Happy Black History Month! The shortest month...but anyway. Come through as Aaron and Tamu  chronicle Great Moments in Black America from Lil Uzi Vert to Tessica Brown. They talk about the legacy of 1977s Roots and how far the black story has come from slavery to the  futuristic world of Wakanda.
The throwback threw everyone for a loop! They took a deep dive into New York hustle music with the homophobic jam “Another Man,” sung by Barbara Mason. Many pearl-clutching moments for us all! Come through, family!
