SoloSam is a Chicago rapper and producer born and raised on the South Side – “79th and Ada,” he points out – but he’s also a chef with a cooking show series, a cookbook and also B-EATS, a bi-monthly party series that combines good food, good music and community. “If it wasn’t for food I wouldn’t have grown as a music artist, for sure,” he told Erin Allen. In this episode, we play some of his songs, learn about his Ghanaian-Korean heritage and talk about the connection he finds between food and music. “At the end of the day, it’s just art.”]]>
