He’s the first MC to join local collective Brain Jelly Music—a project that until now only housed some of Vegas’ heavier rock bands. But anyone who’s familiar with the rapper knows he’s a heavy-hitter. When Hassan spits fire, nothing is safe—from politics to sports and women, the rapper leaves no stone unturned, always delivering a much-needed dose of humor with his intense heat. We’re especially looking forward to Hassan’s upcoming EP, Fat, Black and Awesome, out this month. Hassan1.bandcamp.com
