So, MZ Cox, thank you for joining me.
00:00:56.859 --> 00:00:58.700
> MZ Cox>Thank you for having me. I appreciate you.
00:00:59.179 --> 00:01:02.219
> Curtis Jackson (also known as DJ Curveball)>Why don't you start off by telling everybody a little bit about yourself.
00:01:06.140 --> 00:01:12.560
> MZ Cox>So I am, Ms. Cox. I am, East Atlanta's finest is what I could call myself the modern day rock star.
00:01:12.799 --> 00:01:29.969
> MZ Cox>I'm an all around entertainer. I rap, I sing, I act, I model, I write music, I host events, events. I cook. I forgot I should start incorporating the fact that I cook. I do, I do that as well. So I do some of it. All in regards to the entertainment industry as a whole.
00:01:31.489 --> 00:01:35.969
> Curtis Jackson (also known as DJ Curveball)>Yeah. Well, talk to the listeners about how you got into the entertainment industry.
00:01:37.170 --> 00:01:50.859
> MZ Cox>So honestly, it kind of just happened. And I say that because I don't have a background in music like my mom, my dad. Nobody did M does music or did music. it was just me being a lover of music.
00:01:50.859 --> 00:02:02.900
> MZ Cox>They definitely exposed me to the different sounds as far as like country, pop, hip hop, R and B and stuff. Like just different types of music. But my parents can't sing, they don't rap, none of that.
00:02:02.900 --> 00:02:12.539
> MZ Cox>And then I think for me, I just married the two with me being a lover of music and storytelling.
00:02:12.780 --> 00:02:23.280
> MZ Cox>So. So in school, like, language arts is one of my favorite subjects. So it kind of like married the two with being able to tell a story and then also like put it on to put it onto a track and convey it through music.
00:02:25.599 --> 00:02:25.969
> Curtis Jackson (also known as DJ Curveball)>All, right.
00:02:26.050 --> 00:02:36.530
> Curtis Jackson (also known as DJ Curveball)>Well, like you said, you also do some acting and modeling. So let M the listeners know about the things that you've acted in and about that modeling career.
00:02:37.330 --> 00:03:27.370
> MZ Cox>So acting, my mother always was like, you need to be a triple threat. So. So she didn't really allow me to just only do music. She was like, I need you to do music. You need to act, you need to just do everything. So I already at that point was writing music and recording it. And from there she put me into acting classes. So I went to like the top of the top at that time, acting classes. And she put me in a few dance classes as well, because she was like, you just need to be multifaceted. I still don't feel like I'm, like, the dancer. I could pick up choreography, but I'm not like, the dancer type more. I like more so just a rap and engage type of thing. But that's what she did. And from there, I just kept it going. So since then, in 2023, I made my acting debut. And all of those movies can be found on Tubi, Amazon, and Peacock.
00:03:27.370 --> 00:03:48.379
> MZ Cox>The first one is called Hot Girls. The second one is called for the Gram, also featuring Michael Montana, Roscoe Dash, I believe that's it. And for the ground, the second one is Rackets that has Columbus Short in there. And also Roscoe Dash and Michael Montana. And the latest one is Make It Rain with Little Scrappy Sky Key in Bangladesh.
00:03:50.780 --> 00:03:57.979
> MZ Cox>And that's it, if I'm not mistaken. Well, as far as, like, the. The main. The main names, main cast.
00:03:59.789 --> 00:04:01.590
> Curtis Jackson (also known as DJ Curveball)>Oh, sound like you're doing it big.
00:04:01.990 --> 00:04:04.310
> MZ Cox>Yeah, Working. Honestly, just working.
00:04:04.789 --> 00:04:05.669
> Curtis Jackson (also known as DJ Curveball)>Absolutely.
00:04:05.750 --> 00:04:10.460
> Curtis Jackson (also known as DJ Curveball)>So you said you cook. So do you want to expand, on that?
00:04:11.340 --> 00:04:37.019
> MZ Cox>I think I just have a passion in music. I mean, in cooking outside of music. So when I'm not in the studio, not recording or doing anything like that, like, I love to cook. It's a form of escapism to me. So, like, my mom. Well, not even just my mom, she as a whole, my family, my friend, like, all of my close friends and loved ones, it's like, oh, we're going over yet? We're coming over your house to cook. So. No, they coming over my house because they want me to cook, or they'll have, like, their own special request, like, hey, can you cook this?
