Speaker 2:How your week been, bro. It's been a good week, man. I'm coming off my birthday and my daughter's birthday Happy birthday to both of you, man. Gratitude, gratitude. It's been a pretty good week, you know what I'm saying, and today been a good day. Specifically, you know what I'm saying. I ran into some good, unexpected energy earlier is just.
Speaker 3:That's always a beautiful thing, bro. It's been actually a good week, bro.
Speaker 2:You know what I'm saying Straight up it's been a good week. Thanks for asking too. No problem, no problem.
Speaker 1:So I also ask this question too, man. So when I ask people what they working on, I know as an artist, you know they'd be like man, I'm working on this project with this person. This person, I like to phrase it in a, I like to apply it a different way. When I asked you what you working on, I ain't talking about like a project. Well, I'm talking about a project, but the project is you Right? I ain't talking about like the music stuff. What are you working on within yourself this week?
Speaker 2:Um, I've been working on trying to be more present, bro, right, my nigga Like um, nigga like um, you know you could be there and not be there. I know my folks do it all the time, right, right. So, um, you know, you think in the head all the time I gotta do this, gotta do that, whatever, whatever you know I'm saying. So is it like overthinking? I mean, I wouldn't even say overthinking because it come and go, but it just be interrupting like right at the moment.
Speaker 1:Okay, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 2:And I'm learning like I be at my most peaceful when I be super. In that moment. You know what I'm saying, at that very moment. You know what I'm saying. So that's what I've been working on, trying to like, master that shit. You know what I'm saying, that's what's up. Practice it. You know what I'm saying Because you know it mattered to me and anything that mattered to me, I'm going to work on it, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1:And I'm so glad you said that, man, because for me, what I've been working on is the whole concept of we will try to keep our word to other people, but do we keep our word to ourselves? You see what I'm saying. And that's crazy. When you think about it, man like you would tell somebody yeah man, bro, I'm gonna make sure I got you. You know what I'm saying, I'm gonna make sure I come pick you up all this week or whatever. But you didn't tell yourself numerous times I'm gonna go to the gym. Nigga didn't go. You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1:Or somebody say, hey, man, I ain't gonna drink this week you didn't keep your word to yourself, but you'll keep your word to somebody else. You know, what I'm saying. So for me, that's what I'm working on is mainly keeping my word to myself, because I feel like if I can discipline myself to make sure that I'm there and, like you said, being present, being present for myself, I think it's easier for me to be present for somebody else.
Speaker 4:That's dope. Yeah, that's what I'm working on. Yeah, that's dope. So yeah, that's what.
Speaker 1:I'm working on. Yeah, that's ill. Um. So for the people out there, like I said, I didn't say the name so many times Andres Haley. Where's Andres Haley from?
Speaker 2:oh man, I think anybody who ever heard any of my music already know already. Man, I'm from the east side of Chicago. Um Jamal Milgate housing, we call it South C. You know what I'm saying? 8806 South Burley, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1:I love the bar. Yeah, what from Burley Street? Yeah, yeah, yeah, I love it, I love it, I love it. So I know you as Andres Haley, but you had a different name before that. Let the people know what the other name was that business.
Speaker 2:You know what I'm saying? One half of the infamous group. You know what I'm saying? Substance Music. You know what I'm saying. That's where I really got established at. You know what I'm saying? Them Substance Music days. Yeah, yeah, it was dope shit, that business. You know what I'm saying. So it's still today, even with the name switch nobody calls me Andreas Haley, me, they gotta.
Speaker 1:It's your butt, like when I'm off stage and we chilling. Yeah, might as be like biz. That biz, you know what I'm saying. Yeah, because that that business name got stamped, man and, and I can see that.
Speaker 2:So two questions first of all, why that business, but and also why the transition from that business to andres haley um, that business, because I always wanted a name that just said I'm cold, without without me having to say I'm cold. I wanted, like, when you say the words, it means like I'm cold, like that business. That business like man, and that business is self-explanatory, right so? And during that time, I was trying to, like, find who I am as an artist. Okay, okay, I was always. I was always just Dre, you know what?
