“We Need a Black Tony Hawk” — DaShawn Jordan Kicks Rhymes & Pushes Skate Culture with Hip Hop Icons

Music and skateboarding collide in this special conversation with DaShawn Jordan — X Games skateboarder, musician, and a true force pushing for more representation in the sport. DaShawn opens up about what it means to be a Black pro skater in a space that’s still mostly white, the need for a “Black Tony Hawk,” and how hip hop culture has fueled his style, his sound, and his next moves. From skating with Lil Wayne to linking up with hip hop icons like Ty Dolla $ign, he breaks down how music and skating have always been connected for him — and why both need real ones who rep the culture right. This one’s all about breaking barriers, inspiring the next generation, and keeping it real on and off the board. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
