In a special edition of Hard NOC Life, guest host Nelson Wong (@aarisings) has a one-on-one with Los Angeles-based rapper Jason Chu (@jasonchumusic) about his latest single Marvels and the Kickstarter-funded music video to accompany the song.

Also, if you’re a comic book or action figure collector and have some great superhero collectibles — or a great cosplay outfit — in the LA Area and want to potentially be featured in the Marvels video, please email jasonchumusic@gmail.com

Topics covered on the show include:

• How Jason started in rap music
• Starting the rap group Model Minority with the Fung Brothers
• Jason’s first album, The Uncool, and laying the groundwork for Marvels Kickstarter music video project

• Discussing how Marvels is inspired by comic book heroes and telling a different side of nerd-rap
• Envisioning Marvels as a way to build community and bringing life to the music video
• Future of Jason Chu’s upcoming projects