Speaker 2:I'm saying yeah, Like just Dre Dre be over there rapping and shit that type of shit. You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1:That could have been a name too, just Dre, yeah, yeah, I mean yeah, it could have been you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 2:Yeah, but I have thousand. I'm just I was just like I need you know. I'm saying, and I used to say the word, that business a lot. Okay, I was with shorty gay, shorty that business whatever, whatever.
Speaker 3:Right, you know what I'm saying. He's present. Yeah, you know what I mean.
Speaker 2:So so, uh, I just man, I. I remember hollering at my cousin murk. He was the first one I told I'm like man, I think I got my name. Yeah, I'm that business. You know I'm saying he like man, it's, it's nice, he like, that's a decent name, he like. But you gonna have to, you gonna have to make people like you gonna have to earn that name. Yeah, you know what I'm saying. You gonna have to be on that like random mogs pull up on you. Random, you know what I'm saying, cause mogs are bumping to mogs in them days and you gotta get it in. Gotta give it to him.
Speaker 1:Gotta give it to him. I missed that shit bro, real quick, yeah.
Speaker 2:yeah, I kind of missed it too on the real. You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1:Because you had to spit for motherfuckers. Yeah, yeah, like real talk, like I want to say out south, up north, wherever Over east. You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 2:You had to spit for motherfuck the escalator. Right there by the escalator, you can get it, bro. Don't run up on me like that. You know what I'm saying. Yeah, gave it to him right there, bro. Boom, catch this. It's like 24. Boom, boom. You know what I'm saying? Damn, right there in the water tower. I think part of it was low-key, filmed like a very small piece. That's good, though random and it was so ill because me and Gordo had the photographer with us that day.
Speaker 2:We just happened to be downtown taking flicks on the real life bro, real life universe universe, you know what I'm saying that's what made me come up with the name that business. You know what I'm saying. Like I just wanted something that felt like, yeah, you know what I'm saying when you hear you gonna be like who, this mind think you got a ring to it.
Speaker 1:You know what I'm rock.
Speaker 2:You're gonna be interested, or you're gonna already hate like that business. Like who does nigga think he is you know what I'm saying like. Or you're gonna be interested, like to hear it one or the other, it's definitely marketable.
Speaker 2:Yeah, and then the name chains came from just, you know, life growth. Yeah, I had. I had been through so much in my life at at the time, at the moment when, when I was going through shit, it was my first time battling. I had an anxiety attack. I was battling depression. I had never really, you know what I'm saying. Even growing up in the hood, I might have been depressed, without knowing it, but that's different. You just living every day, but when you feel it on you, when you losing weight, when you you losing weight, when you moving different, when you acting different, you know what I'm saying. So this was like it was a battle. You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1:Yeah, no, I feel you, I feel you and, bro, I commend you for putting that out there, man, cause it's you would be amazed at how many motherfuckers are experiencing that same shit and don't even fucking realize it you know what?
Speaker 1:I'm saying and it's like for black men, how can we really even address this shit? Ayo, we gotta take a break real quick and man shout out to all the motherfuckers out there man that tried to run up on motherfuckers at the water tower or Evergreen Plaza, man, you got your ass served Now that shit on camera Yo goof ass.

Speaker 1:Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah. We are not back at the Shiz Podcast man and we're in this motherfucker man. I got my man, andres Haley, in this motherfucker aka that Business and so you was talking about the transition from that Business to Andres Haley and just some things that you was going through, some personal things you was going through. So, when you think about that, how were you able to take everything, or at least a major portion of the stuff that you was going to going through, and channel that into your music and use that shit as therapy, bro Well, before the music.
Speaker 2:I had to hold myself accountable for a lot of things I had did before I could even get back to the music Like that's why I say, bro, I was really having a like my mom's at past. Yeah, I was really going through it. Then my pops had just passed, you know.
Speaker 1:I'm saying both of them yeah.
