Rap has changed a lot over the last few years. From harnessing social media to chasing record deals, and even the skill of rapping itself, artists are having to find new ways to break through. Two acts who are successfully paving their own way in this new era are The Bay Area's Symba and MAVI, out of North Carolina. The pair join Jinx to talk about being newly minted touring artists, working with the likes of Dr. Dre and Earl Sweatshirt, finding inspiration in both the successes and struggles of their respective journeys, and their unlikely chance encounter back in the day before either one of them got on. You don't wanna miss these stories.
