Just over a year ago, I was fortunate enough to spend about 30 minutes on the phone with Bay Area wordsmith, Locksmith. I reached out after catching him live at the Kava Lounge in hopes of having him on as a guest for SDLovesHipHop's weekly #WestCoastWednesday interview series. Lock said yes, and THIS was the result. Well, with Locksmith's permission, I wanted to release the audio from the interview for Episode 2 of the SDLovesHipHop Podcast, especially because Lock and friends (including Odessa Kane, 18Scales, and Miki Vale) will be rocking at The Merrow on April 26th! GET TIX HERE. As I write this, I'm listening to Lock's most recent release,&nbsp;Olive Branch, and getting excited about you having access to what was initially just a step in creating a written piece, and to having the interview come off of the "page". Enjoy.

Just before his Bar1ne and Friends DJ-based party at The Music Box in downtown San Diego, DJ Bar1ne took a little time out to share his journey with GoodVibeSD and SDLovesHipHop.com.

Enjoy. ...and if it's still Friday, May 19th, then there is still time for you to get tickets and head down the The Music Box and join us for one of SD's biggest parties of 2018.