Speaker 2:So it was like I really had to, was going through like bigger than music. So I had to take accountability for a lot of things. I did good and bad. A lot of shit. I let slide a lot of shit I shouldn't have let slide, like a lot of things, bro. And through it all I just felt like, man, I don't want, I ain't hiding from nothing. No more, ever again in life. You know I'm saying so. I'm gonna just go back my real name that my mother and father gave me, and it honored them. But I'm just like I ain't got nothing to hide. No more, bro. I've been through everything. I was homeless. Bro mogs don't know none of that. Bro, I swear to god, I slept on the train, bro, not for long, not for long. I don't want to act like that, but just you know what I'm saying it was real, though.
Speaker 2:You know what I'm saying. It was, it was a bad, it was a dark time and I came back up and then boom, it's just like man, me yo, andreas Haley. Now everybody know I'm, I'm that business, but but it was just like a way of just being free man. Anything I went through. I felt like I came out shining and I just wanted to be like. You know, moms and pops, what up, it's just me, andreas haley. You know what I'm saying hey bro I ain't gonna lie to you, man.
Speaker 2:It's cons to it, dude, it's cons to it. Though, because I can't do nothing, I can't hide, you know, you can hide behind that shit everybody know it.
Speaker 1:Google that nigga. You know it's right. There we're. Hey, bro, I got to be honest with you, man, I was familiar, I was definitely familiar with Substance. You know what I'm saying, you and Gordo. However, bro, it was just something. I ain't going to lie to you, man, it was just something when you went and you start using the Andres Haley, like, and you start using the Andreas Haley, like, using that name, it was just something in the music where I was listening to it, like, to me it kind of felt like it was a change in the music. You know what I'm saying. Like it felt more personal, you know what I'm saying. Like, the shit that you was putting out there, like it seemed like it was definitely that boom bap, that hard ass rap, but what I liked about it was it was sold in that shit, bro, not to say that you know, substance wasn't.
Speaker 2:I know what you mean.
Speaker 1:But it was like your personal. It's like you was putting your personal shit out there in a dope ass way.
Speaker 1:You know, what I'm saying. So, like I always tell motherfuckers man, one of the coldest albums for me, man, is Real Life Rap. I bump that shit damn near every day, bro. Yeah, and one of the things that stand out to me is I think you have been able to embody a Chicago sound. See what I'm saying. Like a Chicago sound that sounds like you ain't. You know how they say New York motherfucker sound Like nigga. You sound like a motherfucker from Chicago that's just talking on his motherfucking, motherfucking songs. You know what I'm saying and that's what I like about it. So was it a challenge to do that? Like, did you ever feel like I need to switch it up? I need I gotta go do a rewrite so it sound different, or whatever you know. I'm saying, like, how did you, how were you able to really like embody that sound like that?
Speaker 2:man, bro, it just, it's just been through the growth like years of like coaching, like years of veda telling me, like, stop having a rap voice, like just rap, how you rap with your voice. Like years of people telling me things, bro, that finally clicked when I went through all that. You know it just it was like so I felt more free, I was able to write more freer.
Speaker 2:You know more natural, more natural, yeah, freer, yeah, but you know what I'm saying. I was saying so I felt, um and and believe it or not, even going by the name change, even going by my real name, made me feel like a new artist again in a sense. You know what i'm'm saying Because I had mogs hitting me up from, like third grade bro, because when you that's a familiar name, like if you knew, like if you knew somebody in third grade named Andreas Haley, and you see something come across your screen about Andreas Haley performing, you like it can't be him. And you look and it's me for real, in this in this me for real.
Speaker 2:It's like that's that nigga, that's my business, that's that, that's dude, that's from jane thorpe, boom. You know I'm saying so. I the music, felt fresh again and, like I say, after everything I had went through, I'm like all, right now I'm ready to rap again. Yeah, yeah, like, even though I was putting albums out when I was going through it down, they ain't good to me. They sound like depressing, depressing music. You know what I'm saying to me personally.
Speaker 1:But you never know, bro, that could be the shit that'll get somebody through their day and you don't even realize it. You see what I'm saying because somebody else hearing it and they hear it and they like, damn, this motherfucker going through the same shit I'm going through and the B-code, you know what I'm saying. And then it's like, and like you said, I better told you don't use the like you rapping rap.
