Real 💯💯💯
Unity is strength, three great talents, unnu try work things out... good interview young man.
If DJ Mac contribution was so inconsequential as they try to make seem then explain Teejay voicenotes heaping praises on him for reviving his buzz?
The song buss and he’s excited in everything that was happening no one is undermining dj Mac when hes part owner of the song all parties spend money but we must not forget it’s panda production it’s panda project dj Mac played no part in the creative process what else should he be entitled to when him already put his name down as a performer on the song uploaded as him owning the masters a 💯 which isn’t right because the master’s is spilt 3 way between panda teejay & dj Mac the publishing side of thing only goes to composer/beat maker & song writer/ performer
Yuh nah hear? Di man neva seh what Mac did was inconsequential...the praise comes from the STREET wirk and the job Mac was suppose to do which Panda acknowledged in the whole interview...its the fact that Mac took certain tings apon himself without linking Panda which was also a fault from Teejay as well. Hearing this interview cleared up everything I needed to know
So much information in this one interview. Shoutouts to The Fix crew and ProdbyPanda
Good interview to a young beat maker and producer he clarified somethings and i appreciate that.
Great interview guys. Very important to hear Panda’s side
IT SAD WHEN THE YOUNGEST YOUTH CAN EXPRESS HIMSELF AND THE SITUATION FLUENTLY BIG UP PANDA ANOTHER ST.JAGO PRODUCT ...
But couldn’t answer a str8 fwd ? On its not a active case
@@IslandZaddybecause clearly he didn't want to step on either sides toes and mess up his business relationship
Loved that interview! Very insightful
Really impressed at how knowledgeable this young man is about the business side of the music.
One of the best interview in along time.
I think a lot of people don’t realize that even when a song gets big the producer nor the act gets money off it until a certain time so it’s based off shows for the artist and then the producer gets his feed back then . As it relates to Djmac he more than likely got his money already but he wants more based on what he is seeing of the song and him tying him self to the project. The one thing teejay did wrong was tell him about him madda that wasn’t called for handle that off the air . But he was also right that even tho teejay has songs the reason why he got booking for sumfest etc it’s because of this song . Big up to panda 🐼 for this amazing beat …
IF YOU DON'T KNOW BUSINESS SIDE OF THE MUSIC, LEAVE IT ALONE. U TALKING TRASH. TEEJAY MAKE MAC BE THE PRODUCER AND WHEN THE SONG GET BIG , THEY DON'T WANT HIM BENEFIT ARE OWN THE SONG, PRODUCER ALWAYS OWN SONGS
@@OuttaroadOuttaroadtvTru,that’s why when it comes to business you always have something written and signed.And the fact they put him on it then he deserves royalties because that’s a clear indication of acceptance.
Teejay and Masicka tek Sumfest last year. Him did haffi go back this year. Stop the cap
Teejay would have been booked irregardless because mobay a fi him grung as well as Tommy Lee's!
@@r410a6he’s going to get the royalties it’s clearly stated. panda said it in the interview. He DJ Mac however wants to own the song but he didn’t make the riddim or voice it so he can’t claim those rights. He went behind their back to claim rights to the song come on all he has to do is wait till the streams hit and he will be ok he will be eating forever in the backend. He’s being greedy
Ari please allow the interviewee to complete a thought..please
Solid interview! Best so far since year.
Great interview no joke always learning in the business 💯
Sym Ronald Mac'Donald. Clown!! Big up TJ and Panda for such a wonderfully creative, melodic and rhythmic song. Classic for life. 🚀
💯
Good interview big up panda💯✅
Good interview 💯
Mi went str88t to the comments to see what dem music lawyers saying😂😂😅
Thanks much for this video.
Good interview so far
The humility and focus of this young man shows that he has good parents in his life. Keep your head up and remain disciplined, young man.
Panda, I heard you on another interview stating that one of TeeJay link told you guys that this song was RoseDon style and flow. Now yuh change yuh mouth. You need to stop talking about it and just plea the 5th.
