What is good, Everybody? I am DJ Whippopatomus and you are listening to WKNC 88.1 FM HD1 Raleigh. We are a student run nonprofit radio station based out of North Carolina State University. Here with me today is Godric, who recently dropped their album Hater. What's good with you? How you doing?
00:25
Godric
I'm good, bro. I'm hanging in there of the year. Just had a birthday.
00:29
DJ Whippopatomus
Feel good. I hear that.
00:32
Godric
Thanks for having me, bro. Yeah.
00:33
DJ Whippopatomus
I was about to say it was your birthday recently. Happy birthday.
00:35
Godric
Thank you.
00:36
DJ Whippopatomus
Yeah. How. How was your birthday?
00:37
Godric
It was good. We. I celebrated the whole week. It was the first time I celebrated the whole time for the whole week. And that's new for me. But I lot like. I pretty much probably like everybody else. I lost like two birthdays. Yeah. So I just didn't want this one.
00:54
DJ Whippopatomus
To be like, you had to make up for all the other ones.
00:57
Godric
This is gonna start to be a crazy pattern. So I did as, you know, safely, little as I could and still had a good time.
01:03
DJ Whippopatomus
Yeah.
01:04
Godric
That's celebrated all week. And it was cool and I liked it.
01:07
DJ Whippopatomus
I feel you.
01:08
Godric
And it felt a little bit back to kind of like how it was before, even though I know stuff ain't gonna be like how it was before.
01:13
DJ Whippopatomus
Right, right.
01:14
Godric
It was. I was like, yes, we did it.
01:17
DJ Whippopatomus
Yeah. I feel you. With the one week celebration. I low key try to celebrate the whole month.
01:21
Godric
Yes. Oh, really? Have you ever done it? Have you ever.
01:23
DJ Whippopatomus
I mean, not like consecutively, like every day, but just like every day I wake up. Yeah, exactly.
01:30
Godric
When the month goes away. Feel different. Well, not.
01:33
DJ Whippopatomus
I think so.
01:33
Godric
Like. Oh, I can't. Like.
01:35
DJ Whippopatomus
Yeah. Yeah. I mean, I just. It just gives me more of an excuse to turn up, honestly.
01:39
Godric
Thank you. Thank you. We're on the same page.
01:41
DJ Whippopatomus
Y. Yeah. All right. So, yeah. You want to introduce yourself, let people know where you're from, what you do?
01:48
Godric
Yeah. I'm Godric. I'm from Kingston, North Carolina. It's a little. I call it a Sandpiper town because it's like everybody passes through it to get to Sandpiper. So other towns. So small town, city, country boy. Moved to Raleigh maybe in like 20, 18, 17. Okay. To start art career, you know, music career.
02:14
DJ Whippopatomus
Oh, yeah.
02:15
Godric
Writing and so been out here doing that ever since, man. And getting it going.
02:21
DJ Whippopatomus
I love how you described yourself as a city and country boy. That's really unique.
02:26
Godric
That's just like the fusion is. I love that whole thing.
02:28
DJ Whippopatomus
Yeah.
02:29
Godric
It makes sense because even when I Was there in the country and had never been to the city.
02:33
DJ Whippopatomus
Right.
02:33
Godric
I just had that kind of like that whip kind of just like. It was just. I wasn't. I wasn't slow in the country way. I was kind of open in that sense. I guess I'll say. So. That's what made me like city. I was open to stuff. The country's pretty much what it is. But I like that sensibility, too. So getting to the city, I used to.
02:59
DJ Whippopatomus
I love to see the representation of both for real. I feel like that can move a lot, honestly. Yeah, exactly. Exactly. So how long have you been making music?
03:18
Godric
Sorry. Yeah. Is that good? Yeah. All right. 20, I think about 2017. Me and my brother, my man, Legendland, back home. We were high school buddies, grew up together, and. And he. We. He had a place there. I had moved back and I had wanted to figure out what I wanted to do with my life. And were getting older, and at that time were like 23. Okay. So we thought that was like, were gonna be done. And now I'm 28. I'm like, what?
03:56
DJ Whippopatomus
Right.
03:56
Godric
Whatever. But I feel you. Yeah. But he just was. This was my buddy. He was like family to me. And we had aspirations, you know, to make it out or just do more. And we knew we loved music and we understood art and culture, and we had opinions about it enough that we felt like we could, like, have something to offer. And so, you know, we just kind of dug in. And like, that was the foundation of. Of me starting, like, musically kind of pursuing. I had. Did like a photography, like, phase. Yeah.
04:30
DJ Whippopatomus
You mentioned other art too.
04:32
Godric
Yeah. And I had. I did that. And I didn't like being behind the camera because I'm the camera. And I would be taking photos of people that didn't know what to do.
04:40
DJ Whippopatomus
Yeah.
04:41
Godric
And I was like, I literally know what did I want to see in a sense. So I was like, let me just trade places.
04:47
DJ Whippopatomus
Right? I love it. I love it.
04:50
Godric
Yeah. And so I trade places. And I love that too, in that element. But as far as expression, I just have so many thoughts and, like, feelings all the time. And the world is so big and changing all the time. Just always felt that way.
05:07
DJ Whippopatomus
Yeah.
05:07
Godric
I was happy to find an outlet that I knew it was always going to be art centered or just, you know, creative in nature. But this is. Music is more akin to my personality as of where I am in my life right now, just as far as energy and, like, what it can do and how it's helped I like those properties, and I want to have something to do with it. And also seeing somebody like me, obviously, in that space, I still feel like is new and just kind of happening. So I feel like I'm in the right place, right time, but that's new even too.
05:40
DJ Whippopatomus
Right.
05:40
Godric
So. And that didn't. It's. That was a. Like a. That was a something for me to Even kind of a challenge early on when I wanted to do music. I didn't know if there would be space for somebody like me. So now that. That's changing because, like.
05:53
DJ Whippopatomus
Yeah.
05:54
Godric
I feel like I'm just, like, making or helping it change.
05:56
DJ Whippopatomus
You feel like it's changing to my intention. You feel like the. The environment of hip hop is changing.
06:01
Godric
It's little by little. But, like, that's literally groundbreaking.
06:06
DJ Whippopatomus
Yeah.
06:07
Godric
No, it's not ever, like, happened.
06:09
DJ Whippopatomus
No doubt.
06:10
Godric
You know, and we know why and all this stuff. But it's still fascinating to watch and watch it evolve.
06:16
DJ Whippopatomus
Yeah.
