A Chicago Lyricist Explains How Travel And Vulnerability Make Better Music
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Losing someone you love can reorder your whole day, and sometimes the only way through is to build a routine that holds you up. We sit with Chicago’s own Teefa for a conversation that starts with grief and self-care and quickly opens into something bigger: what it means to be a real artist, a real person, and a real voice in Chicago hip hop. From sauna time and meditation to building a home that feels like a retreat, Teefa breaks down how healing becomes a practice, not a slogan.
We also dig into her journey through the Chicago music scene, from early access to DJ gear and recording, to barbershop freestyles, ciphers, and first shows that made the dream feel reachable. The talk turns to how the city’s hip hop spaces have changed, how drill music reshaped attention, and why “balance” in music matters for youth, culture, and mental health. If you care about lyricism, vulnerability, and storytelling that reflects real life, you’ll hear why Teefa believes words carry weight and why growth should never have an age limit.
Then we get practical about the music business: Chicago radio support, local artist ecosystems, fair opportunities, and why every step toward success can’t come with a price tag. We close on the joy of sound with “International” and Teefa's house music and hip hop blend that’s built to move a room without losing bars. Subscribe for more real conversations, share this with a Chicago music fan, and leave a review so more listeners can find the show.

Welcome And Meet Tifa
SPEAKER_03Yo, what the deal is. It's your boy Monsoon. It's your boy DJ Monsoon to Raw, the dopest DJ and the dopest host you heard thus far. And you are now back at the shit's podcast. So either shooting shit, starting some shit, or picking up what shit left off. Yo, this week on the podcast, y'all, and I know I say this shit all the time because I mean it. We have a very special guest to the podcast. And I'm gonna tell you why this person is, this individual is so special. Because I actually grew up listening to her music. She was actually one of the first lyricist out of the city of Chicago that I was like, yo, I was blown the fuck away by her style, her wordplay. And then I seen that she started, she transitioned into radio, did a dope ass job at radio. So honestly, y'all, I'm very blessed to have this to have this conversation with the only Chicago's own, y'all. Tifa.
SPEAKER_09Thank you.
SPEAKER_03You're welcome. You're welcome. What's up?
SPEAKER_09Man, bless. How are you?
SPEAKER_03I'm good. I cannot complain. I like the uh the art on the wall back there. That's dope.
SPEAKER_09Which one? This over there.
SPEAKER_02That one. Oh, that's that's dope.
SPEAKER_09Thank you. My guy Dork did that. He um, so he did that while we were uh shooting the celebrate the excellence video. Yep, he did it, he shot it live. Crazy. So I actually got like shirts with that print on the front of them.com.
SPEAKER_03That's dope as fuck.
SPEAKER_09Thank you, bro. I love it. Oh, it's nasty.
Grief Check-In And Self-Care
SPEAKER_03Yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah. Thank you. On the podcast, we like to do what we call like do a check-in, and I ask people the question, what are you working on? And a lot of times, like artists there say what music they're working on, but I don't mean it like that. What I say when I ask what you're working on, what are you working on like internally? Like, what are you working on this week?
SPEAKER_09Um, so my dog recently passed.
SPEAKER_03Oh, thank you.
SPEAKER_09And she was she's an elder, right? So she was sickly, so I would have certain times of the day where I would do things to take care of her. Like in the morning, she would get an hour of just like my time dedicated, clean her up, feed her, you know, spend some time with her, come home from work, an hour dedicated before bed, hour dedicated. So for me to help me with my healing, um, and then to just return that time to myself, I'm using that time to do things like get in my sauna, uh, exercise, meditate, pray, like whatever I feel like I need, whatever regimen you know, I want to create, I'm gonna rededicate that time to something. Um, because I took it away from myself to give it to her because she needed more attention. So I'm just gonna, you know, and that'll help me heal, help me feel better, and um prepare me for the summer and just life, you know what I'm saying?
SPEAKER_02Yeah, yeah.
Building A Home That Calms
SPEAKER_09Well, yeah, so that's been actually my focus. So, my last yesterday and today, I got in my sauna when I got up. I got this little this look a little crazy. I'm little, so I can fit in that. It's not you know, I get in my sauna in the morning for 30 minutes, and it's dope.
SPEAKER_03Yeah, so but before I ask another question, let me ask you this: like, so do you have a certain area of your home that's super effective for calming you? Like, is it the sauna or is it somewhere else?
SPEAKER_09Um, I actually have a few spaces in my house that are very common. Like, I got a chair in my bedroom that is extremely relaxing for me, and then honestly, this little couch, yeah, yeah, yeah.
SPEAKER_03Like the pillows, it's like yeah, right.
SPEAKER_09Okay, and it kind of let out into a whole bed, too. Yeah, I got a I got a chair similar to that in my family room where I can just like yeah, yeah, like I really like um like I my the aesthetic of my house is kind of like spa-like, so the whole point of it is to be able to come home and kind of retreat, you know, mentally from things.
