Golf is I want to say it's an escape, but it's not an escape. There's times where it is. For me, it's a spiritual experience. It is one of surrender, of acceptance. You have it some days, you've completely lost it other days, and it's a constant reminder to bring the mind back. You can't get the shots back you've lost, you can't go forward.

You have to be present.

You have to be present.

And I think that any any activity that's physical that's outside in nature brings a reprieve, but particularly one that has to bring you back to the moment of this shot is the only one that I have to focus on right now. I don't think about music, I don't think about a rolloute, I don't think about a show. I just think about golf and I you know, it's it's therapy.

There's other days where the golf gods are like nope, you and you have to accept wherever it is.

Yeah. I remember I asked you in May twenty twenty one when I first met you, and I asked you, did you get more nervous performing in a sold out concert or playing golf in front of people? And you said playing golf in front of people hands down. Now that you've gotten a few more rounds and you're under your belt, you play in the at and T pro am a bunch of celebrity events.

Does that still ring true? And if not? Why?

Absolutely is the same.

Absolutely is the same.

In fact, I get more nervous playing by myself than I do playing in front of an arena full of people, because like I know how to play in front of an arena full of people.

Is today going to be the day where I break it? You know?

Is today going to be the day where I break it? You know?

And then you're just like, no, let me get present. And the days where I've where I've scored well, the handful of times where I've shot in the high seventies, it's been days where my mental focus and acceptance is on a different level. It's it's of course I'm hitting the ball well for me, but it's the mind that I'm able to bring back and just be present.

Michelle, I'm curious when you've had your best round, what was your mindset, like, like, did you do you sort of have a similar have a similar stance on that.

Yeah, I totally get what you're talking about about not being nervous when you perform on stage because you know you're good at it. And when I was playing well, golf was easy. You just go out there and it's automatic. When golf is hard, it is absolutely the opposite from that. You're nervous every single shot.

It's like, no, that's not the case.

You know, that's not that's what I can like get really confused about.

You know, that's not that's what I can like get really confused about.

Yeah, well you can head to U Shao or for more information. I'm sure there's some people here that can elpha. Let's kind of skip over to some Bogey Boys stuff. Then I got to meet you right when it was launching, and it was so exciting and it was stuff that we have never seen in golf fashion before. Can you walk us all through what that process was like and what that moment was that you were like, I got to do my own thing here because golf needs this.

You know, I walked into a sporting good store.

You know, I walked into a sporting good store.

I will not tell you the name because who knows, maybe they'll carry bogie boys one day. But I walked into a sporting good store and I wanted to buy an outfit. It was like right after that five iron that I hid in Hawaii, and I was like, Okay, now I gotta get some golf clothes.

I gotta get some clubs. I'm gonna buy a putter.

I gotta get some clubs. I'm gonna buy a putter.

And I walked into the apparel section and was just like, Yo, this is trash. This is so trash. I couldn't I want to spend money. I can't even spend money even though I want to. And I've always been into fashion. I've always loved design. I've done all of our merch forever and worked with different people on our merch and have my my fingerprints on all creative aspects in terms of visual, aesthetic and what I put out under the Maclamore umbrella forever. So it was like, oh, this isn't appealing to me. We can do better than that. And I think even watching golf on TV, it's become this kind of unofficial uniform versus like back in the day when you had Chichi Rodriguez and Arnold Palmer and Lee Trevino and everyone looked different. You know, everyone had their own style and aesthetic that wasn't just like the next dude. And nowadays it's like we're walking billboards of insurance companies and Morgan Stanley and you know whoever else, and.

It's not exciting to me.

It's not exciting to me.

And I think that that was kind of what opened up like, oh, this could be an avenue to pursue in terms of design, And shortly after we came up with the idea of Bogie Boys and started the design.

I feel like that the last couple of years of reception of your brand in the game has been incredible. I feel like everyone's really welcomed you. We played it in a lot of AT and T programs and really been in the golf circuit. Talk about some of the challenges that you've had, so I'm sure starting own brand and comes with a lot of challenge is the wrong way.

