Episode 45: The First OG
All the way from South Central, I got my guy Ecko kicking it with me on the podcast dropping all types of knowledge, stories, and truth in this week's episode. Find out how he became Freeway Rick Ross's manager, his rise as the local mixtape man in the barbershops to creating his own entertainment company and being behind the scenes of many ventures along the way.
(6:00) Mixtape Pirate: When Ecko caught his first case, that was all the motivation he needed to turn up his business acumen. Being in the Law Library taught him brand new business terminology.
(17:30) Xclusive Music: From selling music and DVDs in the barbershops, with the help of Fred Walker, Ecko got his first storefront and that place changed the game in his city. Lost Opportunities and Transitions: Little do many people know, Ecko had exclusive access to a well known local venue but that ended due to an ill-advised conversation. Then when his music store essentially became obsolete he had to make some new moves happen for himself.
(38:20) Bobby Shmurda/Rap On Trial: Bobby came home and hasn't lived up to his pre-incarceration hype. In the NY Senate politicians work with rappers to pass a law that prevents rapper lyrics to be used against them in court. Is this a great idea? Or simply a way to protect rappers that don't make good decisions?
(53:10) Freeway Rick Ross: After being reluctant to meet him, Ecko tells the story of how he became Freeway Rick's road manager. After being gone and traveling the country for the past 5 years, he doesn't regret it one bit.
(1:1100) Battle Rap World/Plug: After attending Smack/URL's Super Fight 6 event at the top of the year, Ecko was up to his networking ways and might have something up his sleeve in battle rap culture after spending years in Hip-Hop as an event promoter. Ecko Rollup - Check out Ecko's latest venture into the legal cannabis industry as he kicks some game for those interested in learning and investing! #FreewayRickRoss #Music #BattleRap #WestCoast #California #Pennsylvania #NewYork #Wisdom #OG
