WAVES of the BAY FM

Lyricah Love and Bro Harv came through Waves Of The Bay to debut their new track "Love Song" which is a throwback to the essence of R&B. We briefly hit on the current sound of R&B and how they plan to bring it back to when the focus was on the Voices!

Before the radio we were doing shows on both sides of Tampa Bay and interacting with majorly talented artists. Being one of the only Promoters trying to Bridge the Bay, we were able to connect Artists and strengthen the music scene. I met Alec Burnright, our Tampa BayWatch Artist Of The Week, many moons ago and he's never changed up. He's been authentic, outspoken and a student of the game all at once. He moves to his own drum and, that in itself is a beautiful thing, until you take into account the music that drum leads into! Learn more about ABR on this episode of Waves Of The Bay.

The Tampa BayWatch segment is what it is due to the talent of our homegrown artists. Over the years we've interacted with several artists around the Bay Area and seeing them level up is a wonderful thing! Gangalee is one of those artists who set the bar high and continually raises it with each project. She's evolving as an Artist and a Woman and wants to be someone that shines light instead of darkness.

DJ Spaceship made his return to Waves Of The Bay and did work while I celebrated Wifey's Birthday. As you know Ship and I have been holding Waves down for the past few years before his recent promotion to Monday mornings. He came with a guest as we got a chance to know more about Simba! Her and Spaceship met through poetry but she's also very talented and grinding towards change. Spaceship got to the core of who She is as a person and her goals for the future.

I'm a fan of full circle moments and this episode had those in abundance! I had one of the people who showed me the way, Shizzle of The Shizzle Show, as my Special Co-Host for the evening and he brought out the whole Flohio Radio squad. Flohio gave DJ Spaceship and I an opportunity when we began Waves Of The Bay and I got to show love to Serg In General for the impact he had on us.

The last time Fre$h P & Mike 2wice came through Waves Of The Bay was a few years ago back at the beginning of our FM Radio run. Some of our best shows have included them and it's always love when they come through. We got to catch up with Mike 2wice as well as do an impromptu listening session on our Tampa BayWatch Artist of the Week Fre$h P's new project "I Am Him." He gave us his approach to the new project as well as why He Is Him. Make sure you're following @wavesofthebay on all social media.Watch the interview at https://youtu.be/BqhKqfJmWUY.

Our Tampa BayWatch Artist of the Week was Pusha Preme aka Billboard Preme! He came through to chop it up with us way back on Episode 6 of our FM run and he makes his return with plenty of stories to tell and gems to drop. I had my Special Guest Co-Host, Shizzle from The Shizzle Show, with me to pry a little bit more into the life of Preme. The comeup is real but the grind is realer.
