In early 96 I was a junior in high school where one day I randomly called the up newspaper to ask why they never have any hip-hop albums being reviewed. A writer named Carol Robidoux called me back, she had asked her editor about my inquiry and he responded "if he wants a rap review so bad tell him to write one himself.." that's when she asked if I wanted to do just that and call him on his bluff. We did just that. Every other week for the next year and a half in the Life section of the Bucks County Courier Times you could find my review of newly released hiphop dopeness. In this issue I reviewed @djmuggs_the_black_goat_ @soul.assassins Chapter 1 & I was 'Cloned' all over the paper for an article. weCourier had daily circulation of about 70,000 readers. My dream was/is to work for @sheckygreenlv the Philly kid that founded @thesource and oddly enough I met him and rapped with @eminem outside the Electric Factory in 98, he told me to 'keep writing, bring intelligence and realness" . #beenwritingmywholelife #ididitforhiphop #broughtraptothebreakfasttable #freelancelot #publishedworks #calkinsmedia #buckscounty #couriertimes #bcct #reality #hiphopjournalism #bragginwrites #dothewritething #thesource #thebible #hewhowriteshasleadinhispencil
