It's time to run it back with our good friend Artz. If you caught the first interview we had with this brother and have continued to follow his progress since then you know that he is the ultimate hustler when it comes to the independent artist scene. From headlining some major events across the nation and even overseas to dropping some major heat since we were last together, this brother is putting in that work. It was great to hear what he's been up to since we were last together cause back then he was pushing the NFT's but he's since evolved from that as any great hustler would to new ventures.

The head of the Reject Dreamers kicks a lot of game and provides guidance that all up and coming artist should sit down and listen to. Artz gives us his Top 5 cities he enjoyed most while touring and performing and gives us some funny stories of his experience. We had to grab our passports for one our segments we like to do Called Searching For Artz. Good times, good vibes as always!!

We pick up where we left off last week and discuss Meeko's final scene as Mouse in the hit HBO Show Euphoria. He gets into the perks of being affiliated to such a big series but also the disadvantages that come with it and opens up on how he prepares for a role when he's given a script. We get the origin story of the name Meeko Gattuso which is surprising how it came about but also displays the power of words. If there is one thing you will get out of these conversations we've had with Meeko and his transparency to break down the film industry is, how bad do you really want it? To make it in this game you most definitely have to put that ground work in and be optimistic.

As we continue on with Cassidy he shares his experience dealing with a life threatening car accident that put him in a coma for a couple of days and caused him to temporarily lose his memory after just beating an attempted murder case. After recovering he went back and completed his third and final album under Full Surface called "B.A.R.S."

We did one of our favorite segments Bars With Cassidy and saw if he could remember the name of the songs on the bars that Erupt selected for him and he went beyond that and even rapped the classic verses all the way through. Right after that we get an exclusive Show N Prove Performance from Cassidy and he shows why he is still one of the nicest out today. We stumped him a little with our new segment called Hip Hop Roulette but as we all like to do as fans we learned something new today about our history.

Make sure ya go and tap into his catalog cause he has a lot of new music out there that most haven't heard yet that they should. There's three recent projects he dropped in a 6 month time span titled Da Science, Da Formula and Da Wiseman that are filled with lyrics hooks and dope production. Off camera he played us some crazy unreleased joints that we are anticipating he drops sooner than later cause he's got some big hits coming.

We want to salute Cassidy for rocking with the Advocates and sharing some great stories for our viewers to enjoy.
