Pain to Passion: How Music Saved This Filipino Rapper (Feat. Naczyyy & Chesca) - Episode 5

Listen Later

When Naczyyy (aka Ryan) moved to Canada at 18, he was hit with devastating news. For this Filipino rapper from Calgary, music became his outlet and escape. Get a behind the scenes look at his story, how he fought the dark times, and how dropping hot tracks became his passion. Plus, we spill the tea on how an unexpected encounter with Chesca, an educational assistant for special needs kids, flourished into a cute love story worthy of being a classic Filipino movie...maybe! 😉
