In order to gain a better understanding of the origins of hip-hop culture in Athens, you have to know someone who was there. Or know someone who knows someone who was there. The lives these individuals lived, and the stories they have to tell, aren t going to be easy to find on Google or even at the local library.
Willie Wester is one of those who was there, and his personal account of how hip-hop made its way into his life, and ultimately saved it, is the stuff of great autobiographies and feature films.
Born in Hempstead, N.C., in 1969, Wester s family moved to Gainesville, Ga., when he was 6 years old before settling in Athens when he was in the seventh grade. It was then, as a student at Clarke Middle School, that Wester s lifelong love of hip hop began.
When Johnson City police found a man slumped over his steering wheel with his car against a tree, they initially thought it was a crash with injuries.
But the Aug. 26, 2020, call was recently determined to be a drug overdose and the driver, identified as Austin Britton, 22, had slowly veered off the road into the tree.
Police said Tuesday that a Washington County grand jury indicted Micah Bradley, 29, 241 W. Main St., Johnson City, on Jan. 7 on a second-degree murder charge. He was already in jail on an unrelated charge, so the warrant was served on him there.
The first officer on scene, Hannah Farmer, found Britton slumped over his steering wheel with the ignition keys in his lap and immediately pulled him out and began CPR. Britton, however, was pronounced dead at the scene.
