Broadway Director extraordinaire, Kenny Leon talks to the TJMS about his hit stage play, ‘Holla If You Hear Me’, the inspiring and thought-provoking story that includes the musical contributions of the late Tupac Shakur.

“I’ve never been so happy in my life, I think ‘Holla If You Hear Me’ is ‘A Raisin In The Sun’ 55 years later,” Leon says.
