Episode 25: More Than A Host - Visionobi Carves His Own Lane

Phil Fokus chops it up with Visionobi, diving into his journey from growing up in Hertfordshire to finding his voice as an MC in Southampton. They get into early Garage, Grime and Hip Hop influences, pirate radio days, and how community helped shape both sound and mindset. Visionobi breaks down his approach to mic work, storytelling and hosting, plus the realities of navigating the scene while staying true to yourself. There’s real talk on his time working with Wilkinson, what that era taught him, and how it pushed him to carve out his own lane. The convo also touches on creativity, writing lyrics with longevity, collaboration vs gatekeeping, and why MCs need space to evolve into full artists, not just hype men. To round it off, Visionobi introduces Colony - a new grassroots event focused on bringing people together and celebrating drum & bass culture at its core. 🎧 Listen on Podbean: https://micmindedpeople.podbean.com 📺 Watch on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@micmindedpeople Follow us on Instagram: 🎙️ Mic Minded People: https://www.instagram.com/micmindedpeople 🎧 Phil Fokus: https://www.instagram.com/mcfokus Visionobi: 📸 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/visionobi 🎵 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/artist/54llsSjxdbdGegB0X5uXEP?si=ieDGyaQOSHWDNcz_BGHXvw
