Hear the interview now at: http://kindaneat.net/nacho-picasso Subscribe to the podcast for weekly episodes! This week we sit down with Seattle raised rapper Nacho Picasso. He’s a clear alternative to what comes to mind when discussing “Seattle Rap.” In a city known for churning out safe, marketable, pseudo-uplifting, boom-bap inspired rap…his music resides in a dark world of gun violence, drugs, and sexual deviance. After talking to him (longer off mic than on mic), it seems that art truly imitates life. I’m fully aware that many of our listeners are quickly turned off by those tropes and themes in rap music, but Nacho’s music is filled with layered lyricism, obscure pop culture references, undeniable charisma and one of the most unique voices currently working, often laid over thumping Blue Sky Black Death instrumentals. Hear us talk about his late start to rap, getting his first tattoo at 13, and the abusive mom’s ex-boyfriend that stole Christmas one year. Remember kids: sharing is caring.
