On Episode 147 of the Guest Speaker Series, we are joined by rising hip-hop artist KSAP! Currently a senior at Medford High School, KSAP is the youngest guest we have ever had on the show, as well as the youngest artist to be nominated for a Boston Music Award this past December for his music video “100 Miles”. Despite not taking home the award, KSAP reflects on what he still feels like is a win and a huge achievement, especially as he got accepted to Berklee College of Music shortly after. KSAP discusses what he hopes to learn there, as well as his goals for his future in music. KSAP also shares the deep connections he’s made in Medford, particularly within the high school community, and talks at length about the support he’s received throughout his young music career. He also praises his mother & grandparents for their encouragement and credits them for helping him become the young man and artist he is today. KSAP & Mike also reflect on the Boston music scene as whole, discussing what KSAP believes is a lack of mutual support amongst creatives, and how to potentially navigate the landscape and create positive change within the culture. KSAP brings a fresh perspective not only to the genre of hip-hop, but how to effectively create a brand and a movement that impacts his peers. KSAP is a bright and innovative mind that has all of the aspects necessary to be a musical mainstay in Boston and beyond for years to come.
