NLE Choppa & Syd on: Baptisms, Being Too High, Mental Health & The Internet

This week, it’s a family affair at #TheShop. Steelo Brim and Travis Bennett are joined by Syd—Travis’s sister, the acclaimed artist and co-founder of The Internet—for their first-ever sit-down conversation together. They run back what their life on tour was like during their days with Odd Future. NLE Choppa also pulls up to reflect on the spiritual awakening that led him to be baptized again. They unpack how dramatically technology has changed in a single generation— the wild reality of being a celebrity in the internet era. And they get deep on how mental health affects every part of life, and the unsettling feeling of realizing you might be a little too high. 0:00 - Intro 00:50 - SYD and Choppa's Early Music Careers 04:20 - Why NLE and SYD Stopped Being Vegan 07:05 - The Difference Between Generations and Social Media 20:50 - Remembering Childhood Bullies 22:32 - It's Not Normal to Be Famous 25:53 - Working With Family 32:00 - Handling the Power of Cannabis 36:18 - NLE Choppa on Getting Re-Baptized 41:32 - The Balance Between Ego and Pride 43:53 - It's Hard to Hide From Family 47:07 - Young Taco and SYD 48:50 - Hoop Dreams 52:23 - Why Steelo Doesn't Like the Bulls 54:28 - Does It Feel Different Releasing Music Now vs. the Beginning? 59:08 - Learning to Accept Yourself See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
