Grab boom. It's Jen Carter and I'm with All Hip Hop. >> What's the word of your man Slapshot? You're here at the legendary One World Studios and I have a very special guest. Can you please let the people know who it is? >> It's Cer [ __ ] Jen Carter in the building. We outside. You know the [ __ ] vibes. >> Best ad li also the best shape up. I got a haircut. I ain't going to lie. I got a haircut. >> But before you give give your barber a shout cuz you know I might need to step. >> Yo, I ain't going to lie. Shout out shout out Drake. Drake dick cutting up, you know, for me. That's my current barber right now. >> I ain't going to lie. >> That's so funny, man. Um, how you been, man? >> I've been good, you know. >> Life extremely good. Album dropping soon. >> Yes. >> I ain't going to lie. I'm looking forward to it. Uh, no, we doing a group album. >> Okay. Okay. >> You know, 41 finally dropping a debut album. I can't wait. I ain't a lot of fans been waiting on it. >> That's a fact. That's a fact. How What's the What's the difference now that you that we working on album mode? What's What's the difference between that and what we was doing before? >> I feel like now I really been way more locked in in the studio, not just rapping. >> I realized like, you know, being an artist and being like perfecting your craft is a lot more than just rapping on a beat. You know, it comes with like mixing and mastering and, >> you know, clearances of of samples and and and all that. So, >> you know, we just been, >> you know, with a back and forth with the label, but we getting it done. I ain't going to lie. We got hits for them. We got hits for them >> already. Yo, um I just want to say like I'm like super proud of like cuz I'm from Brooklyn myself. Stop star dude. >> So, n but honestly like All right. So, I um I think where I'm a little bit older. So, my first my first ho for one was um Naughty Bob. come to find out. Y'all had songs way before that. Y'all was doing numbers before that, but obviously that's the one that hit the algorithm and but >> we didn't just keep it there. Like I think like you re y'all re-energized drill. Y'all made it like y'all made a new sound when y'all integrated the Jersey um club to it which was like yo this might actually you understand what I'm saying? Like Yeah. So, >> did y'all know y'all could make hits outside of this, outside of like just the natural genre of like Brooklyn drill and stuff like that? >> I feel like one thing about all of us collectively, me, Tata, Kyle Rich, D Bills, you know, J Gelato, the all of 41, even from the beginning, we all knew we could rap. Mhm. >> So regardless of a drill be drill was just >> popping at the time, you know, around the time of 4K Flock went to jail, you know, Rest in Peace Pop Smoke. Those was really the two that had Drill like >> popping about to go mainstream. So we knew we could rap, but >> feel me, we just >> used Drill to rap about what was going on in our environment. You know me, as a way to like speak our side of the story. >> Yeah. >> So, you know, feel me? But regardless of that, we knew that drill wasn't the only way. >> Like we knew from jump it wasn't only gonna be drill. We wasn't only drill artist. We knew we was artist from the beginning. >> Ah, >> you know me? Cuz even even Tata, he wasn't a drill artist. He >> started with autotune and he was like, "Yo, bro, I'm not I'm not drill rapping. Like autotune is my thing." And you know, for me, he just got around us. And you know, that feeling the music, it just be so >> energetic. And he's really the energy. I ain't going to lie. Ah, that's that's actually because a lot of people >> get put on because we're armored. We out this and now I'm like I have a music career now when it wasn't intended. But you knew from off rip like no we we are artist first. >> That's a fact. >> That's a fact. You now have the plaques to back it up and prove it. >> Now we got gold plaques. Platinum plaques. I ain't going to lie. We can't fit BET nominated. >> Everything worked out. >> That's a fact. Which which song went that you was most surprised about >> out of all the songs that went that would that I was I would say like surprised >> early on Deuce. >> Mhm. >> Cuz at the time I wasn't used to going first on songs >> you know for me like KR was really like you know for me he the one that invited me to the studio like for me I was really just [ __ ] with instruments like way before like even stepping in the booth >> like I used to play piano. I used to play trumpet. So I I always loved the music. I always love listening to music, making music, producing music in some some way, some form, but I never thought that it would be rapping. >> So