We’re back at CREATIVE SOUNDZ RECORDING STUDIOS, this time with owner, overall renaissance man, Grammy Award winner, Pusha Rod. Rod spoke about growing up on the East Side of South Central Los Angeles, but never allowing the negative stereotypes about his community define him, while also taking accountability for the roles he's played in his life. After spending so much of his youth involved in crime as a means of survival, Rod finally begun to embrace his artistic abilities when his friend and rapper YG gave him an ultimatum to change his life during his own ascent. Rod later leveraged his valued opinions in studio sessions with YG and Mustard as a self-proclaimed “professional homie,” into eventually becoming an A&R at Interscope Records and ended up managing his friend YG down the line. Later, we briefly spoke about Rod’s time at Interscope, finally receiving his Grammy in the mail for being a co-writer on Ella Mai’s 2018 hit Boo’d Up, what it means to be a hustler, what Rod learned from all of the different business ventures he’s been apart of and much more. Much love to Pusha Rod for allowing me into his place of business to conduct this interview and for being so transparent with me.