06:16
Godric
You want to add to it because you just want your stuff to be heard.
06:19
DJ Whippopatomus
Exactly.
06:19
Godric
You don't want anything to stop that.
06:21
DJ Whippopatomus
Yeah, yeah. It's all about that representation, too.
06:23
Godric
Sure. It just is. Absolutely. I don't think I would have even had the gusto or the. Even the notion to think I could do it if people had not. Like, I hadn't seen that kind of coming up in culture and in music.
06:33
DJ Whippopatomus
Okay. What did you see coming up that kind of gave you that confidence?
06:36
Godric
Oh, my gosh. I had always. I wasn't particularly, like, in the boys crowd because I just. My voice never came in. Okay. I was always flimsy.
06:48
DJ Whippopatomus
Yeah.
06:49
Godric
Just fidgety and stuff. That was just out of bounds, you know, for, like, typical.
06:55
DJ Whippopatomus
Right.
06:56
Godric
Male behavior.
06:57
DJ Whippopatomus
Got a lovely voice, by the way.
06:58
Godric
Thank you so much. And so I would be around, so the girls would just take me in, you know what I'm saying? Because they were like, you know, you ain't you. You get us. And I just did. I was talkative, I had opinions, and I just would say it and da, da. So that I know, lent itself. My personality lent itself to what I would, like, start to, like when I loved music.
07:19
DJ Whippopatomus
Yeah.
07:19
Godric
And as far as inspirations, I just, like, I've always said I would say it if I ever got the chance publicly that, like, Nikki just was. I knew how rare it was being raised by a single black woman, what those challenges were, because my mom was young.
07:39
DJ Whippopatomus
Yeah. Okay.
07:40
Godric
And so she made these impossible things happen, and I had that kind of representation in my life. But Seeing something throughout history, when you're looking at music, seeing this person kind of that literally is a one of none kind of come in and break open so many things. So she was this black woman in an industry ran by, like, men, kind of set, like our own world, you know, saying in it. Yeah, that is crazy. And hip hop. I just always thought we was only going to get one kind of stereotype. So she was like a representation of that for me. Still is. And then y' all saw, like, Thug, you know, he scared me when I first saw him because I.
08:20
Godric
The only reason he scared me is because I thought he wasn't going to make it because of how people were like, wow. Perceiving himself.
08:26
DJ Whippopatomus
Yeah, yeah.
08:27
Godric
Happen, you know, to people who are. Okay a little. If to men who are even.
08:32
DJ Whippopatomus
Right.
08:33
Godric
A little bit different, you know. And so just to see those and how those stories have evolved.
08:39
DJ Whippopatomus
Yeah.
08:39
Godric
And all this stuff that's, like, fell out since. I think it's because of people pioneering music and challenging. Status quo. Yes. Like, what is a status quo? People and stuff like that. And I just love that spirit because.
08:49
DJ Whippopatomus
I think that's how I love that sound.
08:51
Godric
Yeah. You know, and it kind of breaks stuff free. Not just like, us or our minds. I think it says, gives art, you know, more room, you know, and, like, understanding more room. So just to be a part of what. What something can look like, on the surface. But it does so many things. And I think music, like any other art form, totally does, like, so many other things. And I kind of want to bring those to the front in a subtle kind of way.
09:19
DJ Whippopatomus
Right, right.
09:21
Godric
You know?
09:21
DJ Whippopatomus
Yeah, definitely.
09:22
Godric
Like, covert mission kind of. Okay.
09:24
DJ Whippopatomus
Yeah, yeah. So what's behind your name? Godric.
09:30
Godric
Oh, my gosh. Really? Yeah. So there was a show that I was really. When I first kind of. When I told you I got with my buddy in Legend Land back in. Back home in Kingston. We moved in together around, like, 2015, seven. I don't know, some around that time. And we. What we've always bonded over all of my friendships still to this day is like TV movies.
09:57
DJ Whippopatomus
Yeah.
09:58
Godric
Stuff. So, okay. There's this show called True Blood on hbo and, like, living in Kingston, it was like small and country, but it was just always so kind of like nuanced and bizarre and people were, like, highly characterized, really. And I wouldn't know how they were, but it made sense in a small town that people would have these huge kind of alien personalities in a way, because you get to create whatever you want out there because, like, nobody's really policing you. You don't have to be anything interesting. So this show came along that kind of incorporated all of that, and they had, like, vampires and, like, sheriffs and fairies. Wow.
10:40
DJ Whippopatomus
Okay. Like, I'm about to check that out.
10:42
Godric
Of, like, L.A. bonton. Like.
10:44
DJ Whippopatomus
Yeah.
10:44
Godric
And it just combined all these really realistic elements with fantasy. And that's what where I lived felt like, in a sense. Just kind of like.
10:54
DJ Whippopatomus
Yeah.
10:55
Godric
Or the experience that I had there was very contrary to what it was. It would look like on the surface that somebody would have in this. What kind of experience somebody would have there. And I was like, this show is so crazy. And one of the characters in it is name is Godric. And his arc. And it was. I was like, that's the. He was, like, the oldest living vampire ever. And he had made this arc where he was, like, human, then vampire, then lived forever, and then, like, did the whole, like, arc of evil. Evil. Evil. Because that was his nature now. And then he got it, brought it back to, like, that's still emptiness, too. And I get why people go. Because you. That's going on. It's not really an end.
11:36
Godric
But staying isn't in because it's just the same thing over and over. Yeah. I was like, wow, that's the journey that anybody can aspire to. Hopefully. Yeah. Like, go through the ringer of things and still kind of come back to the. That one thing that was, like, kind of always there.
11:53
DJ Whippopatomus
Right.
11:53
Godric
But we just didn't notice it until you went through everything.
11:55
DJ Whippopatomus
Yeah.
11:56
Godric
And I was like, I can identify.
11:58
DJ Whippopatomus
So that's.
11:59
Godric
And I wanted. And I just love also that story. I didn't want True Blood to ever be out of my timeline. I didn't want to be out of my nucleus. So it's always going to be with me. And I'm that way as an artist and as a person.
12:12
DJ Whippopatomus
Okay.
12:13
Godric
Like, I get attached to things because that's, like, I can attach meaning. And I believe that's what we always do. So I kind of intentionally do it. I don't. I wasn't. That wasn't my thinking back then. But now that I have more language and understand what that was, I went back and kind of traced back what that process was for me. And so I love that show, and it is foundational to me because I want to go on and do shows and films later on in my career. So it's going to be, like, a precedent for me. And so. And I always felt nervous about, like, should I. Should anybody Ever know that. But it's like, it's important that people know how you kind of, like, brick yourself to a place.
12:49
DJ Whippopatomus
Oh, yeah.
12:50
Godric
That's just important. That's what I always wondered. I was like, how did.
12:54
DJ Whippopatomus
Yeah.
12:55
Godric
And development is important. It might be the point about anybody's story that kind of goes on to do something, you know, so. And it's important. I still love that show so much. I literally do.
13:05
DJ Whippopatomus
Yo, I gotta check it out now.
13:06
Godric
You have to. Oh, my gosh. I cannot wait. All right.
13:11
DJ Whippopatomus
All right, I'm ready.
13:12
Godric
Can't wait to hear what you think. Think about it, too.
13:13
DJ Whippopatomus
For real. I'll hit you up.
13:14
Godric
Okay.
13:14
DJ Whippopatomus
I got you. So how would you describe your music?
13:18
Godric
My music? Oh, my goodness. Yeah.
13:21
DJ Whippopatomus
How would you describe the sound? I know.
13:25
Godric
You know what?
13:25
DJ Whippopatomus
It's hard to put words.
13:26
Godric
You know what? I don't know. But you gotta hear it, I think. Yeah. You know, And I will tell you what the. Like, what. What elements I kind of always try to have present in my music is. There is nobody og more OG of the party than my mom, you know?
13:44
DJ Whippopatomus
Okay.
13:44
Godric
And so I used to watch her my entire life coming up as a child, just like, when she get ready with her girls on the weekend, it was. That in itself was an event because, like, they were so excited about whatever they were this thing where they just would go dance and they were together and stuff. And I. And it was about the party for them. Not like the kind of things that are peripheral at a party, like men or, like, drug, you know, I don't know. It was really just them, like, getting so fly.
14:13
DJ Whippopatomus
Yes.
14:14
Godric
That they wanted.
14:15
DJ Whippopatomus
That's the party part of it.
14:16
Godric
The party, in a sense, was going to be an accessory for them to just go do that thing. And I was honestly.
14:25
DJ Whippopatomus
I love it.
14:25
Godric
And so being right up around that. And I've always had, like, a lot of. I just had an affinity for show business. And just like. Because I was like. I see that these are regular people who do, like, evoke things, you know, with, you know, like, shows and gifts and stuff. And I was just enamored by how that works.
14:43
DJ Whippopatomus
Right.
14:44
Godric
Always, I think, you know, I was attracted to that. And so as far as my music goes, it's about. I always wanted you to bump. It's like my experience that I have when I'm like, party. And it's like, I know how I want to feel.
14:59
DJ Whippopatomus
Yeah.
14:59
Godric
And so. But when it comes to the structuring, like, the songs, like, specifically and stuff like that, those are technical challenges. That I'm doing as far as a writer. So my words and stuff like that and my language is really, really important to me.
15:13
DJ Whippopatomus
Yeah.
15:13
Godric
But the formatting of songs and stuff like that, I'm still learning.
15:18
DJ Whippopatomus
Okay.
15:18
Godric
Because I want to make it more just. I'll say it sounds so funny. We always say ready to wear, in a sense, but that makes. I. I don't want that place for my writing.
15:31
DJ Whippopatomus
Yeah.
15:32
Godric
In a sense, it can be accessible because that's what music is to me. I can immediately tap into word. I know when I'm feeling something, I can put on, like, a Casey Musgrave song. And, like, I just know I'm fitting to be taken care of.
15:43
DJ Whippopatomus
Okay.
15:43
Godric
And so music has that kind of agency for me. So I want to slide into that as far as a challenge as a writer, in a sense. Like, I want to be able to kind of go into that kind of very slick, quick pocket and provide a moment and create a world in, like, two or three minutes.
15:59
DJ Whippopatomus
All right.
16:00
Godric
Be able to do that. And I think that'll just always help my ability elsewhere for any other kind of writing to tap in and kind of be able to be a technically skilled rapper. And music helps me sharpen that because it's like, you have two, three minutes to do something that's worthwhile. And, like, would you even listen to it if you weren't you kind of thinking. I like that challenge because I think that's how we've gotten some of the greatest records ever.
16:24
DJ Whippopatomus
For real?
16:24
Godric
Yes. It's just like, I have to be.
16:27
DJ Whippopatomus
I think that was, like, one of the. The best, most elaborate descriptions everyone anyone's ever given me about their music. I love that. I love that. So, yeah, we'll move into your album. Hater. Yeah. It was a really fun album to listen to. I feel, in essence, it has a very eclectic sound. And the beats that you're on are really different, too.
16:51
Godric
It's.
16:52
DJ Whippopatomus
I really love how it all comes together.
16:53
Godric
Yes. Yes. Thank you. My best friend behind you, he produced the whole thing. Tom Coyote. Yes. He's a producer. That was just. Or that was so organic and like.
17:06
DJ Whippopatomus
Yes.
17:06
Godric
I think I'm still resistant and reluctant to think that it just was literally all supposed to be how it happened, because it just was seamless in that way.
17:15
DJ Whippopatomus
Right.
17:15
Godric
And were after it, but it also wasn't hard. We had already kind of just, like, we had settled into the idea. That was the first time. It was like, a proving ground, in a sense, for us as friends, for sure. But Also as, like, artists in our own right, you know, like, crafting something so we can begin a thing that we said we really want to do, which is be a part of music and, like, do really and innovate music and push it, you know?
17:42
DJ Whippopatomus
Yeah.
17:45
Godric
With COVID and stuff, you had nothing but time. Of course. But also, like, that can take away the truth about, like, how, like, taxing all of that, what we've been through in the past two years.
17:55
DJ Whippopatomus
Yeah.
17:55
Godric
Like, but because of that. Yeah. I needed.
17:58
DJ Whippopatomus
That's right. This is a Covet album lockdown, for sure.
18:02
Godric
These are.
18:03
DJ Whippopatomus
These are songs, like, not about the lockdown.
18:06
Godric
No, not about it. But it was during that time. Yeah. Period, for sure. Yeah. That's when I was. Of everything that happened, I was able to. That was the thing that was like a through line. I was like, okay, yeah, thread will always be there, despite everything else is changing, like, second to second. And that's kind of what it. I kind of latched on to it for. But it was also that, like, if I hadn't put it out at that moment, I didn't want to go further. I didn't. It would been too much time that I just been doing songs. Okay. Know about it. And I've done performances.
