There’s a thread of truth that runs through the history of Hip Hop– not Old School, not New School, but TRUE School. If it’s got intelligent lyrics, tasty samples, rugged beats, and a beating heart, I probably spin it. I am trying to honor the many great DJs, MCs, and musicians who have fueled my love of music and shaped me as an artist and human being.

To drop some names:

• De La Soul
• The Roots
• Mos Def
• Blackalicious
• K-Os
• Lauryn Hill
• Talib Kweli
• Ohmega Watts
• Jurassic5
• Black Eyed Peas
• Fugees

These are the sounds and thoughts that guide my hands when I rock. Come bounce with me…
