Jon Dough, Latin American artist from Elizabeth, NJ joins, Curtis Mack to discuss his passion for music. Jon is currently down south to regroup from the harsh surroundings of the urban environment he grew up in. He isn’t going to let the streets get the best of him. Now that he’s started a family and put in some sweat-equity in the studio, he’s ready to get out there and hit the upper east coast once more, but this time with a mission to succeed and spread positivity through music. Mack samples one of Jon’s latest ‘party tracks’ early in the conversation as they catch up and discuss old v.s. new hip-hop and how the game has changed.

“Music means everything to me, it’s tatted on my arm” – Jon Dough.

Philadelphian Poet/Hip Hop Artist, Andre Saunders - Joins Curtis Mack in the studio to discuss his new project, Moments (available on anywhere you stream music). Saunders is looking to get his message heard by more than just his hometown of Philly (s/o E-A-G-L-E-S). “You have to sit down and vibe to the album” says Saunders and you’ll get that feel when you hear: 1522 Forever (#5 on the album) we play the entire track because it really defines his story.

We chat on how to capitalize on skill that comes naturally, professionalizing it and then monetizing it. Wright is aiming to make an impact on the world of art through his original HQ photo-shoots and relatable songs. He is attempting to reach photographers and those in hitting it a little rough.
