Krista Renee Hazel
Calling all my sweeties to the forefront. I'm your host, Krista Renee Hazel and this is the Keep It Positive Sweetie Show. Sweeties. I am so excited about our guest today. I'm a fan of his music, his ministry and I cannot wait to get into this conversation. I please welcome husband, singer, three time Grammy Award winning artist, man of God, the one and only Ty Tribbett. You're here finally, right? I know we've been trying. How are you doing?
Ty Tribbett
Too good. I'm doing too Good. If that's an option.
Krista Renee Hazel
It is. I love that. I'm doing too good, too.
Unidentified Male Announcer
All right.
Ty Tribbett
Just embrace that, right?
Krista Renee Hazel
Absolutely. Because there's so much going on. We can find things to pick at. But why, why, why not today? Too good.
Ty Tribbett
Yeah.
Krista Renee Hazel
I love that. I love that. So happy you're here. I've been a huge fan since you first started. You are incredible. I got to see you live. It was, I want to say, Kirk Franklin and the Reunions, New Orleans. We were in New Orleans with Tyler, and I ran up on you on the side of the stage.
Ty Tribbett
I was like, what's up? Yes. But I saw you before that, I think, in la.
Krista Renee Hazel
Yes. NAACP award weekend.
Ty Tribbett
Yeah. Naacp.
Krista Renee Hazel
You and your wife in the elevator.
Ty Tribbett
The whole time you were waiting at the elevator. I think you was at the seat.
Krista Renee Hazel
Yeah.
Ty Tribbett
And I was like, babe, is that like, nah. Then you came up like, are you? And I'm like, are you? Are you? And we just did that whole game.
Krista Renee Hazel
So it was so cool.
Ty Tribbett
It was just cool that you were just. You was just a sweet person.
Krista Renee Hazel
You know what? I tell people that all the time. Sometimes you, like, look up to people and you just love them for their artistry. Then you meet them and you're like.
Ty Tribbett
Which I never met them. I just want to keep my perception. But I was delighted that that was not the case with you. Me and my wife were like, oh, good.
Krista Renee Hazel
Same, same. Yes. Your stage presence, it matches your presence in real life. Just energetic, bright. I absolutely love that about you. And I remember we left and Tyler was like, I've never seen Ty perform. He was like, my goodness. Like, he stood up the entire time you were on stage.
Ty Tribbett
I saw him in the back, like, oh, my God, he's standing.
Krista Renee Hazel
No, he.
Ty Tribbett
Don't sing to him. Sing to Jesus. But, hey, Ty, I love Tyler's mysterious.
Krista Renee Hazel
Yes. No, me too. Me too. Yes. You have been one of the pioneers in gospel for a long time, and you've blended music, all different types of genres. What gave you the boldness to step out, you know? Cause sometimes, like, you want to stay in that lane. But you were like, no, I'm going to do this and do it my way.
Ty Tribbett
I'm going to bust out this thing. I was a musician first, so I play all the time, and I think playing at my dad's church, small little church, but that small place gave me the huge freedom I needed. I didn't know I was crazy, wild or different until I was at other churches.
Krista Renee Hazel
Really?
Ty Tribbett
Yeah. Because they all know you at the church. It's the family church. And if you. Like you said, my energy matches on stage and off. So it wasn't nothing to them that I was extra energetic and playing the craziest stuff at church. So I always had that eclectic mixture, that jambalaya of styles and all that stuff. Now, growing up was very strict. I couldn't listen to circular music, none of that stuff.
Krista Renee Hazel
Okay? Not like Whitney and Stevie, nothing.
Ty Tribbett
He nothing when I say nothing. Like, yeah, my parents are very Pentecostal, holiness, apostolic notice, no earrings, no whatever. No.
Krista Renee Hazel
No life.
Ty Tribbett
So I had to sneak and listen to Joe Sample, Yellow jackets, Weather report, Jocko Pastures, jazz musicians. And that kind of opened me up to, like, whoa. Then I heard, like, James hall and worship and praise, and his music was kind of crazy. So I was like, I'm gonna bring all this craziness to what we do at church. So we were doing, like, the hymns, like, there's not a friend. And I would be like. I would put like.
Krista Renee Hazel
What'S your daddy in the puppet?
Ty Tribbett
Like, he was a little nervous because, you know, the elders of the church and stuff like that. But again, we was family and they was letting me express myself. So being able to come into the industry with the same freedom was a challenge because now it's like, hold on, are you traditional? And I'm like, you know, I'm a little bit of everything. Y' all gonna have to figure out. Jesus, y' all gotta figure it out. This is Kingdom music, You know what I'm saying?
Krista Renee Hazel
So absolutely.
Ty Tribbett
That's where that came from.
Krista Renee Hazel
So what are some of the face challenges that you face in the industry in trying to navigate? That's this question.
Ty Tribbett
This the second question. That's loaded. That is loaded. What are some of the challenges I face in the industry?
Krista Renee Hazel
Well, because you talk about how, like, what you doing?
Ty Tribbett
Like, let's talk about musically, then.
Krista Renee Hazel
Yeah, yeah, yeah, musically. And then we'll get there.
Unidentified Male Announcer
Yes. I love it.
Ty Tribbett
The placement.
Krista Renee Hazel
Yeah.
Ty Tribbett
Where does your style go?
Krista Renee Hazel
Yeah.
Ty Tribbett
And I didn't have an answer for that. I just had what I enjoyed. I had what meant, so I had my expression. I know what. This is how I connect to God. This is how I want to encourage people. But the rigid. The rigid. Is it country? Is it. What is it? All of that stuff. And when I say challenges, it's not just questions. It's the changes they try to make to make you. You know, if you do this, we can put you in the hip hop side. If you do that. I'm like, yo, it is what it is. So we. We had a long time getting off our feet. We. I didn't come up in Streamville and social media, so, you know, if I had a concert, I was handing out flyers, like, the big ditto sheets, like the colors. So I came. I'm about to age myself for real right now. Chill, chill, chill, chill, chill, chill, chill. Don't do that. So that was a challenge for me, trying to just industrialize myself to be understood by masses and just not my church circle. So it took some tailoring, you know what I mean? So I can be understood by people and then I can get crazy. So, yeah. You know what I mean? So the first album was called Life Album. That's kind of like. I call that the producer's album. My producer on that was James Poyser, who's from the Roots crew. And it was real. How can I say it? Tame and real. You know, detail just have the elements. And I'm like, this is not how I am on stage. You know what I'm saying? But the studio, it was just really. Okay, cool, right? But when we got on stage to perform the studio stuff, it was like, is it the same song? So I feel like it's kind of like the Trojan horse approach. Trojan horse approach. You know, they'll let you in the gates because of the presentation, but once you're in there, you open up and give them everything you got.
Krista Renee Hazel
Yes.
Ty Tribbett
So that's what I did.
Krista Renee Hazel
Exactly. I love that. From the Prince of Egypt. Crazy. I love that soundtrack to We Gonna Be All Right. What have you done over these decades to, like, maintain the timelessness of your music? Because I can go back and listen to that to now, and it's like, it's still.
Ty Tribbett
But I got what you said.
Krista Renee Hazel
You know what I'm saying?
Ty Tribbett
No, I was just saying. Yeah. We won a. A gospel music competition. Choir competition. And then the producers from the movie came to put us on the album. And I was just like, whoa.
Krista Renee Hazel
Yeah.
Ty Tribbett
I think just staying authentic and being really who you are. People, People who have followed my music have grown with me, the person. I don't have writers. I don't have producers like that. I have people that help produce stuff like that. But for the most part, you're getting my thoughts, my. Where I am in life. And I think people just feel me. I think they feel me and my expression. I think when we start to strategize around what worked. Oh, you did victory. You need another victory. You gotta do another Go Go joint. I ain't never do another Go Go joint. I said, nope, I'm gonna leave that thing alone. You know what I mean? I ain't gonna read everything. You need another everything. No, I don't. That everything is everything. So once you try to, like, make it a formula, I think you. You dilute the authenticity and the power of what you do. Because now I'm serving a system and not the savior, you know what I mean? And I don't want to do that. I took that role and served the system. It's not really authentic to me, but it's Saul's armor. You understand what I'm saying? Okay, I'll try it y' all way. I probably can win a little bit, but I know what I need to win, right? And I gotta stay authentic to that. And that's when giants come down, when I stay tied. Whether people understand it or not, get it or not, like it or not, I'm just gonna be true to me and whoever's called to hear what I do. Pull up a chair. We gonna have a good time tonight.
Krista Renee Hazel
Absolutely. You will? Yes. What is your creative process? Like you said, you don't really have writers. No, you produce everything yourself.
Ty Tribbett
Produce for the most part with me. I got a team now. My man Joe Bethea. Shout out to Joe Bethe. Between he and myself, we produce everything. My creative process is life. I don't know. It's very hard for me to. Songs hit me, like, I guess, like I say how a dog has puppies. I don't know why I say that. But I get like, five at a time, and then I'm done for five months. I'm not, like, a writer.
