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.

We kicked off our Paid In AmeriKKKa Tour in Augusta, Ga last month. After a successful show we headed back to the hotel and sometime around 4 or 5 am after making some beats, I decided to hit record in the middle of a conversation with Westside Jimi, DiV.W and J-Coop.
