In this episode, we sit down with the talented and grounded King Philip , an artist, entrepreneur, and creative force from Dorchester.We trace his beginnings in music, sparked by his cousin making beats, and a pivotal moment performing in front of a packed school auditorium at a young age , a spark that ignited a lifelong passion. But along with that passion came hardship: around the same time, King Philip’s childhood home tragically burned down. He shares how that trauma shaped him early on, and how he found strength in moving forward and rebuilding mentally and emotionally.King Philip opens up about the foundation his household provided with both parents, strong siblings, and role models who kept him focused and gave him no excuse not to succeed. We also dive into the origin of his name "King Philip" and the deeper meaning it carries.Fast-forward to today, he’s building his own legacy: launching his media company Scholar Visions, stepping into real estate, and continuing to craft powerful stories through music and film. Be sure to check out his latest project “Dorchester Forever”, now streaming everywhere, along with the accompanying documentary available on his YouTube channel.This is a raw, inspiring conversation about resilience, roots, and rising above.Timestamps:00:00 - Introduction01:30 - Roll Up Segment / Vices 03:30 - Studio Life / Making Music07:00 - The Start Of Music / Art12:00 - Collaboration / Teamwork14:00 - Childhood19:00 - Origins To The Name " King Philip"22:00 - Journeys 33:00 - Real Estate4000 - Dominicans 41:00 - Politics 45:00 - Overcoming48:00 - S.Dot (Sex, Drugs & Other Things) SPONSORS:🧢 AUG – A local streetwear brand repping Lawrence, MA.Shop now at www.shopaug.com💸 Use code WAW for 10% off your order — just for being a part of our community.🌱 Mission Dispensary – Located in Georgetown, MA.They’ve got the best products and even better people.Stop by, support local, and tell them Where Are We sent you.
