Chicago Hustle, Heart, And Stagecraft
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Joy can be a radical act on a Chicago stage. We sit down with the C.R.E.A.M Girls—Indica and CookieNoMilk—to unpack how routines, faith, and a gritty sense of humor keep them balanced while they chase bigger rooms and brighter lights. From West Side roots to synchronized performances, they show how therapy, poetry, and family history turned into a sound that’s equal parts fun and fearless.
We go deep on the craft. Why stage presence matters as much as bars. How image communicates intent. What open mics can unlock when you treat them like headline sets. The C.R.E.A.M Girls explain why audience engagement isn’t optional, how a signature handshake and coordinated fits make you memorable, and why artists should invest in performance planning, not just studio time. They name-check influences from Mary J. and Drew Hill to J. Cole and Durk, then draw a clean line between nostalgia, lyricism, and energy that moves a room.
The most powerful moment centers on “Holding On,” a record born from personal loss. CookieNoMilk opens up about grief, resilience, and using music to speak when words fail. From there, we widen the lens: what today’s hip-hop is missing—respect for women and room for maturity—and how the city can win with less gatekeeping and more honest guidance. We talk dream collabs, the difference between BET and the Grammys, and why Chicago’s indie film scene needs stronger scripts, rehearsal, and coaching to match its ambition.
If you care about artist development, community building, and the unglamorous habits that lead to stage-ready magic, this one hits home. Tap in, share it with a friend who’s grinding toward their first big look, and leave a review so more Chicago artists can find these gems.

Um, so this week uh on the shits podcast, uh, my guest to the show is uh some interesting performers. I had a chance, I had the opportunity, I was blessed with the opportunity to check them out at uh Boulevard Sports Lounge like a couple of weeks ago. They came through and performing. They they they tore that shit up. The the the stage presence was dope, the lyrics was dope. Hey man, they had a motherfucking handshake and a motherfucking dance to that shit too. It was it was it was dope as hell. Uh so with no further ado, I want y'all to put y'all hands together for I'm hoping saying it right, Indica and Cookies No Milk, also known as the cream girls, y'all. Yeah, yeah.
SPEAKER_13Hey, y'all good.

Mental Health Check-In
SPEAKER_07So, first of all, thank y'all for hopping on the podcast. Uh, I appreciate it. Um, guys, and uh on the podcast, what we like to do is um we like to do a check-in with our guests. So, since y'all are a phenomenal guest this week, uh always ask the question, what are you working on? And when I say what you're working on, I don't mean like music-wise, I mean like mentally, like emotionally, what are you working on within yourself this week?
SPEAKER_04Okay, well, thank you very much.
SPEAKER_05Okay, so for me, I've been working on basically budgeting better, I've been working on like my mindset as a whole, because you know, us as women, a lot of us, especially Chicago women, have PTSD, you know, bipolar depression, things like that. So, you know, those are things that I do deal with. So it's like for me, keeping my mental right is good. So I like to keep myself in routines, I like to make sure that you know when I wake up in the mornings that I actually fully wake up, I don't just hop out the bed right away. Like, yeah, you gotta get yourself together, you know. But working on my mental health has definitely been an everyday thing for me.
SPEAKER_07Okay, okay. So cookie, no milk, no milk.
SPEAKER_03Um, pretty much everything in the can said, and also um just working on being a better, the best version of myself each and every day that God, you know, wake me up this morning, bring oxygen to my lungs. You feel me? I just try to strive to do better each and every day. Um also um just living life, trying to take more trips, trying to um pretty much get our name out there.
Chicago’s Beauty And Weight
SPEAKER_07Um yeah, so that's okay, okay. So I feel y'all on all that, and then and I I really do appreciate that um you spoke about the whole Chicago aspect of it and the PTSD, um, and just maintaining your mental a positive mind state. You get what I'm saying? Because I think like motherfuckers need to understand that where we come from, it it's not a soft, it's not a soft place. Not saying that it's it's a hellhole, like Trump try to put it, you know what I'm saying? But like it's not soft, but it's a beautiful city. It's it's a beautiful city, and it got a lot of good shit to it. However, it can be some shit that motherfuckers go through that can weigh on your ass. You know what I'm saying? And maintaining your mental, your mental, um, that mental balance is important. Um and y'all also said about getting your name out there. I want to speak on this. When y'all came through Boulevard, I like the fact that y'all had stage presence. You know what I'm saying? Um I think that what I've been seeing um from uh a lot of women that do uh hip hop, rap, whatever you want to call it, y'all been putting the fun back into it.
