BFOCHS INTERVIEWS THE TRAKDEALAZ!
Author: admin
SHOUTS TO THE HOMIE BFOCHS FOR SHOOTING THIS OVER TO ME. WWW.BFOCHS.COM!
BFochs: What’s goin’ on Buck 50 CEO? Big ups for takin’ the time to do this interview man, I know you are in the lab constantly cookin’ up some more heat, it’s hard to a take a break when you’re in the zone. How’s the grind treatin’ ya? How are things going for you overall?
Buck50CEO: We successful! So that’s a blessing in itself. The grind is what we live. We are from the streets so we know what it is to grind, but we are also educated so we know how to utilize our work ya dig! Basically, things couldn’t be better! Lol.
BFochs: Indeed, success is dope, managing the grind is crucial. Let’s get it officially crackin’ with an introduction, tell the BBB viewers who you are, where you’re from, the name of your movement, and your favorite beat that you’ve produced thus far.
Buck50CEO: Well, first I am Buck50CEO of the TrakDealaz. My partners are Extrawdinare, Skyz Muzik and Mistah Sandman! We represent the TrakDealaz click! My favorite and most fun joint we did was “Richer then Richie” for Cory Gunz!…but we got plenty of accomplishments that we appreciate!
BFochs: What’s good Extrawdinare, Skyz Muzik and Mistah Sandman I see you! How did you and the rest of the crew initially link up to form this production team?
Buck50CEO: Me and Ex have been doing music for a minute! I used to rap and produce and Extrawdinare used to submit beats to me. He’s from a block I used to hustle on in Midtown and I was mentoring some other cats that wanted to produce, I’ve always been doing music and I saw the talent in him. I used a couple of joints and from there it was history. I got locked up, came out and me and him linked up officially on the music tip! I ended up gettin’ my bread back up and we came up with the TrakDealaz brand! While me and Ex were grindin’ we ended up at Universal and an A&R over there slid us a number to a producer he messed wit, that was Mistah Sandman. At the same time, I was battlin’ a cat on the net beat for beat on Myspace and he brought up that we was both too fire to be battlin’ and that we should work together. That was Skyz Muzik, we all met once ,felt the power in the room and the rest was history! I got the paperwork right and we signed in!
BFochs: That’ dope how you all came together like voltron to form the Trakdealaz, good shit, good to see you all linked up, alone you’d be devastating forces in your own respects, but as a unit you can kill it even harder! Who influenced you to get into the music business? Did you have music in your background prior to jumping in? Who in the game right now inspires you to give the best effort in all of your projects?
Buck50CEO: Truthfully, no one did for me! When CDs first came out I had one and my parents always said I was going to be something! When ever I was lost I had music and I just had a deep passion for success! I knew I was nice and I used my street knowledge to seal the business aspect of the game. For Skyz it’s different. He’s been playin’ since he was 5 yrs old. He was brought up in the streets and the church, so he has swag plus the music theory needed to express passionate music! He also has family that has been there and done that in the game, which helped him visualize his goals! Mistah Sandman’s godfather is Yung Lord, so he had a little music background too. Seeing his godfather’s plaques pushed him to produce the best that he can! Extrawdinare is probably the youngest in the game out of all of us! He has no music background, but he’s very intelligent and picks up on things quicker then anyone I’ve worked with, so he picks up from all of us! We all wear multiple hats too which helps the team prosper to the fullest!! We all have our favorite producers like Heatmakerz, Timbo, Swizzy and Just Blaze, but right now Ryan Leslie is doing his damn thing!
BFochs: Being born with talent and passion for something is a good look, it appears you and your term are well-versed in your craft, that will only make your jobs easier. Ryan Leslie is super sick wit, as are the other producers you mentioned. If you had to compare your production style to a movie which movie would it be and why? Do you have any ambitions of producing a movie soundtrack in the future?
Buck50CEO: Jaws! definitely Jaws! We are creepin’ and little do people know if ya’ll like what we are releasing now wait till we get in the big studio and each one of us touches every beat we release! To us the beats we have released are just to prove we aren’t one hit wonders! When it comes to albums, your going to hear a whole new TrakDealaz sound!!! Jaws…lol…because we’re creepin’, and when we finally take our bite out the game we are going to monopolize the beat game for a good ten year run! On the movie tip, we got offers. We already scored a couple commercials, movies and DVDs! Recently, we scored for Elyvette!!…a brand new clothing line that’s branched from Victoria Secret. Our music will be played all around the world at all their fashion shows!
