Knocking speakers with beats from beatmakers WORLDWIDE!!!

This episode is dedicated to the the lovers, couples and married ones that create a 'Quiet Time'

Let this be the soundtrack for that moment.

Amriki Aswad:

My first experience buying reggae music was going into a shop, seeing the name 'Sanchez' in the reggae section. I thought it was odd seeing a Spanish name in that section the store. I took a chance on it. Once I played it half the album was Lover's Rock covers of R&B music.

I WAS BLOWN AWAY!!!

This is dedicated to Sanchez and all the other singers that cover songs in Reggae fashion.

This show is dedicated to the mothers, adoptive mothers, single mothers, stepmothers and grandmothers. May your day be filled with light and love

This podcast show was inspired by the crew watching the news; local and nationally syndicated. Watching it with a hard critique that is. Whether the ghettos of the US, the Caribbean or Africa, there were rarely any programming displaying the reasons why things happen, messages of hope, or positivity. Even in most current genres of Black Music one would hear negativity, materialism, lust, or longing for love. This set me off to do a little crate (internet) diggin’, showcasing music from the diaspora. Artists address inappropriate morale behavior due to urban living, songs of hope, and positive suggestions toward positivity. ‘There is 2 sides to a coin!’ We hope you enjoy this series of shows, as it was enjoyable to create.

'A Story, A Message' is the flagship series of WDFI.

Authentic Beats! Authentic Lyrics!

Amriki Aswad from Da Fam Immediate: Even us hip hoppers from Da Fam Immediate can remember as teens to our early 20s, ‘jackin’ our body’ to the homegrown sounds from our city, Chicago. Whether it was uptempo R&B/Deep Disco or Chicago/Detroit Techno, we we hope you start grooving and get a bit of nostalgia in ya. House music all night long..........

Cr8tive Collabo: Babies during uptempo R&B, rug rats during disco, teens during 80s Chicago House & Detroit Techno, and elder observers during EDM. ***This is not a 'mixdown' show. Purely music appreciation***

The show has some gems from MF Doom, Madlib and Diamond D.

When you hear the "Beat Bangaz Exclusive' drop in the show, you know an independent producer I've gotten a beat from is being featured. This show's feature is from eelxb (28:30) and Doom Da Wiz (11:08) . Both are no strangers to the show. Give them some love on Facebook.

Amriki Aswad: Sometimes us older heads and elders are a little tough on the young lions coming up in regards to music. The truth is they are a reflection of us. So, running with that line of thought I sought after the slow jams of today that is a reflection of the past.
