NCCU is my undergrad alma mater and I’m a proud Eagle. Like I said back in November I always rep hard for my school.
My crew I met the first week of school freshman year, we all still hang tight. I whoop up on them in spades, pinchole or hearts whenever they’re feeling froggy. What up Mel, T-Dog, Ruthless Red and Big Sexy!
I wanted to celebrate Black Music Month by pointing out fellow Eagles who have made contributions to the music world. The following are musicians who have attended or graduated from NCCU:
The group Little Brother was formed at NCCU.
Hip Hop producer 9th Wonder attended NCCU while working as a DJ for WNCU.
Grady B. Tate is a soul jazz drummer.
Alvin Atkinson is a drummer.
Stanley Baird plays the lead saxophone for The Stanley Baird Group.
Sunshine Anderson released her debut album in 2001.
Mike City (aka Michael Flowers) is a producer and songwriter.
Christopher “Play” Martin is now an artist-in-residence for North Carolina Central University’s Hip Hop in Context 101 class.
Marcus Anderson competed this past weekend in Washington, DC, at the 6th Annual Capital Jazz Challenge Competition.
