"I want to be a friend to the people that listen to me." That is why he chose the name and you actually feel this warmth within his music. Kota The Friend is an amazing rapper from Brooklyn, New York. Just from listening to 'To Kill A Sunrise' his most recent collaborative album with Static Selectah, his highly positive, and uplifting lyricism catches you. But at the same time he is able to reflect on the pain and suffering within "the sad reality of the United States" that we witness on the news every other day.
In this episode DJ Semtex connects with Kota The Friend to discuss the passing of DMX, the need to re-imagine the US system, the deterioration of the US police, fatherhood, and loads more.
