Shaun Kelly - TRAP ( Shaun Kelly presents ORI NUGO) @orinugo77 #BLKHistory #Queens #DrumzNBarz #PlanetU

The scene is the fall of 1996 the setting is the World famous “Gorman Hall” located in central dormitory area in University of Massachusetts America. I was a freshmen fresh meat on campus with one objective the take over lol. Reflecting back this is where I started my journey in the music business. A brother from another Shaun Kelly was a sophomore from Queens NYC, whose gifted with a musical ear especially in percussion. We would argue over who the best rappers at the times where. Shaun being from Queens he is representing Nas, in the meanwhile my favorite rapper was Redman. We would argue, Red Sox vs Yankees, Pats vs The Giants, for every healthy debate would be seeds planted to a lifetime friendship. Years later he has drummed for Les Nubians, Blitz thee Ambassador, Sade & many more. A world traveler as a musician now it’s his moment.

College is a special place take advantage of your academics obligation first and foremost but also connect with people. For me i met many lifelong friends at Umass “Zoomas” Amherst all who are very talented, too many to list right now. I value this particular Bro its his moment , much love because of the countless memories we shared. I wanted to see NYC, one weekend, we gas

Make a long story short, the homie is talented check out his first joint and video

POC (People of Color) in Video Games by @cappsoffgaming #BLKHistoryMonth #VideoGames #SegaGensis #StreetsOf Rage

Yes, it's the 80s/90s folks and I'm feeling anything that involves cartoons, comics, and of course, video games (still do lolz). To find people of color (POC) in both cartoons and comics wasn't really hard to find. Shows like for example, Thundercats, had a very strong, inventive POC (and he was!), Panthro. He built the Thundertank and also was an expert in martial arts, something that a lot of my peers were already into (Saturday kung fu flicks!). Later on, reading a comic book series called Spawn, which also had a HBO series, too. To see a black man have such a role in comic, next to Power Man aka Luke Cage, was a real treat, plus he didn't fit the stereotypes at the time (drug dealer/user, gangbanger, etc).

But through most of my early gaming (TRS-80, Nintendo, and Sega Master System), I rarely saw a character/protagonist that "looked" like me, thus why I created this video to explore the very first instants that I encountered POC in video games. Hope you like it, there's more to come so stay tuned! #cappsoffgaming