Krista Renee Hazel
Yeah.
Ty Tribbett
You know what I mean? Like, oh, Kirk, need a song. Yolanda, need a song. I don't consider myself a writer, but I get waves of like, whoa, he's speaking. You know what I mean? Like, okay, I gotta say. So I get waves of, like, six songs at a time. And then I just, you know, just go to my piano and just feel it. Or I go and just play. And if I like the vibe. Oh, they'll dance to this. Yeah. What's a good song that they can have joy to? You know what I mean? If I'm feeling it, it's like that. I could watch a movie. I could hear a commercial. I'm creative. You know how it is. It can be anything. My wife, y'.
Krista Renee Hazel
All.
Ty Tribbett
Okay. I have a new song on my new album. It's called the Hills. Remember this when it comes out, okay? It's called the Hills. This song came my wife and I have this bed, this. Whatever, the bed. You know, it sits up and do all that stuff. But the vibration thing on the bottom, right? So the thing was, like, making a. That's the sound the vibration was making under the bed. And my wife. I'm sorry, babe. She started snoring, right?
Krista Renee Hazel
Put it asleep.
Ty Tribbett
The snow was like. She was like. And I was like, I hear the. I was like, oh, my. So I woke up at three in the morning. Like, let me get dressed and go to the studio and just do. And as I'm walking to the studio, I hear, hold your head up. And I'm like, oh, my gosh. So all these. The lyrics started coming almost, like, every step to my little studio in my house. It seemed like the lyrics came every step. So I'm gonna give her half credit on that song. Cause she snored it into existence. But even a snore can inspire it. So I can't really give you an answer on what that could be. Whenever it hit, I just try to let it happen and let it happen.
Krista Renee Hazel
That is fascinating.
Ty Tribbett
You know what I mean?
Krista Renee Hazel
Oh, my goodness.
Ty Tribbett
That's crazy, right?
Krista Renee Hazel
That is crazy.
Ty Tribbett
People gonna be snoring now. Like, baby, you better do a hit after this snore. Yes, right.
Krista Renee Hazel
Speaking of then, of, like, just being in certain moments of time. Where were you when? Same God right now. When he did. Before it came out. When you wrote that. When it came to you.
Ty Tribbett
We have another song on the Victory album called no Other Choice. I have no other choice but to trust you. At the end of that song, the band is just jamming. When we used to do that song live, I have no other choice but to trust you. I'd be like, if he did it before, he can do it again. All I had was saying, guy, right now. That's all I had was the hook for years. Then I said, I want to make that a song. Let me just put verses on it. So it kind of happened at a show and then kind of. Oh, only one night, though. It kind of happened in the moment. Just let it happen and then later put verses to it. I never knew people would love it like that. I know. It hit me. I know I felt it.
Krista Renee Hazel
Yes.
Ty Tribbett
And I'm glad, you know. Other people feel the same way. It's amazing how it happens. A lot of stuff happens on stage, in the moment. On stage, I can feel the people. I know exactly where the band is. I feel like James Brown. I know everything. I hear the high hats. I know everything. The background singers. It's like I'm in this, you know, that's my favorite space to create. Yeah.
Krista Renee Hazel
I can't imagine what it's like being in your body as a musician and then hearing everything and you're probably like overstimulated a little bit.
Ty Tribbett
There's a song out now that I have on the Only on the Road album that just put out an album, y'. All. It's called Tide Only on the Road. It's really stuff you'll hear only when I'm on the road. Like those flow moments and spontaneous moments. Yes. There's a moment, it's a worship track on there called the Yahweh Flow. And we're singing Yahweh, we're singing Yeshua. And I'm hearing all these songs while we're singing Yeshua. So I just did them. And if you hear the song, you just hear all these songs in Yeshu to worship you. I live let all the other names fade away. You hear all of this in one. So if y' all get a chance, check out the Yahweh Flow on the Only on the Road cd and you'll get a little taste of the craziness of how my thoughts are. It's amazing though. You know what I mean? You just allow it to happen.
Krista Renee Hazel
Fascinating. I love it.
Ty Tribbett
Thank you. Thank you. It's amazing.
Krista Renee Hazel
You are welcome. You're also a three time Grammy award winning artist. That is the pinnacle for an artist. I know we're serving Jesus, but what did that moment feel like?
Ty Tribbett
Thank you.
Krista Renee Hazel
When you got your. You know, because some people like forget, like. No, like we're doing these things and it is. We do want to be recognizing to that level as well. What does that feel like?
Ty Tribbett
The day I got the two Grammys came on the same day.
Krista Renee Hazel
Wow.
Ty Tribbett
For greater than one for same God and one for greater than the album. It was January 26th on my birthday. I got my first two Grammys.
Krista Renee Hazel
On your birthday? Yes. God is in the details.
Ty Tribbett
Do you understand? I was like. It was too much stimulation. Too much. We got my wife and I got back to the hotel room that night and I'm holding the gram. I got the Grammys. Like, the nomination was amazing. It was like my sixth nomination. But I was just happy to be nominated again. To win two was like crazy. So I sat there with my wife like, and I. This is. I ain't trying to be nothing but Ty right now. I realized in that moment that I ignored so much to achieve this. So I'm looking at my wife like, and she's happy for me. She's like, yeah, she gonna ride. But I was like, I missed so many. I guess not realize how much I missed so much. But I realized how empty.
Krista Renee Hazel
Wow.
Ty Tribbett
That is.
Krista Renee Hazel
Yeah.
Ty Tribbett
I'm grateful for the Grammys. Don't get me hoping, I hope this I'll get another Grammy. Yeah. Because it means something to who it means something to. You know, I open the Grammy, it's not a check in the Grammy. It wasn't any opportunities that came out the Grammy. It wasn't even no confetti in it. It's just a piece of metal that probably cost $13 to make. So I don't disrespect it, I don't dishonor it, but it means something to who? It means something too. And it helps me get access and more platforms to scream Jesus even louder.
Krista Renee Hazel
Yes.
Ty Tribbett
So now that I have them, I realize I put too much energy towards achieving them. Personally, I could have paid attention to a lot more things along the journey instead of just the destination.
Krista Renee Hazel
Yes. Yes.
Ty Tribbett
So I'm grateful for. It's amazing opportunities that come in this world through that. So I'm taking full advantage of it again. I want more Grammys for that though. You know what I'm saying? Now I'm sober about it. Now I'm level headed about it. Now I'm a little more balanced about it. It's not so much I need the next. It's not my life support. It ain't my iv, it ain't my source. It's a resource to raise people's eyebrows because that means something to you. Know what I mean? And no shade, if it does raise your eyebrows, I'm, you know.
Justin Richmond
Yeah.
Ty Tribbett
Nobody feel about it. Yeah, I didn't even want to go. If you ask Kev, the last Grammy I won. Oh my gosh, this story is crazy. So you know they got Grammy parties all week. So starting Wednesday. Ty, you want to go to Wednesday? I was like nine, I'm home. Thursday? No. Friday? No. Saturday? No. They're like, ty, Sunday is the Grammys. Like, are you going to come? So Friday night I'm sitting in, I'm with my wife. Like, yo, man, I don't even know if. Yeah, I was up against, I mean, some people who I who usually take it home.
Krista Renee Hazel
Yeah, Take everything home.
Ty Tribbett
Yeah, I know how it goes. Let them have it. I ain't gonna waste my time. But my wife would just go, yeah, show your face. Let them know you're not dead. Because sometimes if you don't go places, they think you did.
Krista Renee Hazel
I'm here.
Ty Tribbett
Let me. Let them know I'm alive.
Krista Renee Hazel
Yeah.
Ty Tribbett
So I just really got. Just do something in a bag Friday night, like, all right, I'm gonna go. I got on the latest flight Friday night, got there Saturday, did the festivities. And then Sunday they announced my name. I got it on video on my phone. I should have posted. I was like, let me record this. I was like.
Krista Renee Hazel
And that's why you got it, though, because of your heart, posture, you know, you weren't coveting it.
Ty Tribbett
No.
Krista Renee Hazel
It wasn't like, I gotta have this.
Ty Tribbett
Yeah. Between achievements and disappointments, it took the steam out of the COVID Yes.
Krista Renee Hazel
Yeah.
Ty Tribbett
You know what I mean? I'm not even gonna say it was God. I ain't gonna lie and say God. Between achieving it and not getting it, it kind of like, all right, this can't be what this is about now because my. My emotions and my feelings is too up and down. And I don't like anything having that much control over that.
Krista Renee Hazel
So, no, for sure, I'm good.
Ty Tribbett
Yeah. I don't.
Krista Renee Hazel
But yeah.

Lexus is a company that believes in the importance of setting a standard which I can appreciate as someone who holds themselves to lofty, if not ridiculous standards, especially with the car I drive. The standard Lexus has set for themselves is to experience amazing. Lexus measures success by the feeling and emotions evoked in a driver, like exhilaration and joy. Amazing can only be achieved by knowing people on a deeper level. The standard of amazing results in a feeling in drivers that their car was built in anticipation of them. Machines that make you feel more human because a car that doesn't make you feel something is a car that stops short of amazing experience. Amazing at your Lexus dealer.

