Can Pusha Preme's Afro Fusion Style CHANGE the Game?

Pusha Preme, New York born and raised, a man of the South and the North, with a sprinkle of the West says, "I am nobody. I am music. I make music. I intentionally don't want people to know who I am, I just want them to enjoy the music. If you want to know about my life, then open a book or read a feature about me. I feel like a lot of artists out there make up a library of really dope looking books, but when you actually read the books, you end up feeling like 'eh'."   Spotify https://open.spotify.com/artist/5dOFRHLdIcTpDUehikg6lF?si=B3MrpnriRKW6CS46tXVJWw INSTAGRAM instagram.com/pushapreme Twitter twitter.com/tweetsbypreme Facebook facebook.com/pushapreme   Here's the summary of the podcast episode:   ---   🎙️ **Episode Summary: Pusha Preme on Giving Back, Industry Hustle, and Staying True to Your Roots**    In this episode of *No Chase Podcast*, host Remy Roe sits down with the electrifying Tampa-based artist, **Pusha Preme**, for an in-depth conversation covering his inspiring journey, music career, and the importance of giving back to the community.   From humble beginnings, Pusha Preme opens up about growing up in a household where he had to choose between shoes or school supplies.
