In this episode, I interview the hometown homie Nel P Arts, a talented painter whose created pieces for Big K.R.I.T., Bankroll Freddie, and, most famously, her Nipsey Hussle chalk art featured on The Shade Room. In this episode, Nel talks about documenting history through art, creating with multiple media, being an unconventional painter, and a hilarious story of presenting her painting to rapper Big K.R.I.T. while toothless.
