We explore people's journeys through hip hop, growing up in the 90s and into adulthood. We gush over times in hip hop we can't get enough of. We love on the culture, the state that it's been in, and what it's becoming. Discussing struggles with not always being loved back by a culture that we love so dearly. We get into those same things with r&b. We look over hip hop and r&b and where they often meet. And we try to explain why we fell in both. We explain why we feel the culture is in good hands...MORE Producer/Network Tam C