SPEAKER_11Right.
SPEAKER_07You know what I'm saying? And I and I like to see, you know, y'all was to y'all was together, y'all was in sync, you know what I'm saying? And and I I appreciated that. Me and y'all could spit too, but I like that y'all brought that fun into it, and I thought it was dope that and I thought it resonated with the crowd too, because you can see motherfuckers in the crowd that was feeling it, and it was like the energy that y'all was giving off was being picked up by motherfuckers in the crowd. So I thought that was real dope. Um my first question is um, why why the name cream girls?
SPEAKER_05Cash crews, everything around. We just boss, you know, we boss women, like, and we love making money, you know what I'm saying? We go out and get it every day. We hustle, like we do what we gotta do, you know.
SPEAKER_07Okay, okay. So with that being said, what was what has been your worst hustle? What is what has been the hustle that you felt like fuck? I hate that I gotta go out here and and and go to this bullshit ass job or whatever. Like, what has been the worst one?
SPEAKER_05Ooh, we I had a door-to-door sales job at one point.
SPEAKER_07Oh, okay. When you said door-to-door, I already fucking knew. Yeah. So like I I really be feeling for motherfuckers that gotta do the door-to-door shit like straight up, like you have to really, yeah, like you gotta be a strong motherfucker to be able to handle that much rejection in one day, you know what I'm saying? Like, calling a motherfucker over the phone is different because somebody hangs up, you don't care. But if you see a motherfucker through the window come to their door and then they leave back, like that's the whole other different level of rejection. Yeah, like straight up.
SPEAKER_05And you see some crazy stuff when you out there too, yes. Yeah, I was in Kakakee. This is my worst time. Like, I was in Kakka Key, I was in the middle of a cell, and they just start shooting on the block I was on. I was like, bro, what? I'm not even interested no more.
SPEAKER_03When you know, Kenka Key flight that you got some looking out there, so yeah, yeah.
SPEAKER_07That's crazy. Um, so I so I uh I'm well, I hope this is not a stupid question, but I was taught that this the dumbest question is the one that you don't ask, right? So my question to y'all is where y'all from?
SPEAKER_11Chicago.
SPEAKER_07Okay, she was like, Yeah, nigga, Chicago. Like, what part of Chicago?
SPEAKER_03Cape Side. West Side, Cape Town, yeah.
SPEAKER_07West side, yes. All right, cool, cool, cool. So, do you think that Chicago has molded you into the person, into the people that y'all are to this day? And if so, if so, how?
Why The Cream Girls
SPEAKER_03Um go ahead. Um, yeah, I definitely will say that definitely played a major role. Because I mean, I'm born and from Chicago, been living in Chicago pretty much all my life. I mean, don't get me wrong, a few years I've been in the birds as well. But yeah, a lot of the things that I didn't grew up seeing um at an early age um that made that made me kind of want to impact um my city in a better way and be a better role model for the youth, the upcoming youth now.
SPEAKER_11Yeah.
SPEAKER_03Um, and be um, yeah, just be more of a sort of a uh role model, a positive role model to them instead of better example for them, you know. Um because me growing up, I would say Tupac, he definitely impacted me a lot, listening to him growing up and how he, you know, was all about world peace and wanted to make a difference, wanting to make a change and stuff. And I just feel like, you know, that's what I'm counting on now.
SPEAKER_07Okay, okay, okay. Um, so you feel like that's how that that's how so what about you, Indica, right?
SPEAKER_05Yes, okay.
SPEAKER_07What about you?
SPEAKER_05Um, Chicago definitely impacted my life a lot growing up. Um I was already book smart, you know, from having my both my parents and my life. Um, you know, so they taught me to make sure I stay in school, but I also learned how to be street smart from just living in Chicago. So it's like I have the best of both. Um, I've also lived in the city and the suburbs, so I have the best of both is that for that as well. Um, and just seeing like how different people live their lives based on where they live, and it's crazy because of the things you see and don't see. Like Chicago definitely put me through a lot. Um, it's an emotional roller coaster, but I love my city. Yeah, and I'm arrived for my city.
SPEAKER_07Oh, that's what's up. That's what's up. I think that's um I think that's very important because like, you know, sometimes you have people that feel like they want to make it so they can get the fuck up out of somewhere. Um, I think it's a difference when you have people that feel like I want to make it so I can make my city better. You know what I'm saying? So I can represent more for my city, so I can represent more positively for my city. Because I feel like people need to understand, like, it's not the place that make the people, it's the people that make the place.
