This year, Daygo Fatts dropped a solid run of music, including his most recent 2-pack “My Turn”, featuring two West Coast bangers “Native” and “Swang With Me.” He was also featured on Xzibit’s album Kingmaker, continuing to solidify his presence on a bigger stage. Beyond the music, Daygo Fatts has been releasing powerful visual content like his Stories in Motion docuseries — highlighting the history and culture of different parts of San Diego. You can find the full series on his Instagram. All links will be in the description below — we do the hard work for you, so make sure to tap in, follow, and check out his music and content. You will not be disappointed. In this interview, we talk early inspirations, the moment he decided to take music seriously, his creative process/his sound, working with Xzibit, his merch drops, what’s next for his journey & so much more! We also kick things off with our Rapid Fire / Ice Breaker questions — covering gratitude, yearly reflection, SD spots to bring a guest and more.
