Myspace Layouts at Pimp-My-Profile.com / All you need is 1 note - Image Hosting

Passionate about the education and positive promotion of hip hop and its culture in Australia. I have been a pivotal part of the hip hop community in Sydney, Australia for the past 10 years through the areas of radio, magazine and now TV arenas and have done everything from host my own radio show, to writing a weekly hip hop column in National streetpress magazine, to interviewing artists from Jay Z, Busta Rhymes and Chuck D to our growing legion of local artists and top DJ's in the Australian scene. I love the ability to help unearth new artists by writing on them, playing their music on radio and definatly bringing my unique playlist when I spin at various clubs around town. In short I am blessed to be a strong female in the hip hop scene that is living a life of purpose!
