00:38
DJ Iron Mic
Yo, what's going on, everybody? It's your boy, DJ Iron Mic. It's a special edition of Local Rap Lunch, because certain things were going on. The programming situation at noon. So it's a late lunch, the evening lunch, a supper of sorts. But I got a very special guest in the building. Building. I got the homie Jooselord in the building, my brother.
01:01
Jooselord
Yeah.
01:02
DJ Iron Mic
I got the Homie Jovi Mosconi, Big Facts, Crossbones in this.
01:06
Jovi Mosconi
Absolutely.
01:07
DJ Iron Mic
I'm about to start cursing.
01:11
Jooselord
We get everybody in trouble. It don't matter. You'll be all right.
01:16
DJ Iron Mic
If you are. If you're a fan of local hip hop, then you obviously know who Jooselord is. He's. He's the. He's everywhere. You're everywhere, bro. You do. You do your thing. You do a show, like, at least. At least every other week. You also know that I'm his dj, so we're quite busy.
01:34
Jovi Mosconi
Extremely Young Butter Rugs in the Building.
01:36
DJ Iron Mic
Put out the best album of the year. Saying that in a biased way at all. But no, I go in all honesty, jokes aside, like, for real, your album definitely holds up, even with, like, the. The national cats that have been released. And it's been a good summer, too.
01:55
Jovi Mosconi
Yeah, it's been a real good summer. Releases.
01:58
DJ Iron Mic
So you know me and you came together to work together. Last year, I hit you up to feature on Cops Come.
02:07
Jovi Mosconi
Oh, yeah.
02:08
DJ Iron Mic
I didn't know you from. From anything. Nope. I was like. But I know I seen this dude perform this beat. Sounds like something he would want to do. And I got this concept, and you were on it, and ever since then, it's been history. But besides that, like, what was the. What was your process, you know, making the whole album? Because it's a double album. Yeah, that's just one track.
02:26
Jovi Mosconi
Yeah, it was a double album. And my process was very tedious, to say the least. My process was stress, suicidal thoughts, and tears. That's what my process was. I took down, balled that up, and I said, let's make music with it.
02:45
DJ Iron Mic
Hey, that's. That's super effective. It is crazy effective. And so, you know, I mean, it's kind of even stupid to ask what your inspirations were throughout the project because you got. It goes through so many different levels. You got the first part of the album, Days I'll never forget. Yep. And that's like. It's like the lighter side of Joose, which is still dark.
03:09
Jovi Mosconi
It's like I like to say, you know, it's. It's, It's. It's the problems in the world and the things of that nature. You know, I basically speak on what's going on in the world and, like, all the controversial stuff and all of that and how I dislike it.
03:26
DJ Iron Mic
Now you're a big fan of Trump. You're a Trump supporter. You.
03:31
Jovi Mosconi
Wow. You know, MAGA hats.
03:33
Jooselord
You feel me? We got the exclusive colors, MAGA.
03:36
Jovi Mosconi
Hats and bullet shells. This is a new joint coming out.
03:39
Jooselord
You know what I'm saying? Get the camouflage. Special edition joints coming soon.
03:42
Jovi Mosconi
You know, I'm calling the cops on all black people doing anything black. Believe that.
03:46
Jooselord
Big facts.
03:47
Jovi Mosconi
Any situation you cooking out, you out of here. Walking down the street, you out of here. You selling water. I don't care if you three, you out of here.
03:54
Jooselord
Breathe too hard at the bus stop, you out of here.
03:58
DJ Iron Mic
Nah. But really, like, I mean, obviously that's a joke, cuz, you know...
04:03
Jovi Mosconi
Understand that guy.
04:04
Jooselord
Yeah.
04:06
DJ Iron Mic
You know, with everything that's been going on, you know, you're a very conscious rapper. You know, you rap about issues that, you know, black people and just minorities in general face. How. How you think. How do you think someone like Trump being in the office is going to affect, I don't know, not just our lives, but, like, how we create our art? Because it feels like when we, like, the more. The more creative, crazy stuff he says, the more they try to censor us. People calling the cops on us, all that kind of stuff. And you're, like, outspoken as hell.
04:38
Jovi Mosconi
Yes, I am.
04:39
DJ Iron Mic
So what do you. What do you know, what are your feelings on. On all of that?
