Welcome to BuzzMusic, Jody! Congratulations on the release of your latest single, “Where’s the Love?,” What moment or story inspired the creation of this track?
Thanks. Man, I think just living day to day life inspired that track. I’ve been betrayed by people I cares about and have been bad talked by some folks that I’ve shown nothing but love to. I think some people go through this more often than others but we can all relate, so the theme just felt right.
We have to admit that we love the energy emitted in the music video for, “Where’s the Love?” What were the vibes like on set when filming the visuals? Did the vision come out the way it was destined to?
The vibes were dope. Went to Memphis to make this one happen, and all day long just felt in the zone. As far has the visuals, they definitely came out better than expected and I owe that credit to JERM, my new label-mate and producer. He put his amateur talents to work to say the least, and overall in my opinion, it turned out amazing! We hope the concept came through to viewers- performing in an empty stadium, no crowd., so “Where’s the Love"? Ya feel me.
With every artist having a different way of tackling their craft, what happens to be your favourite part of the creative process?
My favourite process is the writing portion. I feel like it’s so slept on now days, since everybody wants to freestyle, but I just love words and word placement! And not everyone is as into that, their process might be to just go in the booth and say whatever. For me personally, I have a knack for putting words where they need to be, shaping my lyrical style. You can listen to one of my songs multiple times and catch something new each time, which I love about music.
How do your musical influences such as Three 6 Mafia, Project Pat, and Juvenile, to name a few, speak into your artistic styles?
Project Pat is a legend and I bumped him as a youngster. “Mista Don’t Play” thats a classic! I loved his beats as well at Three 6 Mafia. Right when you turn a track on, before you even hear a word, your head starts popping! Juve came with a little more bounce and I rocked with that off the muscle. Anything that can get women dancing, well you know, I gotta love that! As far as influencing my style Pat and Juicy J’s lyrical flow and word choices became addicting to my ears as a young child. Pat just hopped on the beat talking about pimpin and all that. With how he extending his words. in such a clever way. It taught me how to write verses while keeping it simple. What do you want listeners to know about you and the music that you create?
All they need to know is nothing but authentic is going to come out of my mouth. Real life this and real life that. My momma needs a house and that a motha lovin fact! But as a whole my demeanour speaks volumes. Nashville has a new king finna step on some toes. Just know I’m chill as they come, and real as they come. But in this rap game I come 2nd to none!
My music has so many different sides of me in it, I shock myself sometimes. Because literally nothing sounds the same, and I love that. I’m not even in a lane, I have free range!
