Most people that know me well are super aware of my interest in both astrology and hip-hop. I believe the parallel is fascinating. Every chance I get, I try to fuse the two languages together to "decipher the code". In fact, the more I listen to some of these emcee's, the more I "see" or hear their zodiac sign shining through .
