Episode Synopsis
Send us a textBorn and raised in the South Bronx during Hip Hop’s golden era, Earl Lugo got his start in the culture through graffiti, DJing, and breakdancing. A true Hip Hop pioneer, he evolved from spinning records as DJ EZL to becoming a major force behind the scenes. After relocating to Virginia and later Orlando, he built Big Earl Productions—a powerhouse promotions and marketing agency that worked with legends like Fat Joe, Big Pun, DMX, and Akon. Recognized by the Universal Zulu Nation and awarded “Big Earl Day” in Orlando, he’s also been a journalist, fashion consultant, radio host, and educator. Today, Earl uses his platform The Story Box Unlimited to share untold stories from Hip Hop history and uplifts his community through youth sports, art, and education.Connect with Earl LugoInstragram:https://www.instagram.com/bigearlpromoAzalea LL Website:https://www.azaleaparkll.comPurchase “Black Wall Street” The Board Gamehttps://www.playblackwallstreet.com/maliksfirstjobpodcastGet a GreenLight Debit Card for Your Children:https://share.greenlight.com/96453721Register for Free Online Financial Literacy Courses:https://maliksfirstjob.banzai.org/wellness/collections/teaching-kids-financesPurchase Malik’s First Job: Financial Principles for Teens:www.maliksfirstjob.com Follow Malik’s First Job on Social Media Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/maliksfirstjobInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/maliksfirstjobTwitter:https://www.twitter.com/maliksfirstjob
