Closing out our Part 1, On The Road section of Season 4, The Lingo links up with Harlem Repping rapper, Shuttleboy. 

Knowing O from high school, we start with some reminiscing and it all begins with how music making was never expected from Shuttleboy and how Travis Scott and Kid Cudi became huge musical and personal inspirations and influences on his own journey. 

We then go into his college experience at SUNY Broome and how amidst all the bullshitting of college, he gets real vulnerable with us discussing how self-doubt and familial let downs had the ability to put him in a less than negative mindset, the "lowest point in his life" but also the greatest. College threw him, as it does most of us, into a pit of depression but the music was in a way, his saving grace. 

After our discussion of college and Shuttleboy's found love for music (Cudi and his own), we speak about the portion of his life where him and his family moved to Reading, PA. The school he went to was comprised of gangs and infamous brawls. He speaks on the first time he experienced one in an elevator with two teachers and some students who came on; and once those students got on they got in and announced "BRAWL TIME, BRAWL TIME, BRAWL TIME!" and these teachers started swinging on the kids! There is so much to unpack there but tune in to hear the ridiculousness that is the experiences of this school. 

We then go into how he got serious with his music and how one of his first recorded songs, which never dropped, is what lit the serious spark; which lays a beautiful path into a music convo about albums and projects.

To close us out as always, we have a Lingo Talk with The Lingo and the Harlem native gives us a couple, jiggy (very HARLEM), kizzy and a few more but you gotta tune in to hear his faves. 

Once again much love to our guests from all of part 1.
