Drug Cartels Hire Rappers

In FUSE 31, Moer discusses relationships behind the scenes of Persian rap, market pressures, capital and networks of power, and allegations of promotional links between drug-trafficking networks and music: an account of an industry where the boundary between art and business is not always clear.

Fuse is an independent Persian-language video podcast. Arash Nalchegar uses long-form conversation to move beyond prepared answers and examine the ideas, experiences and tensions that shape each guest’s work.
