OUR NEXT GUESTS ARE A TALENTED DUO OF PLATINUM SELLING AND
CHART-TOPPING ARTISTS.
WE'RE SO EXCITED TO HAVE THEM WITH US AT THE LATE LATE SHOW.
PLEASE WELCOME, THE ALWAYS COOL, KSI & YUNGBLUD.
HERE THEY ARE!
( CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ) >> James: I'M SO HAPPY TO SEE
YOU.
THANK YOU FOR FINDING THE TIME FOR US.
THANKS FOR BEING HERE.
FIRST, I HAVE TO OFFER CONGRATULATIONS TO BOTH OF YOU.
YOU'VE BOTH BEEN NOMINATED FOR THE FIRST BRIT AWARDS THIS YEAR.
KSI, WHAT WAS YOUR REACTION TO HEARING THE NEWS YOU GOT
NOMINATED?
>> OH, I COULDN'T BELIEVE IT.
I WAS JUST, LIKE, REALLY, WHY?
I MEAN, OBVIOUSLY, LIKE, I HAVE BEEN DOING ALL RIGHT WITH THE
MUSIC, BUT, I THINK IT'S COOL THAT I GOT ACKNOWLEDGED FOR AN
AWARD.
AND THE SONG DID REALLY WELL AND IT'S MAD HOW MUCH I PROGRESSED
IN MUSIC, MAN.
>> James: IT REALLY IS.
IT'S A TREMENDOUS ACHIEVE.
HOW DID YOU FIND OUT?
>> MY MOM CALLED ME.
THEY GOT A BIT CHEEKY, MAN.
THEY WENT BEHIND ME BACK AND THEY CONTACTED ME MOM.
SHE RANG ME ON THE PHONE AND I'M, LIKE, MOM, WHAT'S UP.
SHE NORMALLY RINGS ME IN THE MIDDLE OF IMPORTANT STUFF.
THEY'RE, LIKE, YOU REALLY NEED TO TAKE THIS.
I SAID, ALL RIGHT.
WHAT'S GOING ON.
SHE'D, LIKE, YOU HAVE BEEN NOMINATED FOR A BRIT AWARD!
>> James: SOMETIMES PEOPLE THINK YUNGBLUD, YOU PUT ON THIS
ACT AND BRAVADO, BUT THIS IS REALLY WHO YOU ARE 24 HOURS A
DAY.
>> OH, YEAH.
>> James: I WAS HAVING BREAKFAST WITH MY DAUGHTER ABOUT
TWO WEEKS AGO AND ACROSS A LAWN FULL OF PEOPLE I HEARD, JAMES!
HOW YOU DOING, BUDDY?!
AND COMES RUNNING OVER, AND I WAS, LIKE, WELL, NEITHER OF US
ARE KEEPING A LOW PROFILE NOW.
HE'S, LIKE, SO GOOD TO SEE YA!
I LOVE HOW HAPPY YOU ARE.
IT'S SO WONDERFUL. HE WAS, LIKE, ARE YOU HAVING BREAKFAST?
ISN'T BREAKFAST AMAZING?!
( LAUGHTER ) YOU'RE GETTING READY TO TOUR.
I KNOW YOU MUST BE SO EXCITED.
IT'S THE THING YOU LOVE THE FIRST TO GET BACK OUT THERE AND
PERFORM FOR YOUR FANS IN PERSON.
WHAT CAN WE EXPECT?
>> I'M AS READY AS A RABBIT ON EASTER.
I'M CHOMPING AT THE BIT.
IT'S BEEN A YEAR OF BOTTLED UP ENERGY AND I JUST FEEL LIKE IT'S
CHRISTMAS EVE, I KNOW IT'S FOUR MONTHS AWAY, BUT WITHOUT THEM IN
ME LIFE, WITHOUT SEEING THEM, WITHOUT CONNECTING THEM, WITHOUT
SMELLING THEM AND EVERYTHING, I JUST FEEL A BIT, LIKE, EMPTY.
SO I CAN'T WAIT FOR THE CHAOS AGAIN.
>> SMELLING THEM.
( LAUGHTER ) >> James: IT'S GOING TO BE
GREAT.
KSI I'M GOING TO TALK TO YOU ABOUT THIS AND HOPE YOU GIVE US
SCOOP.
YOU HAVEN'T TALKED ABOUT THIS YET, BUT I'VE HEARD A RUMOR THAT
THERE'S AN ALBUM COMING AND IT'S COMING THIS SUMMER.
YES.
>> James: WHAT CAN WE EXPECT FROM THE KSI ALBUM?
I'M EXCITED ABOUT IT.
>> OKAY, SO, JAMES, I'M GIVING YOU AN EXCLUSIVE, ALL RIGHT.
ONE TO HAVE THE SONGS, CALLED NUMBER TWO, IT'S ONE TO HAVE THE
BIGGEST SONGS OF THE ALBUM AND I HAVE FUTURE AND 21 SAVAGE ON
THIS SONG.
I THINK I'M, LIKE, THE ONLY U.K.
ARTIST TO DO THAT.
IT'S GOING TO BE MAD.
WHEN PEOPLE HEAR THIS TUNE, THEY'RE GOING TO LOSE THEIR
HEADS.
IT'S GOING TO MAKE MELT FACES.
>> James: THAT SOUNDS SO -- I'M SO EXCITED.
THE PROSPECT OF YOU FUTURE 21, THAT IS A POTENT MIX, AS IS THIS
COMBO YOU'VE PUT TOGETHER HERE.
IN A MOMENT, YOU'RE GOING TO PERFORM YOUR HIT PATIENCE, THIS
WILL BE THE FIRST TIME YOU'VE EVER PERFORMED THIS ON
TELEVISION.
HOW DID YOU RECRUIT YUNGBLUD AND POLO G FOR THIS COLLABORATION?
>> YUNGBLUD, IT STARTED AT THE EMMY AWARDS.
I LOVED HIS ENERGY, DRIVE, CREATIVITY.
I WAS, LIKE, YO, I NEED A PIECE OF THIS, I WANT TO TALK TO THIS
MAN.
I D.M.'D HIM, WE MESSAGED EACH OTHER.
WE GOT IN THE STUDIO, HE STARTED GOING CRAZY, AND EVENTUALLY WE
MADE A SONG AND CREATED THIS AMAZING FRIENDSHIP.
WITH POLO G, I WOULD BE, LIKE, IT WOULD BE SO SICK TO HAVE HIM
ON THIS SONG.
WE ASKED HIM AND HE WAS FULLY DOWN AND MADE IT WORK.
AND, BOOM, "PATIENCE."
>> James: I LOVE YOUR ENERGY, I LOVE EVERYTHING YOU'RE DOING
RIGHT NOW.
THANK YOU FOR GIVING US THIS INCREDIBLE PERFORMANCE.
