Summary

Jonnie Park, better known as Dumbfounded, has a truly interesting Origin story that starts in Argentina, and ends at Koreatown in L.A.! We dig deep as he recalls finding his way immigrating through the Mexican border, to his early teen years emerging as a world-famous battle rapper, to his sights setting in on being an Emmy award winner.