Speaker 2:You know what I'm saying, use it like you talking to him, talk to him and say that way man, when you wanna, when that feeling come for real, it's gonna come out through your voice for real, Instead of it just sounding like a bar. Right, it's going. They going to know you. That was real, everything real. But you get what I'm saying?
Speaker 1:No, I get it. I get it. And the only reason why I'm laughing, man, because I think about the line when I first heard it. And I laughed my ass off when I first heard it Because you was like yo get your goof ass out of here. Like it was like, and I heard on the thing, I was like nigga, it sound like that nigga wasn't rapping, that. It sound like he just got on the mic and somebody did some stupid shit and he just said it.
Speaker 2:Shout out my cousin Boo man. I was kicking it with my cousin Boo man and we was smoking, we was chilling, just kicking it, and somebody had did some shit like in front of us Cuz like this goof ass nigga. And when he said it I laughed so hard at the shit dude was doing. I say, man, I'm gonna go to the crib and I'm gonna write a verse tonight. I'm gonna start it saying get your goof ass out of here, swear to god, you know what I'm saying. And then I went and did it. And then I like, two days later I went and recorded the verse.
Speaker 1:Yeah, boom that shit sound dope. I can't lie to you, but it just sound dope.
Speaker 2:Yeah, yeah, and that's some chicago shit, man, like it is. I realized when I started traveling, man, when we was traveling and that stuff and shit, I realized like I never I hadn't been outside the city too much. You know what I'm saying. So I ain't never really felt like Chicago mocks had an accent. I just felt like we, just us, you know what I'm saying Until you go somewhere else.
Speaker 1:Until you go somewhere else, maybe somewhere else, and they'd be like where you from, like yeah, yeah, get your goofy ass out of there. Exactly you know what I'm saying so when you started thinking about beats, man cause, like I think, the beats that you use, man like it works you know what I'm saying how important is it to you beat selection on a project? And also, do you think a motherfucker can make a dope record off an average beat?
Speaker 2:I first yes, you can definitely make a dope record off an average beat. It's definitely possible. I'll come back to that. As far as the beat selection, bro, shit man, when I was partners with Gordo, like certain, I feel like Moggs always had a better ear than me. Okay, my homie Dawi had a great ear, great beat selection. Gordo, great beat selector, you know what I'm saying. Even Cuzzo Merc great beat selector. So, and Moggs used to tell me that I didn't pick dope beats. Oh, you know what I'm saying. To be quite honest, yeah, not all the time, but like certain ones, like, ah, you know what I'm saying. And, um, I guess, through years of that, I just I kinda I think I'm developing the ear. But I think I'm developing the ear for, like, knowing who I am.
Speaker 1:So I know, I know what I get in the pocket.
Speaker 2:Yeah, yeah, like. So, like, every beat ain't the same, but every beat is fitting for me, right? You?
Speaker 2:know what I'm saying all the beats on every album I put out. All the beats is up and down, they is everywhere. None of it sound the same. Yeah, you know I'm saying but, but they all are right for for how I could be, yeah, type, you know I'm saying so I feel you, I'm just learning my sound, man, and shout out to all the producers that have been blessing me man, I'm telling you it's nasty outside, whoo so, speaking of such cause, you work with a lot of producers.
Speaker 1:You know what I'm saying. So when you start to think about the producers that you work with, can you speak about the chemistry that you have with these different producers, and does that chemistry navigate the record or does that chemistry navigate the project? You know what I'm saying. Just say life. Oh man, my bad, all right, we're gonna take a break real quick. Ayo, shout out to motherfuckers that get caught up in the questions and they don't see the cadres with his finger up saying wrap that shit up. I'm talking about my stupid ass. Man, it's the Shits Podcast.
Speaker 4:Man, it's the Shits, it's comedian Marnie P checking in from the Shits Podcast. What's up, man, what's up, it's all good. Yo check it. Black male from the ghetto. You know the story. Substitute whatever your block is for. Burly 91st brought the flow, made a nigga worldly is avoid the beast.
