🎙️ Ruff Jana Gets Raw: Identity, Struggles & Truth – PART 1
In this powerful and unfiltered episode, we sat down with Ruff Jana, the well-known Tamil rapper from Germany not to talk music (yet!), but to dive deep into real life.
This conversation took us through honest reflections about growing up as Tamil kids with immigrant parents, the lingering pain of war and displacement in Sri Lanka, and the silent struggles that come with navigating identity, trauma, and discrimination even within our own community.
In Part 1, we talked about:
🌍 Growing up between cultures
🇱🇰 The impact of the Sri Lankan civil war on our generation
🧓 How our parents’ trauma shaped the way we were raised
⚖️ Colorism & discrimination within the Tamil community
🧠 Mental health, masculinity, and breaking cycles
This was one of the deepest convos we’ve had—raw, emotional, and long overdue.
Part 2 will get into Ruff Jana’s music, his journey as a rapper, and his creative fire. But for now, sit with this. Share it. Talk about it.
