This episode, Ky Richy welcomes Southern California hip-hop and R&B artists DCMBR (@DCMBROfficial) and Pofsky (@Pofsky3) to the Citrus Podcast, fresh off the road from "The Heartbreak Kid Tour" with Stephen G! The duo discusses the origins of their artist names, with Pofsky sharing his rebranding story and DCMBR explaining the wintery vibe behind his name. They talk about their Southern California roots, how the areas they grew up in influenced their music, and how they met through a mutual friend. Pofsky also dives into his work with Underground Magazine, their studio, and print issues. Both artists share insights into their recent music releases – DCMBR's "Cold Hearted" EP and Pofsky's new single "Tonight" (which dropped the day of recording!) and his EP "West Side Love Letters" with Donny Solo. They also discuss common misconceptions about being an artist, their individual songwriting processes, and finding their unique sounds.

Following their conversation, DCMBR and Pofsky deliver a smooth live performance of their collaborative track, "Tonight".
