André 3000, LeBron James, Sexyy Red, Jerry Lorenzo on Nerves, Haters & Out of Body Experiences

Legends, innovators and stars from the new generation. Everybody pulls up to The Shop.

For episode 7, we got a very special group together. Andre 3000, LeBron James, Sexyy Red, Jerry Lorenzo, Jiaoying Summers, and Nigel Sylvester sit down with Maverick Carter and Paul Rivera for an unforgettable conversation. Andre discusses the early days of Outkast and the Dungeon Family, the legacy of Rico Wade, his love for the flute and a lot more. LeBron talked about aspiring to be something greater when growing up, his favorite Andre verses ever and having out-of-body experiences on the court. Sexyy breaks down how she first started rapping, how she deals with nerves before hitting the stage and the importance of timing. Jerry talks about the how his faith drives his creativity and decision-making, not wanting people to put a label on him and more. Jiaoying hilariously gives us insight into her comedy style, how she got her start and performing at The Apollo. Nigel talks coming up in Queens, New York, when he first found his love of bicycle riding and how he approaches brand-building.

This is where culture shapes up.
