Rapper Edai in this segment of his interview with VladTV speaks about the culture of diss tracks in the Chicago rap scene, the city’s continuing struggle with violence, how he’s been able to give his children opportunities that were unavailable to him, and how he’d help his community. “I took my kids out of the hood,” Edai says, “I want to show my kids a different life than what I had. I lived that life because I didn’t have a choice.” Watch above.
