00:00I ain't never been with a baddie. She come so I add her to the tally.
00:03Matter some but I'm calling her Maddie. Now just try send me the addy.
00:07I ain't never been with a baddie. I was really talking about Instagram baddies.
00:12I wasn't saying everyone I've been with isn't a baddie. I got a lot of angry crews about that.
00:18I just want money that's calm. Teenage never worry about acne.
00:30So what I'm saying is like I just want money that's easy. It's light. I just want money that's
00:34calm. Teenage never worry about acne because we're good. We don't worry about spots. I'm
00:38young. No stress. Do you get it? She come so I add her to the tally.
00:42Calm is like UK slang, London slang and it means like chills. People thought I was saying calm
00:48as in I was talking about, you know, my like sex life or my song. I'm not that dirty,
00:53but everyone wants me to be that dirty. So I'm just going to let you guys have that.
01:02Oh, by the way, fanny over here means vagina and in the States it means butt.
01:07So we need to make that very clear. I meant play with
01:11that vagina and not play with that butt. Okay.
01:24We just got yacked. Do you know what I mean? Sorry, drunk. We just got drunk. We just spat
01:29the bars. We literally, I can't lie. To be honest with you, there's probably like eight
01:33versions of the song. Do you know what I mean? Because we were just doing different takes,
01:37different freestyles of like sections of it. I was just talking rubbish. I just talk a lot
01:41of rubbish on the mic until it makes sense. And then Dre's flows literally just bounced
01:45off mine and was like, yeah, it's a track. Do you know what I mean?
01:52We spent loads of time together, just vibes in. And when we was in the dance stuff was like,
01:56we both had the same passion. So we'd always be freestyling, taking the mic, like doing our stuff.
02:00And then one day she just said to me like, yo, you need to, need to make music. It's very easy
02:05and natural making music with someone that you know personally and someone that knows your vibe.
02:09So it didn't feel forced.
02:23So I was just trying to like think about moves that people can actually catch onto. And people
02:28still say it's hard, but I tried my hardest to like keep it kind of, you know, TikTok-y.
02:35They get the vibe.
02:37When it went up to half a million, I was like, yeah, this is, this is going to do numbers. I
02:42knew. And then I was just like, we need to keep doing the dance like every day. And I was just
02:47rinsing the dance out every day. There's been like some sick transition videos. I mean, like
02:57actually people transitioning in the videos, like kicking a mannequin head and then the head
03:03ends up rolling. Like I saw some crazy ones.
03:18I think the US trap beats, like they draw people in because it's just that big 808. It's a big
03:24bass. It's doom, doom, doom, doom, doom, doom. And I feel everyone can just nod their head to it.
03:31You know what I mean? And I feel like people, I don't know, haven't heard UK accents or,
03:38you know, British accents over the top of that. And I think we're starting kind of something new.
03:42So you got to expect something different because that's how we're moving this year, baby.
03:46UK's on the rise. You feel me?
