Hello BWW! AlyTheFirst here ready for the world. As an artist and historian first, I love to take in every single thing in the atmosphere. I have a love for music that takes you places. I enjoy photography and when it comes to writing, I'm a champion for those who are unsung and the beacons of light they place in the world. I stand on tall shoulders and continue to be a voice for those that have led the way for me. We have a small but mighty region and I'm excited to highlight it for you.

Based on the life story of Alicia Keys, Hell's Kitchen not only brings you all of the hits, I mean all of this hits, but takes you into Alicia's world before it even starts. The tone is set via the cypher-ish DJ set (Alicia's playlist growing up maybe?) reminicent of 106& Park, Rap City, digital underground, and artists on the street corner inviting you in to a melodic flow of New York (many of us grew up on IYKYK).
