Milwaukee Has TALENT

101.7 the truth

Truefisher girl Jazz Tyler Digi Meach.

We are live and direct at the American Family Insurance studio in the heart of beautiful downtown Milwaukee Meach.

What's the word?

What's the word?

Talk to me.

We got some special guests in the building.

Got E2 and Wavy Boy.

Top producers from Milwaukee, MPE Legends, Industry.

Fine.

What's going on?

Yes, indeed.

What's the word?

What's the word?

Man, grateful to have y'all up here.

Grateful that y'all are even from the city.

Um, just very excited for y'all to be here.

How y'all feeling today?

Good.

Good.

Come on, man.

I know.

These are my

boys.

That's what's up.

Um, I want to start with you, right?

First and foremost, I've had the pleasure of seeing your journey from start to finish.

I think it's incredible, especially coming from where you come from.

I think your dedication is amazing as well.

And it's, I don't like to say role model, I say real models, but you're a real model for the

generation

coming up in a city, right?

Can you just tap in a little bit and let us know your upbringing how you got into music where you from?

Yo,

so I'm wavy boy born and raised Milwaukee, Wisconsin My good Highland Park projects, so I grew up in Highland Park.

So if y'all know about Highland Park I know what's going on.

So

Yeah, my background in music, man.

I started in church.

I'm the fourth oldest of 10.

My mom and dad are pastors,

you know?

So,

y'all

know

how they go when you PKs.

Yeah, absolutely.

We in church every day, almost, you know?

So, my mom, she played drums and she used to tour with Sheila E. First

of all,

Shout out to

moms.

I love

the drums, but that's fire.

Yeah.

So she played drums and, uh, she used to play for like, uh, the churches when we was growing up and, uh, I picked up the sticks at two.

So I started playing drums at the

age of

two.

Yeah.

At the age of

seven,

I was leading, uh, North Division marching band on snare.

You know what I'm saying?

That seven, you know, so, um, music has always been around my family, like my uncle's play.

Yeah.

Her brothers, they play, you know what I'm saying?

So.

It's genetics.

Yes.

It's in me.

You know what I'm saying?

It's definitely in me.

So once I start playing the keyboard, I start playing the keyboard at 12.

That's where me and E kind of met each other because our siblings was going to high school in the arts.

And Erica, she

used to.

My big sister, my big

sister.

She used to.

Talked to my brother Josh on the phone a lot.

So me and he the way we started kicking and getting getting together like that is we used to talk on the phone and trade chords with each other.

Yeah, we used to spill the court.

I mean, that's how

you

have to do

it.

So that's how me and he tapped in into the music, you know, so music has been around the whole time.

I didn't go to the arts because they didn't have no basketball team.

I really wanted to hook.

So

Why high school, you went to?

I went to Marshall, then I went to Hamilton.

OK.

OK.

As long as it's not tech.

I

was just

saying, I'm a wildcat and a pioneer.

We didn't take it there,

but we're going to take it there.

Go ahead, go ahead.

So I was always around the arts, up at the school, because both of my brothers went there.

So I was always around.

the dopest or the dopest musicians, you know, like DC, Sean Hinton, you know, them guys, Micahs.

I was always around some of the coldest guys in the city that was doing the music, so I had no choice but to tap all the way in

with that.

So, E2, tell me about your upbringing, man.

How are you?

Man, it's kind of the same.

It's kind of the same as Wavy's, man.

You know, I'm a PK kid as well.

I really got my, you know...

my street smarts from 51st and center.

Shout out to everybody over there.

Uptown?

But you know, I'm from Milwaukee.

Uh, man.

Played the piano in the church, played the drums.

Uh, the same, the same, pretty much same type of story.

Um, I always knew though, if I was gonna make it, you know, in the music business, I had to leave Milwaukee because it wasn't a market here, you know, for music.

So, um,

Yeah, that's, I don't, I don't, and I'm gonna say this, cause you know, I don't really like talking about myself.

You know what I'm saying?

I really like putting everybody else on and putting the spotlight on everybody else, but, but you know, as far as me, I would say, you know, I'm, I'm one of the top producers to come out to city.

I need you

to say that again, but I need you to say it like you know

it.

We're not

being humbled around here.

You know, I'm gonna say I'm one of the best, you know what I mean, to come out to city, man.

We did a lot of hip records.

Shout out to Rico Love.

Shout out

Rico.

Shout out Chad.