Krista Renee Hazel
Time offer There's a saying that with great success comes sacrifice. And you said that when you got back to the hotel room and you had both of those Grammys in your hands, you looked at your wife and thought about everything that you had missed out on. What are some of those things that you missed out on that you look back and that you've corrected now that you had that moment to be like, wait a minute, I can't keep doing this.
Ty Tribbett
Yeah. I say now is more of a balance thing. However, I felt like I, I missed a lot of my family. I missed a lot of the development. I mean, I know this sounds typical, but we get in that zone and it's just like it's a creative thing. Yes. And I, I, I felt like I was present. I felt like I was there, but they knew how to adjust to me yeah, they love me. They gonna rock with me. They gonna. We good. We good. You good?
Krista Renee Hazel
Yeah.
Ty Tribbett
So I thank God for my wife Shantae. Shout out to you, baby, I love you so much. My kids are emotionally healthy, mentally healthy, spiritually healthily healthy, largely because of her presence.
Krista Renee Hazel
Yes.
Ty Tribbett
Presence there. So I missed a lot of. I felt like I missed a lot of those moments because. Okay, all right, all right. Like, if you good, you good, you're good, right? But sometimes, dad, you know what I mean? I don't like that that happened. And I didn't sit for that. A lot of times. I was like, okay, I know you ain't like it, but can I. Yeah. Are you all right, though? You, you know, just slowing down, being present. And it hadn't really. It's not really the career. My personality is, as you can see, I'm just a ball of energy. It's just. I had to learn. I cut my face on the. The reunion tour. When I was on the tour, I had a accident at the house in my closet, literally jumping up to get a. A pair of shoes and came down, like, on one of the extensions in my closet. Sliced my whole face open. I mean, I can. To the white meat.
Krista Renee Hazel
Oh, my goodness.
Ty Tribbett
My wife took me to the hospital. I was like, I'm gonna have to cancel the rest of the tour. They stitched me up, praise God, put a mask on. And. But in that. I was saying in that, I heard God say, yo, slow down.
Krista Renee Hazel
Slow down. Yeah. It's like, you had to tell me.
Ty Tribbett
Like that in other ways. Like, I understand English. You could have wrote it somewhere.
Krista Renee Hazel
Had to slice my face open. He was really trying to get your attention.
Ty Tribbett
Get my attention? You're not mindful of a lot of things. You understand what I'm saying? I'm not that. I'm like. I'm the type that'll jump off the stage. Like, how high is it?
Krista Renee Hazel
You know what I mean, as you're going down?
Ty Tribbett
And my wife was like, let me see. First. She's more calculated, stuff like that. So I need a little bit more of that, you know what I mean, in my life. So I won't miss the simple, beautiful things, because those are the major beautiful things. Because when I went after what I thought was the. All of that stuff, it's so empty.
Krista Renee Hazel
Isn't it crazy how you can get there? The thing that you dreamed of since.
Ty Tribbett
You were a kid?
Krista Renee Hazel
And it's like you finally get there, and it's like, this ain't even what it is.
Ty Tribbett
I thought it was the gratitude is there. All of that is there. Yeah. But the fulfillment is not. God is like, I'm just reserving that. Yeah. I try every step of the way. I was telling you.
Krista Renee Hazel
Yeah.
Ty Tribbett
So he's like, it's in me. It's in him. So once I learned that, I was like, oh, okay. So I'm not at anyone else's. His disposal or pace, but his. You know what I mean? It's a liberating thing.
Krista Renee Hazel
And I can see that now that, you know, a lot of times you can see things kind of wearing away at people when they're focused on the wrong thing. And I can tell the joy that you carry is because you're not focused on the wrong thing.
Ty Tribbett
Oh, I'm trying not to. Trying not to. Life is life and everything is everything.
Krista Renee Hazel
But do it ever stop? It don't stop.
Ty Tribbett
Life in it does not stop. So we have to find a. Of a peace space. We got to find. The Bible says the name of the Lord is a strong tower. The righteous run up to it and they are safe.
Krista Renee Hazel
Yes.
Ty Tribbett
So we have a safe place we can go no matter how much life is life. And we just got to trust it and be good with it.
Krista Renee Hazel
Yeah.
Ty Tribbett
Because I think a lot of times God offers us remedies for life's hardships. We just don't like it.
Krista Renee Hazel
Right.
Ty Tribbett
I don't want to eat healthy to be healthy.
Krista Renee Hazel
Right.
Ty Tribbett
I want to eat chicken and be healthy. I'm a pray fried chicken.
Krista Renee Hazel
Yeah.
Ty Tribbett
So the remedies, a lot of times you gotta. That's why you have to become a new creature. I feel like everything has a pace and you just choose what. What pace you want to be on. You can be on industry pace, which is hurry up and wait. You can be on God's pace, which is whenever I say you move or whenever I don't, you don't. It's the fire in the cloud, you know, you don't move until he. Yeah, that's God's pace. Or you can move on your pace. Whatever I want to do.
Krista Renee Hazel
Yeah.
Ty Tribbett
I'm trying to get on that fire in the cloud as much as possible because then all the problems are handled in his pace. I'm thinking about how Jesus conversed with people. And even when Peter. When Peter. The boat was filled and Peter was like, whoa, they both was sinking.
Krista Renee Hazel
All the fish.
Ty Tribbett
Yeah, all the fish. And he said, get, Jesus, get away from me. I'm a sinful man. And Jesus said, man, come follow me. I'll make you fish as a Man, most people that talk to Jesus, he said, follow me. Follow me. It wasn't change that. Fix that. Peter said, I'm a sinful man. And he didn't pray a prayer of deliverance for him. Follow me. Each step, each step, the fire and the cloud heals. The fire in the cloud corrects the fire and the cloud sanctifies at his pace. You understand? The ten lepers, the Bible says, as they went, they were cleansed. So each step was another level of cleansing and healing. And I think I want to get at that, that pace right there because I've ran to the. I marched to the beat of industry drums. And I don't like it. I don't like it. I could be in it, but not of it. So you understand what I'm saying? I know.
Krista Renee Hazel
You know, you know.
Unidentified Male Announcer
I know.
Ty Tribbett
Because how do you deal. How do you deal with that? Because everything, it's the same thing. It's fast paced. But you want to have clarity in your mind. You want to have sobriety in your thoughts. You want to have solidity and your decisions.
Unidentified Male Announcer
Yeah.
Ty Tribbett
How do you do that? I mean, you got to have a regimen.
Krista Renee Hazel
Yeah. Every morning in the Word studying, you know, last year I went through the Bible, but I didn't really understand it. You know what I'm saying? I just read it and now I'm going back through to really understand so that I can. When people ask me. So I'm not. I was telling Candy the other week, I was like, I'm not a Bible quoter, but like I can remember something that was. And then I can look, here's the scripture. You know what's in there and you can tell me something like, that ain't. I don't think he said that. Let me double check. Because you know what I'm saying, I have enough now.
Ty Tribbett
Like to know what he said now.
Krista Renee Hazel
I'm not a pastor.
Ty Tribbett
I'm like, no, but I love that. You know, I love that. Because if you know the truth, you can recognize the lies.
Krista Renee Hazel
Exactly. That's a lot of our problems. We don't. We hear things. And that's what I love about Dr. Daniels. Daniel, me too.
Ty Tribbett
Shout out to Dr. Daniels. I love you, brother.
Krista Renee Hazel
Yes. He'd be like, listen, don't take my word for it. Read it for yourself so that you know. Cause he started quoting stuff and we were finished. He said, that ain't what it said. We were like. He said, you've been taught wrong all your life and you just over here repeating stuff and ain't went to learn it for yourself. I was like, oh, that's embarrassing.
Ty Tribbett
You shouting out the wrong thing just right.
Krista Renee Hazel
I mean, loud and wrong. Just so loud and wrong. I was like, oh, my God.
Ty Tribbett
But I think that is probably the most important thing right now. The sword of the spirit, the word. Because I feel like we're in a age of deception, you know what I mean?
Krista Renee Hazel
Especially with AI and Internet social media. We're just talking about social media.
Ty Tribbett
You can't even believe what you see.
Krista Renee Hazel
No.
Ty Tribbett
Now you know what I mean? So you have to know. You got to know the truth. You got to know him. That's going to be your only anchor, your only foundation. Yeah. Otherwise you're going to be going with the wind. And the way these winds is blowing, listen, I wouldn't trust that.
Krista Renee Hazel
Yeah, that's real.
Ty Tribbett
I'll be anchored.
Krista Renee Hazel
Yes. And that's where I want to be. Like, that's where I am right now.
Ty Tribbett
My wall.
Krista Renee Hazel
Just anchored and like that. Trusting him and just wanting to live more like Christ.
Ty Tribbett
I love that.
Krista Renee Hazel
You know, they're like. Because we're in the industry, but we're not of the industry.
Ty Tribbett
Yeah, I understand.