BFochs: That was a dope movie to compare your style, I completely get what you mean, you hear the sound effects of Jaws coming…then BAM! That project with Elyvette is a good look, big ups on that man, I look forward to hearing your guys’s stuff in movies and such in the future. is there any specific artist or groups you want to work with right now? Hho has been the most fun artist/group to work with thus far?
Buck50CEO: Right now, we need that official Wayne look, Jay-Z, Kanye, you know, the big guys! We are just takin’ our steps and branding the name! The funnest like I said before was Cory Gunz, He’s just down to earth and super creative! Also, JR Writer is another artist that we have fun with, because you never know what J’s going to say…lol…shout to both them!
BFochs: Cory Gunz is an animal and J.R. Writer goes hard with them crazy punchlines, I can’t imagine how dope it’d be to work with people of that caliber. I’m very confident the time will come soon whre you guys will be working with the Jay-Z’s of the game. Being that there is 4 creative minds at work when making beats I have to ask this. do you ever have big disagreements in regards to what direction you should take when making tracks?
Buck50CEO: We all respect each other for our positions. I got the business, directing and promotion. Skyz has the music theory and keyboard playing. Ex got the sample digging and video editing. Then, Sandman comes through with the technical stuff like software cracks, sound banks, etc! We all mix, produce and do a little of everything, but when it comes down to it we know who to go to for what! i’m the one bitchin’ at them because this is my life and I need to make sure they understand what I’m doing for the team and how we are approachin’ greatness!
BFochs: That’s cool you all got it figured out like that, with such creativity floating in the room thinks could get ugly lol, I’m glad you got a system down so that doesn’t occur. The first thing I thought of when I heard the name ‘TrakDealaz’ was movin’ them tracks, gettin’ your grind and hustle on. To you who are the greatest hustlers ever? They don’t have to be from the music business.
Buck50CEO: I mean to me the greatest hustlers are Russell Simmons, Diddy, Jim Jones, Dame, Jay-Z and me! That’s just on the music side! I say that because besides for Diddy and Russell who started in the labels, niggaz came from nothin’ and now they at the round table with the suits!
On just a hustler tip, I respect Trump, Oprah. and people of that caliber!..but I’m comin’I
BFochs: We all need that Oprah money lol. That was quality list of hustlers, nice response. In order to get that Oprah dough though you need to have the proper tools to make the beats thare are going to get you that gwap. All producers have their specific tools that they use to lay down them tracks. Which tools do you use? Do you prefer hardware or software? Do you think software and the advancement in technology has changed the game for the better or the worse?
Buck50CEO: We use everything. The standard MPC. We use all the keyboards: Fantom, Triton, ASR, Korg, Yamahas, etc. We also use Fruity Loops for complicated drum patterns! We use software right into Protools for added swag after we do the damn thing!…but our new toy is the Neko, Shouts to Open Lab! Can we get a couple on the arm?!? Lol.
BFochs: That’s how the magic happens folks, peep game producers, peep game! Everyone has a job or an occupation that they’d like to look at as their fallback if the music business isn’t kind to them. if you guys weren’t producing what do you think you’d be doing as a job?
Buck50CEO: Well for me there is no other option lol. I’ve got to many felonies to get a regular job. Skyz makes money all week playin keys. Sandman is in school studying to be a lawyer. and Extrawdinare, he is good as long as I am, ya dig! Failure is not an option! I will find a lane and burn it up!
BFochs: I feel you fam, I’d be up shit creek if not for music too, god bless music! One question about current affairs then we can continue on with the music. We just recently witnessed history with the electing of Barack Obama as our next president. What is your take on this matter and do you think Barack will be able to steer our country in the right direction after 8 years of bad policies and decisions by the Bush administration?
Buck50CEO: To keep it a hundred!…god bless that man! he proved to a lot of black youths that anything is possible and that’s what I’ve been preachin’ for a while. The thing is I like to show and prove, not talk! Hopefully Barack can do his thing and he doesn’t end up as a scapegoat for bush! the country has a lot of issues and I pray that the American people won’t blame him if everything isn’t taken care of by the end of his term!