SPEAKER_03Yeah, I was just um it's funny because I was just telling my mom that, and I was like, uh recently because I I just got divorced like probably like damn, how long? Two years, whatever. I know we ain't together anybody, but I'm sorry, we had to say no, no, no, don't say sorry. Okay, respect what I what I what I found out was like having your own space and really putting that shit together, you get what I'm saying, and like it's it's powerful as fuck, you know what I'm saying? So, like for me, for me, my office, my little office, my little workspace is super common to me. Like, even when the day is like super shitty, super fucked up, like I can come in this motherfucker and just sit, and it's like everything that's around in this motherfucker, it means something, you know what I'm saying? So, like, I've I've I've come to realize the importance of establishing that environment. You know what I'm saying? Establishing that that that space for you that brings peace to you. That's for that question.
SPEAKER_09Um no, I love it. I just so I I've only been in this home for two years, and my thought process was I don't want a space, I don't want a home that I feel like I have to vacation from a lot. My home to feel like the vacation.
South Side Roots And Traveling Wide
SPEAKER_03Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. That's dope. That's dope. Um so I just may be a stupid talk. The dumbest question is the one you don't ask. Um, where are you from?
SPEAKER_09Chicago, Southside.
SPEAKER_03Okay, okay, okay, okay. Um how do you think, or do you think that the South Side of Chicago has molded you into the individual that you are today? And if so, how?
SPEAKER_09Uh partially, partially. So I think that there's a certain level of um soul when it comes to art and music that we have here, like our connection to um I don't want to say black music, but it really is kind of that um that we have here, um was very instrumental in molding me. Um but traveling at such a young age really, really expanded my mindset. Um, so it's like being from the south side of Chicago gave me a talent, a base of um an understanding of how to express my talent, right? To create music, to write music, and to have the balls to spit it. You know what I'm saying? But traveling abroad showed me that oh my god, Chicago is minute in comparison to everything else that's out there, you know what I'm saying? And it showed me that um I can make plans for the rest of my life or approach my thinking for the rest of my life, considering this small box, or I can make plans considering this open, broad, huge space called the world, you know, um, where everybody looks different, everybody speaks different, but the one connected thing was the language of music and energy and body language, you know what I'm saying? Like you can always read those things. So I say Chicago molded me, and it gave me my fundamentals, but then traveling at such a young age really made me the person that I am. Um, it just really stretched my thinking of what's possible.
SPEAKER_03So you spoke about traveling a lot. What would you call what would you call your second home?
SPEAKER_09I don't know if I would call another place my second home right now, just because I haven't been consistent in one place like I was at different times in my life. So, like for example, when I was really young, New York was like my second home. Okay, because I was there all the time for business, you know what I'm saying? Um, I have one stint in my life where we were touring abroad and it was like anywhere in London or Europe was like a second home, you know. We were always there, so I wouldn't necessarily say as of recent, I'm not just a in one other place other than Chicago as much as I'm here. Um, but if I felt kinship in any other place, it would probably be New York or Atlanta, okay, as far as like a second home, yeah. It would be New York or Atlanta, yeah.
Barbershop Freestyles To Pink House
SPEAKER_03Yeah, I love New York. I love New York, and and I love Atlanta too. Like, yeah, it's it's it's it's a different kind of relationship with Atlanta. Um with New York, I just love the energy of it, you know. I'm saying it's like the landscape, uh the trains, um, yeah, that's what I like about it. I don't know something different about Atlanta though. Um, I didn't meet this this this the shorty in Atlanta. This nigga named uh the Glock Starter. Look, look Glock starter, some shit. I ain't never heard this in my life. That's just that's just me to this day. The niggas look Glock Starter. I mean, that's deep, bro. You don't you don't even need a patent, you don't even need a patent on this shit, right? You good, you good. Um, I know, right? How did you how did you get introduced to the Chicago music scene?
SPEAKER_09Um honestly, first my cousin used to go to all the Mendel parties, and he was a DJ. Okay, so he always had DJ equipment at the crib.
SPEAKER_03What's his name?
SPEAKER_09His name is Edwin. He went by DJ rhythm. Now he goes by DJ Wan. Okay, so he don't DJ as much as he did then. It's just like little private isolated stuff, but he will also make beats, so I will always have access to you know, he would go out to the Mendel party, I'd be in his room on his full track recording to whatever beat I could find in the beat machine. Yeah, I was in grammar school then, so yeah, you said a full track, yeah.
SPEAKER_10God damn it, give away a full track now.
SPEAKER_03Like, what was the choice, man? What do I do to you? Exactly.
SPEAKER_09So I would say that was my introduction to me being able to be creative beyond me writing in my little notepad, you know. Um, as far as the music scene, I gotta get that to Andy C. Andy C Pink House. Um me and Shauna used to hit the barbershops and freestyle. Okay, was really trying to get money to kick it, you know. Um, because we would rhyme, and cats would give us money for rhyming in the in the barbershop. Bad, we gonna hit the barbershop, we're gonna get for the night, and we're gonna go kick it. Yeah, and um Andy's brother was there actually one time. He used to own a barbershop, and his brother was there, and um, he was like, Andy, it's some girls that be coming in here freestyling. They call so one day he hooked it up where we met with Andy. Andy put us on his mixtape that he did. Um, I forgot the name of the mixtape, and then uh he was like, Man, y'all want to make a record? Like, y'all dope, let's let's make some music. He was like, Yeah, she of course we do. So we start linking up with Andy um on the weekends we were still in school, still in high school, and we were recording his basement, and the rest is history. Andy connected us to Pink House after the music was done, and we started they would sneak us in the clubs, and we would perform and sneak us in the ciphers, and we'd go kill it. And man, the rest was history.