04:44
Jovi Mosconi
At one point, they banned liquor, and then the prohibition ever happened. You can't stop the people from doing what they gonna do just because you don't like it as the government. You feel what I'm saying?
04:54
DJ Iron Mic
Yeah.
04:54
Jovi Mosconi
So feel how you want to feel. I think it's great for my heart. Let him. He's amazing. The best thing that Trump ever did was make people feel comfortable to be themselves.
05:07
Jooselord
Because now I know how you feel.
05:09
Jovi Mosconi
Yeah, that dude in high school, I was like, yo, we're friends. We not friends, fam.
05:12
Jooselord
Like, damn, we're not even Facebook Jimmy.
05:14
Jovi Mosconi
From the lacrosse team. Yeah, I thought you was cool. Yeah, yeah, we see how you.
05:18
Jooselord
Your favorite rapper was Wayne, bro.
05:20
Jovi Mosconi
Yeah.
05:23
DJ Iron Mic
You know, Jovi, you said your favorite rapper was Wayne. That's one thing that gets me, though,
05:26
Jooselord
Because, like, they love it. Yeah, that's the thing. They love every. They love everything black, but, I mean, except us.
05:31
Jovi Mosconi
You feel me?
05:32
Jooselord
They want all of. All the clothes, the slang, the lingo, fam. I'm getting on the wild rant.
05:38
Jovi Mosconi
Like, if I go on this, you know, the government watches.
05:41
DJ Iron Mic
Well, I mean, you've been. We were laughing, like, even, like, we've done shows and you've, you know, done. Done your spiel.
05:50
Jovi Mosconi
Yeah.
05:50
DJ Iron Mic
And, like, you know, you have people who, like, are blatantly not too comfortable with, but they'll still be like, donald Trump.
05:58
Jovi Mosconi
Yeah.
05:58
DJ Iron Mic
Of Donald Trump.
06:01
Jovi Mosconi
I mean, that's. It's crazy because, like, I've been at shows, you know, if anybody who's heard me, they know, like, you know, the final song, I do it pretty much all my sets is Woosa, you know, that has, you know, F *, pound sign, K. Donald Trump. That's like, the beginning, the first word, first two words of the song. So I start a big chant beforehand. I've been, you know, in front of a bunch of Trump supporters, and they're like, I like this guy. Through the whole. Through the whole set. It's like, whoa, I don't know about this guy.
06:33
DJ Iron Mic
They grabbed my be.
06:34
Jovi Mosconi
He might be a bad person.
06:35
Jooselord
They grabbed a MAGA hat off the rack and just make their way out the building like this. I've had enough of this.
06:40
Jovi Mosconi
He was okay until this point.
06:43
DJ Iron Mic
Do you see any compromise at this point when it comes to people who support Trump or, like, you know, trying to, like, align with his ideas, like, do. Or do you see it as like, that's.
06:54
Jovi Mosconi
That's this. My biggest. My biggest thing that I say is, you know, I'm saying, if you voted for Trump, that's great. That's cool. You know, I'm saying you made a mistake, and, you know, mistakes can be forgiven, but if you continue to support him through the stuff that he's doing right now, then we got a problem.
07:09
DJ Iron Mic
Yeah.
07:10
Jovi Mosconi
So, you know, you wore your MAGA hat and you was proud of it. I dig that. But if you put it on now, after all, he didn't. Did you blatantly tell him, like, I don't care about you.
07:20
Jooselord
Yeah. I'm just too Mexican, friends, I don't care about you.
07:24
DJ Iron Mic
No, that's a fact. You know, but, like, North Carolina Is such a weird place, especially this area, because you got the. You got the three major universities, Four major universities, and you have a liberal, you know, sentiment for the most part in the triangle. But then you. But you. There's still. That is an element. People that don't want to hear. Perfect example. When I first started doing local. Local lunch. Local rap lunch, the first episode,
07:51
Jooselord
You.
07:51
DJ Iron Mic
Got angry email, angry voicemail from this dude. Went on for like three minutes. That was three minute voicemails long.
07:58
Jooselord
Like, I didn't know voicemails could go that long.
08:01
DJ Iron Mic
And he wasn't mad about. He was. He was literally just mad about the fact that were playing rap at lunch in the daytime. And he said, there's a time and place for their stuff. Yeah, he said, I don't. You know, I can't. You know, it's fine. You guys play that stuff at night and whatever. That's. There's a time and place for that. For their stuff.
08:20
Jooselord
Oh, man.