18:43
DJ Whippopatomus
Yeah.
18:44
Godric
People like, where I find your music, after a while, you have to start to kind of, like, bring that together. Continues to spill out.
18:50
DJ Whippopatomus
Okay.
18:51
Godric
I need to bring them to a center, like, if they need to refer to something, even while I'm figuring something else out about whatever a place, like, start. And that was, for me, I was like, if I don't start now, I never will.
19:02
DJ Whippopatomus
Right.
19:02
Godric
And I was like, I want this. This is crazy. And we have the product and we have the work, and we just wanted. And we did it for that reason. We executed it. I'm so proud of it. I really am.
19:13
DJ Whippopatomus
So you're. You were performing songs before you even released anything?
19:16
Godric
Yes.
19:17
DJ Whippopatomus
Okay.
19:17
Godric
Because I had songs I had been performing for, like, at least two years.
19:23
DJ Whippopatomus
Wow.
19:25
Godric
Before the pandemic, I was. I. I had shows at least once a month.
19:29
DJ Whippopatomus
Yeah.
19:30
Godric
And if not once a month, every other month. Okay.
19:34
DJ Whippopatomus
Wow. And is it before the pandemic?
19:36
Godric
Huh?
19:36
DJ Whippopatomus
You said before.
19:37
Godric
Yeah, that's really. That's what I'm saying. It was like. That's when I was so excited. And that's why 2020. I remember specifically, I was like, this is gonna be the year. Because I was just coming off, like, I was, like, homeless at that time.
19:47
DJ Whippopatomus
Okay.
19:48
Godric
But I was still performing.
19:49
DJ Whippopatomus
Wow.
19:49
Godric
That's what was crazy, but I was like, this is just how I got to do it, you know, and then. But I. I had come off was doing so many performances that I was really encouraged that 2020 was just going to be like, it was just going to continue that energy. And then, like, you know, everything just changed.
20:05
DJ Whippopatomus
Right, right.
20:06
Godric
We had to change with it. But I knew that, like, that was the time to decide, you know what I'm saying? Or I had. Or I had already made my. My decision kind of. And I was like, I just got to figure out how to navigate this too, and figure that out. So it was a through line. Again. It was intentional for me because I even. I've been homeless a few times, kind of.
20:28
DJ Whippopatomus
Right.
20:28
Godric
Moved from home. All right. I've. It's never like, dictated my point for being here. Fighting myself either. Yeah. Dire. Dire. Like, I had people there for me.
20:39
DJ Whippopatomus
Yeah, yeah.
20:40
Godric
But just not having my own place is what I mean. Like, I had people there for me.
20:43
DJ Whippopatomus
To hear that stuff. Like. Yeah, for sure. For sure.
20:46
Godric
You want. You know, this is like, going through that is hard, but it's, like, worth it. I'm not saying people just do it.
20:52
DJ Whippopatomus
Oh, yeah.
20:53
Godric
I'm just saying, like, for me, I was like, I know I'm going through this, and that's fine. Okay. Yeah.
21:00
DJ Whippopatomus
Okay.
21:00
Godric
Yeah.
21:01
DJ Whippopatomus
Oh, yeah. So, yeah. Going back to your performances, the. The last time and the first time I seen you perform was that Juice Lord show at the poor house. When was that? Like, October, November. That was lit. That's. That's when I first discovered you. And then I looked you up afterwards and found your album. Yeah. Yeah.
21:19
Godric
Did you like. Like, yeah. I was about to say, actually put them in a little thing. Yeah. You know, Android, Apple. I loved it. I was like, is this for me?
21:28
DJ Whippopatomus
Yeah.
21:28
Godric
Share everything.
21:29
DJ Whippopatomus
No, I. I love that. I was about to say, like, you bring a lot of energy. I think I've seen you perform one other place. I can't remember right now, but. But yeah, when you were performing at Juicer show, you brought so much energy to the stage.
21:40
Godric
Thank you so much. Yes. It was just having no show that was the thing that. About music. I was like, if I don't fit in hip hop and stuff, that's cool. Like, I knew I was gonna always gonna be somebody that would. They'll refer to as, like, different. Yeah, know that. Yeah. And I know why, but I knew I didn't care because I loved live shows so much. That's what was the bread and butter for me when I Grew up. It was just like I used to watch every day after school. I just watch the Beyonce Experience dvd.
22:12
DJ Whippopatomus
Okay.
22:12
Godric
My mom's husband come in. He hated it so bad. Cause I was a boy. And that's all his excuse was. He was like, and he'll just turn it off. And every day of the day I'll come right back in there and I'll watch it again. And I didn't care. And like it was so. It was so repetitive and so incessant. He just stopped because I was like, I'm going to watch this all the time no matter what. And so like that. And then like Diana Ross, Whitney Houston. Just those performances where there were no fans on the stage. Okay. Hot. And they were sweating. But they were giving you these master class performances where like same feeling I get when I go to the movies is how I felt when I was watching these shows. But they was just people on stage.
22:58
Godric
I was like, you can do that. That is just like when I call people mutants and I call myself a mutant and I refer to X Men and stuff like that. Okay. I think that is a superpower to me.
23:07
DJ Whippopatomus
Okay.
23:07
Godric
To do that. Kind of go. Exceed what we know to be like the common man's ability to kind of like get up there and provide an out of body thing because of art, which is the music and stuff. I wanted to do that because it felt like a challenge. And I also just loved it and I loved how other people did it and I wanted. I'm so interested in seeing how I can do it.
23:28
DJ Whippopatomus
Yeah.
23:29
Godric
And that's. That's my thing. I still love it to this day.
23:33
DJ Whippopatomus
Love it.
23:34
Godric
What I wanted to do and be a part of it. Yeah.
23:36
DJ Whippopatomus
Another thing I wanted to note is your outfits on stage are immaculate. Like, it's amazing. Like, oh, you walk in the best dress.
23:44
Godric
You come step in.
23:46
DJ Whippopatomus
Yeah. I'm trying to talk about that. So I really appreciate the fashion you bring. Just, just fashion in general. Street fashion.
23:53
Godric
Like, that makes me so happy.
23:54
DJ Whippopatomus
I come from Virginia beach and like, at least the part where I come from, we. We've always kind of prided ourselves and what wear.
24:00
Godric
Yeah, yeah.
