The first interview in over a decade where BOTH Louis Logic and J.J. Brown are together! What started in a GAP clothing store, while in college, turned into a life long friendship that has birthed classic albums -- they now find themselves drenched in the troughs of Silicon Valley, fatherhood, sobriety, DJing and getting out of their own laundry basket and still conveying some sincerity in this sick, sad world. So spend an hour with me and the boys as we cover all things life, love and music!

Ric Chavez is a legend, plain and simple. The Los Angeles artist has done it all, between serving our country, working and serving on non-profits, putting in work for the FiveSeven Collective or somehow squeezing out music, Ric Chavez is leaving an imprint.
