Player Watch: A Forefather Of Hip-Hop Journalism, Davey D Lands On The "Net"

As a pioneer in online Hip-Hop sinc 1992, Davey D was one of the few trailblazers to successfully bring Hip-Hop culture -- and specifically Bay Area Hip-Hop -- to the web. Now, with successful careers in both radio and journalism, Davey D's dynamic political perspectives and intense reporting makes him a player to watch for 2005.

Davey D never planned on being a journalist. In fact, instead, he wanted to be a radio DJ. While attending the University of Berkeley in California, he tried getting his foot through the door by launching a newsletter called the Davey D Beat Report. It opened dosors like he never imagined.
