If it ’ s one thing Pensacola has no shortage of , it ’ s musicians . From experimental bedroom musicians to the atmospheric and harrowing local band Pioneers O ’ Pioneers , music can be found all over the place .
Local hip-hop , however , has barely gotten a nod but it is not without its staples . Artist Big Lo is a veteran of local hip-hop and has been organizing showcases for years . Now , out of Pensacola ’ s humble locale , a fresh , new voice has recently emerged and has been heard and well-received in places as far as Washington D . C . and Los Angeles .
We at FIVE caught up with this young , Pensacola-based artist and his collaborator to talk about the finer points of music making , life experiences and music ’ s personal and universal impact .