BFochs: I jammed Sam Cooke,” A Change Is Gonna Come” most of the day after the election, it was truly a phenomonal event to be apart of. I think Obama will be good as long as he has a good team around him, hopefully America supports his movement further passed just being elected. Back to the music, what are some of the projects/tracks you guys have out there right now that people need to look out for? What are you guys working on right now that the fans will have to keep an eye out for in the future?
Buck50CEO: We just did a joint on the Skull Gang project which got millions of views and downloads! We got placements on Juelz’s album also! We have mixtapes in the works with Prospect Penz, Cory gunz, JR Writer, Square Off and Fred Money and we are negotiating a couple more! We produced a few joints that should be on Cam’ron’s “Crime pays.” We got a video coming out with Arliss Michaels and Hot Rod from G-Unit! We are also working with Mazaradi Fox and the Dumouts!! So basically, we are just bubblin’, waitin’ for our big hit!! Over the winter I’m planning on taking over the South and the R&b lane, just to prove we do it all! Big things poppin’, but are we staying humble until that big check comes in ya dig! To see our work cop the Blood, Sweat & Tears DVD, RealTalk DVD, and stay tuned to forbezdvd.com along with worldstarhiphop.com!!! we working!
BFochs: Nice, you got a lot on your plate, I’ll be keeping my ears peeled for more TrakDealaz produced tracks for sure. Fuck with all that stuff listed above people, these dudes get it in, witness greatness! What does the perfect beat sound like to you? What characteristics make the beat perfect?
Buck50CEO: The perfect beat to me is an Extrawdinare sample, chopped by Skyz, beat pattern by Skyz and synths created by Sandman!
BFochs: Perfect beat=Trakdealaz beat, you smell what Buck50CEO is steppin’ in people? Is there any projects you’ve been apart of where you thought things should have went better with the success of the track? How do you recoup from something like that happening? What kind expectations do you guys have for 2009?
Buck50CEO: Well just the other day, the Bang Bang Boogie niggaz deaded us on a movie soundtrack because they couldn’t wait for me to send the beat. We custom made the beat, I paid for the niggaz studio and shot the video for free and the second these niggaz heard a check they couldn’t wait for me to send the beat before they made their move! Shits funny to me…lol…niggaz don’t realize who I am!! By 2010 i guarantee I’m going to be giving niggaz deals. I’m the next Jimmy, Dame, Puff and Jay-Z! Niggaz should call me Christopher Lloyd because I’m so far in the future, niggaz can’t understand the steps I’m making now! Where I’m, at Obama’s in his second term ya dig!
BFochs: Damn that’s nuts, the game is a fickle mistress. Making a “Back To The Future” reference>, ya, I went there. I definitely see those types of things mentioned above happening mane, just keep grinding and I’ll be reading “Exectutive Producer: Buck50CEO” on CD inserts. The music business is as crazy as it’s ever been. If you could compare the state of the game to a beat you’ve produced which would it be and why? Do you think the game will straighten itself out or do you think it will only get more crazy?
Buck50CEO: The game is fucked. and niggaz don’t know where to go because once shit isn’t comfortable for niggaz they run to something else, when usually the answer lies within the problem! Enough said! You haven’t heard the beat that explains the state of the game, but it’s coming!
BFochs: Vicious business people, this shit ain’t for the faint of heart. Watch out for said beat people, I’m sure you’ll recognize the tone when you hear it! Let’s say a instrument company thought you guys were so raw they wanted you to design an instrument for producers. What would this device include? What would it be called?
Buck50CEO: Truthfully, we are on that level already. I can’t release that info without fucking up my bread! Lol, producers catch up!! Open Lab holla at me!
BFochs: That’s what it is, you know you’re doing it big when you got your hands in stuff like that. We have reached the end of the road homie, good shit. Any shout outs, last words or comments before we wrap this thing up?
Buck50CEO: The TrakDealaz are next, shout to my brothers! Extrawdinare, Mistah Sandman and Skyz Muzik, I got you niggaz!! Ya’ll know I don’t sleep and sacrifice my life for this! Let’s get it!!!! Www.trakdealaz.com coming ‘09!!!
BFochs: Big ups once again Buck50CEO for taking the time to chop it up with the Fochsman, I wish you and the TrakDealaz the best of luck in anything you do in the future, take it easy homie.
