Urban Grind Radio Ep. 10 – Ricco Lumpkins: Industry Lessons, Legendary Collabs & Longevity in the Game
In this episode, we journey from Rockford to the global stage with Ricco Lumpkins—a seasoned creative, producer, mix engineer, educator, and industry insider whose career stretches through decades and includes collaborations with icons like Outkast, TLC, Monica, Ciara, Goodie Mob, and Lauryn Hill
Ricco opens up about his musical roots, rise to success, and the hard-earned wisdom it takes to build a name in this competitive game. He’s dropping major gems on navigating studio politics, mastering evolving tech, sustaining creative relevance—even teaching the next generation at institutions like the L.A. Film School, SAE Institute Chicago, Full Sail, and the Illinois Institute of Chicago. You can follow Ricco Lumpkins on instagram @rajabangz
