00:00Wild 94.1, wild94.1.com, Joey Franchise here, Papi Shampoo.

00:08This has to be the most littest, like, meet and greet I've ever seen.

00:11This dude's out here taking shots, he's wildly with the fans, I mean, it's just another day,

00:16huh?

00:17Sway Lee shit, you know?

00:18Sway Lee shit.

00:19Now, man, like, now you're on tour with Post Malone, I mean, was it the connection y'all

00:23made during Sunflower, which made it a no-brainer, supposed to be like, yo, Sway, I need you,

00:27man.

00:28So I've seen some of the behind-the-scenes stuff when it was going down.

00:31Explain what that, you know, that chemistry was like between y'all.

00:34Man, me and Post, we already know each other, like, for a long time or something, like, we

00:39just be vibing, like, you know, I'm a music head, he a music head, but we all like to live

00:43a real life at the same time, so I think that's where we connected, like, because we just really

00:47be having fun, you know, we drink corkscrews and stuff like that, corkscrews, yeah, Bud Lights,

00:53and we just be vibing.

00:54I'm all about the Bud Lights.

00:55Like, I was with Tyler Yahweh earlier, and we was just down with a bunch of Bud Lights.

00:58So, yeah, man.

00:59And you play beer pong with these guys, too?

01:01I play beer pong.

01:02Are you nice?

01:03Man, I got a little J. Flick of the wrist.

01:07You know what I'm saying?

01:08Now, man, tell me, now you're working on this solo project.

01:12What is it like?

01:13You got Drake on the single, you got Sextancy out right now.

01:16Tell me what it's all about.

01:17You said you was supposed to drop it before this tour started, so what was kind of the

01:21holdup?

01:22I don't want to drop it before tour, but I just care about this music so much that I

01:25want to make sure that it's the perfect time for the fans to get it.

01:28Like, where they can digest it the best way.

01:32Like, I don't want to drop it at the wrong timing, because timing is everything.

01:36Like, the type of music I got on there, I don't want it to go over people's heads.

01:40You know?

01:41I respect that.

01:42And I see you're very eclectic, man.

01:43Did you see yourself back in, like, No Flex Zone days, where you and Jimmy, like, to now?

01:48Like, where you guys are at, you know, as a group, yourself, doing your solo thing?

01:52Like, did you ever picture these things and having a hit record like Sunflower and how

01:55amazing that did on the charts?

01:57Um, like, when you're young and just thinking about it, like, you can imagine, like, what

02:01it's going to be like, but you never really know what it's really like, so it's like,

02:05it's nothing like what I expected it to be like.

02:06It's so much different, like, you know, you do something, something shock you every day.

02:11Like, when you're young, you think, oh, I'm going to be performing at a club, and that's

02:16what you think being famous is, but it's, like, so much more to come with it.

02:20So, yes and no.

02:22Like, I knew I would be, like, successful because I was going to make sure I worked,

02:25worked, worked until I received some kind of success, but I didn't know it was going

02:29to be this, you feel me?

02:30Right.

02:30It's just crazy.

02:30And yeah, you've always been above and beyond.

02:32Y'all remember hearing a story about you working at McDonald's and doing everything,

02:35and you're kind of like a utility man now when it comes to you walking around in the studio

02:38and some of the music that you pull from.

02:40Like, what are some of those inspirations?

02:44Some of the inspirations are just, well, actually, motivations,

02:47just, like, not going back to the, like, just not having shit.

02:50Like, I'll never go back to that shit.

02:53So, yeah, that's it.

02:54That's what's up.

02:55And now, I mean, you talked about a long time ago wanting to be a Miles Morales in a

02:59Spider-Man movie coming down the road.

03:01Yeah.

03:02And there's rumors, I'm going to get on my nerd stuff right now, but, like, Sony talks

03:06about doing a live action version of that.

03:08Would that be something that you want to, like, get on the phone and be like, yo, we need

03:11to pull the trigger on this?

03:12Yeah, Sony, hey, give me a call when y'all ready to make that movie, man.

03:14I can jump off walls and do all kinds of stuff, backflips, whatever y'all need me to do.

03:17I mean, you and Tom Holland probably about, you know, about the same height, so, you know

03:20what I mean?

03:21Mm-hmm.

03:22Now, tell me.

03:23I got the build for it.

03:24I already had the suit on.

03:25I'm going to send y'all the pictures of me in the suit.

03:27Because I was looking good in the suit, man.

03:28We with Sway Lee here as well, 94.1.

03:31Real quick, I want to talk about the album.

03:32Do you have a title for it?

03:34Yeah, I do have a title for it, but I can't even spill the beans on it, like, right now.

03:37It's just-

03:38G14 classified.

03:39Yeah, for real.

03:40Classified files.

03:41Like, I got to wait till after tour.

03:44I'm just like, I'm getting new fans every day.

03:47So, I want to wait till I got the most listeners tuned in, then just feed them.

03:52You know what I'm saying?

03:53Can we expect anybody else?

03:54Now, you got Drake.

03:55I mean, that's a big name in itself.

03:56Is there other big names that we can expect on this album?

03:58Or is it just a whole more focus on Sway Lee and just your-

04:05It's maybe some big names on there.

04:09I mean, you got Madonna, bro.

04:10That's a whole nother conversation.

04:11You've done this record with Madonna, so that's a whole nother conversation.

04:13You got to just tune in to find out.

04:17Say less, man.

04:18Can't wait for the album, man.

04:19The single's out.

04:20Won't be late.

04:22Yes, Sextasy's out.
