How about waking up to that?
OK, how about it?
You might have come across
this on your Instagram.
Your YouTube is becoming a
phenomenon for hip hop and go
go lovers here in the area,
the front porch freestyle
sessions the local artist
Nucci has been putting out,
getting a lot of attention. Yes
it is. And this morning Randy Ayala is live
from the porch where the magic happens.
Hey Randy, this is such a huge opportunity
for not only Nucci and other artists who
are feature but just DC music as a whole.
Exactly. Ladies, good morning.
So we are live from the front porch.
If you've seen the videos,
you know how special this really is.
Not too much going on now,
but I know you see that
sign lit up behind me.
As you mentioned this is where
the magic happens or so many
people really internationally
now have seen this front porch.
Local artist Nucci came up with
this idea and some of the best in
the biz are saying this is exactly
what DC culture who really needed
to put go go on the forefront.
I was just going to just to
get my creative
juices out and the people like it.
I love it. Rapper Nucci
started these front porch
freestyles back in 2017,
but it was nothing like the full
scale production it's grown into.
It was just me and my phone
recording myself just robbing.
He was signed to Atlantic Records
at the time, but wasn't happy
and needed some place to vent.
He took it to his front porch.
I got to do something to show people
that I'm good at this.
He has some of the biggest names
in Hiphop and Go Go Braces,
NPR's Tiny Desk. But on the front
steps of his home, instead be 3
Talent right here from the DMV.
I hear you. This is just
something totally different.
Just to get on somebody's front porch.
I mean, and the neighbors not
complain. Have a good time
just to see the go go collab collabing
with the hip hop side of Washington DC,
the DMV, just showing what we can all
do as the collective group together.
People keep telling me like
it's revitalizing the city,
but it's also putting Gogo, these
official music on the international
map thanks to the wine to reach
social media has like a lot of
promises on people from Louisiana,
people from Spain, Australia,
and they talking about I like
Gogo like I'm like whoa,
like that one of my that one
of my expectation.
But I I love it.
What started as a way to showcase
his own talent has now turned
into an international movement.
What we did over here
kind of brought it back.
Not to say it went anywhere because
if people still go going, but
I just just from my point of view,
I see a lot more go, go love these days.
All right. And look who's up bright
and early with us this morning.
Nucci, thank you so much for being here.
Just talk to us about this
reach that this has had.
Because I'm sure you didn't picture this
when you first started back in 2017.
No, I didn't. I just thought of
it for fun and just because I love
hip hop and I love the music.
And once I did realize that it could
be something people actually liked it,
I definitely was focused on
getting it big like this.
That was a goal of mine,
Yeah. And I know, like your your
dad is in the music industry too.
So you knew Miss Kim.
You know, you know backyard as well.
So what's it like to have those,
you know, DC legends literally on
your front porch? Well,
luckily my dad is one way ******.
Free ****** and I grew up
around all of them. I was.
They've been around since I was a pup.
So to watch me throw into actually
artists and be able to invite
them to do something that actually
is beneficial for them and me,
it just feel good for me,
like to be able to do something with them.
Yeah, these
things are going crazy too.
On social media,
I know you drop one every Monday,
you have one coming up.
What can you tell us about
what's dropping on Monday?
On Monday, we got a very special guest.
We got Raheem Devon on Monday.
How was that? I feel like I heard
you playing that in the house.
Yeah. Was. I just got to edit back.
I just got to edit back.
So I'm very. I'm very excited
for everybody to see that one.
I didn't want to tell it,
but we here, I got excited.
You broke it live on WSA nine.
Well, what better we better
to do with that so the whole
city can TuneIn on Monday.
Raheem, Devon,
