39. “I was obsessed with Shakespeare”

This week we are joined by the homie A-L-I-T-E Alite!  Hip-hop artist, comedian, podcaster, and most recently, event producer!  He tells us about his life growing up Brown in East Van.  We get into his immigrant story, journey through Hip-hop and honing his skills, discovering his love for comedy, and parenting in an unjust and inequitable society.  But before all that we get angry about some stuff, laugh at some other stuff, and we relish in our recent glory at the High Phrase Live show!  Big shout out to everyone who came out to support us and all of the other artists.  *WARNING: in the intro of this episode Angelene and Ashneil highlight a recent incident which took place on a local radio station where the host voiced misogynistic ideologies.  There are also mentions of domestic abuse.  Feel free to skip ahead to beginning of Alite’s interview at 43:00 minutes.
