  • 183 - Bari Bandz Interview | Pure Rap Network

    We got a dope hip-hop artist & entrepreneur straight outta Daygo (San Diego) — Bari Bandz in the building!

    If you look up consistency, you might just see Bari Bandz next to it. From building his own brand IMOBTALK ENT. to staying active with his music, he’s been putting in serious work.

    In 2026 alone, Bari’s been on a run — dropping tons of singles, performances, and music videos, plus his project “Street Therapy” earlier in the year. And he’s not slowing down, with his latest album “Daygo State of Mind Vol. 2” released on July 24th — out now on all platforms. Links are in the description… we do the hard work for you!

    In this interview, we dive into Bari’s upbringing, his relationship with music growing up, and what inspired him to turn it into a career. We also talk about the difference between creating music in the studio versus performing on stage, and how he continues to evolve as an artist.

    Beyond the music, Bari breaks down his brand IMOBTALK ENT. — from starting the clothing line to building something bigger than just music.

    We also hit him with our Off The Dome questions — from life perspectives to what he enjoys outside of music (including his green thumb and love for basketball 👀).

    Tap in for a real, grounded conversation with an artist who represents the grind, the city, and the culture the right way.

  • 179 - Growing Up Biracial (Black & White), Real Talk & Random Hypotheticals W/ Redd The Exec - Ep. 89

    Pure Rap Podcast Episode 89 featuring special guest Redd the Exec 🎙️In this episode, we dive into a real and meaningful conversation about our backgrounds and experiences being biracial (Black & White) — sharing perspectives, stories, and the realities that come with it.

    From there, the conversation takes its natural course — touching on everything from current events to wild hypotheticals and everyday life topics.

    We talk about the BAFTA Film Awards Sinners Outburst, debate whether we’d take an instant $1 million or a 50% chance at $100 million, and even get creative with questions like how extra lives would work in the real world.

    We also tap into pop culture — from what movie or show world we’d enter, to breaking down Avatar: The Last Airbender elements (had to put Redd on game a little 😂), and discuss how we feel about all these “national days.”

    Plus, we speak on topics like Wale being judged at 40, everyday experiences like shopping, receipt checkers, lock boxes, and more — all through real, unfiltered conversation.

    Another episode full of laughs, perspective, and genuine dialogue.
