“When did you fall in love with hip hop?” This is the question we asked local hip hop artists and hip hop influencers as we countdown to the birthday of hip hop, which is on August 11. Here is what Radio B (radioblitz) had to say: “I was born among hip hop. I was born in the Bronx, New York in the early eighties. The same place hip hop was born. So, whether I knew it or not, the environment around me created my love for hip hop. I had older siblings that were into it and my older brother rap. It was something I grew with it as it grew. And I think because it's such a deep culture, it's just it was inherent. And then for me, falling deeper in love with it In high school, when I started rapping, you know, people being in ciphers and things like that in school. I was born in love with hip hop and I married it in high school.” #myvpm #yourvirginia #hiphop #hiphopanniversary
