ELECTION EVE. A LOT OF PEOPLE
ARE REALIZING OVER THE COURSE
THE LAST FEW YEARS YOU'VE
COLLABORATE WITH A LOT OF BIG
MUSIC STARS LIKE GUCCI MANE
BACK IN 2017. SO I THINK
THE QUESTION IT IS OUT THERE
RIGHT YOU HAD THIS OUTSTANDING
CAREER ON THE COURT YOU'RE
JERSEYS RETIRED THEIR MIND AND
THE 11 ALL-STAR APPEARANCES,
I'M NOT MISTAKEN. WHAT MADE YOU
WANT TO GET INTO MUSIC WHEN ALL
IS SAID AND DONE.
>> WELL, I MEAN IT'S KIND OF
ONE OF THOSE ONE OF THE HARDEST
THINGS THAT I FOUND OUT WAS
CAN KIND OF CAME OUT OF NOWHERE
WAS THAT.
>> YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE TO FIND
SOMETHING ELSE THAT YOU LOVE
FOR SO LONG I HAD GIVEN MY LIFE
TO BASKETBALL AND
AND THAT'S ALL I DID AND GRANT
I DID HAVE SOME
OTHER HOBBIES ANOTHER
INTERESTING THINGS LIKE THAT,
BUT. I HAD TO
FIGURE OUT.
>> WHAT IT IS THAT I WAS GOING
TO DO
MY CAREER.
>> NOT THAT I WAS SAYING THAT I
BELIEVE IS BIG NEWS PRODUCER.
I JUST STARTED.
FOLLOWING MY HEART AND ONCE
THAT STARTED HAPPENING I HAD A
CUT ON MY HAND. NEXT THING YOU
KNOW I'M ON THE COMPUTER
PRINTER TRYING
TO DO THE DUSON PUT THESE
TOGETHER NEXT THING YOU KNOW
RICO LOVE NEXT THING YOU KNOW,
YOU KNOW CONFUSE ACTUALLY CUT
THE RECORD IN.
AND I HAVE A SINGLE THAT I'VE
BEEN A PART OF AND THAT
WAS LIKE I FIRST KIND OF FORAY
INTO THE INTO THE AREA AND SO
IT WAS VERY INTERESTING, I MEAN
IT WAS KIND
OF LIKE WE'RE WITH THE SONG
WOULD YOU SHE WOULD THAT HAPPEN
NOT TO GO ANOTHER INTEREST I
WOULD HAVE BEEN A FOOL NOT TO
PURSUE.
>> MUSIC PRODUCING IF IF I HAD
ANY SENSE NOT THE TIME IT JUST
KIND OF HAPPENED SO RIGHT IN
THE PLACE I GUESS YOU COULD
CALL IT
BEGINNER'S LUCK THAT THEY GOT
ME ON A PATH TOWARD.
>> YEAH CONGRATULATIONS ON THAT
I THINK A LOT OF NBA FANS THEY
LOOK AT PEOPLE ON SHEPHERD
DAMIAN LILLARD I MEAN THERE'S
BEEN SO MANY BIG NAMES WHO GET
INTO
MUSIC CHRIS. IF EITHER
THEMSELVES AS THE EMCEES OR
PERHAPS MORE IN YOUR CASE IS
THE PRODUCER TALKING ABOUT THAT
LINK
RIGHT BECAUSE IMPACT ICE CUBE
OF HER LITTLE WAYNE FAMOUSLY
SAY ATHLETE WANNABE RAPPERS
RAPPERS WANT TO
BE ATHLETES WHAT IS IT ABOUT
THE PSYCHE OF EITHER YOU KNOW
TOUGH COME HEADERS LIKE
YOURSELF AND CHAMPIONS ON
THE COURT WHO ALSO RECOGNIZE
SOMETHING VERY ASPIRATION OR
SOMETHING PERSONALLY DRIVEN IN
MUSIC.
>> WELL, I MEAN I HAVE TO SAY
YOU KNOW FIRST AND FOREMOST
KOBE IT HAS BEEN AND ALWAYS
WILL BE MY ASPIRATION. UNTIL
THE STORY ALL THE TIME. HE TOLD
ME HOW HE WAS GOING TO WIN I
ASKED HER I DIDN'T BELIEVE HIM
AND THEN HE WON. BUT HE HAD
A PLAN. HE YOU KNOW
WE TALKED ABOUT HOW MUCH HE WAS
PUTTING INTO THIS CRASH.
DAY
AFTER DAY. AND HOW HE
TRANSLATED IS LOVE OR HIS
PASSION AND HIS DRIVE FOR
BASKETBALL INTO HIS OTHER
PASSION WHICH WAS RIGHT.
AT THE TIME AND TO WATCH HIM BE
SUCCESSFUL
JUST GOING.
