Rob Markman, But talk about what's the process in the studio, when you started making music, at what age? Because I know you blew up at like 18, 19. Rob Markman, Yeah. You got to go from the beginning, because a lot of people don't even know, you was with QC first, right? Rob Markman - Oh man. Rob Markman - And then you kind of like, branched off and really kind of did your own thing though, and was successful. Because a lot of that don't happen sometimes. Rob Markman - Yeah. Rob Markman - You being down with a label that's that big, and then the artists go do their own thing.
6:24Rob Markman - Yeah. Rob Markman - It don't always end the way you might want it to end, but it wasn't too crazy like that. But you went and did your own thing and was successful. Rob Markman - Yeah. Rob Markman - Really like turned that shit up, man. Talk about that - Rob Markman - I didn't even know he was on QC. Yeah, we were on QC, got away from them and turned them fucked up.
6:37Tony Yayo:Oh, so that's where the song with the Migos come from? Nah, nah, nah. I was with the Migos before QC was like a thing, type of thing, you know? We was collaborating on a couple of projects, like some mistakes we were doing. But yeah, I signed with QC. Like, well, actually, Migos signed with QC first. and they like they got a deal but I was at the crib with them like in the process so I was kind of like I was kind of hurt I was like y 'all nigga got a deal y 'all left me at the house that's messed up y 'all nigga that left a nigga at home heard you heard you but a couple like a week later I got a call from P like yo I'm trying to sign you but I hear you be finessing and shit you funny shelter P he said you be finessing He said you be finessing.
7:30Yeah, he said, oh, you be finessing shit. They told me you be finessing shit. But I'm trying to give you a deal. I'm like, oh, yeah? I need two things. I need a check right now. And I need my engineer to pull up with me. So, shout out to Tilly. Oh, look at that. Okay. So, that's how that went. So, I signed with QT. I was probably signed with them for like two years or something like that. But you know, I feel like at the time, their main priority was the Migos. So I was like, I want to get the same looks that they gained at the time, you know what I'm saying? So me and P, we kind of bump heads and I was like, you know, I just, I want to do my own thing.
8:15You know what I'm saying? So I packed up all my clothes from Atlanta and I got on a plane and I moved to LA.
8:21Tony Yayo:Rob Markman - So what makes you give you this thought process at a young age, like yo, all right, cool. I want to be the main priority on this label. Rob Markman - He right though, cause not even the main priority. Most artists, cause most artists would just stay like, damn, I'm gonna just wait my turns. But you would be so young to be like, yo, nah, this ain't working. Yeah, I would've just wait my turn. I feel you, right? Facts. Man, I feel like, honestly, it was like, okay, so before I signed to QC, or before QC came in the picture with Amigos or anything, it was like a team thing. Like we were working together.
8:54I had an account on live mixtapes and I would like act as a DJ and I put all my songs on the mixtape with Migo songs and Future or fucking whoever's the hottest artist. And I kept on dropping tapes like that. And all the DJs, you know what I'm saying, they were tapped in with me and shit like that. So I already knew what it would take to get there. You know what I'm saying? I already knew. I know what it takes. so the process is not moving with me. I was signed and I was like, okay. I see they shit taking off but you know, I need to do my thing. So I moved to LA and shit and then
9:38QC won like $500 ,000 for me to get out the deal. Damn. Did you even make them$500 ,000 at this time? Okay, no. I never dropped any music on any streaming platforms I think I dropped like two songs. I ain't dropped nothing. All my shit was on SoundCloud and shit. But when he asked me for the$500 ,000, I think I had like$4 ,500 in my pocket. Man, did you feel a little fucked up? Like, damn, that's what you want. You fucked a little fucked up. What you mean a little fucked up?