Deuce, when Deuce blew up, I was just like, damn. I just we went in in a booth and made that in like 15, 30 minutes. >> So feel me, it was really like a freestyle. So I really wasn't expecting it to go as crazy as it did. But >> wait, this was a freestyle. >> Yeah. >> Did not know that. >> So feel me, I was the first time I I just didn't write a verse. I just went in this and you know I'm in a store with little guys up there. I had no water. So >> that's just was on my mind. I ain't going to lie. And I just I just it [ __ ] just went like >> the most New York [ __ ] ever. >> That's also that song right there is also when like the the call the [ __ ] went viral. >> Ah okay. Okay. Okay. >> That's when everybody like okay Jim C like all right okay. >> Yeah. I was like damn why I be a [ __ ] about but no that [ __ ] definitely flow. All right then. um what you do have to show for you have way more to show than most artists who did start might have started off this and stuff like that. Okay. So when did you um say like all right we have to take this part of the game like more serious like the hits and stuff like that cuz you're one of the few I could play in a club. You understand what I'm saying? And like nothing you like my old ass could play you at a block party. I could play I could play bent. I mean, yeah. And see, I could play that at, you know what I'm saying? I play anywhere. It don't [ __ ] up nothing. You know, presidential goals when when I'm around when I'm around the ladies. You understand what I'm saying? I ain't got to be looked at like, "Yo, you chompy." >> Yeah. Yeah. But, um, when did when did we when did it start focus? Like when did you like recalibrate the focus and say, "This is what we about to do." >> It was definitely a lot of people don't know this, but it was it was early. Mhm. >> It was around Naughtybop. >> Mhm. >> Like Naughtybop had dropped and we didn't think it would go so crazy. That's like to answer your last question. Like >> that one right there, we didn't know >> was going to go like so cuz we was just like we was just popping in the hood. Like feel me? >> So when that transpired, it was just like damn. Like we realized like [ __ ] this [ __ ] not worth it. Like you know what I'm trying to say? This >> [ __ ] probably, you know, a mistake like me. But >> yeah. can't take back [ __ ] that you did. You know what I'm trying to say? But >> definitely right there was the turning point going trending number one. Like that's not something we wanted to be known for. >> You know what I'm trying to say? So we started switching it up early. Like didn't even really want to >> we wanted to show people that like >> we don't got to do that to like go >> viral. You know what I'm trying to say? And that's where Ben came in. Dudes, all the party records because like >> feel me? We really do just be happy in the studio. >> You know what I'm trying to say? Making music, the chemistry, everything just be there. So, >> you know what I'm trying to say. So, >> you live and you learn though. >> That's a fact. Just that is maturity and accountability. Shout out to you. Shout out to you. That's that's a fact. Yeah. Um All right then. Um so, now that um thing now that you're you've done that, is the um is the dissing over? I mean, cuz the album is coming out and we just talking about your crazy life. You understand what I'm saying? Is the dissing over? >> For me, >> I really be saying no to it. You know, I can't really speak for anyone else, but for me, that [ __ ] really just so >> it's so whack to me. You know what I'm trying to say? Like, >> especially like throwing people names in songs, that's something I was just never comfortable with cuz I know how far I know my potential. >> You know what I'm trying to say? I know how far a song can go. And it's just like >> when you like dissing and mentioning people names and stuff, nobody want to hear that all day. Like, >> come on. People want to hear a bop for real. Like, >> you know what I'm trying to say? Like, if you going to drop a diss make it a bop. So they don't you don't I'm not me personally I know that I don't but I'll be thinking like maybe that's because you know I'm like oh whatever whatever I can't listen to Joe all day you understand what I'm saying but I'm thinking that's maybe me but I'm saying like the demographic that you may have you think like they they even them they don't want to hear the dissing all day >> it's like females period like >> you know what I'm trying to say and and and females really do push a lot of music a lot of females don't want to hear >> [ __ ] they don't even understand half the time you what I'm trying to say like >> they want to hear like >> getting