Ever found yourself striking that precarious balance between staying true to your art and craving mainstream success? That's the tightrope walk we, Zach Batista and Brandon May, navigate in our latest podcast discussion. From the intricacies of social media to the candid challenges of captivating interviews, we're laying it bare—the triumphs, the missteps, and the 'happy mistakes' that shape our podcasting adventure. Transitioning from a background in mathematics and military strategy to the creative arts, I'm riding a steep learning curve, embracing the quirks of the artistic process with an open mind.
Rap battles, cowboy boots, and the evolution of hip-hop culture take center stage as we dissect the lyrical genius of Drake and Kendrick Lamar, reliving the raw competitiveness that's the heartbeat of the genre. Music is more than just a backdrop for us—it's a reflection of memories, emotions, and the times we find ourselves in. We delve into personal stories tinged with nostalgia, from music studio ventures to fashion trends that never lose their luster, while pondering the current state of rap and its longing for storytelling depth.
In the tough world of the arts, genuine support can come from the most unexpected places, and we're no strangers to this reality. We reflect on the unique connections made through our podcast, the shared artistry within our tattoo studio, and the sheer value of honest feedback. We invite you to join our circle, contribute your favorite tunes, and even snag a chance at winning a tattoo raffle. It's a session filled with appreciation, candid exchanges, and the acknowledgment of the support that fuels our creative journey. So, pop in those earbuds and join us for a trip through the trials and tribulations of our artistic endeavors.
