DC to BC started in ’07 as a twice-weekly radio show with my friend Quinn Coleman and I (we went to school in DC together at that school Obamas kids go to now and ended up at Boston College, thus the name; I hope you knew that.) where we played stuff that the big stations didn’t. We were fortunate enough to land KiD CuDi’s first radio interview ever back in ‘07, and since then, we never really looked back. As DC to BC made some respectable leaps and bounds as it evolved from a low-budget, rinky-dink radio show to a makeshift blog run by me and my Macbook. Most recently, Roc Nation signee J. Cole shouted us out in Complex and XXL put us down as one of the 100 Best Hip-Hop Web Sites in their December / January issue. in November, and We’re blessed to have that love from the big guys. But ever since graduating from BC, I‘ve wanted to move on to a new endeavor. That’s why I decided to start The Great Progression.

The Great Progression (also known as The Gee Pee) is a multifaceted movement of sorts started by myself and some friends. I wanted to take what I was doing with DC to BC and enhance it by including more people and more perspectives, but still stay true to the same style of blogging/writing/malarkey that had people coming back for whatever reason. I also wanted to create a brand that is as visible in the streets (events, functions and gatherings) as it is online. It’s purely for entertainment’s sake, but we’re serious about keeping you engaged and reading regularly.

The Gee Pee is a creative collective comprised of people with various interests and from all walks of life. It’s a place to articulate and provoke thoughts, indulge in tomfoolery, expand your musical palette, and fully embrace the elements of various subcultures. It’s more than just a blog – It’s something tangible. We’re real people living real lives, passionate about our interests and motivated by everything around us. Every good English teacher I ever had told me to show and not tell. So don’t trust me. Just check it out, and hopefully it lives up to your expectations.

I can’t give you a concrete launch date at the moment, because it’s bigger than me. I can, however, say that the next thing you should look out for (besides updates on @TheGeePee. Matter fact…follow that joint while you’re here please.) is everything Rock Creek Social Club related.. That’s my latest project. At first glance, you’d think it’s some promotion stuff, but really, it’s deeper than that for me. It’s more like an opportunity to see if I can fine-tune this brand that my friends and I created. We had a pretty successful debut party this past Tuesday, and will continue to do so every other Tuesday. If you want more info, @RockCreekSocial is the squad to hit up.
