KINGDOM ROCK KORNA

A Chicagoan's perspective on life in Chicago focused on hip hop culture, art, entertainment, sports and politics.

When we talk graffiti in Chicago we must salute our brother WARP. Hear him for yourself. Google pioneer since 1980.

Okay here a photo dump enjoy and tag yourself and your friends if you see them. Well this is more of homage the talent that is @RonnieBoykinsjr the “New Gordon Parks; of Chicago Hip Hop.” Ronnie has on the scene for over 20 years, supporting artists, by donating graphics, photoshop, flyers for the advancement of those he believes in. I have seen him spend almost as much money as the artists he was working with.

When Ronnie came to us with the idea we said let’s do it. Go to #awesomedaychicago24 and get a copy

I haven’t been here in awhile and a lot has transpired. I had a moment to sit down due to health, and God and the support system got me through. At the same time we have maintained the creation of the Chicago Hip Hop Heritage Museum and our team is growing organically and through trial and error we learned to stop forcing relationships. Our open door policy and transparency, are often misunderstood and we grin and bare it. Why??? Because we have always had the field of dream mentality. So we said we could do it people doubted that there wasn’t enough history in Chicago Hip Hop, and we thought “well how little do you think of yourselves.” Almost symbiotically, we (Artistic, B.Gorman and C.Kingdom Rock) said “let us show you.”

See,,we are not only contributors to what we term “The Heritage” of Chicago arts and entertainment scene, but were/and are fans of every artists in Chicago that “rose through the cracks in the concrete.” We know what it means to be from Chicago and we have “Roots in the Chi,” and have been connected to so many artists from every element for over 35 decades and we brung our catalogs together for that initial pop up the possibilities only then became tangible to you the NON-BELIEVERS. We all ready knew you should be celebrated and that what did and do only adds to my individual greatness, for we are nothing if not together. So I will stop here and dumps some video from #AwesomeDayChicago, with our Brother Malik from the Temple of Hip Hop, (Thanks Brother) just because you read all that. C.Kingdom Rock Illa

If I disappear would you notice, have you noticed? Did you assume that I was great and that the world had removed all the barricades?? Well, I’m great and I keep running at them barricades and they have haven’t stop US. WE keep building and nurturing this baby of OURS that is known as CHICAGO HIP HOP HERITAGE MONTH and subsequently the placed WE planted roots and named THE CHICAGO HIP HOP HERITAGE MUSEUM (www.chhhm.com).

20 years ago, the City of Chicago and Mayor Daley signed a resolution, “BE IT RESOLVED, that the month of July shall be recognized as the CHICAGO HIP HOP HERITAGE MONTH.” 7/9/2003.

With the work of the many crews, groups and organizations WE the hip hop community celebrated the adopted principles of the essence of Hip Hop that WE used to save our lives and subsequently millions of others; especially here in Chicago.

“I learned how to pop and do the robot from watching Soul Train,” says me Kingdom Rock of Illa. The guy that made “The Blue Gargoyle” a landmark in Chicago Hip Hop.

When most people speak of Soul Train they forget to mention the history of the National syndication that started at the board of trade building here in Chicago. By an officer turned radio personality DJ on WVON (the voice of the Negro) with galant talents, smooth flow and colorful lyrical skills as the host Don Cornelius. They also forget mention that Clinton Ghent who maintained the Chicago local show with the same name way before Shemar Moore who seems to get more credit than Chicago’s own.

Fun Fact did you know the Harlem Globetrotter were also started here in Chicago? How about Pigmeat Markham “The Godfather of Rap,” was recorded here in Chicago in 1961; he was already 57.

Well, the team at CHHHM have knocked it out the park again for year three #3; since we went brick and mortar with the museum located in the historic community of Bronzeville 4505 S. Indiana, Chicago, Illinois. Still a labor of love that rewards come when people learn something or we were able to award someone their flowers.
