Hop was created in the early ‘70s in the South Bronx out of two key moments: the death of Cornell “Black Benjy” Benjamin and the Hoe Ave peace meeting in 1971.

all over again and that’s what survivors do. There was a time when I was in the 3rd grade when I realized how much I loved music; I started off writing poetry then that led into me starting to write rap songs.

Around that time I was taking Piano Lessons, but never really understood the value of the lessons. Like any child, music was something I was forced to, forced to practice over and over until I hated the sight of a piano book with a burning passion.
