Harlem Hip-Hop Rap MC Tommy Danger sits down for some insight to his contributions to hip-hop and the rap game.

Born and raised in Harlem, New York Tommy Danger is truly different; not just in his rhymes but in his approach to hip-hop.

Known as ‘The Now and Later Man’, Tommy is taking his skillz as a MC to a higher plane. Thru a series of mix tapes which come in ‘Flavors’ you can experience the growth and evolution of this extraordinary MC as he attacks the ‘game’ with his unusual beats and lyrics.

Tommy Danger will tell you he is far from the gangsta that is expected in today’s hip-hop and rap artist, but Tommy Danger is just that – a danger to all the MC’s who are running around being just like the last MC.

His ‘individualism’ as a MC comes across in his music and in this interview. Tommy gives his views thru experience in his live on many things in this interview. From growing up in Harlem and his first interest in Hip-Hop to a New York perspective of the passing of Tupac Shakur and Notorious B.I.G.

A lot of today’s MC’s will tell you they are different, but as soon as you hear their music you know they are just the same MC in a different wrapper. Tommy Danger says he’s different and one listen to his music let’s the listener know they have actually found a MC who is truthful when they boast about being different.

Thanks to Tommy for taking time and giving us this insight to his unique approach to the rap game and being able to use his talent to take hip-hop back to where it belongs – from the street, not some corporate office.

Robert – I am not from NY, and the different boroughs are a little confusing to me. But when I think of Harlem I think of the eulogy of Malcolm X by Ossie Davis, where Malcolm’s love for Harlem and her people were spoke of. How would you describe Harlem to someone who has never been there?

Tommy Danger – Harlem to me is the mecca of style. Within Harlem itself you can find so many sub-styles. A case in point, such as myself: You can catch me walking down the street in a 3 piece suit, swuare toed leather shoes on, and I’m in style cause I have to handle my business during the day time.

But at the same token you can catch me that same day in the afternoon or evening, with a pair of Timb’s on some Sean John jeans and a white tee and a fitted cap, cause that’s just how we get down.

I notice when you go to other boroughs it’s like, there are very few people who can define themselves in that sense, ya know what I’m saying. But that’s what I have grown to become and that is partially because of my up-bringing. It’s like ya have to handle your business and make
