00:00Yo, so Big X, I remember last time I saw you, we was at the iHeartRadio Awards.
00:04You were talking about your country album.
00:06Yes, sir, yes, sir.
00:07And then, all of a sudden, top ten hit on a Hot 100 with Bailey Zimmerman, man.
00:11Congratulations.
00:12Yes, sir, man. Appreciate you, appreciate you, man.
00:13We just, like I said, we was working, we had the layout.
00:16I mean, I told him it was coming.
00:18I told him it was coming.
00:18Yeah, and how was it working with Bailey, man?
00:20The song is great, but what was the vibe like?
00:22It was a little different because it was a song that I had been had made,
00:25but it was an easy process.
00:27It was an easy guy to work with.
00:28The video, everything went smooth.
00:30I mean, it was just really fun, just doing something that's a little different.
00:33It was a great song.
00:35And, I mean, the country community already embracing you.
00:37We are at Stagecoach now.
00:39Yes, sir, yes, sir.
00:39And you about to hit the stage with Jelly Roll.
00:41So, tell me about Jelly and what y'all's relationship was.
00:42Man, I actually just met Jelly for the first time in person.
00:45Wait, that's wild.
00:46Yeah, we've talked over the phone number of times, but this is the first time in person.
00:49I've been told I was the, like, hip-hop version of him.
00:52He's like, you know, so it was just like, it was like that was twins.
00:55So, now I finally got to meet him, man.
00:57He's a great guy.
00:58It's like me, you know what I'm saying?
01:00He's just a good person that you can tell a lot of people want to be around.
01:03And, I mean, you obviously a legend in the hip-hop community,
01:05but how is it to, like, roll around in Stagecoach, like, different than being at, like, you know,
01:09rolling loud or a hip-hop event?
01:10I mean, it's just, to be accepted, knowing that I don't come from this, you know what I'm saying,
01:14this era, this land, it's just a blessing, man, to know that people are actually willing to take in artists
01:21instead of, you know what I'm saying, just, oh, he's hip-hop, he's not, no.
01:25So, this is our music, we are our artists, we can all do any and everything.
01:30Yeah, and speaking of doing any and everything, let's talk about your Amazon collaboration.
01:34Jesse Murph, how is it to work with her?
01:35She's amazing.
01:36Man, she's so little, but she's so full of a lot.
01:40Like, she's fun, she's funny.
01:43You almost think she's like my sister, you know what I'm saying?
01:45Like, just the way she, we're acting, we're together, man, she's cool.
01:47Like I said, we're just still working, man.
01:50We did that through our Amazon Breakthrough program.
01:54So, yeah, I mean, we just put everything together and we've just been working.
01:56And how is it to, like, work with new artists and talk about Breakthrough?
01:59Because, I mean, Chaperone, so many artists have come through that program.
02:01So, what is it to put your eyes on artists like that?
02:04I mean, I feel like it's obviously very much needed and it's, I mean, it's a blessing
02:08because without that, I might not have been, you know what I'm saying,
02:11without them helping me, I might not have been able to do what we did.
02:14So, it's definitely a W, so it's a win.
02:17Talk about a W, man.
02:18I'm so happy for you, man.
02:19Go on stage, kill it with Jelly tonight, man.
02:21Have a good show.
02:21Yes, sir. Appreciate you.
02:22There you go. Of course.
