Episode Details

On this episode, Teddy Swims joins Killer Mike and Bear for a wide ranging, deeply personal conversation about soul, survival, faith, fatherhood, and finding your voice.

Teddy opens up about growing up in Georgia, discovering music through church and theater, and how heartbreak, addiction, and vulnerability shaped his sound. Killer Mike connects the dots between gospel, blues, hip hop, and Southern identity, while Bear helps steer the conversation through masculinity, creativity, and what it really costs to give everything to your art.

From Pentecostal churches to touring exhaustion, from becoming a father to learning how to cry and heal in public, this episode is about purpose, emotional honesty, and carrying Southern soul into the world. Just when you think it is wrapped, Cutmaster Swiff slides in at the end for a rapid fire music breakdown that sends it home.
