00:00We got a little royalty in the building up in here.

00:03Danny Lay, it's in the house right now.
00:05Yes, my man.
00:06All them Danny Lyons out there checking in.
00:08She is, I think they on live.
00:10I am on live.
00:12Let me tell you, now, last night I was watching you on live
00:14at, you was getting wings.
00:16I was, I was eating.
00:18And I'm like, all right, this is giving me all my research.
00:21They like pretty girls don't eat.
00:22She's like, shoot, there's my wings right there.
00:24I was showing them.
00:24Get off my wings.
00:26Big facts.
00:27How you doing?
00:28I'm great.
00:29We saw you last time at Wild Splash.
00:31And I saw you in Miami, down there dropping new joints
00:35and everything else.
00:36You comfortable.
00:38I feel blessed, man.
00:39I'm blessed.
00:40You comfortable in this, though.
00:42You just ain't new.
00:43Yeah, it ain't new.
00:44I'm definitely comfortable.
00:44You don't look like you haven't warmed up to this.
00:47You look like you're comfortable in this space.
00:49For sure, for sure.
00:50I'm definitely comfortable.
00:51I've been doing this for a really long time.
00:53So I feel real good where I'm at.
00:55I feel blessed.
00:55I ain't never content, but, you know, I'm good.
00:59I like it.
01:00I like it.
01:01Now, when you first came through, I was, like, shocked,
01:04because that's when I was, like, reading bio and stuff.
01:06And it was, like, you see people.
01:08I know every interview, they mention Prince.
01:10Yeah.
01:11And they're, like, just because Prince was such a big icon.
01:14So if he was here now, knowing he knew you back then,
01:19would he be shocked at how you are accepting all this thing that's around you?
01:24Because you're handling it, wouldn't he?
01:25Yeah.
01:26Did he know you was ready?
01:27He knew I was ready.
01:29I think he just saw it in me.
01:30Like, Prince was a person to find talent like that, you know?
01:33So he definitely saw something in me when I was 18.
01:35So now I'm 24.
01:37So he would love everything I'm doing, too.
01:40That's insane.
01:40Because I stuck to who I was.
01:41And that was a big thing for him, where it was, like,
01:43always make sure you do you.
01:45Like, never, you know, compromise for nothing.
01:47That was his big thing.
01:48Like, don't play yourself.
01:49Like, be you.
01:50Be me.
01:51Like, they'll sign you at 19 if you're wrong.
01:54You know what I'm saying?
01:55Exactly.
01:56And he would be all for it.
01:57He would be, like, my biggest cheerleader.
01:59I already know.
02:00So was it a situation where you would pick up the phone
02:02and could just call Prince?
02:03Mm-hmm.
02:04Like, he would answer the phone?
02:05Yeah.
02:05Shut up.
02:06Yeah.
02:07Like, did he answer the phone and say,
02:08Dilly, beloved?
02:09Exactly.
02:10His deep voice.
02:12Yeah, it was like that.
02:13What are you doing, Danny?
02:13Are you out there in the purple skies?
02:15Exactly.
02:17He would make jokes, too.
02:18Like, he'll be like, holiday in.
02:21Like, that's how he would answer it.
02:23Like, he would say just random stuff.
02:24He was like that.
02:25But, yeah, it was like that.
02:27It was funny.
02:27We would communicate in so many different ways
02:29through email, through Twitter DM.
02:31Wow.
02:31Really?
02:32Yeah.
02:32And it's funny.
02:33I used to handle his Instagram.
02:34You did?
02:35No way.
02:36He used to pay me to handle his Instagram.
02:38So I would post pictures for him,
02:39make all the captions.
02:40Like, if you go see, that's all.
02:41And handle his DMs.
02:42Because I'm sure he got some DMs.
02:44Oh, yeah.
02:44He's like, look, I was supposed to be in Vanity 12.
02:48So, like, you know, like, you're just crazy.
02:50All right.
02:50So now, you moved to this space.
02:52I told you outside.
02:53I was like, you are one of the artists that,
02:55and I told them I was going to tell you this.
02:57And I kind of credit it, because I'm a fan of Prince.
