Hip hip pioneer, DJ, web-developer and photographer D-Nice (United Camps), has an excellent series on his blog titled True Hip Hop Stories, where he chronicles some of hip hop’s finest and allows them to tell their story in their own words. Beautiful. That’s one of the things we’re going to do as well, allow the untold stories to be told. So, if you’ve got a story that needs to be heard, get at us.
His previous stories have featured Kwame, YZ, Dana Dane, Masta Ace, Joe Ski Love and many others. A must see for any hip hop fan and very well produced. This edition features one of my favorites, DoitAll from the Lords of the Underground talking about the genesis of the “Funky Child”.
He’s a very talented photographer as well can see from his gallery. He’s just posted his inauguration experience in D-Nice Presents: Experiencing The Dream — powerful.
