 In this powerful episode of Minted Minds, I’m joined by Kruze, a former singer and Ghazi Swoop, a talented MC. Both were deep in the music scene, with major opportunities ahead of them… but they made the choice to walk away.We talk about what really happens behind the scenes of the music industry — the temptations, the pressure, and the moments that tested their faith. Now, they use their voices for purpose: Kruze channels his into nasheeds, and Ghazi into spoken word.This isn’t just a story about music, it’s about identity, struggle, and turning it all around.One of the rawest, most honest episodes to date. You don’t want to miss this.