08:20
DJ Iron Mic
But it's lunch. I'm trying to eat lunch. And I was with my kids and almost got sick.
08:25
Jovi Mosconi
So turn to a different station.
08:27
Jooselord
Big facts.
08:28
DJ Iron Mic
But, you know, with the. Going back to the topic, though, like your music. So it's very emotionally charged. Not just politically charged, is emotionally charged, of course. So, you know, have you. I haven't seen anything, but have you experienced anyone coming at you yet over that?
08:48
Jovi Mosconi
Now. Now, Mic being going so many different places with me, you know, I just. As much as a person will want to after seeing me on stage, they're probably like, that is a bad idea. I'm just gonna leave. I want to confront him, but that's a bad idea. Can you imagine? I don't look like the type of person that'll talk to you about things of that nature on stage. Gavin, I will talk. I'm gonna talk to you. You know, we're gonna have. We're gonna have a very. A very.
09:16
DJ Iron Mic
Well, that's what I'm saying. You are very articulate person, very smart.
09:20
Jovi Mosconi
A progressive discussion. But after seeing me on stage, you probably think, like, if I say something to him, you gonna punch me in the face. Yeah, that option is not off the table, just so you know. It's not off the. You still could get punched in the face.
09:34
DJ Iron Mic
So basically, respectfully segueing and punching someone in the face. So you have the. You have the collective, we have the collective, all that. If any of you are familiar with social media, I have a very famous hiccup in an interview trying to explain crossbows.
09:57
Jovi Mosconi
Oh, Man,
10:00
DJ Iron Mic
I was very tired and couldn't get my thoughts together. But Thought Crossbones, the collective.
10:04
Jooselord
Yeah, yeah.
10:05
Jovi Mosconi
The boys.
10:06
DJ Iron Mic
You had boys.
10:07
Jovi Mosconi
We had a girl, but we'll get another one. But, yeah, I'm all about. I wanted. I wanted, like, a full representation of, you know, all different spectrums, but, you know, everything doesn't work out. But, yeah, so talk.
10:22
DJ Iron Mic
Talk about it. So you got. Not only is this me, you, Jovi, we got convo.
10:28
Jovi Mosconi
The Mutant.
10:28
Jooselord
Convo. The mutant.
10:29
Jovi Mosconi
3:00am 3:00am sound. Black truck. I'm saying that's representing the hood, because. Oh, my God.
10:39
DJ Iron Mic
So you have all these. You have all these personalities, and not only their personalities are people that, like, are. That kill it on their own. On their own. 3:00am Doesn't. Doesn't need a collective. Neither does convo. But you bring. Bring all these people together. Let's talk about the process. Why you wanted to do that, why you wanted to bring those people together.
11:00
Jovi Mosconi
Because. Because.
11:02
DJ Iron Mic
Oh, Paradiso, too.
11:03
Jovi Mosconi
Yeah, man.
11:06
DJ Iron Mic
Can't not shout him out. He's making the merch.
11:08
Jovi Mosconi
Oh, and the merch is fire.
11:09
Jooselord
Shout out to Ken, Nico.
11:11
Jovi Mosconi
Absolutely. Yeah. Prezzy Prez. But, yeah, I mean, Ghostface Killer, he didn't need a. He didn't need a collective.
11:22
DJ Iron Mic
True.
11:22
Jovi Mosconi
You know, neither did Raekwon the Chef. You know, Tyler created. Didn't need a collective asap. Rocky. They didn't. None of them needed that.
11:33
Jooselord
Right.
11:34
Jovi Mosconi
But the idea that so many strong artists could come together and represent this area and decide, like, we're not leaving. We're gonna do it from right here. Like, this is. This is our. These are our cities right here. We're gonna do it for this state, these cities, and we're gonna represent.
11:51
DJ Iron Mic
And you. I mean, you have roots in Harlem, of course. Be easy for you to. Just. At the level you're at now. Yeah, you could move up there, have. Have a support base and do it from there. But you're not.
12:01
Jovi Mosconi
I'm not. I mean, it's. It's so easy to say I'm from Harlem, I'm from New York, truth be told. I've been. I've been here 7, 16, 17 years. You know what I mean? So North Carolina is home. I'm. I'm a Durham. Skip the N word to the heart. Yeah. Thermodermite to the heart. Bull City, definitely. So, yeah, it's easy to do that. I'd much rather. I like being from here. I like saying I'm from Daryl and.
