Yo, what's up? You got AWOL Artist here, a part of the Respecting Perspectives Podcast. And lately, you know, I've just been thinking about songwriting and how songwriting has changed my life and and created something that I could have never ever dreamed of. And it's got me thinking, you know, it's got me praying a little bit. It's got me thinking about, you know, I need some energy in my life that, you know, that that's unpredictable, but at the same time trustworthy. You know what I mean? Like, you know, I need I need a jack of all trades, you know, a master of some. Um, you know, I need somebody, I need an energy in my life that the presence is just overwhelmingly uh beautiful. Okay, all right. Please, Lord, give me that. All right.

Um, yo, just tell him like what you do and like you know, try and give um, you know, some words of wisdom some to some like younger kids out there who are like, you know, trying to, you know, just find other purpose in life.

SPEAKER_01 2:51

I do that a lot. I like to hit that nail on the head, you know. I can tell you my story, yeah, that works for me. I've been fortunate enough to been where I've been and went through what I went through and you know, whatever that was. Yeah. And just consistency, bro. It's really what it is, you know. That's what I think. For sure. And like knowing what to swerve and what to latch on to. Right. You know.

Baltimore Roots In Graffiti Culture

SPEAKER_01 3:18

But in reality, I grew up in the county of East Baltimore. Okay. My grandmother lived in Highland Town, Canton. Shouts out. And I would go down there and I would see this graffiti, and I'm like, damn, it's pretty sick. And you know, it was like early 90s, right? Yeah. Kind of like when I was still like doing the sports things and like that whole like new metal era, really, cause like I always like was fantasized by like the art of like a metallica cover or something. You know what I mean? Shit like that. Iconic shit like that. I'm like, all right, that's dope. And I did some drawings and some sketches and stuff, like, but then probably when I was like, you know, really like skateboarding culture came to was first because I was even younger skateboarding. And um coming into the city, I would see this graffiti that was I was already kind of living that life and going down to charm and you know, tagging, and I'm like, you know, I want to do that. My dad's a painter, so I just fucking yanked his paint and grabbed the homies and went down to the local bridge where there was some bullshit, and we just added more bullshit till it looked cool. And then I'm like, you know, just constantly living that life and skating, and shit got more popular, and then you know, like a like a limp biscuit, significant other cover would come out with dude or a head P with products, graffiti all tagged all over it, and you know, then I would therefore run into like the mechas and the Damians and the KSW cats of the my east side, you know, the graffiti people, and that all snowballed into different relationships and shit.

unknown 5:06

Nice.

SPEAKER_01 5:08

Running the streets, running amok. I mean, but like I like making money with it now, so it's cool.

SPEAKER_02 5:13

Yeah, dude, you make you're making it look um you're making it look good, you know, and just the the process of kind of moving from one thing to the next and like you said, consistency and just being able to like balance, you know, certain things, you know, in life. I mean, yo, it it gets it gets crazy, you know. Um is there any was there any like piece from back in the day that like you remember seeing that like um that just like kind of changed the way that you like saw it?

SPEAKER_01 5:39

Yeah what you're saying.

SPEAKER_02 5:40

Yeah, you know.

SPEAKER_01 5:41

I mean we walk the train tracks a lot. There was a bunch of burners, throw-ups. I remember this size she piece by my house. It's big bold shit. Like, how can you not read that? In terms of graffiti, right? And that sense of bombing at the time. But um there was a whole bunch of like burners on the CSX line that were cool. You know, if the OGs know what they are.

SPEAKER_02 6:02

Nice, dope, dope.

SPEAKER_01 6:04

I took hella inspiration from a lot of a lot of older cats in in Baltimore. Yeah, dope. Then I started traveling.

Leaving The Bubble Through Travel

SPEAKER_01 6:10

I went to LA when I was 18, and uh it just fucking blew up for me. I was like, all right, I gotta rock this, you know.

SPEAKER_02 6:16

Yeah, for sure, for sure. How do you end up um over on the West Coast?

SPEAKER_01 6:21

Like when how does that uh originally a friend of mine she said, Will you go to prom with me? I was like, Hell yeah, because she was like, that was my girl at the time, and I was like, Finally, I'm out of Maryland, like jumped on a plane in 02, I think, May 02.

