ASAP Preach AKA Ian Barnett was always a fan of hip-hop. When he got saved in 2002, he felt it was only right to glorify God with his gift and love for that genre. He felt led to share what God had done for him through his rap. Following God’s will for his life, has opened many doors for this talented artist. ASAP reminds himself daily, to stay in his lane and let God have control of the moves he makes. He doesn’t allow the idea of fame and fortune to distract him from the ultimate goal of reaching the lost.ASAP is dedicated to making his sets be all about the kingdom. He makes it a point to have altar calls after each performance. ASAP has stated that even when he gets out of line with his walk, God is always using him to reach others. He has witnessed people falling to their knees in worship and welcoming the Lord into their hearts, even when he himself is not moved by his performance. When he is not doing music, he is serving his church home in Ft. Worth on the media team, as well as doing street evangelism. He serves the homeless community by giving food and a healthy dose of the word.

our first man is at the home you know
I'm saying like everybody wants to be on
stages and everybody wants to have a
microphone but if you're neglecting you
know saying them at the crib then it's
really in vain man in the scripture says
you're worse than an infidel I'm saying
you're worse than an unbeliever and
that's where it comes a we see too many
people in families get left behind when
it comes to ministry or comes to doing
something for God you know but I thought

could be able to take care of his family
Lord in every single need that he has
worth that Jesus name I pray amen
and then receivable it's for you yes
so was Hoppe Allah willing
I've been doing all right just bit along
didn't build good long we give the most
part I'm I actually was able to help
bless a family that I'm close to
recently um every three months are cuz I
work for Walmart currently every three
months we get a bonus and lately to get
me decent sized bonuses three hundred
four hundred dollars and so I was saying
we were hanging out with me my fiancee
were hanging out with the family one day
I just haven't seen him a while finger
would hang out he catch up and at the
same time we date and they're always
struggling they're on all sorts of
welfare just because they have like by
poll they're like bipolar eighty daht
anything you can pretty much think of
they have it we call it the Plumlee
syndrome because it's like so much
that's like just shorten the list and so
what we did was we couldn't think of
anything is usually we try to think mean
I guess we'll think of something bake
the buy for itself but it's like we
don't there's something we really need
it's like so why we just bless this
family help them with their groceries
because they're always struggling with
food and so so we've listed with an
extra hundred bucks taken grocery
shopping with and so that just felt nice
to do just like they've done so much for
us and so it was all way of giving back
to them yeah that's always awesome when
you could do that man the Lord tries to
test you make sure he could trust you
with that man you know I'm saying I had
that happen to me years ago you know
with that you know saying it's always
$100 he always does it where you know
what would you do with that hundred and
he asked you to give it away and give it
to somebody you know he wants to see if
he could trust you there but he always
gives it back man pressed down shaken
together and running over man he always
gives it back man so he owns the cattle
on a Thousand Hills one hundred dollars
is nothing to the most other guy so man
any chance you get just just look to
bless people man and he'll he'll always
give it back
it may not be instant it may not be like
a slot machine he put it in he gives it
right back sometimes it may take a few
months but when you need it
you'll never see the righteous for stake
and you'll never see the godly begging
for bread he'll always meet your needs
man so just as long as you can let that
money come to you and just go back out
into the community and to people who are
hurting people who are needed um he'll
he'll continue to bless you man
I'll see you as a good Stewart and a
good server man definitely
so how did you take out the norm yeah
I'm like three four songs away from
getting that done it's like the guy that
I was usually originally he got new
software so unfortunately up this price
on me bum like it's all good I'll still
be able to get the table done I'm hoping
to get released before the end of summer
like beginning of fall so hopefully
within the next month or so I'm open for
us are so is preach on your album - uh
yeah I got a set preach on the song on
everybody um I don't I don't know I'm on
it Monet's on it
you're also got a couple bikini music I
got so the Keaton these guys on a Bobby
Phoenix and triple three are on there as
well also great brothers I've talked to
them personal on personal level several
times and they are great brothers to
