omg wait I love those songs- haven't heard them in a long time!!

Weyes Blood!! from Doylestown area where I live <3 !!!

OH word!!

Bani - Oh yeah! From that wdas philly station where they go party hard like wprb with old school rnb hip hop and rave black light techno sounds every Saturday!!

Other lovely rnb hip hop classics, Koffee Brown(After Party) Mya x Beenie Man(Girls Dem Sugar), Luchini (This Is It) Kp and Envi (Shawty Swing My Way) Mariah Carey (Honey)

I only know like half of those songs, I know what I have to do after the show!!

And WOW Alan! I just found the CD in the studio and thought it sounded so girl protagonist- that's so cool!

i'm so absurdly obsessed with Weyes Blood, so happy to hear her on PRB outside of my show
