Happy Birthday!
In this segment, The Roshua Review would like to slow down and celebrate life in the Hip-Hop stratosphere. In an environment where death gets so much attention, it would be refreshing to appreciate that so many artists are still living. July was home to many artists’ birthdays, and most of them had strong impacts on the culture of rap. So many birthday wishes to Chuck D, Kool Moe Dee, Kurtis Blow, Funkmaster Flex, Coolio, Joe Budden, Lil Romeo, Nate Dogg, Mase, Masta Killa, Paul Rosenberg, Gza, Sir Mix-a-lot, DJ Spinderella, Fat Joe, & Ali Shaheed!
