    Could legendary hip hop make its way to Broadway? Yes, especially if the focus is on the iconic hip hop group Run-DMC. I'm sure that their native New Yorker status won't hurt.Check the deets in this recent New York Times article:Musical About Run-DMC...

just to throw some fire on the kettle. It is a big deal for the roots to settle down.
I have been on tour with many groups including the roots and they were hustlin,a show every night almost on multiple tours at once!

also on that mainstream hip hop vs underground or indy stuff yea the market is crazy right now and it really boils down to whos paying to get their name out there.! thats one of the reasons why i made this film about underground hip hop and the struggle to be a mainstream artist. Now that I see the response that I am getting on this subject I decided to reformat my website gearing towards independent music because people care about hip hop with a passion

peep the movie out

Hey y'all,

Since I'm a new artist (lyricist/composer/producer) in the rap game, I've been interested in your type of website/blog (the indie kind I mean). Your blog is really great and I'd like to have your opinion on my world : www.irasworld.com !!

You can listen to the instrumentals of my upcoming album and read the thread of the concept of that album on the page Iras' Music (www.irasworld.com/iras-music) !!
My voice is being recorded as we speak and the whole songs will be posted as one goes along and the first bash will be posted in few weeks.

However since a lot of people have been asking to listen to my voice, I've posted old collaborations in order for the world to understand my style (www.irasworld.com/iras-music).


Godspeed,
Sincerely,

Iras
