Edan by Ricky Powell
Recommended Reading / Hip Hop History First, it is best to pull up some Edan + Ricky Powell clips on youtube and listen to their voices. Second, you keep those in your head and read the interview in their voices. Third, you enjoy how bugged out this somewhat tame interview really is.
