Speaker 3:Yo, yo, yo, what's up, what's up, hey yo.
Speaker 4:Baby B, talk to me. What was your inspiration for that track?
Speaker 3:It's crazy because I feel like when I write music, like some of my best songs I wrote in like 30 minutes, so I feel like I was, the beat was fire, and that's just how I was feeling, like don't be trying to check for me if you ain't gotta check for me. It be like a lot of broke n****s out here that think that they could fuck with me and they don't gotta inform me. So don't check for me, don't ask about me, don't come looking for me. If you don't got nothing, you can't do nothing for me. So that's where that was coming from and I feel like it's really relatable too and it's catchy. So I'm waiting on that to blow. I think everybody gonna love that one.
Speaker 4:When did you drop that one? About six months ago, Okay okay, are you working on anything currently that you wanna promote?
Speaker 3:Yeah, I got a song that I plan on dropping end of this month or beginning of next month with Tussi Call Visions. I'm real excited for that, for the people to see that, yeah, that's what I got coming up next.
Speaker 4:And he's gonna be in the video with you too.
Speaker 3:No, I don't think he's gonna be in the video. Okay, yeah, that's a bigger budget, but he's on the song, so that's dope.
Speaker 4:Yeah, that's a great start. Yeah, Starting from somewhere. How long you been?
Speaker 3:rapping now I wanna say about four or five years. I always loved to sing. I always had a taste for music. My dad's a DJ, so I feel like it runs in my veins, he's in the blood. Yeah.
Speaker 4:Okay, where do you say you're from?
Speaker 3:I'm from Connecticut, born and raised Norwalk. I kinda lived all over, though, so I know a lot of people in CT, the 203 area.
Speaker 4:Okay, okay, Jaditha talk to me.
Speaker 2:What's that? What's happening?
Speaker 4:Where you from.
Speaker 2:I'm from the Bronx.
Speaker 4:Okay, when did you start your journey in music?
Speaker 2:I'm not gonna lie. Last year, Last year, so it's fresh.
Speaker 4:Yeah, it's fresh, yeah, I just started.
Speaker 2:I probably got like three songs Okay.
Speaker 4:And what made you wanna become a musician or artist?
Speaker 2:Hmm, someone was really pushing me. I had an ex back then who was into the whole entertainment business and everything, so he faked like pushed me to start rapping. Put me on my first song. It was a feature with him and someone else and yeah, it really started there, in fact. Okay.
Speaker 4:Y'all too made a song together, yet Not, yet Not yet it's coming, not yet, not yet soon. Do y'all have plans too?
Speaker 3:Of course, yeah, we're thinking more. So maybe like some summertime stuff, okay, something that girls could talk about too.
Speaker 4:How did you two come about?
Speaker 3:I was doing her lashes, but I had her on Facebook for a while, but, yeah, I was doing her lashes. That's how we got like closer.
Speaker 4:Okay, okay.
Speaker 2:Yeah, in fact I booked a Gamalaxa done never with anybody else Like she. Really the go with this last shit. For how long you been doing lashes?
Speaker 3:About three and a half years.
Speaker 4:So about the same time you started rapping.
Speaker 3:Yeah, a little before that.
Speaker 4:Yeah, I started rapping a little bit before that yeah, so you just decided to step out into the creative world completely.
Speaker 3:Yeah, I mean I always liked I always like to do music and stuff, but I always love to sing. But definitely I started doing lashes. I was in nursing school and it was such a full-time thing that I didn't have time to really do both. Like I was working at Dunkin Donuts for years and it was such a full-time thing that I couldn't really do both. So I had to figure out how I could make money and work from home if I need to, and make a good amount of money without working too much. Okay, so that's how I got into lashes. It was either nails or lashes for me.
Speaker 4:And did you ever finish nursing school?
Speaker 3:I did not. I was in nursing school in Florida, but I feel like I needed a bigger support system. I have two kids, so I didn't really have as much help as I needed and it was really hard, like sometimes I couldn't go to clinical and things like that, so it wasn't working out. And then at the time I had just started my last business so it really started jumping like after that. Okay, so I just never really looked back. Now I'm trying to kind of trying to figure out my path, what I want to do, and right now I'm doing lashes, which I do pretty good with financially, and I'm trying to see lashes, and lashes alone, able to pay the bills.
