I have been saving my little pennies for some time and FINALLY I was able to get my Apollo Twin! 🚨🚨🚨 When I tell you it took me a full WEEK to get the software and the interface to work with my Mac M5, changing security settings, pulling up with my producer community, and calling the dag gone sweet water and UA agents but I’m outchea yall 😂😂 The music is about to sound real expensive over here and I’m so excited for it. *insert cheese grin* 😏 The journey continues…elevation on constant. 💫💫💫 The intern never graduates. 🎓📚

Another one for the books 💣 Thank you @Kosine Palacios and friends for another great session, tonight was epic. @Taurean Rideau song was complete FIRE as per usual. Your elevation is a blessing to experience. Kenny is calling 😏 I took so many notes but the best part was witnessing the camaraderie. The energy was felt and a testament in real time to the importance of building with others. It may not always feel good but when you find your people and lock in, you appreciate it so much more. For now and as @Kosine Palacios said in one of our past sessions . . .it’s good to get in on the ground floor. 💯 The intern never graduates. 🎓📚

We opened the doors tonight and the room showed up. First Kookout in the books, and it set the standard for what these Tuesdays are going to be. The thesis: in a year when everybody is scared AI is coming for their work, the real question is not whether a machine can copy your sound. It is what it is even copying. The answer is your signature. The choices you make, the space you leave, the lived experience that no model has in its training data. AI can copy the output. It cannot copy the lineage. You cannot prompt a life. We were honored to have Phil Cornish in the room. Phil has played and produced with Kanye West, J. Cole, Alessia Cara, and Coco Jones, and his story is a masterclass on its own. He broke down how he got the call to a Kanye session with no brief, and how he won the room by doing the opposite of what most people do. He did not try to lead. He read the room, listened, found the objective, and delivered it without getting in the way. His point landed hard: success in collaboration is about role clarity, not ego. The greats partner with talent. They do not compete with it. Crystal pulled up and talked through her collaboration with Kosine and her new single "What You Doing," out June 19. Go support it. Kosine tied the whole night together with the through-line he has been living for years. Be different, not just good. Confidence and team-building over chasing a look. And the reminder underneath all of it: connection without expectation. Phil's career-changing run started with a chance meeting in 2012 and a relationship that was never transactional. We also sat with the difference between chasing the bag and being the bag, and a quick stop on the difference between profit and prophet. Same sound, different soul. The challenge this week: bring one original loop or verse built from scratch. No AI on the core idea. Be ready to defend your signature out loud. This is the work. Next steps: - Want favor in the room (priority questions, DMs, replays, cohort)? Become an Internz Academy member.

Family. We didn't have class last week and I felt it. I missed this room. I missed y'all. So I'm coming back tonight with everything I got. And listen, I'm excited about this one. The room keeps growing, more of us every Tuesday, and tonight we cook for real. We call it The Kookout, and you do not want to miss your plate. Tonight's plate: THE SIGNATURE. Why AI can copy your sound but never your soul. Your choices, your story, your 10,000 hours, the one thing in this business that can never be undercut on price. Cold open: a J. Cole clip from 2011 nobody has seen in 14 years. Studio with Da Internz, Roc Nation era. What he said that day became a receipt I'm still cashing. This plays once and it's gone, so pull up early. Click and you're in 👉 https://us06web.zoom.us/j/89691830849?pwd=lGabEp0l2bpD6vzSYo1W9UaphofHzM.1 Members eat first. Priority Q&A, that's favor. Drop a 🔑 if you're coming. Let's get back to it. The intern never graduates.

Family tonight is gonna be more of a Study Hall instead of our normal class. I got a lot going on this week behind the scenes between life, training for this celebrity basketball game this weekend, and just trying to balance everything. Honestly I’m just worn down right now. I never wanna get on here and force a class just to say we had one. If I show up I wanna really show up with energy and value for y’all. The live is open though so I actually want y’all to use this as a real study hall session. Tap in with each other. Network. Play music. Ask questions. Build relationships. Encourage each other. That’s a huge part of this community too. Use tonight to catch up on work, finish something you’ve been sitting on, organize ideas, clean up a mix, whatever you need to do. And if you need rest, get some rest too. Love y’all and appreciate everybody rocking with me always. We’ll be back in motion soon 💪🏾🏀🎶