talk to I tell you what dude like people
want to knock it about getting a bunch
of features and stuff but when you're
like it's your first major release it's
good it's good to network and it's good
to get out there because the whole thing
about networking with other people and
even paying for features and stuff like
that you're essentially paying for
promotion so what you want to do this is
wisdom for everybody out there I've seen
it work firsthand even paying for
features I've got plenty of features
that I've paid for you know I'm saying
their studio time or to bless them or
whatever the case is but the whole deal
with that is when you do a song with
somebody their fans are itching for new
material their fans are wanting new
music so if you do a track with
illuminate now there is a competitive
side to it not to beat the best or
whatever the case is but you want to
promote and so you want to when you do a
feature and you paste my for feature you
want to try to come harder than them you
do you want to do that on every song but
essentially on a paid feature right
because if you do now all of their fans
are now hunter Hughes's fans and that
that totally happened with me with the
lco be movement and getting those guys
on my on my album nobody knew who I was
and within a year of my album dropping
my
fan base like quadrupled man selling
t-shirts moving CDs all over the planet
by doing that paying for features look
let me throw you $100 get on this vert
you know I'm saying first money money
talks man you know I'm saying artists
struggling out here like which I say
we're trying to do this art and it
doesn't pay a lot hip-hop artists don't
get paid a lot so any time that you can
help somebody out man I'm telling you
don't be afraid to do it but in the
midst of that I have worked with a
handful of shady people who you pay and
you never hear nothing from them again
have you had that problem hunter because
I know you deal with a lot of people who
aren't Christians as well I don't know
if you've had that problem at all hunter
have you there's only two big cases that
I've had issues with the first one I did
was on it was this guy like okay cuz I
start off I'll explain this first Fargo
and details about this when it comes to
music I listen to
I don't usually bounce for a lot of
artists especially I've asked for more
Christian hip-hop I do secular doubts I
start actually gearing towards parsnip
up because I used to because I used to
mainly secular but if the sector artist
is real if they're not faking it I get
props for that because I'm all because
I'm all about being 100% in what I do so
they're being 100% I'm cool with that
that's why I've used that's why because
you know I was in my facebook I'm a huge
Jelly Roll fan does he's 100% real and I
love to do for that
okay so first guy I had issue ISM with a
guy from Florida that I've interacted
through Facebook on multiple occasions
and I was watch the sales guy was pretty
much hustling pushing the music I
thought old vehicle got to work with
Tatum for the beta for feature didn't
hear anything from them after that
pretty much after he got the money for
the feature and then the sick think it
was about 100 bucks on that one and then
the the next guy I did was a guy that
was a mutual friend of mine for to
another guy I've done music with this
guy's from I believe st. Louis Missouri
and he again he was real at first his
musical easel it was real at first I
gave him props for that but as he
started making more music as he was on
hiatus for a while and then they start
going out again he started coming out
after a lot of these artists I was
originally falling because I used to be
a big follower for nice to follow Bravo
Gator and he was coming after these guys
when I saw them at the time and so I'm
just like what's the book because I'm
not one for beef are you I've never done
a diss track in my seven years I have
done music and so because I'm just like
I always into that person I wouldn't
know handle it myself
and I'm not going to acknowledge it but
bring it into my business
yeah well and so like with your name
that you just mentioned and I was just
thinking it maybe you read my mind
Bravo Gator got um a buddy of mine four
grand you got a buddy of mine for guy
happening in I haven't had a bobble
Gator has this gaming people lately
that's just I've been here I don't know
how I didn't know how much food of the
time is why I never said anything about
it at the time yeah I want I just say
that because like we had an instance
where Bravo Gator got a close friend of
mine four grand he was supposed to do a
little BP with them he never did it and
he tried to get him for more money he
tried to give him this long story about
how his his computer was in the shop and
he needed some more money to get it out
and if you send me the rest of them some
more money we'll get it out and we'll
start working on your your project you
know he took him for a dummy really so
he sent them that money and he never got
it back and then a close friend of mine
