Breaking Down Barriers: Simmons’ Hip-Hop Explosion
“My experiences have been, from the very beginning, cultural and creative,” says Simmons. “And my business has been a way of exposing the culture, exposing the artists so that the world could hear and see them.”
Rick Rubin and Russell Simmons
One was a college dropout who began promoting local rap acts in the ghettos of New York; the other was an NYU student who spent more time playing in punk bands than he did in class. One knew nothing but hip hop; the other nothing but rock. Nevertheless, after a chance encounter at a New York club, Rick Rubin and Russell Simmons became fast friends. Together, they would go on to found the most influential hip hop label in the world, and change the face of American music forever.

Playing no small part in receiving this award was Combs’ line of contemporary women’s wear Sean by Sean Combs.

M.I. aka Hip-Hop Messiah, Uncut, a Ladybrille Exclusive
It is past midnight in Nigeria and roughly about 3:00pm in California when I get the call from Jude Abaga aka M.I. [pronounced ‘em eye’]. He has been out and about all day plus he tells me “dealing with Lagos traffic jams” aka “go slows” so he renegotiates our interview time. When his call comes through, he is full of apologies his voice taking on a humble tone, quite contrary to the one I am used to from my sound system i.e. bold, strong and unapologetic for his mad talent, intelligence and refreshing MC skills.
