Scarypoolparty Spits a Freestyle and Reveals His Biggest Guilty Pleasure | Truth or Dare

Alejandro Aranda, who you may recognize as Scarypoolparty or the rare, spellbinding talent who amazed the world following a viral audition on season 17 of American Idol, is always one to surprise us. From finishing as the runner-up to season 17 to releasing a series of singles that have consistently defied genre conventions and expectations, Scarypoolparty is an artist we simply cannot get enough of.  

Both a treat on and off the record, we caught up with Scarypoolparty following his festival debut at Lollapalooza for a quick game of truth or dare, where we got to know all about his admiration for cult-anime Akira and hear him lay down a fire freestyle.