>> FOR THAT MADE ME REALLY
REALIZE THERE'S NO.
>> EXCUSES I HAD TO
GET OFF REALLY GET ON A HORSE
NOT THAT I WASN'T ON THE
BRIDGES.
YOU KNOW REALLY BELIEVE IN
MYSELF BELIEVE IN
THE WORK THAT I PUT IN THE WORK
THAT I WILL PUT
IN SO IT JUST MADE ME YOU KNOW
REALLY HUNGRY TO TO REALLY GO
OUT THERE.
>> IN REDEFINING.
>> TRANSFORMERS SO AND YOU KNOW
I THINK WITH
>> ARTIST IN BALLPLAYER
DYNAMIC.
>> TO BE HONEST WITH YOU IT'S
NOT MANY AT LEAST WHEN I WAS
GROWING UP YOU BIRD.
>> WITH
THE PRESIDENT, A BLACK
PRESIDENT WASN'T
EVEN POSSIBLE.
>> SO THE MOST SUCCESSFUL BLACK
MEN THAT WE SAW WERE IN
TO TIGERS. WE'RE ATHLETES
OR ARTIST.
>> YOU KNOW, AND I THINK A LOT
OF THAT WE DRIVE A FROM THAT
POOL AND AT THE
SAME TIME. YOU KNOW I HAVE SO
MANY FRIENDS THAT WERE AT A
NURSING IN SO WHATEVER AND THEY
WERE AT THE BASKETBALL GAMES.
YOU KNOW IT'S RIGHT THERE IS A
VERY PERSONABLE GAME.
>> YOU KNOW IT'S VERY SOCIAL,
YOU KNOW USUALLY I WOULD.
>> I HAVE FRIENDS I PLANNED
MY FRIEND WERE YOU KNOW WE HAVE
A MIX TAPE OR SOMETHING IN HIGH
SCHOOL HE BE IN THE STANDS WITH
ALL THE GIRLS THAT SOMETHING
LIKE THAT YOU KNOW, I MEAN SO
IT'S ALWAYS BEEN THAT DYNAMIC
BACK AND FORTH. WITH
ENTERTAINERS AND DOLLARS.
>> YOU MENTION THE
LATE GREAT THE LEGEND KOBE
BRYANT OF COURSE WHO WE ALL
LOST EARLIER
THIS YEAR. YOU GOT A SONG IT'S
CALLED I WANT IT ALL KIND OF
DEDICATED TO
BRIAN HERE. CHRIS LEA YOU WANT
TO TALK TO US A BIT ABOUT THE
PERSONAL RELATIONSHIP. I THINK
SOME OF THE MOST POWERFUL
TESTIMONIALS HAVE COME FROM
GUYS WITH THEIR PLAYED WITH
KOBE ON THE COURT WHO COMPETED
AGAINST KOBE ON THE COURT WHAT
DID THAT MENTALITY THAT HE
BROUGHT MEAN TO YOU AND WHAT
YOU MEAN TO YOU PERSONALLY IF
YOU DON'T MIND
ME ASKING.
>> NO FUN, I MEAN YOU KNOW IT
WAS IT WAS JUST BEING ABLE TO
TO KNOWN THE WITH SOME WINNING
GOLD MEDAL C.
>> HOW HE WORK I MEAN YOU THE
BEST PLAYER IN
THE WORLD. WE JUST WANTED TO
GET JUST A PIECE OF THEM JUST
TO SEE WHAT HE COULD DO IT WAS
SO MUCH FUN HAVING HIM. 19 BUT
AS FAR
AS JUST A PERSON TO MODEL
YOURSELF AFTER HE WAS ONE OF
THOSE GUYS TO ME HE WAS GOING
TO THE SO
THE VILLAGE. THE ITALIAN PART
OF THE VILLAGE BACK IN THE
OLYMPICS TO GO SPEAK BATTALION
TO THE ITALIANS.
>> AND YOU KNOW
>> SO WATCH HIM DO SO MANY
THINGS AND DOING GREAT.
MY THING WAS TRYING TO FIGURE
OUT TRYING TO NAVIGATE THE
WATERS AFTER
A TIME. YOU KNOW BECAUSE I FEEL
BEST THAT WAS ALWAYS THE EASY
THING RIGHT. IT WAS HARD AN
EASY AT THE SAME TIME. WE
HAD TO PUSH YOURSELF TO THE
LIMIT PLAYING
BASKETBALL BUT WORKING ON OUR
GAME WE KNEW THAT WE WERE THE
BEST AT WHAT WE DID IN AND EVEN
IF WE'RE
KILLING OURSELVES AND YOU
KNOW GRINDING IT DAY TO DAY IS
STILL MAKE SENSE. THIS WAS THE
WORLD THAT THEY ARE AND
YOU KNOW THAT'S YOU KNOW WE
TALKED ABOUT FOR THE LAST
COUPLE YEARS BECAUSE PEOPLE CAN
PLAN ANYMORE.