SPEAKER_13Exactly, yeah.
SPEAKER_07That shit might be on a t-shirt. Don't try to bite that shit. Yeah, straight up.
SPEAKER_05I like that. I like that better.
SPEAKER_07So, what what made y'all want to get into music? I know you probably heard that question a thousand and one times, but what made y'all want to get into music?
Worst Hustles And Door-To-Door
SPEAKER_03Well, I mean, honestly, music always been like therapeutic to me, you know what I'm saying, growing up. Like, I felt like when I didn't have the right words to say, me listening to something will actually like fulfill what it what it was that I was, you know, basically trying to say or explain. But um, yeah, music always been like my go-to, like all my life kind of I felt like, well, growing up, I always kind of feel like misunderstood, but it's just like when it comes to me, I feel like expressing and writing it down on paper or typing it in my phone. Um, I don't know, I feel like it comes out to where I feel like people can understand and also relate to it. Um, but yeah, so I just write then and now I just know like, yeah, music, it just comes, it's a natural thing for me. So yeah, it always just been like a part of my life. And I mean, it does run in my family. I do have quite a few musicians, musicians in my family, but I mean, yeah. Um I feel like I would be the one that really opened the doors for the family. Yeah, because I really, yeah, we only, I mean, we taking it serious, and it's like doors just been opening left and right, so I know that we on the right path, you know. And it's one of our calls for sure.
SPEAKER_07And I think that the first thing is um is for you to have that vision, you know what I'm saying? So it's like it's something like it's something that you see that nobody else sees, and it's and that's that's for a reason, you know what I'm saying? Everybody not saying the same thing that you're saying, right? So, what about you, Andrew? Like what what what brought you to music?
SPEAKER_05Um, so my whole life, um, I've always been into writing in any form. So I started off with poetry. Oh, um, you know, then after doing poetry, I started seeing like videos on spoken word. I started, you know, going to open mic nights, seeing stuff like that. Then I was like, dang, let me start trying to put my words with the music. Because for me, music, like she said, is therapy. So it's like me putting my music out onto like a journal. So I'm pouring out my actual feelings and how I feel and what I'm going through. And it just helps me release, you know what I mean? Um, but it definitely helped me in a lot of times. Um whether no matter what mood I'm in, you know, it's always a song for every mood. So you know what?
SPEAKER_07I'm glad you said that. Because I like I like to put songs like in in in like three categories. So you got you got songs that make you want to make you want to laugh, you know what I'm saying, have fun. You got the songs that make you want to cry, and then you got your songs that make you want to throw up gang signs, you know what I'm saying?
SPEAKER_13That's that morning music.
SPEAKER_07Yeah, you know what I'm saying? I ain't gonna ask you what gang sign you're throwing up because that's your business. But so the three categories, give me three songs. One song that makes you want to laugh, one song that makes you want to cry, and one song that makes you want to throw up gang signs.
SPEAKER_03Oh, that's a good one that makes me want to laugh.
SPEAKER_05Oh I know the one that made me want to throw up gang signs is the uh that little dark that pooh shines the song. Right, any little dark song for real. Daddy made me want to do that. Um a song that makes me want to cry. Oh you can put on any Mary J Blash song, it's gonna make you yeah, no, Mary J for real, for real.
SPEAKER_03Love Mary though, shout out to her, but no, if I had to go with um a song that makes me wanna cry, um, definitely one of my sons, cookie dope milk. Uh holding on. Check that out on YouTube, you guys. Um, but nah, back um God's grace by Trinity. That song always gets me um a song that makes me wanna laugh. Dig, it was on the top of my head. I can't even think.
SPEAKER_05Um songs make me want to laugh. But nah, that makes you want to laugh.
SPEAKER_03Not those gang signs. Um, but yeah, then let's see. Well, any little dark song, or I would say um my boy NBA, I love NBA young boy, that makes me want to throw up game signs and listen to any of the songs too. Cause okay, Trey, you put this bitch back to you. But there you go.
West Side Roots And Role Models
SPEAKER_07She's ready to turn out right now. So can you remember? Can y'all remember the first venue that y'all performed at?
SPEAKER_03Uh Together.
SPEAKER_07Yeah.
SPEAKER_03It had to be um spit and bars, or was it club halls?
