The Music Center!

This was one of my favorite stores since I was a little kid.  The first place I ever rented videos from in the 80s and also the first place I ever bought music, once I started getting old enough to buy music.  The neighborhood hip hop record shop but they sold all genres of music, graphic tees, posters, etc.  Bought lots of vinyl, cassettes, and mix tapes in this spot!

Chilling in Disney World

Chilling with my big cuz in Disney World. This is the man who first introduced me to hip hop, along with my other cuz P-Nut (RIP). My first memory of hip hop is of watching the video for Planet Rock on channel 68 at my crib on 4th Ave in BK. Had to be like 82 or 83! I was 4 or 5! Word up.

Baruch Houses, Lower East Side, NY, NY

Here are some shots taken outside the Baruch Houses in Manhattan.  The houses were brand new.  They hadn’t even done the landscaping or put in the benches yet.
