No, John Burke coolest podcast on the world and today we got the one and only legend there young LA in the building

I ain't feeling man, man

It's just a blessing, you know blessing to be here. I feel great man energy way look there, bro

Yeah, it's good to hear you come out to LA very often or is this like a very once on a wild trip for you

Man for me

Throughout my career, I've been at LA frequently, you know, I'm just on doing shows and doing working stuff like that

But um, you know to be here. I'm here now on my own accord

You know, I'm saying when I say on the accord is I'm on the independent grind, you know, I'm saying so got a major

I say major labor artists or platinum recorder artists, but I'm moving like a indie artist, you know

I'm saying so it's different for me this time because I really get the experience

You know, I'm saying it's C Kelly, you know, I'm saying you know, just take it in for it for real

Yeah, you know, you independent you can you know move a little different, you know, I'm saying yeah

Well, that's interesting like we just kind of dive right in but do you feel like when you were you know

Moving around as part of a label or more like having to be concerned about what the label wanted from you and everything was that

When you look back on that does that occur to you that that wasn't you and that you were always kind of having to try to fit in in a way

And it just wasn't really you

Um, yeah, cuz I feel like um when you independent or like not only that when you're dealing with a

Label you have management you have different people who feeling roles for you

So these people feeling roles and this can be projected as your personality or who you are

Or your manager can have a bad day and do something and it can rub a relationship the wrong way

But you don't really know but you're gonna say young L.A. Because I'm the brand and because you know

That's why protecting the brand is so big