SPEAKER_05I think it was spitting bars. Yeah, I think it was one of the spitting bars events. Shout out to Spin and Bar. Yeah, shout out to Spitz.
SPEAKER_04Okay.
SPEAKER_05Shops me uh hostess, uh Shops Biggity and Nico.
SPEAKER_03Yeah, shout you back to us. Um but I want to say, what was the bar that but what was the name of the bar? Was it La Mehicano? I believe so. When they used yeah, yeah, was that La Mehicano?
SPEAKER_07Okay, so how how was that experience?
SPEAKER_03Yeah, it was it was amazing. Like the whole crowd, they definitely they definitely was rocking with us. Uh, every song that we actually performed, they've been rocking with us. Um they love the fact how we just come in and we do our handshake, our attire, we be, you know, snacks, we be uh correlating, yeah. The energy, yeah. Overall, the whole stage present, yeah. They they they definitely love the cream girls.
SPEAKER_07Yeah, real talk. I mean, like a lot of motherfuckers walked, a lot of motherfuckers walked away that night. Damn, I was about to say with y'all's name on their mouth, but that didn't sound right. A lot of motherfuckers walked away that night talking about y'all's performance, you know what I'm saying? So I thought that was thought that was real dope. And the thing is, um I think that I think that it's very important. Like everybody has a role to play. You know what I'm saying? The producers got a role, the event curators got a role, the DJs got a role, the artists got a role, the fans, they everybody play a part. And I think that when everybody is playing their part, it's just so much better for the city. You see what I'm saying? Like, because I feel like people want something to be excited for. Like, people, I truly believe people want those artists to be that they want to be excited for. You know what I'm saying? Like, everybody don't have the opportunity to make it to a big concert and see, you know, whoever.
SPEAKER_11Right.
SPEAKER_07You know that you can go to like a local spot and you can catch a dope ass performance. I feel like people appreciate that shit. I know I do. So for y'all, what is the most important? What is the most important aspect of performing? Like when it comes to both of y'all, like what do y'all focus on the most?
SPEAKER_05I would say the energy.
Music As Therapy And Family Ties
SPEAKER_03Yeah, and definitely engaging with the crowd. Yeah, yeah. Engaging with the crowd, you know. Definitely. I mean, you know, because just we find. Yeah, pretty much, you know, because you know, when you up there, you got everybody in the crowd looking at you. So it's like you want them to remember you. So it's like if the crowd see you vibing and feeling your music, they gonna, they gonna, they gonna vibe with you as well and feel your music too, because they're gonna be like, dang, this person, they want you know, they're gonna feel your energy and your yeah, your presence. Oh yeah. I feel like, yeah, yeah. Overall, yeah.
SPEAKER_05And sending a message to through our music and making sure that our message gets through to the brain as well.
SPEAKER_07I like that. I like that. So speaking of such, uh, what do you what message, what message do you think is not being conveyed as much as it should in today's music? Like, what are you not hearing enough of in today's music, in your opinion?
SPEAKER_03Um, I would have to say um more rappers being more uh more female rappers, and I say male rappers just being more uplifting and encouraging to um the female rappers in the industry instead, you know, they like to label us as B's and O's instead of addressing us as the queen and goddesses that we are.
SPEAKER_07Um Rise and Queen.
SPEAKER_03Yeah, so I don't really hear more um, I don't really hear a lot of music like that in today's um hip-hop or RB like music where they just like um acknowledging, just acknowledging us and giving us credit, giving us our flowers and stuff because what Tupac said we all came from a woman, I mean, yeah, from a woman got our names on a woman. You know what I'm saying? Like put some respect on these women out here. You feel me?
SPEAKER_07I feel like I mean like I no, I I agree. I agree. I I think that I think that's I think that's one of the reasons why that I think that's one of the reasons why there is an age limit, why people but an age limit on hip hop because of the messages that we send out. You see what I'm saying? Like not enough times is is there how can I put this? Not enough times I feel that there is a certain maturity level to the music. You get what I'm saying? So like and I think that when you do have a certain maturity level, a lot of motherfuckers can't vibe with it because they feel like it's too over their head. You get what I'm saying? But I feel like you can if the shit can still be mature but fun and uplifting. You get what I'm saying I just think that it takes the artist to do that. That's just my opinion. Who are some of y'all influences? Period. Like period it can be from the motherfucking 70s, the motherfucking 20s, whatever. You know what I'm saying? Who are some of y'all influences?
