In the crowd at the Stax to the Max festival, I ran into a number of Memphis rap legends, including Playa Fly, producer Drumma Boy and up-and-coming Memphis artist and promoter Cortez “Godfellow” Currie. There is a direct correlation between the legacy of Stax and Hi Records, and the hip-hop scene in Memphis from the 1990’s to the present, whether that is obvious or not.
