Mod Sun Talks MGK, Travis Barker, and Sobriety on Lipps Service

Minnesota native and “hippie hop” artist Mod Sun is the latest guest on the SPIN Presents Lipps Service podcast, following his recent SPIN cover story. In his conversation with host Scott Lipps, Mod Sun discusses his Midwest beginnings, which meant growing up on a farm (including the time his dad built a plane on the family property), as well as his process of creating music and sober touring.

The artist also discusses starting out in the scene as a drummer, his relationships with Machine Gun Kelly and Travis Barker, and his place in the current pop-punk revival.
