00:02 (cracking)
00:14 Hey everybody, it's Candid Man,
00:21 and this is my mind massage.
00:24 (sniffs)
00:27 I'm gonna take you through a sound journey
00:29 using some of my favorite things.
00:32 (lips smacking)
00:36 (slurps)
00:40 (blows)
00:43 (cracking)
00:51 (cracking)
00:53 I like EOS because it goes on smooth
01:11 and it doesn't make my lips greasy.
01:16 I don't know how to open this, guys.
01:19 I think I need a little help.
01:21 Oh, nevermind.
01:22 Not that complicated.
01:25 I like the Pink One because it's my favorite color.
01:30 And it's like a little ball,
01:32 it's like rubbing balls on your lips.
01:35 (lips smacking)
01:38 Smooth.
01:42 Also, I always gotta top it off with my lip gloss.
01:48 My best friend's line, Meraki Kisses.
01:51 It sounds familiar, doesn't it?
01:53 (lips smacking)
01:55 Easy breezy beautiful ghetto bitch.
02:02 (lips smacking)
02:04 Being from Houston inspires my music.
02:07 I feel like it's just,
02:09 everybody's a little different there.
02:11 I don't feel like we have one particular sound.
02:14 All of the artists are unique,
02:16 and I just feel like that's what Houston is.
02:18 We're not a sound, we're a movement in each special way.
02:22 So, sometimes you don't even know where we're from.
02:25 The way I would describe my music in two words is bad bitch.
02:30 (lips smacking)
02:35 Let me see how I like it.
02:38 Does that turn you on?
02:41 Like my nails, does that turn you on?
02:45 My EP title, Back to 304, just means back to whoring,
02:49 because back to the streets we all go after a heartbreak.
02:54 After no heartbreak, maybe you're just a cheater.
02:57 We all support cheaters here too.
03:00 Just back to the streets, whichever way,
03:02 whatever street you want, you're just back on it.
03:04 (lips smacking)
03:07 (glass clinking)
03:09 I love lemonade, it's my favorite drink.
03:18 (lips smacking)
03:22 I can rap to this shit if I wanted to, bitch.
03:30 (lips smacking)
03:36 Oh, I like my name.
03:37 We love it.
03:39 You can't drink lemonade without ice.
03:43 (lips smacking)
03:46 Shake it first.
03:54 (lips smacking)
03:57 (thudding)
03:59 That sounds kinda nice.
04:08 (liquid pouring)
04:11 I know y'all wanna drink some.
04:16 Oh.
04:20 These ain't got that much bending power.
04:25 (lips smacking)
04:28 Remind me of a summer day.
04:34 Lemonade, dang it.
04:35 (lips smacking)
04:39 If I could make a signature cocktail based around my music,
04:43 it would definitely have some Cosamigo in it,
04:46 because it gets you loose.
04:47 It would have something with raspberry,
04:50 definitely something with lemon, lemonade,
04:53 maybe a little mint.
04:55 You just shake it up or you muddle it or something.
04:58 And then just make sure it's like
05:00 seven shots of Cosamigo, though.
05:03 Double shots.
05:04 If I could collaborate with any artist dead or alive,
05:10 it would probably be Tupac and Drake.
05:15 Tupac is crazy, I feel like the Gemini energy
05:18 would be unmatched.
05:20 And with Drake, it's like,
05:22 "Ugh, I'm gonna be number one on the charts.
05:24 "Who wouldn't want that?"
05:26 Just saying.
05:27 (slurping)
05:31 I've never cut a giant watermelon before.
05:41 I'm lazy.
05:42 So I just get it already chopped up.
05:46 Ugh.
05:49 And truth of thoughts,
05:54 (thudding)
05:56 where do I even start?
06:01 Oh, it's a good slice.
06:04 This is a good knife, that's a good knife, Savannah.
06:09 Oh.
06:15 Oh yeah, baby.
06:17 Look at that.
06:19 It's beautiful.
06:21 (slicing)
06:23 I want the inside because I just feel like it's sweeter
06:27 in here.
06:28 (thudding)
06:32 I see why y'all like this.
06:40 Yum.
06:41 Oh yes.
06:44 I've been waiting on this the whole trip.
06:50 (slicing)
06:52 I know everybody back there wants some.