03:00I kind of credit it to you being around him.
03:02I believe you.
03:03Like, I told them, like, when you say yeah, I'm like, yeah.
03:07Yeah.
03:08I agree.
03:09For sure.
03:09Like, you know what I'm saying?
03:10Like, I just, when I see you move around,
03:12whether it's, like, the listening party in Miami,
03:15whether it's on stage at Wild Splash,
03:16even when we was outside chopping it up,
03:18just when you around your circle,
03:20and everybody just vibing or whatever,
03:22it's like it's not what people see on camera.
03:24It's not a put on.
03:25Right.
03:26No, that's real.
03:26So it feels like it's a natural kind of progression
03:28of who you are.
03:29Has this always been, because you started,
03:31you were in Orlando, you lived in Miami,
03:33then you went out west.
03:35Like, has this always been you,
03:36or did you kind of just get more comfortable in your skin
03:39as you moved into the game?
03:41I guess I could say I got more confident in who I was
03:44just off of, you know, wins,
03:45but this has always definitely been me.
03:47Like, I've always been a, like, real genuine, authentic person.
03:51I feel like how I feel is how I feel.
03:54What I want to do is what I want to do.
03:55What I want to wear is what I want to wear.
03:56Like, I've always been very authentic, you know?
03:59So.
03:59And you got a rapper vibe.
04:01Thanks.
04:02She was like, explain that, though.
04:04Explain it.
04:05Tell me.
04:05What you mean?
04:07You know what I'm saying?
04:08Like, singers come in, and they're like,
04:10okay, I have to have everything.
04:11It just seemed like we hand you a mic,
04:13and you can go.
04:13Right, right.
04:14Because a rapper's, like, kind of ready to go.
04:16Definitely.
04:16Definitely.
04:17I love, you know, I don't call myself a rapper.
04:20I call myself, like, a, I mean,
04:21I call myself an artist.
04:23I don't know, I'm like, I'm not an emcee,
04:24but, like, my stuff is very melodic,
04:27but it's, like, it got, like, a rappy vibe to it, too.
04:29So, I don't know.
04:30I just like to flow and go, like, I don't know.
04:33I love it.
04:34Dani Leigh is in the building right now,
04:35and she's got model looks.
04:38She's got artist swag.
04:39She's kind of got this whole thing.
04:41And I wanted to ask,
04:43I told them I was going to ask this,
04:44because we were talking about you earlier,
04:45and I'm like, is it hard?
04:47Like, be honest.
04:48Like, okay, here's the deal.
04:49We're going to be honest.
04:50We're going to keep it 100 with the Tampa audience, okay?
04:51You got Dani Lyons out here listening.
04:54So, I can say this,
04:56and then you'll be like,
04:56oh, thank you.
04:57No, I'm not good looking.
04:59Oh, and we can spend five minutes, like, debating that.
05:01Or I can just ask you straight up,
05:03listen, is it hard being so good looking?
05:06Is it hard?
05:08Do people, like,
05:09do people, like, treat you like,
05:10oh, my God, she's so...
05:12Like, you know,
05:12is it hard to get past that,
05:14to get to the work?
05:16To the stuff.
05:17Taken seriously.
05:18You know what I'm saying?
05:19Like, to be taken...
05:19You're saying, like,
05:20working with, like, rappers and stuff.
05:21Just being in the game.
05:23Like, because people,
05:24when you're pretty,
05:25it's like it's hard for people
05:26to look past the pretty
05:27to see the rest.
05:28I think I'm past that.
05:29I think people respect me, like,
05:31already, like,
05:32when it comes to that.
05:33So, was it ever hard?
05:34Was it ever hard?
05:35I mean, in the beginning,
05:36I guess you could say,
05:37I think when I was a dancer,
05:39going into just, like,
05:40getting signed to Depth Gym,
05:41and then, like,
05:42going into just gaining more respect
05:44as an artist.
05:44I feel like that was, like,
05:45the biggest thing for me.
05:46And, like, people looked at me
05:47as a dancer
05:48because I was dancing with Jeremiah.
05:49I danced with Megan Trainor.
