Ep. 39 Hip-Hop in Queens with Miss Mar - The 'Total Clarity' Podcast

It's our second of three music-themed walks around NYC, and this week we spanned the entire borough of Queens to visit five havens of hip-hop: Queensbridge, Corona, Jamaica, Hollis and St. Albans. We were joined for our walk through Queensbridge by the fantastic Miss Mar, a young MC with over a decade plus of music already to her name. We talk growing up in the borough, her hip-hop beginnings, the state of the music scene and her clothing company, The Cool Table NYC.   

 

**CLARIFICATION** On the topic of Kiing Shooter's death @ 46:20 - Shooter passed away due to cirrhosis and possible COVID-19 complications. Miss Mar provided the following information after the interview: “When I [Miss Mar] first heard of Kiing Shooters death, it was portrayed as if he had gotten shot but there was never no explanation as to why he got shot, simply an assumption made by several outsiders looking in; this gives the idea that, there is always rap beef in the hip-hop industry - that is so real - it leads to people losing their life. Please note, Shooter passed away due to health complications. Our deep condolences to his family always.” More info on his wiki: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kiing_Shooter