DJ Mac is the executive producer (they spend money), ProdByPanda is the composer (they make the music), Teejay is the songwriter/performer/producer.
Facts 💯
Can't be exec if all you did was push it a road
@@btcmewzik9613you can be an executive producer for so many things, prime example is DJ Khaled he's literally a music curator exclusively and still gets credits for every song he helps put together
well said.....dem a try cut out the yute....
but all 3 of them spent money
DJMac should have prepared a contract as soon as he agreed to take the song from Teejay and have all persons involved in the song sign. If this was done, we wouldn’t be having any discussion about “Drift”. This is very embarrassing. So everybody wants someone to invest in their talent/beat/song but nobody wants that investor to recoup their investment. Teejay did say that Mac should take the song and run with it whichever way to make it work. He said that on live…..Most a dem artiste bwoy ya an beat makers are worse than some loose gyal a road.
He's listed on the song as a producer so if the song blow up he's getting paid
That’s y u nuh try and help people even but Mac shouldn’t tell teejay seh him gimmie dah big push even though it kinda true…..just greed this all boils down to.
Panda handled this interview quite intelligent, big ups to him💯
I agree with you ontonio💯
Good interview
Mac never claimed he made the beat he said panda produced. The ep part is where he said he promoted it and pushed it a rd
Fix a fuckry fi di Flow soundtrack inna di intro 😂
Wah see me a look fi skip ad 💀
This feel like the man deh a court…questions and answers back n forth
Before you do business make sure a certified written agreement is in place, we as a country practice bad business all a round.
Yo panda I’m looking forward for you coming into this and change the gear of production as a young producer the way you talk on your humbleness, I see great things in you
Big UP the entire "Jamaica Music" Fraternity 🇯🇲🎼 ... Oneness a Di Only Way!!! 💯🙏🏽
Thanks to Fix fi pull in d yute. Bad beat bro, we looking out for more from Panda

Long time, I have not sat down and listen the FIX, the interview was meaningful and concise. The song is uptempo and sassy. Panda, keep your musical vibes flowing and creative. Shout out Naro and Ari. The Fix ✨🌞🌷✨💓🎵😇
Big up panda. Real talented youth them fi get them bread and recognition 💯. Nuff using gwan Inna the industry
That dubplate at the beginning 🔥
To panda stand on business regardless this was even learning more
Keep building good danceable tracks. You sound very mature and level headed. Wishing you all the best.
Very intelligent young man ,your knowledge of the industry is on par. Big up panda
Panda Mac and tee jay is sabotage the 💰💰💰
But panda seem like a good youth, very humble, speck well too
Not Naro and Ari matching in Black and White
Nah lie youth this interview was immaculate 🎉🎉🎉
Technically, u can't put *"street producer"* on the paperwork, and based on how u explained his contribution, it's fair to say he an executive producer...but u refuse to use that term so u dumb down di man ting to street-producer.
An Executive Producer don't have to make the beat or write the song. Puffy, Khalid, etc, don't do either of the aforementioned. Personally, I think bcuz Panda mek di beat & TJ write the song, the automatically think nobody else matters! *WRONG!!!* Di man have a right fi ask questions...STOP YUH NONSENSE!
Nail on the head
Exactly even Zum from Good Good Productions & TJ from TJ Records both are executive producers who don't make beat & nobody would dear try to cut out their contribution. Hell even Kartel little son is a producer with hits & I doubt he make them beats himself
😂 man seh street producer so all the dunce them can understand..thus executive producer thing nuff Don t understand😂 so easy wid the gyal feelings😂
You haven’t been paying attention read on the music rights and tell who’s wrong in this situation executive producer like khalid and p Diddy pay producer to work on a song while giving directions or also record the artiste themselves. One Mac was apart of the production he didn’t voice anyone Mac got a song and teejay spilt the masters 3 way making Mac a producer on the track panda paid half the funds for the mix with Mac each of them spend money Mac main roll was to promote the song and playing it in the parties
@@Akeem_768 those exec buy the beat the produce the song under their production at the point the beat still own his publishing because it’s his beat but the label own the masters for example TJ record. Ppl failing to understand that drift is panda production meaning him create the beat and produce the song with teejay top braff music dj Mac was given a share of the masters for his influence on the scene and to push the song in the street and parties getting the music wherever needs be. Also Mac contribute funds toward the final mixing an the making of the video
I detect a little grey area from this conversation..The fact that DJ Mac contributed to mixing, he might just have a claim for piece of the publishing.😅😅😅😅😅
No he can't claim nothing for mixing a song, a person is paid a fee to do that job. Unless they made an arrangement for Mac to get a percentage and don't collect upfront
@@nicklegendmusic In international music law/business, the Mixer is a composer/ writer. He adds elements to the original composition that produces the finish product...In most cases it's work for hire, but believe alot of them are credited on international tracks.
