Bavu Blakes is a brick in the foundation of the Austin Hip Hop scene and is now focusing on “how the original Hip Hop generation leverages their resources for today’s generation“. We talk about:
- His upbringing as the direct target for the emerging Hip Hop culture.
- The birth of Hip Hop Humpday and what it brought to Austin.
- Freestyling vs writing.
- His move to California and how Austin has changed when he came back.
- His role as an educator, teaching 7th graders and Hip Hop Grew Up.
- The concept of the Summer Saturday Songs series.
