About Me

It's a shame that people say that Hip Hop is dead, or dying, or however they choose to articulate it. I don't know exactly what planet they were on in the late 80's and early 90's, but let it be known, as soulful as the music was in that time frame, it still wasn't reaching anywhere near the number of people and souls it is today. In so doing, there are more gifted artists than ever who are chiseling their own niche in the world of hip hop. Although they may not be getting the airplay that some of the mindless music gets, that still does not discredit the power of what is. Here and Now Hip Hop is thriving. It's up to you the listeners to decide what's hot and what's not. Hopefully I'll fall in that 1st category.. Enjoy!
