Chaz Kangas is a multi-hyphenate hip hop artist, journalist, radio personality and Troma scholar. His latest album The Troma Project: 50 Years of Reel Fan-Toxic Hip-Hop, out now on Four Finger Distro, is a love letter to Troma and its rich filmic history, comprised entirely of samples from films from its library. On this episode, host Zack Beins chats with Chaz about how the project came to be, the genius of Debbie Rochon, AI and its place in art, and much, much more!
