DNA Picasso was born in New York City, "the mecca of hip-hop," he says, but has found his home in the Denver hip-hop scene. The rapper, who is on this week's cover of Westword, has been working tirelessly to uplift the music community through a multitude of projects, from his R&B Jam Fest and Aux Wars at Your Mom's House to creating the Colorado Music Industry Alliance.

Filmed at ego n friends' Friendly Collective in Denver, this video kicks off a new series in collaboration with Christian Hundley of Art House Creative. The series aims to showcase the significance and history of hip-hop in Denver through interviews with rappers, breakdancers, street artists, designers and more.

Watch for our second installment, coming in October.
