Born and Raised in B-More
Been dealing with Hip Hop since having the snotty nose and the Payless ProWings.
Currently hosting the historical Hip Hop Show on Morgan State University's Campus, "Strictly Hip Hop" Friday Nights 12am-5am. As of right now...the mission is to enlighten the youth and the next generation about hip hop. Since I was fortunate enough to witness and experience the "Golden Ages", its my job to put people down who haven't got a clue. At the same time expose them to CURRENT music that's keeping the tradition going.
Its a dirty job but who the hell else is going to do it...