05:51I danced with a lot of artists.
05:52So, just, like,
05:53me really, like,
05:54going in and just putting out music,
05:56people were like,
05:57okay, we gonna see what's up.
05:58Then I really got people, like,
05:59supporting me for real.
06:01Like, I think that's what it was more.
06:02Not necessarily, like, my looks.
06:03It was just, like,
06:04what I was doing before, you know?
06:06I just remember
06:06when I was put on to you
06:07and it was like
06:08you was dancing everywhere.
06:09It was like you would do
06:10a showcase in L.A.
06:11and it'd end up
06:12you dancing with the crowd.
06:13And then it was like
06:14you in Times Square
06:15and you're, like, dancing around.
06:16And people just would stop, like,
06:18I guess this is a show.
06:19Like, it's like, you know,
06:20most people in New York
06:21would be like, man, whatever.
06:22I'm gonna keep going.
06:22And she got, like, 90 people
06:24around her watching
06:25and the video camera going.
06:26And I'm like, yo,
06:27I don't know if this is real.
06:29And then as I started
06:30getting into the music,
06:31I'm like, this girl got joints.
06:33Like, you know,
06:34where it was Lil Baby
06:34and then it was Easy.
06:36Big shout out to Justin Credible, too,
06:37because he made that remix
06:38of Easy, which is, like, fire.
06:40Big shout out to the L.A. leaguers.
06:43He's the nicest guy ever, too.
06:44That's my guy.
06:44He's always...
06:45I posted it up and was like,
06:46yo, I see you, Justin.
06:47And he reposted it, like...
06:48He just posted Craven.
06:49It's all my stories.
06:50Yo, I'm telling you.
06:51He literally reposted it just now.
06:52Matter of fact,
06:52we gotta play Craven
06:54for the people who haven't heard it.
06:55So good.
06:56But we gotta talk video
06:57because the dancing in there,
06:58you choreographed it, right?
07:00No, my girl Cherry choreographed it.
07:01Really?
07:02Yeah, yeah.
07:03Okay.
07:03I like...
07:04I pay people to do that
07:05since you've been doing it.
07:06I like to...
07:08That's what my...
07:08She's one of my best friends.
07:09That's what she wants to do
07:10in her career
07:11is be a big choreographer.
07:12So I'm like, let me...
07:13So you gave her the look?
07:14Yeah.
07:14Oh, girl, that's a bag.
07:16You could've saved that bag.

07:54Yeah.
07:55Y'all know what it is.
07:56That's fire.
07:56First time hearing it on the radio, too.
07:58That is not your first time.
07:59Really?
08:00Yeah.
08:00Wow.
08:01Yep, thank you, guys.
08:01And it still feels good.
08:02It does.
08:03And that beat, though.
08:04Oh, my God.
08:05Yeah.
08:05And young Gerald put his thing down on it.
08:07Yeah.
08:08Yeah, right?
08:08Shout out to DJ Switch, man.
08:10He produced that.
08:10Talking that talk.
08:11All right, so wait.
08:12Now, you come from a family.
08:14Let me put this in perspective.
08:16When you left Orlando
08:17and went on to do music,
08:19how old were you when you left Florida?
08:21I left at 16.
08:23So your fam pretty much
08:24trucked in the business
08:25and took off for your music career.
08:28Yeah, we left.
08:28My dad stayed behind
08:30to take care of the restaurant.
08:31We had a restaurant in Orlando.
08:32And then my mom came out there
08:34with me, my little sister,
08:35and another girl I was in a group with.
08:37So we stayed in, like,
08:38a one-bedroom, like, apartment
08:39and just grinded out.
08:40We were going to stay, like,
08:41we were on, like,
08:42a month-to-month lease.
08:43Ended up staying there
08:44for 10 years now.
08:45Wow.
08:45Yeah.
08:46But, yeah, like...
08:47That's a lot of pressure
08:47for somebody so young.
08:48Right.
08:49Like, they rolled the dice for you.
08:51They were like,
08:51yo, let's do it.
08:52Yeah.
08:52Yeah, I literally,
08:53like, I stopped school
08:54and everything.