Man, where would I be without C-Nope?

Yes,

indeed.

He gonna be up here

next week.

Shout out to Chad.

Yeah, shout out C-Node, shout out my business partner Earl.

You know, I couldn't have did it without E-Hood.

He's staying Denver now with his pops.

But yeah, you know that

was... Let us know some of the records y'all

produced.

We did Boyfriend number two.

Shout out Pleasure Pee here.

Be here July 17th for Wavey Boy's Red and White Party celebrating his 40th.

Boyfriend number two, we did a man.

You taking me back now Ball Tia and Lil Wayne.

We did four year Melanie Fiona.

Audio by Romeo Santos and Drake.

That was my first Drake placement.

Man, we did a lot of them.

I can't even think of Nicki Minaj and French Montana.

I actually wrote.

I ain't worried about nothing about French Montana.

Shout out to French, man.

But yeah, we had a lot of success, man.

We had a lot of success.

And now, you know, we working on MJ.

You know what I mean?

It's our artist that we bought here.

You know what I

mean?

We're getting to that, you know?

But we've been lacing him up, man, with no skips, man.

I'm talking about straight play.

This project gonna be one for the books, man.

And it's one of the projects I'm most excited about because it's the most creative control I've ever had.

Yeah.

Without happening.

You know what I mean?

Listen to an A&R or a CEO or you know what I mean?

Something like that.

So, so yeah, you know.

So, uh, wait, what what excites you about building this with E2?

Hold on one second.

MJ.

I

was just waiting my turn.

You know what I

mean?

So, uh, I'm MJ.

I'm here.

I'm from the city.

I'm MJ.

I'm from the city here from Milwaukee, Wisconsin.

I left very young, you know, as soon as I graduated, I got up out of here doing the same thing as E. Persu.

My

music career had a deal at 15 years old, so

I left

the city and pursued that and been on a journey ever since.

You know, we all, I grew

up, you know, me

and Duh, you know,

we grew up

together, you know, since we was kids, marching, marching and stepping together since we was in elementary school, middle school, you know, me and E, we met.

through Rico Love.

That's how

we tapped in with each other.

So this has been over a decade and, you know,

double digits, you

know, even with Wave.

So, you know, us all coming back together and doing music and getting out here and really creating something and being passionate about what we're doing.

You know, we're really having a good time.

We're having fun because there's a lot of memories.

How does it feel to be back

home?

Man, all my family's

at home.

I love coming

home.

I stayed away for a long time and didn't come back to the city.

You know, when you chase your dreams and, you know, I felt like it wasn't nothing here in the city for me.

And I'm not even gonna lie, I'm gonna be a little bit transparent.

I kind

of got lost, you know

what I'm saying?

Being out there, being lost as far as you forget that family is the most important thing to you.

So when I was out there chasing my dreams, I felt like I couldn't come back to the city until...

I accomplished the things that

I wanted

to accomplish.

Well, what was the purpose of coming back?

Yeah.

But you

know, through your ups and downs, you forget and you stay away.

And, you know, I'm just at the point in my life and at my age is just like, you know, family is everything.

And my brothers and my family is pushing me through and really getting me to the next level where I want to

be.

Absolutely.

Well, welcome back home.

Mech.

Yeah.

So for all y'all, what excites y'all working together on this project?

So what's dope

is.

What's crazy like I mj just said I've been on mj since we was young you know I'm saying and When they left I was the only one still here.

Yeah, you know I said so I was grinding watching them like go crazy Yeah, feel me so it put a battery in my back like yo, I gotta go even harder You know I'm saying cuz I wouldn't I couldn't get up out of here like that You know I'm saying like they was fortunate to leave I couldn't go like that.

You know I'm saying so I had to stay

family, build the church, do all that type

of stuff.

So

I had to be here.

So what's so dope about us working now is we are all into our self now.

We know what we bring to the table as a crew.

You know what I'm saying?

Like, there's no yes, man, in this circle.

If it's trash, it's trash.

Go to the next joint and he don't send me an E. If y'all know, people don't send me an E.

We do a lot of going back

and forth

because we don't yes each other.

If it's weak, it's weak, bro.

Like go to the next joint, like, or let's figure out

how we

gonna make

this

week tight, you know what I'm saying?

So that's the dopest part about working with these bros right here, you know what I'm saying?

Because I seen where they came from and they seen where I come from, you know what I'm saying?

