaps fingers ]
That means I got gems to bust or whatever.
[ Laughs ] You gotta go collect those bags.
It's a good -- it's a good piece.

Sean: Sometimes all I want to do is just focus on the music
and everything just be cool.
And I think me not having a manager
is just kind of becoming a little bit overwhelming.
A lot of independent artists coming up,
they don't have that support system
where it's like you have somebody handling your business
100% of the time.
You know, when you get to that level,
that's when you're able to create freely
and you don't have to have worries or stress
about anything on the business side of it.
That's where I want to get to.

Pleasure, nice to meet you, too.
-How you doing? -Good, good.
I'm glad we're finally, you know... I know.
Face to face and everything, which is cool. Yeah.
I took a listen to your music.
-You did? -Yeah.
What'd you think? It's great. I mean the fact that you have --
there's almost 15 songs on there,
you really give a nice, broad, you know, range of your styles.
-Yeah, definitely. -It was cool.
I mean, even in your lyrics, I noticed there was a lot of positivity in your lyrics.
-Yeah, yeah, definitely. -And I really dig that
because it's not just meaningless.
Right, there's substance behind it.
Yeah, there's actually a -- yeah, there's a story.
There's some heart, and I like that.
I want to make sure I'm saying something. Totally.
At least let me say something before my time's up.
Yeah. You're looking to -- you're looking to perform, obviously.
You know, doing everything independently --
like, literally, it's independent, it's all me.
Of course. Everything is coming from my fingertips
to the keyboard to the computer. Right.
But it hasn't been easy, man, it hasn't been easy.
So, you know, shows are like my main priority, my main goal.
Okay. Because being out there on stage --
one, you're eating. -Right.
You know, you're getting paid, of course, and two --
you're getting out there, so you're growing your fan base. Totally.
Would you feel comfortable like, if, let's say,
you had a show come up in a week?
Yeah. Would you feel comfortable that you can basically --
-Yeah, yeah. -That's awesome.
-Absolutely. -That's great.
I'm at the point right now where I need a hip hop artist.
I want to work with them,
I want to mold them, I want to help them. Right.
And, you know, that is the goal because
I've met with a few in the past.
They just didn't have that, uh, pizzazz, you know?
-Right, right, right. -And it really wasn't --
I didn't have the time to wait for them to do the buildup.
Yeah, yeah. Everything keeps moving, you have to be ready.
-Ready to go. -Right. Exactly.
For somebody like you, who -- you're ready, you know? Right.
So it's, like, it's a lot easier
for somebody like me to go all right,

Reverie: I get kind of sad when I leave, too.
Like, I'm excited, but I get kind of sad.
Especially, like, when all my -- like, when my dad comes,
I know I'm going to miss them.
I was surprised to see my dad before I left.
It's not that I'm surprised that he would come,
it's that I don't know when he can come.
My dad works so much, so when he makes time
to come see me, I really appreciate it.
When I was 4, my parents got divorced,
and my dad moved away to the beach.
Growing up, my dad was like a Disneyland dad.
I just didn't really realize, like, all of the
that my mom was doing because my dad wouldn't help her out,
and as an adult, I realized what was really going on.
My dad being human, really.
You know, at the end of the day, that's what it was.
My dad's a great guy, he showed me how to laugh growing up.
He showed me so much love, and I love him for that,
and now I have made the realization
that you can't look at your parents as gods.
You have to see them as people because that's what they are.
It's crazy, like, knowing that my music has gone global.
It just goes to show you how similar the struggles
are all around the world.
I felt so alone, you know,
until I discovered underground hip hop, really.
As my music has grown,
I feel less and less like that every day.
You have the... We just got to the airport.
Are you ready? You ready to go to Europe, dog?
I'm ready to go to Europe, dog.
Ooh!
Traveling the world now with my best friend is crazy.
Like, if you would've told me
I'll be touring through Europe with Enkrypt
when we were 15, I would be like,
" you," you know? Like, it's...
I trip out every day, like, when I look at my life.
-There you go. -Yeah!
Are you traveling the world with your best friend?
Didn't think so. [ Laughter ]
I think I'm at the highest point of my life right now.
So I basically just ed myself
because we booked the tickets for tomorrow,
but we need to leave today, and there's no more flights.
Kode is in there programming the lights for tour.
So right now I have one out of 22 songs programmed.
And now I'm currently in the studio with Ketzil.
-You got to get it again. -Right, right.
Okay, let's run it. Gotta get that energy slightly up.
Nobody owes anybody anything, of course,
but there's nothing wrong with helping people.
