In this episode, we're joined by two talented performers and rappers from North Carolina. First up is Bruce LaRondé, who can be found at https://poplme.co/brucelaronde. Indisputably one of the most multifaceted artists of this generation, Bruce is one of those rare MCs that has achieved both underground and commercial success while earning the respect of those who have inspired him. I remember seeing Bruce back in high school and it's amazing to see how much he's grown as an artist!

Our second guest is Saint Pat, an Artist/Producer and the Founder/CEO of Villain Gang Entertainment LLC. He's a father of two. Saint Pat hails from Reidsville, North Carolina, and funnily enough, his mom and my mom are best friends! It's been wonderful to see his art evolve and grow.

In this episode, we'll be discussing what it's like to be an artist and the journey it takes to get there. We'll touch on the struggles and triumphs that come with pursuing a career in the music industry. We hope you enjoy the episode and please share and subscribe to support these talented artists!