SPEAKER_05Jackie, all of them Drew Hill, all that like you know, so you know having that love in there I love that um I would love to sample some RB music too, but we're not gonna go there right now. But in today's rap as female rappers, Megastallion a lot of are really doing their thing and Cardi B like they really doing their thing. Yeah to them male wise J. Cole is an inspiration for me. I love J. Cole because he's a lyrical and I love that stupid yeah I like J.
SPEAKER_07Cole. J. Cole is dope. Serious question but kind of off topic so I only do this like a temperature check for me, right? So let's let's let's just say that you have somebody that you really really into like you you feeling them you got a connection with them.
Song Moods And Early Performances
Stage Presence And Crowd Energy
SPEAKER_03You know they get you you get them you look forward to seeing them and you feel like everything is cool with y'all you know I'm saying like you thinking in your head I can I can take the next step with this person right and then you find out that he's a bucket boy like he played a buckets on the side of the road like I was gonna say what's the bucket you know the ones that be yeah I know can you stay with him yeah I can respect the hustle you expect there you go okay that's what's up what about you cookie no milk I respect the hustle but it's like you still gotta have a job like you still gotta you know get out the but he may have a job you know I'm saying you may think about it you may hit some of them spots like on Stony Island you may bring in a lot of money on up areas you know I'm saying or um uh Madison you know I'm saying one of those spots out west you bring in a lot of money he might even make more money than somebody working a regular job and he might get picked up to be part of a big rappers music video or something and get paid to do that you never know never know never know you see what I'm saying just just throwing it out there love to the bucket boys you know definitely they kind of say for real yeah yeah what was what was the hardest song that you had to write like you really just had to you like just writing it you let some shit out I'll definitely go with my song holding on because I would have never thought that later down the road I would actually have to be really telling myself that I have to hold on because um that just said chills down my body oh God need a minute hold on yeah let me get a minute thanks girl I appreciate that um yeah oh thank you thank you cheese um yeah right long last time my angel my baby my number one supporter the one who actually got me back in my mood when I just you know took a break from music or writing or anything she's the one who kept inspiring me to just you know what I'm saying create more music and yeah I always support my daughter my number one supporter may her beautiful soul continue to rest in peace but um yeah she was here during the time when I made that song and she loved that song and when I actually got to go to the studio and record she was there with me she was there she was in the video um as well as my son too and that was the first and last video that um I actually got to shoot with my daughter and it's like now that I listened to it you know that's the mem the memories just popped and played over in my head over and over and during the time when I was writing it you know it was hard to write because you know I lost my grandmama when I'm both my grandmamas and my mama so it's like yeah it was hard to put all of them in one song and then it's like excuse me now you feel my bad okay I don't like crying because it's like I know people gonna be watching us it's like I don't like crying on camera but yeah that's real though that's but that's that's if you don't mind me saying that's you that's you being real that's you being an artist you know I'm saying like yeah that that that that's you being that's you being an artist and you can own that yeah you can own that those are your feelings and and nobody can tell you nobody can tell you how to feel you get what I'm saying right and yeah I mean I feel like nobody can tell you how to feel because you're an artist and it's like the the the more you embrace those feelings then I I think it resonates with your fans and then it resonates more with the audience. I got so many testimonies that I want to share with the world so it's just like this one of my you know what I'm saying one of my testimonies that I know that I'll be able to resonate with other women you know what I'm saying that went through or that you know that went through what I went through.
SPEAKER_07And I and and and I I I commend you I I truly do commend you for your strength real talk. And um I I think that like just just you saying that it made me think about how I first met you and your you're like your bubbly your bubbly persona and your bubbly spirit and it makes me look at it even more even more authentic now. You get what I'm saying because it's like so it's it's it's another side to you and like and I think that that's the type of like that's the type of characteristic that really shows uh how real an artist can be in my opinion. That makes sense. No as far as Chicago because we come from a city that's very uh it's a lot to us it's a lot of hustlers here it's a lot of artists here it's a lot of blue collar workers here it's like too be careful with that shit I mean like it's it's it's so many motherfuckers here when you think about the amount of talent Chicago has what would you suggest to get the city in a better position? What would you do?
SPEAKER_05Like for two questions two a two-part question what would what do you think it needs and what would you do I think it needs more people coming together as a community and doing volunteer work um you know like either when it comes to like gardening because there's a lot of public gardens in Chicago where you can go to um or if it comes to just donating stuff because I feel like we don't do that enough you know um and what would I do to change that? I mean chance the rapper he's a very big you know inspiration when it comes to that department because he does so much to get back to the city that is very motivational you know if I was on his level and had his type of money I would be doing the same thing.
