Ask Freudina

On this episode of Ask Freudina, we interview Lucidious, a hip-hop artist originally from Virginia who now lives in Los Angeles. He is a big advocate of mental health and speaks about his struggles through his music. Just like our platform Ask Freudina, he takes a DIY approach to releasing music and interacting with his fans by responding to their messages and placing them into organized support groups. Throughout this in-depth and therapeutic session, Freudina and Lucidious talk about society's current struggle with depression and anxiety as well as his upcoming music releases. He talks about his family, mental health, and how he stays true to himself despite the overwhelming amount of fans who want to connect with him.
