From it's humble 1970 Bronx roots, hip hop has grown from an expression of urban street culture to the world's dominant popular culture. Hip hop culture is built of its key elements: MCing or rapping; DJing; b-boying or breakdancing; graffiti art; beatboxing; hip hop fashion; and street knowledge (language and entrepreneurship). 

In this episode, we are joined by DJ Skaz Digga. Old-skool Hip Hop heads will recognize Skaz as the long time DJ and maestro for Hip Hop legend Big Daddy Kane. With 27 years in the game, Skaz is also a co-founder of the Butta Team Crew, co-owner of FlavorFruitStudios, DJ host of the Doug E. Fresh Show, and house DJ for FUBU Radio, and producer and owner of KingDomeComeMusic and LikeMindProductions. With Skaz we discuss his upbringing in Durham, how he got his start, what it takes to make it in Hip Hop, and the origins and future of the music, culture, and movement.
