Ceschi of Codefendants Opens Up About His Father, Living A Fast Life & The Bittersweet Feeling In His Music #11

"I'm continually fighting against living a regular life. That's led me to some really bad decisions at times but, it's also been the best decision of my life."

Rapper, folk & punk musician Ceschi (pronounced Chess-Key) talks with Pepe. Their close friendship allows them both to open up on the podcast about some very personal experiences from their lives. Ceschi recounts his relationship with his father & Pepe talks about losing sight of his own family. Also discussed is the last time Ceschi, Pat (formerly "the Bunny") & Pepe saw Erik Petersen, the story behind Ceschi's song "Shame", perspectives on money, survival without a regular job & more.