08:55I started homeschooling.
08:56It was just really hard.
08:57Yeah.
08:57A lot of homeschoolers.
08:58And then I'm getting my GED.
09:01I was going to be a fly girl
09:02and live in color.
09:02That's actually why
09:03that I'm getting that.
09:04Yeah.
09:05Because they wanted to book me.
09:06I got the job,
09:07but I was only 16.
09:08And they found out,
09:09and I was like...
09:10Yeah, you can't do that.
09:10Yeah, right.
09:11Some people get away
09:11with that, though.
09:12Since you didn't finish school,
09:13do you feel like you missed out on anything?
09:14Maybe, like,
09:15going to homecoming or prom?
09:16Yeah, that's the only thing
09:17where I'd be like,
09:17damn, I wish I would've went
09:18to homecoming or prom, but...
09:19Whatever, you got the Grammys.
09:20Exactly.
09:21Like, who cares?
09:22At the end of the day, for real.
09:25That's hilarious.
09:26For sure.
09:27All right, so, now,
09:28if it was there,
09:29like, the pressure was on you,
09:31and you didn't have cravings
09:33and stuff like that.
09:34Right, we didn't have money either.
09:36Like, we was grinding.
09:37It was just a dream.
09:38Right.
09:38You know what I'm saying?
09:39So, were your parents
09:40hesitant on making that move?
09:43Did you have to convince them?
09:44Or...
09:44Because there's a lot of people out there
09:45who got kids with talent,
09:46but they're like,
09:47I don't know if I'm trucking.
09:48Like, everything we got
09:49to, like, bet on.
09:50Right, she believed in us
09:52because she definitely
09:53was for it and with it.
09:54And you got a musical family.
09:55Like, you got, like,
09:56your brother...
09:57My brother, Bills,
09:57he's right there.
09:58Yeah, yeah, he's in the game.
10:00He's doing music, too.
10:01Yeah.
10:02Yeah, okay.
10:02He's fire.
10:03And then my little sister,
10:04Brianna Leah,
10:05she's in a group, too.
10:06Really?
10:06She's in a group called Bella Dos,
10:07so they're amazing, too,
10:09four Latin girls,
10:10and my mom manages all of us,
10:12so...
10:12Do you like employing people
10:13in your family
10:14and people that you know?
10:15Not only are you spreading
10:16the love monetarily, but...
10:17Literally, everybody on my team
10:18is, like, people I've known,
10:19like, since I was...
10:20My boy Wes right here,
10:22I've known him since I was 16
10:23when I first moved to L.A.
10:24Okay.
10:24My other boy, Jackson,
10:25that I first moved to L.A.,
10:27like, it's literally my team,
10:28my best friend.
10:29And they ride with you
10:31and you can trust them.
10:32Yeah, and they're all, like,
10:33legit, everybody's so fire,
10:35like, in their own way.
10:36Like, last night on your live,
10:37it was some chick
10:38that kept sending you a message,
10:39like, hey,
10:40I want to be your personal assistant.
10:41Really?
10:42I didn't even see that.
10:43Like, you're answering questions
10:45and I'm like,
10:46please answer this, Heffa.
10:48But she keeps busting up the vibe.
10:50Oh, my God.
10:51She got her job application,
10:52like, it's monster.com.
10:53Is Danny Lee hiring right now?
10:55Yeah.
10:55No, I honestly don't have
10:57nobody around me
10:58that I don't know.
10:59Yeah.
10:59Which is the best way, though.
11:01I mean, because, like,
11:01you see your success
11:02can bleed over to everybody else
11:04and it's everything else.
11:05Give everybody a job.
11:05What could you do?
11:06Yeah.
11:06Okay, cool.
11:07You will do this.
11:07I mean, Snoop just hired somebody
11:08to roll for him.
11:10Give him, like, $50,000.
11:11This dude making 50 grand
11:12a year to roll Snoop's blunts.
11:15That's a,
11:15he needs that.
11:16Yes, he does.
11:18Anybody needs that.
11:20I always respect artists
11:21that put in so much work
11:23on YouTube.
