Urban Grind Radio returns this week of November 10th with another powerful episode — Ep. 20, featuring Chicago’s own Rico Heartbrk, with an exclusive Violator All-Star DJ Showtyme Mix setting the vibe for the night. Hosted by Sinista and Sheila G, this episode dives into the heart of hustle, heritage, and healing through music.

Now focused on his upcoming album Troubled Roses, Rico opens up about turning struggle into strength, preparing to open for Calboy in Atlanta, and staying grounded while chasing greatness. It’s a story of pain, purpose, and perseverance — all powered by the grind.  Hosted by: Sinista & Sheila G Guest: Rico Heartbrk @rockstarricoo Featuring: Violator All-Star DJ Showtyme Mix @djshowtyme72025 Tune in now at UrbanGrindRadio.comAlso streaming on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and iHeartRadio #UrbanGrindRadio #RicoHeartbrk #RockstarRicoo #DJShowtyme #ViolatorAllStarDJs #UrbanGrindTV #TroubledRoses #ChicagoHipHop #IndependentArtist #RealMusicRealStories #Episode20 #FromTheBoothToTheStreets #ChicagoMedia
