ITN 87 | Cza (Kansas City, MO)

Michigan, Missourri, United States

Support the podcast and help keep it online by becoming a member of our Patreon! Every little donation helps and I really appreciate anything you can pledge! On this episode, we chatted with my buddy CJ who goes by his artist name Cza. He’s a SUPER dope hip hop lyricist and has kinda mastered the lo-fi nerd rap thing in my opinion. He also does visual arts and is just a great follow on social media- check his instagram @cza.chillin. His full-length mixtape Mercurial II will be out later this year on DatPiff and other mixtape sites. Enjoy y’all!
