About this episode
Ishan discusses his music career, new project 'SMOKEBREAK', and personal experiences.
On Episode 144 of the Guest Speaker Series, we welcome artist & producer, Ishan, to the show! Ishan has been steadily on the rise in MA & beyond showcasing immaculate wordplay, and production that has reached a national level, in particular on Termanology & Paul Wall’s “Do It For the Ghetto” featuring Big K.R.I.T. Ishan takes plenty of time on this episode paying homage to his parents who instilled a high-level work ethic in him at a young age, and his management and creative team who have helped to bring that work ethic to life in his music. Ishan also talks at length about his new project ‘SMOKEBREAK’ which saw many different iterations before its release. While it’s only a short EP, this features some of his best work to date, with hard-hitting production and effortless bars. Mike & Ishan also discuss a variety of other topics, including Ishan’s work as a cancer-research scientist, his extensive experience traveling the world, and so much more.
