25 YEARS LATER… John Hampson from Nine Days (yes, THE voice behind “Absolutely (Story of a Girl)”) joins Harlan on Sole Free for a no-holds-barred, nostalgic, and hilarious convo you won’t believe. From the sneakers he never got as a kid to the moment he unboxed his first major label deal, it’s a full-circle ride through music history, fatherhood, and surviving the industry — all with some pizza, blisters from Air Jordans, and a few conspiracy theories about South of the Border 😳🍕👟


🔥 Sneakerheads + Y2K music fans, this one’s for YOU.

👟 DMC-blessed Adidas? Check.

🎸 90s rock stories? Yup.

🤣 Real talk on parenting, road trips, and Nashville pizza wars? All in.

🎤 Live performances of ““Absolutely (Story of a Girl)” & “If I Am!”
