Season 12 Episode 4

DRAGG ‪@DRAGGOFFICIAL‬ has been releasing music for around 12/13 years now; a brand of sparse, West Coast-y hip hop, tinged with RnB and soul, all the time showing a progressive approach and high degree of emotional intelligence in the subject matter and how to connect with his audience.
His story is remarkable, not least because he lost his sight early in his life…but he has navigated the many obstacles he has faced with persistence and resilience, wearing his heart on his sleeve as the saying goes. He’s made some really telling statements on some of the real challenges of being an artist in 2024. And he’s done it in front of camera as well for the hellscape that is social media, which always gives me a feeling of awe! His latest 8 track album, Mixed Feelings, came out in April 2024 and it is another sonic progression and features a rich bunch of collaborators - for no particular reason, I’m just gonna mention Fernando Perez’s delicious -I think Spanish - guitar on the album’s wonderful closer Blue Dreams which ends with “If you love something, let it go….but what if it doesn’t come back?”
