Despite being cozy and comfy at the crib, it's curly time.
0:01
Go sub GQ.
0:07
I'm Gerald and I'm back for round two to show you my at home essentials.
0:07
Presents in, so you know it's kind of a piece of my uniform, but a piece of myself is my A's hat that I pretty much wear every day, especially when I'm away from home from the Bay.
0:21
It's kind of just like a thing that, you know, ties me to home and reminds me where I'm from.
0:26
I'll probably own over a hundred A's hats.
0:34
This is at um, spy probably a few months and still got some life left.
0:34
I had one that I was like wearing forever.
0:34
I let it get real, real, real dingy and dirty and then I got a ton of crisp options and, you know, making that decision on which one to wear these days, it's not as easy as it looks.
0:34
The biggest essential community of my studio is I'm very, very, very blessed and fortunate to have an at home studio.
0:34
This is the upstairs of my studio.
0:54
So it has like my plaques on Kobe, Jersey, some arcade games.
1:00
You know, I survived up here, but then downstairs in the real studio that's right, go to completely work in my lock in and focus like this room as I get the ear break gets your mind off it for a second to come back fresh and then I go downstairs and it's like there's nothing but words down there.
1:04
My whole studio is lit up with Hue lights.
1:14
I'll switch the colors of them depending on the song I'm working on, depending on the vibe I'm in.
1:19
I don't know what I would be doing with all this time if I didn't have my studio.
1:23
I'd go crazy.
1:23
It's obviously an outlet, a place to express myself and to pour myself into something.
1:31
I'm usually in a studio with, you know, producers and our guy.
1:34
This was just me alone in my studio so all of a sudden it was like, damn, like I'm gonna just make whatever I want to use this time to freely explore creatively and break the rules because why not?
1:47
A big at home essential is just nice scented candles.
1:51
The big little Abba Santa just filled up the room with a real nice scent.
1:51
I didn't know but like a nice scented candle, you're only supposed to burn for what, like 20 minutes and then that fills the room with the scent for, you know, an hour or two or whatever but, you know, I like the vibe of having like a ton of candles lit, you know.
2:07
So, so a big at home essential, you know, in a way.
2:10
I've spent a lot of time there in quarantine.
2:13
There's been reading.
2:15
You know, sometimes it's hard with our busy life, it gets hard to like to sit down and focus, but for me, reading over quarantine has been a practice of, you know, remembering the focus to slow down until I read a post office, Charles Bukowski.
2:30
I'm reading a farewell to arms right now.
2:32
Are you telling away Chuck Palahniuk choked?
2:33
And then probably the favorite thing I read over coinson was Acid for the Children.
2:41
It's a memoir about Flea from Red Hot Chili Peppers.
2:41
Like I love the Red Hot Chili Peppers of Japan, but like I didn't, I got to know a lot more about Flea's, you know, upbringing, his youth, is, you know, it's whole backstory.
2:41
Yeah, I love Fitzgerald.
2:41
I would like like classic, like timeless, like authors that are, you know, that iconic and I feel like going back they really transport you to a different time and place.
2:41
Reading has been a big thing over coin seeing and like a great way to just like pass the time until at home.
3:04
Music is, you know, as essential as anything is in my life and listening to music in the right way.
3:09
So I have Marshall speakers all around the house.
3:17
They're aesthetically pleasing.
3:13
They look like old amps and the sound quality is great.
3:17
If I listen to music every single day, it's one of the first things when I wake up, something else tears, make my coffee, music immediately.
3:22
I've been building a record collection for a long time, but there's a part about putting a record on, it's like, yeah, at the click of a button on your phone, you can have any song ever made anywhere, but there's, I go there's a respect you put on the process, take that record out, you put the record on, it's an experience.
3:39
It's not just background music, you know, it's an act of like really appreciating the music itself.
3:44
But yeah, I mean, there's a few records, a Radiohead, Ben's Mac Dre, Xenia lamp, Nirvana Unplugged, which is one of the greatest.
