Shoebox Baby Interview: LIVING in O'Block, Survivor's Guilt, Chief Keef & King Von | Sad Boy Radio
Description
Sad Boys For Reall! Chicago artist, Shoebox Baby, slides to PVTSTCK to discuss growing up in O’Block, how his early success impacted his mindset, and learning how to cope with the loss of those closest to him.
In the song, “Recovery Mode” by FEMDOT he says, “So what you when you look in my eyes? / All the trauma I hide / All the hurt I disguise / So what you see when you think about our lives? / And all the times that I've tried and feel guilty that we alive.” This concept has followed Shoebox as he’s become the man he is today. Dealing with the repercussions of “survivor’s guilt” & the idea that it could’ve been him.
Box has been shaped by the home he’s known his whole life. For better & for worse. Living with the traumas that have been instilled, but using those as motivation for his next chapter.
Also discussed, "Make O'Block Great Again," memories with King Von, influence that Chief Keef had on the community, appearing on No Jumper & On The Radar.
