Show Notes Chapter Markers

This week, BFTC is joined by a very special guest... Boston's hottest music promoter turned rapper, Vasjan! Vas began making music in 2021, and has amassed over 2 million+ streams with his first 5 released songs! However, Vas' success has also ignited controversy around his subpar rapping ability and accusations of cultural appropriation as a white rapper in the culture!

In this interview, Vas addresses the criticisms of cultural appropriation and the haters of his music! Vas also details his move to the U.S. from Albania in 2018, and how he managed to become a staple in Boston's music scene as a promoter before dabbling in the music! Shoutout to Vasjan for coming through and handling the tough questions we threw at him! Enjoy the interview!
