On this episode, I took a deep-dive into Winnipeg’s early rap history with local pioneer DJ Bunny Lester!
Bunny was a key figure in the development of what has become the city's enduring hip-hop scene, so we talked about those early days, how things have changed over the decades, why Winnipeg has maintained a strong community, and much more.