Chanel bags and being pretty and for me >> being uplifted and that's really >> what carry streams nowadays. So like the dissing for me I just and for this period I just feel like it can it can only go so far. >> Like you know what I'm trying to say it can really only go so far depending on the artist and how they make the record. Mhm. >> You know what I'm trying to say? Because >> there's different types of dissing. You know, there's subliminals, name dropping, like dissing in general. Like I rather always go the female way or the party way or the >> make the hits, >> you know, the hits. Like even if it's even if it's a happy song, a sad song. Like everything don't got to be surrounded on some something so negative all the time, you know? >> I got you. >> Are we expecting um any solo projects from 41? >> Definitely solo projects coming. M >> but you know for me we 100% focused on the debut album. You know what I'm trying to say? I'm jumping the gun. >> All for one, one for all. We here. You know what I'm trying to say? Cuz you know >> the bigger we are, >> the bigger each of us will be. >> Yeah. Yeah. The easier it would be to present your souls. >> You know what I'm trying to say? So we might as well give the fans what they asking for. They've been asking for unreleased for the longest. You know, we about finally about to >> feed them all unreleased. We've been holding and creating. >> Let's do though. What's the name of the um what's the title of the album? >> Area 41. >> I ain't gonna lie. >> Area 41. >> Driving real soon. Say too much. >> Uh yeah. How did the group come about? >> The group came about like real early like for me before the music. Like I knew KR before the music. I knew Dills before the music. I knew Jelada before the music you know. Um, Tata and Dbo knew each other. >> And so that brought KR to bring Tatai along and now we hang with each other during the, you know, quarantine pandemic. >> Yeah. >> Everybody out of school. >> Me? I was in like my junior year at the time. >> And I didn't have a graduation. >> So it was just like, damn. Like >> what the hell do I what do like what do I do? Like you know what I'm trying to say? Like >> Yeah. What's next? >> I was trying to make some money. >> Feel me? >> I didn't work. I didn't want to work a nine to five. There's nothing nothing wrong with the nineto-5 fives out there. You know what I'm trying to say? But >> I just always wanted to be my own boss. >> You know feel me? So I just wanted to find a different way to make money. >> Fast money. So I just feel me rapping was the way. >> Rapping was the way. But you know we knew we knew each other before the rapping. >> But the rapping brought us like even closer >> cuz the chemistry was just there and it was just so fun. It was like >> it was it was a real good hobby. >> It was a real good hobby. And then that [ __ ] went. So for me, anybody out there want to take a chance, take that chance. Take that chance. You never know what can make out of it. >> That's the I mean, come away from where you came from, did y'all did you expect like it to click so quickly to connect? >> One thing I will say is >> anybody from Brooklyn, >> my generation know that >> before 41, >> we was popular on Facebook. M >> like just us like no we don't rap we don't do nothing >> we just get a thousand likes on a Facebook picture >> and that was just us like that was I don't know what was like like I said my life is crazy son and just been this way like I that's why I'm so un bothered but you know what I'm trying to say like >> we was just getting attention on Facebook we use that to our advantage like you know for me me and Tata we dropped a song named power that was me and Tata first song boom we came out with window part one window part two on side. He dropping beam 41 freestyle. He going crazy. We all dropping solo projects and D bells. He had some early [ __ ] too. Loving the crew >> and that [ __ ] fake had the towns on until we all had our own [ __ ] going on in the towns. And so >> once we transferred to like Instagram >> and took our [ __ ] there. We all left Facebook. I ain't going to lie, like we left Facebook in a in a in a mud. Like we transferred to Instagram, we were seen as like real rappers. >> It was a different lifestyle on Instagram. I ain't gonna lie. >> Feel me? So, >> and it clicked. It just >> everything just clicked. Like, I think the >> the the aesthetic of us being a group >> drew people in more, >> you know, for me. And >> I ain't going to lie, I'm really glad to say that it's all for one one for all. >> I got you. >> Really though, like to this day. >> For a fact. Um, I think we are we are embarking on like 10 years since the