Episode 32 of Waves Of The Bay was phenomenal and had so many jewels it was a tad bit ridiculous. What started as a collaboration between Poetry Is and the Waves family grew legs and turned into something much more. We worked together on a Father's Day panel and some of the outtakes are what made this show so amazing. What you'll hear in this segment is a conversation between Tone Kapone, DJ Spaceship, Wally B., J-Bizzle and Jroc Jones that was moderated by our Special Guest Host D-Rod The Poet. We spoke openly about being a father in the racial climate of America and this is a MUST LISTEN! We also had the privelige and the pleasure of world premiering four tracks on the Tampa BayWatch. We wanted to switch it up and talk with the artists as they introduced their music to the world. Special Thanks to Theo Lane, Hyfa Tha Prospect, Shadcore and Ybless for allowing us to present their work to the masses!This weeks Baywatch featured music from:Theo Lane - Papa SmilesHyfa Tha Prospect - Run The MicShadcore - Knee Off My NeckYbless - It's Cuz I'm Black Ain't ItMake sure you tune into WAVES OF THE BAY Saturday nights from 10-Midnight on FM Radio 88.5 in Tampa, at www.wmnf.org or on the WMNF Application.