3:54
I love Supreme John Coltrane.
3:56
Those it's a lot of times lately and then one of my favorite albums of all time, Midnight Marauders, Tribe Called Quest, Nina Simone can listen to a lot of Nana.
4:05
A pretty eclectic range, but you know, just some of the stuff I'm into.
4:07
Music is something that just makes a home feel like a home.
4:10
I shouldn't believe that it's atmosphere.
4:12
So obviously a big essential, you know, we've all been in the house, you know, getting dressed, it's not what it used to be so sweat suits are, you know, let's go to this one is don't fire upon a supreme.
5:16
Anytime I find something I really like, I usually just buy backups, you know, when you find something that you really like this like guy.
5:16
I mean love look.
5:16
So I enjoyed watch this.
5:16
Wait, I like like your snobby own blog, something dry and crisp and citrusy.
5:16
Some friends of mine are like really in the one who are staying with me at the house so just like trying all different kinds.
5:16
So it's just like, it's old like part of the night.
5:16
They can cook your dinner and you have a nice wine with it.
5:16
How often do we open a new bottle of wine?
5:16
A little depends on the night.
5:16
Coffee is an essential.
5:16
I love coffee.
5:16
I can't look at my phone, I can't talk to anybody, I can't think before I've had a cup of coffee, that's just like, just don't bother me.
5:16
And so I've had my coffee sometimes I'll just do espresso, sometimes drip, pour over coffee, sometimes a French press.
5:16
I like Pete's coffee.
5:26
I made pizzas from the Bay.
5:26
I just think coffee's delicious and it's the whole again, it's a process of like, you know, making a French press or, you know, the smell of espresso.
5:26
I usually just turn your black, maybe some cream.
5:26
A dash, not a splash.
5:26
How many cups of coffee do I have a day?
5:26
That number I'd not like to say, but I like four to five cups a day, way more than I should be having.
5:26
In the backyard, I like a treadmill, some waves.
5:28
We jokingly call it Jerry's Gymnasium.
5:31
For me, running is very meditative and obviously, you know, you have to stay active and find ways to exercise.
5:37
My treadmill is like, that's where I go to meditate and just like find that call me.
5:42
Yeah, I like running to film scores.
5:46
I love The Dark Knight score.
5:46
I love Brooklyn for a dream.
5:52
That scores well that favors getting 30 minutes like three miles to eight minutes in like per day.
5:53
It just feels good after you after you get that done.
5:59
You got to finally to stay healthy during quarantine.
5:57
I think a lot of us have had the opportunity to inwardly reflect and decide like what we want to change or learn or evolve into.
6:08
I've always wanted to learn how to play piano and learn how to sing and I've spent a lot of time working with a teacher and a coach.
6:15
I mean, I started just by like my ear, like I would put a record on and like just start to play to it, figure out with kids and fun scale, but like spinning the time to really like work on that and learn how to play piano.
6:28
The piano is like a, even as a piece of furniture, it's essential to like at home.
6:32
I mean, it makes my home feel like a home.
6:39
Pre-quarantine, we were doing in jazz night at Jerry's, you know, like a little get-together like we'd all like cook up dinner and then just play in the sun jazz and like, you know, drink some wine, you know, smoking.
6:45
So it's just kind of like a thing that ties everybody together anyway.
6:50
It's an upright, it's an old one.
6:51
I didn't want to give something like brand new and fancy and clean.
6:57
I think there's like rustic qualities, so I can old piano and it just reminds me of my grandma's house.
6:57
Y'all sit at the piano every single day.
6:57
Sometimes we'll sit down for five minutes, sometimes I'm there for two hours.
6:57
It's like going to trance.
6:57
Music is something I tend to get lost in, you know, it can be that way in the studio.
6:57
I'll blink in eight hours and past.
7:12
Thanks again, GQ.
7:12
I appreciate the opportunity.
7:14
Much love to you guys.
7:14
Those are my essentials.