wanted to do a feature with Bravo Gator
and I was like no you dude if you if you
do if you do a feature with Bravo I'm
done with you like you can't be like
doing songs where people who are robbing
the homies you can't do that it doesn't
fly you know so I feel totally
comfortable with putting putting that
information out there because of other
people like you or me who want to work
with some of their favorite rappers but
some of them are out there
you know doing doing bad businessman you
know they've been getting a lot of
people I've had to happen several times
as well
me as somebody $300 and in yeah I got
you tomorrow then it's been six months
you know yeah well but what's here's the
craziest part about it was I paid the
money he still did the feature but why I
say I pretty much lost it was a loss
it's because icon started calling him
out on what he was doing not publicly
but I would Facebook message him like
dude you are not getting your fans with
all this drama and this beast thing that
you're doing with these other artists
that have been the game longer than you
have that have been releasing music more
than you have and he pretty much just
flip the script on me and just started
cursing me out and all this even
threatened to show up in my workplace
and in his words kicked my butt and he
gave me such every day was going to be
there and I just watched the watching
tired to have work and he never showed
up
okay whoever um hit he goes like Liese
Anna Jones is his name please yeah yeah
got a real rapper
yeah um found some guy named Asteria
Cleese en is junkie I don't think that's
a real rapper man I think he got too
high
I'm not kidding you guys this is what he
went by I'm not I would not make this up
yeah
so how did you think that I did did I
you see the resemblance with DJ Paul and
ASAP reach I almost saw my chair
laughing when I when you pulled up the
picture you never got that before though
huh never got what a goon now you never
heard [Â __Â ] break my dad you looking
at it you never got that out that our
comparison before though huh la first
time for everything man
buddy I knew all I needed the grill yeah
that totally be you in a pan for like a
month straight
yeah it
you look just like a man you can you can
go like the comic-con and stuff dressed
up like them I know like go to like
Santa gathering of the Juggalos or
something dressed up like it so yeah
Hunter Miller I could do a music video
and then like to say that I'm him
feature on the title yeah it'd be a cool
pairing me I thought about doing a song
just because I've like mastered a bunch
of different styles with my voice over
the years that I can sound like
different rappers and I do I do voices
and stuff for like comedy pranking my
friends and stuff and I thought about
doing a song where just like changing
the voice on each each rapper and each
style to me and they did that with all
the Houston rappers over here today Wow
yeah nevermind me of them that just
reminds me of a Hopson on his lifetime
he did a parody song focus on all the
mumble rappers yeah and it was really
funny that was funny with my I think
with hashbrown for the video that was
funny
yeah get out that was funny man Hobson's
a really creative dude I don't think
that uh he should have left funk volume
but you know I guess he was a creative
genius or whatever and didn't having
beef or whatever cuz they had something
awesome Gollum and you know mm-hm yeah
something awesome going it was like like
selling out tours I don't know if Hopson
still selling out but I know he's still
doing packed tours but for volumes it
was it was a like a movement I guess
there's more just a label or something
there's like a movement of people I
couldn't catch some of the other artists
as much as I did him and Wiz a little
bit yes well it was awesome or Lancome
like their own personality or whatever I
got a song with Joker man I don't know
if you've seen that nominally it was
raising names y'all be cool featuring
whistle crazy name Joker you don't know
who Joe got it I gotta solve with that
man bro
me Batman Joker we said his name was
crocodile Dundee's yeah
giggling joke meow Bob boom oh man yeah
alle Bunga john cowabunga turtles
alright so I do got a question for y'all
alright brother were to go okay discount
ties to because I figured this might be
some good input for so both y'all can
give me some input on this one but like
I was saying before I'm having a hard
time pretty much getting along with my
co-workers at this point in time and
part of it is kind of my fault because
of one I'm very blunt and I have a
tendency to open mouth insert foot most
the time because of my bluntness and so
it's got me into a lot of bad situations
part of it is also due to the fact that
I was four years old I was struck I was
diagnosed with autism and so I've always
struggled socially and so that's also
taking part of it to where I never
really known how to get along with
people properly to begin with and it's
got its premise conscious and what I'm
trying to figure out I know the Bible
