We are here at the 2025 BET Awards Red Carpet with the one and only Givion.
00:04
How are you doing tonight, man?
00:05
I'm so good. I thought I was going to be a little hotter, but it still feels cool and nice.
00:08
We got some time for the sun really beats down on us.
00:11
Okay, yeah, yeah.
00:12
Now, I know you got some new music on the way.
00:15
I've been running up 20s. What can we expect from the album?
00:19
Just more of that organic soul sound and just raw, vulnerable storytelling.
00:26
Just what you would expect from me, but just a little more elevated.
00:30
The songwriting is elevated.
00:32
My vocal is elevated.
00:34
And I grew not only as a man, but as an artist as well.
00:38
You've been working.
00:39
I love that.
00:40
Any collaborations we can expect on the album?
00:44
Just me again.
00:44
I don't know. I just like doing albums by myself.
00:47
I'll do features on other people's things sometimes, but for my stuff, I like to just...
00:54
Because I'm just venting almost and getting stuff off my chest, so it's hard to vent in there.
00:59
Has somebody else vent on top of your venting.
01:01
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
01:01
Got you.
01:01
That's beautiful, actually.
01:03
We're honoring Snoop Dogg and Mariah Carey tonight as the Icon Award.
01:08
What would you say is your favorite Mariah or Snoop song, or both?
01:11
Well, me and Snoop are both from Long Beach, California.
01:14
LBC.
01:14
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
01:15
You better represent.
01:15
So my mom was running up all types of Snoop Dogg, so it's impossible for me to pick.
01:21
Yeah.
01:22
Mariah Carey, I'm going to say we belong together, especially because I love the sample, the Bobby Womack sample.
01:27
But also, I'm excited for the 106 and Park tribute, too.
01:31
Who do you hope comes out for the 106 and Park tribute?
01:33
Honestly, I don't know, because I don't know.
01:35
Are they honoring even the last year?
01:39
They're honoring old school, like what we grew up watching.
01:42
Oh, okay.
01:42
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
01:42
Okay.
01:43
Yeah, no, I don't know.
01:44
I feel like anyone who ever went on the show could come out, so I'm excited to see it.
01:48
Yeah, I am, too.
01:49
We're also excited to see it.
01:51
We hope that you have a fantastic time inside the show tonight.
01:53
Oh, yeah, absolutely.
01:53
Always great linking up with you, man.
01:55
Thank you so much.
01:55
Take it easy.
