Who said a third time's the charm? That's definitely the case for our guest this week TOPE. He's landed on Da Den so much that we're practically best friends. So this conversation was more so of a catch up with your homie.

Listen as Tope talks his transition from Portland to Los Angeles to Oakland, why he feels like change is a good thing and we go in depth on his Some Things Gotta Change EP.
