Jeff Baraka x Rakim (HNHH)
Posted by on February 4, 2013
A too brief conversation with the GodMC. Produced in association with HNHH and The Shrine Chicago
(bonus: I was also the off-camera interviewer for Cam Be’s excellent piece from the same night).
Talkin’ to Rakim was a big deal to me personally, because he’s one of my primary influences as an MC. I wasn’t prepared to interview him when we 1st met over the summer, but we plugged-in and he agreed to make it happen the next time… respect!
