In this episode, we dive into the complexities of growing up in the hood and how it shapes individuals' paths in life. We explore whether people truly have a choice or if they're simply products of their environment, and how the mentality of the streets often sticks with you, even when you leave. The discussion touches on hustling for survival, the pressure to succeed, and the stigma attached to being from certain zip codes. We also confront how people from these backgrounds are more likely to end up behind bars and whether that’s a reflection of their surroundings or societal failures. Balancing survival, dignity, and ambition, this conversation digs deep into what it really means to "make it out" and whether escaping the hood mentally is even possible.