beginning. Well, since I discovered Brooklyn Drill and I think that's probably like around the birthplace of it. You understand what I'm saying? Um, do you think it's a dying genre or do you think it's still it still got some life? I I think >> I don't think drill is a dying genre. >> That's one thing I will say because >> people grow out of drill. >> You know what I'm trying to say? Like >> drill rappers get older >> and they be like this [ __ ] whack. >> You know what I'm trying to say? >> But unfortunately in a lot of environments that >> we're still in >> there's a lot of black-on-black crime. Mhm. >> And drill music is the way for these people to express that. >> Mhm. >> So it may not be as big as it was, >> but it's definitely not over. >> I would say that because there's new people creating different types of drill music every day. >> So that's what I'm specific I'm talking about. >> Drill music isn't always dissing. I want to make that clear. You know, we have I think but Cash had expanded it to the sexy drill. >> Sexy drill. Exactly. Another example of how drill could never die. >> Ah, but I'm more specifically talking about the sound because that's hip-hop in general. You understand what I'm saying? People are always going to be taking shots at other people, whether it's subliminal or it's the obvious. I'm saying your name. You know what I'm saying? So that's forever being known. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. That's just being known. You don't even know how to rap. I ain't going to lie. Like you son I mean no because you we have to remember when I first discovered it didn't nobody know it was money in this. It was them it was kids just we throwing shot. You understand what I'm saying? This is us letting y'all know we know exactly what's going on. You understand what I'm saying? Way people getting some [ __ ] >> boom. Yo. So when I was figure, mind you when I was outside I loved culture in New York. You know this was like get era mer era. You understand what I'm saying? To me, the music wasn't that good. You understand what I'm saying? Like, it wasn't that good. We was autotuning it up. You understand what I'm saying? It the music wasn't really that good to me. But the culture was super fire. You know, I think that's why a lot of people are like bringing about some of the old stuff. You know, I even wore my ACGs today and stuff, you understand what I'm saying? So, but >> now when y'all came out, when um when Drill actually did come out and I'm saying like, "Oh, yo, they actually they starting to get on the radio with this." You understand what I'm saying? I think the first song I heard from was P Chev Chef G. Um I forgot the name of this [ __ ] His first song actually. Yeah. His first song ended up on the radio and I'm like damn. So it's not YouTube no more. And every kid knew all the laws behind every song who that person was talking about. You understand what I'm saying? But >> it it's it might be a lore >> because like you know for me >> people who >> like people who have been around Chef G that from where he come from >> like [ __ ] don't know what's going on in your city type. >> No suburbans. My fault. I just want >> I was thinking that. >> Yeah. No suburbans. Just hit me. Yes. Yes. Yes. >> Like you know feel me? [ __ ] always going to know what's going on like >> in your town like in your city. Like feel me? Like that's cool and all, but like >> when you making drill music, if you really want to be large, you got to think beyond your city. >> You got to think beyond your city. You want everybody to understand the record. >> That's what pop got. That's what pop got when pop welcome to the party. Like he's dissing a lot in them verses, but welcome to the who don't want to be welcome to that party. Sound like it was You understand what I'm saying? Yeah. Then it was like, oh [ __ ] this [ __ ] you can make hits from this [ __ ] You understand? That's um you guys, but like I said earlier, you guys implemented the um the Jersey Club sound to it, which um I think extended the life a lot more. I think everybody started doing it. >> A lot of people Everybody started Yeah. started doing the Jersey that's been around for like forever. Shout out to my daughter. She lives in Jersey. >> The Jersey Yo, shout out DJ Taj. I know about I know about them Jersey where it came from. pop that went. Oh my, they still play that in club to this day. Oh my god, that Jersey club should go crazy. But whose who whose idea was that? Like, yo, this might actually like Tumble kind of match a little bit, but this going to go in the club. Who who understood that? >> I I really I ain't going to lie, me and K was really locked in the studio