SPEAKER_03Yep. I remember I remember seeing the video for um, and I'm sorry, and I'm probably saying the title of the song wrong. I just know the chorus. Uh uh.
SPEAKER_10Here I go. Uh-oh, here I go. Yeah, yeah.
SPEAKER_03I remember seeing that motherfucking video on the box. I remember seeing that video on the box, and I was blown the fuck away. I'm like, hold the fuck up, you know what I'm saying? Like, these motherfuckers got bars, you see what I'm saying? And the beat was cold, everything. And ever since then, I was like, Hey, I've been I I've been a fan of yours, yours and Shauna's. So how did y'all how did y'all link up?
SPEAKER_09Um, to a mutual friend, okay. A mutual friend, yep. Um, around the time too, my boyfriend had died, he was shot, and so we started hanging around each other more. And our mutual friend was like, Man, Tifa rap, man, Shauna rap, y'all spit something. So that became the thing. Like every time we would hang out, we would just rap. You know, everybody just wanted us to rap, so we just would kick it and just rap shit. Um, and then eventually we went to the barbershops. Eventually, we met Andy.
SPEAKER_03Yeah, yeah, yeah. Did did that shit ever get irritating when motherfuckers just be like, hey, spit something right quick, you know what I'm saying? Like, really, okay, okay, that's dope.
SPEAKER_10No, we loved it.
SPEAKER_03Okay, yeah, okay. I know sometimes, man, you know, you got some people that you know, like that that really rhyme, and motherfuckers but every time they come around, like, man, spit some shit, and most like nigga, I don't feel like rhyme right now, you know what I'm saying?
SPEAKER_09For some people, but I think it was a different era though, you know what I'm saying? You're talking about different era of artists. Um, and then I think too, sometimes it can be if somebody in their comfort zone, okay. Okay, that is important, you know what I'm saying? Yeah, like sometimes they might, for whatever reason, it could be something we don't even know, it could be a person around or just an energy, or yeah, maybe they really just want to be in a different space. But back when we came up, like that was the norm. Like, we going out, we're going around people, nigga. We rapping. What's up? Like, you ain't rapping, we into it.
SPEAKER_03That should make sense because just the energy, like just the energy I got from the that that video. You see what I'm saying? Like that song. It was like, these don't sound like motherfuckers is like part-time, you know what I'm saying? These sound like these sound like individuals that that write, and I think it's a difference between the ones that well, that's all another story. Because I was thinking about I hate to use the term back then, and because you may make you sound so dated and old.
SPEAKER_09I just think it was just different cultures, the culture has evolved into something different, you know what I'm saying? Um, right, so of course, the player is gonna evolve into something different, right? You know, the expectation is is different for artists these days than it was back then, and more shit is in person, you know what I'm saying? It was more in person, like we showed up to the clubs, we showed up to the ciphers. We were not on our phones like that. We didn't have phones like that. We had pagers, like only cats that had a phone was drug dealers with big ass big ass phones, yeah.
SPEAKER_03You couldn't book them bitches in your pocket, you know what I'm saying?
SPEAKER_09No, it was like you were showing up for that connection, like we would link up to rap. Yeah, it was just about where and what else was going on, but you knew that shit was happening, like you, especially you got the right people in the room, somebody has to be taped, yeah, yeah.
SPEAKER_03Yeah, I'm not I'm I'm in the right spot right now, you know what I'm saying? Like, I'm not doing this, I'm not doing this for nothing. You get what I'm saying?
SPEAKER_09Yeah, and it didn't feel like work, it was like practice, it was exercise, you know what I'm saying?
First Shows And Early Momentum
SPEAKER_03It's yeah, yeah. So so so speaking of spots, can you remember? Can you remember the first venue that that you performed down?
SPEAKER_09La Borsa's spot, the spot was the first. No, I take that back. It was a spot out in Wheaton. We opened up for uh Junior Mafia. Me and Shauna got our first show opening up for junior mafia. I remember I got out of school and I had saw a plugger, and I was like, Yo, I'm gonna call him and ask him, can we perform? And I called the number on the plugger for tickets, and it happened to be the promoter. Okay, and I was like, Man, me and my friend rap, we cold. Can we open up? He was like, You don't rap. I said, Yes, I do, and he was like, Spit something, and I raped. He was like, Yeah, y'all can open up, meet me here. I was like, Shana, we got a show. She was like, Get the out of here. That's uh that's how we got our first show. That's crazy.
SPEAKER_03Yeah, so how was that? Like, how was that experience?
SPEAKER_09Man, it was unreal. It was, you know, how you have when you're doing something, and you had this big dream of what it could be, but you have no idea what the steps are that you take to get there. So it just felt like one step closer to you know what I'm saying, something greater than us just being in the parties. It was just like this shit is crazy. I can't believe we're here. If we could do this, what else could we do? We could do this.
SPEAKER_10What else can we do?
SPEAKER_09We can do this, what else can we do? Like it got to that point, and it just kept building and building. So that was like the first stepping stone of that.
SPEAKER_03Yeah, it makes me think about what you just said makes me think about the whole concept of eliminating the word can't oh man, like all day you don't even think like that, yeah. Fast that word no more, yeah, just replace it with how, right, right, right, right, exactly. How exactly, yeah. So with with with you having so much of a footprint and not just hip hop, period, but also Chicago hip-hop. Can you can you say what you like about where it started and what you what you what you like about where it started for you and what you didn't like about where it started for you?
SPEAKER_09What did I didn't well I like that we had these all these spaces. It was like impossible to not find hip hop somewhere in the city, you know? It was life was at the taste, it was at the clubs, it was on the college campuses, yeah, yeah, yeah. It was at the parking lot, it was at the studios, it was in the mall, it was like it seemed like everywhere we turned, there was somewhere we can go and just do hip-hop, if that makes sense. No, it makes sense. If that's DJing in the park, picnics, parties, like whatever it was, somebody's basement, you know. I appreciate that. I feel like now it's harder to get to those spaces, or they don't exist. Um everything is either in like like where do you find hip hop now? You maybe a private session online. You don't have no, you don't really have no hip-hop parties like that. Yeah, I know moves do brown sugar. Other than that, I don't really know of like we have multiple clubs, like tone was spinning somewhere, Mustafa Rox was spinning somewhere, word was spinning somewhere, like it was everywhere. It was multiple DJs spinning hip hop and all these different. You could step into A space where it was right there. You could live that shit daily, day to day. It was right there.
SPEAKER_04Yeah.
SPEAKER_09So I didn't like. I don't know what I didn't. I can't think of. I can't really think of nothing that I didn't like about back then. I think honestly, we probably had a very, I don't want to say easy road, but we caught a lot of blessings.
SPEAKER_02Yeah.
SPEAKER_09Meeting Pig House, meeting Andy C was a blessing. You know what I'm saying?
SPEAKER_04Yeah.
SPEAKER_09Um, meeting our manager, meeting and working with no ID was a blessing. Like those were, you know, you can't really get those type of layups. Um, yeah, it was like we caught so many blessings and we were covered so well, I feel like um I can't really complain. I can't really complain about anything back then.
Drill Era And The Need Balance
SPEAKER_03Yeah. So do you think that do you think that Chicago hip hop has evolved?
SPEAKER_09And if so, in what direction it definitely has evolved. It's not the same as it was. Um I think drill took it, took over hip-hop for Chicago for a really long time. Um, and kind of pushed the more um hip-hop vibes towards the back, you know what I'm saying, as far as like what's getting the attention, because I think drill music took over hip-hop period for a long period of time. Yeah. So I think you get less hip-hop, you know, less hip-hop artists and just more drill type artists. Yeah, but I don't know. I don't I feel like it's it's kind of it's changing. I know of artists that are more um that don't make drill music these days that are getting attention now, um, and getting some buzz. So it's great to see that. I really would like, I'm not gonna say that I'm I'm I'm concerned about what drill music creates in our youth, in young people, in our actually city, in our city, like it materializes into death. So I'm not uh I'm not a real fan of that part, yeah. Um, but I think the beats, cold. Yeah, I think the artistry behind it, cold. The messaging is a struggle for me, you know what I'm saying? I work for people, I'm a mom. I will I would rather not. I I think words are powerful, very yeah.
SPEAKER_03So it makes me think about um, like you know, that the the myth that they used to tell us that you know it's just words, words don't hurt, and it's like nigga, they do though, you know what I'm saying? Like that motherfucker's been lying to you, real things, yeah. They've been lying to your ass for years, like it's power in that shit that you're saying. You get what I'm saying?
SPEAKER_09Yeah, we had gangster rap too, though. So, you know, we can't act like our you know, our generation was innocent. We had that too, yeah. Yeah, but what I say is it was just more balanced, then it wasn't like, well, I don't know, gangster rap took, but then you still had like people like common and you know, other artists dropping music that wasn't necessarily gangster rap around that same time.
SPEAKER_03So I just think that we probably just need more balance so people can make healthy choices, and and I and I agree with you on that, and and one of the reasons why I agree with you on that is because balance reflects life, you get what I'm saying? So it's kind of like I don't walk outside and just see all gangsters, you see what I'm saying? I don't but I don't walk outside and see all backpacking niggas either. You see what I'm saying? So it's kind of like it it's a balance to it, like it reflects it reflects the world that we see, like it gives you other options to be like, oh, I like what they're doing, you know what I'm saying? Compared to compared to it being, oh, that's the only thing motherfuckers is doing right now. You see what I'm saying?
SPEAKER_09But see, uh uh, yeah, go ahead.
SPEAKER_03Go ahead.