Yeah.

Yeah.

There was this thing called COVID that sucked, and like the supply chain issues were really challenging because we had also no idea what it was going to do. And we dropped the first day and had like a massive first day and I was like, Okay, we weren't wrong, Like there is there are people out here that want to be a little bit left field and stick out and be individuals. So then it was like, okay, now we need to catch up with all the supply issues and it was just hard. I think that that was a component of it. And just like anything, if I'm putting all of my creativity into music videos and into an album rollout and into the stage show, and I'm not putting that same energy into Bogie Boys, that's going to be felt. And I think that, you know, it's never been a brand that I was just like, all right, like now we'll get it off the ground and then we'll hire like a couple and they'll wear it. And that's storytelling. That's not that's just like your clothes and a couple of good looking people. That's not the same thing as telling a story. People resonate when you tell a story, whether it's with music or whether it's with fashion or any sort of brand. You know, you look at like Ralph Lauren. Ralph Lauren has a story. They have an esthetic that's a very curated, cultivated esthetic that people have bought into. It's this like Americana legacy heritage brand that you know you're gonna get quality. When you go into Ralph Lauren you have an idea what the price point is, and then you get it at the outlet mall after that. But you know, you look at all these brands. Levi has a story, like Anthropology has a story, American Girl has a story. There's storytelling involved in all of this, and and that's an important piece of it, you know, because because you're selling more than just the polo, you're buying into the lifestyle of what we're about at Bogie Boys, and that takes time and energy to develop and to create that relationship with the consumer.

What I think is really cool though, too, is that you have that awareness because you could have just been invested for a little bit and been like, I'm gonna put Maclamore on something and it's gonna be great and people are gonna buy it and then just pack it in, but you didn't, like you're so invested. I think that's also really cool that you have the awareness to say, hey, I'm gonna have to step away from this for a little bit to focus on this, and you know, there are sort of chapters in your life and being able to be like, I'm going to be fully invested in bogie boys, and so that I think that really comes across as opposed to just being like another person that's like, I have a brand, it's cool, just put my name on.

It, right.

It, right.

I appreciate that, and you see like it doesn't work. You look at celebrities that tap in for a minute and they do like massive collections or you know, offshoot brands under a bigger umbrella, and eventually they have to stop because there's sitting on so much clothing, which is just wasteful, and they're like, this stuff's not moving, and we don't really want to mark it down like seventy five percent to get it out the door because it looks bad for the artists or the ambassador. People are smarter than we give them credit for.

Right.

Right.

We think that just because you put insert artists onto any other collaboration, that it's going to sell.

And it's just not the case. Right.

And it's just not the case. Right.

I think though too. Not only are you passionate about your brand, but you're passionate about the game of golf. Yes, And I want to get your opinion. Michelle and I talk about this all the time. What do you think needs to happen? Because I do think We've made a ton of progress, especially in the last couple of years, with people like yourself taking an actual interest in the sport and wanting to sort of spread the gospel, if you will. What do you think needs to happen to continue to evolve the perception of this game that we all love so much.

We need we need more diversity, and I think that one of the immediate conflicts with that is it accessibility, right, accessibility for all who want to play the game, and it's an expensive sport. You have to buy clubs, you have to you buy golf balls, and you lose the golf balls and you need more of them. I think that creating systems where youth are getting involved early on, where they are introduced to the game and then they don't have to pay, you know, seven hundred dollars to get going, Like that's a lot of money, and that's on the cheaper side, you know. So I think that you know, first T is doing great work. I know that there's a lot of people in the golf space that are giving back to the community.

But it's more than that.

But it's more than that.

It's it's really ensuring that the next generation has an outlet early on to play the game if they want to participate, and then showing them that it's amazing. And I think that there's a lot of people out there that really embody what that looks like in terms of being spokespeople for how truly remarkable this game is.

Yeah, And I.

Yeah, And I.

Think initiatives like this having a golf setup in the middle of them all. Who here is attending their first golf tournament tomorrow?

