Gorilla Zoe Breaks Down How Hip-Hop Controls Pop Culture

Courtesy of Pe$o, VladTV offers this exclusive with Gorilla Zoe in which he speaks on how he fell into the rap game, the influence hip hop has on pop culture, his tatts and more.

Gorilla Zoe begins by explaining how his career as a rapper began, saying, "As crazy as it sounds, I didn't wake up one day and was like 'You know what, I want to be a rapper.'" The "Hood Figga" rapper goes on to share that he never "studied" the requirements to become a "dope artist." He then confides how he started making music.