24:01
DJ Whippopatomus
That's been a part of our culture, really. And so I've always kind of looked for that. Where I go. I'm not a traditional student. I was in the army for a few years before I came out here. Yeah. So I came out here and just. It's a little bit different in some areas, especially like on campus and stuff. You know, with the fashion. Everyone's Wearing the same wolf pack T shirt, that type. I'm like, I'm not with that at all.
24:23
Godric
Oh, my gosh.
24:24
DJ Whippopatomus
So, yeah, I just want to say, like, I really do appreciate it.
24:26
Godric
No, yeah, no, same. I think that's why I like, make sure. I don't even think I make sure. It's just been like. It is like, I think is like when you wash your hands after you use bathroom. It's.
24:40
DJ Whippopatomus
Yeah, that's what I'm saying. Walk out the house.
24:43
Godric
I gotta. I don't know. I don't. And it's not. And I think what can help people understand it is that it's not for anybody else but me. Yeah. Part of exactly. Like you take a bath. It's a part of taking care. Yeah. For me. And. And I think it comes for me also out of a history that when I wasn't taking the best care of myself, that was always the way I knew how to.
25:06
DJ Whippopatomus
Okay.
25:07
Godric
So I was like. I knew how to present because that was a part of. In a. Not show business, in a sense, but that element of that thing that I loved. All right. Presentation and how you can still put up despite your situation, your money.
25:24
DJ Whippopatomus
Like, yeah, yeah.
25:26
Godric
Where you at? It was always a way, in an instant way to kind of go away and just like a book or just like a song. It was just like another kind of vessel, in a sense. But also I come from, like a little heritage. When I tell you my mom. Yeah. My mom is so flying.
25:43
DJ Whippopatomus
Okay.
25:44
Godric
To this day, to me, love it. And other people might think it's cookie and stuff like that or whatever. They like. She's like, you know when. You know when she gonna. They. It's like a dress down is supposed to happen as you get older. You're a mom. But she doesn't do that. And I think so. It's so bizarre to even think that is a thing. But she's never ever heard that. They thank God for it.
26:08
DJ Whippopatomus
Yeah.
26:09
Godric
And I've just taken that on because, like, I think just honestly being so creative, I was so interested. It's just like closed. I don't like boredom. I don't like being bored. I don't realize that it's like. And it's not about, like, oh, doing something to excite me.
26:22
DJ Whippopatomus
Yeah.
26:22
Godric
It's just like if I do happen to look at what I got on, I don't wanted to have no statement at all or be flatlining, you know, to me, and it's like just another method or mo for me to care for the self. It's a. It's a. Some material expression.
26:38
DJ Whippopatomus
Exactly.
26:39
Godric
I think to me, yeah, I feel that. And so. But also with what I do and want to do, it just is like, textbook. Like, don't even. What are you talking about? And I want to step, and I want to come hard like that because I love it. And it is a competition to me. Just like Serena's on out there playing.
26:57
DJ Whippopatomus
Okay.
26:58
Godric
I want to demolish people, but it's not.
27:02
DJ Whippopatomus
I love it.
27:02
Godric
It's not intentionally in my mind that way. When I put it on, it's just my intention as far as myself. It's like.
27:07
DJ Whippopatomus
Yeah.
27:07
Godric
When I look at the photos. Oh, my gosh, that was great. You know, because it. Change clothes is just like, I hope I'll find something today, you know, that was just like, oh, I'm just obsessed with this. Cause I really do love it, and I think that's why it kind of comes through. And hopefully people see that. Is that the love for it that I have kind of comes through in the. In the decisions.
27:28
DJ Whippopatomus
Yeah.
27:28
Godric
And I also want people to know. It's like, anybody can do it. People.
27:31
DJ Whippopatomus
Yeah.
27:31
Godric
I think it's like, oh, it's just you so different. I'm like, you ain't tried nothing.
27:35
DJ Whippopatomus
Exactly.
27:35
Godric
Yeah.
27:36
DJ Whippopatomus
They just. They just don't know. They don't know yet.
27:38
Godric
Yes.
27:38
DJ Whippopatomus
You know, it's not too late, so let me.
27:40
Godric
But that's fine. I'll be here to always inspire you to do it. Yeah, exactly. Nothing else to say, but I mean it.
27:48
DJ Whippopatomus
All right, we're going to take a. A quick break, and while we do that, I'm going to play PB9 country off of Godric's latest album, P9V. Oh, little dyslexic over here.
27:59
Godric
No, no, no. It's one of my favorites, bro. The new video just came out, too, on the 17th, so they can go check that out on YouTube.
28:06
DJ Whippopatomus
Let me run that back, actually. So we're going to take a quick break real quick. And while I do that, we're going to play P9B Country off Godric's latest album, Hater. Y'all enjoy.
28:18
Godric
Yes, sir.
28:24
Music
[Godric – P9B COUNTRY]
30:11
DJ Whippopatomus
What's good, everybody? It's DJ Whippopatomus. And I'm still here with:
30:16
Godric
Yo is Godric bro. So, yeah, I'll be doing stuff like that on my songs, and it's always ugly, so just expect.
30:24
DJ Whippopatomus
Hey, I love it.
30:25
Godric
I do, too. That's what I do.
30:28
DJ Whippopatomus
We used to. Back in high school, my friends and I, we. We had like a little name for ourselves, like Ugly Gang.
30:34
Godric
Because it was. Y' all would do ugly stuff, right? Yeah, and I literally will always do it, and I do not care. Yeah, it takes away from nothing else.
30:43
DJ Whippopatomus
That's the whole essence of it.
30:44
Godric
Yeah, it's ugly because I'm. I got anxiety and I'll be like, how, bro? Like whatever.
30:49
DJ Whippopatomus
Exactly.
30:49
Godric
So expect it, but don't play with me all the time.
30:53
DJ Whippopatomus
Feel it now. So we just listened to P9B Country, and you recently just released a music video for that song.
31:00
Godric
Yes.
31:02
DJ Whippopatomus
Yeah, I love to talk about that. That was such unique. It was. It was dope. It was very unique. The. From the choreography, like, we're. We're already talking about the. The fashion, the outfits was tough and. Yeah, I see you put a lot of. A lot of effort into that.
31:16
Godric
Yes.
31:17
DJ Whippopatomus
Yeah. Can you tell me a little bit more about the concept behind that.
