Sibling Love Sep 30, 2020

Show notes

Today we gather an only child, a younger sibling, and a middle child to talk about our various “siblingships” and how they affected different parts of our life.
While different age gaps, personalities, and genders can completely transform the dynamic, one thing’s for sure - siblings have a huge impact during childhood and can help shape your preferences and personality!

Tune in to hear the ~vibes~ we look for when we make friends, and our first impressions of each other (from 6 years ago!!)

Music Transcends Language (ft. Aleebi) Sep 09, 2020

Show notes

If you've ever used Spotify or YouTube to listen to music, you've probably stumbled upon a song in a language you don't know how to speak. But have you ever heard a song that features not just one, but 3 different languages?

This week we chat with Crystal's high school friend Austin (aka Aleebi). He makes music in English, Korean, and Japanese and has garnered over 200,000 total streams on Spotify.

Austin shares with us his experience as an Asian-American rapper in an increasingly global music market. What role does language play in self-expression? How can Asian artists explore the Hip Hop space without veering into cultural appropriation?