SPEAKER_02 6:37

Damn, son, you've been around for a minute.

SPEAKER_01 6:38

And then I just never really came back mentally. Nah, dude, I just you know, traveling's important, I think. Like once you I mean, how many cats do you know that are live in the Baltimore bubble? And you're just like, yo, come on, get the fuck out of it, bro. Dude, it's crazy, isn't it? You have to live that, you have to experience getting out, and not even like going to Ocean City or something, but like, you know, Mecca and I and other friends, and like we just I'm driving to Cali at the drop of a hat these days, like because we're hauling so much shit, it's like, you know, and but I want to make it fun too. So like we'll go to Roswell, New Mexico, and you know, we'll go in the desert and paint like some trains and just do like some abandoned like hikes and you got some pretty iconic shit in Roswell, right? Oh, yeah. So Kelsey and I were just driving from Nashville to Phoenix and I stopped in Roswell. She had never been, and I'm gonna say, hey, um, there's that fucking gap on that wall right there. I had like, I don't know, 500 cans of paint with me for this job I was doing. I was like, uh, they're not gonna miss a couple of them. So right? It was like a tire shop, and I'm like, bro, can we paint a cool alien mural? And I just drew up like this Simpson style fucking alien mural at Roswell, and like there's some hidden messages in there. Shout out head P, but oh shit, you know, um it's fun, and you know, it's right across from like a UFO museum, and like you know, yeah, but I bless them with that, but like in hopes of like you know, I already got two calls for some stuff out there, and like just painting like in the middle and nowhere, like I already did the concrete jungle shit. That's fun too, but like I want to paint everywhere. I'm like I want to paint the fucking biggest shit everywhere.

SPEAKER_02 8:25

Like, that's what I want to do because tell them about the biggest shit that you've been doing, you know, you've been

Roswell Murals And Painting Everywhere

SPEAKER_02 8:30

working on it. All right. Well, have you talked about this?

SPEAKER_01 8:32

I mean, is it something you uh no, not on a podcast? Oh shit.

SPEAKER_02 8:36

Well, let it let it rock, let it ring, whatever you yeah.

SPEAKER_01 8:39

So the what's it's April 26th right now. So May 25, Leila Parnian in Scottsdale. She had been working on the this huge mural at Saya, and it turns out to be the tallest mural in the US. Tallest mural in uh 230 feet. It's like parking garage till seventh floor, and then we started at the seventh floor to 20 something, I can't remember, but it's you google it, dude. It's fucking funny. Yeah, I did, dude.

SPEAKER_02 9:09

I've seen it. I hope that uh everybody can can yeah, can check it out.

SPEAKER_01 9:12

Like it's yeah, Layla Parnian. Out of this world, her things right there. Yeah, we'll put the yeah, um, that's my girl, dude. She's ready. Layla Parnian. Layla Parnian. All right, don't you? She's doing it big, fucking she's got her shit going on. But it was Layla, myself, and Sean Fortin and Chris Laubeck. He fates, he did the video. There's like a 12-episode. Is there 12 episodes? Yeah, we did like a whole movie about it. Yeah, killing it. Which I want to do. Bro, you can go out and paint these days, but like, why not film it? Why not share it with someone back to your original thing when you just hit me about inspiration? Like, we live in this fucking world where these things are

The Tallest Mural And Filming It

SPEAKER_01 9:50

like something, you know? Because back in the day it was like, oh, who's up in the streets painting in graffiti? And like, you know, you had to like read the streets a different way, you know. I mean, like, if you should interview Mecca one day, he's really smart on like fucking graffiti. I'd love to, dude. I'd love to. Yeah, I'd love to, 100%. I think he's back there somewhere smart.

SPEAKER_02 10:07

Yeah, you were talking about, and now that I think about it, um, I have seen that name. I've seen that seen. Oh, yeah, he's been up for years. Baltimore OG. Yeah, yeah. You know, one of the names that always came up was Crisp. That was one of the ones that I first saw.