So that's what make it dope to me.

Absolutely.

We gotta go to break the pace and bills.

Do not touch that dial.

People was popping up.

Yeah, this is what you want to put together when you do your 40s.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Facts.

I'm jealous.

They

talked me out of doing

it on a smaller scale, because I was just going to do close friends and family.

You know, they was like, nah.

Nah, you wavy boy.

You got to do it big.

I mean, because.

Not for your 40s.

When is

the event?

When is it?

And where is it again?

July 17th.

That's

Friday.

July

17th.

How can people purchase tickets?

Oh, go to the RAV website and then get the tickets.

I wish they would have.

to put tickets in my

hand, because I wouldn't have been out here going crazy.

We probably end up having like 200 tickets for physical sales, but...

Y'all got to get us something up here at the station.

No, most definitely.

Most definitely.

For the

artists that's listening, I got like five slots that I'm going to do.

Okay, Jazz.

So, first

of all, I don't

do that.

If you want to open up, if you want to be a part of the

show, we're the button at Zach.

You got to go.

What is it?

What is it called?

E2.

E2

live right now.

By the way, boy, underscore

B. On Instagram.

Send me your

music, man.

We will vet the music out.

And if y'all make the cut, y'all be opening up.

So it's free slots in a sense?

Not free.

But, you know, once we go through listening to the music and see.

It's gonna be a lot of people in the

building.

We want to

make

it a good

impression.

That's what we want to do.

Is there a specific type of genre that can, or anybody

can?

Anybody.

Anybody.

I

got R&B, I got country, I got trap, you know what I'm saying?

Southern soul.

Southern soul.

Southern soul.

All that.

Jazz.

Jazz.

I'm not talking about

it.

You already

said

it.

Yeah.

Y'all, she got her first verse.

Her first verse coming.

She didn't drop the jet on the air.

We finna do it live on the air.

Don't let him gas you all up.

He

lying.

He lying.

So coming from Milwaukee, I am a former artist.

Coming from Milwaukee, we know that this city is difficult for creatives.

It's not necessarily for us.

So what is it about the city that makes you want to come back important to the creatives?

For me, it's the talent.

It's a lot of talent here, man.

Absolutely.

It's a lot of untapped talent with no hub.

That's what, essentially, we want to be.

We

want to be the hub where people can comment, man, if we could just get over there.

If we could just get over

there.

You never know.

Man, I discovered some amazing artists, and I've tried to get at least three or four artists signed.

Man, tell me

about

it.

It's one of

mine.

Man, bro, you lead them to the door.

Not ready.

They not ready.

They start dodging your calls.

It's

like, man,

all this music and stuff we worked on kind of go to waste.

But it's definitely the talent here for me.

I said I would never come back here.

A couple of other guys we working with said they'll never come back here.

So the fact that I'm here, I know it's like divine intervention.

You know what I mean?

That is some type of destiny that's supposed to happen here.

So I'm just being open to that.

And we came up on MJ.

You know what I mean?

And a couple of other artists, you know, and a couple of other business deals.

It's been, it's been great since I've been back.

I can't say, you know, being in Milwaukee is bad.

I love the city.

You know, if it could be like this, weather wise, or you're

around, I would

absolutely love it.

But, but, um, yes, it's a lot of untapped potential here.

And it's a lot of artists and talent here that just need to be heard.

I

just want to tap on that.

I think a lot of people from Milwaukee don't understand that you really can make it in the business, even for myself, like me leaving and getting the music deal.

touring with Romeo Santos for years, one of the biggest Latin artists that's been working and being signed to Rico Love.

You know, now being currently on Love in Hip Hop Miami, you know what I'm saying?

Like

doing all this work that I've done.

Like I've done a lot of things,

you know what

I'm saying?

It hasn't been easy,

but

I've done it.

You can make it.

Sometimes you just need the right person to push you in the right direction and tell you what it is you need to do.

So you can use your gift.

That's a fact.

And Milwaukee got a lot of talent.

We do,

we do.

And you know, I feel like compared to when I used to run in a like 2010, 2011, then compared to now, as far as that industry and this industry, the city is better.

They've built more.

They're more youthful.

They're serving two creatives a little bit better.

But I feel like we are still a little bit behind.

And I think the reason is because of exactly what you said.

When you leave, you don't want to come back.

You don't want to come back primarily because the people at the crib never supports you first.

And it makes it difficult.

