  • An eye-opening series that conveys that rap’s impact is both broad and deep

    In a world where most of the media seems to convey that rap’s involvement and impact is ‘black and white’, this podcast is a reveal that rap’s impact is much more broad and deeper reaching.

    It’s great to discover South Asians that have their hands in the making of popular rap music but also wonderful to hear stories from others that have been impacted by rap to the same extent that I have. Trippy how shared experiences can make you feel some kind of connection to a stranger.
