On our podcast, we interview and connect with rappers // hip hop musicians on an intimate level, breaking the fourth wall between the artist and the human. From what their why is, to shadow work + inner child healing, to how they practice staying grounded and mindful, these conversations will bridge the gap between the spiritual and material and remind us that we're all on the same journey.
