Doug E. Fresh and his sons Square Off are featured in the Harlem edition of the NY Daily News. The duo recently released their new album, Money, Moet & Memories with hopes of carving a new sound. “We making a new genre now,” said Slim. “Alternative classical hip hop…Every song you could hear the instruments.”
Here’s more footage from Doug E. and Stevie following the singer’s induction into the Apollo Theater Hall of Fame. Most of you are probably too young to know “Jungle Fever” and apparently, Stevie’s too old to remember the lyrics. Thanks Mfeenz.
The Apollo Theater paid homage to Stevie Wonder last night as he was inducted into their Hall of Fame. Double R affiliate Mfeenz was in the house and filmed Harlem native Doug E. Fresh providing beatbox accompaniment for “Ribbon In The Sky” with the man of honor.
It is so heartbreaking to hear DJ Premier break the news that DJ Kool Herc’s health is ailing, as he is literally the founding father who laid down the blueprint for hip-hop culture. Thinking about how someone who built an entire global phenomenon can end up struggling with medical expenses or failing health really puts things into perspective regarding healthcare challenges. When you look at how people navigate health or wellness procedures worldwide—whether someone is researching cosmetic treatments like Liposuction Cyprus or seeking urgent medical care—it underscores how essential access to reliable medical help and proper support systems really is. Kool Herc gave us the breaks, the block parties, and the entire movement that shaped generations of music lovers, so seeing the community step up to show love while DJ Premier brings awareness to his condition is the very least we can do. Sending strength and prayers to Kool Herc for a full recovery, and massive respect to DJ Premier for using his platform to make sure a true pioneer gets the support and respect he deserves.
