When I saw the whole idea of 16 Baris, I knew that something was going to happen.
There have been rumours that those who got on the show have been signed to major labels.
We knew that something crazy was going to happen because what
Joe was trying to do- not trying to do, what he did was kinda neutralising everybody.
He was putting everybody on the same platform, it's either you're dope or not.
Different groups, different rappers from this part of the world,
And he made sure that everybody was unprepared.
So he just gave 'em beats and "Oh you can rap? You rap ah."
It's like shine the light on everybody the same way and everybody feels like, "Oh, we're all the same."
That is such a crazy thing.
I uploaded the 16 Baris.
It got a little bit of traction. Joe replied, Sona replied and liked it. I lost my mind. I was-
Crying.
I was crying. I was crying. Whatever, crybaby, whatever.
It really means a lot to me.
I saw it and I couldn't take it, I showed it to him in the middle of the night.
I was so jealous sia.
Then I was saying, "Bro, what you doing? Get on the show as well."
But I asked him to be in my house because if we were to do this, we have to do this right.
Because we saw a traction. We saw a trend.
Because before this 16 Baris thing blew up, the video I had a couple of home videos that blew up too on Twitter.
They all had the same background.
So we saw a trend and then I wanted to introduce him to my following.
So that they know that we're friends right?
So I brought him into the picture and I asked him to rap at my house and then I was featured or cameo-ed inside the 16 Baris video.
I think about a month later, Joe- We got an email from Joe's manager, Sofi, Yaniz's manager actually.
Then we- "Oh congratulations blah blah blah." and we're like...
loss our minds, told everyone - I told my future grandson I told everyone I told everybody.
We made sure everybody knew it.
set in stone, everything
My mum doesn't know anything about rap.
But I made sure she knew who Joe Flizzow is and what this is and what 16 Baris is.
We had to go on that Friday right, so we had to go and I had to host a show at Club 36 that Friday night
so they had to make special arrangements. I had to catch my flight right after
This is a crazy story bro.
This is actually a crazy story,
So 16 Baris when we went there, the time was so, it was just right.
We were actually supposed to be on the second season, apparently.
Yeah, that's what we understood.
Not too sure but that's what we understood at that time.
And then some rappers pulled out and we got on the show.
But Joe only told us 2 or 3 days before.
"Yo, can the boys come at this time, at this day?"
And it was Friday, like at the end of the week and we were like "How do we do this?"
Because when you're given bars when you're given a beat. Your rhyme schemes are different.
Usually it's a 80-90 Bpm.
Like very boombap style.
I wrote to 80-90 BPM thinking I was getting that beat.
But then I got 120 BPM, which was a half-time
and it was so weird and I didn't know what to do.
He had to rewrite.
I had to rewrite everything in 2 days
and memorise it and I was in the shower rapping it,
at the dinner table I was memorising it,
I didn't talk to anybody I was just rapping all the way.
We were both going through our experiences of trying to get these bars in our mind,
trying to lock it down so we don't mess up right.
So we went there, we finally got to the set and then after that, we did soundcheck.
And I went second
and I realized that the beat was opposite. Even though it's the same BPM.
What he practised was this one first, this one second
but we go on set and they tell us it's the opposite.
It's opposite so I was like,
"You know what, it's okay. I'll do it." I was like "Bro, I can do it right?"
I was like "Just do it man."
Singapore represent bro
We can bro. Alright bro.
Rap, rap, rap, rap and suddenly the beat just extended, like it went on.
It didn't stop.
It didn't stop!
So what we thought was 16 bars was only 8 on that beat because it was 120 BPM.
So it's a lot of confusion. 120 BPM can be mistaken for 60. It's the half-time thing.
And put that in the context of we're going to roll in the next 30 minutes and
he's going second and I got a flight to catch, gotta come back to Singapore and go straight to club 36 blah blah blah.
And then it extended, I told DJ CZA.
I told him, "Sorry sir, is it okay if we just cut the beat because actually, I thought it was just 16 bars."
Then he said, "Oh that's not 16 bars." And I'm like, "Uh...
But when I practised it was just this time, please."
He tried.
I tried to tell him and he's like "No it's not." and Joe came in and was like,
"What's the problem?"
I'm like, "Joe, I only prepared this much.
So...how?"
And he's like, "Nevermind, you got backup bars?"
I'm like, "Ah...Yes? I guess." And I was like-
Go through the phone.
Yes I do. Ya.
"Okay, keep rapping."
Then I rapped ah, rap rap rap
I had to squeeze my original
So imagine putting a 80 BPM flow into a 120BPM flow.
It's really really really fast and a lot of syllables.
And it's in Malay and English.
And Malay and English and it was so difficult for me to remember. So I just did it.
And he was like, "Okay, let's go. That's 120 BPM, that's 16 Bars."
And he managed to do it, everybody was clapping. I went after him
sealed that I had to take my flight and come back to Singapore
and then he stayed there for a day more. That was done, it was wrapped up, it was all good. After a while, we moved on with our lives.
I met Joe that night itself.
They hung out, I was so jealous. I was like, "Damn, you get to hang out with Joe Flizzow and I have to fly back."
It was actually because of Shigga Shay. Shoutout to Shigga Shay, he was actually the one that drove us there.
They wanted to give us a flight but we drove back.
We had a nice 3 hour conversation, specifically talking about how bad Raja is as a rapper.
You know? And how we'll probably be better than him, forever. It's okay dude, you can try next time.
That's not right.
But yeah, shoutout Shigga Shay. He was the one that brought us there
and then we hung out with Joe after the 16 Baris night.
Joe actually asked me something. Joe was like, "Are you happy with your bars?"
and then I said it, "No, I'm sorry, I'm not."
I know I'm supposed to be proud of my work but I'm not.
And he's like, "Bro, you did it, all is done. Don't worry about it. Think about the next thing."
And we did, once we were back in Singapore we were trying to think of the next thing.
He recorded his debut single when he got back. I recorded mine. All's going good. We even forgot that 16 Baris was coming out soon.
Suddenly it was like "Bro, 4 days to 16 Baris." And we were like,
(Outburst of inability to fathom)
"Ah... Episode 13.
So that was us right, so it dropped.
I was in Bali, he was in Singapore and we were FaceTiming each other like
"Bro, we're going to watch this at the same time."
Press play, I was watching on my TV, he got his laptop, watching and Joe Flizzow.
It was such an experience like God, this is so cool.
This is exactly what we wanted, we wanted to do stuff like this.
I'm so glad it went the way we wanted it to go.
We didn't have much expectations
but we just wanted to nail it down, you know?
It's like somebody gives you an opportunity
or like somebody gives you food when you're hungry.
That kind of gratitude.
So we had that and we were so happy that the whole thing happened.
That was the full 16 Baris experience.
It was pretty crazy.
Full. That was literally what happened.
Honestly,
if everything went smoothly it would be totally boring.
And there's no way it could go smoothly,
it's another country, it's involving all these OGs
and so much planning had to be done.
It was last minute.
Everything that could've gone wrong, went wrong.
But it somehow bloomed into fruition.
God is good bro
God is good.
Mad Blessings.