Krista Renee Hazel
God put us here for sure. To, like, be a light, be his light. To, like, let him shine.
Ty Tribbett
And so how people don't always understand that because, you know, light shines in darkness. So if we're in, I want to say, dark places or maybe some will not understand the industry you're in.
Krista Renee Hazel
Yeah.
Ty Tribbett
If you do that and like, you know what I mean? They don't understand assignments.
Krista Renee Hazel
Yeah.
Ty Tribbett
You know what I mean? They don't understand callings, they don't understand giftings, and they don't understand personal purpose.
Krista Renee Hazel
Yeah.
Ty Tribbett
Every person has the. As sure as you got your own fingerprint, you have a unique, you know what I mean, Thing you got to do for God. It might look different and stuff like that. I just want us to, like, chill on each other a little bit.
Krista Renee Hazel
Yeah, man.
Ty Tribbett
Let God be God. Only God is God. Let him handle that. You know what I mean?
Krista Renee Hazel
We gotta stop. Yes.
Ty Tribbett
You understand what I'm saying?
Krista Renee Hazel
That's why I feel like I was talking to a friend. I feel like so many people walk away from the Christian faith because of the. Yeah. Because of the judgment and the ridicule instead of accountability and saying, hey, sis, let me pull you aside. I've been where you are because what I think happens, we get saved and we forget who we used to be. Let me bring this mic up.
Ty Tribbett
You are preaching. You are preaching.
Krista Renee Hazel
We forget and I'm like, how do you forget? Like, remember where you were? We were not all sanctified and saved and filled with the Holy Ghost our whole entire lives. And even when you are, you still slip.
Ty Tribbett
I'm about to say they still not. I love all the mothers, all the ushers. I love all y', all, but we both.
Unidentified Male Announcer
Come on, y'.
Krista Renee Hazel
All.
Ty Tribbett
Did you grow up in church or no?
Krista Renee Hazel
I did. Oh, yeah. Listen, every time the doors of the church open, we was in there, so.
Ty Tribbett
You know what I'm talking about. Like, just chill. We all are on a journey. We all need the grace of God. And I think, you know, once we really are honest about that, we can get a real connection with the people who come to the church or who want to come to the church.
Krista Renee Hazel
You know what I mean?
Ty Tribbett
I don't think the church is like, let's change the subject.
Krista Renee Hazel
No, don't see that. You better say what you was gonna say. I think the church is what?
Ty Tribbett
Yeah.
Krista Renee Hazel
Now you're trying to figure out.
Ty Tribbett
Yeah, now I'm trying to figure it out. But I, I. I want us to lead people to Christ and God.
Krista Renee Hazel
Yeah.
Ty Tribbett
The motives of a lot of churches are their. The church.
Krista Renee Hazel
Yeah.
Ty Tribbett
And I love.
Unidentified Male Announcer
We need that.
Ty Tribbett
But if the heart is to point them to Christ, I think, will our vocabulary be a little bit different? I get up on Sundays at Liv Shout Out Live Church, Orlando. If you're ever in Orlando, come check us out. You already know. Okay. I don't know. I'm. I'll get up and be like, you know, you don't have to come here to have a connection with God. Right. You know, you don't have to be. We. I don't know how many pastors do that, and I'm not encouraging everybody to do that, but it's that. It's. It's disarming them. Like, oh, he ain't. He ain't trying to. There's no manipulation there. There's nothing like that. It's disarming, and it's let, you know, like, listen, I'm here for you. I love you. I want to connect you to Christ. You don't have to come to this building and get God. You don't have to. You know what? I do all of that stuff.
Krista Renee Hazel
Yeah.
Ty Tribbett
But this gathering, this place is for fellowship, right? For encouragement and to hear the word of the Lord. But you can hear the word of the Lord. You probably heard on the way here. You know what I mean? A lot of stuff might be confirmation to what you already heard. I lean into people's personal relationship. I lean into, like, not like. And next Sunday we going to continue. And there's nothing wrong with that, but I don't want to draw people to me or the church because I'm not going to be there when the next pandemic hit.
Krista Renee Hazel
Yo, come on.
Ty Tribbett
I ain't gonna be at. People live at home, they don't live at the church. So you need to get. You don't live at your job, you don't live at your business. You don't live outside. You live at home. If I need God anywhere, he needs to be there.
Krista Renee Hazel
Yeah.
Ty Tribbett
Yeah. So that's what I try to. To push. That's where we live. That's where we need the most everything. So I don't know if a lot of churches, you know, do that. Churches are business. They are all of those things.
Krista Renee Hazel
Yeah.
Ty Tribbett
And when we focus more on getting more. Getting more to our thing, that's when it goes.
Krista Renee Hazel
Yeah.
Ty Tribbett
And I love the. I love everything. I love my church shirts and all. I love all of that stuff. I personally wouldn't do that. I love the God of my church.
Krista Renee Hazel
Yeah.
Ty Tribbett
You know what I mean? I love the God of my church more than I love the church of God.
Krista Renee Hazel
Yeah.
Ty Tribbett
Wow.
Krista Renee Hazel
That is.
Ty Tribbett
That's just tired.
Krista Renee Hazel
Yeah.
Ty Tribbett
That's just time. And I don't know if a lot of people are ready for that conversation, because to a lot of people, it's synonymous. To a lot of people, God in the church is the same.
Krista Renee Hazel
Come on.
Ty Tribbett
Only God is God.
Krista Renee Hazel
Yes.
Ty Tribbett
The church is supposed to be his body, the real church. But that's a whole other kind of two parts. Part two. We'll come back to part two for that. But it's real.
Krista Renee Hazel
Yeah.
Ty Tribbett
And that. That separation.
Krista Renee Hazel
Yeah. Differentiation is necessary. Yeah, it is. It's very necessary.
Ty Tribbett
I grew up with people who had. They, they, they, they. They broke their knee.
Krista Renee Hazel
Ooh.
Ty Tribbett
You gotta come to healing service Friday night. I can't wait till Friday. Girl, I'm gonna bring you Friday. You gonna get healed. It's Tuesday, right?
Krista Renee Hazel
I need help now.
Ty Tribbett
I gotta wear this bandage till Friday. Like, so. The dependency on the church should not be. It should. Oh, God.
Krista Renee Hazel
Jesus, that's so good. Ty. Come on.
Ty Tribbett
Now you're chilling. Church is Sunday. Not today.
Krista Renee Hazel
Every day.
Ty Tribbett
Every day. We should tag team preach. We already dressed like you know what I'm saying? Okay, go ahead.
Krista Renee Hazel
For real. My friend is Brenda Palmer, and she always tells. She's like, crystal, you're a pastor. I'm like, no, I'm not. And she was like, stop fighting. And she said, hey, you a prophet? I said, brenda, now I do be prophesying.
Ty Tribbett
Now I do do that, but don't do the pastor thing.
Krista Renee Hazel
I'm not about to be pastor now.
Ty Tribbett
Do you not think that because of. Of the structure of what pastor looks like?
Krista Renee Hazel
Yeah. Just even, like, knowing the Bible, I feel like when I see people who can quote the Bible backwards and forwards, I'm like, that's. I feel like that's what a pastor should be able to do so that anytime they're leading someone, they can. Like, I have scripture to back this up.
Ty Tribbett
I love that.
Krista Renee Hazel
You know what I'm saying? To really. He's a steward of it. Yeah.
Ty Tribbett
I mean, people disqualify themselves because of what they think. But again, as you go, if God says come.
Krista Renee Hazel
Yeah. If he says that. Yeah.
Ty Tribbett
Every step, you'll get more and more scriptures.
Krista Renee Hazel
Yeah, that's true. That's true. I think now I'm even like. Because at first I was just like, I'm not a Bible quoter. Like, I'm just trying to live like Jesus and know the words so that I can live more, like. Because I do feel like sometimes people can know the Bible backwards and forwards but are not a reflection of Christ. I don't want to be that person.
Ty Tribbett
Amen.
Krista Renee Hazel
You know what I'm saying?
Ty Tribbett
Thank you for that.
Krista Renee Hazel
Yes.
Ty Tribbett
Thank you for.
Krista Renee Hazel
That's what that's called. Right, Exactly.
Ty Tribbett
Thank you.
Krista Renee Hazel
I do not want to be that. So I'm definitely open to whatever God has for me. But when it comes to assignment and even working in the industry and people may be like, but I look at everywhere I go. I don't. It doesn't care if I'm at a Christian conference or a basketball game or in the mall shopping. They know Fatima. But when they learn about Crystal, it's always, you brought me closer to Christ because I'm going to church. Because you have found a church home. And it was in those conversations I realized, aha. That's the assignment.
Ty Tribbett
That's the assignment right there.
Krista Renee Hazel
Yes. It's the true character, not Fatima, right?
Ty Tribbett
Yeah. Right. You're already doing it. And I hate when people's gifts. Oh, why do you have me on the mic on this show? I. I don't like. I don't. Okay, I'm gonna talk like Ty. I hate when people's gifts are only activated during service times. If you a prophet, how come it only work when you got the mic and the service? What happened at Walmart and Target? Like, why do you need an audience for your gift to work.
