How does a poet become one of North Carolina's sharpest hip hop producers? 🎧 In this episode of Deeper Than Music, we sit down with Charlotte-based lyricist and producer Julian Argo to break down his incredible artistic evolution.
From his early days experimenting with poetry to crafting the raw, gritty sound that defines Charlotte's underground hip hop scene, Julian gives us an unfiltered look into his creative process. We dive into the balancing act of being both an MC and a beatmaker, how technology is changing the music industry, and why staying authentic matters more than chasing social media clout.
