One of the guys from Massive Attack in the U.K.

He talked about Bristol and why Bristol made all that music because they only had like four television stations and nothing else to do.

So what are you going to do except for make music and Detroit is is like that for the Midwest.

There's a lot of that.

Making your own fun for yourself and you really engage a lot and and your your skills, your musicianship and Detroit at a point where it has its revered just by name.

You know, you mentioned Detroit and, you know, the idea is eyes brighten up, especially people from France and England and Germany.

You know, it's just it's just been a shame that you didn't get the same reverence from places within the United States.

We are so much better in Detroit about talking about Motown, talking about Aretha and talking about urban and even talking about jazz and techno.

The world's most popular music right now somehow slides under the radar for a lot of Detroiters, like I know has desire.

Carl tries, but I feel like it has of a lot of Detroiters in their stories.

Nah, I don't know how to describe this, brother.

Put it in your mix.

So some tequila that you know and then, you got to do.

You got season a little Detrot there.

I know it's tough.

It was tough, but you don't have to pick up just a little bit.

A little bit, a little bit, a little bit of dirt there.

Well, let me tell you something.

Imma tell you somthing.

and then you mix it up and you pour your nice glass of Crown Royal they follow me for a little bit over a year.

And I decided early on, I only want it to be a subject I didn't want to be anyone that had any type of pull in the in the project because I wanted it to be as realistic as possible.

Detroit is where techno was created.

If you didn't know now you know.

Are you proud to be from Detroit?

Hell yeah, I'm probably from Detroit.

Carl has always been an innovator of music.

You know, Detroit is techno.

We start with the techno.

Carl had a different twist on it.

He always put his foot into something different, make everyone recognize that this is Carl Craig and the idea of like, being embedded in the culture of Detroit music isn't like a question you ask.

When did you hear Motown?

Because you grew up with it.

So with Carl, I grew up with it.

And then I realized, Oh, it was Carl.

This time I realize I grew up with his music and I grew older with his music, and this music grew older, but still, like you said, 20 somethings.

Dancing to that music, you know, I can read really made that message of a mother's love for her son.

shine so much So give my mom a hand Please I was watching Air, that Michael Jordan movie.

They said, if you want to get to Michael, you got to go through his mama.

My mom would have done the same exact thing.

She would have got in there and said, you know what look you guys are going to make a lot of money off of this my boy, he's got a lot of talent and you got to pay correctly.

And for her to say, hey, I got this little bit of cash, you know, go, Matt, that was that was an investment in me that I don't even know if she knew was going to last.

You know, I, I should be crying right now because it feels like an emotional moment.

It feels like I should be up here crying.

But since since they were saying that I make the Synthesizers cry then lets Selections I was really into the music and my parents didn't have any understanding of what the possibility was with it.

You know, get a regular job, you know, forget about forget about the music thing.

And it just wasn't happening because the post office is totally fine job.

Just like in the Hollywood Shuffle, she says, Go and get yourself a job at the post office.

No matter what the situation was, I don't think I could have been a guy at the post office getting chased by dogs.

Part of being your own man is that you have to accept the highs and the lows.

I have to give it my all or, you know, give me liberty or give me death.

You know?