Krista Renee Hazel
Come on.
Ty Tribbett
It might not be what you're. It might not be authentic. So I don't, I don't trust all that stuff. If you're a preacher, I should be having conferen conversation with you. I'm like, whoa. Did not our hearts burn with it.
Krista Renee Hazel
Yeah.
Ty Tribbett
You understand what I'm saying? So I don't like the church activated gifts. I don't trust.
Krista Renee Hazel
Come on.
Ty Tribbett
I don't trust. I sing at home, I play at home, I prophesy, preach, whatever. We doing it right now. Yeah. Fellowship, worshiping God. I do it everywhere. I'm at, in the car. It don't even matter. Yeah. Because that's who I really am. If it turns on at a certain time.
Krista Renee Hazel
Yes.
Ty Tribbett
I don't know if it's who you are. It's what you can do. But I don't know just who you are.
Krista Renee Hazel
Okay, now I'm done.
Ty Tribbett
Turn the cameras off. Thank y' all for having me. This is.
Krista Renee Hazel
Keep it positive until next time.
Ty Tribbett
You can do it. But is it who you are? Right.
Krista Renee Hazel
No. I love. This is a conversation that needs to be had. I love that we can have a real raw conversation.
Ty Tribbett
Let's do it.
Krista Renee Hazel
Yeah. Yeah. Because it's so true.
Ty Tribbett
Yeah.
Krista Renee Hazel
And we are. We're trying to win souls for Christ in a time where people are hungry, they're seeking guidance because they feel the. They feel lost. And you can see it. Cause you see how, like I just saw somewhere where the. The sales of the Bible has skyrocketed.
Ty Tribbett
Really?
Krista Renee Hazel
Yes. Because people, they. They need some type of foundation, you.
Ty Tribbett
Know, Life is life. Every time I say that, you get a quickening. Like life is like, okay. But they know. And that's a good thing, though. That means at least they know where to turn to.
Krista Renee Hazel
You know what I mean?
Ty Tribbett
At least.
Krista Renee Hazel
And that's.
Ty Tribbett
That's all.
Krista Renee Hazel
It's hope. Yeah. It makes me happy when I hear things like that.
Ty Tribbett
Me too.
Krista Renee Hazel
But you talked about the next pandemic. I'm not going to be in church going. I'm going to be at home. And it was during the pandemic when you wrote Anyhow.
Ty Tribbett
Friend of mine gave me a track. I was sitting with it for months when the pandemic hit. We grew up old. We grew up church. So hallelujah. Anyhow, it's like an old saying. Grant minds to be an old song. And that's kind of what I want. What I wanted to say in that moment, I just felt in a, in accessory type song. Like, I felt the people, I felt the world. And the track is just. It's just so and so. I wanted to start with. I always like Kingdom perspectives. I. I don't want to give too much of mine or the worlds. So know. I know the plans that you have for me. Jeremiah 29, man, we just talked about finding the scriptures.
Krista Renee Hazel
Plans for me to prosper, not to not harm me. See, I. I know a little bit.
Ty Tribbett
Yes.
Krista Renee Hazel
I'm in the book. Okay.
Ty Tribbett
You in the book. So that somewhere between Genesis and Revelations.
Krista Renee Hazel
Revelations. Not Revelation. Revelation. Because he gave a lot of them in that book.
Ty Tribbett
Oh, God, this is great. So we're not gonna get nothing done, y', all, so just go ahead and enjoy this. My mindset at the time is the world is shut down. People are. Don't know what to do. The churches are closed. We don't know what to do.
Krista Renee Hazel
Yeah.
Ty Tribbett
Well, how. How should we be thinking?
Unidentified Male Announcer
How.
Ty Tribbett
What can I serve the people that'll help their psyche? Yeah. To help what they should be thinking. The first service I gave was, we gonna be all right. You know what I'm saying? I like that. It was a bop. I think a lot of songs that was coming out at that time was slow and helped me. And I was like, oh, my God, you need to pick me up, yo. Yeah, we could be encouraged with a bop.
Krista Renee Hazel
Yes.
Ty Tribbett
So thank God that was the first.
Unidentified Male Announcer
One.
Krista Renee Hazel
And we needed that bop.
Ty Tribbett
Heated it. Right?
Krista Renee Hazel
Listen.
Ty Tribbett
And so when the second one came, I. I felt more of that.
Krista Renee Hazel
Yeah.
Ty Tribbett
You know that. You know. So what should our thought process be? Well, I want to think. Think about his promises right now, because I can't see nothing.
Unidentified Male Announcer
So.
Ty Tribbett
Okay, I know. I know you have good plans for me. Remind yourself of that. So if people were to take those lyrics, they will literally be rewiring their thoughts, you know what I'm saying? By reminding themselves of the promises of God. And then no matter what comes my way, hallelujah. It's just like, y'. All. It's taking the oomph out of anything that can hit you, y'.
Krista Renee Hazel
All right?
Ty Tribbett
I said, oh, my Lord, I forgot the lyrics. Never fear, something under control. The storm is here, but I'm sleep on the boat that Jesus was asleep.
Krista Renee Hazel
When the storm came.
Ty Tribbett
Everybody else, they thought they were going to die. He said, cares not that we. We're about to die. And these are fishermen talking. So they understand crazy weather. So it had to be extreme storms. Yes. That Jesus was not just. He was sleep. What kind of peace, what kind of power, what kind of Security. Is that.
Krista Renee Hazel
Yes.
Ty Tribbett
Oh, if he can have that, I can chill. And he tells us, you gotta fill the scripture. Fill the scripture for me. This is one I don't really like, but we gotta eat it.
Krista Renee Hazel
Yeah.
Ty Tribbett
Let not your heart be troubled. Don't let it. Wait a minute. You make sure my heart is good.
Krista Renee Hazel
God.
Ty Tribbett
No. That's your responsibility to be in trouble, but not troubled.
Krista Renee Hazel
My God.
Ty Tribbett
I'm trying to get out of this place. It is your responsibility to endure trouble and not be troubled, my Lord. How?
Krista Renee Hazel
How?
Ty Tribbett
There has to be some type of level of trust that I have to learn.
Krista Renee Hazel
Yes.
Ty Tribbett
And just accept that. Like, yo, my mom used to say, when I can't trace them, I'll trust them. So that, anyhow, was some of the fuel to give us that solidity in the. In the winds. You know what I mean? Like, hey, I know him. Who I believe he ain't let me down yet. Same guy. Pull any song you want.
Krista Renee Hazel
Yeah.
Ty Tribbett
I don't care how new this thing is moving me. He's the same guy. Yeah. And if he's the same, I'm gonna come out of this. That's. That's a challenge. I'm not saying I'm there.
Krista Renee Hazel
Yeah.
Ty Tribbett
It's a challenge to have that mindset in it. I'm on the chair talking to right now. I can say it when. When life is lifeing.
Krista Renee Hazel
Yeah. Like last time.
Ty Tribbett
I gotta change this. I gotta change the term now. You ain't gonna like. But when it.
Krista Renee Hazel
When it's doing that, life is not that bad, guys.
Ty Tribbett
How can we. How could we. How could we grab this thought in that moment? Hopefully, songs will help bring us back to that. And I wanna. That's what I want to do through anyhow.
Krista Renee Hazel
I love that. That's good. Yeah. And I think a lot of times, sometimes, also, like you said, it's something you're still learning. We feel like as soon as we get saved and turn our life over, that we're just supposed to have it all together. Last night, I had the premiere for Zatima season four.
Ty Tribbett
Congrats.
Krista Renee Hazel
Thank you. We were leaving, and my assistant told my guy who watches my car is, hey, when you leave, just push the bottom lock in when you leave. He said, okay, cool. He has the keys to my car that had the keys to my house on the keys. So he puts the keys back in the mudroom like he always does, Locks the door that goes into the house. So I opened up my garage with my phone, and I'm like. I look at Herman. I said, Herman, he locked us out of the house. My heart was troubled.
Ty Tribbett
I hear you right now.
Krista Renee Hazel
I was furious. And it's like, you know, things you're working on.
Ty Tribbett
I was like.
Krista Renee Hazel
I lost that split second. I was like, lord, forgive me. Cause I. How did I let. Like, literally. But I had to remind myself, yeah, he's still working.
Ty Tribbett
We have to find that anger expression. Yeah. That doesn't lead us to prolonged anger or sin. It says be angry, but sin not. So we allowed to get that. We're allowed to get upset.
Krista Renee Hazel
Yeah, I was upset. I was ready to go to sleep.
Unidentified Male Announcer
You probably.
Ty Tribbett
You probably know where to find that scripture. Oh, be angry, sinner. That proverb, too. Oh, I know that. I don't know. And not your heart.
Krista Renee Hazel
That's for me.