10:09Tony Yayo:You said you had$4 ,500. You want one and a half a million. Yeah, I was... So what the fuck did you do? Crazy story, man. It's a crazy story. Who did you borrow, my nigga? No, no, no. Who did you finesse? They called you the finesser, nigga. So, no, who did you finesse to get this fire to dance with? It's a crazy story. So, somehow, right? It says somehow. In my phone, I have the contacts. I had to, like, I don't know what happened, but I got locked up on time. And I think I plugged my phone somewhere or something, and I got somebody else's contacts in my phone. So, if you look at my phone, I got Miley Cyrus number, Frank Ocean, I had Kanye number before I even met him.
11:00I don't know how the fuck. That's fucking crazy.
11:03Tony Yayo:It's a crazy story. So you had all these people numbers in your phone? Yeah, in my phone. At the time, PX and put his half a million dollars contract. So what happened next? But I don't know how I got the contact but like last year I found out it was Cortez Bryant context but so at the time I ain't had no money so I got on the context and I just started calling labels I'm like Capitol Records yeah this Rich The Kid I'm trying to get a deal call them Universal yo this Rich The Kid I'm trying to get a deal just calling everybody that's crazy until shout out to Manny Smith Manny Smith answered my call he like he's like are you trying to get a deal come down to Interscope office I was like damn I got a meeting look at that you know what I'm saying so I went down to the office I played the album for somebody who I thought while I was meeting but it was like actually somebody else like his assistant or something so he come in the room and I'm like yeah I need half a million dollars these are the songs I got I played on the project he was like alright I'm gonna let you know give me two weeks alright So, damn, two weeks went by, and he was like, I got you the deal.
12:26Oh, shit. I got you the deal. And all you wanted was the half a million dollars to get out the contract? No, no, no. That was initially what, that's where I was like, I'm stuck in a contract for half a million dollars right now. Okay. So when he came and drew up the contract, and I told him, actually, I don't have any money either. So, yo, buddy. I ain't got no money either. Oh, half things have changed. Don't be on the top. He said, oh, half things have changed. That's true, man. So I'm like, yeah, I ain't got no bread. And so when he did some research, he said, I hope you know that you're actually signed to$300 also.
13:09so I was signed to 300 and I didn't know about it oh look at that so and they wanted $300 ,000 to get me paid god damn
13:19Tony Yayo:now we go from $500 ,000 to$800 ,000 damn this is a story go ahead yeah so then plus I had to get paid so they threw a little sound extra for me they put me in a crib in LA and then I recorded New Freezer like like the first week maybe inside yeah first look at that okay look at that look at that i know that's so it's probably seven eight million but yeah it was a monster record it's a it's a crazy journey though just to have to get some yeah to get some contacts and all that by accident and just to call and for it to work out like that that was god's work man yeah that's crazy crazy story bro i don't I still to this day don't know how I got contacts but I was trying to figure out whose contacts they were so I was like one day I was actually out here and I'm like how I found out I typed in mom and called the person's mom and then she was like I was like yo you got somebody in the music industry your son or something she was like yeah it's Cortez Bryant he managed Lil Wayne oh that's how I got it But I don't know how, cause I never met him right then.
14:41Tony Yayo:I've never heard of somebody get a deal like that. That's crazy right there. That is crazy. It's meant to be, it's meant to be. You can't, it was just meant, man. So when you dropped Freeza, it was a hit record. I know Interscope was obviously excited, cause oh shit, he has a hit. How did you feel? Man, I was ecstatic. It was crazy. It was, I think that was like the second song I dropped with Interscope. and like four weeks after I had the song out, I recorded Plug Walk. Well, I came to them. I was like, yo, I got the song Plug Walk and I would like to drop it. They're like, no, no, slow down.
15:19You just dropped the song, a hit record last month. I was like, yo, I feel strong about this record. Like, I fuck with this one. And they didn't want to drop it. So I kind of argued them down like, yo, let's drop it. And then they dropped it. and then I think it went platinum in like 27 days.
