Hip Hop Culture

I am a Chicago-based writer, b-boy, promoter, and visual historian who has been documenting hip hop culture since the 1990s. From breakdancing and street culture to live events and storytelling, my work preserves the legacy and evolution of Chicago hip hop and beyond. What you see here is a small fragment of a much larger body of work dedicated to capturing the people, moments, and energy that have shaped the culture.
