The Hip Hop Lab
Rosesarereal’s hip hop lab at TCMG studios this Saturday was a reincarnation of 80’s hip hop culture with a modern day 808 twist. It reminded me of the days when acts like Fab5Freddy, Goldie, and Madonna would once roam the Lower East Side of NYC, painting the streets with bravado, class, and eccentricity. The vibrant […]
