DJ Stylus on the DC Hip-Hop History Project

Joints, News, Science April 12th, 2012

A while back I had a conversation about the history of black music in DC with some good friends and peers. Here’s the result.

Much respect to my fellow panel members Stacy Brooks, W. Ellington Felton, and Luke Stewart, DCHHP hosts JBenOK and Kokayi, Rappers I Know and The Dunes.

Documentation is critical. Glad to see folks stepping up.
