Ideas. Words. Culture.
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.
