In a new episode of “ANDERSSEIN” podcast supported by SEAT, host Minh-Khai Phan-Thi is joined by rapper Eko Fresh.
Fresh delves into a deep discussion about his relationship with his mother, her importance to his life and what he and other musicians owe to her.
You can listen to the podcast episode below as well as reading a brief excerpt from their conversation below:
Minh-Khai Phan-Thi begins each episode of the Anderssein podcast with the following four questions as they were pertinent to her own journey of self-discovery. For this reason, she poses these questions to her guests to find out how they’re doing.
Where are you from?
I come from Cologne, I was born and grew up there. Is that enough?
Is there a difference between homeland and home for you?
Yes there is. I call Turkey my homeland, so it has something to do with home. Actually, my roots are Turkish. If I take it exactly, here in Germany is my home because I belong here. I keep talking about it with my mother and my relatives, some of whom are still in Turkey. They are not closed with their hearts there. I do not have that. This is my home. This here is home, there is nothing there.
What role does acceptance play for you?
This is something we all strive for. I even analyzed it for myself. Having to prove acceptance is also part of my engine. Of course because of my origins, how I look, my social status in my youth.
What question do you want to stop being asked?
No idea.