like early like >> you know what I'm trying to say? Like just >> I don't know. We was just living like and one thing about me and KO like when we hear a beat that that we know was a hit. >> We just give each other that look >> like that's that's what happened with Deuce. That's what happened with Ben. >> Like with Deuce, >> feel me? Like we gave each other that look, I went in the studio and it was just that the bouncy like >> once we hit a beat and we don't stop dancing for like 5 minutes before actually rapping. That's how we know >> that it's made for those for those type of parties. You know what I'm trying to say? bent. >> We probably danced around for 20 minutes with MC Ver, you know, shout out to MC Vert with the slow down. It was a like it was a new type of Jersey drill. >> Like the slow down like the implements like >> Yeah. Brooklyn drill it, you understand what I'm saying? >> So yeah. So doing those beats, >> it really helped us a lot. We didn't know it while we were doing it. We were just having fun. We just knew it was a new sound, something that probably a lot of people haven't done. >> So we just decided to, you know, what can we rap on this? >> Feel me? And that's how bank came about. I ain't going to lie >> dudes came about. All those feel me all those bouncy presidential. I ain't going lie. Presidential was >> that was another one. That was another one we a know it was going to go. >> Nah. That way that video looked y'all look like y the roll out to it looked like y'all knew. >> N was a big ass roll out the presidential. I get you. You might not have known deuce but presidential. You lying. >> I just say for me like I lie. Shout out black boy Max. For me he just pulled up that beat one day. >> I went in first again. being the brave old me >> for me with it first for me and then for me I just I don't know I did it in like probably 30 seconds we just went back to back to back and then for me clips went crazy everywhere >> this the suits everywhere I was nah >> yeah all right how has your life changed since this actually took off because you saying you was already mix you was already living a crazy life what is the what is the biggest change now >> the biggest change is obviously, you know, the money. >> Obviously the money. >> Obviously the money. But >> I feel like with me personally, >> my journey has helped me overcome like >> so much [ __ ] I was dealing with in my past. >> Like it's brought me closure. >> It It's made me feel like like all this [ __ ] wasn't for no reason. >> You know what I'm trying to say? Ah, losing my pops >> in quarantine. >> Yeah. >> You know, for me, that [ __ ] that [ __ ] broke me. >> This was before I started rapping. And I started rapping the same year, >> feel me? And that [ __ ] just took off. So for me, I just I live day by day, you know, thanking God for everything, >> realizing I'm blessed. It could always be worse. And there's a lot of people that would want to be in my position. >> So for me, that's what gets me through every single day. >> Yeah. But what comes with that is obviously like the hate. You understand what I'm saying? You see it all the time. >> It's like for me like at this point I'm I've like I know I'm super different. >> Like I'm like I'm like I ain't lie. hard to find. Like >> I'm super different. Like the hate is going to come with it. Like people not going to understand you. >> That's okay. >> That's just more people finding out about you. Like more people finding out, okay, >> what she saying to her music here? What she saying to her music there? Like >> people can hate all they want, bro. But once you understand, you understand my music even more. >> Feel me? That's why my my fans like my Jen Carter fans really resonate with me >> cuz they sit up there, they watch my streams. >> They sit up there. They they understand the law that's in my songs. Yeah. >> That's why that's why they stream my [ __ ] >> That's it's a stories behind. >> You know what I'm trying to say? Shout out Shout out to Jen Car. I ain't going to lie. >> What do you have a name for your fan base? >> Not yet. >> All right. >> They was trying to go with Turtle Tinkers, but I ain't jacking. Like they trying to say my Wi-Fi was bad on stream. I ain't jacking like me. But I I went with it for right now though. Like my my Twitch profile picture is like a turtle with my head photoshopped on. Like me. I'm [ __ ] it. Um, how serious are you going to um take the streaming? >> I tried. I ain't going to lie. >> Feel me? And it's it's hard to say, but like >> when you still on the grind >> Mhm. >> cuz I'm real humble. I know I ain't I'm still not in my prime. >> Like feel me? It's it's way more [ __ ] to come. >> So