BANG! @southernvangard #radio presents the BUB ROCK interview session!

BANG! @southernvangard #radio presents the JAH-MONTE interview session! This Queen City MC has been toiling away in the underground for a number of years, yet has only now begun to receive national and global acclaim after a rebrand of sorts. A name change from KING CALLIS and few tweaks to the content and overall approach has made all the difference in the world, as 2019 and 2020 have been very g...
