SIMPLY PUT, TAKE THE TOUR..... MY DAUGHTER AND I FROM TWO DIFFERENT MUSIC DECADES WERE INFORMED OF THE EAST COAST HIP HOP MUSIC SCENE, FROM ITS HUMBLE BEGINNINGS TO WHERE IT STANDS NOW, ALONG THE WAY BEING SHOWN SOME OF THE MEMORABLE SIGHTS OF NOTABLE EVENTS AND POINTS OF INTEREST.
YOU ARE IN THE COMPANY OF PEOPLE WHO HAVE PLAYED A MAJOR PART AND CONTINUE TO DO SO IN THIS INTRUIGING SIDE OF THE MUSIC INDUSTRY.
IT WAS AN HONOUR, TO MIKEY "D" AND COMPANY, CHEERS.
GARETH AND LEANNE. |

If u like hip-hop this is the tour for you. Got taken to NY rappers locations such as Queensbridge, Hollis & South Jamaica and also the barber shop where they film the MTV show 'The Shop'. This tour provides you with a history of hip hop and takes you to places many tourists would not see. I would recommend this tour to any hip hop fan. |

I really recomend this trip to anyone. I went on my own and the guide mikey d took me around all the sites in his own SUV whilst playing some proper hip hop tunes which really added to the experience. He was really informative and showed me some really good areas which you here about in songs by Nas and Mobb deep etc.. I especially liked the graffiti spot where we actually saw some artists in action.
Thanks Hush, Mikey D and Bingo for a great day out.

We had a great time in Mikey Dees Truck. He showed us all the places of NY´s HipHop Artists of today. We went to places like 5 Pointz in LIC or the famous Mr. Rooney's Barbershop in Jamaica where we met the guys you know from MTV.
It was a great time we spent together and I would recommend this tour to anybody interested in todays HipHop.
Keep up the good work Mikey! And all the best for your upcoming music projects.
Thanks again for a great tour!

Fab hosts really looked after us and we thought the graffiti stop was awesome! Perhaps we could have stopped in Queens at the town centre where all the hip hop bling was on sale to buy a few gifts. Otherwise a great day for true hip hop fans.
Thanks again |

This excursion was surprising, and very dope, for me.
First, because I can see with my own eyes the Queensbridge projects, original place of rap artists like Nas, Mobb Deep, or Cormega.
I could see too Jamaica and South Jamaica, borough of LL Cool J or Onyx, and Hollis, borough of Run DMC.
In addition, I was the mural dedicated to Jam Master Jay in Queens.
The surprise was too that the driver was: Mickey D, former component of the group Main Source in their second album: "F*** what you think", he remplaced to Large Professor in this album, he put songs very good in the car. The copilot was a man called Mark, or Marcus, I don't know the last name, and he knew many things unknown to the great audience of hip hop.
With great gratefulness,

If you are a real Hip-Hop fan like myself then you have to check out this tour. The fact that most of the Hip-Hop ended coming from the borough of Queens places like Queenbridge, Hollis, Jamaica it ened up shaping the sound of Hip-Hop for years which makes this an essential tour. With Mikey D (Main Source) as your tour guide he takes you to places they don't advertise on those NY tourist guides. I was luckily enough to roll in Mikey's SUV which gave you a more real feel than being in a big tourist bus. I also got to check out the famous 'Rooney's' barber shop as seen in MTV' show 'The Shop'.
As Mikey seems to know everyone he was definitley the right person to roll with. Massive respect to Mikey D, Mark and Debra.

Very highly recommended for anybody that wants to know what Hiphop is really about. Reprsenting all the elements of Hiphop! Mad respect to the Pioneers and giving the time to represent what Queens Bridge/Hollis Queens has contributed to Hiphop. 5Pointz is an out of this world experience. When I go back to the NYC, I definitely need to hit up the Bronx tour! |

There's alot of Hip Hop history straight out of Queens, and Pioneer rapper Mikey D lived it. I thought I knew alot about Queens Hip Hop History, but I have learned alot more.
Visiting the homes of Run DMC, LL Cool J, the Lost Boys and many more. These guys are doing the right thang, by educating visitors from all over about Hip Hop history. Something that is not always taught in schools. I'm glad they are preserving the history by offering these tours. |

My 13 yr old son and I just got back from New York for our first visit. The highlight of our stay was Queensbridge & Hollis Rap Tour through Hush Tours.
Debra, the founder of the company, along with Mikey D led our "group". In fact, it was just myself and my son since this is a new tour. Instead of cancelling due to low turn out - Debra arranged for herself and Mikey D in his silver jeep to head out and about. The VIP treatment for us that day!
We checked out graffitti at 5 Points - saw Queensbridge, saw where many of today's leading rappers like 50 Cent, LL Cool J grew up and hung out. Dropped by the MTV "The Shop" and so much more.....
The tour and our hosts where Informative, engaging, knowedgeable, fun, and interesting.
As my son says - "it was an amazing experience - will defintely go back again"
So please, everyone, support this tour, this incredible woman and the rapper's who make it all happen for us "tourists".
I can't say enough great things - you won't be disappointed.!!!! |
