The Freedom Renegades, have been blowing shit up on Instagram and TikTok, with viral videos of classic hip-hop instrumentals underneath their powerful original lyrics. They're bringing back the lyrical genius of old-school hip-hop and I got to check in with them to see just exactly what the secret to their seemingly overnight success was. Spoiler alert, it's no secret. You gotta put in the reps.
 
Tune in for a deep look at:

• Their climb to success on TikTok  
• What it took for them to break out of small-town America (*hint* it's got a lot to do with the sweat of discipline and an unwavering dedication to their craft) 
• What makes them spread positivity through every beat and bar
• The life of a farm kid and how that played into their unwavering perseverance
• How prison helped shape Emcee Monkey D's health and wellness practices
• Their mindfulness practices and the differences between their definitions of "meditation"

This was a heck of a lot of fun to host these two legends, and I'm excited to see what the next 6 months bring them. Their dedication to the craft is admirable and I'm very excited for you all to meet two of my new friends, Holistic Meditation and Emcee Monkey D. Their bringing the old-school back.