SPEAKER_01 10:19

No, that was his boy. I don't know him personally. Just curious. It just kind of one of the ones that came up. Yeah, I mean, he he no, he was up for sure, but uh, I think some of his paintings made it into a couple like clips of the wire. Oh, nice, dope, love that. I think like one of the ones is like he had a piece by Fed Hill and like, I don't know, McNulty or some shit's cruising up the hill, and you see this crisp. Damn, dude. But yeah, and Mecca was that's dope, man.

SPEAKER_02 10:44

We'll we'll we'll we'll figure that out. Um, yeah, I'd love to have more, you know, just uh of of all different types of uh cats just to kind of like you know what I mean.

SPEAKER_01 10:52

Just what what we met a lot the other day at fucking that was cool.

SPEAKER_02 10:56

Yeah, no, dude, he this motherfucker pulls up with like the truck and like he's got a couch, dude. He painted the couch like while he was on the and like pulling up on the the couch like on the corner was a vibe, and I was like, all right, I see you. And um, I think the message that I want to give you is just be more careful. I mean, that's that's all I want to say. Um take a selfie with that thing. Yo, how do you let me just name on that shit? How do you um like what inspires you to like come up with like ignorance?

SPEAKER_01 11:31

Oh like come on, dude. You gotta be bold, but like I'm not out there, dude. I be more careful is an old school Baltimore saying, right? Dom eat. So I mix that with that's a new one, but I mix that with uh you know this new Baltimore jersey that came out. The Orioles are popping. Yup, yeah. So let me go back. My boy has this truck, and he goes, Would will you paint it? And I'm like, Real, I'm really busy, bro. I'm like fucking slammed right now. And this was back uh a year and some change ago. So we did this like Taylor Swift Trump thing, and it went viral, and like you know, we're stirring the pot and all turn, like who can we fuck with through art? And it's like really just like not ignorant, yeah, you know what I mean? But like some people take it as that. So it had its time. We had we had it buffed white, yeah. I mean, to each their own, like yeah, if I like it, if you don't, then fuck you. Yeah, yeah. I did it, you know. My name's tied to it, so I could like get some fucking, you know, yeah. Not every day are you just pulling a U-Haul up in front of a bar in Canton and then just completely blasting it out full mural with your homies drinking on the street. Like, that's what I think is fun, and that's fucking more about the time that you have, like, creating it, you know what I mean? Yeah, yeah, no. I love the creation of it. It's like I'm free. I don't have to like phone or like you know, like the natural movement of it. Like, I'm yeah, that's what I get out of it. But like, I don't know, you might see it and like something. So now it has changed to an Orioles theme. That said, I was painting it at my birthday the other day in front of Wanna Smash. What's up, Melvin? You what's up, dog? What's up, doing fucking 3500 O'Donnell Street. So back in September, I painted the whole wanna smash corner. Me, Big Nick, Mecca, Sean, Jimbo, what's up, dog? Um you painted the actual Yeah, the outside of the building, all the burgers and stuff. Yeah, and like Natalie. Check it out. Wanna smash, that was a dope spot down in uh Baltimore. So I didn't even know where I was gonna be on my birthday the other day. I met this car had broken up. Little pop up. Yeah, so I had some vehicle issues in San Diego, so I just left that shit at my sisters, and then I flew home. And uh I was like, my boy goes, Hey, the truck's white, and I'm like, perfect time. You know, perfect Orioles theme right now. Let's go. Like everybody's pumped on the Orioles. I mean, they lost today 17 to 1. But they won last night, so I know they'd be they be acting funny, you know. Our our city has hella love for them boys, and sure. I think if a rolling billboard of like graffiti is just so comical to me because you can paint funny shit, and like especially like if you're passing it by on a you know, like this one's rolling around be more. Yeah, you know, saying be more careful with an implication of their new logo, and but it's like a really Easter egg that you gotta find.

SPEAKER_02 14:29

That's how you get the colorway. It's yeah, you know what I'm saying?

SPEAKER_01 14:31

I did the color scheme, I did the font, and then I changed it up a little bit to an OG street saying, like, yo, you know, I just fucking put it on the colour.

SPEAKER_02 14:40

And you'd be putting Easter eggs like that all over.

SPEAKER_01 14:42

Yeah, you gotta if you know me, you'll know where to find them. I mean, there might be some posters around here somewhere you'll find in weird places in the city. Like open your fucking eyes, yo.

