Syracuse Hip-Hop On The Fringe

Published a story covering the hip-hop scene in upstate New York. While it can be difficult for artists to be discovered, groups like Last Hope Entertainment are working hard to build something on the ground they stand on.

Progress is a slow process, but longevity is the true reward.