00:04:37.019 --> 00:04:45.699
> MZ Cox>This. This is this. It's Sunday dinner. Are you cooking? This is. This is this. So it kind of just happens in that facet, and I love it for sure.
00:04:46.259 --> 00:04:49.379
> Curtis Jackson (also known as DJ Curveball)>What's your favorite thing to cook, and when is the cooking show coming?
00:04:49.939 --> 00:05:16.689
> MZ Cox>Cooking show is on the way. you can check my highlights on my Instagram page to see some of the things that I cooked. But we are. I'm, finalizing some ideas with that to just to get it shot and start putting it out. I would say my favorite thing to cook this is like, anything stuffed. And I mean, like, stuffed shells, stuffed salmon, stuffed chicken, stuffed peppers. Just because it's like, it's levels to it and steps to it and not everybody can prepare it the right way.
00:05:17.889 --> 00:05:18.850
> Curtis Jackson (also known as DJ Curveball)>Absolutely.
00:05:19.329 --> 00:05:26.300
> Curtis Jackson (also known as DJ Curveball)>Well, tell us about, some of your Influences in the, in the entertainment industry. Who influences you to do what you do.
00:05:27.180 --> 00:05:39.779
> MZ Cox>So my number one inspiration in the music industry, I always say, is Missy Elliott. Just because personally I feel like she's an all around entertainer. She's not just a rapper, a singer, a producer. You're entertained from start to finish.
00:05:39.779 --> 00:05:44.180
> MZ Cox>When she steps foot on stage, on camera, anything that she does, you're entertained outside of her.
00:05:44.180 --> 00:06:02.350
> MZ Cox>People like Moni Love Eve, is an inspiration because she does music and acts. And that is very similar to, you know, my path in regards to the music industry. Outside of that, we're going male wise, Usher, Chris Brown, again, all people that are just amazing entertainers.
00:06:05.629 --> 00:06:13.579
> Curtis Jackson (also known as DJ Curveball)>So you also, talk about some of the, artists that you've had the opportunity to work with in the industry.
00:06:14.939 --> 00:06:41.000
> MZ Cox>So mainstream. The only artist that I've worked with thus far has been Lil Durk. And honestly, I feel like. Well, because I didn't really get to spend time with him, I would love to maybe come out and do some shows when he comes home or whatever, possibly because when we did the record, it was in the midst of the whole case and all of the stuff that was happening, so I didn't really get a chance to spend real time with him. The song came out great still.
00:06:43.319 --> 00:06:46.600
> Curtis Jackson (also known as DJ Curveball)>Absolutely. And what is the name of the song so the listeners can check it out?
00:06:46.949 --> 00:06:51.550
> MZ Cox>It's called Headboard and it's definitely a certified baby maker. So you play that when you.
00:06:51.550 --> 00:06:59.189
> MZ Cox>With your, your wife, your girlfriend, or, you know, whoever you're with, or vice versa, Your man, your boyfriend, your husband, whatever you got going on.
00:07:00.389 --> 00:07:03.910

00:07:04.629 --> 00:07:08.550

00:07:29.000 --> 00:07:48.661
> MZ Cox>we're finalizing the finishing touches on my EP, which is called 3P. So that will be coming out very, very soon. We're just waiting on the COVID art to come back for it. So I would say stay tuned and expect the unexpected with that. It's definitely a different layer of Ms. Cox. And each EP after that one will unravel or unveil different layers of me as a whole.
00:07:49.860 --> 00:07:54.100
> Curtis Jackson (also known as DJ Curveball)>Yeah. So tell us about. Go ahead. Because Go Go ahead, reach number one.
00:07:55.221 --> 00:08:30.670
> MZ Cox>Go ahead, diggo number one. I. I'm sorry, I be so, like, overly consumed with everything else that's going on to where I don't necessarily, like, it's hard for me to pay attention and then, like, hone in on what's going on. So go ahead, dig on number one. I'm super duper grateful and appreciative of that. And I just feel like it's just, it's levels to it, it's steps to it. Definitely. I necessarily can't really believe it, but I also know it's like this is just the beginning, like, number one. But now we're going to go number one on Billboard and Grammys and Emmys and all of the extra stuff. It's levels to it, for sure.
