I am not of the impression that an overwhelming amount Hip Hop artists are super savvy on Broadway and it's goings-on, but who knows.
Some people can rap, some can sing, some can write, some can do all of the above.
Sometimes we just need a space that gives us permission to be the best, most full version of our artistic selves, and we flourish.
It still feels like Hip Hop is in the early '80s on Broadway.