Ty Tribbett
I understand that anger is a thing. Yeah, I understand. I understand. We all are dealing with that, and we have to navigate that. Yeah, there's certain. There are certain things that are, like, non negotiables with God and certain things he let us have. Like, I mean, anger. You know what I'm saying? Like, whoa, How. Well, how far do I take this guy? You know what I'm saying? How many words can I use? Or how many.
Krista Renee Hazel
He's. All right, now, don't get carried away, right?
Ty Tribbett
All right, Chill back. He's such a.
Krista Renee Hazel
He, like.
Unidentified Male Announcer
Right?
Ty Tribbett
But see, the. The fact is, you can sense him doing that. That's the good. That's the good thing.
Krista Renee Hazel
Oh, he. Well, I tell you, he yoked me up so quick because I let it out. It was just like a, like, instant. Call me, like, calm. Calm down. Like, I was like, it's gonna be all right. And then my makeup artist broke into my door, and it worked out.
Ty Tribbett
Oh, okay. Good to have some hood people around you. No, I'm just playing. I'm not calling you hood all the time.
Krista Renee Hazel
It's so funny because Herman goes, you gotta be from Harlem.
Ty Tribbett
Shout out Harlem. Shout out, nyc. I love y'. All. Jerry, you gotta be from Harlem. It was so funny.
Krista Renee Hazel
Like, I got in the bed and I text my. I was like, I am still laughing.
Ty Tribbett
You gotta be wrong. Harlem is crazy work, y'. All.
Krista Renee Hazel
He actually from Orlando.
Ty Tribbett
Oh, shout out to Orlando. I just thought about it. Well, I'm from Jersey. I live in Orlando now, so you understand. Yeah, I get it. That's why when you said Harlem, I was like, yeah, we need some prayer, right?
Krista Renee Hazel
He's like, hold on, girl. I got it. I said, oh, we getting deadboats on this door asap, period.
Ty Tribbett
This is not happening to Me again.
Krista Renee Hazel
Hello. I was thinking. I was like, thank you, Lord.
Ty Tribbett
I get it.
Krista Renee Hazel
When I saw the light from the kitchen come through, I said, thank you.
Ty Tribbett
It's all right.
Krista Renee Hazel
It's all right.
Ty Tribbett
So how do you feel after? I'm gonna call it rage. After our rage moments. In retrospect, is it embarrassing? Is it, I didn't take all that, or is it.
Krista Renee Hazel
No, in that moment, it was so embarrassing because, like, I'm fasting right now, and I'm very, like, susceptible to all energies, and I feel everything. And in that moment, it was just. Just like a split second of human crystal, you know, that just came out. And it was uncontrollable. Like, I didn't even, like. But as soon as it happened, I felt him say, calm down. I was like. And it was just like, peace instantly. I was like. It almost didn't even happen. Like, the anger just instantly went away. And I was like, okay. And then after, I was like, I'm over here. Like, you know what I'm saying? Encouraging people. You can't be doing that. You know? So it was, like, a little bit of shame and, like, embarrassment that they saw me get out of character. But at the same time, don't be liking my keys in the house.
Ty Tribbett
Don't be doing it. Don't be just doing it.
Krista Renee Hazel
And I got a long day. I was thinking about tomorrow. I was like, I got three episodes. I gotta be up early, and I can get up at 4:30. I'm already an hour and a half behind going to sleep because I've been on this schedule. So, like, I think that's a part of, like, regimented people and people who are super successful. We're hyper. Regimented. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So once I get fixated on a schedule, it's like, all right, I'm already. Because I had to work. I'm already an hour and a half behind getting in bed, and now I'm locked out of the house.
Ty Tribbett
But you psychologically planned out how your day and night should go.
Krista Renee Hazel
So I can start it right with God in the morning, and here I am.
Ty Tribbett
And when it doesn't go that way because of someone else. Yeah, it gets kind of. This morning, like, last night I did, you know, another show, and then I got in so late.
Krista Renee Hazel
Yeah.
Ty Tribbett
And I was like, all right, let me get my clothes off for tomorrow. I don't feel like I'm not going to iron tonight. I'm not ironing tonight. I'm going to bed. I went to bed. I said, I'm all right. When I get up in the morning, I'm iron. My little. This little thing I got up, and there's no ironing board in the room. So I'm like, hey, how you doing? Can I have an ironing board? Sure. We should have that up between 30 and 45 minutes. I'm sorry. I'm leaving in 20. You know, I needed. So I had all this iron on the bed. Like, do you understand? Let me tell y' all what I did, and do not laugh at me. I put this thing on the hanger, the pants thing on the hanger. Open that shower.
Krista Renee Hazel
Oh, good. Steam. Yeah, that's smart.
Ty Tribbett
And let that thing steam. Shut that thing. I walk in there, like.
Krista Renee Hazel
Resourceful.
Ty Tribbett
Do you understand? I'm not too wrinkled today, but I try. Do you understand?
Krista Renee Hazel
Yeah.
Ty Tribbett
Just the slightest thing going off of what you plan could just cause it because you have to compensate immediately. You have to come up with something immediately. It's almost like something going wrong on stage, like the sound going out. And I got to figure out in the moment.
Krista Renee Hazel
Yes.
Ty Tribbett
I keep everybody together and my crew and fix the problem.
Krista Renee Hazel
The show goes on.
Ty Tribbett
Thank God. I grew up in an old school church where anything happened all the time. So I learned a lot of remedies. Come on, clap your hands and give him glory. Right?
Krista Renee Hazel
Y' all figured out now? Or like Beyonce, somebody's getting fired.
Ty Tribbett
Lights. Lights. Exactly. You know, that's understandable. But I. I thank God we can have help with all of that.
Krista Renee Hazel
Yes, absolutely.
Ty Tribbett
And I don't consider that a fail. Crystal.
Krista Renee Hazel
Yeah. Thank you.
Ty Tribbett
I don't.
Krista Renee Hazel
Thank you.
Ty Tribbett
I don't. If you can sense God's correction, it's not a fail. When you can't sense it. That's a fail.
Krista Renee Hazel
Okay, now you're about to have me crying up here.
Ty Tribbett
That's a fail.
Krista Renee Hazel
Okay?
Ty Tribbett
That's the fail. Even with sins and things. And when we fall.
Krista Renee Hazel
Fall. Yeah.
Ty Tribbett
A just man falls seven times. But you just gotta hear him say, get up. It's the people that can't hear him say, get up. To me, that's a fail. And it's my opinion.
Krista Renee Hazel
Yeah.
Ty Tribbett
So I just wanted to encourage you. Don't do that again.
Krista Renee Hazel
Don't you do that again. Now you know better. Now do better.
Ty Tribbett
Right, right, right, right, right, right, right.
Krista Renee Hazel
No, for sure. Thank you for that.
Ty Tribbett
You already know. Yeah, yeah.
Krista Renee Hazel
No, for sure. I do want to know how has fatherhood and marriage shaped the music that you create?
Ryan Seacrest
Whoa.
Krista Renee Hazel
It keeps you talking about your wife and your children.
Ty Tribbett
Yeah, yeah. Marriage and kids help my music in that it keeps my anxiety. No, I'm just playing, right? I. I married my wife at 21. She was 18, I was 21. So before my career started, she was already with me. She came to like one of the first rehearsals, joined the choir. So she was part of my home.
Krista Renee Hazel
We saw her, we were like.
Ty Tribbett
Not in that key, but the same song.
Krista Renee Hazel
He was like, that's my queen.
Ty Tribbett
There you go. Like that. I'm a small family church. Everybody in this church are my cousins.
Krista Renee Hazel
Right, Right.
Ty Tribbett
If any guests come, me and my brother's like, no, that's me, that's me. Yo, chill, chill, chill.
Krista Renee Hazel
Yes, that was me in Martin, Tennessee.
Ty Tribbett
Really?
Krista Renee Hazel
That's me.
Ty Tribbett
Yo, that's me. Chill, chill. I don't care if she was Fiona. Yo, we just gonna at least get the name.
Krista Renee Hazel
So.
Ty Tribbett
When she walked in, my eyebrows went all the way to my, my hairline. Like, no, yo, you know, just that kind of funny thing. It must have been. And then so we talked. So from there we just started kicking it. I always like how she thought she's not religious. She don't think like the average church lady with the big hat. And I love all church ladies with the big hats, but she doesn't think along those lines. Her relationship with God. God are not along religious lines. It's relationship. So I was, I was hooked on that from a young age, before she even really knew, you know, how to have this. So that helped shape my music as far as relationship with God, period. And she was like, ty, some songs you got. It's just too pretty.
Krista Renee Hazel
Wow.
Ty Tribbett
It's too pretty. For those of you that know music, there are major keys.
Krista Renee Hazel
Minor, minor.
Ty Tribbett
My wife loves the minor. So if I'm in there, like, she's like, oh my God, she don't do that. Cuz she gonna be like, baby, why you do. But she needs a. She needs that minor. That thing, that, that, that depth. I call it the deepness.
Krista Renee Hazel
Yes.
Ty Tribbett
I was like, okay, you deep?
Krista Renee Hazel
Yeah.