SPEAKER_09So what you just said was like that just hit home. That was real for me. So when I think about um that balance, I think about how that actually shows up in individual artists, like artists that are able to toe that line because they've seen both parts of that in their life. Like, I think about G Herbo. You know what I'm saying? Like, I hear them both ways. I could hear G Herbo over some soulful shit, talking about some real life struggle, and I could hear him over some drill shit, you know what I'm saying? Um, and I again that's that balance being able to just be honest, and you know, whatever that content is on that song, allowing it to feel natural, you know what I'm saying, on that track or that beat. So, yeah, I definitely appreciate that.
SPEAKER_03And I think I I I I personally think like that's what makes you an artist. You see what I'm saying? So it's kind of like people put this age limit on hip-hop, and I feel like I feel like it's to me, I feel like it's it's numerous reasons for that, and the people, the the people that actually do hip hop are part of the problem as well. It's because you don't want to evolve as an artist, you don't want to show that vulnerable side of you. It's like, you know, at 40-something years old, you still want motherfuckers to think you're doing the same shit that you was doing when you was 20. Nigga, that don't make sense. You see what I'm saying? Like, you know, granddaddy, you're not serving packs no more. You know what I'm saying?
SPEAKER_04That shit ain't cute.
How Tifa Writes And Rewrites
SPEAKER_03You see what I'm saying? But granddad, I like the fact that you just wrote a rhyme about distress from grandma or whatever the fuck is going on. That's interesting to me. That's something that makes me want to listen to you, and that it makes me think about soul artists and RB artists that tap into that shit and they write those type of songs. You see what I'm saying? Or a motherfucker like Common that'll write a song about uh somebody having an abortion or write a song about finding out finding out that one of his homies is gay, or some short that's real life shit. You see what I'm saying? And to me, that's the kind of shit that makes you an artist. You see what I'm saying? Because it makes you a person, and I in my my much just my personal opinion, I feel like that's what hip-hop is lacking, and that's part of the reason why there's an age limit on hip-hop because even the older artists keep making this shit a younger artist game, you know what I'm saying? See what I'm saying? So that's so like that's the part that I really don't feel. So it brings me to downtime. That's it, fire.
SPEAKER_09Thank you.
SPEAKER_03Fucking fire, like real shit. Um, the beat, dope as shit, the word play, dope as shit, and and the punchlines are clever as fuck. Thank you. So at this at this stage in life for you, was that a difficult record to write, or was it was it was light work?
SPEAKER_09So one, I'm I never go with anything on the first right. Okay, I'm always rewriting some shit, right? Because I just always want to challenge myself and I always want to step up and feel like I'm doing my actual best. Um, difficult, I wouldn't call it difficult because it's just the process, yeah. You know what I'm saying? It's always like every song I do, I'm recording that multiple times. Multiple, nope, I'm gonna fix this part. Nope, I don't like this part, this part be hard, and you fall in love with that part with the actual process. You know what I'm saying? So I wouldn't label that difficult, but sometimes it's hard because I sift through different types of music, like I'm doing some house shit, I'm doing like some software, and I'm doing still doing some hip-hop shit. Sometimes it's harder for me to like break out of the house space and write that differently, and then go into you know, a downtime, you know what I'm saying? Yeah, um, I had to make like three or four songs like that in that space, and then it's like you could kind of hear the progression in that group of songs, and then like, all right, man, I heard this soulful beat, that shit crazy. I'm finna fuck with this, you know what I'm saying? And it's like three or four songs in that space. So going through your rewrites for me, part of the process, getting into that next beat that's similar to it, because while I'm looking for beats, I might grab eight or nine of them that all feel the same, yeah. And then so you might get the downtime one first, then you get this other joint I got coming out. Lost art, it's really like downtime is a setup for that shit, you know what I'm saying? Yeah, and then it's like another one, you know, in that same lane. So it's I can't say difficult, but shifting between those different areas can be like it takes a minute.
SPEAKER_03Okay, what was um what was your most difficult song to write?
SPEAKER_09It's been so many songs. Always I can't, so I won't name a song, but I'll say this always the first song after a long break is extremely hard to write. Okay, I will say this song. This song broke uh um this song I got called Serving, and it was like I was going through a really tough time in my life, and I hadn't made music probably a year, okay, year and a half. That song I'll probably drop, if not in December, it'll drop top of next year. I'm really kind of setting up for that song, it's a pretty big record. Okay, but that song was difficult to write because I was coming out of the hiatus, it was the first song out that's always the hardest, but it's so fucking personal. It's so personal. Like I'm rapping about some challenges with my family, you know, our home life, my son, you know, my husband, like my daughter, like it's just a lot going on, and I was literally writing myself out of like through anxiety attacks. Oh, wow, literally, damn, I wasn't sleeping, like it was it was wow. That's probably but once I wrote it, it was so much healing in it, you know what I'm saying?
