In this week’s episode, the ‘Bad For The Community’ crew sat down with Jason Almeida, known as WHERE’S NASTY, a creative director, DJ, and event producer hailing from Providence, RI. Nasty shared his journey into hip-hop, the evolution of music discovery, and why success in the culture goes beyond just numbers. He recounted his early days of organizing high school parties, his introduction to DJing in college, and co-founding Stay Silent PVD, the powerhouse behind legendary events like Day Trill.
The conversation also dove into the contrasts between the music scenes in Boston and Providence, the delicate balance between visibility and financial success in the creative industry, and the role data plays in understanding your audience. Oh, and they might’ve thrown in a quick chat about the Diddy controversy toward the end of the episode.
