Earlier this summer I waxed poetic about a perceived “Revival” in the RDU hip hop scene. True cyphers have returned, the lyrical talent bubbling around these parts is amazing and several artists and record labels are receiving national attention. In this mini-mini documentary, a small example of the current lyrical talent in RDU {Raleigh-Durham-Chapel Hill, NC} is featured.
Video features:
–Footage from a recent Kooley High {Rapsody, Tab-One, Charlie Smarts, DJ Ill Digitz} show. Producer Foolery {of Kooley High} makes a beat live during the performance.
–Behind The Scenes footage of Shelly B & Derty Den’s “Stuntin” video shoot.
–Footage from a recent IWWMG Showcase & cypher with Actual Proof {Sundown & Enigma}, Chopps {of M1-Platoon}, Big Remo, Night Child, Kourvoisier, HaLo, King Mez and Khrysis.