RUMOR IS THAT DUDES HAVE BEEN USING THIS FOOTAGE ON SOME CHOP AND PASTE SHHHH! HERE IS THE FULL INTERVIEW UNEDITED! SHOUTS TO DOGGIE DIAMONDS THE INTERVIEW KING! KEEP DOING YOUR THING.

SHOUTS TO MY HOMIE BF! CHECK OUT HIS NEW INTERVIEW OF TOOKNOWN!!! FOR THE FULL INTERVIEW GO TO WWW.BFOCHS.COM!!!
BFochs: What’s goin’ down TooKnown? Big ups for takin’ the time to do this interview homie, I know you stay busy, the grind is sick, sick as fuck lol. What’s good though man, how are you feelin’?
TooKnown: Ah man, you know what it is. I’m always on my grind tryin’ to get all my peoples out there and I’m doin’ a damn well good job as you can see, so I guess you can say I’m doin’ pretty good!
BFochs: I feel you man, can’t make moves sittin’ around haha. Let’s get this thing started then shall we? How’s about you give the kind BBB viewers a formal intro. Tell ‘em who you are, where your from, what you do and the name of your movement.
TooKnown: Ok ok for sure! I’m TooKnown, straight out the 561, South FL holdin’ it down. What I basically do is promote and film artists. I do interviews, A LOT of interviews as you can see on all the blogs and I just try and get the artists out there. I mean they need to be heard and need to be seen, and right now I’m their guy! Oh and definitely when you see that Manic Productions logo you better know what’s up!
BFochs: Fortunately I know what’s up, these cats that are sleepin’ need to smoke a pack of actright lights and get with program! You got a lot of things going on, let’s start with the blog you run. Let ‘em know the site name, the domain and why you came in the blog game.
TooKnown: Well to all those who don’t know, it’s TooKnownsWellKnowns.blogspot.com. It’s the place where you’ll find everything you need. Ha, NAW, but you’ll find some of the hottest artists out in my local scene, I mean HOT. I don’t only fuck with local artists, recently I’ve been goin’ out and gettin’ more artists from around the country to help them out too. I mean I came in this game not thinkin’ I was going to do as well as I did. I did it just for my local scene and at first that’s what it was, but it’s growing and I don’t want it to stop!
BFochs: I feel you man, you gotta support the local cats first and foremost, it’s cool you’ve branched out to help others. So how much has the blog you run helped in your quest in exposing others to the artists you deal with thus far?
TooKnown: I mean, damn, it’s helping out a shit load. Mad people are hitting me up on myspace saying “yo, what’s up, wanna post my songs?” Not only that, the artists I post are getting seen a lot more then they already are. Being that I’m online they get “worldwide” exposure. So as of right now nothing big has happened for my artists, but wait…just wait you’ll see!
BFochs: The grind will pay off in a big way, I know you work hard as shit man so that time you put in will make sense and cents in the end. You got the blog rockin’, we established that, who are some artists we can expect to see when we hit up TooKnown’s WellKnowns?
TooKnown: Oh for sure man, we are doin’ big things for sure. When you click on there you can find artists like: GC, J.Dog, Rick Ross, DJ Unreal, Prat, Pretty Slick, Yung Brick, and there’s so many more. Just go check out my affiliates section and you can see EVERYONE that I fucks with, It’s a pretty long list.
BFochs: You mentioned your homie J. Dog, if you can, shine some more light on what you guys got cooking up right now, I know he’s got a tape coming out sometime soon with the infamous DJ Papa Smirf, what’s good with all of that?
TooKnown: Oh hell YES! Ha, the most anticipated mixtape on my block! On some real shit, if J. doesn’t get signed or even looked at after this tape then the industry needs to step their shit up. Real talk. The tape is called “Back In the Lab Take 4 (Hosted by DJ Papa Smirf).” It comes out the 23rd of November, but of course I have some exclusives up on my blog AND I got the tape WAY before everyone else. That’s just some of the perks that come with this job, you know what I mean BFochs.
BFochs: I most definitely smell what your steppin’ in mane. That’s probably the best perk of the blog game, new music! By the boatload too! Lol. If you had to compare J. Dog to your favorite Cool & Dre beat which beat would it be and why? What kind of production can we expect to see on the project?
