Late Night With Ride or Die

I couldn't think of anyone better to spend an hour with in April, than Waiting 4 April! (I'll be here all week folks.)  If you're on TikTok a bunch like I am, you've probably seen Colton pop up your For You page plenty of times.  I mean as I'm writing this, he has over 80k followers on it!  After sending him some clothes and exchanging some messages, I knew I had to have him on the show.  We talked about everything from his new musical project Waiting 4 April, to his newfound fame on Tik ok.  Make sure to follow him at @waiting4april on social media!!

Back again with a HOT and new episode!!  I spoke with vocalist Brandon of the rock band Kawaii AF.  This episode is my first with a musical artist, and it couldn't be a better start.  One thing that interested me about this band was their sudden rise of popularity, dedicated fanbase, and contagious charisma.   With this being one of the most energetic shows in a while, we spoke at LENGTHS about the current music scene and taking advantage of an aspect of the music industry that many have laughed off (but I think of it as absolute genius.)  Making playful skits on social media platforms such as, Tik Tok (love it or hate it) they're absolutely killing it, and garnering the attention of music/merchandise giants such as Hopeless Records and Hot Topic.  Make sure to check out their music and their super enthusiastic posts on, @kawaiiaf_official.

WE'RE BACK!!!!  After a long break focusing on some back end things, I got to sit down with my amazing friend Mikey Lince.  We met during quarantine through our mutual friend Julian (The Cozy Representative) and soon realized how much we both have in common.  Mikey is one of the guys that runs an amazing up and coming podcast/YouTube channel/Instagram called, To All The Crowded Rooms, where he interviews musicians of all genres, and anyone involved in the culture he loves.  Mikey is no stranger to culture/business either, with his cousin being Marky Capicotto (Glamour Kills), the man is a seasoned veteran, and has seen first hand, the trials and tribulations of running your own company.  We covered a lot in this one, with this being the longest episode I've released so far.  Think of it as a double feature hehe.  Don't be a loser and please go check out @ToAllTheCrowdedRooms RIGHT NOW!!!

In this Episode, I sit down with my one of my favorite people and irl best friend, Julz or as he's known professionally (Kobra.)  Julz has been there for me through thick n thin, and was a major reason I was inspired to keep pursuing clothing as a career.  We've always had a shared appreciation for good rap music and music production (i played in bands for many years.)  After attending to the same high school, it was only a matter of time before we ended up becoming so close.  Julz started his project Kobra fairly recently, and for only being 19 years old, I'm still amazed how talented he is at times, and I want to share that to the world.  This is very much a, "bro episode"  so I don't wanna spoil too much of it!

In this Episode, I sit down with Mikie Mayo, an amazingly experimental hyperpop artist from Philly.  After exchanging some direct messages over instagram, i slowly realized how much we truly had in common, and knew that i had to have him on the show.   Mikie believes going all out and having fun, is an integral part of making music, as do i.  If you took one listen to his new track, "I Miss When Emo Songs Had Really Long Titles,'  you'll completely understand what i'm saying.  His experimental style and work ethic is extremely inspiring and its always excitied speaking to someone on the same wavelength as you. 

We talk about growing up and going to small shows in our local scenes, the new wave of Chad-Punk (MGK) and Rollercoasters! Get in some comfy pajamas, make some coffee with a lil cream n sugar, and spend a Late Night With Ride or Die. 

In this Episode, I sit down with my high school inspiration and old friend Sergio, or as most people know him professionally, Yeyo.  Yeyo and i go way back to 2014, and uncover the magic of the infantile streetwear scene at the time.  Memories of our Fairfax and La Brea dreams, and the powerful influence that era had for us.  Yeyo has an amazingly unique brand, with some of the finest quality garments you can find on the market today.  After a short break for a couple years, he's back making some of his most promising items yet.  We uncover his introduction to the streetwear scene and the rise and growth of his YeyoLosAngeles.  Thank you Yeyo for the years of support, and the major marks you've made on me as a mentor.  

Shout out to Backside Records, we miss you dearly.
