The Kool Skool's Shucks One Interviews Will C - Boston Based Producer and MC

Boston and Massachusetts although less well known than Philly for Hip-Hop Culture, and like PA., just outside the Tri-State Area, it still has a rich Heritage in Hip-Hop, and in true Kool Skool style, we thought we would take a trip on Roads less travelled in the shape of Boston Based Producer/MC Will C.

DJ Shucks One the Idiot presents The Kool Skool Radio Show “Legends From Queens Series” Part 1 – “Queens Survivor” Cormega in Interview @ www.sensei.fm

DJ Shucks One the Idiot presents a brand new Radio Show “Legends From Queens Series” Part 1, featuring exclusive never heard interviews with Shucks and legendary Hip-Hop artists. Part 1“Queens Survivor” features Cormega in Interview.

***Listen HERE***





Cormega is an MC from Queens Bridge Projects, home of some of the most influential Hip-Hop acts ever. In the mid 80’s Marley Marl and the Juice Crew were dominating the Hip-Hop landscape. What many people don’t know is that Marley recorded many of his classic records in his Apartment in Queensbridge Projects, and many of the Juice Crew members MC Shan, Roxanna Shante, Tragedy and others are from Queensbridge.


Although most people are familiar with the Mega reference in Nas’s song, Cormega’s first time on wax was in 1989, MC Cor aka Cormega as a guest on Legendary Queens Bridge Block Party DJ – DJ Hot Day on the Tuff City released Going Straight Up featuring early Bridge MC Arkim and Shahid


Originally supposed to be a member of the super group The Firm headed by Nas, he found himself replaced by fellow Queens MC Nature, and his is debut album release postponed. His first album The Realness was released in (2001), an experience Mega feels is a blessing in disguise, as it prepared him for his future as an Independent artist.


The show is exclusive to UK Hip-Hop Culture Station Sensei.fm

For much of the early 90’s, as Nas and Mobb Deep were blowing up, Cormega was incarcerated. Cormega should be known alongside the mid 90’s next generation of new talent, OC, Keith Murray, Mic Geronimo, AZ, Nas, Mobb Deep and others who succeeded in bringing back NY flavoured Street Stories and sophisticated rhymes.


Shucks One ID Presents both Classic, Rare Tracks and meaningful conversation with Queens Vet Cormega

The Show features rare old & new tracks by Cormega, Kool Sphere, Capone & Noreaga CNN, Blaq Poet, DJ Premier, MC Eight, Beatnuts, AZ, Al-Tariq (Fashion), DJ Hot Day, Arkim, Kool G Rap, Lord Finesse, Tragedy Khadafi, De La Soul, Black Sheep, A Tribe Called Quest, Mobb Deep, Big L, Mic Geronimo, MOP, Sadat X, Royal Flush, Fabulous, Freddy Foxx, Large Professor, Nas and more.


Cormega has recently released a new album with a full live band called “Raw Forever”, and has a serious back catalogue of albums and guest spots the show features. The “Queens Survivor” Cormega Kool Skool Radio Show special is only a small selection of his music, please support the artist by going to http://www.legalhustle.net and purchase his music.
