Blog: Tha 'A' Side

I started Tha 'A' Side after several failed attempts at blogging; it took a while for me to find what I wanted the focus to be and after letting my heart (instead of my mind) lead the way,  it was born. I always knew Detroit had a scene, but I didn't know just how big and influential that scene was. I figured if I didn't know other people wouldn't either. I have always loved music, but the hip-hop culture is so enticing to me. The five elements—DJing, graffiti, knowledge/community awareness, breakdancing, and rapping—all played a role in my upbringing, hip-hop is me.
Getting started in the Detroit scene was simpler than I thought especially with the social network Twitter. I'm happy I started the blog, besides meeting great people I get to do what I love.
