We had to take the gloves off for this interview and talk about something that isn't often talked about in the hip-hop community: HEALTH. Gat$ is one of the elite hip-hop artists in Tampa Bay. He's been featured on Rolling Loud Concerts in LA, Miami and New York. He performed at the Gasparilla Music Festival. He's done a lot in a little bit of time but his time was almost cut even shorter due to Sickle Cell Anemia and a late diagnosis. We talked about it all on this must watch must share interview.This weeks Baywatch featured music from: AyeBan ft. Keezie Free - Street LuvDee Baby ft.

Khalea Lynee (@khalea_lynee) captivated viewers across the nation as a contestant on 2019's The Voice. She has inspired Tampa Bay to pursue it's dreams by showing how far humility, talent and preparation can take you. She actually performed at our 2nd ever event 7 years ago (Ignite The Mic 2) and the transition she's made since then is expected and noticeable. We expect greatness out of her and we had a chance to talk about how she's grown, how she utilized her opportunities to open doors up and most importantly when we can expect to hear her new music.This weeks Baywatch featured music from: Shena Samone - HigherMwiza - Take HeedTemma Thompkins - Get Up Out My FaceM.L. - AddictedMake 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.
