Jeremih

Thank you. You know, I'm just trying to keep it simple, man. Nothing real major, but glad to be here. LA baby. We out here. Shout out to the building. Def Jam is here. What's up?

Young Hollywood

Yeah, yeah. So tell me more about, you know, your experience with the BET Awards. You've been before and what do you love about them?

Jeremih

Well, this will be my actually my second BET attendance. You know, last year was the first one. It was actually my first time ever performing on live television. So, uh, it was a definite experience of a lifetime. Performing on the pre-show. Birthday Sex, obviously last year, was popping around this time and, uh, I just want to continue to keep coming back every from now on, every summer. So, it's going to be good for today.

Young Hollywood

Well, last year they did a really big tribute because obviously Michael Jackson's death was a big thing. I'm wearing a PYT t-shirt today. What do you think? What do you think?

Jeremih

I see it. I see it. It's dope. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, man, I feel like he's inspired the world. His music is timeless. Um, he's hands down the greatest entertainer to ever hit Earth and I feel like he, he, he forever lives. His legacy will live on. His music will never die. And, um, that's just that's just how I feel.

Young Hollywood

Well, congratulations on the success. I mean, the ladies love you. Oh, girl, without a broom, I might just sweep you off your feet and make you want to tell somebody how I do. Or maybe we can float on top of waterbed. You close your eyes as I improv it. Tell me more about what we can hear with you.

Jeremih

Uh, we actually just dropped the first single off my sophomore album entitled "I Like" featuring Ludacris. Drop, drop your body. Uh-huh. Growth. That's all I can say. Uh-huh. Got the pen went to work a little hard on this one. At least I know what it is now, so I'm looking forward to it.

Young Hollywood

If you were to describe your creative process, what is your thing?

Jeremih

You know, my life. I'm I'm the only I can live my life and, uh, really I like to relate that through songs. Whether it's my life or my peers. You know, I probably hear stories, my, my works, out here there's and I just begin to creatively come up with some stuff out, uh, whatever, you know, I feel like, uh, the pen tells me and the beat tells me.

Young Hollywood

If you were to pick someone right now that you can work with coming up soon, who would you really love to collab with?

Jeremih

Actually, I just I'm just leaving the ASCAP Awards and today they did a tribute to Dr. Dre. They played like a hundred songs that he had did over the over the last two decades and I just, you know, I think it would be dope. It's just to be able to collaborate with a lot of great producers, artists out there, but he'd definitely be one I'd want to all top.

Young Hollywood

If you were to describe three things about a lady that you really would love in a woman, what are the three qualities that you look for in a girl?

Jeremih

Uh, a beautiful mind, body and soul, if that can be all in one. Uh, honesty and great Birthday Sex.

Young Hollywood

Oh, he said it. Backstage here at Def Jam, Young Hollywood.
