The Struggle is Real (Episode #4 – AJ Jordan)

Ryan and Dennis sit down with local Rapper AJ Jordan to talk about extortion in Chicago, hype men, Juggalos, the Buffalo hip-hop scene and what drives him.

We learn the story of Ryan’s engagement/non-engagement with his now-wife, and talk about those “This isn’t what I was expecting” moments in DIY music.
