Gorilla Nems grew up in the heart of Coney Island’s projects, surrounded by violence, addiction, and survival.

He shares what life was really like inside Rikers Island, how the streets almost killed his dreams, and the moment everything changed. From getting sober and signing a record deal to becoming a viral sensation with “Bing Bong,” this is the unfiltered journey of a true New York legend who turned pain into purpose. #GorillaNems #BingBong #ConeyIsland #RikersIsland #FromTheProjects #AddictionRecovery #ViralSensation #hiphopinterview Thank you to RIDGE for sponsoring today's episode: Upgrade your wallet today!
