About this listen

In this episode, hosts Cortney “Bort Bort” McCoy and Marcus Peters "Juice" kick off the show by introducing themselves and the vision behind What I’m Slappin, a show that celebrates the soundtracks of our lives through real conversations, fresh slapps, and inspiring stories.

This week’s special guest is D’Angelo “D’Lo” Louis, a director, writer, and producer from Richmond, CA, and a creative executive at Ryan Coogler’s Proximity Media. D’Lo joins the crew to talk about his award-winning short film “ShoeBox,” the powerful story behind it, and the soundtrack that brings it all to life.

In this episode:

The meaning of a “slapp” and why it’s more than just a song

New music breakdowns + throwback slapps

D’Lo on his journey from incarceration to filmmaking

The making of ShoeBox and its album Fatherhood, second chances, and paying it forward

Live performance by 4toda5to – “1/10/11”
