In this episode, Perri and Rashawn head west to catch up with Larry June before the release of his new album. Filmed at the world-famous Barcha Restaurant in downtown San Francisco, they dive into the early days of Larry June's career, discussing his starter watches, the cultural impact of the Bay Area, and how it shaped his passion for luxury timepieces. They also showcase some standout pieces from Larry's collection, including an Audemars Piguet Royal Oak, a Rolex Day-Date, and the renowned Patek Philippe Aquanaut reference 5968A, featured on the cover of his album "The Great Escape" with Alchemist. Larry June, a hip-hop artist and entrepreneur from San Francisco's Bayview Hunters Point neighborhood, raps about mental health, wellness, generational wealth, and his love for luxury sports cars and watches. Beyond music, Larry owns multiple real estate properties on the West Coast and in Atlanta, Georgia, and has a growing clothing and accessories line called Midnight Organic.
