About this listen

 In this episode of The First Gems, we tap in with Chimdi and Otìto—better known as the Dappa Duo behind ENJ—for a conversation that feels like home. From growing up between Enugu and the Bronx to creating genre-blending sounds rooted in identity and joy, the duo shares how they’re reclaiming what it means to live, create, and heal as first-gen artists. We unpack how music became their way of preserving culture, resisting assimilation, and building bridges across the diaspora. They talk about creative confidence, spiritual grounding, and the journey from basement dreams to purposeful artistry. If you’ve ever felt caught between cultures or called to create something bigger than yourself—this one’s for you. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