Speaker 1:I don't know, y'all better get up on it, man. Yo, I heard that shit bro, and the beat just sound different as fuck to me. You know what I'm saying. Yo, I heard that shit bro, and the beat just sound different as fuck to me. You know what I'm saying. It sound different as hell. So, like I said, the question was the chemistry that you have with different producers, and how does that chemistry navigate the record? You know what I'm saying. How does it? You know what I'm saying or does it make you go a different direction with the record? You know I'm saying. How does it? You know I'm saying does it or does it or does it make you go a different direction with the record, depending on the producer? You know I'm saying um, the chemistry definitely matter with the producer, you know I'm
Speaker 2:saying, um, but some joints is just like, like I had been no audacity. You know what I'm saying. Yeah, like we both done, did shows together and, you know, been in numerous places together, and so when I finally got some tracks from him, that was one of them, and I'm like man, you know this joint, different it is. You know what I'm saying. And I'm going to say something, joe, like I'm a huge Black Thought fan and I'm a fan of how black thoughts get on, how black thought get on beats that's like 90 bpms and better and just glide.
Speaker 2:He just be on them joints, like like you're doing shit. You know what I'm saying. And on certain tracks I'll be like man, this like a I'm a, I'm a ride. I'm gonna try to ride this one like a, like a black thought type. You know what I'm saying. So that was my mindset coming in. It don't sound nothing a Black Thought type. You know what I'm saying. So that was my mindset coming in. It don't sound nothing like Black Thought at all. You know what I'm saying. But my mindset was to just rapid fire, just flowing. You know what I'm saying. So, yeah, and that track was just different, shout out, audacity, like I say. And then, yeah, it mattered, like the energy we produce, it mattered more.
Speaker 2:I feel like when I'm locking in to do whole albums, okay like I could just get a track from somebody and just lace a track, any track, you know I'm saying but um, like when you, when you're trying to do projects, the whole project.
Speaker 1:It's different. Yeah, it is different.
Speaker 2:You, you want, you want the energy to coincide. Um, you know y'all, y'all want to be linked in, like the consistency.
Speaker 2:Yeah yeah you know I'm saying so, um, you know, and every everybody I've done a full album with, I feel like I've been locked in. At least you know what I'm saying at those moments. You know what I'm saying. Vader is the ace in the hole. Vader, vader. I've been going to Vader since I was you know what I'm saying a young youth, as Ray would say yeah, you know what I'm saying. So, yeah, you know what I'm saying. But this new joint I got was custom made made, bro. It's nasty outside. It was like I've been hearing you speak about it. Yeah, yeah, man, I'm excited about it. It's just, it's almost. It's finishing touches, bro, and I'm excited, though you know I'm saying like and and that's what I mean, bro like this the first time I feel excited again to drop some music and oh, they gotta be one of the well before, they gotta be one of the best feelings.

So I ain't necessarily mad at the content, but what I am mad at is like bringing all of the day-to-day gangbang into the hip hop Like niggas on the block, pop fam, and then y'all go to the studio and do a song about it. That's way too. That's too much, man you know, what I'm saying.
Speaker 2:Then y'all on, live, on, like people getting killed on live and all that. It's different. This generation is different. It's like they don't care about being alive. Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 3:They're desensitized.
Speaker 2:Yeah, yeah, yeah, as a motherfucker, they've been doing a job on us for a while, bro. I remember when the internet first jaded down. You know what I'm saying yeah, yeah, yeah, it was crazy.
Speaker 1:So, speaking of such man, you got a song. I feel like there's some lines that you dropped in there that talked about.
Speaker 2:Man first off, thank you for even acknowledging the juke.
Speaker 3:Man, that shit cold as fuck.
Speaker 2:I dropped that project, bro. It's only seven songs, uh-huh. No one ever talks about the juke. Mog's telling me about numerous other songs. Mog like to join Osco. I got with Gordo. Yeah, people tell me their favorite song is Bars with Blaze B. That's cultural, but ain't no until you, bro, you the first person.
Speaker 1:So thank you. Hey man, no problem, take knowledge in the juke man man. Hey look bro, nigga. You said taking pills just to get an erection. The juke bro. The juke. So explain that for people. That for people that don't understand the juke, explain it man, the juke is the overlay.
Speaker 2:For the underlay, the juke is the hey, come over here. Everything is love gotcha it's not love.
