The tiny differences between the musician that gets super emotional and irritated quickly and the other musician that just understands the way in which you should carry yourself in a room — can be the very thing that makes or breaks your entire gig.

Mediation, and a lot of books. I started tapping into more outlets like that, where now I know I really have the power to get anything I want. We just believe in training them right. I always had intentions of going to school, and everything I learned, I wrote down. But now because I did this, I actually ended up with more money. This is all of our real-life curriculum. We were ready. How is he at leading a bunch of live musicians? Snoop is like my uncle, man.

Graduated from high school, [right into] six world tours with Snoop. Snoop helped jump my career off. So you better know that shit, you know what I mean?

That was maybe I got my first platinum plaque with Bobby Valentino in I started off with Snoop, so he helped a lot.

They helped us out a lot. A lot of producers call themselves producers, which is cool. We know sounds that make people cry. We know what chords make people happy.

We just figured out the formulas to this. Being able to work with all these major artists, for them to be able to see how talented we are and rep for us helped a lot.

You were involved in the couple of songs people have heard so far. What can you tell us about Man of the Woods? How involved are you in the album beyond those two tracks?

We were working on the album for months. I am beyond excited about this. It was a great process. Justin is one of the most talented people I know. Timbaland is a big brother of mine, Timbaland and Danja. We worked on both of those songs together and it was just a vibe, bro.

Are you going to be part of his upcoming live stuff for the Super Bowl or any tours he has planned? To be totally honest, this Jay Z tour was the end of my touring for a while now, because I have the school, all these records out, and touring really slows my life down.

We got one of the most expensive jewelry stores in Newport Beach, got a clothing line. I gotta make sure all these companies are up and running before I can just go on tour and leave again.
