Welcome to another episode of the Dope Individuals Only Podcast! We've got an incredible story to share with you today that's all about bouncing back and finding inspiration, no matter how tough life gets. Join us as we catch up with Lathia Marquez, who used to go by Sleepie Da Kid. He's been through some rough times, including spending 11 years out of his 31 on this planet behind bars. But guess what? He's out now and he's making his comeback as a free man. In this heart-to-heart conversation, we're diving deep into Lathia's life journey. We'll talk about the tough times he faced growing up, the challenges of being locked up, and how he found the strength to turn it all around. But the story doesn't stop there. Lathia's also a dad, and we're getting real about what it means to be a good father. We'll share our thoughts on fatherhood, the lessons we're passing down, and the importance of family in shaping our lives. And for all you music lovers out there, get ready for a trip down memory lane. Lathia and I go way back and we've created music together. We'll chat about the music he made as a teenager and how he's grown as an artist over the years. But the coolest part? We're not just talking to ourselves here. We're speaking directly to the younger generation, offering some friendly advice on how to tackle life's challenges and avoid ending up on the wrong side of the law. So, whether you're facing your own challenges, digging music, or just looking for some real talk, this episode's for you.
