PJ Gordon, 24, has been involved in Chicago’s hip-hop scene since his senior year at Whitney Young Magnet High School in 2014. He contributes to Fake Shore Drive, organizes concerts, and works as a curator for streaming service Audiomack—he makes its playlist Hometown Heroes: Chicago.
My cousin was a friend of Hebru Brantley‘s, and they’re both friends with Andrew, so they introduced me to Andrew. After I’d been writing for a number of local blogs for a little while, they pretty much just saw, “He’s serious about this.” So my cousin reached out to Drew, like, “Hey, check him out.” And he liked my writing. So it went from there.