So congrats to y'all and big ups to y'all for even coming back

and

rockin.

Because a lot of people don't.

I didn't came back plenty times.

This might

be my life.

I'm back.

I'm

back.

I'm back.

I'm back.

I'm

I'm

And I think that when people see that, okay, there's somebody that's really out there that's repping the city.

Oh, he came from my city, and he's doing that.

He look like that.

He's

doing that.

You know, it's really gonna open their eyes, you know.

And the talent.

I got talent just like they got talent.

You

know, and I'm really pursuing my dream and doing what I love to do, so, you know.

I think that's what they need to see.

They need somebody in a physical form

right here in

the city, coming to the city, tapping in.

Come on, now,

didn't we just

talk about this last week?

Yeah.

That there is nobody who is physically in an industry that's still here.

Right.

And those who are, they're not really here,

you

know?

Yeah.

Yeah, we chasing the chip.

Yeah, we chasing Cuckoo Cow's chip.

That was the debate.

Yeah.

My family is here in the city.

Everybody know my family.

We can take it to far back to Red Snappers.

Pits funeral home, you know what I mean?

We all here.

Y'all seen me a record.

Tell

us about this album.

That's his first single, man.

The first single.

So he putting out kind of like a double album project.

The first title of the first project is R&P.

That's

the

R&B.

And then the second side is gonna be Southern Soul.

We haven't came up with the title yet, but...

Overall, I'm looking towards the program, but... The program?

Yeah, yeah.

You know, but this is the option.

Alright, he just dropped it then.

It's the program.

It's the program.

Let's drop it.

Ain't nothing bigger than the program.

Bigger than

the program.

You gotta stop thinking small.

You gotta think big.

So what y'all think

about releasing?

So we doing a listening party on the 18th at Brownstone.

So y'all got the red and white party?

No, no, no.

E2, stay tuned.

Do not touch that dial.

We got to go to break and pay some bills.

One on 1.7 in

truth.

One

on 1.7 in truth.

It's your girl Jazz Tyler Digi.

Meet you out live and direct.

Third Street Market Hall in the beautiful downtown Milwaukee.

We got MJ in the building.

What's happening?

Y'all just heard shoes under the bed.

What you all think about

it?

I got a lot to say.

I'm trying

to

understand how she slept.

How did I don't understand?

She

wasn't paying attention.

She had too much fun.

Man, he blew her

out.

We want to talk about this on Friday.

This is what music is, though, being creative and talking about things that people don't normally talk about in a clever way.

Absolutely.

You know what I mean?

So I really love this song.

We really came up with

one.

So walk us through the process of how this song was created.

That's exactly what I said.

I was sitting in the studio and thinking about things that we've been through.

You know what I mean?

Everybody talking about different things and shout out to CID.

CID

55.

CID 55, you know what I mean?

CID 55, you know what I mean?

He came up with the concept.

He's been through some things.

You already know.

Shout out to CID, man.

So he was like, let's make, let's do a song about shoes under the bed and came up with this concept and actually knocked it out and killed it.

You

know what I mean?

Or

maybe I had an eight and he had the

13.

This

record is incredible.

This record is real R&B.

It's grown people music and it doesn't sound like anything that's out.

Definitely.

That's what's most exciting.

And

it doesn't sound like, you know, you wouldn't typically place a song like this or a reference it to a Milwaukee, someone who's born from Milwaukee.

So, yeah, it's, listen, how can I download it?

Huh?

Is it out?

It's

not.

Shoes under the

bed.

It's not out.

That was an

exclusive.

I was

an exclusive

right now.

You know we

get

all the

exclusive

right here on

Tap There.

Yeah, I

know.

We got a true

job special.

So

if you show up to the listening party on the 18th,

on the 18th at

Brownstone June 18th, you're gonna listen to all the exclusive music that hasn't been released yet.

So we're gonna really have a treat for y'all if y'all show up and it's free.

So why not show up?

Pull up.

What time?

We really want the

people to pick the

single.

Got

you.

You know what I mean?

So that's why we ain't put no music out yet and did nothing.

Because we want the people to tell us what to do.

Is it APU?

And that

makes sense.

Doors open up at 7.

Doors

open

up

at

7.

That makes sense.

I don't know if

we should put up.

They should have brought some more music so we could have the people.

Yeah.

Pick it.

I'm ready.

I'm coming.

I'm coming.

I'm coming.

I'm

coming.

I'm coming.

