This Is TASTE

184: Heems

Himanshu Suri is best known by his rap name Heems, and he is our guest on this entertaining episode of the show. We wanted to have Heems on not just because we are a fan of his former group Das Racist (you may remember their song “Combination Pizza Hut and Taco Bell”) but because we wanted to talk to him about Punjabi food. About growing up in Queens. About his new passion for gardening. We really enjoyed catching up with Heems.More from Heems:<a href="http://www.amritsingh.com/dosa-hunt" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Dosa Hunt!</a> [Official]<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q4Yb8AWXgLI" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Swet Shop Boys - "T5"</a> [YouTube]<a href="https://www.npr.org/2015/03/13/390733655/we-knew-things-were-different-for-us-heems-on-rap-race-and-identity" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Heems on Rap, Race and Identity</a> [NPR]<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mZ2YafeZIPQ" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Das Racist - Rapping 2 U Live in Sydney</a> [YouTube]See Privacy Policy at <a href="https://art19.com/privacy" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://art19.com/privacy</a> and California Privacy Notice at <a href="https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info</a>.