SPEAKER_02 14:50

Yeah, I love I love rolling up and seeing like a sticker of yours. Yeah, you starting like it just you know what I mean.

SPEAKER_01 14:55

It's I should fucking start an app. Like, I just put one here, go find it.

SPEAKER_02 14:59

Dude, there you go, like little little dots on the map or some shit.

SPEAKER_01 15:02

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 15:03

Damn, dude, that's dope.

SPEAKER_01 15:04

That's dope but um, and then the other side of the truck is gonna be the Oriol bird dress up like Omar from the wire with the bat. No. You had this already planned out? Yeah, you didn't see the other side? I didn't see it yet. Oh. Oh, we'll put it in the side. No, it's just clout in the Orioles font, and then there's gonna be some other graffiti and stuff. But I think for now, like get these boys pumped up. It's early in the season, let's go. We got a long summer, and hopefully we're hitting October. I know my sister would be happy if we make it into some stuff. I know the whole city would be happy, so for sure. If my art can help fucking pump up the city, oh, let's go, you know. Love that, dude.

SPEAKER_02 15:39

That's such a good message, dog. That's a great message to have, you know, and the fact that you can. I was talking to a friend of mine about this, like the different not difference, but like think about like music and like art as in like um, you know, drawing. As an artist, like you can draw something and sell it for, you know, a thousand, two thousand, three thousand, a hundred thousand dollars, you know, and like art is is perspective, you know, and like one person, they're ten dollars, you know, another person thinks that it's worth, you know, ten million dollars, whatever. I feel like with music, it's a little bit more challenging to like where like you can actually paint something, like hand it to somebody, and like they can transact the transaction of like some dough, like some good money, you know, and like for you to be able to put it up on somebody's wall, I wish that music could translate that. Do you can you find any translation with like music for something like that?

SPEAKER_01 16:35

I know that my boy Azadi that owns Graffiti Mansion, he would have the perfect fucking explanation for this. Yeah, we can call him on the show. Shouts out to Azadi dog killing it. We'll talk about that in a sec. For sure, for sure. You know, um the translation between I I started art really because and stayed on that path. The only thing I can say is that I wasn't a musician, and like some of my friends were touring, and like, you know, I love the music, I love the scene, I loved what it was about, I loved like you know, the grit. So I try to turn that into the art that I create. Like now I'm doing art for bands and different things, and you know, you might rock uh rappers are becoming country dudes now, you know what I'm saying? So like I being art, you can be versatile. I mean, I probably dropped a ball in your question, but no, that was a real deep question.

SPEAKER_02 17:30

That's a very hard question to answer, actually. Sorry, I kind of thought I can't even answer it myself. Um, that's why I'm like asking you, and I think it's maybe a point to where like hopefully you can find some um gratefulness in like the fact that you can do that. Like you can take these paintings and like sell them to someone for a certain amount of money. And and there have been artists who have been able to do that with like their catalogs and like band can't, you know, but like you know, streamy services like are like I I guess it's in the eye of the beholder, right?

SPEAKER_01 18:01

And then there's like if it's limited, and then there's just like you know some shit like that. Yeah, no, it's a good, it's a hard uh but they definitely merge, you know what I mean? Art and music. 100%. Like again, now we live in this world where like there's so much shit to be creative with. I just happen to like like the the fucking you know, the rawness of like graffiti and tagging and stuff like that.

SPEAKER_02 18:32

Tell tell us uh a little bit about because dude, I mean, I feel like the thing that you have really um taken a hold of and like been able to uh turn into um I don't know like maybe like part of your purpose, but like you finding that mansion and like really just like turning that into something just like dude explain explain like the the the the like how try and help uh people fathom like how you paint a whole mansion like three days and film it and then throw a party with 400 girls like two twenty hours later. How does it how do you you know how do you the mind of Romani and Zadi?

