January 14, 2022 Groundbreaking Crossover Rap Groups
In the early 1980s, as hip-hop as a cultural juggernaut was taking shape, talented and diverse acts were springing up from New York City and the surrounding areas. Three acts that emerged in 1983 went on to help shape the future of the culture, by being among some of the first to crossover to mainstream Pop success. For this show we’ll honor the influence of Whodini, UTFO and The Fat Boys.

December 10, 2021 The Artists You Love To Hate
Throughout history there have been musical artists who achieved what seemed impossible. After mega hits, millions of dollars made and the world at their feet, some of them experienced an intense backlash. Some careers were ruined, and some were temporarily derailed. This conversation is about some artists who fell from public grace.
We also honor singer/songwriter Blackberri who we learned is in the process of transitioning this week. We also honor the memory of Greg Tate and Robbie Shakespeare, who both passed this week.
