WTM Solid Interview: Wrld Tour Mafia Origins, Building Solo Catalog, Love for Spider-Man, Fashion

Our 2nd guest for our new 'Visible' interview series is WTM Solid of Detroit's Wrld Tour Mafia. In this interview, Nikole had a 20-minute convo with Solid about his Wrld Tour Mafia origins, building his solo catalog alongside his group, his unique fashion choices, and his huge love for Spider-Man (I think we can all agree too, Toby is the goat.). He talked about wanting people to start paying attention to the real artists and not the bullsh*t music that tends to get streamed to the max these days & much more.

"Solid is as real as they come. He's not putting on a persona. He's not "faking it till he makes it." He's exactly who he says he is. And that gets translated through the music." - Nikole
