Summary

Today on A Waste of Time with ItsTheReal, Day 3 of #12DaysOfPodcasts, we welcome Upscale Vandal to the Upper West Side! For all the people who've been dying to know what exactly it is that he does for a living, we finally, finally find out! We talk about growing up in Brooklyn and Queens, to hustling in the streets, to rocking the dopest gear, lacing his car, and brandishing weapons, to getting locked up, to getting advice from the legendary DJ Clark Kent, who set him on the path he continues on to this day. We talk about his work with Pharrell and BBC, his work with Emory Jones and Jay Z and Roc Nation, his hands-on work with brands and style and fashion, and French Montana, Pusha T, J. Balvin and more, all while never selling out, and always maintaining the same cool he had as a kid.
