This episode, we're thrilled to welcome the incredibly talented Blimes and the Bando (@BlimesAndTheBando) to the Citrus Podcast! Fresh off the start of their mini-tour, Blimes (hailing from the Bay Area ) shares her deep musical roots, journey from battle rap champion to soulful songwriter, and the pivotal co-sign from the legendary Method Man. The whole band – Blimes, Elijah Gray, May, and Benny Grape – joins the conversation, diving into their "accidental" formation story, how each member joined the group, and their unique blend of pop-soul infused with Blimes' signature hip-hop style. Learn about their upcoming music, recent film placements, and their tight-knit family dynamic.

Following the chat, Blimes and the Bando deliver a vibrant live performance of their single "S'Okay", the perfect anthem for pushing through tough times.
