Please check back for our kick off to this series before the end of 2016.

One of my favorite rappers, Sean Price, passed away August 2015. Since I basically grew up on hip hop from the 80s/90s, it only felt right to go to the tribute show. It was a really nice show featuring members of Boot Camp Clik, Rock (other half of Heltah Skeletah) Tek (of Smiff-N-Wessun), Slaine, hosted by Leeds Edutainment and Duck Down Productions. All proceeds went to his wife and four children. Click here to donate directly to Duck Down Music's crowd funding page. #riP
