Phantom Pesos, a rising star in the hip-hop scene, recently sat down for an insightful interview on Dirty Glove Bastard's "Off The Porch" series. In this conversation, he delved into his journey, influences, and aspirations, offering fans a deeper understanding of the man behind the music.

From the heart of Kansas City, Kansas, to the Westside of Pine Bluff, Arkansas, Phantom Pesos has carved out a path defined by perseverance and passion. Born in Kansas City and moving to Pine Bluff at just six years old, Phantom—real name Donald—grew up surrounded by challenges that would later shape his artistry. His story is one of raw ambition, resilience, and an unwavering dedication to music.

Kansas City has long been a melting pot of musical influences, but when it comes to hip-hop, the city has often been overshadowed by major industry hubs like Atlanta, New York, and Los Angeles. However, that’s quickly changing. A new wave of artists, producers, and industry professionals is laying the foundation for a thriving hip-hop infrastructure, one that’s putting KC on the map in a big way.
