Hip-hop is the music genre that started it all, but we will only go over the basics below. Enjoy!

Community... a concept I adore and have always believed in. I've always assumed, and keep believing, that without a community, no business or initiative can succeed. They serve as the foundation and growth for everything that is being built in the world. I have a community of people who read or follow my work regularly; Walmart has one, Apple has one, Supreme has one, you have one, and the list goes on. Everyone and everything has a community. They would not be who they are today if these communities did not exist.
