It is a blessing when remarkable people allow us to interview them. Those conversations are reflections of us both, that’s why it’s imperative that what we ask matters.
One of the people we were blessed to speak with was Hip Hop artist Wuzee!
On August 11, 2023, he will join Sixman and a lineup of great artists in Grand Rapids, MI for HIP HOP 50Th Anniversary Music Fest live at top-rated venue The Pyramid Scheme. It’s a once-in-a-lifetime event sponsored by WYCE Radio, NOXX and COOKIES GR, Wasted Brand Clothing, Debo Scotty (Power Moves Only), Vitale’s On Leonard, THIS ENT, and Feeding America (West Michigan).
With this cultural milestone in mind, we asked Wuzee THIS GOOD QUESTION: What excites you about celebrating the 50th anniversary of Hip Hop and why is this milestone so culturally and socially important?
He answered, “I’m just happy to have to be a part of the culture and I am fortunate that I have been able to do as much as I have as a direct result of Hip Hop.
Celebrating 50 years of the culture is super important to me because I feel like a lot of our history has been erased and Hip Hop has been one of the tools that has helped a lot of us find our own identity. On top of that, it’s important that we show respect to the people who were doing it first and paved the ways for us to have such a big platform to create on.
Hitting the milestone of 50 years is incredible and, like I said, I’m just blessed to be a part of my city’s Hip Hop history.” | THIS ENT
