International Hip Hop :: The Alison Edition

A few weeks ago, I took a group trip to Siwa, Egypt. It was an interesting 9-10 hour bus ride w/about 20 people. They were, mostly, a nice group, but at times I felt as if I'd been dumped in a reality TV show. The good thing is, I met some folks who I'll keep in touch w/for life. Like Alison.

At some point, I mentioned that I have a hip hop blog and that I was interested in expounding my international hip hop repertoire. There were a good amount of recommendations and I probably remember about two of them.

But that Alison, she's a bright one. She sends me an email (with links) and says 'hey, check out these folks on the international hip hop front'. Who does that? All I know is ... I likes folks who follow up. So, here it is: Alison's International Hip Hop Edition.

Hip Hop on Broadway?

Could legendary hip hop make its way to Broadway? Yes, especially if the focus is on the iconic hip hop group Run-DMC. I'm sure that their native New Yorker status won't hurt.
