In this episode, I interview Orlando "Zeps" Molina, the author of the hip hop children's book series, Rhymosaurs. Growing up in Brooklyn and later moving to Stockton, Zeps shares his inspiring journey from freestyle rap enthusiast to published author. He takes us back to his early days, discovering the art of rhyme and rhythm in the streets of New York, and how that passion led him to an exciting career at Audible.

Zeps opens up about how his unique blend of hip hop and storytelling resulted in the Rhymosaurs book series. But that’s not all! Zeps treats listeners to an exclusive freestyle, inspired by "The 209 Journey," showcasing his talents as both an MC and a storyteller. From performing on stage to publishing books on Amazon, he continues to break new ground in the world of hip hop and education.