31:20
Godric
Yes, yes. Again, produced by Tommy. Okay. With the video that was. That was a co director. He directed it with me. He randomly directed. It was so crazy. I still think about it. But to close out Hater, I just knew P9B. P9B country was named after. Or it's kind of took after Lovecraft. Country is a TV show. HBO. Okay. And I just was so inspired by that, bro. It's like I dreamed that show in my mind. Like, I feel like I wanted that kind of show forever. Where it blended history and black people and like, word high fantasy. With an incredible budget at hbo. So they can.
31:58
DJ Whippopatomus
Another one. Gotta check out.
31:59
Godric
Yeah, absolutely. Oh, my gosh. I just was like, oh, my God, this is the time. It just made me just like, this is you. If this is it, like this is there. It's not going to get more blatant than this.
32:10
DJ Whippopatomus
Right.
32:10
Godric
So just out of. At a. Out of adoration for that show, I made that song and I was going through some crazy stuff. Okay. So I was able to write it and I just. It just was perfect. And I still love that song and I respect it.
32:22
DJ Whippopatomus
Okay.
32:23
Godric
And so. And I knew that. I knew that it just had to have video. I was not going to be able to leave Hater in the past until he had a video. And so I wrote up a treatment and like all treatments that I've done so far because I ain't got, you know, Cash man.
32:41
DJ Whippopatomus
Yeah, yeah.
32:42
Godric
All my stuff is really grassroots and homegrown. Yeah, I like that element. I don't think that'll ever change about my stuff.
32:48
DJ Whippopatomus
You support the local art community.
32:50
Godric
Yeah, you know, within the community. You're right. And I. And I really believe, like. Like I said, music is an agency for me. So I really believe in having the things that I value represented in the work and stuff that I produce. So the video was like, I like thinking it up. I like putting the world around it. I like trying to find a place Incorporated.
33:11
DJ Whippopatomus
Where did you film that?
33:12
Godric
That is still. We still can't know the name. I don't know. I have a person that like, you know, gave it to. Yeah, sure. But they just was like, I can't tell you the name. And I was like, that's fine.
33:23
DJ Whippopatomus
That's all right.
33:24
Godric
And I like that because I like stuff like that. I feel like I'm in a Marvel movie and I'm like, cool. It wasn't Durham, though. And I love doing things like that. As far as, like, local places.
33:34
DJ Whippopatomus
Yeah.
33:34
Godric
Because I'm not back home in Kingston, and I know one day I'll do something.
33:37
DJ Whippopatomus
Okay, yeah. Yeah.
33:38
Godric
That hasn't happened yet.
33:39
DJ Whippopatomus
Kinston. I've heard a little bit about Kinston. It's kind of changing lately. Yeah, we talked about it. One of my art classes. So I'm in an art business class. Shout out, Dr. B. But. So we had one. We all had to, like, create our own art venture. And this one girl was talking about open up an art venue in Kinston to be able to have all kinds of different shows and showcase different types of art and stuff like that. She was just talking about how. How it's. It's starting to grow a bit faster now. Like, more people are starting to move into smaller towns.
34:14
Godric
Oh, my gosh.
34:15
DJ Whippopatomus
And so, yeah, it's just interesting they didn't send me the newsletter.
34:18
Godric
Yeah. That's so interesting. I'm so excited. I feel like an ambassador. I've always said it. I've never put Kingston down. Okay. There's no. I don't have the guts of titanium that I do without. That place is so bizarre.
34:33
DJ Whippopatomus
Yeah.
34:33
Godric
But in this. In a really charming way. You know, this super small town. So I got a lot of that in a part of me. So I'm happy to hear that. I don't go back often enough to find out.
34:42
DJ Whippopatomus
Right.
34:43
Godric
Okay. Because of the pandemic and stuff like that. Yeah, for sure. I love high.
34:47
DJ Whippopatomus
I wonder if anything has changed, like, different to you. If anything were like, I will go.
34:51
Godric
Back and I'll have a checklist. Yeah. And I feel like one of those people who, like, you know, those people who have, like, a secret committee in the town that runs everything.
34:58
DJ Whippopatomus
Okay.
34:59
Godric
I'm on that community, so you can't just be doing stuff, you know, talking to me. I'm playing I feel it.
35:05
DJ Whippopatomus
No, like, she was talking about how she knew this one guy that, like, owns half the town.
35:08
Godric
Oh, I. Yeah, we. We know him, too. We know. That's what I'm saying about that. To the small town element, it's like, yeah, one person knows, everybody knows kind of thing. And so that is cool to me, you know, whatever. Because it's just a truth about those kind of place. Honestly. Honestly? Yes. Yes. Kissing on the map. See how sneaky is in your classroom when I'm in here?
35:32
DJ Whippopatomus
Exactly.
35:32
Godric
Got little agents out here. So funny.
35:37
DJ Whippopatomus
Yeah. So do you have roots anywhere else besides Kingston? Kingston.
35:42
Godric
You know, well, the con, like, my. My dad's side of the family's from, like, Deep Run, which is like, Kingston.
35:57
DJ Whippopatomus
Okay.
35:59
Godric
Subtract two kind of. You know, it's just like a derivative of it in a sense. So they're all there. All I know is, like, my grandma, her people, like, when she came down here, they came down from New Jersey. So that's just about much as I know of any lineage or, like, other roots any other place, but for the most part, North Carolina, everybody comes here for the family reunion. So we're the headquarters.
36:22
DJ Whippopatomus
Yeah, yeah.
36:23
Godric
In my mind only because I'm from here, though. Yeah, yeah.
36:27
DJ Whippopatomus
How would you describe the community, the hip hop and art community in the Triangle?
36:34
Godric
I've literally from listening. So, like, Juice Lord was like, Juice Lord's huge. You know, say that.
36:40
DJ Whippopatomus
I hear that.
36:41
Godric
And that was a defining point in my career. And I tell them that all the time. It's just, for me, I think, personally,
36:48
DJ Whippopatomus
That show was lit. Honestly, it was for me, too.
36:50
Godric
It was like. Yeah. Because the first time, I think, was before the pandemic. His birthday is in October, and I love Halloween. I think it's on or near Halloween or something like that. And was you at the show years ago when you had at Kings? I don't know.
37:01
DJ Whippopatomus
I just. I just hopped on this past year.
37:04
Godric
Okay, okay. He had. I think it's just like, maybe two or three.
37:07
DJ Whippopatomus
Oh, you said Kings. Oh, that's legendary.
37:09
Godric
I know, right? I know. And I always feel. I was like, he's giving so many moments where it's like, it can't even be moments anymore because, like, venues have closed.
37:18
DJ Whippopatomus
Yeah.