Speaker 3:Oh, yeah, like I do really good. I do really good doing lashes. I just started doing makeup too, so that's another thing. And I also sell lash trays. I sell wigs, like some clothes, like I sell a couple things. So, yeah, it's definitely like a really good income, like between travel appointments and like I was doing lash classes at one point. Okay.
Speaker 3:Yeah, and then from there, like I'm giving myself. I'm 23 now I'm giving myself till 25 to have it figured out. I'm trying to push my music, do my lashes and you know, see, see what's gonna really work for me.
Speaker 4:And if if everything doesn't go as planned by 25, what happens then?
Speaker 3:Then I start looking like okay, do I want to go back to nursing school, do I want to like what do I want to do? Because I'm getting older and stuff, because lashes I do really good doing lashes. Last month was one of my busiest months ever that I ever had, because of the holidays and stuff. So, yeah, by 25, like you know, I'm gonna say okay, is my music popping yet? Like, am I on yet am I gonna do something else, you know, if lashes does slow down, because I really do love what I do.
Speaker 4:You do All around, yeah, okay, what would you say to a young girl that aspires to be like you and she wants to get her own lashes started? How could she do so?
Speaker 3:I would say just go for it. I tell people all the time like you really have to like when you're an entrepreneur, you're your own boss, like nobody's promoting your business. But you like, I actually started doing lashes in Florida when I was in nursing school and I don't know anybody from there, I'm not from there, so I started from the ground up I would say mid-September and then by by Christmas time around then I was booked and I just was handing out business cards, doing bring a friend deals. It's always good to do some type of deal where you bring a friend, because then you got two people showing off your work. I did a lot of promotion on Facebook, instagram, the marketplace word of mouth. But you really just have to do good work and be the best at what you do and the word will get around.
Speaker 4:Okay, sounds good. Jadakiss, talk to me, how do you pay? Pay the bills.
Speaker 2:Dancing. I'm a dancer, so I dance.
Speaker 4:Okay, okay, do you enjoy dancing?
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 4:Is that something you plan on doing, or is that like just getting you by to get to the next level?
Speaker 2:Yeah, definitely, just gave me by right now. I don't see myself dancing forever. I'm about to be 22 next month, so I see myself like definitely done with dancing by 25. Yeah, it's a lot of money in the dancing business, so I just need to work on saving Like I'm bad at that, but getting money is you know, is there? I get by pretty good actually.
Speaker 4:Okay, and what are some of the challenges that you face being a dancer trying to break into the entertainment industry? Do you feel like? Do people take you seriously?
Speaker 2:Yeah, I feel like yeah, I feel like it's really my vibe and my personality like to dancing that got nothing to do with business and what I do as a rapper. That's not even the first thing I say to people when I meet people like, you know, if you ask, all right, but you know, if we doing business I mentioned, do some stuff as a rapper and that only like, but I always include it into the dancing. So you know, that's really what I'm trying to do is make music to my own music. I could dance to, just like that.
Speaker 4:They ever played your music in the club, of course yeah, that's lit.
Speaker 2:I'm cool with the DJs, so yeah, they spend my shit. Yeah, if you're cool, it's so good.
Speaker 4:Okay, so you've danced to your music. Are you a topless dancer?
Speaker 2:Yeah, it's two sides to my club, so yeah, one side I do, the other side I don't.
Speaker 4:What's the two sides?
Speaker 2:They got one side you drink on and then the other side you just smoke like hookah and stuff. You can't drink over there. So yeah, you could get, you could take it clothes off on the other side. You can't take it clothes off for the old corn side at.
Speaker 4:They can be full nude on the other side.
Speaker 2:Yeah, oh, where when you smoke hookah? Yeah, but it's really my choice. Like you, I've never been to Minks. Yeah, no, it's a really good club. It's the best club in NCT, I'd say. For sure it is here. There's more than one, right, there's two. There's one in Halford and there's one in Groton, but the one in Halford is it.
Speaker 4:The one in Halford is the lit one. Yeah, okay, okay. And what's the average night looking like in Minks?
