Burt, I want to ask you the same question man. What can people expect from the docuseries?

CB: Yeah, well they can expect inspiration and encouragement and all kinds of things because we touching on different types of issues with this documentary here. You gotta understand. This a part of history for real. This is the first time anyone is making a three-part series like this. We making history and you're going be able to learn about a lot of founders in Miami as far as the first guys that started stuff like going on the road and stuff like that. A lot of these young guys who are record executives and movie producers now, they was inspired from that.

TL: Just piggyback on that. I told him we became entrepreneurs because gentlemen like yourself who was able to lay the foundation for us, to let us know that we can do it, and that's just the truth. That's real.

CB: And that's what we captured Ted. We captured some real scenery that's never been caught. It's real. And then we working next on all the businesses to get this TV series going. Me and Ted and the crew, we going to kick the doors in. And we going to start this TV series down here. People need to see that side of Miami that they ain't got a chance to see on TV. So it's coming.

Each episode is going to be focused on one particular legend, like Convertible Burt got his own episode. Big Ike got his own episode. So why do you guys feel that now is the time to tell these origin stories?

TL: I feel when Burke came home and, with such an impact he had on people's lives, I think it was important to allow him to tell his story and capitalize on it because a lot of music executives and a lot of gentlemen that came on, we came off the back of him laying the foundation. So I felt like Bert, if you don't get a chance to tell your story, we heard so much about you. You went away, you did your time, you ain't telling nobody, you did what you had to do. It's important that he get a chance to tell his story and the impact he made in Miami, but not only in Miami. You're going to hear the impact Convertible Burt made in Atlanta, Georgia. On the documentary, we got a gentleman said when Burt came to Atlanta he told them the style. The man ain't just put in work in the streets, but he had a style about himself that nobody else had. You would see Convertible Burt and you seen star power when he walked in the room. He had that star power back in the eighties when he made a difference. This kind of star power that he had that made Mike Tyson want to be around him and be affiliated with him. How are you going to do that without saying something? He can walk in the room, Mike Tyson say, 'Who is that guy right there? I want to meet him.' That's kind of impact Convertible Burt had on people. And It's important that we get the story out

CB: And that's the kind of impact we want to have on them moving forward, you know what I'm saying? Because we are not coming from a negative perspective. We're coming from a positive perspective, and you're able to learn and then you don't have to go through the things that I went through. You could look at this documentary man and be inspired, you know what I'm saying? To do great things and to do it the right way.

That's what's up man. So how easy was it to convince Trick Daddy, Trina and Rick Ross to be a part of this project?

TL: When I made that phone call to all of them, they knew what impact Burt, Bo and Bossman had on their life. So it was not hard at all because Trina was on 15th Avenue when Burt drove on 15th Avenue. She remembers seeing this. Trick know the impact he had in our community, man, and I ain't just saying this man, but when Burt came around, it was like that was our movie star. That was our superstar that came in and we got to get this word out and make sure that it ain't just stop right here. I really want people to see this in the TV series form so that they can understand the impact. This is just a little bit of piece of it, but once we put this thing in the TV series, we going to take you on the road that you would never even imagined. People are going to be like, 'Wow, now I understand Miami and the culture of Miami and what it's all about and the kind of impact that these gentlemen being able to make on more people like myself in our life over time.' So that was too easy.

Burt, we've heard your name, we've heard Big Ike, we've heard all these guys in numerous rap records over the years. Why do you feel like you've become such a memorable part of the culture? Why do you feel like your name continues to ring in the ears of so many rappers and artists?

CB: Because I was a trendsetter. I always been a trendsetter and I always dressed to the nines and stuff like that. So a lot of stuff came from being a trendsetter and I made a big contribution to the rap community because back in them days when a lot of rappers was coming out, they wanted to be like drug dealers. We had all the gold chain and stuff like that before they really started making a lot of money in the art. The drug dealers the ones that had the gold, the jewelry, the cars and stuff like that. So out of the many other kind of hustlers that came out of the street on a level that I came on, I was able to have an impact on hip hop culture. So that's what made me a lot different from a whole lot of guys: my style and my grace.

The first time I heard your name on wax was Rick Ross' 'Hustlin'." How did it feel to hear your name in a major record like that?

CB: In actuality, I was really incarcerated when he came out with that. I was incarcerated but it made me feel real good because —— shout out to Ross and I salute Ross because when I was down, he kept me alive. You heard me? And he got "MMG The World Is Ours." He got a few songs talking about me. So man, I salute Ross.
