Have you ever wondered how to pronounce the last name “Nguyen” correctly? It’s more like “win” than you might think. It’s also the last name of the legendary Don “the Nuge” Nguyen, the first skater to successfully ollie El Toro on his first try. This isn’t just about his name, though; it’s about the unique taste in music that fuels his skateboarding and other creative endeavors.
Don Nguyen, when he’s not shredding for Baker and Cons, also finds time to play bass for LSDemons and Arctic and run his brand, Vol. 4. In this Jenkem Mix 22, Nuge presents a mix that’s as diverse and surprising as his skateboarding. Get ready for a wild ride through his musical mind.
