WELL HELLO HEY HI THERE...

[@rclvisuals]

DPryde, Tim Delaghetto, Lil Crazed, JRAquino, Jreyez, Tori Kelly, made my childhood in music in the MySpace era.

Memories 😂. kzbin.info/www/bejne/g3LahHqqrrydi9Usi=pVlAplmA8TBVd9bH

[@LeonSenpaiiii]

Thank you, everyone doesn’t give the Asian KZbinr era the credit it deserves for helping KZbin kick off the ground

[@TheGuyJose]

They were really big at that moment all over KZbin

the day russell uploads all the music he's taken down will be the most hype day ever

[@brad6546]

He doesn't want to bro the past is the past

[@ItsBFrizzy]

"I'm making the music my mom would have played in the morning " geeze I got chills hearing that.. forever inspired ❤

[@ddhdpodcast]

RUSSELL! inspired us too, thanks for watching!

[@brightonfontaine7448]

Watching Russell since before he was D-Pryde has been such a fun ride. 16 years, man

[@Nativeaboriginal]

For real, i can still remember seeing his mom in some of his vids

[@Thatmeee11]

From the MySpace days

[@kzxjone]

And he still ain’t blow up yet

[@Thatmeee11]

@@kzxjone maybe not world but in Canada he’s known. Is buzz is way bigger than from bk than. We in the USA pumping his sh!t

[@chymarsowell]

Wow. Can’t believe it’s been that long

[@prnstarmoney]

I’ve been listening to Russell since I was in 4th grade and seeing him grow and even after being knocked down he stayed strong and pounded it out. It’s great to see his rise and comeback to music Let’s Go Mr. Sweethartt

[@savagesigh1550]

Give this man his flowers 🔥

[@caangxy]

when he teared up i did too

[@Sarudth]

Facts man! I grew up listening to Russell since I was like 14 and I’m 26 now. He plays a huge part of my taste in music for years and still in-tune

[@DOWNTOWNMAK]

@@Sarudthbro gave me my style

[@LilCCorleone]

Confirmation I needed as an artist in their early 30s, thanks Russ

[@JasEdo]

I felt that too bro. I’m just now starting music at 29 and since I’ve been writing, I’ve felt “what if it’s too late for me?” Nope, i still got this… you still got this too homie.

[@LilCCorleone]

@@JasEdo I feel ya homie, and thanks bro 🙏🏽🙏🏽 hell I started when I was 12 I just ran into a lot of road blocks, some of which I caused myself and no reliable team but I'm starting to see a little more traction keep it up tho man all the hurdles are just a test

[@JasEdo]

@@LilCCorleone aye man, you just got a new subscriber in me homie. Tracks are sick! I don’t have anything out yet but my zone is in reggae. Which is crazy coincidence because you got the same last name as Don Corleone, who’s a reggae legend in producing

[@StepFamM3dia]

I have NEVER watched an interview in normal speed. Always 2x speed to get through it. But growing up and being a D-Pryde fan since Day when i found him in the Myspace Era and seeing go through this journey, there was no way i can speed this up. Thank you RUSSELL! For this interview and sharing us your words. Looking forward to this new Chapter Mr. Sweetheart ❤️‍🔥

[@2basick]

oh sanps i didnt know this was D-Pryde

[@rclvisuals]

It’s been 17 years since I first found this man’s music. Basically grew up along side Russel and have seen his growth and everything.

[@Miggiex]

One of my favorite artist ever

[@Dogeyess]

Shout out to Russell!

[@mmunamana]

[@LuffyAkAMaDGuY]

So proud of RUSSELL!! been happy to still be here from day one!

[@jehzanexclusive]

Amazing interview! I’m such a big fan of Russell and his journey. Pinoys up!! And I definitely relate about loving our culture but that passiveness definitely can stunt our growth and development. Overall dope, powerful, and fun convo.

[@ddhdpodcast]

Thank you for watching, we're glad you enjoyed it!

[@TheWhyteKnyte]

Man I love Russell. He has a had a real ass journey with serious ups and downs and I love to see that. I can’t wait to see every bit of this interview.

[@Crossovaking32]

“I’m making the music my mom would love!” That’s some real stuff

[@Sarudth]

Yoooo thanks for bringing out Russell!. U guys are 🐐 for this

[@dwaynegraham5213]

The pleasure was ours. He is an amazing guest. Real solid person with a great heart

[@ddhdpodcast]

He's such a treasure, was our pleasure. Thank you for watching, we really appreciate it.

[@dymeaduzin]

Love this!

[@dnation_music]

Russell is so damn underrated. He deserves a spot at the top!!! :(

[@steelcitytv]

Miss when he sing and rap now that it's just singing just not my thing and yes you can pop at any age I mean I listen to some of the old guys Adam Calhoun and people that pay their own way 40 years old still drop heat

[@TheGuyJose]

Wishing Russell so much success, such a great person! Grew up watching him.

[@cookiedot]

I've always been a fan since 2008, always looked up to your music and style!! I had a small chat with mama duke before she left us cause one of my mates was her schoolmate back home, i wish you all the best bro!! Will never forget the iconic "YEAHHH"

[@adozt]

I've been following Russell, since D Pryde Era...love from Malaysia...

