The Latin Quarter was the incubator of the Golden Era of Hip Hop 1985 – 1988. It was the scene of epic battles and performances..ie KRS-One vs Mele-Mel., KRS-1 VS MC Shan etc.. It was where folks like Public Enemy, Queen Latifah, Big Daddy Kane, Eric B & Rakim, Salt & Pepa, Kid & Play, 3rd Bass, Schoolly D, Jungle Brothers and numerous others went to get their start.
We relive those lofty days with Paradise Gray of X-Clan.. he was the one who ran the show back in the days and he has lots of insights and stories to tell. Enjoy the interview
