Last Saturday I was in Boston for a summit on social innovation at Harvard University. But, before I left I stopped by Dudley Library in Roxbury to do a workshop on Hip-Hop, Media, and Mass Incarnation called “America’s Most Wanted”. After the workshop I sat down with Boston Hip-Hop artist Catch Wreck to talk about my favorite and least favorite things in Hip-Hop nowadays, the creation of 1Hood, and why just being a conscious artist isn’t enough.