12:32
DJ Iron Mic
The rest of the people on. On the. On the squad. Like, you know, Black Trail.
12:36
Jovi Mosconi
Yeah.
12:37
DJ Iron Mic
A lot of our audience isn't. Isn't familiar with his music yet.
12:40
Jovi Mosconi
They will. But when you. They will be.
12:43
DJ Iron Mic
Listen, would you compare them to.
12:45
Jovi Mosconi
The Black Trail is like, see murder and TR put together.
12:53
DJ Iron Mic
To be honest, he like, hopefully without the cases.
12:57
Jooselord
Yeah, we going knock on whatever.
12:59
DJ Iron Mic

14:28
DJ Iron Mic
Wknc 88.1 FM, with the special late edition of the local rap lunch with the homie, Jooselord Magnus.
14:35
Jovi Mosconi
Yes, I.

We are Crossbones. We taking over this pirate radio.

This pirate radio. Dude, that sounded like that was on point for you to do that. That sounded like a recording, bro.
14:52
Jovi Mosconi
Y' all know how I. Y know I be doing the impressions and whatnot.
14:56
DJ Iron Mic
That's crazy. But yeah. So coming into the music break, we listened to Florida man by Joose Lloyd off the new album Facts.
15:03
Jovi Mosconi
One of the only clean songs I can't remember.
15:06
Jooselord
Shout out to Florida, which is crazy.
15:07
Jovi Mosconi
Because it's probably the darkest song. It don't got no curses, and everything else is like. It's angry, but it ain't like that dark.
15:17
Jooselord
Yeah, yeah. Shout out to Florida once again.
15:21
DJ Iron Mic
You know Florida man's always doing it, man.
15:23
Jooselord
Florida man's out here. Florida man got one of the strongest.
15:26
Jovi Mosconi
Brands in the game.
15:27
DJ Iron Mic
Someone needs to Somebody needs to capitalize on that.
15:30
Jovi Mosconi
Yeah. I'm telling you, no ideas out on the radio. Yeah.
15:37
DJ Iron Mic
Yes. And every Florida newspaper is gonna have to get that.
15:42
Jovi Mosconi
Let me get that.
15:43
Jooselord
All right,
15:46
DJ Iron Mic
But yeah, so we got the, we got shock therapy at Kings on Friday night. 13th. Yeah, this Friday. If you've never seen Drew Sloyd perform live, you just, you messed up in the game. If you're listening to this radio station, you pride yourself as like an indie music head. So, you know, I mean, like, so whether it's rap or rock, whatever, if you listen to this station, I have faith in the fact that you're into some good music. So.
16:13
Jooselord
So if you want to brag to all your friends while you enjoying your pomegranate shake inside the mason jar or whatever it is you're doing, your free time, pop out, pomegranate margaritas.
16:22
Jovi Mosconi
Yeah.
16:23
DJ Iron Mic
Oh.
16:23
Jovi Mosconi
All I'm saying is everybody's gonna be there. Yes, My mom.
16:28
DJ Iron Mic
You do bring everyone out, though. I. I try the album release show. You almost.
16:32
Jovi Mosconi
That was a banger, yo. It's a banger, fam. Yo, word to the six called. It was a banger, fam.
16:40
DJ Iron Mic
Big single one. You get me? That's a. Don't talk like that in Canada, yo.
16:46
Jovi Mosconi
Yes, they do, fam. You're crazy, bruv.
16:48
Jooselord
You're wild.
16:48
Jovi Mosconi
You're wiling, fam.
16:50
DJ Iron Mic
Anyway, you almost sold out Motor Cove for the album release. So, I mean, off the snare of your name, you almost sold out the other joint. You did it. Motor Cove. It was the, you know, it was like a month later.
17:03
Jovi Mosconi
Oh, yeah, the, yeah, the fan biz joint. Shout out to fan base.
17:09
DJ Iron Mic
So you have a really good, you have a really good track record of well attended shows. And you've been so. You've been, you've been doing this for what, two years. Two years now. And there's Cats have been doing this for like 15.
17:24
Jovi Mosconi
We're not gonna talk about that because I don't shade people.
17:26
DJ Iron Mic
No, I'm not shaving anyone. I'm not saying no, but I mean, you work hard.
17:30
Jovi Mosconi
I work.
