00:00St. Bodie is here! Am I saying it right?
00:04Yeah, St. Bodie.
00:06I was so worried about if I was going to say her name wrong.
00:09Because my biggest pet peeve is getting people's names wrong.
00:13I hate it.
00:15You said it right. I get called St. Bodie or St. Booty.
00:19Like, I was talking to this London dude.
00:21He was like, hey, St. Booty. And I'm like, bruh.
00:25I mean, thank you. You think I got some ass.
00:29You can do some dope promo with that.
00:32Do you know what I'm saying? Like, t-shirts.
00:34Say booty?
00:35It's Bodie, not booty. Or something like that.
00:37That's funny.
00:38Or something like that.
00:39What's your son?
00:41I'm Aquarius.
00:42Okay, we get along. You like, I'm a Pisces.
00:45So we're like in the same month. So we're both kind of weird.
00:47Oh, bet. Yeah. Yeah, I'm pretty weird.
00:49I'm not gonna lie.
00:50Hold on.
00:51Hold on. Come here.
00:53My son wants to say hi.
00:55Oh, how are you?
00:56Hello.
00:57What's up, Blair?
00:58Hello.
00:59Okay, now go sit down.
01:01He wants to say hi.
01:05So we're outside in the backyard catching some sun.
01:08That's cool, though.
01:09Your son wants to be involved.
01:10You know what I'm saying?
01:11He understands mom's is, you know, she's popping out here in these streets.
01:15So that's cool.
01:16Yeah, I took him on set once.
01:18He went to one of my video shoots.
01:20And so he did pretty good.
01:21He's interested in it.
01:22So I see how it goes.
01:23I see how it goes.
01:24I bought him a piano.
01:25So we'll see.
01:26No doubt.
01:27As crazy as today has been, it's actually been a blessed day, all pun intended, because
01:32the new single dropped today.
01:34Hey, I'm excited.
01:35Big lit.
01:36So, and let me, this is the first time I was going to do, I was actually introduced to
01:41your music probably a couple weeks ago.
01:44My man told me, my boy EP was like, yo, you got to check this girl out.
01:48She's on the team.
01:49She's on the roster.
01:50And I think she's got a vibe.
01:51Let me know what you think.
01:52And I'm just like, yeah, let's, after hearing the music, I'm like, yeah, let's definitely
01:55set something up.
01:56Definitely dig your whole vibe and what you bring to the table.
02:00Just tell me a little bit about your story, girl.
02:03I am from South Central LA.
02:06I was adopted around 13 to move to Lancaster.
02:10But most of my, like most of my, I guess, stories come from me being in South Central.
02:15And then I know when I did move to Lancaster, I kind of left for two years and was just like
02:19in the streets being bad as hell.
02:21So like, that's where kind of a lot of my stories come from.
02:23It's just kind of like dealing with LA shit.
02:26You know what I mean?
02:27Being a dark skinned girl, looking at from, you know, cause a lot of, I feel like a lot
02:31of rappers, they get to like, when they're men, they get to talk about like their side,
02:35but no one really talks about like, well, what about that little black girl who liked
02:38to skateboard?
02:39You know what I mean?
02:40Who was awkward, who still was with the shit, but still kind of corny.
02:43You know what I mean?
02:44So I kind of, I dealt with all that growing up.
02:46That's where I, that's my, my, I guess my upbringing.
02:49And all due respect to all the female rappers that are, you know, doing their thing and
02:53in their bag right now.
02:54I think the game is missing somebody with that style, your style.
02:58I mean, I wouldn't agree, don't agree.
03:02Cause I'm like, I don't know who going to be.
03:04You know what I mean?
03:05Yeah.
03:06I'm like, I'm not even trying to be in a drama list, but I mean, I feel like right
03:10now everyone's kind of talking about like the more secular domineering situations.
03:14I'm more coming from like, I stand up for myself.
