Are You A Figer-head? With DJ Dramos | My First Kicks Podcast Ep. 207

This week I am joined by z-100's own DJ Dramos, we talk about his history with kicks. Working on the breakfast club, growing up in and around New York. He shows off two pairs of kicks and tells some insightful stories about them. We also go over his motivation to start his podcast Life as a Gringo plus his pivot from being in a band to where he is now. Plus so much more!!
