Big Ups To The Mighty Zulu Nation & The Whole Bronx River!!!

i was too young to get in them clubs uptown, but definitely checked the battle tapes out on big boomboxes they had out back then.... Too bad the hip-hop generation of today don't acknowledge or respect these humble beginnings in rap!!!!- Peace

Yooooooo!!! This just fucked my head UP! Imagine a 16 y/o starting out in the heart of Bed-Stuy on the J-train going all the way to White Plains and Gunhill on the 2-train to check this spot. NYC-heads know what that ride means. Loved every minute of it. Four hour train ride and all. Cause I know we was going to see and hear some dope shit! soserious551 if the T-Connection was your pops' club, much respect. A profound impact on my life. Later 'yall.