says that we are to treat love one
another as great as God loves us but
praying but I know a lot of us happen
currently racing when I was I say I
almost stuck with his mind with the the
mind fact I guess I'll say that very
much we raised to say treat others as
they treat you which I know is not
Biblica wrecked but a lot of us are
stuck with that because we live in this
crazy world and so my question is when
it comes when it comes to but you try to
be nice or spectral person but they're
the complete opposite and complete
donkeys but to you offense how would how
um sorry I'm losing my words here what
would be the proper response how should
I approach it what would you do pretty
much I would probably lie
because slow to speak like I should be
like if your goal and asking God to tame
your tongue you know you know a lot of
us want to go into work and have a good
time we don't say and what sometimes
when you when you go in there and have a
good time then you go with those
intentions sometimes you can just say
things they're not that you know saying
that you didn't think about think about
it before you start speaking so I that's
what I'll try to do is just you know be
slow to speak and keep your business and
I'll say like you're there to work be
friendly and and you know kind of stick
to yourself but also do do what you have
to do don't make it awkward don't let
them take that think that you're just
sitting over there in the corner all
weird but they don't say like yeah try
to take it try to going this to work
with a different approach this next time
and you know if you're Kingdom minded
you know in this thing came to mind
affirmed in his word you know it's just
he makes it easy for us to be able to
walk walk it as a life even amongst our
Kolko work first there's like a ton of
scriptures man that you can go back to
and all this stuff's help man there's
there's some books that you can buy like
scripture like scriptures for different
things that you're going through and
like a little pocket Bible thing that
you can keep in your pocket but a couple
of them you know as the scripture says
vengeance is my vengeance is mine saith
the Lord so you don't have to go about
and try to you know take anything
personally or try to figure out how you
can get them back which is something up
you know we all struggle with I think
you know but also I think like a really
good scripture is Proverbs 25 21 and it
starts off by saying if thine enemy be
hungry give him bread to eat if he be
thirsty give him water to drink
for thou shalt heap coals of fire upon
his head and the Lord shall reward thee
said it didn't says the north wind drive
us away rain so dust and angry
countenance and a backbiting tongue so
it basically says like still you know
Christ said that we're supposed to bless
them that curse us pray for them that
speak evil against us that's kind of
what comes with the I'm saying with the
territory like that's the persecution
that said we're going to go through like
those are the promises of God that all
who live godly in Christ Jesus shall
suffer persecution they're going to make
fun of you you're not going to be as
relevant you're not going to do what
they do they're going to find ways to
poke fun of you and things like that but
still be cordial with them and pray for
man and then they say in doing so just
being nice to them and blessing them
when you should be a whole back but you
you respond with the Word of God with us
and a friendly reply it says for thou
shalt heap coals of fire upon his head
in the Lord shall reward thee so they're
good you um saying that like that's
going to be the biggest thing man is
that they can't provoke you to get on
their level of name-calling they you
know they probably want you to call them
names and you know get on their level
man and and they do honey are you a
bully at work are you just bullying
people you might be just not telling us
ya know it's like I do admit I have also
said some things that because I also I'm
I'm also have a known where something
that I may say if I take something one
way so else they take another I don't
always understand that and so I said
things that while may seem funny to me
may also hurt other people and I have
done that so you may time so yeah I
meant poke fun at somebody else's
experience Oh God boy okay be doing that
yeah yeah we all been there though
I've been on both ends of the spectrum
and so I've been the one making fun of
people telling jokes and then I've been
the one who they've tried to do it to me
but it's just all it's all it's all the
Lord man you got to bring it all to him
and let him sort it out and he will do
description says that he'll make your
enemies your footstool and this is a any
tongue that rises up against the thou
shalt condemned so you saying your
enemies you don't you don't have to plot
you don't have to plot and scheme and
I'm saying worry the scripture tells you
that the end of the battle is not a
flesh and blood anyway but powers and
principalities in heavenly places it's a
