first one was Sean Garrett versus the
dream this particular battle with
Dante's idea actually we talked to a
friend of mine I was like you know what
about you know if I challenge do he was
okay well let me call behind see we got
the call back that goes in says let's do
it number love for it to kneel for doing
it because everyone knows the video is a
lot of people didn't know who I was and
so to have that exposure you know and so
nothing below neo and Swiss and Tim were
making happen so many people in the
comments were surprised to learn just
how much Dante has accomplished he's not
new to this it's important for everyone
to get a regular checkup but would you
go to the hospital if you didn't even
have to when he was younger Jonte hosted
TBS has been news show kids beat which
led him to interview celebrities like
Michael Jackson and eazy-e before fully
realizing his dream of singing you've

of people didn't know about the Aaliyah
records writers don't usually have this

make you feel to finally be so to speak
getting your flowers at this point it's
an amazing feeling it's really good and
to see people who didn't know even
though just like the respect of the
industry which I wished I had but to see
my contemporaries but to see someone
like a drape a Travis Scott like wow it
was great to finally get my face in a
known to the everyday feminine but I
feel honored ever connected to the music
that way and that's why they never like
this no I mean that was a byproduct just
I love that they love the music so Jonte
showed up dapper down to the cufflinks
because I said you know people are gonna
be getting their first look at me
Jonte is glad to be part of something
that 80,000 people tuned into has it
been decided
officially who won was it did you guys
decide on the tie or was it like is you

Jonte says he's happy to help spread
smiles for those looking to connect and
take their mind off of the coronavirus
for just a spell while we're all alone
together that's the beauty of what Jim
and Swiss put together it to be able to
entertain and I love that music as it
has always is the thing that brings us
together I'm happy to participate in
that I'm happy that I've been able to
give people records get them through you

what the music is about
