Chingo Bling: Having a Plan for the Game | Eyes on the Ground

Chingo Bling built a successful hip-hop persona, and a sizeable social media following.  He's collaborated with artists including Mike Jones, Paul Wall, Fat Pat, and Pitbull, and the success of his YouTube channel led him to the stand up stage, which is where I first met him. It's important to note that he didn't come to stand up comedy expecting instant success.  I watched him start at the same open mics as everyone else until he got his feet firmly underneath him. The difference was, he had already spent an entire career learning skills that he realized applied to stand up. Deciding to do something new doesn't mean you have to start at zero. This is my conversation with Chingo Bling.