He is on the masters..so he is making money off streams from all the platforms
Really rate this interview… PANDA seems like a good yute intelligent and loves his craft only up from here yute
I would say to date this allegedly Teejay biggest song - From Rags to Riches (Official Music Video). DRIFT don't reach there yet.
Rags to riches don’t reach to big label Drifts does thou
*BIG UP PANDA!!* 🐼 🐼 😎
38:51 😂😂😂😂
Me ago say this again beat makers are the real stars
No they're not, beatmakers are a Dime a dozen. Producers is who put the money behind it so it can reach our ears
Very intelligent kid..👏
Can't be saying nobody nuh mek nuh money off d song when it's obvious money a mek surrounding d song
Deh yute yah a contradict everything wi hear on the voice notes and the fix not pressing him on his answers, this is poor journalism
Bless up panda 💯
I have been in this situation already with a artist on my first riddim
The changing of times, and why the reggae producer is so undervalued that you gotta be a producer/artist these days.
There was a time when the Riddim producer was the pinnacle of Danchall/Reggae. Where it was 90% collaborations with up and coming artist to make Riddim hits!!
Now you got a hit song and people are less likely to check for da producer name.
Back in Di Genius, Chimney, DJ Frass, Daseca etc!
Ari. Still got mad love for you.
I love The FIX.
Good interview. Panda sounds mature.
❤
Rass longtime mi nuh watch fix enuh😂😂😂😂let’s be honest tek y’all shine 😪😂
Yh Jaii Frais come & lap them
Ikr😂
Naro dem creative yf 😂. Spice voice saying sym in the background at the into.
Panda & TJ are signed to the same label, and they're also the beat-maker & songwriter on that particular project so DJ Mac will be automatically pushed to the side. They'll always be in agreement given the circumstances, so Mac argument will be drowned out.
Facts… hope dem work out things still caz mac do him work
Exactly
@1MrDavis ,salute on this ! Best comment. 👌 the question he said he won't answer to would've shown up him n Teejay team ,some dirty games playing on Mac in all honesty
well said
@@smurfgad8234 didn’t you hear Mac was trying to own 100 percent of the masters recording which is meant to split three way because all parties spend on the song equally publishing only concern the composer & song writers/ performers
St. Jago in the house🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉. Big up Panda
✅💯
How you not gonna tag the mans IG in the description?
will they take down this podcast ?..
Panda and teejay made a mistake…. In this social media era they didn’t needed Dj Mac tb, di song did already buss before it even released
The only issue here is lack of proper paper work . If Mac is to get a cut of the masters of the song , then the paper should say whatever percentage to go to Mac. Honestly in this case, everyone is a co-producer and each person gets a different percentage. When the flows ads running Mac never run in , it was Romeich that just look into things on Mac behalf , bcuz as a co-producer rightfully , what ever percentage of that flow ads Mac should just get his percentage , simple. Fix , please dnt complicate things. Dnt use the term executive producer bcuz based on what Panda is saying that term doesn’t make sense here.
Not because your apart of the project means you get apart of every income that flows in. He explained it in the interview. The riddim is his and teejay didn’t actually sing the song in the add. He did a dub. He gets his income from Apple Music, Spotify if it goes in a movie etc
Dj Mac have no part in the production he only had his name to the project that's all
🐼 loyal to Teejay and that’s that. Mac is for his money as he should it’s a business. Teejay think everyone wanna hold him down.
