Nova hosts a candid talk with Jefe Trvp, co-host Isaac King, and guests, covering Jefe Trvp’s life before music as a dance major with a full-ride scholarship he lost after selling weed, plus years of MMA and kickboxing. He shares when he realized he was “hard” after winning shows and opening for artists like Lil Durk, Kevin Gates, and Roddy Ricch, and names “Rolling” and a Skilla Baby remix as key breakthrough moments. They discuss taking criticism, feeling discouraged by music-industry politics, defining success as stability and family, and shifting music toward a female audience.
