In this episode of the Portland & Park Podcast, we’re joined by Big Wiz & Schnaggy, two independent hip-hop artists who’ve been making noise in the Twin Cities for years. They take us on a deep dive into their history in the local music scene, their grind as independent artists, and the realities of coming up in the streets.

Schnaggy gets real about his childhood, growing up in poverty, and how that led him into the drug game—a path that eventually landed him behind bars. But after doing his time, he's back with a new mindset and a legalized marijuana business, proving that the hustle doesn’t stop, it just evolves.

Tap in for a raw, unfiltered conversation about music, struggle, redemption, and entrepreneurship in a game that’s always changing.
