FEATURE FRIDAYS: BARRY
In my near 2 decades of actively participating in Hip-Hop culture, it’s inevitable that some of the taste of today’s youth seems like an entirely different world from what I know as ‘Hip Hop’.  The culture of Swag has overshadowed the art of Spitters and now the ability to write a catchy hook holds exponential stock compared to it’s lowly competitor of being able to...

FEATURE FRIDAYS: 大支 (DOG G)
大支，台灣嘻哈音樂界的指標性人物。 曾於2002發行過台灣首張全饒舌專輯＂舌燦蓮花＂，除了與當時大馬戲團的盟友熱狗與J.Wu合作外，更跨國與韓國的Joosuc與香港的MC仁合作。大支以國/台語雙聲帶饒舌，熟練的技巧與創意的發想總是讓人驚艷，他更扮演了熱狗早期崛起重要的綠葉角色，但是當然，大支不只是這樣而已。 他是臺灣唯一登上美國時代雜誌、CNN、路透社、法新社、泰唔士報、德意志報、Discovery探索頻道節目MADE IN TAIWAN人物專訪的饒舌歌手(詳見維基百科—大支)。睽違9年未發行個人專輯，他依舊以大量的freestyle創作時事相關歌曲，保持能見度與影響力。同時在台南成立人人有功練嘻哈饒舌工作室，聚集對嘻哈音樂有熱誠的朋友一起推廣嘻哈文化並從事公益活動。 ...