SPEAKER_01 19:14

But um no, I was put on it with it by a friend. She goes, Hey, my buddy's painting this mansion, and I had been in Cali and I called him and he's like, Yeah, we're starting this. I didn't really know what was happening at first because the words graffiti and mansion really didn't like you know sink in at that point in my life. I was in like uh Northern Cali and and doing some weed shit and then LA painting LA canines, but uh I was like, Well, I can come out to Vegas and check it out because I'm like, excuse me, it sounded dope. Yeah, I didn't know I couldn't visualize it. So I like I'm the type of cat that like needs to walk on site and see it. Yup. So good

Graffiti Mansion Origins And Going Viral

SPEAKER_01 19:50

point. Short story long, my family member died, and I was like, you know what? Hey, I'm gonna swerve this. No diss. It sounds rad, but you know, blah, blah, blah. Then they painted it, and I was kind of like had added them, and this is 20 this is 2016. Whenever the Vegas shooting was, it was it said his project, Villa Chang Rela art exhibit, turned into group VD Mansion nowadays, but it was like the Vegas strong mansion because of that Mandalay Bay thing. But um I swerved it, I didn't get to go. The video came out, it went stupid viral on UniLad on Facebook, like beyond billions of views. I don't even know how many it is now, but it's a lot of shit. Crazy, good for all them cats, but um they're like my family now, but uh yeah, it um what was the it was just super trippy because everyone in town's like, oh my god, this is you, this is you, this is you, and I'm like, actually, uh it's gonna be because the next time they do one, I'm going. I've been talking to that dude for a month, and I was just like, as soon as the video came, I'm like, that's super fire, I want to go. And then he's like, Well, we're doing a Christmas one, and I'm like, I'll be there tomorrow. So I just tipped and rolled out on everything, and like it's psycho part of my. Yeah, you do. That's another thing I would like to say. Like, yeah, back to like inspiring people, like life's got me down mad times, bro. But you gotta keep that parachute packed, like you gotta stay on point because these opportunities they really do come and like you have to be able to read between the shit and not let this like static in front of your life. I mean, that opportunity might change everything for you. I was doing good. I mean, I had a family member die, that sucked, but like, you know, he would have wanted that and it was cool, and it's I mean, it's changed so many people's lives. I've taken as many friends as I could. I mean, it's a pretty deep thing over there. I mean, it it it gets high and low. You know, they're busy or sometimes the owner likes to chill and does do his thing, but right now we were doing you see these canvases. Yeah, it's like uh so I was just there about the initial smash. I went to Vegas to do um the Look Mansion owned by Pornhub. Um it was a fucking cool time. It was a crypto thing they had going on, but and then while we're there, his boy goes, Yo, I have 10,000 of that size canvas, like some Joanne fabrics closed down in LA or something, and he's like, Well, you want to split them with me? They're 30 grand. So we paid 15 grand to get 5,000 canvases. A truck pulled up to the mansion or right right down the street, and Armani and Sancho and I went and go pick them up. Uh-huh. And I'm like, 30 seconds. And I'm not painting all these, bro. That's a lot. I'm gonna be here for like two years. Like, so we didn't know what we were gonna paint on them. We're gonna resell them. Like, Armani's the type of guy, like, if he runs into a deal you can't refuse, like he'll pay for that shit. But I'm like, he's like, let's put him in the driveway of the mansion. I'm like, bro, Vegas, it's gonna I understand, bro. It's like November now. It's about to be April, real quick, and you know, it gets hot as fucking April. Like, yeah, why would you risk 15k in canvases? So, anyway, we we came up with this idea of like, let's put our friends in a Polaroid picture and then you know, do a different man so everyone can own a mansion. It's like because we have a saying, like, this is a fucking mansion, bitch. You can't come here. Yeah, it's a good thing. Like, it's it's it's you know, like the fucking Andy Moorhall style, like it's it's like a Playboy mansion. We don't have a Playboy mansion these days, yeah. We don't have a place like that for artists and rock stars and people to come and do that type of thing. So that's the graffiti mansion. I feel like with this pop art polaroid project, I mean there's a whole walkthrough photo shoot and everything. I mean, Azadi can tell you much better. Um, I'd love to possibly have him on at some point, you know. Yeah, if you can get we might have to take the show to Vegas. Dude, I'm telling you. That'd be cool. Why don't we do it at the mansion so he don't even have to leave? Dude, you locked in. Locked in. Mitch has been there. Locked in.

SPEAKER_02 24:08

He came in there for like an hour. Dirt nasty? Yo, they don't know who dirt nasty is. Oh, Mitch Kyle? No, but the actual dirt nasty. Like they didn't know who Simon Rex was. Have you ever had Simon Rex there?

