project5ive to launch 01.01.08 I will be presenting my online portfolio featuring my 5 year experience with Hip Hop and Commercial Radio in Los Angeles. It'll be a documentation of what I have seen and covered over the past few years.
From Jay-Z to Nas, Magic Johnson to Kobe Bryant, Beyonce to Mariah, Ghostface to Talib Kweli, the experience of covering such artists has been surreal and well worth sharing to the public. With my stint just about ending, i've decided to move on from radio to see another side in life and design and present project5ive as an exit to a significant chapter in my life.
