Mickey Avalon joins Jeff Weiss on the Truth Hurts podcast to look back on 20 years since the release of his cult classic self-titled debut album. He reflects on how social media has changed since he first emerged as one of the preeminent artists in the Myspace era, along with his crew the Dyslexic Speedreaders (Simon Rex/Dirt Nasty, and Andre Legacy).
He talks about his upbringing in West Hollywood where he wrote graffiti, sold weed with his mom and got his first porno from The Alchemist. He tells stories about working with Perry Ferrell, Dr. Luke, and Bruno Mars, being in a Boost Mobile commercial with Young Jeezy and Jermaine Dupri, accidentally eating 10 grams of mushrooms in Mexico, and why he never really cared about legacy.
Mickey Avalon is performing on the 20th anniversary tour of his self-titled debut LP this summer. Check out his IG for dates: https://www.instagram.com/mickey_avalon/

Truth Hurts Podcast
The Truth Hurts is the antithesis to hip-hop podcasts dedicated to shameless clout-chasing and nihilistic exploitation. Instead of contrived drama and sinister gossip, the show seeks to chronicle the stories and lives of America's most compelling artists. It features journalists who've been embedded for years in the West Coast scene, but covers topics and personalities impacting popular culture at large. Each week, hosts Jeff Weiss, Rosecrans Vic & Free sit down at Pro Club in LA with musicians to break down their art, life and career from an honest, unflinching, music-first perspective.
