Sad Boys For Real! Chicago DJ/Activist/Creator, HotRod, slides to PVTSTCK to discuss his recent move to WGCI, importance of building creative community in Chicago, mental health struggles after losing father, and more! In the song, "Turn To You," Justin Bieber says, "when you’re lost and you’re tired / When you’re broken in two / Let my love take you higher/ 'Cause I still turn to you..." Even at the peak of his father's sickness Hotrod turned to his father for guidance. His father set the standard for who he hoped he could be, and it has shown through his value in being a parent. Hotrod has turned his grind up knowing he has to provide for his family, and has established himself as not only a pillar in Chicago, but the music community. Breaking countless records (Yung MA "OOOUUU," Jack Harlow "What's Poppin") & starting his own company, Peprally Takeover. Also discussed, starting playlists, helping artists breakthrough, and growing as a person/creative.
