DJ Hed from Real 923 in Los Angeles explains what it means to be West Coast

DJ Hed is on Real 923 in Los Angeles Monday thru Saturday nights, and co-hosts the Homegrown Radio podcast with Chuck Dizzle. Hed is known for his brutal honesty, serving up raw thoughts in a steaming broth of confidence, humility and gratitude. We talk about how his childhood was full of moves around The Eastside because of financial issues — or his mom sensed he was hanging with the wrong crowd. Hed fell in love with radio at Cerritos College, finding his niche playing and promoting music made in Los Angeles. That grew into his role on Homegrown Radio, and his joining Real 923 in 2015. Hed also discusses his unique relationship with the late Nipsey Hussle, and why if he lost everything right now he would feel like he won.
