Um, Are you preparing for your solo?
Yup [BM is exhaling deeply]
Asley: When is it coming out
[Peniel is imitating BM and laughing]
BM: lots of stuff
Peniel: it might be out before, Oh no, maybe like around the sametimes
BM: Um, it's probably going out a little bit later
Peniel: a little later on
BM: So, we're hoping for late April, early, early May
Peniel: Ooooooh, Okay, later then
BM: Yeah, this whole process of getting ready for it has been crazy
Cuz the company, my label has been kind of umm
more trusting and more um on the side where they're almost relying on me to organize everything
Peniel, Asley: Um, um
BM: So I've been going out doing, doing the song writing, getting the song, um
You know, getting all the demos, meeting up with the producers, writing the songs together
Um, some of the songs 're participating in the mixing too
Um, obviously, recording all of them
Peniel: Um
BM: And um, not only that, I um, you know
I was um, I want to be as hands-on as possible so I um [chucking], I um, I
How do say "hobbei"(korean)?
Peniel: Hobbei ?
Asley: you scout, you..
Peniel: yeah, scout
BM: I scouted the music video's director?
Peniel: oh yeah, I mean you reached out to me
BM: yeah, yeah, I found, i found a dope music video director
I'm talking to you know, the my choreographers that I 've been working for a while, um
Asley: That's good, they give you like creative freedom
BM: yeah, creative freedom
but the thing with creative, the thing with the
another big thing that I realized with this is you need a team
Peniel, Asley: Yeah, um
BM: like this whole process, if you're gonna do it yourself, it's gonna you're the leg work
first, first and foremost is insane
you have, you have to go every like
I think taxi money, just this past month has been over like 200 - 300 bucks
Peniel: damn
BM: yeah, just like once Itaewon back, once the Gym back, once the company back and then just like
the amount of time that I spent on the phone too, it's like ridiculous
Asley: wait, you have a manager
BM: Well, I don't, I don't ask him to take me to the the studio in
in my homies' studio like you know 10 at night
Peniel, Asley: Um, Oh
BM: Yeah, I don't know, my coop, my label doesn't work like that
I don't ask my manager to like you know
take me around everywhere I kind of like
just kind of being like my own thing
Peniel: yeah, me too, me too
BM: yeah, um but yeah, like
trying to figure out music video 's concept
talking to my stylist about what I'm gonna wear,
looking on, you know, searching stuff on what I should wear
like what I want things look like
like so much work,
Asley: Um
BM: But I like work, I like work everything's going right now
I like the energy of the team where it's headed right now
I'm just hoping like the 1st solo project that it pops-off to a degree where everyone is gonna want to work in this team again
Cuz I have some dope people in the team right now, but
Peniel: That's good, that's good
But but, you need a team like
Peniel: yeah, for sure,
BM: yeah
Peniel: It's like, like too much stuff to do by yourself
BM: yeah, yeah, even organizing all that by yourself is crazy
And I think this is a good experience for me
because at the end of the day, I have to, I have to kind of draw
I don't want anyone to blame at the end
BM: you know what I mean? I don't want to be like: Peniel: Um
Peniel: Um
Oh, you weren't we weren't on the same page that why this flopped
Peniel: Right, right
BM: we were, yeah, at that day I want everything to be like
either, damn, BM's idea was tight or BM's idea was wack
And then from there, I got no one else to blame so I just try a new thing that we should
Peniel: Right, right go from there, go from there
BM: yeah, but it's a, it's a good experience
I mean in the midst of all this I have a lot of featuring, um
love calls coming in
Peniel is howling
um I've been working with some other dope artists
um yeah, just bunch of like stuff
Peniel, Asley: that's good
Peniel: busy, busy
BM: trying bro, trying to rebrand myself for this year
and you know obviously, Kard um being that one of the members are in military right now
we're not gonna be able to do stuff until he's out again
Peniel: Um
BM: But um yeah, as far as right now, I'm just trying to brand myself as some dope
Peniel: Better busy than super free
BM: yeah, super free is kind of stressful for me
Peniel: yeah, yeah
