Jalen Santoy: I'm so hungry at times, I don't realize the happiness in the moment

This week we present our interview with North Carolina rapper and songwriter Jalen Santoy. Jalen first made waves after the release of his single “Foreplay” in 2016 which has nearly 25 million listens on Spotify. Two years later Jalen released his highly anticipated debut album Charlie Eastern. The album is a tribute to his cousin, Seiyid “Fast Cash” Rahmaan, who died from police brutality in his hometown of Charleston, South Carolina. Jalen talked about the meaning behind Charlie Eastern, how he quit playing soccer professionally to pursue music, and how he takes out his aggression through music. Each and every Wednesday we’ll be uploading a brand new interview with a guest we feel that you should know about.
