What happens when everything you’ve built, your identity, your grind, your movement, is suddenly disrupted by illness? In this soul-punching episode of the ASQ Podcast, we sit with Robert Cardillo II, better known as B-Cide, rapper, producer, and author of Myelin My Shoes, a brutally honest memoir chronicling life with MS, mental health struggles, and his 25-year journey in underground music.
Diagnosed with multiple sclerosis in 2011, B-Cide went from commanding stages to needing 24-hour care. But the music never stopped; it just evolved. His story is not just about living with a chronic illness. It’s about resilience, grit, and the refusal to let circumstances define your soul.
Identity collapse and creative rebirth
The underground music hustle and what it really takes
Navigating disability, mental health, and purpose
The sacred art of reinvention
This conversation is a mirror for anyone navigating massive life change, especially those wondering who they are now.
