Episode NLE Choppa & Syd on: Baptisms, Being Too High, Mental Health & The Internet
This week, it’s a family affair at #TheShop. Steelo Brim and Travis Bennett are joined by Syd—Travis’s sister, the acclaimed artist and co-founder of The Internet—for their first-ever sit-down conversation together. They run back what their life on tour was like during their days with Odd Future. NLE Choppa also pulls up to reflect on the spiritual awakening that led him to be baptized again. They unpack how dramatically technology has changed in a single generation— the wild reality of being a celebrity in the internet era. And they get deep on how mental health affects every part of life, and the unsettling feeling of realizing you might be a little too high.
