BTR World Hip Hop
I’m glad I know how to type a little bit. Cause my voice is almost gone from hollering screaming at the last three show i either hosted or djayed for. Shoutout to everybody who came out to Santos last week in NYC. Cella Dwellas, Heltah Skeltah, M.O.P, Busta Rhymes, Illa Ghee, Smif & Wessun, just to name a few. It’s world hiphop here though, so let’s concentrate on the artists i met at A3c Festival two weeks ago. Female artist Chelsea Reject (from St. Lucia) & male artist Raz Fresco (from Toronto). Check them out in my mix. Let’s go!!
