Show notes

The Hip Hop industry has long been obsessed with money. From Jay-Z to Birdman, making money has been a theme throughout. Much of this, is simply the acknowledgment that money makes the world go ‘round; a clairvoyant observation. It is this observation that makes cryptocurrency and Hip Hop a perfect match.