03:17So it's just like, like I did go revolver before I did bless and go revolvers about me
03:21taking my power back.
03:23Bless is about me getting a bag, not being down about the bad shit that happens in my
03:27life.
03:28And like, instead of like, you know, I'm a thick, I'm a thick bitch.
03:30You know what I mean?
03:31Like I'm a cute girl, but at the end of the day, I don't feel like my mind is way more
03:35attractive than my body.
03:36Like I don't, I can get old and this shit gotta work.
03:39You know what I mean?
03:40Facts.
03:41I totally agree with that.
03:43Uh, getting on the blessed record.
03:45Uh, you start off the record by your man going to, you know, your neighbor, like, whoa,
03:52this come from more than one occasion.
03:55This has happened more than one occasion, more than one occasion, man.
04:01I remember I had one incident where a dude called me and actually the girl called me while
04:06they was in the room, they was at like Ramada or some shit in the hotel.
04:09And she called me like, yeah, I'm with y'all niggas.
04:12Yeah, yeah, yeah.
04:13And he's like, yeah, I'm with so-and-so.
04:14And then a week later, baby, I'm so sorry.
04:16I was high off Molly.
04:18I didn't mean to do it.
04:20And I'm like, yo, you a dub.
04:21Wow, man.
04:23That's crazy.
04:24But that period, I just decided, I was just like, yo, I'm not about to let this small
04:27stuff get to me.
04:28You put it in your music and you made a dope single out of it.
04:31So.
04:32That part, give me paid.
04:33What we doing?
04:34For real.
04:35Tell them, thanks.
04:36Thanks.
04:37But, you know what I mean?
04:38You all right?
04:39Thank you for the experience.
04:40Yeah.
04:41So, tell me too, like, I was reading also that, you know, you've also worked with, I
04:46mean, Beyonce, Kiana Lede, who else?
04:51Lecrae.
04:52I did a record.
04:53I wrote the Lecrae record that just came out.
04:57I don't know what they called it, but I wrote it before it got re-sang.
05:00And then, I did not work with Beyonce personally.
05:03I don't know why they keep putting that shit in there.
05:05Yeah.
05:06I was curious.
05:07I was curious, you know.
05:08I'm around Burgundy.
05:09I can be reading what I be saying.
05:10I see what I read.
05:11I read what I see.
05:12Yeah, that part.
05:13You know what I mean?
05:14I was in her camp.
05:15And so, it was like, she personally, like, heard one of my records that I wrote called
05:18Blessed.
05:19Before, it is what it is now.
05:21And she just wanted me a part of some of the stuff that she did.
05:23I did not get a chance to really be blessed with her as much as, like, one-on-one time
05:27all the time.
05:28You know what I mean?
05:29And then, Kiana Lede worked with her.
05:31I know we were working on Rihanna's project.
05:33I did some stuff for Jaden Smith.
05:36And, yeah.
05:38I mean, still, that's dope.
05:39I mean, at the end of the day, I mean, being at a Beyonce camp is cool, too.
05:43Let me ask you something about these camps, because I was talking to St. John, probably.
05:48Oh, I love him.
05:49If you know him, like, come on, tell him that I love him.
05:51That's my dog.
05:52Like, yeah, yeah.
05:53I'll let him know I saw you, you know what I mean?
05:56But tell me about these camps, because he was telling me a few months ago about how he
06:01was at a Rihanna camp, and this is like, you know, they're just out here penning stuff
06:05up and, you know, with maybe the opportunity to sit down in the studio and work with them.
06:10So break it down to me how these camps work out.
06:13I mean, like, the A&R, whomever is, like, who scouted you, or however the record got
06:20to them, they'll end up hitting you up and then, like, they'll have their private locations.
06:25And then you just kind of, like, go in there and you just write your heart out.
06:28You need to work with other people.
06:29If you're the kind of person that doesn't like to write with other people, they'll just
06:32put you in your own room and you just pen as much as you want to.
06:34It's super simple.
