About Me

I am a video blogger at illdoctrine.com , recently featured in magazines like Wired and Urb and voted "Best Video Blog" in this year's Black Weblog Awards. You can also see me on XXL's website .
Also I'm the host and founder of NY's longest running hip-hop radio show, Underground Railroad on WBAI 99.5 FM... the show that gave birth to Natural Elements, DJ Qool Marv and DJ Spinna who is now too large for us and busy hanging out with Stevie Wonder and what not.
Also also I was one of the originators of "hip-hop blogging" at my old site hiphopmusic.com, for whatever that's worth.
