Rap haters need not apply this week as NGI takes a listen to just a sampling of remixes from the hip-hop artists of the community, including amazing works from zyko, Joe Cam’s Crakaz, Navi, 8-Bit Duane, The Amazing BrandO, and more! Kyle, Larry and Suraida also sit down with the amazing talent of José the Bronx Rican, who talks about his past and upcoming projects, influences in gaming and hip-hop music, and some great insight into his video editing process. Suraida also took an art challenge this week, and whipped up an awesome tribute to José’s ‘Knuckles’ Unknown from M.C.’: Knock Knock Knuckles!
