In this powerful episode of The Welcome Legacy Podcast, James G. Welcome sits down with his younger cousin Kadrain Williams, aka HillBoy KD, for a raw conversation about life, loss, family, music, and transformation. Growing up together in WAHA (Ocklawaha, Florida), HillBoy KD faced unimaginable challenges, losing his father at a young age and later losing his mother in 2018.

In this episode we discuss: ✅ Growing up in WAHA ✅ Losing both parents ✅ Street life and survival ✅ Family and mentorship ✅ Music as therapy ✅ Overcoming adversity ✅ Building a legacy ✅ Finding purpose through pain This isn't just a conversation about music—it's a conversation about resilience, growth, and refusing to let your past define your future. 🎙️ Hosted by James G.