11:23Like, that's kind of, like,
11:24a part of, like,
11:25honing your craft.
11:26Do you check for, like,
11:27undiscovered talent,
11:28like, on YouTube currently?
11:30Or are you kind of just, like,
11:31too focused and busy
11:33with your own schedule?
11:33I'm definitely focused
11:34and busy with my own stuff,
11:35but I think more Instagram
11:37I be finding stuff.
11:38I feel like I'm a little,
11:39like, A&R low-key.
11:40Like, I be finding artists
11:42that, like, Summer Walker,
11:44before she was,
11:45what's she that?
11:45I found her before
11:46when she was, like,
11:46and I was a big fan.
11:48I was, like,
11:49then she fired.
11:49Another one,
11:50my friend,
11:51Koyla Rae,
11:51she's super dope.
11:52She is.
11:53Yeah, and I,
11:53and before she was,
11:55like, doing whatever,
11:55like, I feel like
11:56I found her, too.
11:57Those are the people
11:58I put up on IG.
12:00Like, I'm, like,
12:00you might not know
12:01who Yeba is,
12:01but check this out.
12:02Exactly.
12:03I went out to San Francisco,
12:05outside of San Francisco,
12:07for the Lights On Festival.
12:09Oh, you were there?
12:10And you were there.
12:11Oh, cool.
12:11And Summer Walker was there.
12:13Right.
12:13And, of course,
12:13her and Jhene Aiko.
12:15Yeah.
12:15And that,
12:16you talking about a vibe.
12:17Like, because I was like,
12:18yo, when am I ever
12:19going to see all these people
12:20on stage together?
12:22It was insane.
12:23Like, Daniel was basically
12:24the only dude on the lineup.
12:25It was all ladies sold out.
12:27Right.
12:28Like, and y'all just,
12:29I mean, y'all took over the house.
12:30Like, your performance
12:31was fire.
12:32Like, and it was like,
12:33Noah hit me.
12:34He was like,
12:34yo, man, did you see the show?
12:35I'm like, yo.
12:36And he was like,
12:37yo, do you want to go backstage?
12:38I'm like, honestly,
12:39I just wanted to be
12:40in the crowd as a fan.
12:40It's better to watch
12:41in the crowd.
12:42Because you're watching all,
12:43because you're talking
12:44about the Bay Area
12:45and you see that lineup,
12:46you would think,
12:47like, in Atlanta,
12:48it's all black people.
12:49Or you see it in D.C.
12:50Out in the Bay,
12:51it was Asian, white, black.
12:53Like, it was just a mixture
12:54of everybody
12:55who knew every record you did.
12:57Like, how is that
12:58as a writer,
12:59as a creator,
13:00to see people
13:01who paid their money
13:02to come watch you sing
13:04and they just singing to you?
13:05And you stopped,
13:06it was just like...
13:07Yeah.
13:08And they were like,
13:08giving it back to you.
13:09Like, how does that,
13:10tell me about that feeling
13:11when you're on stage
13:11and they singing your words.
13:13It's the best feeling ever, man.
13:14Like, it's definitely,
13:15I remember,
13:16it just makes me think back
13:17of like the times
13:18where I was performing
13:19and they didn't know
13:20none of my stuff.
13:21Or it was full people out there
13:22and you're like,
13:22I'm gonna entertain y'all.
13:23Exactly.
13:24Or even if I did have a big crowd,
13:26I had to really like
13:27sometimes prove
13:28to a lot of people
13:29just because they didn't know
13:30who I was at that time.
13:31So it kind of was disencouraging
13:33for a little bit,
13:34but then I had to realize like,
13:35oh, they don't know
13:36none of my stuff yet.
13:37So it's just they watching, really.
13:38So now the fact
13:39that they know my stuff
13:40and they get to watch is like...
13:42Do you still get nervous
13:42going up on stage
13:43with such a huge crowd
13:44or are you kind of just,
13:45you still used to it?
13:46No, I'm used to it now,
13:47but the only thing,
13:48I do be getting nervous
13:48with like live TV,
13:50like award shows.
13:51Oh, yeah.