Think initiatives like this having a golf setup in the middle of them all. Who here is attending their first golf tournament tomorrow?

Anybody? Yeah? There, we go, Well, you welcome.

Anybody? Yeah? There, we go, Well, you welcome.

Who here has never attended a golf tournament and is not planning to attend? Okay, yeah, you're getting into eventually, exactly eventually, now that you're here, you might go to another golf tournament. So I think it's stuff like this the issue is doing to help grow the game. And we ask every guest this, and I'm interested to hear you think about this. What was your perception of the game before you started playing? And how has that changed?

Old white dudes at country clubs.

We literally got that answer everything pretty much.

Everybody's yeah, And.

Everybody's yeah, And.

I think that there's a part of it.

I think that there's a part of it.

It's true and it's okay, but we'd like more than that. Maybe, yeah, play like.

It's true and it's okay, but we'd like more than that. Maybe, yeah, play like.

And you know, yeah, how do I answer this? I would say that it's that and it's the elite, and it's yeah, it's people with from a certain social status that are passed down the game from previous generations, and it's like tenured in and that's and that's not that's not wrong. But we do need more than that, and I think that we have to be really intentional about creating space where that happens. I think the places like Five Iron and and Top Golf have been really good for the game in terms of, you know, and outside of all the ramifications of COVID. COVID was a great thing for the game of golf in terms of introducing people to it because it was kind of the only sport, non contact sport that you could play for a long time for sure. And then you have like these places where you can go kick it, you can you can you know, have some drinks, you can eat a burger, you can hang out with the homies, hit a couple of golf balls, you don't have to commit to like, okay, now I got to go play a five hour round at a local muni and have no idea what I'm doing. And those are really important in terms of introducing the game to those that might not have found it other ways.

Definitely. Well, let's get into the Adidas Bogie Boys collab. We'd love to hear how that came about. I know Adidas has had a very special place in your heart for a long time.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah, I grew up with Adidas with the track suits. Looking at my dad's closet, he had Adidas. And we were at the Masters and we were just watching on the sidelines and a kick came out to us and was like, Yo, I really love what you guys are doing. You should meet my dad. He's the president of Adidas Golf, and kind of the rest is history. We started to talk to him about it, and I'm like, okay, we're what's your number?

Phones that the Masters, though, So do you just memorize.

Com Chill Chill, chill, No, it's hot mail, listen and I and like we we had that connection. We followed up and had a couple of meetings and then started to design and those the team and Adidas has been incredible to work with, like passionate golfers, just good people. They become family, like those guys are are the homies. And I think creating anything with the brand again, there's storytelling involved. We didn't just want to slap our logo next to theirs and call it a collab, Like that's not exciting to me. And yeah, I think also like I'm not in this to make money. I think making money, like I want to break even and be able to pay the people that we're working with, of course, but like I'm not looking at this as you know, ooh, you know in five years, like I could sell this company for Like, that's not what drives me. What drives me is connecting with people. What drives me is creating something dope that I would want to wear, and then seeing people on the golf course living out their life and having their golf stories in our clothing. Like when when I go walk around and I see this dude taking a picture in his bogie Boy's hat, like that's super fired to me. Or you in the front of your Bogie Boys hat like and you got yeah, man in the sweater vest let's go bring it up. Man, No, you can't come up here. But I love your outfit choice and like that's super tight to me. I just I that's that's what's exciting to me, not like a great sales day, like that's cool, but that's what it's about.

So what gives you more pride? When you see people play your music? When you random walk around you hear your music on the radio playing in the mall like this, or when you see someone where your.

Collection probably where the collection?

Collection probably where the collection?

Oh wow, just because I'm used to the music, you know, I'm used to the music, and Bogie Boys is relatively new, so I think that that's that's a little bit more exciting, you know. But they're both dope and they're both and they're both like, you know, they feel good. The Bogie Boys never feels awkward. The music sometimes does. I'm like, oh, really you want to play this right now?

Huh?

Okay, okay, if your song comes on, do you sing along with it? Because one time I was at a party and j Loo was there, and Jenny from the block came on and she didn't move her.