Speaker 2:You know I'm saying it's not what we said it was. You know I'm saying like, like I, I got a line in there I say think, think about this, bro. This happened in real life, right? So I just want to be clear about all my lyrics. Like this is we all saw this happen with our own eyes.
Speaker 2:We all grew up eating chicken nuggets from McDonald's. All of us, if you 80s babies, 90s babies, even 2000s, whatever, I don't know what year, but we all remember the year where they said chicken nuggets now made with the real meat, the white meat. Now, in 2000, something Right, they said this what was it made with? Before? It was just six piece nuggets, Six piece now made with all white meat. So so, mog, tell me, man, they just saying, like before they probably was using the dark meat. Hey, man, listen. Nevertheless, nigga, you know what I'm saying. I don't think none of that shit is. It's all a juke, bro. Yeah, it's all a juke bro. It's all poison, a lot of stuff. You know what I'm saying, but I tried to put it in song form, but it might have been too, you know. But I said the juke because it's like you know what I'm saying, they juking you.
Speaker 1:It's like I got it as soon as I heard it.
Speaker 2:I got it. Yeah, you know what I'm saying. And it's like, it's regular though, bro, like, because we born in it, like got a tab on you from birth. Bro, that's you, nigga. I got the number. Yeah, andreas Haley, that business, whatever. Nigga. You this number, you the number as far as American citizenship. You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1:And I feel like this. When I say GPS juke bro, I look at it like that's the shit motherfuckers should be peeping because it's informative and it's entertaining. You get what I'm saying. So that's what really got me about it, cause it's like even the way you arranged it you know what I'm saying. You know the way you arranged the song I was like that shit dope. It's clever and the lyrics was clever and the beat was dope. So that's why I really gravitated towards it.
Speaker 2:I was like man, that's one of my favorite motherfucking songs right there. It's one of the favorite joints I wrote. I had the little boy shit skid at the beginning off the Bloodsport. A dude said don't fall for the trick. A dude said don't fall for the trick On the real Joe. I like doing stuff like that.
Speaker 1:Joe, the crazy shit about it is still falling for it. Hey, y'all, man, we gotta take a break real quick. Hey, shout out to all the motherfuckers out there, man, that uh still eating them nuggets and fuck it, man. 10, you on my nigga. It's just podcast, man, it's the shit for all erotic needs and fantasy needs.
Speaker 1:Please contact coldpleasures, that's c-o-l-pleasures dot com yeah, yeah, yeah yeah, we're now back at the Shiz Podcast, man, and we're in here. Man Woman Andres Haley, man, dope-ass lyricist out to the Chicago man. Hey, man, let me tell y'all something, real shit. Y'all make sure y'all get up on all his music, man.
Speaker 2:Hey, matter of fact, tell them any all the shit. I want to find all the DSPs you know I'm saying. Just type in address Haley, that's a and dr e a us. That's Andreas. Last name Haley H a le why I'm saying a and dr e a us H a le why any of that. I told Spotify, google Play or just what you know wherever music be, and and on all the social medias that's my name tick, tiktok, twitter, instagram, facebook.
Speaker 2:It's all me, andreas Haley you know what I'm saying you can get that music while you're waiting on this new joint. You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1:Hey, man, I know motherfuckers, hey, I've been hearing motherfuckers speak about your body of work, so I know they're going to feel the new shit coming out. Your body of work, so I know they're gonna feel a new shit coming out. So when you start to think about, like you got your own stuff, that you do your own projects, but then people ask you to hop on they shit, right. So when you think about that, what's the difference in murdering somebody on they own shit compared to being competitive? Is it a difference?
Speaker 2:um, it is a difference, um, because when I'm when I'm just writing my own shit, I'm just on whatever I'm on right, it's just the juke joint, whatever you know, what I'm saying, um, but when somebody got me on a feature, um, either they, if they give me a particular topic or if they just like man, just do you.
Speaker 2:You know what I'm saying? Um, I ain't necessarily I don't like to come in with the mindset to to murder the other mc, but I do come in with the mindset to make my stamp as, as like it don't matter what you, what your verse is, it's not even about you. At this point, it's like nigga, this is time for me to come on this other track, get some other fan base.
