The multi-talented Scoop DeVille joins KDAY to talk about his legacy in hip-hop culture, the pressure of living in his father’s shadow and his artistic passion stemming from his childhood. Scoop opens up about his upbringing and how he fits into the original lineage of West Coast hip-hop, paying homage to his father, Kid Frost, and talks about the pressure of living up to his legacy.