spiritual battle man yeah I especially
can rule this is that there's I knees
there's something something on his face
cuz um terraces last worked out of work
this past Saturday again uh once again I
open mouth insert foot and it got to the
point where the guy was working with
time we're like right in each other's
space what he literally smell the
cigarette he was smoking on his breath I
thought we were about to start swinging
it was and it was like 10 minutes later
after that I calm down I was like okay
that could have gotten a lot worse yeah
that's a little close for comfort man so
well uh yeah so what's your release date
man you don't have a date yeah you just
got to finish up a couple tracks hunter
just a couple more tracks yes all I got
left I got this song idea that just got
we're gonna lairs recording all that so
and I got the mixer master he's a great
guy goes by uh I try to remember I don't
want his name wrong I think it's like
black Willie from Ohio is his name like
I'm John I am not making me run ball
telling me here I am not that you know
what you said I'm not typing that in
those on on Google black Willie I'm not
no I'm not saying for that reason I'm
being 100% serious
I can't happen
like me I can't look their name up sorry
I don't need for that way but I knew I
was a butcher the names about so I
apologize it came off wrong but Oh Lord
he that's the porn star to jump on a
stag yeah yeah like uh don't don't
Google that name people you're probably
not gonna find them but something else
okay I have his real name here Willie
Edmonds his was named his real name is
really Edmond but he has a hip-hop name
I just came from for left me so I
apologize for that misconception it's
like I'm with myself and on the podcast
stuff like a month good man you you're
providing content man so it's all good
so have you have you had a chance to
listen to um the UH new album by a
separates have you heard that yet um
actually I did I because they allows
listen to music at work and so I do
Spotify all the time and so I did get
Angeles the album it's like and I think
my issue was I was almost complete I'm
sorry a seven I was on comparing the
interview to your first album always say
a prayer and compared to it I didn't
enjoy as much there were some tracks I
didn't fully enjoy but there were some
tracks that I really got a good kick out
of that made me like playing guitar in
the middle of the silo I was owning so
it's like I would act like I wouldn't
say like I don't want to say it's like
ah I feel bad for things because I don't
want it's like I do mean try your best
but almost as good though like it's
still enjoyable at least yeah man it was
about this project is that I'm very
versatile and all different types of
styles so it was really cool is that God
gave me give me a bigger platform and a
bigger audience to reach with different
types of songs to different types of
styles so I completely
um agreed that a lot of people are
probably not going to be connected to
every single one of the songs because I
have so much dis or a variety of
different types of me songs on the CD I
think yeah yeah like I'm with there was
one versatile like there's one song you
have on there that um oh how did it go
it's like oh yeah it's like um the way
goes up they have to do you have that
there's power the name of Jesus going in
the chorus yeah I was driving around a
day and that same course kept on popping
in my head I'm just and in the car over
and over again if I know my course I'm
going so I'm going break every chain
break every chain break every chain so
what song did you not like um hold on I
can't remember every like I couldn't
quite get into it the first couple of
tracks I because I just was like I was
expecting the more upbeat kind of stuff
like you had and it was just warm kind
of mellow and it felt so good your vocal
subtle will not trap your vocals a
little like monotone to me on the first
couple tracks yeah and so that again
this is just me I'm not again could be
completely different or someone else
Chris skits Allah Eber he's giving you
hate to do anyway what else is not what
else not the first time I heard monotone
so we could just it's like don't worry
I'm gonna tell me you're still open all
day that's another day now like I like
hearing these type of criticism for my
music bro because I'm just going to get
better and better
yeah yeah it's like I'm just it's like I
don't mean to be a critic but like I
believe we should also be able to give
them positive criticism for others
because again I'm in all the tracks I've
done all my best words like you listen
to the first mixtape when I was first we
music I was even going
I went by DJ Dell money that was my
first hip-hop name I was going by I
started my music 78 years ago and that
me and the software and the stuff I
didn't record was solo great you could
even understand half the stuff I was
listening to more my former music I was
doing so it's like so I completely
understood all criticism I got mostly
over the years or some point where I was