TooKnown: Oh damn, that’s a tough one. I mean if I had to compare him to one of their beats it would have to be “Big Dreams” because that’s what he has and nothing should get in the way of it. He’s an amazing rapper. His flow is sick and the way he puts it on stage is sick, I mean there’s nothing else I can say. Oh and for production I mean shit, look for some original songs, but also look for those infamous J. Dog freestyle which are already on hot beats. It’s [Papa] Smirf puttin’ it together, dude knows what he’s doing.
BFochs: Word, Smirf knows what he’s doing, when he’s attached to a project things are looking very good for said project. “Big Dreams” is a dope beat, wise choice, wise choice. Your workin’ with your homie G.C. as well, why don’t you put the BBB viewers up on game with G.C. I know I posted his stuff before, but you know how people enjoy sleeping lol.
TooKnown: Haha for sure. We’re both up madd early grindin’ and people are just sleeping…but aye, on some real shit, G.C. is next right after J. G.C.’s new mixtape is droppin on V Day, Valentine’s for those who couldn’t get that, and I mean shit…I’m hearing the shit he’s doing and how his flow has changed from when we were in school together to the way it is now and I mean. DAMN! So definitely go cop that or check my blog for dudes songs, he’s definitely got some hot songs with SICK features on them as well.
BFochs: You heard the man people, watch out for G.C’s new tape and hit up TooKnown’s WellKnowns ASAP to check out all the hottest G.C. music! Ok, we spoke on the blog, the artists you work with, but really, that’s just the tip of the iceberg. You make videos, do interviews and everything in between. When did you officially start producing, interviewing and all that?
TooKnown: Well damn man, I’ve been doin’ my company, Manic Productions, since the wee ages of high school and I mean I only got real serious when I looked at myself and was like, “I got a camera and mad peeps that are artists, why the fuck am I not doing anything?” That’s when I started my blog, posted a couple songs and filmed my first interview with G.C. I also make movies, do shows, music videos and all that. I mean, I went from doin’ just one interview for G.C. to doing freestyle videos with Rick Ross. When G.C. and Flo-Rida did a couple of shows together I was there chillin’ and filming them as well. I mean I do it all.
BFochs: That’s what it is man, you said fuck the bullshit, I got the means to get it crunk, let’s get it! Lol, being that your a director of videos you probably pay closer attention to the music videos coming out nowadays than the average person. It’s clearly evident that things aren’t how they used to be in the music video department. What do you think are the main factors for the dip in music video quality? If you had the budget these big-named artists had to make videos how would you approach things?
TooKnown: I mean, not only looking at T-Pain’s videos where EVERYTHING is green screen, a.k.a., fake!..like, it just takes away the purpose of filming. Like just have an animator draw T-Pain. I mean, I like doin’ real shit. For example, T.I.’s video, or like Willy Northpole, or B.o.B.’s videos are all real and go with the song. I mean the animation is cool and all, but come on.
THA CARTER CARTEL INTERVIEWS ARTICULATE!
Author: admin
BE SURE TO CHECK OUT THA CARTER CARTEL’S INTERVIEW OF ARTICULATE! IT’S A GOOD READ. SHOUTS TO DEREK OF TCC! GO TO WWW.THACARTERCARTEL.COM TO READ THE FULL INTERVIEW!!!
The dictionary definition of “articulate” is one who uses language easily and fluently. When you think of a person’s rap name, his persona if you will, the name usually matches the man (or woman if you’re one of the half-dozen successful female rappers to ever roc the mic). But in the case of DC-based, Baltimore-bred rapper Articulate, the name doesn’t simply match the man, it defines him. His confident, socially conscious flow has blossomed from the rough streets of his hometown and made him into a unique lyricist who seems to care more about the articulation of his rhymes than the height of his fame. He wears spectacles and goes to Art School; he’s insightful, and conceptualizes the state of himself and his contemporaries through his rhymes. Using African-American struggles of past, his songs tell a story of people stuck in the cycle, just trying to stay alive. He finds ironies in the fact that “we [African-Americans] had to cross the Atlantic just so we could be slaves.” He understands what many of his colleagues seem to forget: everybody, black, white, rich, indignant, young, and old, have struggled in the bullshit of the daily grind. But what’s most distinctive about Articulate is that he preaches progression and maintains that expanding your world is truly the only way to expand your mind.
