Prayers

From being jumped into a gang at 13 to becoming the genre-defining cholo goth icon he is today, Leafar Seyer of Prayers, also known as Rafa, sets the bar on what it is to be an artist on your own terms. He exudes street-level confidence and a sense of invincibility that comes not just from surviving being shot at and stabbed, but from beyond conscious awareness. In this episode, Rafa and Joel explore the double-edged sword of manifesting, working with controversial musical co-creators, and the special kind of art that comes from emerging out of survival mode into a place of intentional creative expression.
