One, two, Crate 808 is coming for you. Three, four, better lock your door. Five, six, here’s your hip hop fix!
Today we hope to keep your Halloweens spooky by continuing our Hip Hop Heads Talk Horror series, and this one is big. We sit down to celebrate 40 years of an iconic, genre-shifting, pop culture behemoth – Wes Craven’s classic ‘A Nightmare on Elm Street’ from 1984.
Joining in the fun, we have Myke C-Town and Alaska Atoms, with dope contributions from hip hop heads Simon Ward and Tom Comey 🔪
