What she could not have foreseen was how much the two worlds would end up colliding.
“When hip-hop started evolving past just like CDs, they began to tell us like, ‘Oh, this runs off of it.&#; Everything about hip-hop is digital now, so it’s interesting to see. Some people like it, some people don’t, but it’s interesting to see the growth and how we keep leveraging some type of digital spa
