It’s clear that Pell is calling in from a hotel room. He’s back in Los Angeles, wearing a Dodgers hat to match his former adopted home. Like so many, however, the pandemic brought the importance of home into stark relief for the rapper/producer. This latest trip to Southern California mostly involves moving some belongings and tying up some loose ends. The past year has found Pell sharing the spotlight as part of the Glbl Wrmng collective, fostering creativity in their hometown and raising awareness for causes like climate change. The group, like Pell himself, wear their allegiance to their roots on their sleeve, as evidenced by the hook of their first single, 504, “I'm out that 504, that's my home / Ain’t no need to ask, they know what I'm on / Baby I'm NOLA grown”