The Baltimore hip-hop scene has historically avoided relevancy with artists who are undeniably talented, but seem to tip towards mediocrity rather than excellence. It spawned a “thong song”, and provided a teenage Tupac Shakur an education, but otherwise it has never been considered a hip-hop pantheon. But shit, all that is about to change. By fusing house, drum, and bass samples into the hip-hop world, the Baltimore Club scene (as it’s known) is about to explode; and Articulate is playing a major role in the city’s musical evolution. Having released his introspective, intellectual “Slave For This Dollar EP” earlier this year, Artic seems to be poised to finally put the Baltimore hip-hop scene on the map. We at Tha Carter Cartel recently had an opportunity to catch up with Articulate on everything from the Baltimore Club scene, to Barack’s historic victory, to Kanye’s lazy ass; this is what he had to say…
Peace,
-Quinn Eastwood for Tha Carter Cartel
***
TCC: What’s up Articulate, thanks for taking the time to let us holla for a minute. So what have you been up to lately? We know you dropped the “Slave for This Dollar EP” earlier in’08 and the “Warmup” is coming soon. Can you tell us about the process you go through in the studio, writing rhymes, making beats, producing, etc?
ARTICULATE: I mean it’s different every time. A lot of times I just come up with ideas when I’m driving around and listening to music. Sometimes people send me beats, but my main dude is D-Tox and Rickie Jacobs, shout to out them. But um, they give me a beat and then an idea will just pop into my head and I’ll start writing. But when I make the beat it’s gonna be different because I’ll have a concept that I feel will be better if I personalize it. Or sometimes I’m playing around with different sounds and something pops out and I want to do a song to it and I’ll just do it. It’s really natural, I don’t try to force anything, you know?
TCC: We do. So when exactly is the Warmup going to drop and what specifically can we expect from it?
ARTICULATE: The week after Thanksgiving, I’m looking at droppin’ it that Friday I think. Basically The Warmup is for people to catch up on me. I have a lot of old stuff that people might not of heard but I think it’s some of my best material. Other than that it’s gonna have a couple of new joints for people who have heard things and wanna hear more. So basically it’s something to get people more familiar with me as an artist.
TCC: So I understand you grew up in the Baltimore/Washington DC area, can you talk a little bit about what it was like growing up in a place that doesn’t necessarily provide all the tools a young person needs to succeed? How did you persevere and what advice can you give to young kids who are growing up in similar environments?
ARTICULATE: Well, you know, growing up in Baltimore, the city has a real bad rap because a lot of people have only seen it the Wire and the news and stuff like that. The street I was from, my grandmother’s street, Baker Street, definitely wasn’t the best area. But I was lucky because my mom, she was really focused on education, she’s an educator herself, so she put me in one of the top private schools in the area and really focused on college and things like that. It really made me a more balanced individual in terms of seeing both sides of the spectrum. I seen some of the areas that are impoverished with some of the worst crime and drug problems and then I’ve been chillin’ with kids of some of the most affluent people in the city. So I think that makes me really well balanced. But the main thing for people who are not from the best areas is to get out and see more than just the block and the neighborhood. That’s something that can really open your mind to new possibilities. I’ve seen a lot of hopelessness with people, but seeing something other than what you’re used to, something other that your old situation, can really inspire you to do more.
TCC: In terms of the hip-hop scene in Baltimore, you’ve been quoted as saying there’s a lot of talent coming out of homegrown Baltimore sound but it hasn’t become popular around the country. What’s stopped it from blowing up?
ARTICULATE: There are a lot of different things. Baltimore is a place—I don’t know, it seems like right now the internet is really the way for new artists to get out in terms of different websites and blogs and everything. And a lot of artists don’t seem to be going really hard on the Internet thing when they should be. When I was a little bit younger, when I was coming up, there was a certain place that you performed at that was the only place you performed and that’s just what you did. It didn’t really go too much further than that. I think it’s just a matter of people just getting out and seeing more and really understanding life—different ways of taking your music further, which right now the Internet is the best way to go. Right now too, Baltimore is really close to DC, and DC has taken off and it’s kind of overshadowing the Baltimore scene a little bit. But it’s all good because this whole area in general needs to come up. I definitely would like to see more artists from my neck of the words, Baltimore, come out, and I definitely wanna come out and represent and be a voice for the city.