SPEAKER_01 24:20

No, no, but uh I think I'm talking about. Yeah, I know for sure. Yeah, okay. He played Ocean Beach, my sister's husband, like played for Mickey Avell on some tours and he DJ'd for him for a while. Yeah, dude. Crazy, dude. I thought we were talking about Mitch Kyle.

SPEAKER_02 24:36

Yeah, Mitch. I know, I know, but he reminds me of the five. That's how I met you. Is that how we met?

SPEAKER_01 24:41

And scangies.

SPEAKER_02 24:42

And scanji's. Oh, yo, Scott.

SPEAKER_01 24:44

Scanji's oh, he's fishing in a tournament right now in Nashville. Dude, he's catching a wide mouth trout. He's catching a two-legged tuna. No, he's on some fishing trip and or something. I think it's a tournament. They might win money.

SPEAKER_02 24:58

SPEAKER_01 24:59

SPEAKER_02 25:05

SPEAKER_01 25:05

Yeah, Cotton Mouth. Scanji's uh was like, I love Cali. My uncle lives in San Diego. He's gonna offer me a job. He's like, I'm gonna I'm gonna drive out there next month. And I was like, Alright, word. Well, I'll take you. And then as soon as I got there, Cotton Mouth's like, You want to go on this tour? And I'm like, Yeah, and then I rocked with Cotton Mouth for a while. But um Dope. Then I wanted to tour, and I just want to travel, bro. Like, I've done the I've been in every street in Baltimore. Like, I mean, I respect it, I love it. But you just gotta go places. I need new inspiration. I need the the mountains, the deserts, the beaches. I need, you know, I need to be able to cover. Yeah, dude, you can really pack a punch, like you know, the tallest mural in the US, tallest mural in Arizona. Like, I wanna I don't know what other people take from that art. I know that I get paid for it or I get like freedom in my mind to like let loose and create something, and yeah, I mean, I don't have to talk to no one and yeah, I can tell somebody to fuck off. I can get in the zone and I can just like I don't really feel like there's nothing else I'd rather do around. Like, there's a couple things like but I ain't going to fucking punch in somewhere, dog. No, you're tripping. Tripping. Hey, if you want me to punch in somewhere, how about you punch me in the tallest mural in Maryland?

SPEAKER_02 26:29

Punch out, dummy, tallest mural.

SPEAKER_01 26:32

Let's get that. If you have a building in Maryland, I want to paint that shit.

SPEAKER_02 26:36

Yes, dude. Great, great point. Biggest Maryland flag.

SPEAKER_01 26:39

Like, I'm trying to break records with this shit.

SPEAKER_02 26:41

Yes, dude. Anybody.

SPEAKER_01 26:43

I ain't trying to paint the fucking alley.

SPEAKER_02 26:44

Well, I'll do that too, but there you go. There you go. I think how's that work? What they just you just reached out to them, like you're like, yo, like, how's that work?

SPEAKER_01 26:52

Somehow they got a hold of Layla, and like, dude, this was she's she's got to be putting in work. She showed me emails from like four years ago. Like, this wasn't an overnight thing, like you know, construction, and then they she got hired to do something else in the building, and they were like, Well, what's your dream? And she's like, I want to hang off the side of a high rise. And they're like, We can make that happen. And then, like, yeah, I mean, and then she kept saying, Hey, I think I got us this big old mural, and I'm like, All right, well, hit me up. You know, I'm ripping and running, I'm doing my thing. Shit comes across my phone all the time, and I'm like, All right, and like if I don't go and tend to that, it might, you know, and you gotta be consistent, dude. You just you can't fucking and you gotta learn when to say no. Yeah, sometimes you know, not all money is good money. I mean, sometimes is like I mean, there's value in throwing some shit out there for free. There's value in getting paid. There's I would just check out every opportunity, but yeah, she put us up there and we killed it. And I I really want to Is it finished? Yeah, yeah, it's done. Is it wrapped it in May? So people can go see it right now? Yeah, it's uh Saya Complex at uh right off Roosevelt in downtown Phoenix. I mean you can see that shit from Scottsdale. We'll put a picture of on the on the and hey, throw the link up for the videos. There's a whole 12 episode. Oh yeah, you said you had a 12 episode. It's fire, bro.

