Eat Your Crust
Two Asian-American girls navigating our way through life-in-our-twenties in the Bay Area, with a little help from our friends. Tune in during your lousy commute to laugh and chat with your hosts Crystal and Jeesoo as we ramble about tech, culture, family, and more through an Asian-American lens. If you can relate, feel free to visit us at eatyourcrust.com or reach out to us @eatyourcrustpod on insta or email us at eatyourcrustpod@gmail.com!

Music Transcends Language (ft. Aleebi)

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?
