Even though they went to revel schools where violence and gang activity was constantly around them, they found a way to build a bond and become close friends at an early age in life. Due to their upbringing being so rough, they stuck together through their love for entertainment, as they both were apart of a local dance group in Chicago.

On this episode of DAB, Tun sits down with Los Angeles native, who's a Hip Hop Musician, Song Writer, and Entrepreneur who goes by the name "Niko G4". We start our conversation with Niko talking about his upbringing, and how it was growing up in the inner city of LA. We discuss his journey of finding his own style and way to fit into society without conforming to the pressures that come from the influences in his environment. Niko tells us how having a positive role model like his older brother, kept him on a straighten path towards success and figuring out what he wanted to do in life. With Niko attending Fairfax High School, and having a unique set of friends and a reputation in the city for being one of the "Cool Guys", it gave him the momentum he needed to now pursue rapping and making music full time. After Niko graduated from High School, he was blessed with a major opportunity to do his first ever feature on a song with a legendary Los Angeles Hip Hop Artist by the name of Dom Kennedy. That song that he did with Dom Kennedy would later be featured on a classic hip hop album called "The Yellow Album".
