00:00St. Bodie is here.
00:03Am I saying it right?
00:04Yeah, St. Bodie.
00:06I was so worried about if I was going to say her name wrong
00:09because my biggest pet peeve is getting people's names wrong.
00:13I hate it.
00:15You said it right.
00:16I get called St. Bodie or St. Booty.
00:19Like, I was talking to this London dude.
00:21He was like, hey, St. Booty.
00:22And I'm like, bruh.
00:25Not for nothing.
00:26I mean, thank you.
00:28You think I got some ass.
00:30You can do some dope promo with that.
00:32Do you know what I'm saying?
00:33Like, the T-shirt.
00:34St. Booty?
00:35It's Bodie, not booty.
00:36Or something like that.
00:37That's funny.
00:38Or something like that.
00:40What's your sign?
00:41I'm Aquarius.
00:42Okay, we get along.
00:44You like, I'm a Pisces, so we're like in the same month.
00:46So we're both kind of weird.
00:47Oh, bet.
00:48Yeah.
00:48Yeah, I'm pretty weird.
00:49I'm not going to lie.
00:50Hold on.
00:51Hold on.
00:52Come here.
00:53My son wants to say hi.
00:54Oh, how are you?
00:55Hello.
00:56What's up, Blair?
00:58Hello.
00:58So, okay, now go sit down.
01:03He just wanted to say hi.
01:05So we're outside in the backyard catching some sun.
01:08That's cool, though.
01:09Your son wants to be involved.
01:10You know what I'm saying?
01:11He understands mom's is, you know, she's popping out here in these streets.
01:15So that's cool.
01:15Yeah, I took him on set once.
01:18He went to one of my video shoots.
01:20And so he did pretty good.
01:21He's interested in it.
01:22So I'll see how it goes.
01:23I bought him a piano.
01:24So we'll see.
01:26No doubt.
01:27As crazy as today has been, it's actually been a blessed day, all pun intended, because
01:32the new single dropped today.
01:33Hey, I'm excited.
01:38Big lit.
01:39So, and let me, this is the first time I was going to do, I was actually introduced to
01:42your music probably a couple weeks ago.
01:45My man told me, my boy EP was like, yo, you got to check this girl out.
01:48She's on the team.
01:49She's on the roster.
01:50And I think she's got a vibe.
01:51Let me know what you think.
01:52And I'm just like, yeah, let's, after hearing the music, I'm like, yeah, let's definitely
01:55set something up.
01:56Definitely dig your whole vibe and what you bring to the table.
02:00Just tell me a little bit about your story, girl.
02:02I am from South Central LA.
02:07I was adopted around 13 to move to Lancaster, but most of my, like, most of my, I guess,
02:12stories come from me being in South Central.
02:14And then I know when I did move to Lancaster, I kind of left for two years and was just like
02:19in the streets being bad as hell.
02:20So, like, that's where kind of a lot of my stories come from.
02:23It's just kind of like dealing with LA shit, you know what I mean?
02:27Being a dark skinned girl, looking at from, you know, because a lot of, I feel like
02:30a lot of rappers, they get to, like, when they're men, they get to talk about, like,
02:34their side, but no one really talks about, like, oh, what about that little black girl
02:37who liked to skateboard?
02:38You know what I mean?
02:40Who was awkward, who still was with the shit, but still kind of corny.
02:43You know what I mean?
02:44So I kind of, I dealt with all that growing up.
02:46That's where, that's my, my, I guess my upbringing.
02:49And all due respect to all the female rappers that are, you know, doing their thing and
02:53in their bag right now.
02:54I think the game is missing somebody with that style, your style.
02:59I mean, I want to agree, don't want to agree, because I'm like, I don't know who going to
03:04be, you know what I mean?
03:05Yeah.
03:06I'm like, I'm not even trying to be in a drama list, but I mean, I feel like right now everyone's
03:11kind of talking about, like, the more secular domineering situations.
03:14I'm more coming from, like, I stand up for myself.
03:18So it's just like, like, I did Go Revolver before I did Bless, and Go Revolver is about
03:22me taking my power back.
03:23Bless is about me getting a bag, not being down about the bad shit that happens in my
03:27life.
03:28And like, instead of like, you know, I'm a thick, I'm a thick bitch, you know what I
03:31mean?
03:31Like, I'm a cute girl, but at the end of the day, I don't feel like my mind is way more
03:35attractive than my body.
03:36Like, I don't, I can get old and this shit gotta work.
03:39You know what I mean?
03:41Facts.
03:41I totally agree with that.
03:43Uh, getting on the Bless record, uh, you start off the record by your man going, you
03:48know, smashing the next door neighbor, like, whoa.
03:52Does this come from your life experience?
03:52What just happened to me on more than one occasion?
03:55This has happened?
03:56More than one occasion.
03:58Really?
03:59More than one occasion, man.
04:01I remember I had one incident where a dude called me, and actually the girl called me
04:06while they was in the room.
04:07They was at, like, Ramada or some shit in the hotel.
04:09So, and she called me, like, yeah, I want y'all niggas, and he's like, yeah, I want
04:14so-and-so, and then a week later, baby, I'm so sorry.
04:16I was high off Molly.
04:18I didn't mean to do it.
04:20And I'm like, yo, you a dub.
04:22Wow, man.
04:23That's crazy.
04:24That period, I just decided, I was just like, yo, I'm not about to let this small
04:27stuff get to me.
04:29You put it in your music, and you made a dope single out of it.
04:31So-
04:31That part, get me paid.
04:32What we doing?
04:34For real.
04:35Tell them, thanks.
04:36Thanks, but, you know what I mean?
04:38You all-
04:38Thank you for the experience.
04:39Yeah.
