## Resource

In this episode, I sit down with Kopus, a rapper based in Texas, to talk about his journey from living in a sex commune in Inglewood, California to finding his spiritual path. He shares how his former rap name brought chaos into his life, how he ended up at Bonoboville, and how meeting his now-wife there changed everything. We get into his near-miss with a national tour, why he left LA before COVID hit, and what it means to him to be coming out of a cocoon phase and stepping back into his music with a new sense of purpose.
