Kevin Bludso discussed his plans for the potential expansion of Bludso's BBQ into the south, particularly Texas. With a drive that saw him working for eight years without a day off, Kevin speaks of the challenges linked to running a thriving restaurant chain, emphasizing the importance of feedback and testing his dishes on his family before the public. The discussion also delves into his upbringing, which was influenced by the vibrant music scene in Compton. Kevin recalls his interactions with key figures, including Eazy-E, and being part of the tight-knit community that knew and supported each other. He credits West Coast rap, specifically N.W.A, with saving the rap genre, believing it to be instrumental in gaining respect for the West Coast sound and sparking a shift in DJing and music sampling.