Speaker 2:Average like On a Tuesday, wednesday, like what you saw, my like money wise, yeah, um, I Would say 500 a night, like that's average like. But sometimes I woke out of there with what's a great night a great night. 1500 or more, that's a great night. A band is like okay, I did good. Yeah, anything less than being is I am, do you have?
Speaker 4:kids, no kids. Do you have a man? I'm single. Do you think that you could have a man being a stripper?
Speaker 2:Yeah, I did for three years.
Speaker 4:So you just tripped for three years already. He is by before this year, like during, the summer is coming for now, let's talk about your relationship that you have while Wow, three years.
Speaker 2:So I mean, I'm mad mother dancer. I was already dancing when I met him. So I met him, I like a month or two before I turn 19. I was already a dancer scene, what's up. He accepted it like and honestly, like I'm not worried about that, like, even if I don't know that I don't be Something on my head like, oh, is they gonna care whether I'm a dancer, not as much as like this, what I come with, like you for me. And he jacked me. So you know we were deal with jealousy. Hell yeah, of course, like it comes with that. It wasn't more so in the beginning, like I feel like to begin, and it'd be like the honeymoon phase, it's definitely the honey towards the end it got real like it, just it got a little bit more toxic Then did it point, did it pass the point of being abusive.
Speaker 4:Um, what do you mean abusive like? Verbally, physically, mentally, emotionally?
Speaker 2:I wouldn't really say, I think, I don't really think abusive is a word, I would more say toxic.
Speaker 4:Okay, yeah, okay, moving forward. Do you think that that's something you could do again? Oh, being a relationship while dancing.
Speaker 2:Um, yeah, but honestly entertain, yeah, of course, like, but I'm really looking for the next level, like I'm trying to, you know, deal with somebody who don't have me in a shit club. Like I don't have to be in a shit club if I want to, yeah, but like it's not, I have to. Yeah, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 4:So yeah, sure. So how can one take you out of the strip club?
Speaker 2:Right like. He just has to give it to you up front like don't just gotta give it to me but Say okay, I mean like how?
Speaker 4:Let's say there's inquiring minds. People want to know how can they make that move to take you out of that particular situation and lock it down.
Speaker 3:I'm just gonna comment on that real quick.
Speaker 4:Yeah.
Speaker 3:I just feel like you know A lot of girls run into this situation. Guys will meet you somewhere and you know some. I've met girls before that were dancers and, like A lot of people have this persona. Like, oh, you know, you're a stripper, you look this way or you act this way, or you a hoe, are you gonna go for this or that? And that doesn't necessarily Mean that. So you know, you can meet a nice girl. Whatever you find out, she's a stripper at the end of the day, like if that's what she was doing, why, when you met her, it's like it's either you with it or you not.
Speaker 3:And it's like if you want to take somebody out of that, it's like, okay, this is how I make my money right now. Like you want me to stop doing this? And then what? Like, if I'm making 500 to 1500 a night, it's like this is yes, to meet that, or yes, like this is my lifestyle right now. Like, do you have a better Job opportunity for me right now? Like, because most people do it like not so much because they want a strip, but because the money is good, the money is fast and it's consistent. So you know, it's like if you want to take me out of this. Like, okay, now, what like? That's like somebody saying, like, oh, I don't want you to Like, at the end of the day, it's all work.
Speaker 3:So it's like that's like somebody saying, oh, I want you to stop doing lashes, like if I had, like a girlfriend or something. She's like oh, I want you to stop doing lashes. You meet too many girls like you know that's. It's like yeah, it's, it's just like you know what, what can you like? And regardless, I mean, some girls are gonna go for that and like if you were independent female, like us, like you like to have your own money, like anything, I mean, brings us extra, but like Right, so that's how I feel about that. Like you would like. And then that's toxic and controlling already. So as soon as that happens, you might want to.
Speaker 1:Back out.
Speaker 2:Right, okay.
Speaker 4:So, baby, be your single too. Yeah, all right. So are y'all dating. Um, you said, you're entertaining someone, so what exactly does that mean?
