The Athlete's Playlist: Lofa Tatupu

The Athlete’s Playlist is back with Lofa Tatupu, a guest who captured the hearts of the Seattlites playing the other kind of football. A self-described overweight kid who got his “ass kicked on the field,” Lofa speaks to the vision and determination that carried him from an under-recruited high school prospect to a national champion at the University of Southern California and a three time Pro Bowler with the Seahawks. He also discusses his current venture ZoneIn, a CBD startup offering full spectrum hemp products that have been pivotal to his wellness post-football.    From a prophetic encounter with Cypress Hill as a pre-teen to drawing inspiration from Tupac and Young Jeezy, Lofa shares the music that shaped his journey.
