On this episode we are joined by a true OG in the Buffalo Hip-Hop culture....Speedie Da Icon.  Speedie invited us to the grand opening of the Struggle Compound on 2400 Seneca Street in South Buffalo.  The Struggle Compound is an embodiment of the Hip-hop culture with a state of the art studio, tattoo shop, clothing and appareal, barbershop, custom grillz, as well as being the only 'Cookies' distributer in Buffalo.  Speedie shares with us his journey up until this monumental point of the compound opening.  Speedie talks about moving from Newark, NJ to Buffalo, NY and trying to make a name for himself in Buffalo.  He shares with us his influences growing up, the history of NY Hip-hop, seeing Griselda's come up, and what's next for Struggle Records......
