In this episode of DEHH: The Listening, we sit down with the one and only Curtiss King—artist, producer, YouTuber, and all-around creative force. From building a loyal fanbase without major label backing to navigating burnout, branding, and the realities of being a content creator in 2025, Curtiss pulls back the curtain and keeps it 100.

We dive deep into the creative process, the state of hip-hop culture, and what it really means to be an independent creator in today’s digital space. Whether you’ve been rocking with Curtiss since the early days or just found him through his viral content, this convo is packed with gems, laughs, and real insight.

This is DEHH: The Listening—where we go beyond the music and tap into the minds shaping the culture.
