He reflects on personal growth, protecting his peace, and balancing creativity while navigating life and the music industry.

2-17 also speaks on his relationship with Bankroll Fresh, filming the legendary “Walked In” music video, and watching the record eventually go platinum years later. He also reflects on filming Bankroll Fresh’s funeral service and shares stories from one of the most important eras in Atlanta hip-hop history.
