Sad Boy Radio XCI: Why I Run Away? (W/ Ausar)
Episode description
Sad Boys For Real! Chicago artist, Ausar, slides to the studio to discuss his upcoming album, "I Now Know," and the experiences necessary to get to this point. Ausar has had traction behind his name since his first drop; however, with that traction comes unrealistic expectations that take a mental toll. Through this, he's had to navigate failed label deals, relationships, and even a concept album he worked on for five years. In the past, Ausar let fear control everything he did. Inspiring his song Ghosted where he says, "Said I didn't care that was a lie / all of my surroundings salt & pride / Know I made a mess I'm mortified was adding to my own demise," This forced Ausar to look inward & make a choice to fix what's broken or continue to be haunted by the reasons he runs away. Also discussed, traumas from relationships, being on Netflix's "Rhythm and Flow", and going to school with Taylor Bennett.
