In this bonus episode of Perspektives with Bank, Big Bank sits down with Houston rapper Cartel Bo for a raw and inspiring conversation about resilience, redemption, and building a new future after unimaginable adversity. Cartel Bo reflects on his upbringing in Houston's Lakewood and Myrtle Wood neighborhoods, opening up about childhood abuse, homelessness, time spent in the streets, and the experiences that ultimately led to incarceration.
