Art has many different forms. This next guest gives us a look into his life and the process that it took to get right here. Like many artists we dive into multiple lanes of creativity and we put them on display for the world to see. I remember Mostrill Mike when he was a young graphic designer before the clothing brand and the music so this interview was just a reintroduction to the life of the young entrepreneur. We talk about how he managed to get his brand on BET and in the hands of 7 time NFL All Pro defensive tackle Aaron Donald, of the Los Angeles Rams. Not only has Mike blossomed in the fashion world he also puts some of his newly released music on display for the world to see. Its always dope to see a young artist break out of their imaginary shell and tap into different lanes. For a more in depth view of Mostrill Mike listen to the full podcast. 

In the hood alot of times we hear that you either can sell r*** or have a mean jumpshot. Well what if i told you our next guest wouldnt have either? What if I told you his music career blew up after a remix to Wack Jumper where he's surrounded Static team members. Not only that he plays football for Howard, hence the episode title (Gotta Ball Regardless). In this episode we speak about the desire to win on and off the field and how his late father enspired him to do so. From watching his dad rap in studios in the Homewood area to showing up to his Youth and High school football games at Woodland Hills. Music must run in the family because throughout the interview we speak about more songs that has been released by Shifty that has the Static team performing locally at the moment. To hear in depth what we speak about tap in.

Today we have Pittsburgh's own Chucc Global. Who would have known that an interview to promote his latest album would start with us speaking on the importance fatherhood and the affects of present and absent fathers? We could have honestly spoke on that topic for hours but we redirected the conversation to music, and his to be exact. While speaking about the project we end up talking about producers who has placements on the album both local and national. Chucc Global gives a unique perspective on hip hop in and outside the city of Pittsburgh and gives roses to the ones who helped on his rise. We always end our interviews with a gem given by the artist, so tap in to hear more about Chucc Global.

I brought Yane to the podcast to have our first sit-down with a singer ever. What type of questions would I ask? What would she be willing to answer? Well needless to say we covered her childhood passion for art in music form, while gradually leaning into her passion for fashion. 1 thing that I have noticed about artists, the talent that catches are eyes are never the only talent that they possess. Yane reveals that she has no ghostwriter and that lyrics that she uses may or may not be about her but her passion for story-writing helps the writing process. This episode was a leap of faith on both ends but we made it happen.

Today we interview Grimey Productionz, a photographer who also does videography. We go back to 6th grade where we first became friends all the way up until now. As many other artists his path started with being creative, from stealing gospel tapes and recording raps songs over them to using the family computer to record himself and others. Nowadays he's less into music production but thats just another step in his journey that we speak about during this episode.

Grimey Joins the Parking Lot Pod to discuss the recent school shootings and also grocery store shootings. Black and Brown ppl are usually the victims and the shooters share similarities. But why? Who’s to blame? In order to lighten up the Pod we congratulate the Golden State Warriors on another NBA Finals appearance and our Finals predictions.