SPEAKER_03Like, it's supposed to be, it was so much healing, but it was so hard to get through it, and it wasn't even the it wasn't even the words, I think it was getting through the feelings to get to the words, yeah, to express the feelings, and and and that's what I and like that's what I mean by an artist, an artist understanding that they're a fucking person, you know what I'm saying? Like, nigga, I'm not always on some thug shit, you know what I'm saying? Like, nigga, sometimes I get depressed, motherfucking like yeah, and we hide that, we hide that's kind of when you listen to music, yeah. Yeah, that's the thing. So it's kind of like yeah, what when is when is a person when are we really gonna start to realize like it's a reason why you have that ability to take those thoughts and put them into words and make that shit rhyme on top of a beat with a dope ass delivery? Everybody can't do that shit. You heard Self to Shaka, everybody can't do that shit. You see what I'm saying? Like, real you know what I'm saying? It it it it's it's right. You see what I'm saying? So I motherfuckers like anybody can rap, and that may be true, that may be true, but everybody can't sound good rap, yeah. Everybody can't say some shit that make you think you'd be like, damn, that shit happened to me too, you know what I'm saying?
What Healthy Relationships Require
SPEAKER_09Like, to me, those are always the best, yeah, that's powerful, and it's I just told somebody today, too. I was like, Man, I had to learn because my my natural um reaction to pain in my life was a lot of times to like not to shut down and not make anything, yeah. So at first, like when I was younger, the first real trauma I experienced, my boyfriend was murdered, I wrote it out, right? But I had support, like I had I had Shauna with me, you know what I'm saying? Pushing and encouraging that. But when I was more so going through things and I was isolated, um, I had grew the habit or learned the habit of just shutting down and not really. Um, or I will write it out differently, I will write it out in a prayer, I will write it out in a journal entry, you know what I'm saying? Um, but I needed, I needed because of who I am to do it in music. I needed to create it and have it be a whole production, a whole moment that I could play through. Um, it took I had to fight back through that, and that was a part of serving, that was a part of that song. It was coming off that hiatus and breaking that cycle of just shutting down through the pain and actually writing it out.
SPEAKER_03Yeah, that's dope. That's dope. Um what do you what do you think is a healthy relationship?
SPEAKER_09Which type of which type? Any type? Any type, man, um a relationship that can sustain breaks without um disloyalness or feeling like you can't trust someone, a relationship where you can laugh about um shortcomings with each other, a relationship where you can, of course, be completely honest and transparent, um, and vulnerable, um, and a relationship with really strong communication, going both ways, you know. So, not just someone that's able to always be vocal about what they feel or think or see, but also able to actively listen and you know, respond through improved behaviors about what they feel, think, or see, or what they have received information on. So I think that that's important in any type of relationship. Yeah, yeah, people want to be be seen and be heard and respected and feel like they can trust you.
SPEAKER_03That part, that part, you know what, and and and kind of going back to the music thing and making me think about how many artists are really putting that, how many hip hop artists are really putting that mindset thought into their music. You get what I'm saying? Yeah, you feel like that are the arts are here for a reason, you get what I'm saying? Like, and I'm a firm belief that emotions are not handmade, you can't you can't go to one and buy happiness, you know what I'm saying? You might get ill on some shit that might, you know what I'm saying, but you don't happy, you know what I'm saying? So it's like emotions are like yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. And I and and I feel like with music, it's supposed to help that, you know what I'm saying? Like, it's supposed to help it, and I and and and my concern is has been that in a sense we kind of got away from that shit. You see what I'm saying? Like, we kind of got away from it. So, like, I be super appreciative when I come across artists such as yourself that's still that that's that's still a big thing to them, you get what I'm saying? Like, and like you were speaking about the drill music early, and I don't want to I don't want to shit on it at all, you know what I'm saying. I mean, for numerous reasons, I don't want motherfuckers coming after me and shit.
SPEAKER_09I think it came from an honest place, though. So, you know, I respect that, and I and I work with young people, so I understand like you gotta get out what you see that's yeah, causing you trauma, you know.
SPEAKER_03Yeah, yeah, and you gotta think about this shame. You work and you work with the youth, right? So you like you're working with the ones that's gone through this, you know. I'm saying, like, I have an 18-year-old son, and the conversations that I have with him are so enlightening because he'd tell me, like, dad, you know, like your generation, you know, y'all didn't express yourself. You see what I'm saying? It's like, it's this do what I say, or this is just the way it's supposed to be done. It's kind of like y'all bottled so much shit in, and this generation is well, some of them are kind of getting like stepping away from that. That they're the opposite, like they saying, like nigga, I'm depressed, or you know what I'm saying? Like, or you know, um, that made me feel a certain type of way when you said that. You get what I'm saying? I feel like it's it's needed, it's healthy, you get what I'm saying? It's healthy, and I feel like I just feel like the music should the music and the art should reflect that. You get what I'm saying? And and like I kind of like I listen to the drill music, and I'm like, I listen hard because I'm like, man, is is it in there? You get what I'm saying?
SPEAKER_09Like, even something the pain and the aggression that you feel from the pain, yeah. You know what I'm saying? Yeah, yeah, I totally agree with that. Um, but I think that that's something that that's something that's like learn behavior as you mature.
SPEAKER_03Isn't it everything? Isn't everything learn behavior?
