On February 16, 2021 By Press Start to ContinueIn Black History Month, Holiday Shows, PodcastLeave a comment

(I recently injured my hand, so I wasn’t able to put together a new show for you guys, BUT i went back into the archives and pulled up a really great Black History Month show from a couple years ago! I got to talk to EyeQ, a great artist who was just premiering his triple album project Triple L: A tribute to Anita Baker. I hope you enjoy this trip down memory lane, and stay tuned in a couple weeks for (hopefully…) A BRAND NEW EP OF PRESS START! )

Happy Black History Month! we have some new music form OCReMix, a new track from Lex the Lexicon Artist, and the first in a series of interviews with black artists that will run throughout the month!

Tonight I have a great conversation with EyeQ! Check out his work and follow him on the socials!

This week we get into some SPOOPY MUZICZ in the first hour! Oct 31st is THIS WEEK so we have our yearly Halloween show! Our second hour is about the upcoming election, and how we need to do our part to vote out authoritarianism. I know its tough, and I know you might not like the Dem’s candidate. But we can’t have four more years of this. This comes down to people’s lives. Do your part and vote!
