It’s always a fun to do our weekly mix show because we can not only dig deep, but also re-live memorable Hip Hop moments. One of the highlights we experienced was our interview with Ice Cube during the height of the Hyphy Movement. You’ll enjoy this conversation we had with Ice Cube where he gives his take on the Bay Area, rapping vs acting and what it takes to be an emcee and a B-Boy. He talks about how he finally took time out to focus on his album. He also talks about Black-Brown relationships..

Last week we lost an icon.. Keith Elam aka Guru. He was a friend who I’ve known for almost 20 years. He was more rthan just a rapper with nice flows or a unique voice. He was a cat with keen insight and sense of history. My fear is that Guru will be underrated until a future generation re-discovers his music and appreciates how far ahead of the curve he was.. The songs we played last week don’t even began to scratch the surface.. Enjoy