when you still on the grind, >> the hunger is just elsewhere. >> Like I can't really devote my time to really sitting back streaming for like, you know, two to four hours. Sometimes I come home tired. I've been out all day. Sometimes I come home from a show. >> I'm tired. Feel me? It's It be a lot going on right now. Feel me? So >> I know it's there though. >> You know what I'm trying to say? Like I still probably get on the stream for like even an hour if I got time a free day. Like feel me? I still probably get on the stream. But >> to do it every day and be consistent, like >> that's not me right now. >> You know what I'm trying to say? But >> I definitely do love streaming. >> Feel me? Because I be myself on stream. Like feel me? like I chilling like for me >> be clipping me. >> Is it a is that is that now a new part of being a artist? Do you do you think it's you have to stream in order to be a successful artist? >> No, I I that's the thing. I don't think streaming is for everybody. >> Like I could even say like for me yeah I feel like I have the personality to stream but >> like I don't have the commitment right now to stream. Some people have the commitment and I talent to stream. They don't have the personality to stream. You know what I'm saying? Like there's no law like why do people want to watch you? >> You know what I'm trying to say? But >> that's why I feel like you don't have to stream. >> You know what I'm trying to say? It could be just something that you want to do and if it goes it goes. >> Like but I don't feel like every artist has to stream. Especially cuz >> it's really two very separate categories. >> It's very two different lifestyles >> cuz they say everything is content content content. Now >> content. I don't even be knowing what's real no more on streams. Like I'll be seeing clips and I'll be like >> like I'll be having a like yo like zedi like yo what's this like yo zi will like >> yo like >> me but >> a lot of a lot of [ __ ] be for content so but >> I don't know I'm just such a real person like >> I don't I can't I don't know bro I rather just rap I can't see myself doing [ __ ] for content >> for a fact so the n I get it but this the [ __ ] that be [ __ ] me up with streaming is there no editing like that's the yo I'm from yo that [ __ ] that be [ __ ] I'm like, "Yo, y'all cool with the fact that anything can happen at any given moment." And that's forever. >> I got to rap like that [ __ ] is done forever. You never know. You never know. Life life could life. You understand what I'm saying? Like life or life. You understand what I'm saying? >> My smoke alarm beeping and [ __ ] >> I'm saying I need to change the batteries little [ __ ] bro. Like feel me? But streaming is real life. That's real authentic. like they seeing you real live. Like for me, that's not just a live. >> If I can't if I can't stop, pause, edit this part out. >> I'm okay.

Jenn Carter says the success didn’t happen overnight. 41, Carter, Kyle Richh, and TaTa, have been putting in work for years. During a recent sit-down interview with AllHipHop, the Brooklyn rapper revealed that the group’s long-awaited debut album “Area 41” is finally on the way and promises fans a collection of hits that expand far beyond drill. “We knew from the beginning we weren’t just drill artists,” Carter said. “Drill was just what was popping at the time, but we always knew we could rap.” The group broke out with viral songs like “Deuce,” “Bent,” and “Presidential,” blending Brooklyn drill with Jersey club rhythms and party energy. According to Carter, the chemistry between members is what made the records connect. “When we hear a beat that’s a hit, we just look at each other,” she said. “If we dancing for five minutes before we even start rapping, we know it’s one of those.” Subscribe to AllHipHop on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/allhiphoptv?sub_confirmation=1 Timestamps 0:14 Jenn Carter Introduces Herself & The 41 Movement 0:37 Shoutout To Jenn Carter’s Barber 0:45 Jenn Carter Talks Life & The Upcoming 41 Album 1:04 What Changed Now That 41 Is In Album Mode 1:45 How “Notti Bop” Introduced 41 To The World 2:18 Did 41 Know They Could Go Beyond Drill Music? 3:15 Why 41 Always Saw Themselves As Artists First 3:51 Gold Plaques, Platinum Records & BET Nominations 4:03 Jenn Carter Reveals Which Song Surprised Her Most 4:48 The Truth About “Deuce” Being A Freestyle 5:11 The Viral Moment That Put Jenn Carter On The Map 5:32 When 41 Realized They Needed To Focus On Hits 6:49 Why 41 Switched Their Sound After “Notti Bop” 7:33 Jenn Carter On Why Dissing In Songs Is “Whack” 8:27 Why Female Fans Drive Music Streams Today 9:24 Solo Projects From 41?
