Just a people party, live from the blue note, live from the blue note, live from the blue note, live from the blue note, live from the blue note, live from the blue note, come on.

Peace and love party, people. It's Tyler quality to BKMC. You are now watching the worlds or listening to the world's best podcast, the people's party. I am your host.

We are still at the blue note. Of course, the legendary blue note in New York City. We are enjoying our run here. Thank you for everybody who's tuning in and listening to the stories. And I love how the stories interact with the jazziness because the importance of this club and what it represents the jazz music is very important. And today's guest has wrapped on some great jazz samples. But beyond wrapping on some great jazz samples, I don't know if I would be the artist I am to

today, if it wasn't for today's guest. He has impacted me, inspired me, influenced me in many ways. He's my business partner in many ways. He's my friend in many ways. And he's helped me a ways that he probably doesn't even know. He's not just influential to me. He's influential to the whole whole whole whole hip hop collective.

He is a frontman from one of the most legendary groups in hip hop ever, Black Moon. He is from New York City, Brooklyn to be specific, Bushwick, Crown Heights, all of that. Shout out to the bootcamp, click, shout out to duck down. They brought us health to Skeleton. They brought us O.G.C. They brought us Smith and Wesson. He gave us his verses on the Crickling Dodgers landmark albums like Into the Stage, Warzone, Totally Clips, Rise of the Moon. He has solo work as well. He did an incredible album with my mentor.

Survival skills. Shout out to P money. He did a backpack travels. We're going to talk about backpacks as well. He is work with Tupac. Tupac gave him the name, the BDI Thug. And even though he's in the bootcamp, click. We are going to talk about sneakers. We're going to talk about unified purpose, global, whose mission is to unite people and deliver motivation, learning and technology and opportunities to the front door step of every person family and community. Ladies and gentlemen, give it up for my man, Kenyatta. The BDI

MC, the general of the bootcamp, click. It's buckshot in the place to be. Yes. Peace. I don't know. You remember way more than I was. Who's he talking about? If I was ever in interview by like the other guys, I'd be like, I really don't know what you're talking about, sir. Right. Well, that's good. I take this job as a journalist.

As seriously as I take my job as a MC. And I got a shout, speaking of that, I got a shout out this podcast. And I'm trying to I'm racking my brain and remembering the name of it is a podcast that you were on. I think it's called hip hop 101.

And I don't remember the name of the host, but he this was the best interview I heard in a while because for this show, I listened to a lot of interviews who do these deep dives. I still feel like I'm better than all of them. You know what I'm saying, but I watch all these interviews. And not everybody does a good job. Not everybody cares about the music at two of the people caught up in the clickbait of the now.

But what artists like yourself and the people on the show, there's so much catalog and there's so much history is like, yo, I really try to take the time to to get my memories together to listen to every record. And particularly with a MC of your caliber, you're going to tell your story through your music.

So there's one thing if you have talk of points where this is a new album and this and that, but to really get to know you as a MC, I got to listen to the songs. You know what I'm saying?

That's incredible to say because it's just never enough. It's never enough to say all to do, right? Sometimes you do these interviews and you look back on the interviews and you like, damn, why did I say this? Why did I say that? You know, why did I get into this? Why did I get into that?

I don't regret any, but I always sometimes I look back and I'd be like, damn, why didn't we get into this issue? I've never been the type of guy to hand somebody a bunch of questions to say, here's what you asked me, even though that goes down in the industry.

Oh, it does believe me, right? But I've been that type of person to say, all right, let the guy, you know, you do what you do, right? And now answer. And I would always hope that the people come with something different, but a lot of times people come with the same. How was it with how many MCs when you made how many MCs?

What was it like to remix? I got you open. I mean, you get those questions so many times. So it's like, who's going to dig and give me some stuff that, you know, it's not.

It's not. It reminds me of a Blues Brothers movie when they showed up at Bob's Country Bunker and and Elwood gives Jake to piece of paper. He says, what's this? He says, it's from the owner. He says, oh, this, this just requests.

It means nothing. I love it. So first question, how did you make how many MCs?

I'm playing. That's not the first question.

I'll be in that BJ.

The first question is, well, I'm going to start with a statement. Let's take a sec to think back the year of the 7-0. Brooklyn was the place to go.

Kirkland Dodgers, BK hip hop festival. My man's set was on stage. That's first of all, that's my man's set, but you know him because he's from Crown Heights.

And also he'd be he'd be the duck down man sometimes. That's right. Wearing the duck down man. That's right. One of my greatest hip hop memories is that the Brooklyn hip hop festival performing.
