What a week it has been in hip hop, first off rest in peace to Chris Kelly of Kris Kross and check out the reflection on their career by Hip Hop Vibe. Death is a natural part of life, which goes on no matter what. In an effort to lighten the mood, another week in hip hop has gone by and it has been as exciting as any other.
Hopefully, listeners of DJ Clue’s Desert Storm Radio and DJ Symphony’s Radio Invasion had a chance to hear “In the Mix” for this week. Working as a DJ and having a rising radio show means A LOT of music gets played. There is so much talent leaking throughout the hip hop world, it becomes tough to select just five, but someone has to.
