Washed Gods. Washed. Never Washed Up. More pod for ya head top. Lots of “views from the 6” on this one. We got the chance to chop it up with the talented and opinionated Freako Rico. He’s done everything from album covers, to sneakers, collaborations with your favorite rappers, & more. 

We talked about his roots as a kid on the Eastside of Atlanta. How he cultivated his artistic abilities in a space where everyone wasn’t as receptive. 

The people who helped groom him for the “Creative Lifestyle”.

How he traveled from Atlanta to DC for college and eventually made his way up to New York to absorb the culture and pursue a job as an illustrator.

What made him come back to the A and how it continued to cultivate his style & cementing himself into the street art scene here in the city. 

We asked about a few of his collaborations with artists & brands. And how he doesn’t want to work with labels or rappers if he can help it. Lots of game on this episode.  Big thanks to Freako for pulling up & hanging out with the Gods of The Pods. Follow him on social media @freakorico (IG).
