Washington D.C.'s National Hip-Hop Museum honored The Lady Of Rage and Grand Puba in a grand induction ceremony on Saturday (9/28). A podcast hosted by the museum's historian JayQuan preceded the ceremony, which included an extensive interview where the inductees revealed that they met in the early '90's at New York's famed Chung King recording studios where Rage worked as receptionist.
"That's where I met her, at Chung King in the early '90s," Puba said during the one hour podcast where Rage spoke about her early collaborations with Finesse & Synquis, The L.A. Posse, and Chubb Rock under the name "Rockin' Robin". Puba revealed his early affiliation with DJ Jazzy Jay and Rocky Bucano at Strong City Records, and the DITC legends who were "babies" at the time. "Diamond D and Master Rob were there, and Lord Finesse and Showbiz were just coming to the studio," the "360 (Whats Goes Around)" MC said. "They were waiting for their turn to get on and they were just babies at the time. We all came from that Strong City era."