13:53Because I'm like,
13:53this is live TV.
13:54It'll be up there forever.
13:56You know, so that just be...
13:57Sometimes I get nervous for that.

17:59just waiting to come.
18:00Everybody on the line last night
18:02was asking about new music.
18:03And I think it's different now
18:04because you don't have to put out
18:05the album really proper.
18:07Right.
18:07You just got to like feed the block.
18:09So like Craven is out there now.
18:11Like, are you,
18:12are you,
18:12like how many records are you in
18:14for this new project?
18:15Um, so I actually,

18:20Yeah.
18:20I just had my label meeting
18:21like a week ago.
18:22So,
18:23so the next one's in the can.

18:26I got,
18:26I got a whole visual album coming.
18:28Really?
18:29Yeah.
18:29So all November I'll be shooting
18:30and then drop everything in 2020.
18:32So you're going to drop everything
18:33with videos all at once.
18:35At once.
18:36It's a movie.
18:36Really?
18:37I love it.
18:38You know,
18:39I just had that conversation
18:40with Khaled.
18:40I'm like,
18:41Khaled,
18:41if you were doing it over,
18:42would you do it different?
18:43Because it's a hard look.
18:45Like Beyonce did it.
18:46Khaled did it.
18:46Like it's,
18:47it's a big movie.
18:48Yeah.
18:48But it's like,
18:49it's also shooting the S,
18:51every shot is right there
18:52at the beginning.
18:53And so like,
18:54that's a dangerous thing
18:55you doing that.
18:56Yeah, it's a,
18:57I mean,
18:57I'm a visual artist,
18:58so I got to have visuals
18:59with my stuff.
19:00So I'm excited
19:01because like,
19:02it just is literally
19:03like a movie.
19:03My whole album
19:04is based off my real life.
19:05Like,
19:06you know what I'm saying?
19:06So I'm just showing.
19:08Is the budget tight with that
19:09or do you just like,
19:10you'll spend your own money?
19:12You know,
19:12Def Jam,
19:13you know,
19:13I'm trying to get some money
19:14from Def Jam.
19:15For real,
19:15for real.
19:16You need some more money?
19:17Wait,
19:17wait,
19:17wait,
19:18what's up?
19:19We got Goliath on the floor
19:20right now.
19:21Paul Rosenberg,
19:22we need,
19:22we need to promo budget up.
19:24Let's get it up.
19:24Let's do that.
19:26We'll get that pop.
19:27It's definitely like a big budget
19:29that I'm looking for,
19:30but you know,
19:31I got different endorsements.
19:32I got my own money.
19:33I'm going to definitely
19:34invest in myself.
19:35I got a funny feeling
19:36you could make more
19:37out of a little
19:38than other people can
19:39because you got
19:40a little bit of a hustle.
19:41What?
19:41Like if they get,
19:42we ain't going to tell them
19:43you don't need their money,
19:44but if they only give you
19:45a little,
19:46you're going to make it.
19:47You're going to stretch it.
19:48Yeah,
19:48definitely.
19:49Like the comparison
19:50between like
19:51the easy Christmas video
19:52and then Craven
19:53is a crazy different amount.
19:56Really?
19:56It's crazy.
19:57Like you can get stuff done
19:58for nothing.
19:59Like for real.
20:00I mean,
20:00there are people out there
20:01shooting on iPhones.
20:02Yeah.
20:03And there are people out there
20:04like keeping it real.
20:05That's super raw.
20:05And that's looking real good
20:06because they're like,
20:07how'd you get that flange?
20:08You're like,
20:08wow,
20:09my signal wasn't good.
20:11That's really what
20:12the effect was.
20:13I'm on boost right now.
20:15It was a joint phone.
20:17You got to get me
20:17that effect.
20:19They're like,
20:20how did you get that?
20:20What director did you use?
20:22I ain't pay my bill.
20:24So it ain't got all my bars.
20:26You know,
20:26but yeah,
20:27I love it.
20:28And the energy
20:28and everybody
20:29who is riding with you
20:30is definitely
20:31Danny Lyon officials
20:32because they rocking with you.
20:33So,
