About the Cartographer

SmithsonianDJ

I’ve been in love with hip-hop since I listened to the likes of Slum Village, OutKast, Nas and more. Emcee, college radio DJ, mobile DJ, beatmaker, poet…I’m a student of the game slowly trying to hit OG status, and I try to write from a lens I don’t see much in conversations about hip-hop. I still play around with the turntables and MPC every now and then: Instagram; Audiomack; Soundcloud.
