My guest today is Host, MC, Dancer, and Las Vegas community voice M.P. Art. If you want to know what is happening in Las Vegas, you want to follow Art and the There’s Nothing To Do In Vegas media channels he curates with Coco Jenkins.
I met Art in L.A. where he often comes out to host dance events and participate in the community. Since then I’ve been to several events he’s MC’d in Vegas, including the legendary First Friday battles at Ninja Karaoke, and I’ve come to really admire his ability to keep things moving, make everyone feel welcome, and truly represent his community. It looks effortless, but that’s only because he puts in the work to do it right.
So when I knew I’d be in Vegas again I made sure to invite him onto the podcast. We talk about how his Chicano, Coachella Valley roots brought him to hip hop and shaped his views on community. We also discuss his core values and those who helped him along the way. I think you’ll enjoy Art’s calm, determined presence, so let’s get into The Real Future with M.P. Art.
And I’ve got to make a quick apology for the sound quality of this conversation – I had a tech glitch (aka User Error) with my remote setup and did not capture the usual high-quality audio.
