hip hop

Dark Down

at the turn of the millennium hip hop was over 20 years old and main stream. luckily there was an underground alternative created by cats who made hip hop because they had to. whose free expression wasn’t concerned with Billboard and bling; only a passion for hip hop… and it shows.