15:38Tony Yayo:Rob Markman, Jr.: Congratulations on that. Yeah, definitely. Plug Wolf. Preciate, man. Rob Markman, Jr.: Crazy. Got some boogers in there. Show that murder, that diamond in this here, man. You got another one too, man? The fuck? There's one over there too, yeah. Rob Markman, Jr.: Nigga blinding me with that motherfucker.

So it seemed like you was business minded. starting the game, cause you had your own label. Yeah. You talk about that, J.
16:09Tony Yayo:Critch and Famous Dex, right? Yeah, so actually before I signed to Interscope, I signed Famous Dex and I got with 300 and I did like a label deal with them. Wow. Yeah. So talk about that a little bit. What made you so - Oh, you wound up going back to 300. Yeah, I ended up going back to 300. Okay, look at that. because i ended up i met leor so then i ended up calling you i'm like you know the deal and i'm i'm trying to think i'm not sure if it was before or after i signed when let's go but i know i called leor and i was like yo i got an arson on the side and then um they instantly was like they was down to it that's dope and where'd you find j critch he's from brooklyn right yeah brooklyn Shout out to my boy, Grahams.
17:02My boy Grahams right here.
17:03Tony Yayo:All right, shout out to the Queen. Come on, Brooklyn. That's right, baby. Brooklyn in the building, baby. Queens in the building, too. Yeah, sir. I'm surprised my boy Thuggin' and Buckethead with you, man. My boy, Viking. It's a Queens native that wrote with wrist and kid, too. Queens, Far Rockaway. Shout out to my guy, Viking. Shout out to the Viking. So, we're famous. Any famous deck from somewhere else though? Yeah, he from Chicago, right? Yeah, yeah. I've just been seeing him on live. I see him online everywhere. At one point, I was like, man, this nigga on there entertaining as fuck. I DM him and then we FaceTime and I flew him out.
17:42You had a whole project with NBA Youngboy, right, man? How that came about, man? Man, just working a lot. You know what I'm saying? We were doing a lot of records. and then I think I already, he was locked up. He called me, he was locked up, he called me. He was like, yo bro, when I get out, we gotta drop this album. I was like fire. So when he got out, I flew to Baton Rouge and then I sat down for a couple weeks. We cooked up. We cooked up, I hooked him in Baton Rouge. Then when he was able to move, I think we finished the project in LA. I think it was Jason Derule got a studio that he had booked out to us.
18:32So we finished it over there. Yeah, that's my brother.
18:36Tony Yayo:How do you be business minded at such a young age? Usually when artists are getting the money, they're getting the females, they're driving the cars. You're not thinking about starting your own label like Rich Forever you did in 2016. It's like you was the head of the game to be a CEO, not just an artist. Where does that come from? Definitely from being a hustler, you know. But I also think seeing what P was doing, signing artists, you know what I'm saying, how I just left it. Like I just had to give this nigga 500 ,000. You know what I'm saying? So I was like, shit. So you was soaking in that game from P.
19:11Would you ever do that to an artist though, man? Huh? Would you ever do that to an artist? Ask him for 500 ,000? Yeah. You never know. Oh man, damn. Yo, Jay Critch, watch this nigga, man. Watch this nigga, man. Yo, Critch, you gotta watch this nigga, man.
19:24Tony Yayo:Yo, business is business, man. P is a genius for that, man. He's sitting up good with the millions, man. Yo, Brooklyn, we gotta watch this nigga, man. Nah, it's dope, so you soaked in that game from P. QC, I never knew you would sound to QC, that's crazy. I was like, mm-hmm. You know, he's a genius. He had fucking Migos, City Girls, Little Baby, the list goes on and on. You know what I mean? You know what I mean? So then you just started learning everything. You was watching them. You one of them niggas that soak in that game. That's what you telling me. Because you was young to have your own rich family.
20:01I was probably like, you know, inspired of course, watching what he was doing. You know what I'm saying? Even though we were bump heads, I was still, you know what I'm saying? Like nigga getting young niggas out the hood and making it happen. So that was dope. Mm-hmm. No, I gotta respect that.