37:18
Godric
And so Juice reached out, and this was just off of, like, performances he. I think his friends had come to or just not his. They had come to it, but they had, like. Whereas there was somebody else who was coming, and they had seen me, and I think they had kind of, like, let him know what I was doing. Okay. And he reached out because he was putting together a birthday show at Kings, I think, two or three years ago, and he asked me to perform. And I remember that feeling to this day. I was like. Because Juice is like. When you talk about, like, the hip hop community and what. What is generally accepting of, like, he can feel that void or seem to feel that void on the surface, but when you get to know him, he's a humanist in the.
38:04
Godric
In the most, like, radical way.
38:06
DJ Whippopatomus
Yeah. He shows a lot of love and.
38:08
Godric
And I. And like, putting me on your bill. You did. We hadn't met or had conversations, really.
38:12
DJ Whippopatomus
Yeah.
38:12
Godric
And, yeah, I seen him when I first moved to Raleigh, I remember. And I was Staying with a buddy. He had a performance where, like, the Morgan Street Food hall is now. And I had seen him there. He was in a orange jumpsuit, jail jumpsuit, and had a big fro. And I just remember being like. And I remember how he was rocking the crowd. It was at Emerge, actually, and Emerge isn't there anymore, so that's, like, another thing.
38:39
DJ Whippopatomus
Yeah.
38:39
Godric
And he was just going with the crowd, and they loved him. And I just was like, this is what I came here to do, and I want to do it so bad. So years later, getting to kind of be on the bill with him. Yeah. Because of my music and not because of a relationship that I was like, oh, like, you. Full circle. And those are the moments I. When I say I'm talking about challenges, is to constantly keep myself believing that kind of way and towards things that I want and making those things happen. Because I. The. The re. I wanted that kind of relationship, in a sense, with people that I could respect and were respected from the beginning. And because that was my intention, I carried myself that way. And I have made sure my music is, like, up to par.
39:19
Godric
Anything that I do, if I'm in someone's face, I want it to be worth it. So they're only kind of exchanging with me because of that and not some, like, pity or, like, help or, like, kind of thing, because I don't need that. And so it was mutual respect that I loved. And so. And Juice just brought me into that fold. And ever since, I don't think I've ever looked again. I didn't even know I was looking for. Until that moment happened, but I never looked again for that sort of a hope for approval. Because when he's. When he did. When he did embrace me, he was like, bro, you're hot. Like, come do the show. It's like, come on. Like, I'll see you. I was like, oh, my God. Like, I was like, oh, all guys.
40:00
Godric
I was thinking, like, Juice was all guys who was going to be like, oh, bro. Like, you know. You know, like, I get it, you know, but I don't. You know, I get it, but I don't. They look kind of.
40:08
DJ Whippopatomus
And they are tough, you know.
40:09
Godric
Yeah. But it has nothing to do about their sensibilities of what they understand and how they see the world. And that was another thing that I had to learn. I still have to learn. It's like conditioning. It's like, that's. I can be fighting against these systems, but still be kind of thinking in the same way sometimes. Like, I was like, those guys would never get people like me. So I'm already kind of self segregating, which is kind of, in a sense the. How insidious that problem is of projecting and not having community and not talking.
40:36
DJ Whippopatomus
Yeah.
40:37
Godric
So reaching across the aisle is so important.
40:39
DJ Whippopatomus
Yeah.
40:39
Godric
He's just emboldened me and I always make sure he. Hope he knows it for sure. And oh, yeah. The strength that I'm at today as far as being an artist and what I feel like I can do and I don't care who sees me a kind of way is because of guys that have already come along to being like, hey, then they're solid and fire to me and they've done things that I want to do. I'm like, that's all the confirmation ends in the world. But I don't need it anymore either. That's what that was like my first and last time. I was like, oh, okay. You don't. First of all, you don't need to want this kind of confirmation because that's something that'll be unending and you always need it. But also, if you.
41:14
Godric
Here's proof of it that like, you are somebody that can be seen for what you do and nothing else. And he just is a real man to this day. Shout out to this Lord.
41:26
DJ Whippopatomus
Yes, sir. For real. No, no, you're good.
41:33
Godric
I just.
41:34
DJ Whippopatomus
I have adhd, so I'd be forgetting a second later. Anyways, so I want to help our listeners get to know you a little better. First of all, what are. Who are some of your favorite artists that you're listening to now?
41:45
Godric
Oh, my gosh. Listen, listen. Here's the thing. Okay, Okay, I am sorry because I listen to these same people if it's just me. But here's the thing also, I want people to always know there's an underbelly to my stuff. Okay? So it could seem away on the top and I'd rather. I love watching people have fun with their ideas about stuff because I'll be like, whatever. But for me, remember I was talking to you about technical ability and. Because I want to be a part of music and do incredibly well with it. Like, I respect the art form so much and I want to be a part of the canon. There's people who are like coaches in my mind and coaches in the sense of how they. How they. Their material, their songs and stuff come across.
42:33
Godric
There's things that they do technically, I think, or this is how my brain process is that I can identify and Then incorporate it into my work, you know, as far as just like, a guide, you know, of how to do it. And so Sizzler's like, okay. I don't want to listen to nothing else for her all the time, but I know that's, like, not regular. And so Casey Musgraves for sure.
43:00
DJ Whippopatomus
Okay.
43:04
Godric
Oh, Jid.
43:07
DJ Whippopatomus
Yeah.

That's new in my orbit. We were listening to Wedding Crashers on the way here. They're incredible. Tommy puts me on to a lot of people because I can be really insular. Like, I told you. So, like, in a day, I'm literally all listening to Sza, Casey and Summer Walker. And that's maybe been for the past year and a half.
43:24
DJ Whippopatomus
Yeah.
43:25
Godric
And it's. But I know for me.
43:27
DJ Whippopatomus
Yeah.
43:27
Godric
Why? It's because I get this. It's not even. Like, I enjoy the songs. That's, like, done with.
43:32
DJ Whippopatomus
That's a fact.
43:33
Godric
Like, whatever.
43:34
DJ Whippopatomus
You heard it a lot.
43:34
Godric
It's like, I'm also budding and growing as an artist, and there's things that I'm highly interested in doing as far as elements in my work. I remember Doja Cat tweeted maybe a few months ago. She was like, I finally feel about my music the way I used to feel about others. And I thought that was revelatory because I was like, that's how I want to feel. Or I think that's what I'm doing when I'm studying people's music that way, who I love, because it's just. You can't study a feeling, but as close as to the ideas you can get. I try to. So I can kind of evoke it because I like the ability to learn, too.
