The Roshua Review September 2015 | Page 10

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. September was home to many artists’ birthdays, and most of them had strong impacts on the culture of rap. So many birthday wishes to Foxy Brown, Noreaga, the late Eazy-E, Big Daddy Kane, Ludacris, Nas, Xzibit, Cappadonna, Mystikal, Jermaine Dupri, Trick Daddy, TI, Will Smith, and Lil Wayne.
