Few embody a true DIY ethos, and a genuine appetite to be bold and different quite like today’s guest, Fat Tony.

Tony is a Houston-native, who’s charisma and eccentric tastes have led him down a highly unique artistic journey, making waves in the rap game with his diverse-sounding albums, and a wide array of collaborations with the likes of Paul Wall, A$AP Rocky, and more. His impact was not limited to just music though, as he’s hosted TV shows on VICE as well.

Fat Tony is a multimedia star, who joins the show to discuss the key lessons he’s learnt as an artist, the importance of following your authentic North Star, and his latest album with Taydex, I Will Make a Baby in this Damn Economy.
