Pyrex Talks Joining Boominati, Moving to ATL After Being Homeless & More

The young legend Pyrex stopped by the Producergrind office to talk business and drop gems on the culture. He told us about his come up & early days growing up in Baltimore, being homeless and moving to Atlanta with a dollar and a dream, linking up with ATL legends like DJ Plugg, Southside & Metro Boomin and how those relationships changed his life. Pyrex gave us his opinion on selling beats online and why he doesn't like to do it to prevent oversaturating his sound. Pyrex also talks about getting placements and how he started to build his contacts when he moved to Atlanta.