[@KamoyaAsh]

Love this interview, some real gems and a real look at life! Kudos to you RUSSELL! Your mom is looking down on you with a smile seeing all your success thus far and where she knows you'll take this music thing to in the future!

[@rigobertoalcantar9519]

This was a great interview, Russell seems to be in a great headspace and I love that for him. I feel he’s finally finding peace within himself

[@BLACKHEARTKEIJI]

we love Russell!!!

[@mediumsuspect]

RRRRIIIIIICCCCHHHHHVVVVAAALLLLLEEEEE ❤

[@JarisMusic]

Green Tea Arizona days... Seen every stage, still 4eva in your corner Russ 🥂

[@brad6546]

1:01:15 what album is he talking about here? I'm pretty sure it's loverboy right? It can't be carnival or russell but it could be lovely bc boy lonely came after that

[@stardestroya15]

It's been a pleasure growing up with Russell. I've been listening to him since we were 17 and there were some songs he put out that were exactly what I was growing through at the time. This interview could have been 6 hours and I was having such a good time.

[@Syyyche]

This just solidified my love for Russell even more.

[@YourRedditStoryTellers]

Super glad to know he still wears hats

[@a.j.maldonado9540]

I respect you and this interview. I'm 33 years old and been listening to your music since d pryde I still bumping music I was listening to it like 2 days ago Jody and Rebecca is by far my favorite.... But much respect you for this interview bro

[@mr.stoneyloney3256]

Thank you for doing this I really think Russell! Needed to air some stuff out that he has been keeping for far to long. I feel like after this interview he would feel much more better with him self and some closure. Thank you Russell!!

[@basketfullofish]

That age shit doesn’t matter when it comes to creativity, Kanye made his best album at 33.

[@Areyudumb]

NHB IYKYK 😂

[@Pourkhoa]

Just saw him open for Roy woods in Ottawa. He killed it. Legit forgot about him since the SayAhh rekix

[@Pharmaquatics]

still remember when i made c-walking vids to d-pryde. what an OG

[@DeeJayAndre905]

He is incredible and loved the interview. Very transparent and well spoken.

[@LuffyAkAMaDGuY]

The Trini roots caught me offguard. 🇹🇹

[@KJcinemas]

Ive been a fan since NHB and he inspired me to rap for a little bit 😂😂 those days are long gone for me, but he definitely ignited that spark for my childhood ❤

[@aleishaw3454]

Such a great interview!

[@HereGoesSomethin]

here for pryde love you man keep going no matter what

[@joshuaefojie]

A fan of the entire journey. D-Pryde days & RUSSELL days!!!

[@AreezRex]

when I see people complain online this is the voice I would read it in 1:00:39

[@blessedjacob7773]

We want the songs back to your page broo. To many songs to mention. But i want them badly!

[@vSilentangel]

Agreed, I go to look up one of his older songs and find out they’ve been removed. Happens nearly every time I go to show someone a song too.

[@jayflexxincash]

Goat

[@egodrunk]

I use to listen to dpryde back in college (i'm 30 now) and always wondered where this dude is at. I'm actually surprised he's making a living from his music since he's not at all that popular.

[@kcdaman98]

Crazy

[@jocoandama1844]

soundclick was poppin too

[@waskowcreationsart9639]

❤

[@MatthewChang-z7n]

That traffic is bad everywhere honestly

[@maranzano000]

Bro the weirdest thing for me to see is when i first saw you on 4ye. It was so mind blowing 😂😂😂

[@ReigningCharmanders]

Kodyyyyy was so perfect looking only found of him cuz of Dpryde

[@jokersmoker3119]

I miss the rap stuff vibes❤

[@SavTheGenius]

D-Pryde!!!

[@momoswaggens]

Russell signed my homies chest in reno and told us it was his first male tiddy signature lmao great dude

[@brandynmilammusic]

bro when i was in middle school i remember i had stole this nigga song and rapped it for my friends and told them i made it bruh d pryde is a goat

[@hectorcardenas9790]

There's this story from the bay that Russell! Stole his new persona from the bay and he did the call capa name withe the (!) From IAMSU! Mike da$h -e brought him around and there is/was a freestyle KZbin of him with hbk and Mike dash-e. I love Russell! And d- pryde/ pryde. But that's something that needs to be addressed.

[@hectorcardenas9790]

Why's the mike dash -e crossed out on my comment

[@MatthewChang-z7n]

I can't achieve my goal why I'm disabled

[@dylanreykdal1154]

D PRIZZZZY

[@yajwells6153]

never knew he was raised a trini ahhahahah thats jokes.

[@FrenchieLyfe]

Bro dude with the fro need to chill: we didn’t come here to listen to you talk. Interview your guests

[@quiz2424]

when the interviewer talks too much

[@swagbag7951]

Been a dpryde fan since his byahhhhhh KZbin channel. But that toxic speech at the end fufu. If you need a girl to replicate your mom, then you not ready for a relationship.
