Probably my favorite experience as a music writer came when I was given the task of building leading hip-hop website NahRight's features section from the ground up. I was hired as their new features editor in June, 2013, and my first order of business was figuring out how to cultivate a features section on what was primarily known as a destination for new music. So I developed a series of interview and list franchises, and steadily built them up, posting two feature stories a week. See some of my favorites below.

UPDATE: THE LINKS BELOW ARE NO LONGER LIVE AS THE SITE IS NOW DEFUNCT. BUT AS YOU CAN SEE FROM THE ARTICLE TITLES, I PUT IN SOME SERIOUS WORK AT NAHRIGHT INTERVIEWING SOME LEGENDARY ARTISTS. PLEASE FIND ORIGINAL NAHRIGHT MIXES CREATED AND PRODUCED BY ME HERE.