Speaker 3:I think she'll talk about you. No, no, no, no like, because you said like she's in the entertainment business and she's like oh, I'm entertaining, she said she.
Speaker 4:she said Now, she's right, she's entertaining someone. Are you entertaining someone?
Speaker 3:Um, I'm I wouldn't say like um, I'm dating or not dating. I'm just right now working on my business. I got two kids. Um, I'm trying to look for a new apartment. So I just been in grime mode.
Speaker 3:So you have Priorities, yeah, and I just feel like you know, a lot of times men Become a distraction and like, when you really like somebody, like somebody might mess your day up so bad, like, uh, I don't want to go to work. Uh, like, uh, I can't like you so mad, you're so busy. Worry about what they're doing and that's not, um, what I'm on right now. Yeah, I like to. I've been focused and I feel good and I feel like it's good and important To know how to be by yourself, like a lot of people don't know how to be by yourself and love yourself and really like, do, like I could do great on my own and you know it's like a lot of guys don't really Like. It's like so many people out here but Connecticut is small and it's like a lot of guys really don't like meet, like what I'm looking for, or you know so what are you looking for?
Speaker 3:I'm not looking for nothing right now. I'm not looking for nothing. Like I said, I'm focused, I'm working, I'm grinding, I have goals to achieve. Um, no, I'm not looking for nothing, but, like when I am like it just has to contribute to me and like what I do and like build me up and like pour into me, like essentially. But I'm not really like I've been doing really good on my own and so I'm not really looking for.
Speaker 4:I won't have even single. I'm a year. Okay, jadakiss, what does entertaining someone consists of? Does that mean that, let's say somebody that you think is cute, somebody that you're interested in, let's say he DMs you today because you're entertaining someone. Can you not answer that DM? How does that work?
Speaker 2:um, tricky question. Yeah, you couldn't. Yeah, so when I say I'm entertaining someone, I mean like I'm entertaining one person like you know, like I'm fucking with one person nigga DM me, yeah, really, like niggas DM me all day, every day. I don't entertain that, like you know. No, I didn't meet the person. Why? I'm insane. I didn't meet him, or DM, or social media, not a man person. And did you meet him dancing? I'm at my club? Yeah, but it was like he was there for like five minutes. I literally like I seen him. He was sitting there smoking. I sat next to him, we had a conversation and then, you know, we took each other number and from there we were just talking.
Speaker 4:So do you think potentially meeting him in the in in that environment could tarnish y'all relationship? Like, let's say, you met him in a grocery store or in Walmart? Do you think that would be a better environment to initially meet someone?
Speaker 2:um, would it be better? I don't feel like we would have spoke if we seen each other in a grocery store, like that's not, you know. Like I see one of which store and I might think, oh yeah, he look good, but I'm not gonna stop and try to talk to him in a grocery store.
Speaker 3:I also think, since that's what she does, like it's kind of like he met her that way. He met her in her own aura, like her, right, that's what she does. So, my bad, I feel like it's better. Yeah, like he sees off, rip that this is what she do, like he knows, like has an idea, and it's like up for him to decide, you know, whether he fuck with her or not, cuz, like you know that's who she is, that's what she does right now. So I feel like it was a perfect place to meet him. Yeah, cuz it's like, like I said, you can meet somebody in the grocery store. You don't know nothing about them. You really start liking them and you find out that you may or may not like it, you know. So I feel like it was a great place yeah, definitely and Howard, things coming along even good like even then.
Speaker 2:Yeah, we linked up a couple times we've been on a date. Yeah, we like we vibing right now. I like it, like it's real good right now, okay, okay, all right.
Speaker 4:So y'all give me a recap of 2023 how each one. This is for each question, this is for each of y'all. How was 2023 and, looking back at it retrospectively, if you could go back and make some changes, what would be some of the changes you make to 2023 and what's next for 2024?
Speaker 2:I wish I focused on myself more, like last year. Well, for the last three years I was like in a relationship and shit, and I honestly feel like like last year was one of my worst years like ever. Like for real, for real, and I just wish I, like I took, I wish I took the help from the people who are genuine, who love me genuinely, you know, just kept on me genuinely more I was more so like looped up around the nigga and like I don't know I missed out on a lot of opportunities. You. So this year I'm just focusing on myself more, doing things for myself, like I was last year. I was trying to do things together with somebody you know, like get a grip together, like nah, this year it's just all about me. I'm trying to elevate myself. Like I don't got time for you to try to be like, try to tear me down and shit. It's just me. Like I'm gonna protect my energy. This year I think that's a big goal for me.
