Keeping with our recent run of interviews with people not directly affiliated with education, we bring Damon "King D" Murakami, local hip hop artist from the legendary crew, Lyrical Prophets Strictly Dope (LPSD). We discuss San Diego hip hop history, his experience with education, and give props to some of our best from SD. This is a piece where I got a chance to chronicle the thoughts of an emcee that I highly respect, while reflecting on my own time building and connecting hip hop circles in San Diego. I hope you enjoy.
