ATLANTA (AP) — Rasheeda Frost’s relationship with hip-hop started in 1981.
She was a kindergartener when her mother gave her a record player, and she would continuously spin it, not knowing what it was. Then her mom gave her a record from The Sugarhill Gang.
“She must’ve just known hip-hop was embedded in me at such a young age,” the MTV “Love and Hip-Hop: Atlanta” reality star said.
“I played that record until I tore it up.”
