In this episode of Kicking It With Pete, I sit down with Buc Hollins — emcee, CEO of SmallCityBigDreams ENT, and one of Flint’s hardest working independent artists.

Buc takes us through his journey growing up on both the southside and northside of Flint, performing over 250 shows, and opening for legends like Nipsey Hussle, Spice1, Dayton Family, and Peezy. He breaks down how he’s managed to stay independent with no manager, no pay-to-play, and why respect has always been his foundation.

We also talk about balancing fatherhood with music, the mission behind SmallCityBigDreams, and what’s next with MajorDealWithoutAMajorDeal3 and Different Perspective 2025.

If you respect the grind, you’ll respect Buc Hollins.
