Icewear Vezzo on The Jay Hill Podcast

Description

Icewear Vezzo joins The Jay Hill Podcast for a revealing conversation about leaving the streets behind, fatherhood, marriage, money, Detroit, business, generational wealth and why he can proudly say today, *“I don’t live my raps.”* Vezzo has built the career, made the money and created businesses, but his definition of success is changing. Today, he says the next level isn't simply making more money. It's having enough freedom to spend more time with his wife, children and himself. That evolution also changed the way he views his past. Vezzo explains that the experiences in his music are real, but they don't represent the life he's currently living. After losing his cousin shortly before he was supposed to return home from federal prison and later becoming a father, Vezzo began realizing he had too much to lose to continue living by the same rules that once helped him survive. He also opens up about learning to make music sober, trying to clean up his image after signing with Motown, and eventually realizing that growth didn't require him to erase his past.
