On this episode of The Pimp Game Podcast, DMV native Ethan Spalding shares the story behind his pioneering "Trap Rock" sound. Spalding traces his early musical influences starting with a Kool Moe Dee tape from his babysitter and his days playing buckets to earn money for congas before joining the Go-Go band TKL in the mid-90s. He reminisces about a life-changing freestyle at a block party and how college battles in Massachusetts led to his first studio recording. Now juggling musical innovation with acting roles in four films, including his self-produced "Panda Land" based on his children's book, Spalding talks about his mission to bring back rock sounds similar to Pearl Jam and Red Hot Chili Peppers. The conversation highlights his dedication to authentic expression and his advice to aspiring artists: "Don't listen to anybody but your gut" and "absolutely do you and have fun."