Speaker 4:Okay, and you're gonna work on more music moving forward. Yeah definitely more music. That's something that we could expect more from you in 2024?.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I'm dropping a music video this month. Actually right before my birthday is the freestyle Get Ups and Freestyle y'all probably heard it by Cardi B a few years ago. I remixed it, so I'm gonna do the visuals, so that I already did a song. So we're gonna do the visuals this month and then we're gonna drop it before my birthday.
Speaker 4:All right, sounds good. You can talk to me.
Speaker 3:Yo, yo yo.
Speaker 4:Same question.
Speaker 3:Oh, a recap I definitely was grinding this year. I was actually very happy this year, happier than I've been in a while. I feel like I learned a lot about myself and I feel like being by myself a lot really taught me how to love myself and it showed me how I was really turning up on my own. I was doing music back to back in the studio, heavy working way more than I worked before, really pouring into myself a lot, and I had so many doors open up for me just this year, just off the music I made, and I just felt like I wouldn't have had such great vibes if I didn't spend so much time by myself figuring out what I like, getting to know myself better. So, yeah, definitely I was grinding.
Speaker 3:I dropped I am that video, I dropped Make Believe, yeah and I got a lot more videos to make this year. I feel like I did so many songs last year that I didn't drop, so this year I'm gonna focus on content, videos, photo shoots and really dropping those songs. I plan on dropping a couple songs, maybe five or six more, to really get people familiar with me before I drop an album, because I feel like as an artist even a major artist, you drop an album. Realistically, unless you're a really big fan, you're not gonna sit and listen through to every single song. So definitely I wanna. What about?
Speaker 4:Mixed.
Speaker 3:Eight. Yeah, I'm gonna drop a project at some point, but, like I said, I just have a couple more songs that I wanna drop. I got the one with Tusi and I got another one called Budget. It's kind of like a Dolce Cat type vibe pop song. And then I got one more song, harder Feelings. That one's gonna be really dope. And then Summertime come around, so around June I'm gonna drop another one called Spend it, just to see me, and after that I think I'm gonna drop my project, like mid-Summer Time and the Summertime.
Speaker 3:But I got a couple things to do and it's like as an artist too, like my dad's a DJ. He kept telling me like no, don't drop this yet, don't drop this yet. You gotta push this one, push this one, get them interested for something more. But the song's doing pretty good numbers right now. Sometimes I go to the club and they play my song that be lit. And then I see, sometimes I see people in the club singing my song cause it's played on the radio so much. So that's really dope. So I can't wait to like you know.
Speaker 4:Even some of the guys at LFTG know who you are and some of your music that's like that's dope yeah, yeah that felt so good and a part of the platform.
Speaker 3:Yeah, I definitely gotta spread out a little bit.
Speaker 4:Do you perform? Live anywhere?
Speaker 3:Yeah, like I always do showcases and stuff like that, I did a bunch of showcases. I did one in Brooklyn Most of them are here in CT, one in Jada with me. Where was the last one we did? Was that in the Bronx or Brooklyn, in the Bronx, in the Bronx?
Speaker 4:yeah, Okay, so you getting your name out there.
Speaker 3:Yeah, like I'm getting people.
Speaker 4:Any comfortable performing live.
Speaker 3:I'm more so comfortable now.
Speaker 4:Okay.
Speaker 3:But I definitely have some growing and working to do because I would like to learn better how to. It's one thing to like create the song, but also the delivery is very important. So at some point I do wanna take like dance classes and get with the choreographer and really like figure out how to deliver my song the way I want to.
Speaker 4:Okay.
Speaker 3:Sometimes I feel like I'm doing a song and I'm performing and you know the crowd is hype and stuff and but it's like You're still missing the element.
