Welcome to Younghollywood. com. What's up guys? I'm Tatiana Diana. We have Trey Songs sitting with us right now during VMA week. How excited are you?
Ah, you know, VMAs are always crazy. Uh, you know, I'm getting ready for my show right now. I have another show tomorrow and VMAs are going around so uh, the energy around everything is crazy.
You're a super busy dude right now. You're on tour and then you're presenting at the VMAs. Can you tell us about that?
Well, you know, it's a amazing experience just to be part of what's going on, you know, uh, the VMAs are such a, uh, a big part of our culture, the pop culture, urban culture, rock culture. Uh, just our culture in general, the music and everything surrounding it. So to be a part of it, you know, and every every year it makes history. You know, we look back at it and say what happened crazy last year? What's going to happen crazy this year? You know, so I'm excited.
You've had a really, really busy year, a lot of hit songs and you have an album coming out soon. You want to tell us a little bit about that?
It's my fourth album and coming off the success of Ready, uh, I think it's my best album actually. Uh, and it's it's with the success of the singles Bottoms Up and Can't Be Friends dictating so early that they'll be big hits. Uh, you know, and very very much different. Bottoms Up, kind of a crazy like club record featuring Nicki Minaj who's very spastic on that on the song and Can't Be Friends which is like an emotional, you know, heart trenching kind of song heart wrenching, excuse me. And uh, the album has everything in between, so.
So it's a little bit of a mix of everything. We've got the melodic stuff and then also like dances.
You can you can party to it. You can, you know, do everything you need to do to it. I wanted to be the soundtrack to your life.
So what's the first single that's going to come off the album?
Bottoms Up featuring Nicki Minaj. It's out there. All around the world City to city, girls to the girls. I used to girls and guys. Now I got a chicken and a goose in a rocking loose and a ride. Hey, you know what I want to want to want to move to the side. Bottoms up! Oh. yeah! Go ahead and turn. Got a couple bottles, but a couple ladies now. Bottoms Up, bottoms up. Put your hands up. The security, we're about to tell this club. It's a hot song.
Tell us how you got together with Nicki.
Uh, well Nicki's the homie, you know. I've known her actually for a couple years now and it's uh, first time working together and uh, uh, she's uh, a doll. I love her. I love her energy. I love her character, you know, everything she stands for. She's major in in hip-hop right now and for women, you know, in hip-hop, just a big representation of what's coming in the future. Very much a leader of hip-hop right now. All around the world. Do you hear me? Do you like my body and a Nicki? Rest in peace to Anna Nicole Smith. Yes my day, you're so explosive. Say hi to Mary Mary and Joseph. Now bottom up and double my dose.
She's one collaboration, any other cool collaborations you want to tell us about?
That's the only there's only one more and that's my homie Drake. He's on the album. So, you know, Nicki and Drake.
Just your homie Drake.
Yeah, he's very talented as well.
How'd you guys get together?
Well, I've known Drake for years. Uh, actually, we've been working together probably for four, five years now. And uh, you know, uh, we just like to make music together. I'm happy for his success and, you know, we we've done a few hit records together now at this point and you know, we just going to keep adding to it.
So you have a lot of people that look up to you, especially in the music industry. For all the young people out there trying to make it, trying to do what you're doing right now. What advice would you give them?
Uh, just to stick to your guns, you know, uh, definitely believe in yourself and and remain humble. Definitely at the at the end of the day, it's it's all about your dream, it's all about the creativity and if you if you sleep on the dream, it'll always remain a dream. So, wake up and and go hard and and believe in yourself and let the nay-sayers say whatever they want, but believe in yourself because you're the one that has to get it done.
