Maul is from fucking hip hop royalty.

He's royalty, yeah.

The amount of calls I have gotten with people I've worked with like, yo, can you say this?

Nah.

Or get mad at you when you start saying shit on the microphone.

My pain is not for sale.

It becomes very taxing of like, yo, we worked together for 10 years at Universal.

Okay.

I'm not going to say nothing disrespectful, but I'm always going to have my opinion.

Have you ran into that at all?

You know, this is, this has been the hardest journey for me.

And I feel like I'm just getting into the place where I'm having fun.

Like, like I got online and start talking out of desperation.

Like, it wasn't like I wanted to, like,

if I didn't write this letter, Dear White Music Execs, I'm probably EVP or president of a label right now.

So I wrote a letter that put a light on me that made my peers see me as black.

I was clear.

So like, I would be in a room working on records for...

for Zara Larson, Pussycat Dolls, all these pop acts.

And they'll ask me what I think.
