Shownotes
The crew opens this one up with Chicago natives Prince Dre and Pistol Po in the building, and it's real talk from the jump as they break down what trapping in Chicago actually looks like from the inside (0:00) before getting into the come-up story and how the streets shaped their perspective on the music game (8:30). The conversation shifts as they detail the journey to signing with Lil Durk and what that deal really meant for their careers (18:00), then the guys get into the business side of rap and navigating the industry while staying true to where they came from (27:45). Also, the Gucci Mane versus Pooh Shiesty situation gets addressed and both Prince Dre and Pistol Po give their unfiltered take on where that beef stands (36:00), and the crew digs into street credibility in rap and whether artists today are really living what they're rapping about (44:30). The episode wraps with final thoughts on Chicago's place in hip-hop right now and what's next for both artists (55:00). Real, raw, and no fluff — this one's for the streets.