SPEAKER_02 28:14

It's like if people want to find that, what would they so what would they look for?

SPEAKER_01 28:18

Tallest mural in Arizona. Perfect. Yeah, but fates the producer, LeilaParney, and D Lord Inc. It's like you know, the cover photo of a YouTube cheers, cheers to man. So I want to do the tallest in Maryland. So between our network, you know, and whoever's watching this in the Baltimore and Maryland community, like, where's the tallest mural in Maryland? Is it Baltimore, Bethesda? Well, there's high rises, ocean city. Like, I don't care what it is. Put me on a building, and if you have a building, we will get worldwide coverage and we will break records and it'll be fire. And it helps out your company too, man. I just want to be on this, have a drone whipping around me. Yeah. I don't care. In the process. I think. All right, I don't know. So you know those like silos going by Natibo Tower, like if you're going over by Greek town and shit. Yeah. I don't know if they're abandoned or not, but that would be a dope location for like a drippy Maryland flag. Yes, dude. Oh my gosh, dude, I could see it right now 100%.

SPEAKER_02 29:15

I could see it.

SPEAKER_01 29:16

I already drove by it and photoshopped it and threw it to like Al Yvan Paris and people I know that are doing it big.

SPEAKER_02 29:21

And then what do you reach out to like the the the the uh the the landowner and you're like yeah, I mean it it depends.

SPEAKER_01 29:28

It's like that is kind of a shifty looking property, so it's like can we do it? Can are they selling? I I I've been kind of when I've been in town recently, I'm kind of poking around, but for sure.

SPEAKER_02 29:38

I do go do some door knocking, but yeah, hopefully we'll have some people who might have some leads to be able to help you um you know with uh with some of that stuff. You know what I mean?

SPEAKER_01 29:47

Yeah, that would be great. I mean, there's news coverage,

Bar Murals Fast Client Work

SPEAKER_01 29:50

there's all kinds of shit.

SPEAKER_02 29:51

Tell me a little bit, um, I'm super curious about you painting um Jelly Rolls Bar and uh we said Snoop's bar.

SPEAKER_01 30:00

Yeah, yeah. So all right before we wrapped that mural, there was like Layla went to like uh fucking somewhere, San Diego to DJ, and I had like four days to chill, and Metallica and Biscuit were playing Nashville, and I just fucking ripped a flight to Nash, went to the Metallica show, and then my Nashville people, Electra and Bird, were like, yo, um, you know, let's paint help me paint this club. So I kind of went and helped Aaron Birdsall. He just got off tour with Attillis, my boy. Dope. Shout out Chick artist. I gotta hook you up. He's you guys kind of I feel like would vibe on the music to appreciate that. Um I helped him paint this club in in East Nashville or Germantown or something. And then the manager of Jelly Rolls Bar is like, no shit, you guys are painting, like get over here now. And I was like, bro, my flight leaves in like tomorrow. I was like, it would have to happen tonight. So we just went there and I was like, it's this much, and yeah, we just fucking went in. One night as soon as, yeah, as soon as they close, we set up and we just crack beers till 3 p.m. the next day. So it took about 12 hours and some 30 minutes. How much space do you it's right when you walk in? Like if you're familiar with Broadway right there, neck Kid Rocks and Jelly Rosbar, like you just roll in. It's just this logo, but it's pretty fire. I mean, like millions of people see that. I mean, they don't really know I did it. It's not like my creation. We did a hand-painted version of their logo, but like it's about putting real estate in places. Like, yeah, I'm not like I'm just gonna go tag my name. Like, no, I'm gonna go paint what you want because that's gonna lead to other opportunities and this and that. And like, you know, if I don't want to paint it, like I'll say I'm busy or something, no discs. Like somebody else, I can put somebody else on with it, but like I want to do the dope shit. I want to be in real time on a Monday morning, fucking going to some dope spot doing what I want for a living.

