These days, now known more for, let's just say, not so good stuff.

Ryan Beattie was born in 1995, teenage pop vocalist famous on YouTube before collaborating with Brockhampton.

Sofia Reyes was born in 1995, chart-topping Mexican singer-songwriter who rose to international fame in Latin music.

with the hit single muevelo artists who unfortunately passed away on september the 25th include nikolai sokolov who passed away in 1965 at the age of 79 after a long-term illness he was a russian-american violinist and the founding music director and conductor of the cleveland orchestra and also conducted the seattle symphony Wanda Luzzatto passed away in 2002 at the age of 83 from natural causes.

He's been doing this shit for so long.

He's managed Brockhampton and has been on Tyler the Creator's team.

He's the GOAT and he knows that this was going to be an amazing thing for me eventually.

And I wasn't going to see that far into the future, but he was just looking around the room.

And then...

They shut him down on main stage, and so the whole crowd surged to stage two where Brockhampton was playing, and they almost fell over the cliff.

The whole crowd was so big they almost pushed them.

Where was it? Where was it at? at dodger stadium when they used to do it on the road around dodger stadium now they do it in a different way

His best for me by far now.

Number four, Rockhampton, Roadrunner, New Light, New Machine.

I mean, it was fucking R.I.P. Rockhampton, but goddamn, at least before they went out, they released an album that is also their best album to date and full of just fun, unexpected surprises, you know? A true hip-hop album, right? Like, with Buzzcut to open it off with some very, like, you know, Just, like, hyper beats, I would say.

Like, very, like, in your face, which makes sense since Danny Brown is on the track, you know? And then following up with, like, kind of like a calm down on Chain On with JPEG Mafia.

I'm like, damn, you know, we got Danny Brown and JPEG Mafia on a fucking album together and not on the same song? They should

Yes, man.

If you saw us, you're like, that's Brockhampton.

That's like...

i like that i like that

Not to mention, he's written with royalty like Beyonce, Tyler, the Creator, Miley Cyrus, and

Brockhampton.

All the way from California.

He's built a career rooted in honesty over hype.

I mean, that's your fingerprint, you know, as an artist is that confidence of this is me is everything.

Your story is interesting because you've succeeded so well at writing for other people and with other people.

How do you get involved in Brockhampton?

uh I became friends with Ian um I'd heard his record we uh we'd worked with a similar producer the same producer that produced his album American Boyfriend um I had worked with and he had posted the record.

He fit really well.

I actually learned about JPEG through a Brockhampton feature.

That's where I first heard him.

I love that there was immediate synergy with the phone call.