Okay, okay, if your song comes on, do you sing along with it? Because one time I was at a party and j Loo was there, and Jenny from the block came on and she didn't move her.

Mouth, Like he didn't move her mouth.

Oh, like, but so do you do? Would you go at all?

Oh, like, but so do you do? Would you go at all?

I mean close friends with j Lo and like we're so similar. No, I'm not. It depends like if I'm with my kids, like I'll probably turn up with them and you know, we'll pull up to it, you know, next to a car that's playing the music, and like that's cool, you know, roll down the window and you know, it's about at the end of the day, it's about connecting with people. And I think the music is obviously like a streamline to the heart strings and it's what connects us and we and we feel when we listen to the music, there's an emotional frequency. There's a response to that that it is a little bit different than than that dude in the Bogie Boys hat.

All right, Well, just a couple more here. We want to talk about music for for a second six year Hiatus new album Ben.

All right, Well, just a couple more here. We want to talk about music for for a second six year Hiatus new album Ben.

It was not it was five keep going, five year Hiat. People want to try to round up. No, it was not. It was like four andsome change, keep going, keep going with the pandemic in there okay, so long. When people say six keep going.

Sorry five years. You said you fell in love with music again making this last album. What was it that made you fall in love with the process again.

Sorry five years. You said you fell in love with music again making this last album. What was it that made you fall in love with the process again.

I always fall back in love with it And I'm not one of those artists that's like in the studio every single day. I am for periods of time, but then I need a break. I need to go live life. And I think if I was focused on just being the best rapper, then I would miss out on being the best dad, and I would miss out on being a mediocre at best golfer. I would miss out on bogie boys like. I want to be well rounded, and I think that that's and have a spiritual practice and be someone that's in recovery, Like these are all things that make me a holistically good person. And I think that it's super easy when you are just focused on, you know, let me be the best of this one thing.

And I was like that for a long time.

And I was like that for a long time.

And I think I needed to be like that to get the skill set that I have now. But I want to be able to show up in all facets of my life, and I think that that's that that was also found during the process of creating Ben is like, Yo, it's not just about the hours that you clock. It's about the experiences that you're having outside of the studio that lead to the music that you write. Because if I'm just in the studio, I'm like tunnel.

Vision, right, You're not having life experiences.

No, Like, what am I going to write about? Right?

No, Like, what am I going to write about? Right?

I have to go live. I have to make mistakes. I have to have triumphs. I have to take that in the studio and have content that pushes me and pushes the people that listen.

That's funny. Your friend schoolboy Q, who's working on a new album, I chatted with him a couple of days ago. He said the exact same thing you just did about how you have to live life in order to have things to write about.

Yeah, And like Q's a great example of Q, who's a dad. You know he's there like taking joy to soccer games and stuff. Like he's a dad and he's not just just one version of what you get. But he's a well rounded person and also a mediocre golfer.

So you talk about golf and music in a holistic way a lot, in a spiritual way a lot do you when you're on the golf course, do you get inspired musically and then you kind of just do you write things down while you're playing golf or is golf just like an escape from everything from music.

I don't think about music at all on the golf course. I really don't. I don't think I've ever written down a bar in the golf course. I think that I am focused on the game in front of me. That most of the time feels impossible.

I'll say this, and this is probably I'm curious to hear your guys' thoughts on this. I struggle with an open club face, as most amateur golfers do, and when I set up, I closed the club face a little bit more than normal, and I've been having an easier time hitting the ball square versus open. That's my tip. Is it a good tip?

Amateurs I've seen more often than not will open their club face at address versus close and they think it's square thing a square Yeah, So I bet you were slightly open and they actually squared it, because when you actually do have a completely square club face, it can look a little closed.

In fact, I was trying to get Calid out to the Hype Golf thing the other day. He didn't respond to my text. No idea if that's still his phone number is really old and uh yeah, but I'll definitely play with Kali. Kala is a character. I think that he's great for the game of golf. He's obviously obsessed, so we definitely need to play.
