Hip Hop is turning 50 and several Bay Area folks are being inducted into the Bay Area Hip Hop Archives. We are joined by three of the people being honored at the celebration event for the Archives, which will take place on Friday, August 11th at the Oakland Museum of California. Our guests are Davey D, a multi-media journalist, professor, hip-hop historian, dj, activist, speaker, and commentator with a long history of playing and reporting on hip hop. He is the veteran host of KPFA’s very own Hard Knock Radio. We’re also joined by Anita Johnson, a nationally-recognized, award-winning broadcast journalist, and veteran executive producer of KPFA’s very own Hard Knock Radio. Lastly, we’re joined by Jennifer Johns, a powerhouse, vocalist, songwriter, producer, activist, and entrepreneur who creates sounds, experiences, and products that are sure to stir your soul, inspire your mind and move your body.
