Hip Hop Culture & Finding Balance (ft. Raw Proof)

Josh Marinko (a.k.a. Raw Proof) is a Nashville-based hip hop artist who has spent decades immersed in the culture. Growing up as a military child, Josh lived all over the country before establishing roots in Tennessee, and has witnessed the massive changes that have taken place in Nashville and the music industry at large.

Today, we talk about those changes (and how we’ve adapted), the importance of building community, and the ways we find balance in the midst of the creative grind.
