073: Shing02

Born in Tokyo, raised in Tanzania, England, and Japan, Shing02 came up in the independent SF Bay Area hip hop scene in the mid '90s. He has released numerous recordings showcasing his bilingual MC skills, most notably the Luv(sic) series with the late producer Nujabes. we talk about his family history going back hundreds of years and the experiences and encounters that have shaped him to be the amazing visual artist he is today. We bring it back to Telegraph Ave, his days at University and linking up with hip hop artists in the 90s via mentorship and his time working with Nujabes. He has new projects on the way and we get a status update on how he is dealing with social isolation and how it relates to our safety. Enjoy!
