What is up, dude?

What's up?

Look at you at 813. Have you even gone to sleep yet? Yeah, I went to sleep. Yeah? I went to sleep early so I could get here. You didn't need to take the Adderall and stay up? I would have needed to take that. Like, what is your typical night like? I'm assuming that you are burning the midnight oil most nights.

Oh, yeah.

To at least

i mean i went to like four last night anyway so four and that's going to bed early yeah that's early

all right is that working or is that playing that's working and what were you working on um jagged edge i

think yeah we're working on their new album you got so many lined up like you're like I can't remember who it is they wasn't there so that's why I couldn't remember but yeah are you natural night owl is that why you're working at night or does it just seem quieter like the phone's not ringing the blackberry's not going on I used to be worse I used to be worse than I used to go like two days in a row like all night it should be like I used to go like two days in a row, like all night. It used to be like my thing to go like two days in a row. Just getting a groove, you just don't want to stop? No, I used to just be my thing. I don't know. Just go, I'm getting a little older, so I can't do it like that. Now, if four is going to bed early, then now, what would have been the, you know, average time that you go to bed?

When last night, if I wasn't coming here?

Right.

Probably like 6 o'clock. Okay. Is that right? Yeah. All right. Tremaine Dupree on all the hits Q100 in the brochure. How does the whole thing work? Like, if somebody wants to work with Germain Dupre,

what are the channels you have to go through?

Go to the bank.

That's the first thing.

That's the first thing. Dupree? What are the channels you have to go through? Go to the bank.

That's the first thing.

I don't know. I mean, you know, it depends on what type of artist.

And, you know, if I want to work with you, that's pretty much it.

It's not really.
