Stevio...LA LA Lovin' It?

I'm British-born Chinese from Bristol, UK. I’m LA-based. I’m a hip hop aficionado. After 15 years in London I moved to LA to pursue a new career and outlook on life.

Back in the 80s I was a DJ. In the 90s I contributed to the world's first street style exhibition at London's Victoria & Albert Museum. In 2011, I had my first interviews published. Today, I’m keeping busy with music, art, photos and writing.

Yo! MTV Raps: April is no fool to hip-hop heritage

No April Fool...the classic "Yo! MTV Raps" is back for its 20th anniversary! But only for the month of April, so catch it whilst you can on TV and online.

To commemorate seven years of amazing rap TV (1988-1995) MTV is sharing all this hip-hop goodness with us. Remember Ed Lover, Doctor Dre and Fab 5 Freddy? And to support, SEEN, the music blog I contribute to wrote a lil' something to show MTV love!

Top 20 Imagine trying to boil down 80s-90s rap to 20 top videos? Well, Fab 5 Freddy gave it a go. The three elements that matter? Videos that had heavy play rotation, had a memorable vibe, and helped transform the hip-hop world (aka huuuuge impact).
