Can Hip Hop has save Black America? That's the question we pose to a hip hop originator the legendary DJ Hurricane. Hurricane cut his teeth in hip hops early years alongside Run DMC and his best friend Jam Master Jay while creating his own brand as the long time DJ for the Beastie Boys.

On this episode we talk how hip hop has created an economy allowing more of us to thrive and survive than sports. We also hear his thoughts on the growth and future of hip hop and learn if maybe hip hop missed an opportunity to create advocates in white america where enemies now stand.

Hurricane breaks down his role in hip hop today, his daughter's success on the reality show Growing Up Hip Hop, and spills the bean on his new project Jay’s Hat, launching soon!!!

Tune in now and understand the experience of not just growing up hip hop but being active in the birth of hip hop
