Got a new video this week for ‘Da’ What is Hip Hop? from Brooklyn emcee Majestik Originality! He has grown up in hip hop and credits it with forming who he has become. “It is a culture of people who understand each other.” He has found a place where he can relate and be himself. […]
Born and raised in “The City of Hate”, Longshot and hip hop go way back. Currently signed with legendary indie label Rhymesayers, he has relocated to Minneapolis but hasn’t lost any of his Chi-Town flavor.

Reading this essay from Dumi Right is refreshing and inspiring. […]

From when she fell in love with the music to her current artist promotion, DJ Mos P has lived hip hop to the […]
Atlanta. Ga emcee Skinny-C’s got something to say! Repping the dirty South and shedding light on hip hop’s path there, he takes us through the customs and beliefs of a Southern rapper.
