That's all I'm saying.
I have an album out right now called
Villain Origin Story. You flirting swway
and you know this
like no it is something in here but it
just so I'm a little delayed but not
that delayed. You flirting.
I like BB. I think she the [ __ ] and you
listen to her album Villain's Origin
Story and the way she writes speaks to
me.
Well,
thank you so much.
Absolutely.
I appreciate that for real. And
and that's what the album is about. It's
about telling a story. You know, I named
it villig villain origin story because I
feel like
everyone has been a villain in someone's
story,
right? You talk to one person and you
say, "How's BB?
I don't like me."
Or, "How's BB? Man, she's the greatest."
Everyone's a villain in someone's story,
right? It's about the POV. And so, this
album is my POV of the relationships
that I've been through, not just
romantic, but platonic, right? and just
going through my life and talking about
how I feel about those things, right?
Because we always say our truths, right?
So, it's okay to tell your truth, you
know? So, I always want to live in
authenticity. And so, that's why I named
this villain origin story.
Yeah.
So, you want to be the villain in her
story.
Hey, man.
Or you want to be the hero.
The choice is yours.
You could get with this. Are you naughty
or not?
I just want to be in the story. you
know.
Okay. This second record right here,
this record is called Everything You Do.
And it's basically, you know, everything
start off good in the beginning. Right.
Right.
It's roses and stuff.
And that's what this record is about.
It's called Everything You Do. Hey. Hey.

negativity, distractions. Period."

peace right here. Let it ring,

I've been floating on my own cloud
and my energies too red to share around.
So do not disturb my peace,
my peace in me. Yeah. See, I don't want
to be bothered always.
Don't knock on my door.
Instead of calling me,
just say it in a text. Yeah. Let it
ring.
Baby, baby,
let it ring. Let it ring.
Baby,
let it ring. Yeah, let it ring.
I'm not picking up on no one. When I got
peace right here, let it ring.
Baby, baby, baby.
[Music]
Mercury's in retrograde.

Pour a little in my cup,
then I manifest and pray. Do not disturb
my peace.

down. Don't knock on my door
instead of calling me. Calling.
Just say it in a text. Yeah. Let it

raise.
Let it rain. Pick up the phone. Heather,
pick up the phone. Heather,
I'm turning my phone off.
BB, you are exceptionally incredible.
You are the entire package.
Thank you.
Plus some.
Yeah.
The artistic expression. Fernando. I
know you recognize when she sings and
she expresses her lyrics. Did y'all
follow the story?
Yes, indeed.
Every detail is intentional. This is the
truth right here. BB. I even got a
question, Tracy.
Well, I do cuz baby is my new baby girl.
Hey, that's my homie right there.
Come out. Come on. Listen,
no, I really appreciate you and you're
also so effortlessly sultry. I got to
put that out there, too. Just the full
package. And we know um that you
collaborated with so many people. But I
also realized through the skill of your
songwriting, you're collaborating with
your audience, your listeners, because
not only does music um soundtrack and
environment, a vibe, but music can also
be the catalyst for our own
conversations. And so in that way, when
the record stops, the lyrics continue
through the dialogue we're having with
our friends.
Absolutely.
And I'm I'm wondering with this era
you're currently in, what are the
conversations you're hoping your music
prompts for black women specifically?
I always tell my friends when I'm
talking to them, I'm talking to myself,
right? I'm looking in the mirror and me,
my lyrics are me looking at myself in
the mirror, talking to myself in the
mirror. And so the conversation for them
is that they are enough,
that they are loved,
right? And not just the cliche cuz
people say, you know, you're enough,
you're loved, but like you can really
stand on your own two feet and have a
voice. And that's why I'm so big on like
the story of it, your POV, your truth,
because no one can take that from you.
You know, life is about perspective.
It's either the glass half empty, glass
half full, right? And so even in some of
my darkest times, some of the times when
I was like, I don't know how I'm going
to make it to the studio. I got nothing
in my tank. Whatever the case may be,
right? There was me talking to me and
telling me, hey, you got this. You can
do this. You are loved. Wait for wait
for the right person. Don't um have any,
you know, um have some self-respect and
all these things and all this self-love.
Um I have a song called self-care from
my last album. It's talking about I just
want to take a day off, have a me day.
Black women are not allowed to rest.
And I thought that if I worked harder
than everyone that I would be rewarded
with more
and I was not. And so my conversations
that I would love that I would hope for
everyone to leave with especially my my
women my black women my brown women is
it's okay to do those things to to talk
to be optimistic to love to love on
yourself to take those self-care days to
custom when you need to to let it ring
sometimes it's okay to do those things
you are enough and you are able you are
someone to be able to stand and do that.
Amen. Y'all give it up. Standing ovation
for BB.
BB. Let's take a picture, guys.
Y
greatness.
Here we
telling y'all, she already got four of
them.
Number five on the way. Give it up for
BB straight out of Compton.
B E E D-B. And I hope um just one more
thing, I am going on tour with Raheem
Devon. It's the 20 lessons of love tour
with my my big bro. He is I mean he's
the R&B king of the DMV. Okay. Yes, he
is.
And he's incredible in his own right and
I'm just so honored to be sharing the
stage with him on his second leg of his
North American tour. So if you are in
those areas during the holidays, please
come see us.
Absolutely. Give it up for BB. Come on,
man.
Let it rain.
