Scratching records, rhyming, and growing up
up while the country was interested in jailing the fathers
and mothers of people in color. When I was growing
up I would go to clubs where DJ’s were cutting
records and we could dance or listen to new mixes and cuts.
My boyfriend at that time was notorious for grabbing the mic.
He would include me and my cousins in his raps
at times, but hardly put us on stage with him. We would
rap together and I was pretty good on the mic.
I would sit for hours writing rhymes. This really was a
time of self impression and the boom of HipHop.