I MEAN WE WOULD GET
TOGETHER WITH THE WISE AND
ASKED
THEM DINNER, WE WOULD REALLY
JUST TALK ABOUT WHAT'S NEXT AND
WHAT'S HAPPENING AND WHAT HE
WAS DOING AND I MEAN THEY
WROTE. NUMEROUS AMOUNTS OF
BOOKS IN HIS OFFER SHIP WAS IN
CREDIBLE AND HE WAS PUTTING OUT
THE
WIZNER SERIES AND PUTTING OUT
ALL KINDS OF BOOKS AND HE HAD
ALL THESE
GRAND PLANS. I'M SURE THEY'RE
GOING TO CONTINUE TO GROW BUT
THAT WAS THE MAGIC YOU KNOW
BEING ABLE TO TALK
TO KOBE ABOUT THINGS OTHER
THAN BASKETBALL BE ABLE TO TALK
ABOUT FILM AND ART AND WRITING
THAT NOW THOSE ARE MY MOST
CHERISHED RIGHTS.
>> YEAH, THANKS FOR WALKING US
THROUGH THAT THANKS FOR LEMON
ASKED THAT QUESTION FINALLY
HERE CHRIS I CAN'T HELP BUT
NOTICE, YOU'RE WEARING A HOODIE
THAT SAYS I AM A VOTER
POLITICAL ACTIVISM RIGHT NOW IS
TAKING ON A VASTLY DIFFERENT
TONE AND TENOR HEARING 2024 FOR
GUYS WHO ARE STILL IN
THE NBA, IT'S ACTUALLY EVEN
BEEN A PART OF YOUR MUSIC LIKE
IN THE CLIP WE PLAYED COMING
IN. WHAT DOES THIS MOMENT MEAN
FOR YOU WHAT DO YOU WANT VOTE.
TO TAKE AWAY AND WIRES IS PART
OF WHAT YOU'RE PRIORITIZING
RIGHT NOW THE IMPORTANCE OF
THIS POLITICAL MOMENT.
>> WELL, I MEAN IT'S A HUGE
POLITICAL MOMENT FOR VARIOUS
DIFFERENT REASONS IS JUST A
POLARIZING ELECTION. FOR FOR
MANY
DIFFERENT REASONS.
>> I THINK THE MOST IMPORTANT
MESSAGE TO
SEND OUT IS IS REALLY MY
FAVORITE BE AN AMERICAN
CITIZEN. WE ARE ALL LIVING IN
AMERICA. IT KIND
OF HURTS. TO TALK TO PEOPLE
THAT FEEL THAT THEIR VOTE
DOESN'T MATTER. AND THEN WE
HAVE THE EXPERIENCE OF TALKING
TO FAMILY MEMBERS AND FRIENDS
OR FAMILY MEMBER
SAYING THAT YOU KNOW WE MARCHED
IN CIVIL RIGHTS AND BLED AND
SLEPT IN THE MUD AND
THE RAIN.
>> AND SOME PEOPLE EVEN LOSING
THEIR LIVES AND NOBODY'S EVEN
ENACTING THIS
CIVIL RIGHT AND THAT'S A CIVIL
RIGHT. LET'S HAVE A SITUATION
WHERE EVERYBODY FEELS THAT
THEIR
VOICES HEARD.
>> THE RACE IS THE RACE ALL I
CARE ABOUT THESE PEOPLE GETTING
OUT THERE AND DOING A JOB AS A
CITIZEN AND NOT ONLY MEN NOW
CONTINUING
THAT JOB.
>> THROUGHOUT THE REALLY OF OUR
LIVES YOU KNOW LOOK I'M NOT
JUST PAYING DOZENS OF
THE PRESIDENTIAL.
>> ELECTION I WANT PEOPLE TO
PAY ATTENTION TO THE
>> ACTIONS. THE HOUSE OF
REPRESENTATIVES THE SENATE.
>> COURT APPOINTED
A JUDGE. THAT WILL BE PRESIDING
OVER YOUR COMMUNITY SHERIFF.
THE REAL RULE, PEOPLE
YOU KNOW.
>> ALL THERE'S SO MANY
DIFFERENT THINGS IN FAST IS
THAT WE HAVE TO EDUCATE OR SO
ON.
>> EVEN MYSELF I'VE TRYING TO
MAKE A
EFFORTS EDUCATE MYSELF ON A
COMMUNITY AND START THERE AND
GET SOME I ASKED THAT THERE'S
NO DIALOGUE AND FOR OBVIOUS
REASONS BUT.
>> WE AT THE END OF THE DAY
WE'RE ALL