06:55 But I licked it so they can't hear.
06:59 Something about me that people may be surprised about
07:07 is that I like to lay down and I don't twerk in the club.
07:12 It might sound like it 'cause I make ratchet music,
07:14 but I can't dance very well.
07:16 So I won't embarrass myself.
07:18 I sit down, but I'm still a good time.
07:21 You gotta have lemon with it, it's just no other way.
07:27 I didn't know I had to put stuff down quiet,
07:36 do it in person.
07:38 I just thought I had to whisper.
07:47 It's so refreshing, tastes like lemonade.
07:49 And y'all know my favorite drink is lemonade.
07:52 So when you do this,
07:54 it just...
07:57 (slicing)
08:01 Oh wow.
08:02 Just cut it in half, I'm scared of this knife.
08:09 (thudding)
08:14 Oh!
08:16 (laughing)
08:18 My favorite song would have to be...
08:21 Maybe not my favorite.
08:29 Because they just don't be your favorite ever.
08:33 They so bad, ew.
08:34 They just not good people.
08:38 They don't do good things.
08:40 Oh, it's about to be good, y'all.
08:43 Oh!
08:44 (slicing)
08:47 Oh!
08:48 (laughing)
08:50 Wow!
08:51 This is outstanding.
08:54 Oh my God.
08:57 This is so black to me.
09:00 (slurping)
09:02 Oh my God.
09:04 I'm taking this shit home.
09:13 (slurping)
09:16 (smacking)
09:18 I feel like Keith Lee.
09:22 That is a 9.9 out of 10.
09:24 It feels amazing to be signed to Roc Nation
09:31 because it's just so free.
09:34 I just do whatever.
09:36 I just come in, do whatever, make music.
09:39 They laugh, they enjoy me.
09:42 It's a beautiful space to be in.
09:45 (slurping)
09:47 These are kinda loud, guys.
09:58 You know how you in the kitchen at night
10:04 and you're not supposed to be there?
10:06 You can't eat no chips.
10:07 You gotta take them up to your room.
10:10 (crunching)
10:12 These are my favorite chips.
10:17 I can even eat them on an empty stomach for breakfast
10:19 and that's kinda weird 'cause it burn the lining up,
10:22 but I just enjoy it.
10:24 And I kinda feel like they should've did these
10:26 before the watermelon 'cause now I'ma be thirsty
10:30 and my mouth gonna be hot.
10:32 Oh!
10:37 Best chip.
10:39 (crunching)
10:42 The most surreal moment in my career
10:45 would probably have to be, well, I got two.
10:47 First, when I was double XL.
10:50 Okay, I got three.
10:51 Second is when I was doing the Hip Hop Award cipher.
10:55 (scoffs)
10:56 Crazy, we watching that shit from children.
10:59 Although I'm a grown up and now I'm on it.
11:02 That's nuts.
11:03 Third, be getting signed to Roc Nation
11:06 because I never knew that was gonna happen.
11:09 I knew it was something big, but whoever thought.
11:13 (crunching)
11:16 Some advice I can give to aspiring rappers
11:22 is never give up.
11:23 Stay super consistent.
11:26 Don't be afraid to make mistakes.
11:28 Don't be afraid to experiment.
11:30 Don't be afraid to try music.
11:32 And just keep going and going and going
11:34 and do not take no for an answer.
11:36 Like what I did, look at me.
11:38 I'm doing ASMR.
11:39 F yous.
11:41 My best self love advice is to take time for yourself
11:47 and do what you wanna do and also be selfish with yourself.
11:51 Not saying be stingy, but saying be selfish.
11:56 Meaning put you first, no matter what,
11:59 because why would you get anxiety behind another mother?
12:03 That ain't none of your damn business.
12:05 And say no, you better mother fucker say no
12:08 'cause these motherfuckers be saying no to you.
12:10 So to love yourself, you gotta be the mean person sometimes
12:13 and you gotta put yourself first.
12:15 And just go take a bath with Epsom salt or some shit
12:18 and put a candle and then some bath bubbles or some shit.
12:22 Take a hot shower, cold, whatever you prefer.
12:24 Go jog, get fit, eat some watermelon with lemon.
12:28 I don't know, but just do it for you.
12:32 (water splashing)