Speaker 3:Yeah, like sometimes, if I'm doing it by myself, I'm like, oh my God, like it's hard to like figure out how to really deliver the song, like without other people, like if it's not one of my R&B songs, like it's a hype song, like you gotta figure out how to really work with the crowd and deliver and traveling, traveling all. So that's something I definitely wanna learn and work on. For sure, my voice is very raspy, so a lot of times when I perform I lose my voice midway. So that's something I gotta work on too.
Speaker 4:Okay.
Speaker 3:Cause I feel like I use a lot of wind and my voice be gone Like second song. I'm done, like you know, cause I'm trying to like really talk loud and be in the mic and stuff, so I definitely wanna work on that.
Speaker 2:I think you're really good for that.
Speaker 1:You think I be feeling like I You're going to say that you like Really.
Speaker 3:You're going to say that you're like I be feeling like I be up there looking crazy, but I be trying not to like you know. That's another thing, that-.
Speaker 2:You're gonna be happy with Right.
Speaker 3:That's another thing, that kinda. That was hard too at first, cause sometimes, like NCT, a lot of people like you'll have a showcase and certain individuals will get mad love in the club, mad people recording mad love. Right now I feel like I'm getting more love than I was before, but in the beginning I got like no love. It was like me and Jada and probably I had to pull people out the crowd. I feel like but yeah, like, yeah, it's definitely like Really like natural, natural girl. Yeah, I'm trying, I'm working on that. Um, definitely I love performing. Like it really like. Yeah, like I said, mad people, some people get mad love.
Speaker 3:And then there was one time where like everybody performed and it was my turn and then everybody had left the club and I was like I'm not performing everybody left and I was like discouraging you know what, but I didn't let it discourage me only because I know my music is good, I know I sound good, I know I look good, so I'm like it doesn't matter if it's two people in the room, like I'm still artists and, if anything, this is practice, like I should always take opportunity to, like you know, perform and showcase my talent, even if it's to like one or two people. So that was something that I learned and I'm glad that I did still, like in a room of empty people, still go hard and give him my all, like everybody's there, yeah, that's what's up, yeah, and it doesn't make me feel like stupid or anything, because I know.
Speaker 3:Yeah, like because I know my music is good and you know some people. May you know, like I said, people got clout, people know mad people, like I know people, but some some are more well known than others. Like you know, I never like grew up in the hood so I wouldn't say like I had like a community of people that I grew up with or knew, like I kind of was everywhere. So yeah, I feel like that's part of like the not really getting that much love. But I do now like it'd be good, it'd be straight for the most part girls, guys, are you satisfied with the love you get?
Speaker 4:you feel like you get hate.
Speaker 3:I definitely feel like I get hate.
Speaker 4:I do More hate or love.
Speaker 3:It's mad love. I feel like it's mad love overall like, and sometimes like like when I get promo posts and stuff like that from people who don't know me at all, it'd be so much hate like, definitely more hate than love from like the outside crowd.
Speaker 4:Yeah.
Speaker 3:I don't mind it at all, it doesn't hurt my feelings, because I genuinely do want to know, like, what are people saying? Well, like I had this one artist like do a promo post for me. Like he posted my music video, tag me and stuff, and he asked his followers. Like he had like 150,000 followers or something and he asked the people like what do y'all think? Like a lot of people's like, well, she fire, that's dope, whatever. Some people was like this is trash. Like how much she paid you to post this. Oh my god, delete this asap. This is embarrassing. But that didn't bother me. Like I actually like to see the feedback because you see, like all these major artists constantly getting shit it on and so I feel like that's just something that comes with it and like any attention is like to my music and whatever. Like because they might be talking shit about me, they might be talking shit about me to somebody else and they might say, well, I fuck with her, like what's her information?
Speaker 3:so you definitely got to have like tough skin and understand thick skin yeah, you got to understand that, like people are, not everybody's gonna like like your type of music, not everybody's gonna respect what you do. But yeah, that doesn't hurt my feelings. It actually pushes me to go harder. I actually really like to know what people who don't know me think.
Speaker 4:Okay, so I know y'all got to start heading out, so I just wanted to ask you, baby B, if someone wanted to get their lashes done and they wanted to get their lashes done by you how would they do so?
