About

So far out in Queens that it’s barely New York City. There’s no subway, only a Long Island Railroad stop. It’s crazy! Just like Hollis (Run-DMC) which is right next to St. Albans, the neighborhood Tribe came up in. Isn’t it weird how these places that are so far out there, but could still produce really active hiphop communities?
