About Me

Hip Hop Since '88 Radio::Mondays::9-11 CST.
Before anything,I'm a hip hop fan. The writer part comes second. Hip Hop is a huge influence on my life and how I live it. I may not be the all-knowing hip hop head but I know enough to hold my weight and I continue to learn and discover material (be it new or classic). If you have any suggestions, artist recommendations,or just an opinion, get in touch. passtheplugs