I'm coming.

I'm coming.

I'm coming.

I'm coming.

I'm coming.

I'm coming.

I'm coming.

I'm coming.

I'm coming.

I'm coming.

I'm coming.

I'm

coming.

I'm coming.

I'm coming.

What you think is the best that you put out?

I mean, y'all, I put it into the studio right now.

With the best?

The one that y'all like.

Okay,

hold on.

You got your favorite, but you don't want

to.

It's hard, though, because it changed every day for us.

See, he listened to the music more than all of us.

He wrote.

Y'all be listening to the music.

I got to study what's wrong.

Hold on, right there.

Could have been better.

I do it different

because I...

I'll wait a week or two and come back and see if I got the same feel.

If anything, off then that's what I'ma change.

Yeah, I'm moving on to the next song.

He's still on the last song.

Like, oh, we can do this, we can do that.

He's trying to make it perfect.

I

love

you for it,

though.

That sound good, man.

Yes, indeed.

So this next record, we gonna switch it up a little bit.

You know, from Shoes Under the Bed, we going to, what we gonna

play?

We gonna play Pretty Woman.

Pretty Woman.

So we still on the Southern Soul.

You're going to be able to dance a little bit to this one.

All right,

let's get it.

So what's going to be the difference between what's the difference between the Southern Soul and the

R&P?

R&P, you're going to be talking that talk.

I'm going

to be talking

that R&P.

Southern Soul is more storytelling.

R&P.

And it's definitely more, a lot more R&B, urban R&B as far as the R&P.

So Southern Soul was more storytelling, more soulful.

That's fire.

I

think the story

is kind of resembles like what you've been

through.

I've been through something like that and she might have left her lashes instead of leaving some shoes.

Left

her eyelashes on the side of the bed.

They're going to leave something to get you caught up.

Y'all be doing it.

Y'all know what y'all be

doing.

I don't know

who y'all is.

I'm leaving with everything I play with.

That's been a night bag.

Just waiting on Zach to load it up real quick.

Yes,

sir.

Like we said, y'all got any other shout outs y'all want to give up right now?

Oh, my sister Shay, Shay Johnson.

Shout out to Shay.

Shout out to her.

Shout out to my listening party, Shay.

Love you, hip hop.

You know, Flavor of Love, y'all know all the shows.

Yes, indeed.

She'll be in town, represent for the City of Lemons, since she support me, everything I

do.

Absolutely.

So I can't wait until she gets it.

That's fire.

Yeah, I gotta shout out Cersei, man.

Shout out Cersei.

Cersei, crowd all over the world.

All her big names.

Yeah, man.

I gotta shout to the people who put me on and, you know, allowed me to create, you know, financial abundance for my family right now.

See, no.

Cersei, shout out Rico Love.

He doing a listening party on...

At

favorites.

Yeah, that's the day party.

So it's gonna be a day party at favorites, and then he doing a listening party somewhere, I think... Cigar Lounge.

Cigar Lounge, yeah.

Above City Social.

I think on the 14th.

Shout out to

his album, dropping on the 26th.

I'm glad, you know, my brother got back in the studio.

and got back focused, you know what

I mean?

Mental

health is everything, man, you know what I

mean?

And his

pen game, nasty.

Yeah, one of the dopest songwriters of our time.

Like I say that, hands down.

And what's his album called again?

It's called,

uh...

Ooh!

Bad Boy.

97, 97 Bad Boy.

97

Bad

Boy.

I was in the studio when he wrote, There Goes My Baby for Usher, Motivation for Kelly Rowland.

and heart attack for Trey songs all in the same session.

So I just, you know, it just expanded my mind, you know, to true craftsmanship of a song, you know, I learned.

So I always call it division one, my industry boot camp.

You

know what I mean?

Like I seen, man, Big John.

So many executives came.

Everybody came to see us.

You

know what I mean?

Big John, Will Smith, Jamie Foxx, Brandy.

They all

came

to support me.

They all came.

That's fine.

Shout out to Rico,

Big up.

I

remember it in her.

I was on Kool-Aid's label.

You

know, I went to high school at the arts.

So I was in class with Lala.

We went

to we had a

show at the Miramar theater.

I think it was about 17.

And Rico was judging.

And then he hit me on my space like a year later.

It was

like, come

on to the A. He was like, but why are you cussing and talking

about that?

And I was

like, I'm from Forty-Thin,

Berla.