What Music Is Missing Today
SPEAKER_03Yeah that's dope I mean and and I I agree I agree with you I feel like it is needed like it's it's needed so much um cookie no milk what about you what what would you do um so what would I do what was the first part though I know you said what would I do to uh you know change the world like what what do you think the city needs to get it in a better position whether it be for the artists I mean like just for the community and the city as a whole um and what I mean by get it in a better position I mean by more of a light more of a positive light on the city uh more of a more of a um a situation to where you have people that people from outside of the city that want to invest into the city whether they want to invest in us artistically whether they want to invest in us uh economically culturally uh like with the gardening thing or period like and what would you do to help that if that makes sense did I make did did that make sense yeah that made sense but it was a lot that was like a win for but yeah what would I do um well first off people need to um stop gatekeeping and I do agree with CJ we do need to come together and start helping each other and maybe um yeah I want to just leave it at that um but first of all um but maybe they need to stop gatekeeping stuff I like that you said that I love that you said that you know knowledge is found I just feel like if people was to share that with one amongst one another like and stop hating on each other you know what I'm saying just because this person might succeed or go further than you it's just like we still need to stick together and support one another like that's right right I agree with you I totally agree with you on that um and and that's I I like I always have to like kind of point that out when somebody says anything about gatekeeping right because I feel like depending on who you talk to some people may feel like it's necessary right they may feel like well if you don't gatekeep then all the whack motherfuckers get in you know what I'm saying like every whack motherfucker is gets in the door right but then you have some people that feel like stop doing that type of shit because you're hindering people from moving forward.
Influences Across Eras
SPEAKER_07You get what I'm saying so I think like it's pros and cons to it. Like I do feel like Chicago needs guidance if that makes sense. You know like I think Chicago needs guidance I think and it and it needs it it needs guidance for motherfuckers that's knowledgeable but also motherfuckers that have a bit of an asshole personality to them. And the reason why I say that is be is this sometimes people feelings have to be hurt in order for them to get the picture. You get what I'm saying like it's a lot of motherfuckers that feel like they just the coldest motherfuckers out there and that's far finer than but if you're not then you know to get you to another level maybe you may need that motherfucker to just be brutally honest with you. You get what I'm saying and I think that sometimes in this city people get so sensitive about that.
Respecting Hustle And Bucket Boys
Writing Through Loss And Healing
SPEAKER_05Like don't tell me shit don't critique shit you know just play the record nigga you know what I'm saying so I think like sometimes I don't know I sometimes I think like you may need somewhat of a gatekeeper if that makes sense yeah um so speaking of Chicago artists and Chicago's music stand who would you love to work with who would you look forward to working with my from Chicago yeah yeah man I would love to work for Derkyo's perkyo you freed man um my nephew polo g for sure I do want to do a juice one so I'll definitely say mellow bucks yeah um yeah yeah Fendi too for sure um who else should I do something that was a little oh yeah for sure G Herbo yeah my Tribe T key if he ever come back to the record yeah T key for real um yeah that's so far off the top of the though yeah that I remember chance to write yeah chance to yeah so okay speaking of chance speaking of chance because I had this conversation with somebody else which which one do you think was a more interesting chance uh sober chance or as chance I don't know either yeah I don't probably cause his old stuff still lit like too I don't know how to answer that to be honest for sure I mean for sure I mean for one I ain't I ain't know he was not so loose we're kind of I guess in a sense kind of toned down yeah kind of toned down like but then again some people may say like that's the elevation you get what I'm saying like that's a motherfucker elevating from you know and just growing up so you know you're gonna get a different you're gonna get a different sound from a person because that person is is thinking differently you're gonna think evolving the right the evolving which I must say is a testament to that maturity in hip hop which is a which is a good thing you get what I'm saying like I think that might be an example of what maturity in hip hop sounds like if that makes sense um three years for the cream girls what is it gonna look like we're gonna be doing it then what I for sure um more trips um we're gonna be booked out sold out shows we do we definitely be at the BET Wars if not this year we're gonna make it next year for sure that um I love that we got um doing movies series because we both do be acting and be doing our thing um like music it just don't uh stop at music you know we got different other you know milestones that we're gonna get through to as well but um yeah so I'm not really I'm I'm not really in tune with this so I