NLS Huncho, Rapper/Artist: A Hustler With A Heart (S2 E31)
In this episode, Steve and Catherine have the distinct pleasure of interviewing NLS Huncho, or just "Huncho." He's a rapper/musician, but he's also so much more. What is most evident is that he is truly a nice guy who defies the image of thug rapper with a need to show out as in control, always f*cking b*itches, and flashing money and guns. Instead he has found that when he lets his raps just flow, what comes out are much more vulnerable expressions. We learn that he has always liked his music, but through his newest truer and more expressive efforts, he has come to love it. His most recent EP is called "Anxiety, ADHD and Arrogance," and it is available on Spotify, Apple Music and YouTube Music.
In our talk with Huncho, we learn about his coming to rap and hip hop later than most due to his church upbringing, his cont'd singing in choir, his failing out of college twice while back home in California before being encouraged to follow his dreams at Dillard University. We also learn just how similar he finds his role as a rapper is to his Pastor father's role. We meet with him while his is at Dillard, and we learn that Huncho has truly come into his own, finding an an ideal fit in their music management degree program, and dropping some of his best work yet while at Dillard. What we learn too that his work has taken new forms, including sewing and creating clothing.
A brief listen to this episode will convey just how much fun we had talking to this very enjoyable person, who has finding a way to just do it as a string grabber and kite flyer.
