Ruslan Karaoglanov immigrated Southern California with his family as a young child.He learned the immigrant work ethic from his parents and hip hop from the neighborhood. 

Which is a story we've heard before. What makes Ruslan unique is that his family are Armenians...6-8 million decendents of an ancient European empire who share a common language, culture and (often times) faith, but are scattered throughout the U.S., Russia, Brazil, Germany, Iran, Lebenan, and a handful of other countries. 

During WWI, the Ottoman Empire (modern day Turkey) murdered millions of Armenians. It's a travesty the United States still refuses to acknowledge due to relations with Turkey. For an episode about mass murder, we also have a lot of fun talking hip hop, entrepenuerism and adjusting to life in the United States. Check out Ruslan's latest project, Indie Jones, on iTunes.
