Slangston Hughes
b'This week we had the privilege of interviewing New Orleans hip hop artist Slangston Hughes. Slangston has a style all his own that is reminiscent of 90\\u2019s backpack rap, but backed up by live instruments rather than the 808 kicks we\\u2019re used to in rap. This Thursday into Saturday night, Slangston Hughes will be performing at three different Triangle area venues for what he considers a \\u201cmini tour\\u201d to help bridge the gap between NC\\u2019s \\u201cpure hip hop community,\\u201d and his own in NOLA. He\\u2019s a major supporter of the material our local artists in the Triangle are putting out, and has worked with many of them on tours and collaborations.'
