The man of the house before he was himself. Brilliant Delani 'Brintz' Ncube

He became the man of the house before he became himself. Brintz Ncube on the weight of the first born son.
What happens when a boy becomes the man of the house before becoming himself? This week, Zimbabwean hip hop artist Brintz joins Part Time Human for a conversation about pressure, responsibility, masculinity, and the hidden weight many first born sons carry in silence. We talk about growing up too early, becoming the “strong one,” emotional suppression in African homes, family expectations, survival, and the parts of yourself you lose while trying to hold everyone else together. A raw conversation about duty, identity, sacrifice, and the cost of being needed all the time. If you’ve ever felt responsible for everyone before learning how to take care of yourself, this episode is for you.