Ty Tribbett
She's in the chamber music and like that classical stuff. So that's what kind of. I kind of like shape some of my things. Like. Okay, let me do. Let me try it. A minor. Yeah, a minor. Even if it's victory. Victory. I wrote away. But I changed the, the. The keys to minor. Those you don't understand. You understand. I changed the keys to minor because I thought, you know, she liked it and it. I. I love it. Those are minor notes. Yeah. But I, I did. She helps me in that regard. And she's my. She's my Soundboard. Like, I like that. When she say it's cute or. Or they gonna love it. They're gonna love it.
Krista Renee Hazel
I'm like, but you don't love it.
Ty Tribbett
I'm not finished, babe. I'm just gonna. I'll just give you the idea. It could be fully mastered.
Krista Renee Hazel
Like.
Ty Tribbett
She helps you with that. And the kids the same way. Yeah. All of my music, like, my next album. They hearing it now. Yeah, they're hearing it now while I'm recording. And just their response, reaction, and sometimes suggestions. It goes all in the pot. So we all one big creative crew.
Krista Renee Hazel
I love it.
Ty Tribbett
Yeah. They are part of everything. Clothes, everything. My wife. You wearing that. Put that on that. Put the hat on that. Put the thing on that. Put the. Oh, thank you. She's very creative, lazy.
Krista Renee Hazel
Keep all that stuff.
Ty Tribbett
You know what I mean?
Krista Renee Hazel
I love that.
Ty Tribbett
So I went to the podcast sets. Babe, do the sets. You look good in the sets. All right. Bet. You know what I mean? So she's still my advisor in that regard. Still very much involved in all my decision making and administrative and administratively help keep the ship going.

Lexus is a company that believes in the importance of setting a standard, which I can appreciate as someone who holds themselves to lofty, if not ridiculous, standards, especially with the car I drive. The standard Lexus has set for themselves is to experience amazing Lexus measures success by the feeling and emotions evoked in a driver, like exhilaration and joy. Amazing can only be achieved by knowing people on a deeper level. The standard of amazing results in a feeling in drivers that their car was built in anticipation of them. Machines that make you feel more human. Because a car that doesn't make you feel something is a car that stops short of amazing experience. Amazing at your Lexus dealer.

Krista Renee Hazel
You are really, really big on mental health and anti bullying. What was the spark that made you say, this is what I want to get behind? Because I think for most of the black community, it wasn't until 2020 that we really started getting behind.
Ty Tribbett
I was gonna say, yeah, I was glad that it became a movement. And then I was like, where was this? When I was right, I was a skinny, black, bucktooth kid all my life. Like, I. My class loves substitute teachers. I hated them their first time seeing me, you know what I mean? Things like that all the time. And then kids and all that stuff. Once I found out it was a thing and campaigning and anti bullying, I said, I'm getting on that. I understand what it does to us, to the psyche. Having a good home, I still had a good home. I had both parents in the home. Yeah, Pastor quad. It was good. But leaving that house, the anxiety I felt, the fear, the embarrassment regardless, the. The rehearsing, how to hold my mouth, you know what I mean? Just to not be teased, you know? Oh, man, it was crazy. I still got big teeth, but I don't care now, you know, but you know what I mean? Just all of that I understood and understand how that that affects the mind. I went to my gifts, they laughed at me until I played basketball or the keys. I was like, bet you can't do this. Yeah, yeah.
Krista Renee Hazel
I love it.
Ty Tribbett
But I don't want to have to exercise my gift as a get back. I want to enjoy doing what I do. So if I could help the kids navigate mentally or give them some tips on how to just Navigate, you know, bullies and understand that the people that's talking about, man, they got insecurities. And they so happy that yours is seen.
Krista Renee Hazel
Yes.
Ty Tribbett
That they just go. You know, most people online who harp on scandals got stuff going on. They sell. But thank God it's somebody else this time. That's the. Oh, you said. Okay, so that's a sip moment. That's a sip moment, ladies and gentlemen. I'll do it from the bottom of the cup like this.
Krista Renee Hazel
I can't understand that. And I think we can definitely understand, because we're living our lives in the public eye. But even, like, when I hear people, like, discussing scandals and mishaps, I'm like, I know what it's like to have my name in something and people not know the truth, and I can't speak about it. And everybody got an opinion.
Ty Tribbett
Like, I didn't even know my fist was bald. Let me relax.
Krista Renee Hazel
That life of life that is listen.
Ty Tribbett
You know, and we got to be mute. We gotta. We gotta bridle our tongue. We gotta be wise in our.
Krista Renee Hazel
You know, because anything we say is like, yeah, anything.
Ty Tribbett
So that's very, very, very, very, very frustrating.
Krista Renee Hazel
Yeah.
Ty Tribbett
So in the area, in the arena of bullying, we got cyberbullying now. I mean, people. You know, so just helping them navigate. Because I have a heart for the kids. I know I sound like everybody, but I. I really have a heart for kids, and I cannot stand how they are overlooked, not educated, not emotionally attended to.
Krista Renee Hazel
Yes.
Ty Tribbett
Yeah.
Krista Renee Hazel
And even now, like how you said with cyberbullying, social media, it is so much. And that's a part of the reason why I'm scared to bring a child into this world now. Like, when we were kids, like, the worst thing you had to worry about was getting kidnapped. You know what I'm saying? Like, make sure if you see somebody pulling up, don't talk to strangers. Run. You know what I'm saying?
Ty Tribbett
Stand by the street lights.
Krista Renee Hazel
Don't be by yourself. Yeah. Now it's like, so many influences. It's really scary. How do you protect your children from all these things?
Unidentified Male Announcer
Right?
Ty Tribbett
And since they're using. Cause I was talking about Sunday. Like, hey, don't just let your kids. Don't just send them in the corner with a tablet.
Krista Renee Hazel
Oh, my God. I just told my dad that with my nephew. I was like, y' all gotta make sure we know what he's on. Cause these games, they be infiltrating them games and saying stuff to kids, and.
Ty Tribbett
You won't even know they're Coming to us at the church. They're coming to us. This is happening, this is happening, this is happening. And I'm like, I think parents want to silence. Like, as long as they quiet. So I could do silence is not good parenting. Like, presence is not silence. Presence just. Oh, please, y'. All.
Krista Renee Hazel
Yeah.
Ty Tribbett
Just please the kids. I just really.
Krista Renee Hazel
Yeah.
Ty Tribbett
So, but that homework sometimes and schoolwork is on these tablets. That's what somebody from the church said to me. I said, well, we got to find a way. How do we do that now? Because what age should a child be on social media? Right.
Krista Renee Hazel
And what I don't feel like until, like, 18. Like, when you're going to college. Yeah. I feel like in high school, all it's gonna do is you're too young to deal with all those pressures. Cause the comparison. And you're already dealing with so and so. Got the Jordans. I ain't got them. And she's got this happen. She's dating this guy. And now, like, everything is even amplified on social media. Like, I don't. I feel like it should be, like, when you get in college.
Ty Tribbett
I agree. Because when you dealt with that, it was regional. It was like Kyle and Corey got the sneaks. Now it's like, like a million people. I'm exposed to too many people who have what I don't even have access to. And I could do. I agree with that. Yeah.
Krista Renee Hazel
And I can see just not getting to get too deep, but I can see how it leads to more crime. Because, like, you're seeing. I want this. I want this. How can I get it? By any means necessary.
Ty Tribbett
Yeah.
Krista Renee Hazel
It's scary. And so many people start. That's when mental illnesses kick in. Because depression, all the things from that app. I was just in the car yesterday also. We were talking. Cause when you were talking about aging yourself, we were in the car. I was getting my makeup done early at the house. And my videographer, we were like, when were you born? And he said, 2001.
Ty Tribbett
I said.
Krista Renee Hazel
I said, you probably look at us like we're looking at him. Like, what is that, 2000? I said, when I was graduating high school in 2009.
Ty Tribbett
2001.
Krista Renee Hazel
So we started going back. Did you guys have, like, Nintendo's? He said, no, we had, like, PlayStations. We're like, so what about the ipod? He said, we had this many say. And then we got, like, the first ipod came out later. I was like, okay, but it was like going down a rabbit hole. I was like, y' all remember these phones? Like, Sidekicks and BlackBerry. He's like, we had blackberries. And then I was like, I wonder if there's a phone, like, now that doesn't have social media on it. We literally just talking about it. It's the Razer flip phone.
Ty Tribbett
They don't have it.
Krista Renee Hazel
I said, I'm going to get one of those.
Ty Tribbett
I'm buying 100 and giving it to my youth department.
Krista Renee Hazel
They said. And then there's like. It's nothing like hanging up on somebody with a flip phone.
Ty Tribbett
That feel good, because you can't really do that. It never feels the same.
Krista Renee Hazel
I was like. And then my photographer, she was like. She said, yeah, I think everybody should have, like, a phone with no social media on it. Like your business phone. And then a phone with. Yeah.
Ty Tribbett
And I was like, healthy for your mind, man.
Krista Renee Hazel
Wow.
