Nashville hip hop is taking center stage as Sway hits the streets of Music City! In this exclusive sit down, we are joined by the legendary Starlito and the incredibly talented Tim Gent to talk about the past, present, and future of the Nashville scene. 🎤

Starlito opens up about his 23 year journey in the music industry, famously known as his Jordan year. He shares the raw truth about the transition from selling CDs out of his trunk to finding massive success as an independent artist. We dive deep into his mental health journey, his experiences with addiction, and how fatherhood has completely reshaped his approach to his craft. 💎

Plus, you do not want to miss Tim Gent stepping into the Valley of the Hyenas. He delivers a high energy freestyle that proves why he is one of the most exciting voices coming out of Tennessee right now. From discussing the new Step Brothers project with Don Trip to honoring fallen legends, this episode is a masterclass in resilience and lyricism. 🦁