🤡
All parties contribute to the song equally and they split the masters three way dj Mac is the one trying to own a 100 percent of masters recording.. publishing has nothing to do with Mac spending his money or help with promotion publishing regardless only go to the beat maker/ composer & song writer/ performer only way Mac can get publishing is if panda or teejay sign over their publishing rights to him
@@recostarmikel815 you know a lot go get an interview 🐼
A one thing with artist and producer them lie nuh know who Fi believe on this
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 hey!!!!! Mi laugh eno.
It’s so crazy to see such a big song that can be debatable for the song of the summer.. so how nobody is making money off it who is making the money… youths need to stop sign
Royalty money’s are paid out quarterly. Only way you make money right away would be off publishing if someone uses the song for ads, movies etc. An publishing only goes to performers and composers, ie person who write the song and write/make the riddim
Song of the year so far if you ask me🤷🏾♂️
Never need Mac or boom boom still.. The song was destined to hit
If he should get a cut he should get it but the shady business is why dancehall is segregated. Smh
Nah Mac was needed, he push the song in the streets as a DJ and a producer
Facts
Love the interview. I’ve been watching the fix for a while and the interviews are good. But guys y’all need to fix up the studio or wherever it is that y’all shoot! The background is a mess! The furniture can be upgraded. It’s not hard to find a business that would sponsor the program with some good furniture because that would also be good promotion for said business. Continue with the good interview but just update the studio likkle bit!!
I think they are going for a dated look
This is why labels are important. If there were labels in dancehall there’d be less of this nonsense.
You think theren aren't labels in dancehall?
Nonsense you don't need label most hip hop artists right now are independent
@@antonemceish1006 there are but not enough and definitely not enough competent ones.
@@aaronsteven8961 labels and proper business folk who know the stuff are needed. If these rappers aren’t signed to labels, they have competent business people around them to get em to where they’re at.
Great representation. Can’t shake the fact that yeah, he has to side with the artiste. But is a good thing him and the Dj still converse. Him affi stay loyal to him agency and him artiste friend but hopefully, him and the Dj can fix things
This interview was a strait one very open
Love this!! Young and smart. These are the stories I like. If only children would take up some good hobbies or get access ❤
How comes he never initially said that MAC helped with mixing?? Yow Panda 🐼 yah good yute. Dont let Teejay corrupt you and then you inherit his enemies too. Dont undermine MAC's work because there is a reason Teejay and you didn't produce the track by unuh self.
Realest comment fam
Man young and deh get himself in mixup 🤣🤦🏽♂️
The Mac all a call Mac street producer the big billboard producer dem a try style
@@NiccoOnGomi a tell yuh
Hes gonna get himself blackballed cuz nuff people in dancehall dont like teejay as it is. Only cause him get a hit rn people giving him way but as him fall off again he will see
It obvious he was trying to squeeze out PANDA from him leave off the yute name and a give him the run around.
Him very young to the game. Said Solid agency deal with all of the paperwork with his signing.. ( wrong move - you need you own lawyer to figure out contracts in your interest , not friend thing - the label will not look out for your interest).. Panda could sign as a work for hire and give up him rights
Facts he should still have his own lawyer
Are ppl listening to what panda is saying or how he says it... He said they both paid for mixing but Mac isn't entitled to publishing.... Further more teejay said when he got the beat he took a while to do the song bcz dancing songs weren't his style now panda saying teejay did the song 2 days after he got the beat... Panda obviously on teejay side bcz of prior links
Damn Ari rapid fire questions let man finish answering the question before you ask another
Exactly
The young youths should learn how to portray themselves in an interview PANDA DID JUST THAT. Love the way he expresses himself
Most a the Ute dem a ghetto ghetto utes enuh dunce like rat bat. Panda seems like him have some level of education and understanding
Deh story yah mix up. Because mi nuh know who a tell the truth
Exactly a contract cuda save all this drama smh
Yf
Thos youth very inteligent. Wull up you head youth. Just continue do you thing bredda
ALL WHA GWAAN YOU AND TEEJAY DID WHA USE MAC! Dats all mi si a gwaan….
