"Into the Hoods" was the first Hip Hop show to ever have a run at a London West End theatre (it ended up breaking Swan Lake's record for the longest running dance show). I was asked to perform a short monologue to introduce the proceedings every night. This poem "The Day Hip Hop Lied" served the dual purpose of bringing an insightful critique & celebration of Hip Hop culture to a traditional theatre-going audience.
Top rate, keep rollin' bro.
