In this week’s episode, I sit down with the brilliant hip hop artist, producer, and designer James ‘Homebwoi’ Maddox.

Homebwoi’s work has been featured on 10 major label albums, 2 major motion pictures, and 3 commercially released video games.

Homebwoi is also the head of product design for his company Metro Southern Media, which specializes in creative services for artists, corporate branding, and film production services.