gotta I just ask people do Chicago have like um acting coaches that like live here do you they might they might don't I personally never use the acting coach so I wouldn't know if Chicago has them but I know that back in the day when I was in high school I did do barbazon which is basically like a modeling and talent agency where they it's like a school where they teach you how to model how to walk runways how to do stuff like that but as far as acting goes I think you would have to get into like drama classes and theater classes and stuff like that in order to really get any type of coaching with acting but I don't really see too many actual acting coaches I think that shit is needed like it is I because like don't get me wrong I like to be movies but bruh it's bruh like y'all you be looking at movies that feel like I know y'all intentions was good but goddamn bruh you know what I'm saying like and and and I think personally I think that can be the difference between um a really good independent movie and a fucking horrible movie is just like the acting like I think we need more fucking acting coaches like for real also too some of that is not just on the actors because I I do acting as well so I've been on a lot of different sets with a lot of different productions yeah so I've seen how different people operate how they do things and to be honest sometimes it's the production that's not organized like they don't have a script for you to go off of they just want you they just want to give you a scenario tell you to act it out and they only give you a couple tries there's no rehearsals stuff like that they just trying to get stuff shot and done instantly so that it doesn't really give the actor time to feel their character okay oh right on that yeah um but then you got some that they tell you everything they let you know what your character is the type of character they give you a script they give you time to go over your script they do rehearsals so they're a lot more organized and those tend to be the better films okay okay so with that being said are you a fan of Tyler Perry movies yes yeah I love Tyler his movies his series yes everything I watch everything Tyler Perry I'm sorry okay I'm doing all right so I'm not gonna front i i'm i'm not a huge tyler perry fan i'm not i was you gotta get past the bad acting yes you said it i didn't you said it and you know what i don't even really think it's bad acting to be honest with you i don't think it's bad acting i just think like it'd be the script like i like the early ones i feel like they just so fuck up saying like the the the newer ones like the one he just did with um the college road trip thing oh yeah with joe yeah that was dope i like that that was that was real good um and then the one that he just the one he did with uh kelly rolling um i forgot the name of it kelly that meah cop cop yeah yeah that was decent i like that um so i i'm i'm getting more into it i'm getting more into it but i don't think the acting is bad honestly i don't i just think the scripts was fucked up i just think that was just really fucking predictable you know i'm saying yeah like even with tube movies i think like with to be movies in tubi movies you you're guaranteed to hear at least three phrases no matter what fucking tubi movie it is you're gonna hear a motherfucker say 10 toes down um you're gonna hear a motherfucker say i got it out the mud um and uh what's the third one that you always hear motherfuckers say in to be movies um fresh off the porch or some shit like that you get out the porch fresh off the porch right so it's like I just think like it's it's the right but I'm glad I'm I'm glad that you
SPEAKER_07I think a lot of times you just get blamed on the actors. So you said y'all you wanted to get into acting, and you brought up the BET Awards.
SPEAKER_03Yeah.
SPEAKER_07Why the BET Awards?
SPEAKER_03I mean, because I always I mean I had a vision that we was gonna be performing on the B E T Awards stage. So it always been It always been like satisfied, yeah, we're gonna make it to the B E T Awards.
SPEAKER_07So the only reason why I asked you that question is because like you didn't say the Grammys or nothing like that.
SPEAKER_03You said Well, yeah, because I didn't even finish the last name and um I list a whole bunch of other stuff. I mean it kind of yeah I kinda cut it off right there, but you right. I ain't I ain't mentioned that, but we'll be there too.
SPEAKER_07So let me ask you this. What's and creatively or artistically, what's your difference between the BETs and the Grammys? How do you how do you look at them differently?
SPEAKER_05The BET awards are a lot more lit and they show a lot more black people performing and they give them a better platform to speak on versus the Grammys. But the Grammys is still lit, it lets you know, you know, what artists are popping, what the hottest new songs are, stuff like that. But the BET awards pretty much do the same thing. But the Grammys is supposed to mean more, I guess. But yeah, but it's like I just feel like BET definitely supports the black people more and showcases them more and gives them a better light.
SPEAKER_04Yeah.
SPEAKER_07Okay, okay. I I I can see y'all being in that cipher. I can definitely see that shit. That'll be dope. That'll be good for the city. Real talk. Um, so I ain't gonna take up too much of y'all's time. Um, how important as as artists, and I'm not gonna even say local artists, because I feel like just with the vision that y'all have, um, I don't think local is gonna be uh uh um a stamp on y'all. You know what I'm saying?
