Frank Ski, Wanda Smith, Porcha Fox, Ramona Debreux, Joyce Littell, and Greg Street raised Us…so did Larry Tinsley and Monica Kaughman…here's an ode to a cultural institution ( dj-ing) that aided in cxltivating me as well….Atlanta Underground Hip Hop…what a time to be alive and musically cxltivated by some of Hip Hop’s greats while growing up in their city at the same damn time, at the same damn, at the same damn time!! In giving credit where credit is due, it was these artists that further opened up the city to popularity, emphasis on culture, and people moving here to further invest in the city….
