Anderson .Paak

You know?

And I had been on the road nonstop.

And if I would have kept going with him, he's just coming off that 24 karat.

You know, he just put it on.

So it's like, it's easy to, you know,

get caught up in that where you can be on the road for a long time and you forget or doing different things because it's like, it's fun or because it's like lucrative and stuff.

And then you forget like, okay, well, I still got stuff over here.

I also had a family.

I also had different things going on.

So I had to make a decision.

It was a tough one to be like, okay, I'm going to leave the tour.

I'm going to go work on my album, work on my stuff.

go back, be with the family, and tap in on my own artistry.

As fun as it is to open up, I didn't want to get stuck in being an opener or being some sidekick or something.

Good luck.

Still sold out, Jack.

Ain't nobody coming to see you in the first place.

And so we kept in touch, and we made some music, and it was just like,

right away we hit it off.

I hadn't met anybody that was that talented and was my age and that could make hits and was a mega star.
