Governor Slugwell - Part One

The Godfather of Grand Rapids Hip Hop - Film Producer

We’ve never done this before…that is…to split an incredible conversation into two episodes. This is Part One.

Governor Slugwell is a community leader, hip hop evangelist, music industry mentor that has already moved into the world of documentary film with his adaptation of the book “A City Within A City“ which will chronicle Grand Rapids through the Civil Rights Movements.

In Part One, we dig into the origins of Governor Slugwell, his early career in music, how hip hop saved his life and the fascinating story of how a piece of his music history resides in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland.

Reach Governor Slugwell via the Grand Rapids Hip Hop Coalition Facebook page.