SPEAKER_09Yeah, as you mature, so you got rappers starting at uh way younger ages, yeah, than they did in our generation, right? And every generation before them, and they seeing, I mean, we saw wild shit too, but they're more vocal about the wild shit, and there is this platform, social media, where all that stuff brings money, it brings attention, it brings opportunity, you know what I'm saying? So it's something to capitalize off of, so you know, as they mature and they see that there are better ways, you know, um, to get through those moments and to deal with those feelings, I think they will. I mean, look at look at G Herbo. I was just talking about him too. Um, I love the way he's matured, you know, and his focus on mental health, and now he could slide on any type of record, and it's authentic. We respect it, you know, it's real because he allows himself to be vulnerable, you know what I'm saying? And show both. So I just think that we gotta give grace and allow them that same opportunity to make that progression, but we gotta be real OGs in it and be like, yo, you need to make that progression. This is what that looks like. G Herbal had resources and people around him that already made those transitions through those spaces, so he had access that a lot of young people don't have access to. Yeah, you know, you gotta have the right people in your ear at the same time.
Kanye On Air And Radio Shift
SPEAKER_03So speaking of such, can you think of a time that you wish a motherfucker told you no instead of telling you yes?
SPEAKER_10That's a funny ass question.
SPEAKER_04Shit. That's a stumper.
SPEAKER_09No. Man, you know what? All this shit happened for a reason.
SPEAKER_03I'm a firm believer in that. I am a firm believer in that shit.
SPEAKER_09All this shit happened for a reason, and you're supposed to be where you're supposed to be for a reason. I was finna say I shouldn't have never let. Uh Kanye came to the club when I was on air at GCI. And he wanted to do, and I was uh they went live without telling me. I told them don't go live. They were so excited, them motherfuckers went live, and all the cursing the potty mouth went right over the GCI airwaves. Oh I got in trouble with that shit. I was like, I told them niggas don't go live. I was in charge of my crew, and I told them don't go live, and they got so geek, like Kanye's on stage, and went live. But I take that back because I just think it was time for me to do something different.
SPEAKER_03Speaking of such, how did you make that transition that transition into radio anyway?
SPEAKER_09Um, so in between the time where we were leaving relativity records because they were closing down, and um, we had the option to go to loud, so we were discussing that option at the same time. Um V Dub and Lil John told my producer, my brother, too, Terry Hunter, like yo, Sundance is doing a show, and um, I think she was going to Memphis at the time, and they want they looking for somebody to fill her slot and do the A side and B side. And they was like, We think Tifa be perfect for that shit, yeah. And that's how that happened, and I ended up doing that.
SPEAKER_03That's dope as hell. It was, yeah, like I was I was uh it was it was real cool to hear a voice over the radio after hand, you on the records.
SPEAKER_09I'm like, damn, yeah, yeah, that's it was a it was a natural once I got comfortable to being on the mic, yeah. You know, it was a very natural transition, okay. Yeah, because it's different, like performing in front of large crowds, you know, or recording in the studio versus being on a microphone and it's nobody there, you just in the room with the bike and it's moments, yeah. You talking to your damn self, so it's like you gotta have a conversation with people like they there, but they really not fucking there, right? That just takes knowing your people, you know. Yeah, so once I got comfortable with that, it was dope.
How Chicago Radio Can Do Better
SPEAKER_03Yeah, what do you what do you think um Chicago radio can do better for its artists?
SPEAKER_09Um being a part of the ecosystem for entertainment here. Um so I think that like when you're in Atlanta, it sounds like you're in Atlanta on the radio. When you're in New York, you can tell you're in New York on the radio. They're playing national hits, but they're also playing a large amount of local artists, you know, with really good music. And that ends up breaking those artists, and then those artists tend to go on and be national artists. Um, so I think we need like ecosystems with that. So that's one thing, and then I feel like it should be uh ecosystems of promoters for actual outlets for these artists to perform, yeah, DJs, um, to get that music play on the radio and in the club, and then even the jocks that are on air that are you know talking about these artists and what they got going on to get their names going and buzzing and make them, you know, make them familiar with people for on a regular basis. So when they have an opportunity to check them out, they do it, they don't just skip past it like it's nothing because it's no co-sign there, it's no support or confirmation of that artist. Um, also, like I think it's bad for art, like true artists that are true creatives, and you kind of touched on this and what it means to be a true creative. They often don't work jobs or demanding jobs, their art is their job. If you got a producer, he is locked in his room where he creates until he sells a beat, and then he sells a beat, and then he go back in, and he sells a beat and he goes back in. He's not working the job, everything is going into that music, right? So I feel like you can't charge people like that for looks. It has to be some access to opportunities for artists that are solely creatives, like everybody ain't a D-boy, everybody don't have money to drop you whatever racks to get a spot. Like, you know what I'm saying? Like, I'm talking about even to open up and perform. I'm talking about to be on the radio, I'm talking about to be in the mixes or whatever that is, not even saying that I know um how exactly it is right now, but I have an understanding. I've been there, I'm slightly removed from that space um on that side of it. But just you know, understanding that artists need opportunity where you're not trying to get a bag off of them, yeah, yeah.