Ty Tribbett
It's healthy for your mind. That's why I'm starting to read out my physical Bible more now.
Krista Renee Hazel
God, I literally just said, I'm taking my Bible to church, y'.
Unidentified Male Announcer
All.
Krista Renee Hazel
Because, look, when's. You don't see people do that anymore. Very few.
Ty Tribbett
I commanded Liv to bring Bibles to church. Like, y' all just bring it to church. And how the mind works and how the mind learns is pictures. You know what I mean? No weapon formed against. Oh, I know where that is because it's the second column.
Krista Renee Hazel
Yes.
Ty Tribbett
It's highlighted in yellow. It's something about that that'll help us remember it. Yeah.
Krista Renee Hazel
I tell JB all the time when she. Because she'll read my notes for me for the shows and, like, no, I gotta read it. Like, I'm a visual person. I had to read. I had to highlight it, and then it. It comes right to me.
Ty Tribbett
When I read the Bible on technology and them alerts come up and notifications. It's over.
Unidentified Male Announcer
Over.
Ty Tribbett
Prayer time is over. Thank you, God. I hope.
Krista Renee Hazel
Stay with me. All right.
Ty Tribbett
Physical Bibles, y'. All. Yes, I'm on that. I'm on that. I'm back.
Krista Renee Hazel
Yep. I literally just said that. I was like, I'm gonna start taking my Bible to church.
Ty Tribbett
Yeah, man. That's the move right there.
Krista Renee Hazel
Yeah. No, that's so dope.
Ty Tribbett
Yeah.
Krista Renee Hazel
As a man, a lot of times in our culture, the men are the strong towers of the family. They're the ones holding everybody up. How do you feel when society pressures men to be the strong one and not give them the space to be vulnerable? Which I feel like we're trying to do better about that. But how do you feel when you may not feel like you Have a space to be vulnerable.
Ty Tribbett
Yeah. Again, I got married very, very young. I got married at 21, which means I was dating at 20, 19 and a half. 20. So I very rarely feel unsafe.
Krista Renee Hazel
That's good.
Ty Tribbett
It's a blessing.
Krista Renee Hazel
Yes.
Ty Tribbett
Like my. Like my father. When my father passed, my wife and my kids just became what I needed. And without training, without.
Krista Renee Hazel
Yes.
Ty Tribbett
You know, I mean, I could bust out crying and be weird for two hours and.
Krista Renee Hazel
Yeah.
Ty Tribbett
I feel. I feel safe and I feel like I've given them that as well. And so it's a fair exchange. I really don't. I really don't. This is a blessing. I really don't feel like I don't have a safe place as far as being a man in my. And I'm the only man in the house. You know what I mean? It's me and all these women. So pray for me. Anybody who got intercessory gifts, pray for time.
Krista Renee Hazel
That is funny. Yeah.
Ty Tribbett
All the women in there. But for men who. Who feel that I think it's important to. I feel like if I. I feel that way about service thing.
Krista Renee Hazel
Yeah.
Ty Tribbett
If I'm the CEO of Keep it positive. Keep it positive.
Unidentified Male Announcer
Excuse me?
Ty Tribbett
If I'm the CEO of Keep. Keep it Positive.
Krista Renee Hazel
Yeah.
Ty Tribbett
And you come here and I'm like, oh, hold on, let me get. I serve you something. If I give you something. If I'm. I'm still the CEO of Keep it. Don't take from me.
Krista Renee Hazel
Right.
Ty Tribbett
To lower myself. Oh, God help me. This what Jesus did. He was still the savior of the entire world. And he washed the disciples feet that he created. He used the water he created to wash the feet he created and was still the creator.
Krista Renee Hazel
Come on.
Ty Tribbett
While they looked at him like, don't do that. That's the lowest job. It could be your perception, but it's not the truth. It don't take from me. So men, when it comes to being vulnerable, you still the man.
Krista Renee Hazel
Yes.
Ty Tribbett
You having a weak moment. Oh, well, I don't. They don't take manhood from you to be vulnerable. So if we can have the confidence to know that I'm still. Kings cry, Pharaohs have cried. I mean, kings have been confused. Presidents don't know what to do sometimes. Yeah. It's. It don't take away who you are.
Krista Renee Hazel
Yeah.
Ty Tribbett
Because you have to, you know, you have a moment. So I say be bold. Be boldly weak in that season.
Krista Renee Hazel
Yeah.
Ty Tribbett
Be boldly vulnerable. And you'll discover a love from the people around you that you never knew existed or you'll discover the truth about those that are around you. They need you to be Superman. And if that's the. You know. And then you can govern yourselves accordingly from there. Yeah, but you find real love when you become vulnerable, not when you're strong. Real love don't exist when you're strong. Yeah. Real love shows up when you are weak. When you're weak. His strength is made perfect in our weakness. It's the same concept. So don't be afraid to be weak, man. Now, I'm not saying live weak, Right? But don't be afraid to be weak when you need to be. It don't take away from who you are.
Krista Renee Hazel
I love that. Thank you. I know. Somebody need to hear that.
Ty Tribbett
Amen.
Krista Renee Hazel
I need to hear that, cuz, you know that woman take on that like.
Ty Tribbett
Too, like, you know what I'm saying? How do you feel about. I'm g. Just say girl power, like, you know what I mean? I love. I. I love. When I grew up, my grandmother was the pastor of my church. Wow. So the first voice of God or preaching or pastor I heard was my grandmother. And then my dad took it over, so I. Women leadership. I don't have a problem with that. My mom was a minister and choir director. I don't have a problem with women in authority. I love all of that stuff. How do you feel women are being accepted in. In that space? You just see you got your thing going on.
Krista Renee Hazel
You.
Ty Tribbett
You the boss. How do you feel about boss lady ism?
Krista Renee Hazel
Boss lady ism? I feel like now it's being more accepted. But I do know there's even churches that still don't accept women preachers. And I was like, like Brenda told me that. And I was like, What? Like in 2025, like, still, still?
Ty Tribbett
Yeah, still. That's weird. That's weird.
Krista Renee Hazel
Mad weird.
Ty Tribbett
But what about in the workplace? Is the competition worse because you compete with other women now and not just men?
Krista Renee Hazel
Yeah. I think there is so much woman empowerment now. I think we are really building each other up and saying, okay, how can I help you?
Ty Tribbett
I love it.
Krista Renee Hazel
What you got going on, I love it. Those are the women. I feel like you attract what you are. I've attracted those type of women. And even if, like, you do get some jealous ones, I don't know. Cuz I'm too busy winning.
Unidentified Male Announcer
I got you.
Ty Tribbett
I finished it for you. I'm too busy winning. She's too busy winning to be worried.
Krista Renee Hazel
About that, you know, so. Yeah, I. I appreciate it. I take it on. And I just Love all the women that God has put around me.
Ty Tribbett
I love it.
Krista Renee Hazel
Yeah. Strong women in our own rights, in our own ways. We're in our own lanes, you know, where we can say, there's no. Like, I don't know if I want to help you because you might run up me or get ahead of me, you know, but even if it's. We are in the same industry, there's room for everybody.
Ty Tribbett
It is. I always say, I don't know how many hairs is on top of my. I don't know how much hair is up here, but each hair is on top. We all can be on top.
Krista Renee Hazel
Come on.
Ty Tribbett
It's space.
Krista Renee Hazel
Yeah, it's plenty of space. I love that. So we got a tour coming up. We outside.
Ty Tribbett
We outside. I know. I had to do it. I had to do it. Y' all know I was going, yes.
Krista Renee Hazel
I was like, we outside is crazy. There's so many meanings of we outside. Let me clarify, what's your meaning of we outside? Ty Trivet.
Ty Tribbett
It's provocative on purpose or it's interesting on purpose, or it's eyebrow raising on purpose. I feel like a lot of people, again, feel like the church or godliness is activated in church, where the real church is outside.
Krista Renee Hazel
Yeah.
Ty Tribbett
Forgiveness is not really activated in church. It's activated outside, love. I mean, y' all can go down the whole list of everything God or every. All. All of the godly characteristics for the fruit of the spirit is activated outside of the church, really. So that's where life is lived. So I want to put the emphasis on.
Unidentified Male Announcer
On.
Ty Tribbett
On. On that, like, the real church is not like, outside or not. Not the party scene outside.
Krista Renee Hazel
Right. Yeah.
Ty Tribbett
I'm about to say, but it is a celebratory. Yeah, I mean, lean to it. And that's why I said it. Yeah. We outside. And don't have to be guilty about it. Don't have to be shameful about what you're doing or don't have to be embarrassed. You could be like, yo, man, we. We are we all the way up for Jesus Christ. And why. Why not?
Krista Renee Hazel
Why not?
Ty Tribbett
Why not? Nobody else rescued me from that mental place. Nobody else sat with me in that confused place. Nobody else snatched me out of that dark place. Who should get the most noise? Who should get the most energy? Who should get the most focus? Who should get. Present your bodies? You should get all of us, man.
Krista Renee Hazel
Yeah.
Ty Tribbett
