Modele "Modi" Oyewole is a rising music tastemaker, influencer and celebrity. At 24, the Sidwell Friends high school and Boston College graduate (hence DC to BC) has set a path that that we haven't seen in hip hop locally since Puffy was at Howard University. Hosting events, successful brand campaigns, viral marketing, being chosen by Vibe Magazine as a hip hop power blogger of note, working as an intern with Complex Magazine and having more limitless potential than anyone under the age of 30 in the city, to get 45 minutes of this very successful young man's time is a victory in its own right. On TGRI Radio, we're going to talk about Modi's thoughts on music in 2011, where it's headed and how it's going to get there. A fascinating discussion of technology, culture and music should ensue! Tune in!
