On Episode 102 of the Guest Speaker Series, Mike is joined by Brockton native and Van Burn Records member Luke Bar$ for an insightful conversation. Luke discusses his early relationship with writing, and how that, coupled with freestyling at lunch in school, ultimately led him to pursue artistry in his early adult years. He also shares joining Van Buren, and the impact they’ve made with their music, as well as the impact they continue to make within Brockton as a whole. Luke dives deep into his most recent album ‘Angels Never Die’ which was a critically acclaimed body of work, including how his workflow and creative process changed with this particular album. Luke also shares his favorite articles of clothing in his wardrobe, his experience at the Dreamville “Revenge of the Dreamers 3” sessions, why voicemails make for good interludes, and so much more.Follow Luke Bar$ on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lukebars/?hl=enStream Angels Never Die by Luke Bar$ on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/album/5jjL60rm8RzpoEQ3vs7lDf?si=jX4FNM32RNquG6mR-J3x1wStream Angels Never Die by Luke Bar$ on Apple Music: https://music.apple.com/us/album/angels-never-die/1719055538Stream 'Flawless' & 'Killa Mode' by Luke Bar$ on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/album/45RZjhQXdAAnsLksg571Hn?si=WKFf8utgQre1jYOJeSLpSgStream 'Flawless' & 'Killa Mode' by Luke Bar$ on Apple Music: https://music.apple.com/us/album/killa-mode-single/1743848746Check out our studio, AOA Studios, and book a session or service with us: https://www.aoastudios.org/inquiriesbookingFollow our social media and blogsInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/turntableteachers/?hl=enTik Tok - https://www.tiktok.com/@turntableteachersBlog - https://www.turntableteachers.com/blogShop - https://www.turntableteachers.com/shopSubscribe to our streaming services Apple - https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-turntable-teachers/id1448694925Google Play - https://playmusic.app.goo.gl/?ibi=com.google.PlayMusic&isi=691797987&ius=googleplaymusic&apn=com.google.android.music&link=https://play.google.com/music/m/Icujt6fhi2je7zzfxjkr7glcowe?t%3DThe_Turntable_Teachers%26pcampaignid%3DMKT-na-all-co-pr-mu-pod-16Soundcloud - https://soundcloud.com/user-538618877Spotify - https://open.spotify.com/show/4UJh499meoTP5wV2b2jrb0?si=EMaTjq9CR2-_zA6orKQNEQSpotify Discover Playlist- https://open.spotify.com/user/45ix6360sx8y5286mf2ims30f?si=Swo3O5_ZREaF-01aOXVThQ
