"Women & Hip-Hop" by Lauren LoDo Surratt (A to J Productions)

I wanted to present to you a well-written & well thought-out couple of essays on women and hip-hop by Lauren "LoDo" Surratt. She happens to be my second cousin, daughter of my cousin Walter and his wife, Sue. Lauren has formed A to J Productions with her husband, Tristan. You might recall Tristan as my first guest blogger, The Engin33r.

After reading these companion articles, please check out their website for A to J Productions, which you can do at either link.

Enjoy!

By the way, Missy Elliott sings, too. See video at end.
