In this episode of In My Humble Opinion, we sit down with Houston’s own God Body Bingo for a conversation that moves from heartbreak to hustle. He opens up about losing his father and how that loss continues to influence his art and path forward. We dig into the high of being selected for a writers’ camp on Issa Rae’s Rap Sh!t and what that opportunity taught him about writing for television and collaboration.
We also take a hard look at the streaming economy: after releasing what became his most streamed album ever, the numbers didn’t equate to the financial returns he expected. We explore whether putting music online is still worthwhile for independent artists, what the revenue models really look like, and what lessons he’s learned from that experience. Finally, Bingo shares what’s next — what he’s working toward, the risks he’s embracing, and the vision he has for the next phase of his career.
Tune in to hear the man behind the music, the business, and the burden — and how he’s turning everything into fuel.
