Ep. 44: (BTS) A Master Class in Long Island Hip-Hop Culture. (Marguerite Lanaux, Esq. - District Public Defender for Baltimore City)

Welcome to this month’s Behind the Scenes Episode with District Public Defender for the City of Baltimore, Attorney Marguerite Lanaux. For this episode - I decided to focus on the rich hip-hop culture of Marguerite’s hometown of Long Island, NY. Most people talk about New York City being the birthplace of hip-hop....they mention the importance of the Bronx, Brooklyn, Queens and even Staten Island…. but as my loyal listeners and fellow hip-hop heads already know - Long Island has been a major part of hip-hop since the beginning!Biz Markie, EPMD, Public Enemy, and De La Soul – are just a few of the groups and artists that we will discuss today. Sit back, relax and enjoy! Welcome to Behind the Scenes.