20:17Tony Yayo:How was it like from artists to CEO? How was that like transitioning?
20:24I feel like just having a good team of my boys around me, Grahams, Ralph, Marshall. It's all my people. I think we just had to learn and adapt to the changes as it went. You feel what I'm saying? It was not like we sat there and we planned, okay, this is how we're gonna do it. We're gonna get a big label. You know what I'm saying? I feel like we just had to adapt like, oh you gonna sign this all right let's do it so yeah i wasn't working with lil wayne man you know he considered one of the goats in this hip-hop shout out to little wayne yeah he is a goat man man amazing bro i never thought i was like we doing an album with lil wayne when i was young listening to his music and listening to um mixtapes his albums like i was like that was the studio working together on the lottery system Yeah, it was in studio, we were getting together a lot of that shit.
21:18So yeah bro.

Because you started your label in 2016? Damn. 15 years, yeah, yeah. Well, 10 years, whatever, 10 years. But he still had records before that. So we're talking about the B4.

You could make a record with the Migos where it's going to bump in Atlanta, or Plug Walk, it does have a Southern feel, a Cali feel. Rob Markman, I mean, Plug Walk feels like it got a Cali feel, and then Freeza feels like it kind of got a New York feel me like all your music.

54:49Tony Yayo:Because it's like you got good music, but you in the good rooms too, like Travis Scott. playboy cardi kanye how the do you make deals like like how do you even get in a room with these niggas oh everybody obviously with you and your music officer so one of that time oh i think i had a show i had a show in dubai i was doing a show in dubai and i seen ty dollar sign post like he was in saudi arabia and i had a day off so i'm like you in saudi arabia you working on and the album went, yeah, album damn, just hop on a flight. So I hopped on a flight. I took a taxi to the resort. When I got there, they put me in the room.
55:38I was like, yeah, record some shit. So I called my producer who made Plug Walk and I was like, yo, I'm in the studio, about to fix some shit up, send me some beats. I made the song in like 15, 20 minutes. And then Ty got on there and then we actually did two songs that day.
56:02Tony Yayo:Rob Markman 1 - So you tell your producer, I'm in the studio with Playboy, Cardi, Kanye, or you just tell him I'm in the studio and he make a beat like that? Rob Markman 1 - No, at first I was just in the studio by myself. Ty wasn't there yet, it was just me just set up in the room. I was like, yo, just send me a bunch of shit. You know what I'm saying? And the Carnival beat sounded like some new age, like trap rock type of shit. Rob Markman 1 - It definitely was different. Rob Markman 1 - I was like, yeah, this beat sounds like something. You know what I'm saying? So I did it and then Ty came in, he put his part on there.
56:40And then we did two songs. Two weeks later, three weeks later, Ty called me like, yo, Yee said he wants you to be on the project. Which one of the two songs you think should be on there? And then I listened to both of them. I was like, oh yeah, it should be this one. So I told him kind of, and then like a week later, they sent me a version with Yee verse off. Yeah. I don't wanna get that. Damn, nigga.
57:10Tony Yayo:What the fuck? That was fire. Yeah. That shit crazy. But you take chances though. He said he was in Dubai. He could have been like, man, I'm chilling. Rob Markman, Sordy? Hold on, let me get that flight. Rob Markman, See, it's the power to pull up. This guy's just a smart guy. He's a hustler. He got the music. He got the hits. But one thing I'm realizing is he's a hustler, bro. That's crazy. He worked with every big artist. But just to be in these rooms and getting there, get a record with Kanye, Playboy Cardi, you know, Ty Dolla$ign. It's hard, bro. You know what I'm saying? And keep yourself relevant amongst the years.

He's on Mad Calm, man. What the fuck? That's my man. It's a label that Bad Bunny manager started. Okay. So I also got another project. Do you have a record with Bad Bunny?
