Jose Guapo sits down for a raw Hood Affairs conversation about loss, loyalty, and legacy.
In this interview, Guapo speaks on losing his brother and father, why he refuses to profit off family death, and how Son of a Giant became more than just a project. He breaks down his alter egos, dropping his label, industry politics, beat selection, and his long-standing relationship with Metro Boomin.
This isn’t internet talk or industry hype — this is real Atlanta perspective, street wisdom, and legacy talk from someone who’s lived it and survived it.
Son of a Giant: Forever B-Shot (Legacy Vol. 1) drops January 30 on free platforms.
Hood Affairs — real conversations. No scripts. No cap.
