00:00 I want people to not make excuses to do their dreams.
00:04 I'm Swiss Beats.
00:06 My reputation as a renowned, multi-platinum music producer
00:09 runs parallel to my passion for cars.
00:12 My son Nasir and I will set out on a journey
00:14 to explore different car cultures across the globe.
00:17 How y'all doing today, brothers?
00:19 What's going on? What's going on?
00:21 My first question is for you, Swiss.
00:24 When did your love and affinity for automobiles begin?
00:27 It began in the Bronx, seeing cars go by that I couldn't afford.
00:31 This is my car, that's my car, I'm going to get this one day.
00:35 And then finally getting a Nissan Z300 twin turbo for about 6k.
00:41 My dream car at that time was the Countach, which I definitely couldn't afford.
00:45 But ever since I got the Z, it's just been on since then.
00:49 If y'all are both walking to a vehicle, who's driving?
00:53 It depends on which the vehicle.
00:55 Nah, he's driving.
00:57 So Nasir, man, my next question is for you, my brother.
01:00 Tell me, how was it like working with your dad on this particular docuseries?
01:04 And was y'all relationship more father-son or was it like co-star, co-star?
01:09 It was more of a partnership.
01:11 It was more of a partnership in executing our vision
01:14 and executing what we thought people really needed to take from what we were doing.
01:20 It was just very, very equally synthesized in a way.
01:24 Do you have a favorite vehicle and why?
01:27 Yeah, bro, you see, I like vehicles that people just can't get usually.
01:33 So I like, I want this Batmobile from the last Batman movie,
01:38 which is like the 78 Charger, but they completely decked it out.
01:42 So that's on my list right now.
01:44 How did this idea for this show come about?
01:48 It came about from obviously my love for cars for so long
01:51 and collecting cars for many years, winning car shows,
01:54 and then eventually having this opportunity with Onyx Collective and Hulu,
01:59 Jay Brown and Tata as well.
02:01 And we wanted to put something together that brought all of the worlds together,
02:05 you know, not just showing you expensive million-dollar cars,
02:08 which we could have easily did.
02:10 We wanted to show community. We wanted to show travel.
02:13 We wanted to show family.
02:15 We wanted to show things that's happening right in our backyard
02:19 that we might not have known.
02:21 And we wanted to educate people as much as possible
02:23 and let the drive actually be the drive.
02:26 Yes.
02:27 Yes.
02:28 And this next question is actually for both of you gentlemen.
02:31 What message do you hope that audience members gain from this show after they watch it?
02:37 I hope that they're inspired and they get up and know that you could find,
02:42 find your universal language, right?
02:45 Everyone is able to hear and perceive different languages
02:50 and everyone has a specific frequency.
02:54 So if you're able to tune into that frequency, into that golden frequency,
02:58 you could really, really just create something beautiful and use your--
03:02 inspire yourself.
03:03 Really, like, the biggest inspiration to us should be ourselves,
03:07 should be us growing, should be us watering our own plant.
03:13 My shoes, first.
03:15 I want people to not make excuses to do their dreams
03:19 because, you know, we've seen people build engines with their hands.
03:23 We've seen people print 3D print engines.
03:26 We've seen people work on cars for 10 years straight just to get it right.
03:30 I mean, that vehicle would actually not be for sale.
03:33 We've seen the discipline and the patience, you know, which I've gained from the show.
03:37 You know, we want people to get educated in different areas
03:40 that might motivate them in their main area, even if they're not into cars.
03:44 You know, so that's why it's a car show, but it's actually a life show.
03:48 Thousand percent.
03:50 All right, well, Swiss, Nasir, thank you so much, gentlemen.
03:53 I really appreciate y'all.
03:54 Thank you, my brother.
