Open Bar to Open Eyes: Dr. Greg “Grouchy” Watkins on Hip-Hop, Sobriety & Mental Health

In this episode of Hip Hope Hooray! Men Talkin’ Health, host Oya Gilbert (Grand G) sits down with Dr. Greg “Grouchy” Watkins, co-founder of AllHipHop.com, for an honest conversation about sobriety, alcoholism, and mental health. Dr. Greg shares how hip-hop shaped his identity and how addiction was present in his family long before his career took off. Together, they talk about the “open bar” culture of the entertainment industry and how easily drinking can shift from casual to destructive. This episode is a reminder that healing takes awareness, support, and the courage to take it one moment at a time.
