Black sets Brooklyn on Fire

[Music] so what's up everybody I'm here in Brooklyn right now um we have the show tonight in Crown Heights but first I get to take you guys somewhere awesome that means a lot to me I'm heading to the offices of 246 if you don't know 246 is a I guess I would say kosher or Jewish uh streaming platform that me and my family absolutely love and adore it's been great for us but they have these MP3 like solos that have become they're like taking over the whole entire Jewish world everybody has this so I'm going to go and pick up some but I'm actually going to go and talk and discuss some business over there at 246 so take you guys along with me David's going to take me David say hello what [Music] up you know it's a nice car and everything but I don't know if this my size [Music] hey guys what's up I'm here and uh we're going to cross the street and we're going to go you know I think before this app was a big struggle for a lot of the parents because you know even there many different type of things that they tried to do on you know on like uh Spotify for music to modify what type of music you're listening to even if there's profanity and not profanity but sometimes it's bigger than that sometimes we want faith-based content and we want content that uh is going to be good for the kids to listen to and you know you can put it on and you don't have to worry about it so these guys have created an app to do that for a lot of parents especially uh religious parents right but you know really for anybody I think even for other people of different faiths that want to be able to put the the music on for the kids and to know that uh you don't have to worry about the stuff that uh they're going to be hearing so let's go in and let's go check it [Music] out brother how are you how it goes it how's it going I'm never by myself Hashem is always with me bathroom coffee uh I'll take water and coffee you have real coffee okay guys I couldn't have you guys in the whole entire conversation but I'm here I got some swag I'm coming with my solos my kids are going to love me you know I'm usually the guy where everybody says you know can I take a picture with you for my kids or whatever so you know so my I could seem cool so now that I'm coming home with 24 sixes I get to be cool cuz my kids already don't think I'm that cool so anyway I wanted to ask here because this is the founder this is The Man Behind the Music I want to ask you what like how do you have the courage how did you have the guts what made you do it what was the what was the driving force inspiration behind starting 246 first of all you are cool so don't listen to your kids you arek you thank you it was easy in it was an absolute honor to meet you and to have an hour with you to talk about music and hashkafa and it was just incredible beautiful I'm leaving here more inspired than what you guys could possibly imagine by the way me too we did this because there was just a need there was my kids wanted iPods and iPhones to listen to music we as CLA have to keep to what's for us and there's incredibly talented people making incredible Jewish music present company included and every other platform is just dangerous with one touch of the keyboard with one click you can be off the reservation in two seconds right and I didn't want to build a company that's some cheap low-end basement thing we spent millions of dollars and continue to spend to make an absolutely breathtaking experience but kosher everything is through and anybody can filter to customize it because my taste might be different than yours and Mya is different and we're all many you know there are 12 all different ways and different paths but we all go One Direction and music is the highest level in Shay it's the direct path to the abish to get close to Hashem and it should be done in a vehicle that's kosher in a product that's kosher that's amazing that's for us built by us okay I'm already sold I'm already sold I got some swag I'm going to take some stuff like he said we talked and I'm leaving here so inspired like in the first I don't know first five six minutes or whatever I already had so much so much like strength I'm walking out of here with a high and I also take some swag with me but this has been amazing so if you don't have the app yet make sure you download 246 if you don't have the MP three solos not really MP3s but the solo 3 that comes from 246 that specifically has has you know good kosher music on it kosher uh videos and different things like that on the app make sure you go and get it it's just amazing okay guys so just coming out of that meeting you guys have no idea how inspired I was like um just to see the adversity everything that they have gone through to make this app a success and you wouldn't think so because they're trying to do something good but whenever you want to do something good you will have challenges my Rabbi sh marush told me that whenever you work to do the good thing the right thing you're going to have people encounter you even if it seems like they're coming from the right place it's crazy and because of that this brings up something very very big to me is that you have to believe in yourself you know I remember for myself you know when I uh decided to come back to