SPEAKER_05Like international. We've already been performing in other things too. Really though.
How To Elevate Chicago’s Scene
SPEAKER_07See? And I see and I can I can I can kind of tell just from y'all persona. Um how important is it? How important are the open mics to artists these days? Like the role of an open mic. How how important do you think that that is?
SPEAKER_05Very important. You never know who's gonna show up to an open mic night. Cause me and her did a performance at one open mic night and Shondell popped up from Power Dreams too, you know? And he watched the performances. So, you know, you just never know who might pop their head in the door at an open mic night. And something I've been seeing recently that I do want to tell my fellow Chicago artists like, I understand that you guys are putting your music out, and I love seeing y'all at these other mic nights, but I want a lot of y'all to actually put more effort into your appearance as well, like when you come up there, because a lot of times you see people just coming in just regular, like casual, like you know, clothes, they're not really trying to put too much into their look, and I feel like that look is plays a big part in it as well. As you know, the music.
SPEAKER_07My bad, my pit bull, my pit bull going on.
SPEAKER_05It's okay.
SPEAKER_07My bad, uh the tang, I'm sorry about that.
SPEAKER_05I know I was just saying, like, you know, I just want them to put more effort into like their appearance because stage presence is just as important as your music. And it also, when you look good, you feel good. And when you feel good, people can see that. But when you're not feeling good with how you look for yourself, it shows when you perform and then your presence. So a lot of artists, I just want them to take themselves a little bit more serious when they're doing these open mic nights, you know, when putting themselves out there.
SPEAKER_07For sure, for sure. That that I I like that you put it out there like that. Public service announcements. Artists don't become the musty as fuck. Like, you're gonna talk, you know, just like that. Like, they gotta have on design and shit, but you know, make sure y'all should aren't goddamn. That's that's that's that's very good advice. Um, so let the people know where they can find y'all, and also let them know um y'all social media tags, all that shit. Let them know exactly where they can get in contact with y'all, all that.
SPEAKER_04Okay.
SPEAKER_03Let me reintroduce myself. My name is C D O K I E. No milk because I'm gonna be thirsty. Okay, but y'all can find me on all social media platforms. Actually, y'all can Google me. Just type in cookie, no milk, and all my social media platforms will pop up, videos, yeah, and all.

Plugs, Socials, And Closing Gratitude
SPEAKER_07Yo, what the deal is. We back. We back. We back. We back. Hey yo, that was um, that was that was a mix for this week by yours truly. Um before we get up out of here, I wanna give a public service announcement. Please be aware of the people that you try to do business with on the next door app. Real shit. I am putting, you know what, I'm gonna be vulnerable at this point in time. I am. So motherfucking refrigerator wasn't working right. So I put on a next door app that I was looking for an honest, reasonable repair man to look at my fucking refrigerator. I think the word honest was kind of what fucked me up. Anyway, long story short, I get hit up by a motherfucker and they say I'm fast and reliable. Should have been another red flag. So I call it. And I'm just gonna put it out there. The motherfucker got me for my$25. I cash app this motherfucker$25 because he said he had to. The more I think about the shit, the more I think about it. It was a dumbass move. Anyway, I cash app this motherfucker$25 because he said he had to go get a piece for the refrigerator. But the motherfucker didn't look at the refrigerator. So why the fuck would I cash app this motherfucker$25? Anyway, long story short, the motherfucker didn't come fix the refrigerator. And that's$25 wasted. However, that was a valuable$25 lesson. And that lesson is you don't ever send money to a motherfucker unless they come out to do the work or you see something that's more credible. And the thing that added insult to injury is that the motherfucker posted, he commented on the post, look at my profile, and reach out to the people that I've done work for. Unfortunately, I read that part after I cashed at this motherfucker that$25. Because when I looked at the profile, it wasn't shit on it. It wasn't shit on this motherfucker's profile. No work he's done for anybody, no customers that he's done work, nothing. So anyway, I say all that. I'm allowing y'all to learn from my mistake. Don't fucking send money to somebody unless they come out to do the work and you know it's a real fucking person. Anyway. So with that being said, shout out to the cream girls, Kucky, No Milk, and Indica for stopping through on the Shits Podcast. Y'all make sure y'all check them out. They dope as hell. Dope live performance. Y'all make sure y'all get in tune with them. Um, shout out to anybody that has uh supported the shits podcast. Uh shout out to Mel's Kitchen and Catering.
