Eight One Sixty

Black History Month 2022


Listen Later

On this show we celebrate Black History Month!

Every Saturday this month on The Bridge we have been collaborating with different Black artists from Kansas City and handing over their airwaves to them, letting them share nine songs from nine acts that changed their life, it's called "Nine From Nine." For the 8160 this week I’m flipping that on its head, and I’m going to play my favorite song from these nine Kansas City acts and then run through the list of acts that changed their lives.

On the show we’ll hear from Reach, Radkey, Brass & Boujee, Sam Wells, FlareThaRebel, Jass, We The People featuring Eddie Moore, Kadesh Flow, and Paris Williams.

Also, I wanted to plug this Saturday, February 26 three of the acts on the show will talk about and play music from acts that changed their lives:

Eddie Moore 9AM

Kadesh Flow 10AM

Paris Williams 11AM

At the end of the show today I also take a minute to give some love to Kansas City’s own Morgan Cooper. Morgan Cooper is the creator, writer, and director of the new TV series Bel-Air on Peacock TV. It’s a re-imagined, new take on The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air. A few years ago you could find Morgan Cooper gigging around town at hip hop shows with this project, Barrel Maker and Lion Maker and he also did freelance work at The Bridge, filming different in-studio sessions. Now he’s in LA and he’s changing the game. On Bel-Air he’s playing music from KC acts, he’s showing off KC music as the actors walk through record stores, and he’s showing off artwork on the set of the show from KC artists like Warren 'stylez' Harvey. Much love to Morgan for showing off his hometown!
