Music news True Hip-Hop Stories: The Homeless Emcee
Posted by Rodney Carmichael @Rappin_Rodney on Mon, Apr 6, 2009 at 4:00 AM
D-Nice, who began his career in the late '80s as a DJ, producer and rapper down with KRS-One and Boogie Down Productions, has since become an accomplished photographer.
One of his ongoing projects, True Hip-Hop Stories, is a series of mini-docs in which he features MCs from rap's golden era telling the stories behind classic songs, including Dana Dane ("Nightmares," "Cinderfella"), Buckshot of Black Moon ("How Many MCs"), Kwame ("The Rhythm"), Monie Love ("Monie in the Middle"), Masta Ace ("The Symphony"), and so on.
But his most compelling True Hip-Hop Story thus far: the homeless MC whom he met in the streets of Brooklyn.
