Daily Bread (Apolly Brown & Hasssan Mackey) – Tell Me (MP3)

Agent of Change :: The New Boyz and Paper Route Gangstaz, a retropsect

I’ve been trying to wrap my head around this Healthcare debate all month. Translation: I neglected the second in a three-part series of exclusive interviews with artists of tomorrow (b.k.a. the Agent of Change summer series). Last month I highlighted Detroit rhymesayer Finale. Luckily my URB colleagues have it covered. Below are two in-depth interviews with leaders of different, though equally innovative, movements. The first highlights The New Boyz: colorful, fun-loving maestros of the Jerkin’ revolution that’s sweeping the Southland. The second delves into the depths of the Dirty Dirty; Alabama’s Paper Route Gangstaz get gully and let loose. Both interviews were featured on URB.com earlier this month. Respect.
