This week on Hidden Gems Radio, Kaptain Marvelous & Professor Knox sit down with New Jersey underground hip-hop artist Pootie for a conversation about music, creativity, overcoming obstacles, video games, visual art, and finding your own identity as an independent artist.
Pootie breaks down what his name really means:
Progressively Overcoming Obstacles Through Instrumental Enlightenment.
We get into the story behind that philosophy, his early use of a mask to overcome stage fright, and how he eventually learned to perform without hiding behind it.
We also talk about:
