Transculture Express - The Artistania Podcast

In the sixth and last episode of the show (for now), we meet our most local guest, the amazingly fierce Viet German Rap Artist @nashi_44_ from Neukölln! We talk about hip hop, its political traditions and about how the genre and growing up in Neukölln have influenced her music. Nashi44 raises her voice against injustices like Anti-Asian Racism and police brutality, creating awareness with smart and funny political lyrics supported by heavy, clubbanger beats. Get ready, turn up the volume and make space for nashi44!