06:35You just go in there and make music and cross your fingers.
06:37I feel like it's a sweatshop full of, like, great songwriters just, like, penning stuff
06:42for, like, artists of the world.
06:43I didn't say nothing.
06:44You said that.
06:45I'm just saying, like, hey, that's just, like, the image I have in my head.
06:48I feel like everybody's just in the corner somewhere, like, yo, you better pen something
06:51nice, like, but whatever.
06:53It is a little, it's a little, like, oh, fuck, I hope I get this place.
06:58It is a little bit like, oh, God, please, God, please align the stars for me right now, like.
07:04That's so funny.
07:05So what else are you into?
07:06I mean, I know you talked about, are you into skating?
07:08You were mentioning, like, you know, where's the skater chick, you know, image being held
07:12in, like, the rap game?
07:13So I can still skate.
07:15I haven't skated in a while.
07:16I'm not going to even sit here and cap on that.
07:19But I'm, like, anime.
07:21I play a lot of, like, PS4.
07:23I'm a gamer.
07:24I read.
07:25I'm kind of very, like, solo duddy, like, solo dolo, like, cutty type of vibe.
07:29I don't have a lot of friends, but I'm more into reading anime and PlayStation.
07:34Did you preorder your PS5?
07:36I did not.
07:37I'm waiting.
07:38I'm not about to deal with y'all.
07:40I refuse.
07:41I'm not dealing with it, man.
07:42I'm definitely not dealing with it, because I'm like, dude, like, no, I'm going to just
07:46wait, like, six months and then get it.
07:47I was actually talking to J.O. about this.
07:49And me and J.O. both agreed, like, let's just wait six months.
07:51Yeah, it's going to be pretty intense.
07:54I know I got friends that play Xbox, and they were losing it after the preorders for that
07:59went sour.
08:00Man, it's war out here.
08:02For these PS4s, it's war, y'all.
08:06So how have you maintained the creative process in putting out music during these COVID-19
08:13times?
08:14I don't know what phase Callie's on right now, but how have you pushed through?
08:19I'm trying to find shit to get into.
08:22That's it.
08:23Like, literally trying to find sessions.
08:25Can't go out nowhere.
08:26Can't go to math.
08:27Like, I'm a super kid, so I love, like, Dave and Busters.
08:31I like skating.
08:32I fucking, like, go into museums and shit.
08:35You know what I mean?
08:36So it's like, I can't do that no more.
08:38So I just say to my friends and be like, yo, let's just start something.
08:40Let's just work on something.
08:41Literally, this is probably the most self-reflective time I've ever had in my life.
08:44Like, I know way more about myself than I did last year.
08:47Yeah.
08:48No cap.
08:49I feel the same way.
08:50Like, this is, it's been an interesting year, but also, you know, the self-reflection definitely
08:54played a, you know, plays a part in, you know, kind of being home and having nothing
08:58to do.
08:59Niggas is bored.
09:00It's bored.
09:01Like, yo, damn, I really need to change some shit up.
09:03Like, I'm kind of lame over here.
09:05Like, I got to really start rearranging some things in life right now.
09:10But same Bodhi.

09:44Now, you know, you being on the team, the Dev Jam Squad.
09:47Also, you signed a publishing deal recently as well.
09:51I know Kanye's on the team.
09:53He's had some crazy, you know, we went on his rant about the whole publishing thing.
09:57How important is, you know, this publishing thing?
10:00Like, for somebody that probably doesn't understand what the hell he's talking about.
10:05I mean, I don't know.
10:09I hear Kanye, but I guess I just don't want to get in it.
10:12You know what I mean?
10:14Kanye West is like a fucking, like, I actually look up to him, but I don't agree with everything he be talking about.
10:21But I just want to see him do it.
10:23Like, if you're going to gas, let me see you do it.
10:25Because you actually, you know what I mean?
10:27Like, gas, do it.
10:29All right, cool.