SPEAKER_03You trying to rape them. Well, you're trying to break their pockets.
SPEAKER_09Can you imagine somebody trying to charge H E R for every song played before or J. Cole before everything? He wouldn't be J. Cole, right?
SPEAKER_03But we do that. Well, let me not.
SPEAKER_09I don't want to so I think that that needs to happen too. Like, you know, it needs to be some grace given. If we truly want um this market to lead in the music industry, we have to prioritize it, meaning everything can't have a price tag on it. It just can't. It just can't. And and and the DJs gotta push for it in the DJ world, promoters gotta push for these artists in the promoters' world, Jops gotta be talking up the artists, you know, with the opportunities and the resources that they got. Um, and it don't have to be just like one ecosystem for everybody, but it can be small ecosystems where these groups of people from these different areas work together to help push people forward, and that's gonna bring money here, it's gonna bring opportunity here. Think about it when dirt got on, people start making money, yeah.
SPEAKER_04Right?
International And The New Hip House
SPEAKER_09Yeah, got on, people start making money. Yeah got on, a lot of people got on with Ye. You feel what I'm saying? Jeremiah got on, a lot of people got on with him. So that's how you build that up. You don't build that up by charging creatives for every little step towards success that they take. It's just not it gotta be some. I'm doing this for the love of the culture and the music, and because you dope. It has to happen.
SPEAKER_03Speaking of dope, the single international, super dope, super dope. Thank you, Terry Hanna, DJ Jazzy Jeff. How did how did that come about? I mean, the the the record is the record is fucking phenomenal. Real shit. How did it come? How did it come about?
SPEAKER_09So that's actually a remix of the original.
SPEAKER_03Okay.
SPEAKER_09Um and then um I gotta make sure I say his name right. Katie Tatum, he's so cold.
SPEAKER_03You know, I ain't gonna even lie to you. I I knew I couldn't say it right, that's why I didn't say it. You know, he's so cold.
SPEAKER_09Like, he has a catalog of amazing production. Like, check him out. He's from London, he's from overseas, he's cold. You gotta check him out. Um, GQ put me up on him, and of course, Jeff, right? Because I heard the record and was like, yo, I had the DM, bro. Like, you amazing. He's like, Thank you, you are too, you're brilliant. I'm like, dope. But um, so the original was produced by Terry Hunter, right? We dropped that a while ago, and we had the remixes actually sitting, but it was so much stuff going on. We had not just another house party going on, we had the everything blends uh podcast that we were in production for going on. It was so many things going on. So packaging these remixes because DJ Todd did one too. That's Terry's son, okay, kind of got pushed to the back burner. So it was like, all right, we got a whole project, like, yo, we gotta put these remixes out, though. Like, we gotta hit with Jeff. So when we were out in uh Italy in Naples, we was like, Let's shoot the video. So we shot the video while we were out there, and man, just dropped it. Jeff killed that shit.
SPEAKER_03That shit was dope as fuck.
SPEAKER_09He killed it.
SPEAKER_10The energy is crazy.
SPEAKER_03That shit is dope as hell. I heard that and I was like, nigga, I was at work. I'm like, nigga, shit dope as well. Yeah, yeah, me it it just it just solidified the power of music, you know what I'm saying? Like, it just solidified the power of music, and I I it I'm I truly, truly, truly appreciated that record because I'm like, it made me feel good, you know what I'm saying? Like, and that's that's what it's supposed to do, you know. And I like I like the way you rolled the beat, like you was in the pocket, you know what I'm saying? The lyrics is on point, it's it's it's just dope. Like, you that's your hotest fuck. Yeah, thank you. That's it. That's your house.
SPEAKER_09Yeah, we I really feel like what we're doing with the house and hip hop is really like I know that there's hip house, that's a whole category that has been done before. Fast Eddie, Sundance. I'm already up, I know, right? But I feel like the way we're doing it is creating another genre. Yeah, like yeah, I kind of figured that if you hear more music, you'll be like, Yeah, it is, it is hip house, but this shit different.
SPEAKER_03It's you can move to it, you can move to it, and and I feel like I feel like for DJs that shit helped because you know, like sometimes motherfuckers be saying, like they asked the question, like, damn, why all these DJs be playing this old shit, like 90s, like 90s shit, 2000 shit, and then like niggas, because the shit y'all making right now, all you can do is shoot motherfuckers off of it. You know what I'm saying? You know what I'm saying? So when you when you hear shit now, like when I hear the Astr National joint, it's like it's some shit that you can move to. And I think that sometimes some artists, I don't wanna I don't wanna make the blanket statement. Some artists forget that. Like, nigga, you wanna make some shit people can move to. You get what I'm saying? We don't just want to shoot all day. You know what I'm saying? Like, everybody ain't got ups, my nigga.
SPEAKER_09Like, damn, you know, no, I'm with you. Feel good, like that's important to me. Um, feeling in music. That's how I kind of decide what I'm writing about based on the emotion that's already in the beat.
SPEAKER_03Yeah, yeah. I mean, but you you did your thing. So I definitely do kudos on that straight up. Thank you.
SPEAKER_04Thank you.