Yup
Yzt never know a suh him stay see then him sing bout people fake
I hope u guys ask why other people can’t go on the riddim
30:10 to 31:01 explains how everything start #dothemaths
Mac had no right to try claim the beat for himself, but in all honesty he did the ground work for the song to take off
That is why he would get a percentage of the masters for the little he spent into the song but he is not the executive producer.. do the research. Mac would only get a commissioned but not owned the property
dem a tell lie pon mac....dem a tek up fi each other....cause dem deh pon same label...
@@sugastick30 what label idiot it the same management company kmt read a book what actually learn the business of music he’s lucky teejay even offer him piece of the masters panda & teejay should’ve just paid him to push the song and the only reason jd Mac name was on the song as a performer is because he chose to upload the song with the distributor that way and have nerve wanted to claim the master’s recording for himself
When someone gives you a compliment normal people would say Thank you.
These guys are too cool for school for real
Manners and respect is not thought no more....i feel sorry for the future generation....
Is that the only thing you can recapitulate from the interview? The entire interview, the young man was nervous; when you are doing an impromptu interview, you do not always get a chance to correct your responses.
@@romainfoote6581thank you🙏🏽
How nervous can you be to not be polite..
Bet if dem did style him ; him head would a chip
Panda is so easy and very cool it’s a fitting name given to you real cool 😎
Narro getting that ptsd flashback when he heard sym
Unno couldn't give him a proper interview not a questionnaire about Teejay & Mac? More songs him produce enuh
Nobody cares tbh
said this before but at the end of the day this is all 3 of the man dem biggest project and if unno coulda do it without each other then every project unno drop woulda shot. Mac you nuh build no riddim nor voice no song, respect the man dem work, teejay you nuh find no hit song in a while respect mac work
This youth's thinking is so intelligent👏🏾wow ... I'm not easily impressed but this Youthie is special. This is the truth to everything .
Fam the man jus give MAC the upper hand … he said it was a partnership .. by him say that MAC is a co-owner.. him pay half of everything and him push… teejay jus use the Ute simple
@@jovialreid324that's what people been saying but because Teejay is the artist people believe him foolishness
@@jovialreid324 teejay never disagree with that, teejay said mac wanted full ownership behind the two ah dem back
@@jovialreid324 rightly , Mac got a stake in the Master not the Publishing which is fair .
@benja303
TJ is signed to a label, so there's no way that can be true. Think before u talk... How can Mac thief the song from Solid Agency? SMH...The artiste is signed, so even if Mac *"SAID"* it, it's still not possible.
Once the song has a sync deal If mac is apart of the masters he suppose to get paid from that
Publishing can be split with more people than what he said…
It split two ways then more can be added on each side for example multiple singers, writers, producers.
@@joli8166 which is right so both teejay and pand should have give Mac 15/15 % and mac would’ve have 30% and dem have 35/35. Are give Mac atleast 25%
@@NiccoOnGo well seeing that tj will profit off performance he could give him part of his publishing but panda shouldn't give up anything because that will be how he eat. Mac collecting on the masters should be good enough he really doesn't deserve any of the publishing because he had no creative input in the song.
DJ Mac would be considered an executive producer because he's a part of the production in terms of mixing (as Panda said, he and Mac paid off the engineer). So Panda and DJ Mac would be considered as the producers on the track. Teejay also because he's listed as a producer also. The music game tricky. But basically, what he's saying is he and Teejay are the ones included in the Warner deal because they have rights to publishing on the song. If they had a deal to share publishing then Mac would be entitled to the publishing too. So DJ Mac would be receiving money from streams on all Platforms and maybe any deal with the song that pays out production royalties. Hope that helps.

I love the look Ari 😍
From the way how da bwoy Dey Mac chat mi know him a liar! Wiked bwoy a try style the young youth