like dude it's the best song that would
look better Gatley like today I'm like
well that person was right so hey hey
hunter we're gonna put you on hold for a
minute we got another caller coming in
and he may have some positive criticisms
for the album we'll bring you back here
in a little bit Hunter so we got a
caller here who we speaking with what

ready to uh go out in the car right now

name and your rapper by the name Jay rut
I'm going to Houston Texas this week so
hey I got a um I got a comment here in
the in the YouTube chat and this is what
Mike says and Mike you should call in
just so you can kind of elaborate a
little bit but I'm posting the number so
you can call them because I don't really
know what you're talking about
you say get back to write knowledge
exclamation point
stop with all this religion BS you have
to call them and let me know what you're
talking about I don't really know what
that means
I would love for you to allow so give us
a call man this is where you know you
got us for another few minutes man if
you want to talk and we can we can see
what you are talking about about right
knowledge in religion bs so we can talk
about that I would love to talk so give
me a call um about the tattoos man let's
talk a little bit about the tattoos
because you're a tattoo artist as well
they say oh boy oh go ahead yeah so
let's talk a little bit about the
tattoos cuz you're a tattoo artist as
well right oh no I gave it up man I was
a tattoo artist so my ex tattoo artist
um man I gave another light for when I
first started tattooing I was like okay
I really need some money I was doing it
for the wrong attention and nothing God
wasn't involved in that at all but he
was he was involved because it is that
helping me grow in the long run but it
was a bishop pretty much the whole time
and and then one one day you was I was
at work at the shop with me is like are
you willing to let this go for me I
heard it so clear and people would think
I'm just crazy
sitting over there in the corner but man
I got a heavy Commission and I was like
are you willing to let this go and I was
like yeah I'm gonna let it go he was
like all right then quit this job and
sell all your stuff right now and I was
about to do a tattoo and I I was like I
can't do this I told her my team do it
as soon as I went home it stepped on my
door said my wife's like what are you
doing home so early
and I was like okay I quit tattooing god
that god help me you know he asked me if
I was willing to let it go soon as I
stepped inside my house bro tears just
coming down my face I just felt like
chains were broken off of me and I felt
free and I knew for sure it was God's
will he's like I'll provide for you you
don't even have to worry about the
tattooing or anything provide for you
for you doing something that actually
brings me glory and in since then I've
been with my video production
he's been providing for my family ever
since that's what's up you know like I
was talking to you beforehand man he he
he does that that's just kind of the you
know I'm saying the levels that we have
to go through with like dinner with our
idols or idolatry and between Egypt
coming out of Egypt which is a life of
sin coming out of Egypt yeah we're gonna
have to face the Golden Calf man we got
what you know Sam we're gonna have to
face it and I just like I like you know
saying everybody needs to stop doing
what they're doing unless God is telling
them to that's just a testimony that God
wanted me to grow he I don't think he
wanted me to
despite bigger levels to it but from
what I think is I think that God didn't
want me known as a tattoo artist yeah
before the the Christian minister that I
am yeah you know in music and all that
oh well he's a tattoo artist what you
know yeah he doesn't want he doesn't
want me to be spoken evil of I will be
spoken evil up for the rest of my life
but it isn't
didn't want to be just called that you
know that wolf in sheep's clothing yeah
that comes with the territory man you
know saying yeah definitely doesn't be
good now well yeah I mean I'm saying for
being a believer you know I'm saying
that comes with the territory the
scripture says it says woe unto you when
all men speak well of you for so did
their fathers to the false prophets so
in any time somebody everybody's
speaking well of you something's up man
something's going on you don't have no
haters no enemies nobody telling you to
do this but I will say man just follow
this the sweet voice of the Holy Spirit
man wherever he leads you do it if he
convicts your heart if he tells you to
pick something back up do it and you
don't say however long that takes man
those trials and the quicker you
obedient sometimes those trials men
sometimes those trials last four years
dude so when the Lord tells you to do
something do it as soon as you can
because you I'm saying the Israelites
was in the wilderness a lot longer than
they needed to be and it could have been
headed headed to the promised land if
only they would obey so that's just like