04:40So, tell me, too, like, I was reading also that, you know, you've also worked with,
04:45I mean, Beyonce, Kiana, Lede, who else with Lecrae?
04:52I did a record.
04:53I wrote the Lecrae record that just came out.
04:55I don't know what they called it, but I wrote it before it got re-sang, and then I did not
05:02work with Beyonce personally.
05:03I don't know why they keep putting that shit in there.
05:05Yeah, I was curious.
05:06I was curious, you know.
05:07I'm around Burgundy.
05:08I keep reading what I be saying.
05:09I see what I read, I read what I see.
05:11Yeah, that part, you know what I mean?
05:12I was in her camp, and so it was like, she personally, like, heard one of my records that
05:17I wrote called Blessed, before it is what it is now, and she just wanted me a part
05:21of some of the stuff that she did, but I did not get a chance to really be blessed
05:25with her as much as, like, one-on-one time all the time, you know what I mean?
05:28And then Kiana Lede, we worked with her.
05:31I know we were working on Rihanna's project.
05:33I did some stuff for Jaden Smith, and yeah.
05:37I mean, still, that's dope.
05:39I mean, at the end of the day, I mean, being at a Beyonce camp is cool, too.
05:43Let me ask you something about these camps, because I was talking to St. John, probably.
05:47Oh, I love him.
05:48If you know him, like, come on, tell him that I love him.
05:50That's my dog.
05:51Like, yeah, yeah.
05:52I let him know I saw you, you know what I mean?
05:56But tell me about these camps, because he was telling me a few months ago about how he
06:01was at a Rihanna camp, and this is like, you know, they're just out here penning stuff
06:05up, and, you know, with maybe the opportunity to sit down in the studio and work with them.
06:10So break it down to me how these camps work out.
06:12I mean, like, they, the A&R, whomever is, like, who scouted you, or however the record
06:20got to them, they'll end up hitting you up, and then, like, they'll have their private
06:24locations, and then you just kind of, like, go in there, and you just write your heart
06:28out.
06:28You need to work with other people.
06:29If you're the kind of person that doesn't like to write with other people, they'll just
06:32put you in your own room, and you just pen as much as you want to.
06:34It's super simple.
06:35You just go in there and make music and cross your fingers.
06:37I feel like it's a sweatshop full of, like, great songwriters, just, like, penning stuff
06:41for, like, artists of the world.
06:42I didn't say nothing.
06:43You said that.
06:44I'm just saying, like, hey, that's just, like, the image I have in my head.
06:48I feel like everybody's just in the corner somewhere, like, yo, you better pen something
06:51nice, like, but whatever.
06:53It is a little, it's a, it's a little, like, oh, fuck, I hope I get this place.
06:57It is a little bit, like, oh, God, please, God, please align the stars for me right now,
07:03like.
07:04That's so funny.
07:05So what else are you into?
07:06I mean, I know you talked about, are you into skating?
07:08You were mentioning, like, you know, where's the skater chick, you know, image being held
07:12in, like, the rap game?
07:14So I can still skate.
07:15I haven't skated in a while.
07:17I'm not going to even sit here and cap on that.
07:19But I'm, like, anime.
07:21I play a lot of, like, PS4.
07:23I'm a gamer.
07:24I read.
07:25I'm kind of very, like, solo duddy, like, solo dolo, like, cutty type of vibe.
07:29I don't have a lot of friends, but I'm more into reading anime and PlayStation.
07:34Did you pre-order your PS5?
07:36I did not.
07:37I'm waiting.
07:37I'm not about to deal with y'all.
07:40I refuse.
07:41I'm not dealing with it, man.
07:42I'm definitely not dealing with it because I'm like, dude, like, no, I'm going to just
07:46wait, like, six months and then get it.
07:47I was actually talking to J.O. about this, and me and J.O. both agreed, like, let's just
07:50wait six months.
07:52Yeah, it's going to be pretty intense.
07:54I know I got friends that play Xbox, and they were losing it after the pre-orders for that
07:59went sour.
08:00So, man, it's war out here.
08:04For these PS4s, it's war, y'all.
08:07So, how have you maintained the creative process in putting out music during these COVID-19 times?
08:14I don't know what phase Callie's on right now, but how have you pushed through?
08:18I'm trying to find shit to get into.
08:22That's it.
08:23Like, literally trying to find sessions.
08:25Can't go out nowhere.
08:26Can't go to math.
08:27Like, I'm a super kid, so I love, like, Dave and Busters.
08:31I like skating.
08:32I fucking, like, go into museums and shit.
08:34You know what I mean?
08:35So, it's like, I can't do that no more.
08:37So, I just hit on my friends and be like, yo, let's just start something.
08:39Let's just work on something.
08:40Literally, this is probably the most self-reflective time I've ever had in my life.
08:44Like, I know way more about myself than I did last year.
08:47But, no cap.
08:48I feel the same way.
08:49Like, this is, it's been an interesting year.
08:51But, also, you know, the self-reflection definitely plays a part in, you know, kind of being home and having nothing to do.
08:58Niggas is bored.
08:59Like, yo, damn, I really need to change some shit up.
09:03Like, I'm kind of lame over here.
09:05Like, I got to really start rearranging some things in life right now.
09:09But, St. Bodhi, listen, you got the Blessed record out.
09:13You've also had, what, the Gold Revolver record out.
09:16Mm-hmm.
09:17Any project on the way, EP, that you working on?
09:21October.
09:22Look for mid-October.
09:23The album Mad World is going to come out.
09:25And then I'm working on two EPs right now.
09:27So, by January, I'm going to hit y'all with two EPs.
09:31I'm going to hit y'all with the album and then two EPs.
09:33I'm coming.

09:35You really going balls to the wall with it.
09:38Yep.
