About this episode

Odalys Jasmine interviews Bucki Sugar about his journey through music, identity, and faith as a son of Egyptian immigrants raised in Florida and Egypt.

Some artists write about who they are, others write about who they’ll become. Bucki Sugar documents the experience at both ends and the one in between. In this Hella Latin@ episode, Odalys Jasmine sits down with Los Angeles rapper, producer, and songwriter Bucki Sugar for one of the most thoughtful conversations on creativity, identity, faith, and transformation. Born to Egyptian parents and raised between Florida and Egypt, Bucki reflects on what it means to grow up between cultures, navigate questions of identity, and carry the dreams of immigrant parents while finding your own voice. Together, they explore how music became more than self-expression, it became a practice of healing. Bucki opens up about writing through grief, learning to create from a place of hope instead of self-destruction, and why his music captures not only who he is today, but every version of himself along the way. We also dive into spirituality, patience, vulnerability, and the creative process. If you've ever wondered how artists turn life into art or how people become who they're meant to be — this conversation is for you.