44:16
Godric
So it's like, at the same time, like, a lot of these things, just the doing of it, the practice of it is fun for me, but it's also data to apply.
44:24
DJ Whippopatomus
Yeah.
44:24
Godric
Something that I really want to do and do really well. And also, I just love loving music. I love finding something that I just. That I just love. Right. I just do. But I'm also interested at the same time, like, how that happens and what makes it happen. So those are my top three, usually. And that's just, like, my vanguard, you know?
44:42
DJ Whippopatomus
Good to know.
44:43
Godric
Yes.
44:45
DJ Whippopatomus
What's your favorite place to eat around here or just where. Where you're from? As long as it's local. No chains.
44:50
Godric
Oh, my gosh. So like, here in Raleigh.
44:53
DJ Whippopatomus
Yeah.
44:57
Godric
Today. Well, that's not a place to eat.
44:59
DJ Whippopatomus
Wherever you're familiar with, honestly. In Carolina.
45:03
Godric
Really?
45:03
DJ Whippopatomus
Yeah. Yeah, we.
45:06
Godric
Well, since I'm out in a little bit in Chapel Hill area, there's this place called iP3.
45:13
DJ Whippopatomus
Okay.
45:13
Godric
It's a great pizza joint.
45:15
DJ Whippopatomus
Oh, word.
45:15
Godric
And I don't even care for pizza.
45:17
DJ Whippopatomus
Yeah.
45:18
Godric
I feel you out. And that's how I want. I like that. That's why I talk about haters. That's why I named my first tape Hater. I am not a hater. And I. And I was making a point about how that there's moments where you can be one and you know it, but you just like, that's a lie. I can't lie. And that pizza is crazy. Crazy. And then there's this place, Jimmy's in Durham. And then in Raleigh. The only place I really can say in Raleigh, it's Mojo's. But that's like basic burgers. But I'm a big. And those are gigantic burgers. Okay. So. But. Only reason I haven't updated that in those shade emojis is just because I haven't, like, been to Raleigh. But I'm gonna be back.
46:02
DJ Whippopatomus
Yeah.
46:03
Godric
You know, everybody get back so we can get out of this.
46:05
DJ Whippopatomus
Yeah.
46:05
Godric
So I can do these shows.
46:06
DJ Whippopatomus
Hear that?
46:06
Godric
And we can go out to eat Facts afterwards.
46:09
DJ Whippopatomus
Man, I'm hungry now.
46:12
Godric
What's your. Where should I go? What's the spot?
46:14
DJ Whippopatomus
My go to? Oh, man, I wasn't ready for that.
46:17
Godric
I know, right? You asking me questions. Now you on the spot. What is it, man?
46:21
DJ Whippopatomus
Let's see, let's see. I. I go. I like to eat a lot of different food. You know, I really love Japanese sushi, hibachi. I love Korean barbecue.
46:30
Godric
I haven't had Korean barbecue. Oh, I've heard a lot about her.
46:36
DJ Whippopatomus
Yeah, Beef bulgogi is a good go to if you're new with Korean barbecue. But. Come on. Like, I know places. It's just they don't come to me.
46:44
Godric
When people ask, see what happens? See?
46:46
DJ Whippopatomus
See, that's why I'm on the other side.
46:50
Godric
Yes.
46:50
DJ Whippopatomus
But I shout out mister. Is it Mr. Sushi? I think it is. It's all you can eat. Sushi buffet. And they do kitchen too.
46:59
Godric
Do you know what's good?
47:01
DJ Whippopatomus
What?
47:02
Godric
I think I just, like, made you do that so I could figure out what my real answer was. My real answer is that cow play place at Morgan Street Food Hall. Cowbell, cow bar, Cowboy. Yeah. A truffle burger where I get. Oh, patties and like, mad mushrooms and triple. And then I get the truffle fries.
47:28
DJ Whippopatomus
Oh, yeah. That's different.
47:30
Godric
And I sit there, I never finished the burger. And that's the best part is I always wonder when I'm going to be done with the burger because I like. And sit there just, like, tired and ready to drink a beer.
47:39
DJ Whippopatomus
Yeah.
47:40
Godric
Yeah. So that's my real answer.
47:42
DJ Whippopatomus
I got one now I got a name. Feel confident with Rise. It's a breakfast or no E with a E. Yeah. They have biscuits, they have biscuit donuts, and they have homemade donuts, and they have chicken. Chicken biscuits. The chicken biscuits are good, right? Yeah.
48:02
Godric
You're going to be excited because guess what? I had one this morning.
48:05
DJ Whippopatomus
Yeah.
48:06
Godric
So my friend brought me what you get. What you get a chicken one with egg, bacon.
48:09
DJ Whippopatomus
Yes, the eggs.
48:11
Godric
And I'm not even that. I like to see some sauce. Yeah.
48:15
DJ Whippopatomus
I get the dried cheese on it.
48:16
Godric
But, you know. Oh, gosh. Do you know when the first time I got that pimento cheese thing from there, I went on a pimento binge. I went. I went in the food line and got pimento and then I made my own burgers at the house on bagels. It was so crazy. It's on my fence too. Nobody ever see it. Yeah.
48:35
DJ Whippopatomus
All right, we're gonna close this out real quick. Is there anything else you'd like to let the listeners know.
48:42
Godric
Other than the verbiage? I don't forgot the how to say stuff. But hey, you know, where can they.
48:48
DJ Whippopatomus
Find your music and your social media?
48:50
Godric

48:56
DJ Whippopatomus
Okay. All social media.

Godric
Amazing.
48:58
DJ Whippopatomus
Yeah, yeah, that's important.
49:01
Godric
Yeah, you can catch me on that. We're getting about ready to roll out some new stuff in February. A new single.
49:08
DJ Whippopatomus
Oh, okay.
49:09
Godric
And I'm working on new project. Yeah, it's really. I'm just trying to pace the work, not pace the world or like, not pay attention to it. But you can't be that way anymore. You know, that seems improper. And at least I'm not that way.
49:25
DJ Whippopatomus
Yeah.
49:26
Godric
So I just want to kind of make sure this, like, I want to tie up, you know, announcements and, like, things I'm doing as the world can kind of like, it's moving forward, too. That's important to me. But things are moving forward for sure. And so, yeah, P9B Country music video is out. Yep. Now you can definitely see that on my page.
