Maurice Garland

Most people will tell you that Maurice Garland is a dude from Decatur, Georgia, who's written some memorable stories about extraordinary people during some (mostly) unforgettable times for some legendary publications. Others will say they saw him talking on VH1 a couple of times or speaking at Spelman and Princeton. Many will mention that he started one of hip-hop's first podcasts (Day 1 Radio), co-wrote a book about mixtapes (The Art Behind the Tape), and then edited Pimp C's autobiography and J. Prince's memoir. Now they are saying all he does is run marathons, do yoga and teach teenagers journalism and media making at VOX ATL. None of them are wrong.
