Keys 2 the City
Just as hip-hop itself is inseparable from its birthplace in the Bronx, every aspiring MC is eternally connected to the neighborhood they grew up in. “Keys 2 the City” explores the bond between community and MC’s by following them to the barbershops, BBQ joints, basketball courts, swap meets and schoolyards that shaped them into the artists we admire today. Over the next 8 weeks (from December 1st to February 1st), fans will get to know the MC’s, DJ’s, OG’s and architects of an LA hip-hop scene poised to jump from regional to national notoriety.
From West Coast gangster living with Dre protégés Bishop Lamont and The Game to Mid-City with Murs, down to Crooked I’s Long Beach to Melrose with The Knux, burritos with Blu, b-ball with U-N-I, chili fries with J. Davey, and street-wear stores with Pac Div.
We got the first of the videos up in this post but go here to watch the rest of the videos.