music to rapping and all that specifically cuz leaving it it just really because rapping itself for being honest is an arrogant sport you know we even at the best if you get you know a rapper that's clean usually somehow would make mention of how much better they are than the next person whatever that's just a sport of hip-hop which is really I felt at the time was something that was taking me away from uh humility taking me away from all the beautiful qualities of what it was and in the direction that I was growing in terms of coming close to Hashem and so what I decided to do was to step away from it and when I came back it was so hard for me uh in many different ways Shalom how you Shalom so was so many different ways so many different things that I decided that I would come back but I want to make sure I'm doing it right I want to make sure that I'm doing it with Hashem and I didn't even think about all the challenges I would have with the religious world and all that I just wanted to be obedient to what I felt Hashem was calling me to do and so I did that it's pretty windy out here how you doing sh and so I did that and I could tell you that one of the things I've definitely seen is that when you make it your business to do what it is that God has called you to do in your life you will see success 100% of the time oh sorry thank you and if you don't do that then you will not see the success that's just a matter of what it is even if things appear to be that way I know I've said that before but it's so important to make sure that your moves are aligned with God and even if it seems unconventional to other people or it seems like it's not the right thing to do can you imagine Abraham telling everybody that God told him to go and to slaughter his son of course you can't imagine that I couldn't imagine it how was how was he getting that over to his friends but but he was so sure and the end he didn't but he was so sure that Hashem wanted him to do that and ultimately he endured a test that would Elevate him to Heights that he never would have thought was imaginable so stick with Hashem do what Hashem wants you to do go in the direction Hashem wants you to go and you will succeed [Music] what's up everybody we are in Brooklyn right now on the way to a show in ground Heights so I don't come to Brooklyn as often as I should when we have a show um today like a Unity Concert I think coacher deals a few other people on the on the bill it should be something very very interesting singers how I don't come here so much but you know when I think of Crown Heights I just think about the rebel think about the lababa rebel so I think about Mindy's the restaurant but you know he didn't pay me to say that I'm just being honest that's what I think about when I'm in everything is happening whiskey is underway um at least the the hustle is right now this is obviously something that's become more of a passion project than I anticipated but uh it's definitely become a passion project and very very excited about it but we're moving everything's happening I feel it I can see it the electricity is there okay look looks as though we made it oh yeah thank you very much appreciate you all right you have a

you guys Fe after me here we go [Music] [Applause] [Music] hey what's up everybody I'm on the way to the airport finally getting to go home after 10 days I wouldn't say they were brutal this was actually you know I think maybe just because my last tour was so intense it felt a little bit more relaxed but the truth of it is is that I'm beat by the end of every tour I'm just wiped out so much like spiritually physically emotionally mentally and as much as I trying to you know now make a conscious effort to make sure that all of you guys are there with me along the way it's not always so easy because can't take you for everything and um there's so much that you guys actually miss if I had somebody with me to record and to take whatever then you guys will be able to be privy to much more uh than what you are but uh it can be exhausted in that's the whole point point that it could be exhausting physically mentally emotionally spiritually so it takes me a few days when I get back home to just readjust realign myself and to you know get back into the mode of things but I enjoy my time here we started in punana uh we went back from there I think we had something in New York the private went to Boston and went to Dallas and uh came back to New York for a few gigs um had some meetings some awesome things um took place here so hopefully other big news coming very very soon is that to share my hope but yes I'm on the way to Israel JFK flying out hoping to land back home at 7 in the morning on Friday which is a of Shabbat so or a of shabas and I can't wait to see my wife and my kids but one thing about being on the road you meet awesome people you know uh that's a big thing you know was like the like like our people cuz the amount of love the amount of uh just hasset that I've been able to see and I always get to see this on the road and meeting people you know uh it's just most beautiful thing but at the end of the day the important thing is to be at home with the m and I cannot wait to get back I honestly tell you that but thank you guys for coming on the journey
