Ep 7: SHARAF (pt. 1)

Episode 7: Sharaf. This is the season finale my loves!

Welcome to The Safe House Travel Diary, a travel and music podcast that explores hip hop in misunderstood places. My name is Soha. I go to the safe houses of hip hop artists for intimate conversations and try to get a sense of what life is like in their corner of the world.

The idea for The Safe House comes from Kendrick Lamar's lyric about "venting in the safe house." Every season I travel to a new country and immerse myself in their hip hop scene.

This is Season 1: "Three Nights in Beirut" and it takes place in my Motherland: Lebanon.