17:31
DJ Iron Mic
You work very hard and that's the difference. You can, you can be in the game for years. And it's that X. It's that X factor.
17:37
Jovi Mosconi
Yeah.
17:38
DJ Iron Mic
Of talent and hard work.
17:40
Jovi Mosconi
I work really hard. Effing hard.
17:43
Jooselord
You do really f. Asterisks. I don't know. Percent sign.
17:48
Jovi Mosconi
Yeah. Hard sleeping in the car.
17:51
DJ Iron Mic
What, what's your, what's probably your biggest motivator and with the level of work you put into not only your live show, but just, you know, everything that goes into your brand.
18:01
Jovi Mosconi
My mother.
18:02
DJ Iron Mic
Okay, mother.
18:03
Jovi Mosconi
I see my mother struggle a lot and I don't want that for her no more. So if this, if me following my dream can pull her out of that, then that's what it's gonna be. If she gonna struggle in the future, it won't be for money.
18:21
DJ Iron Mic
Yeah, facts.
18:24
Jooselord
Agreed.
18:24
DJ Iron Mic
Agreed.
18:26
Jooselord
Yeah.
18:26
DJ Iron Mic
You look like you had something to add on to that.
18:28
Jooselord
Nah, I mean, I was just saying like that's really what we do it all for. The family. I'm saying making sure everybody's put in a better position.
18:34
DJ Iron Mic
And the people.
18:35
Jovi Mosconi
And the people. Not just my mother, my other. My, my. Not that you asked, but I'm gonna get answer anyways. My second thing is the people because like I said, I make political music and a lot of people live and work in an environment in which they don't have that outlet. They don't. They can't say what I say and I say it unfiltered. That's why it's hard to put my music on the radio. Because I don't believe in censoring myself because people shouldn't have to censor their feelings. And my music is. That's what it is. It's my feelings.
19:03
DJ Iron Mic
And you know, like that. That is something I noticed working with you. Like you do have kind of like a civic duty, a sense of civic duty in the way I didn't even.
19:11
Jovi Mosconi
Know I had it when I first started rapping, but the way people was like people walk up to me like, you speak for me and I'm like, I do what?
19:18
DJ Iron Mic
And it's. What's crazy about it is it's not just like the people you would expect.
19:23
Jooselord
Yeah, yeah.
19:23
DJ Iron Mic
To say that.
19:24
Jooselord
Yeah.
19:24
DJ Iron Mic
It's not just black people. It's not just hip hop heads. Like some of your biggest fans of the Pie Face Girls.
19:30
Jooselord
Yeah, I love.
19:33
DJ Iron Mic
Shout outs to the Pie Face Girls cuz they stay coming through to.
19:35
Jooselord
To the show always.
19:38
DJ Iron Mic
But I think that's just a, you know, it just speaks for authenticity. Authenticity kind of supersedes any kind of boundary of race or you know, tasting music or whatever. Like if it's real, it. It is relatable. Like H. Rage against the Machine.
19:55
Jovi Mosconi
Yeah.
19:55
DJ Iron Mic
Or like System of a Down. Those dudes were so real with their energy and they were political too, but put a lot of emotion into it. There were dudes in the Bronx when I grew up rocking out to system of a Downs.
20:08
Jovi Mosconi
Because they were fired.
20:10
DJ Iron Mic
Exactly. So I feel like you have that same kind of energy that kind of just like supersedes on any all those kinds of boundaries.
20:17
Jovi Mosconi
Rage against the Machine. I mean, their name was Rage against the Machine.
20:20
DJ Iron Mic
Yeah.
20:21
Jooselord
You can't really put that in there.
20:22
Jovi Mosconi
That's straight up in you. That's straight up.
20:23
DJ Iron Mic
Yeah.
20:24
Jovi Mosconi
They named not really many ways.
20:26
Jooselord
Not many ways to interpret this.
20:27
DJ Iron Mic
So what are. What are your biggest influences artistically as far as what you music? Not even just musically, just like in what you bring to your show and everything. Not even just music. Like, it can be pop culture, all of it.
20:41
Jovi Mosconi
A really big influence of mine is chocolate milk.
20:46
Jooselord
Only the school box version, because it.

Starts out white and then you put chocolate in it and it's brown. And that's what I want to do to the world.
20:53
DJ Iron Mic
You know what's ironic about that?
20:59
Jooselord
We got our chocolate milk sponsor just like that.
