Rap Radar Podcast: Sickamore

There aren't too many mixtape DJs that have transitioned from the streets to label suites. But since 2014, Sickamore has served as Vice President of A&R and Creative Director at Epic Records. More recently, the Brooklyn native curated Travis Scott's chart topper 'Birds In The Trap Sing McKnight' and YG 'Still Brazy'. In this lengthy chat, Sick discusses his mixtape origins, A&R roles, Nicki Minaj, Bill Clinton, photography and more.
