Manage episode 409212575 series 3523225
Become a Relative & send some love
When Roc Solo, the Hook God from Norfolk, Virginia, throw it back to the days of pretending to be the Temptations, you know we're about to get real about music and life. As we settle into a journey of melodies and memories, we uncover the crucial roles that relationships play over the quest for wealth, and the way our artistry has been shaped by the legendary sounds that echo from our childhoods to the present day.
Navigating the waters of fatherhood, our conversation takes a heartfelt turn, revealing how our daughters have become our greatest inspirations—and sometimes our most adorable critics. The influence of parenthood on our music leads to revelations about our creative processes and how we've recalibrated our ambitions to reflect the new responsibilities and joys that come with raising these little future leaders. In the same breath, we tease the behind-the-scenes creative struggle and excitement that went into perfecting our latest drop, "On Full's," highlighting the brotherhood and dedication at WMB.
Wrapping things up, we debate our top hip-hop artists and producers, chuckle over the unexpected physical statures of rap icons, and discuss how different cities have left their mark on our musical styles. We share stories of navigating egos in the business and how building genuine connections can sometimes overshadow the allure of a hefty paycheck. Join us on this groove-filled ride that's as much about beats and bars as it is about the bonds that make the music matter.
