Whodini gives 10 reasons why they have been successful for 25years and beyond

In 1982 WHODINI, pronounced like the famed magician Harry Houdini, stepped on the scene with their first single, Magic's Wand, an intro song dedicated to Mr. Magic the first DJ in New York to play hip hop on the airwaves. WHODINI members Jalil "The Master Rapper" Hutchins, John "Ecstasy" Fletcher and Grandmaster Dee (DJ) created a formula of positive lyrical content enjoyable for all ages and accompanied with never before heard beats.

When we asked the group how does it feel to be out on the road in celebration of 25 years of highs and low while maintaining the grind they replied? "We would like to say “ONE LOVE” to everyone for the over whelming support of our anniversary tour and supporting our music over the years. We have visited Florida, and Houston during the tour and now we stop in hot Atlanta to personally say thank you, it’s a great honor to still be in the game and embraced by so many of our fans, retail, DJ’s, radio and media. And once again our biggest honor is seeing our fans continuously come out to see us perform week after week”. WOTSMAG caught up with them and asked them to give us 10 reasons why they are still successful and this is what they had to say:
1. Love
2. respect
3. Communication
4. knowing that you are not always right
5. Being honest and not cheating each other
6. And don't sleep with your best boy's girl (Wow)
7. faith
8. Confidence
9. Respect
10. Recognize that nobody is greater then the next!
Well said fellas I commend you! A far cry from whats being promoted in our rap albums now.
