In Episode 2 of the Buss It Down Podcast, ItsDC4 and ATM BEZZAL sit down with the multi-talented Paper Pat—a hip-hop artist, engineer, and host based out of San Diego. Paper Pat opens up about his journey into the music industry, sharing how he got his start, the challenges he’s faced, and his experiences organizing local performance shows that spotlight emerging talent.

This episode takes an inspiring turn as Paper Pat discusses his battle with cancer—not once, but twice—and how it shaped his mantra #StayAlive, a call for people, especially Black men, to prioritize their health and well-being.

We also dive into the local and national music scenes, reviewing tracks and music videos from D5, Lil Bandman, Lil Baby, and Memphis artist Big Moochie Grape, unpacking their impact and artistry. Paper Pat even treats listeners to a live performance of his hit single, “I’m the Man or What.”

To top it off, we take a deep dive into the classic movie Set It Off (1996), exploring its cultural significance, themes, and lessons that still resonate today.

Tune in for a powerful episode filled with music, insight, and raw authenticity.
