All about Hip-Hop and R&B
The father of Hip Hop Kool Herc gives us a very rare interview documenting the birth of Hip Hop, how he ran the game throughout the 1970’s, how his man Coke La Rock was the very first rap emcee, the records he discovered, how he almost died for this culture, his battle with drugs, health issues and his top five emcees and deejays. This one is for the history books. We do this for the culture!

Read moreTreach from Naughty By Nature was one of many legendary guests on SiriusXM Backspin’s recent Hip-Hop For Herc event (hosted by Chuck D of Public Enemy with The Wonder TwinZ on the turntables), which raised awareness of the fact that one of hip-hop’s founding fathers, DJ Kool Herc, is suffering from spiraling medical bills, and because he is uninsured, cannot pay for them. Treach did an impromptu performance of Naughty By Nature’s “O.P.P. ” and “Uptown Anthem” with help from DoitAll from Lords Of The Underground, Kangol Kid of UTFO, Lil’ Fame of M.O.P. and JDL from Cold Crush Brothers.