SPEAKER_02 31:57

Yeah, all that, dude. I can't listen, I couldn't agree with you more, dude. You know what I'm saying? Seriously, like as an artist, I'm trying to I'm navigating that. You know what I mean? Like, I'm I'm working on on a few things right now that um can help me, you know, try and achieve that level of freedom that you have right now with your art. I appreciate that, man. I appreciate that.

SPEAKER_01 32:20

You fucking you hit a hit a lot of things. Thank you, dude. I appreciate that, bro. It's it's hard.

SPEAKER_02 32:26

You know, sometimes you lose sight of it every now and then, but I I'm not losing sight of it, but at the same time, sometimes I I look past it a little bit too much, you know what I mean? So I gotta bring myself back into the now and like really realize. Um there was a question I wanted to ask you. Um, when it comes to like uh doing like an amount of space, like uh like how much space does it take? Like, how much can you do in one night? In like one night, like how much I'm gonna do it.

SPEAKER_01 32:57

Yeah, you know, like five hairs. Like Snoop Star Snoop's bar, right? Probably could have got done, but it was a little alleyway, and that happened, that fell in my lap. I was with Kelsey in Nashville, and she was working at Kid Rocks, and I was like, hey, I'm gonna go to the show, and with my boy Caleb that made this hat, we should shout him out in a minute. But um what's his brand name? Does he have like a brand name? Yeah, I'll talk about it in a sec. So he goes, Hey, my boy works at Snoop's, right? So I roll up in there, he called me the next morning. We were at a show, and you how many times? Oh, yeah, I need a mural. Everybody fucking wants art, right? Like everybody should probably like art if you're a human, but he called me back the next morning and I'm like, fire. So showed up and I was painting that next night, and uh, it should have taken a little less, but like the area, it depends on how much room do we have. For sure. If it's a bar, like I can't be fucking spraying like with you know people. Yeah, you know, it's it all depends. But when I do finally get the green light, I like to attack at it because I don't want to be like Do you plan it in like a program? Uh like do you draw it out first or do you just draw it out in your head? Uh it starts in the head. I gotta look at the space and go there and like, you know, check it out and hear what they want, you know. What I want is not always what they want, you know. But you know, I'm kind they're like, you know, when they're like, oh, it's up to you. Well, it's not up to me. It's up to me to basically convince you what's good or work with you. I just I'm not gonna be micromanaged either, you know what I'm saying? I'll put somebody else on that. Like for sure.

SPEAKER_02 34:33

For sure. You're able to put those tasks. You know what I was thinking about you know, you painting other people's, you know, shit that they really want to see come to life. That really, man, I think what that does is that takes like your ego out of it. You know what I mean?

SPEAKER_01 34:47

And you're like, I mean, you know, dude, I even though you got you, you know, we all we all got. You gotta help and help some people out for sure. I wanna I wanna hear ideas. Like, I'm not you know, I be getting dried up on ideas sometimes. It happens, right? It happens, dude. Like I said, it can lead you to opportunities. It's just like you never know, bro. You know what I mean? You can help someone get their ideas flowing, and then that's what happens, and it's just like a big snowball of like positivity, you know. Love it, dude. Love it, dude. If it turns into travel for me, I mean I'm trying to I got Layla, she just got back from Dubai, fucking trying to find like a big high rise to paint out there. Like I excuse me, I want to paint the biggest shit. That's basically all I want to do. Yeah, love it. But I'll do this stuff, wait, because it's not every day you can do that. That's that's still going to be your signature thing, though.

SPEAKER_02 35:40

Yeah, I mean, I just you know I dig that the tallest, really. Yo, let's get this man like in five years, he's gotta have at least we need like two.

SPEAKER_01 35:50

I think because like each mural like that probably takes like three to four months, you know, with proper with paint to wall. Yeah, paint so like got you. There's weather to worry about. You hear that rain? Um, there's wind, you know, it's just like dust storms and shit. We couldn't really get up there if the wind was more than 13 miles an hour. What if you're painting and it starts raining? What do you do? We do. We have clips of that, and we had lightning. You ever seen lightning in Phoenix Dog? That's right. You can see everything. If you're at the top of a high rise, like you can see every you can see past Scottsdale into like Superstition Mountains and past Glendale, like towards Cali and shit. Like Yeah, it's crazy. It's you that's fun, nuts, dude. Damn, okay. Get out of the studio, go
