This week, we're joined by Cedric Carter—also known as CEDRIC CARTER1700—a rising artist from the heart of South Central Los Angeles. A proud father of two, Cedric has been creating music for years, but 2023 marked a turning point when he began pursuing his craft with renewed purpose and passion. With raw talent and a powerful voice, Cedric writes all his own lyrics—no ghostwriters, just real stories from the soul. His journey is one of resilience, growth, and the pursuit of purpose, and he's here to share how music became both his outlet and his mission. Tune in for a powerful conversation about fatherhood, creativity, and staying true to yourself.