21:02
DJ Iron Mic
I had an uncle on the black side of my family explain that to me about being black when I was like 6 years old, because I was. I. I was upset because some kids told me that I wasn't black. And he was like, nah, Charlie, look, you take milk, you put a little chocolate in it ain't milk anymore. I can't believe I've never told you that story.
21:24
Jooselord
Was he wearing the duress when he said that?
21:26
DJ Iron Mic
Probably. It was like early 90s New York.
21:29
Jovi Mosconi
Yeah. That's so funny.
21:30
DJ Iron Mic
Definitely had Tim's on unlace. But that's crazy. I've never told you that story. And you just came up.
21:37
Jovi Mosconi
I just.
21:38
Jooselord
And your listeners just learned something totally new about you.
21:40
DJ Iron Mic
Right?
21:41
Jovi Mosconi
There you go.
21:42
DJ Iron Mic
That's what it's about. That's what crossbones came from.
21:44
Jooselord
Balls Radio. Balls Radio. We getting it from all aspects, even childhood stories, but not for real.
21:50
DJ Iron Mic
Like, I mean, I know, you know horror movies is a big thing for you.
21:55
Jovi Mosconi
Oh, yeah.
21:56
DJ Iron Mic
Obviously in Florida, man, you do the Friday the 13th.
21:59
Jovi Mosconi
Yeah.
21:59
DJ Iron Mic
Chan. The fact that Friday the 13th is like, seems to be our lucky day.
22:03
Jovi Mosconi
Yeah. It's supposed to be a bad day.
22:06
Jooselord
Yeah. But it's like, yo, it's been pretty good.
22:10
Jovi Mosconi
Yeah, it's been amazing.
22:12
Jooselord
It's been marvelous.
22:13
Jovi Mosconi
Each one. Yeah.
22:15
DJ Iron Mic
So you know, as were talking about, you have people from all over the place feeling your stuff, but especially when it comes to, like, staunch hip hop heads. Everything that's going on recently, there's like the divide in hip hop. It's almost like the divide in hip Hop right now is as bad as the divide and race.
22:31
Jovi Mosconi
Yeah, it is.
22:32
DJ Iron Mic
You know, and everybody. No one really wants to meet in the middle when it comes to that stuff. But for some reason you are able to. You have the kids who are into like Lil Pump and all that into you stuff. And then you have the old heads, they're like, listen, Yo, Blood. Remind me of Busta Rhymes. Yo, Blood.
22:51
Jovi Mosconi
Something great for hip hop. I'm gonna take that right now.
22:53
Jooselord
All this other stuff going on out here in the streets, let me tell you all that.
22:56
Jovi Mosconi
Boo yahya boo.
22:58
Jooselord
Nah, nah, man.
23:01
DJ Iron Mic
So is that something you set out to do or is that just how it came out?
23:06
Jovi Mosconi
I guess that happened because I didn't make music for nobody else. I made music that I like. And I mean, I. I like 6:9, you know what I'm saying? I like XXX before he went, you know what I'm saying? RIP X, you know what I'm saying? I like them, you know what I'm saying? But I also really like WU Tang, you know what I'm saying? I really, really like. You know, I'm saying Jay Z, I love DMX, you know what I'm saying? So for me to love all of these both sides of hip hop, you know, for me, it was just like, yo, I'm gonna just make music that I like.
23:36
Jovi Mosconi
And it just happened to have the kind of hooks that the young boys like and the kind of content that the old heads like, you know what I'm saying? So we meet in the middle.
23:43
DJ Iron Mic
Okay, That's. And I mean, it's coming. The finished product. That's one of the reasons I wanted to work with you, because I. Because I'm one of my favorite. One of my favorite groups to ever do. It was Onyx.
23:55
Jovi Mosconi
Yeah, that was my favorite group when I was young.
23:57
DJ Iron Mic
Yeah, like, they. They were moshing and all that crazy stuff before it was even cool. Yeah.
24:03
Jovi Mosconi
Yep.
24:04
DJ Iron Mic
And the first time I ever saw you perform at Noir, like, I was like, yo, this dude's like, I gotta work with this cat. It just needs to happen somehow. But we're actually out of time. We got another DJ behind us. We were going to crash the radio waves and bother, but they here and invade Riley on it.
24:21
Jooselord
But we'll be doing that. No, let me. Because we can't say certain things.
24:25
DJ Iron Mic
