All hip hop is here with a legend. Tell
0:05
State my name, gangster. My name is Raz
0:10
All right. Tell us about your new album.
0:12
The name of the album is called Leopard
0:14
And uh it's uh I think it's four 14
0:17
songs, uh one interlude, and we added uh
0:21
an additional song on the digital. Uh
0:23
the digital song is called [ __ ] Lions
0:25
which uh is the song on Dave Chappelle's
0:29
newest uh Netflix special. It's the
0:31
theme song that he comes out on. So we
0:32
added that as a bonus.
0:36
Album drops February 13th.
0:44
man? Um the people on this album I I
0:48
would be remiss, man. I'm not gonna I'm
0:50
gonna forget to mention people, but uh
0:53
the mechanics produced on it, the beat
0:56
miners produced on it. Uh I am
0:59
forgetting a lot of producers. I'm sorry
1:02
obviously I got you know my family me
1:06
familia. So Coast Contra's on there with
1:10
Uh we did one for the city. Me and Ab
1:13
Soul got one. That's crazy. Um so salute
1:18
uh, me and Trad got a ill record on
1:20
there. I am forgetting so many people,
1:23
man. It's it's a plethora of of I I I
1:27
didn't want to have a a million
1:28
features, but the people that are on
1:30
there are supposed to be on those
1:31
records and they took the records up,
1:33
you know, a level. And so, I'm I'm sorry
1:36
for all the people I didn't mention, but
1:37
a lot of cool people.
1:38
Good. We got you. It's a dope album.
1:40
I've heard it. It's incredible. And it's
1:43
great to hear lyricism and beats in
1:46
harmony, not just lyrics or not just
1:49
Talk to talk about that real quick.
1:51
Um uh this this record for me was uh I
1:56
was just feeling some type of way. I was
1:57
actually trying to create a different
1:58
album at the time. And uh
2:01
at some point what I realized I was
2:06
this album called 13th Grade. I felt
2:08
like one day it hit me and I was like
2:12
like fire is hot, water is wet, and ley
2:15
face. So, [ __ ] it. So, I just decided I
2:17
was just going to try to convey that.
2:20
So, I it kind of the title song kind of
2:25
sets it off. The title song is the first
2:26
song on the album and and once I I kind
2:29
of pinpointed where I was going, the
2:31
rest of it just fell into place. Um, and
2:33
I'm really I'm really blessed that the
2:34
production it it's it's it's an MC's
2:37
album. Uh, but I think we have quote
2:42
normal people records or, you know,
2:45
common rap community records. There's
2:47
some easy, you know, easy listening and
2:49
some dope records and some West Coast
2:50
records, but I think it's overall just a
2:53
a dope hip-hop album. I think it's
2:55
wellrounded and I'm I'm I'm really
2:56
excited for people to hear it. I'm
2:58
curious to hear like uh I have a song
3:00
called Miss Me Yet with the the amazing,
3:02
you know, I think it won two two
3:04
Grammys, Timothy Bloom. So, it's kind of
3:06
nice when girls are like, "Oh, I like
3:08
that song." Because they never tell me
3:09
that. So they're always like, "You
3:12
you're a nice looking dude. Why you hate
3:14
the women?" And always talk about all
3:15
this, you know, angry black man [ __ ]
3:17
I'm like, "I don't know. That's who I
3:18
am." But we got a couple of songs that
3:21
it's not contrived. I'm glad that I
3:23
married we were able to marry really
3:25
cool production that that runs the
3:28
spectrum of what I enjoy from super west
3:30
coast [ __ ] all the way to the most
3:32
underground hip-hop backpack [ __ ] We
3:34
even got a drill like drill baseline
3:36
record. It's called Hit List, which is
3:39
actually my O to uh Biggie.
3:41
Unbelievable. So, uh Hitless is one of
3:43
my favorites. That's the single that's
3:44
out now. And my man uh uh
3:47
Gifted Glitch shot the video. The
3:49
video's ill. Who's the only [ __ ] that
3:51
can hang from a blue Louis Vuitton Gucci
3:54
uh uh rag and and [ __ ] spit bars?
3:58
There it is. All right. Damn.