what else man we got idols in our own a
heart in our lives and God tells us to
put stuff down I've been through it all
like even with what my plugs are my ears
and the tattoos and everything I there
was seasons in my life where the Lord
said take him out it was like a battle
I'm like why Lord like fighting like
this inward battle of okay what you know
I want all of you like what what are you
you know say why are you finding your
identity in these other things when when
your identity is found in me and and I
and some stuff like that it's kind of
it's it's a real deep conversation but
I've talked to brothers who have had the
same same theme and you know I'm saying
they're earrings and piercings and stuff
and throwing them in the garbage and
went and got them out and I get it we're
not like my pastor told me that the way
airing somewhere was like well I'm so
you selling something my ear I dig up
getting my ear tattoos yeah so I don't
have to wear earrings for more like that
made that thing like that made it better
because they like
well I hope that you really love ya
what's the sale you here can't you're
sorry kind of open love okay but yeah
man that's fair anybody man who's out
there on this just walk of
sanctification and God just calling you
to one level to the next and free in
order for you to go to one level to the
next you gotta deal with everyone all
I'm saying on their level on I'm saying
is usually just it's just change of
small idols and giants you know I'm
saying Goliath and all that so if we
have to deal with one at a time and it's
all part of it so we got another call

so hundred did you ever do did you ever
do a song with jelly um what my one my
first songs I ever get a defuse it was
um I remember this so clearly because a
David Ray of eye for an eye this was
before chowder will start blowing up
big-time with all the stores and stuff
he had jelly roll and Lili Styles
another ten stars in the studio and it
was 400 bucks for the whole thing the
course from Lili the verse from jelly
and the beat the David Ray provided and
it was pretty much it was a love song
that we did as called um ah dang it
I forget the name my own song this
should not be happening Oh
stay with me that was neighbor song was
called stay with me stay with me yes
honey yeah that was the first time
have you heard some of the ink the cover
songs that I did the on that biscuit and
coach amber stuff I am not yet I mean to
listen to it but it always looks my mind
I haven't listened to it yet so make
sure you that I and I said you the track

can't hear it but uh people in the
stream can hear it I'm gonna see if I
can just play a little clip of it
hunter kills ASAP Scooby
who's on the hook that's me on the hook
I love messing without our town dude
yeah really good hook that's a really
good yeah I'm still working on some
songs I do auto-tune and they don't work
that well but this was one of my better
ones Auto Tunes tricky man you know I
used it too but you got to kind of be
like halfway on on tuned when you're
saying yeah yeah oh yeah that's cool
yeah so yeah they got me I'm on the
first verse a satphone second my other
artists my buddies on the third and so
that's one of the more popular songs
that's kind of been like the lead single
for the upcoming album I just have
released every now and then just to keep
people in the same deep um Hunter do you
remember um Mike something like Shelton
all the name rings a bell why would I
know that sug Mike Shelton true from
Triple Threat they were doing um
Christian rap years ago
it's been like but the time I was coming
out it was like what like oh five or
something like that back in oh five so I
think Mike Sheldon is still doing stuff
though yeah he's from he's from Arkansas
well now for the salvage out lighting up
or something yeah now he's dope man yeah
one of my buddies I've done music what
four years he goes like virgin he goes
like virtualbox over and that's his
little laughing and he's a cool guy as
like I actually met him during the one
year I did two eCollege this is before
my walk in crash got a little more salt
more out of rock because at the time was
still in the sand but we're but he
didn't but James was induced in my life
I wouldn't be where I am now it's Tyler
is partially the reason why because if
you're my older stuff I'm still doing
secular stuff about hip-hop this is the
first actual album that I've done that's
going to be more Christian hip-hop based
sir so I'm trying to put all the secular
behind me for the most part yeah that's
what's up man so hey 100 thanks for
calling in brother and we're gonna go
ahead and end the show here in a minute
but I will be back on next week man go
ahead and tell everybody about the
showmance endlessly got everybody man
you bet I will always well being are
always love listen you guys and keep up
the good work ASAP you're doing great
job thanks brother I appreciate it
you too man all right love you both
brothers my brother low dimensional yes
yes that's a good brother right there
man we got a yeah we got a tight-knit
