Denver rapper Jakob Campbell sits down to talk about his journey from Rhythm & Flow to landing a deal with Puma, and why he approaches music as a true art form—not just a way to make money.

He breaks down how treating rap like a sport helped sharpen his pen game, why most artists today lack passion, and how putting in “10,000 hours” changed everything. Jakob also shares what it was like being in the room with legends at Verzuz, meeting Chief Keef, and building real relationships in the industry.

Beyond the music, Jakob opens up about faith, patience, and trusting God’s timing—even after setbacks like losing on Rhythm & Flow and navigating the ups and downs of the industry.

He also reveals his upcoming album “The Human Experience” and the work he’s been putting in with legendary producer Anthony Dent.

This episode is about passion, discipline, faith—and what it really takes to go global.

Chinatown Runner joins Mile High Minute for a raw conversation on his journey from a refugee camp on the Thailand–Burma border to building a music career in Denver with millions of views.

After moving to the U.S. at just 9 years old, he opens up about adapting to a new life, dealing with racism growing up, and navigating a low-income environment while finding his path.

He breaks down how he started making music in a garage, stayed consistent, and eventually turned his breakout track “Pressure” into a 3.8M+ viewed record—without paying for promotion.

The conversation dives into building an audience outside your city, staying low-key in the industry, and why networking beyond Colorado is key if you want real growth.

He also speaks on representing the Karen community, balancing culture and music, and his long-term vision as an independent artist.

If you’re an artist, creative, or entrepreneur trying to grow from nothing—this episode is packed with real perspective and strategy.

FBP Moe pulls up to Mile High Minute to break down the real story behind his breakout single “No Pressure” and how growing up in West Denver shaped his mindset, music, and movement.

From being raised by a single mother and bouncing around the city, to finding music after setbacks in football, Moe shares how adversity turned into motivation. He explains the meaning behind FBP (“Few But Plenty”), why keeping a tight circle matters, and how his family plays a key role in everything he’s building.

The conversation dives deep into:

• The emotional story behind “No Pressure” and its connection to his late cousin

• How the track blew up organically with little promotion

• His creative process (writing vs freestyling)

• Building a name in Denver’s music scene

• Upcoming releases, shows, and collaborations

• Why authenticity matters more than anything in music

This episode is about pain, loyalty, and turning real-life experiences into something the world can feel.
