LaRussell is known for a lot of things. His prolific music drops. His backyard concerts from his hometown, the “itty bitty city near the Bay,” Vallejo. And, for making a name in the world of hip hop on his own – no record deal needed. LaRussell is one of the Bay Area’s hottest musicians not just because of his talent and artistry, but also his business savvy. He is the founder of Good Compenny, a collective of independent artists. LaRussell joins us in studio for a special musical performance and to talk about growing up in Vallejo, what it means to “leave empty” and how he’s forged a career on his own terms.

Guests:

LaRussell, artist and founder, Good Compenny - an organization that promotes rising Bay Area artists.

Michael Prince, violin, Good Compenny

Kenivah Bockari, dj, Good Compenny

Simon Ajero, piano, Good Compenny