crew man that people just just on the
front lines promoting and stuff on the
back ends as well everybody man plays a
part in the body like everybody has
something about her that you know I'm
saying so hunter is definitely an
inspiration for one for us to keep keep
doing what we're doing and inspiring
people like him to come up and keep
doing what he's doing as well so that's
what's up man
oh really did you have anything that you
wanted to touch on that we didn't get a
chance to no not really
I really kind of covered everything
would covered uh yeah like Willie we
cover that all Dundee DJ Paul Juicy J 3
6 mafia you didn't know you should be
talking about all this he's like man I
came with this podcast this man had me
talking about black Willie man some dude
named black Willie man I don't be like
yeah I got an interview with truth
teller
next week I'm like brother I'll do it
yeah don't do it man it's a setup
yeah the comparisons like fun of you man
he's gonna do side-by-side comparisons
of these secular rappers man and say who
you trying to sound like then he's gonna
have all his fans call in and tell you
that they don't like your album and they
make pick it apart yeah oh yeah job is a
critic old man yeah it's cool never I
got they own you know what they want in
music I'm here I do I came with some
stuff and I'll be straight up with the
person you know
there's some stuff on the radio that
people love yes some stuff on you know
on the radio that yep I can't care for
so I not everybody something like my
stuff bro but you know I I don't I don't
do it really fur to them I do it for the
Lord and yes okay to God intended it to
reach - yeah and with the creative
process of a man create music that you
like because at the end of the day it's
something that you enjoy or not like man
let's just do something that is like
this or something that sounds like this
is do something that you enjoy and and
if they feel it good and if they don't
good you know I'm saying it like whoever
is going to resonate with it I'm saying
they're gonna get it but at the end of
the day because it let's are listening
all kind of people they were like man I
don't like that screaming I do when I
sorta do putting screams in my music I
used to do like like like I'm saying
wrapping metal mix and they're like man
it kind of sounds demonic and I'm this
is coming from people who don't listen
to metal you know I'm saying and they're
like nah man you shouldn't be doing that
kind of music man that's not of God
it's like just cuz like I listened to
that music like it's part of me like and
so if I was to listen to those people
who told me not to do it then I that's
you know some albums under my belt and
some awesome songs that came out in that
process that I wouldn't have you know
even with the new stuff I've done
oh man that's kind of I don't know about
that you just and essentially like it's
good to take constructive criticism but
those who are like creative geniuses man
it's a lot of a long time like you have
to have a lot of time by yourself just
like with them versus man and like
critiquing it not just throwing
something out there oh that's a verse no
you got to go back to the drawing board
okay I can fit a couple more syllables
in that role okay I didn't need to take
a breath there I can fit two more words
just so that it sounds better you got a
you know I'm saying like once you create
it you can't take it back like create
something beautiful that's going to last
you're not saying so that's the way I'm
not you know on another note man like
from to make me feel comfortable when
people said that they're not really
feeling my stuff is that uh you know I
rather however they
life if I'm not called to minister and
reach a million people I'm cool with
that like I'm cool with my people my
audience being low like that my audience
is only like 20 people I'm cool with
that you know I'm saying that those are
20 people that are getting ministered to
yeah you know I'm saying so that meant
that God showed me that and it makes me
comfortable for what's my music at where
that word is yeah that some people are
going to be ministered to and some
people are not but praise God for the
ones that do really really like my music
yep no that's what's up man um Hunter
hunter comment he said he said no matter
to criticism it's love all the way
around yeah yes I only tell you that
because I love you now people people
like different things men um you know I
thought that's all good there's people
are lots of fans with each album but
then I've gained I've gained more it's
kind of worked out you know in my favor
but um you know it can't be you know who
knows man there's people who heard like
I'm saying to cover songs I did who
haven't heard me scream and they were
like they totally cut off or whatever or
like I'll upload some old stuff from
like 2010 or whatever 2011 and people
think it's brand-new and they're like I
don't like the new direction you're
going well I mean that's from 2010 like
that's the old man are you doing yeah I
