In episode 178, Erik and Kerel sit down with Grouchy Greg Watkins, Founder at AllHipHop.com, a trusted source for daily hip hop news, videos, rumors, entertainment, features and more founded in 1998 by Grouchy Greg and Chuck Creekmur. Greg was born in Albany, NY to a black father and white mother, who eventually moved their family to Delaware. There, Greg got deeper into music, the break dancing scene, and even deeper into the racial tensions of that time. After selling and handing out demo tapes, Greg decided to start his own record label out of Delaware and from that came AllHipHop.com. During this conversation, Greg gives many insights from his 28+ years of experience in the music, marketing, and advertising industry. He shares the advantages of having his business partner, Chuck Creekmur, who was a high school friend, from the very beginning, the one thing that has stayed consistent throughout any technological advances that has maintained and accelerated his success, teaching his sons and the next generations on how to make an impact, the ways in which he is still learning and growing as a person and business owner, and his take on the DEI movement and if it's actually creating change.
