  • Before DJ Clark Kent started producing hits for The Notorious B.I.G. and Jay Z and rocking crowds across the globe, he was Rodolfo Franklin, a young and ambitious kid from Crown Heights, Brooklyn. In ComplexTV's latest episode of "The Neighborhood," he gives us an in-depth look on how he came up in New York and shares some amazing stories along the way.

    Moved here in 1980 from Trinidad and met this dude in 84. He made me a cassette tape ( my first true Hip Hop tape.... Still have it😊) . All I can I am from Brooklyn Crown heights President & Nostrand and I learned a lot and enjoyed every minute of going up here. Moved now but I still have friends
    And I do visit at least 6 times a year no joke.
    Brooklyn for Life.

    OMG Crown Heights. My Mom grew up in 1626 Union between Troy and Schenectady. She would tell me about walking in Lincoln Terrace Park and how it was safe 24/7. My Dad had a cleaning store around the corner on Troy Ave. Later on I'd run there training for the NYC Marathon, up Kingston from Eastern Parkway to Wingate. I'd be wearing a yarmulke, shorts, a tank top and running shoes, and got bemused looks from the Hasidim.
