YouTube Description
as posted by the channelIn this episode of ASCENDING with APRIL R. SILVER (host), we’re excited to announce the monthly segment premiere of WOMEN PIONEERS IN HIP HOP. The inaugural featured guest is the legendary radio and television producer and host Dominique DiPrima. Currently DiPrima hosts the morning drive talk radio show "First Things First with Dominique DiPrima" on KBLA 1580 in Los Angeles (owned by Tavis Smiley). Prior, this EMMY Award winner got her start in the San Francisco/Bay Area on "Home Turf." That weekly TV show focused on youth and #HipHop culture and aired from 1984 to 1992. DiPrima interviewed (and sometimes built relationships with) some of the most culture-defining hip hop giants of the culture, including Eazy E, You Yo, Tupac, Rakim, and many others.
In original episode 67, Silver and DiPrima are just scraping the surface of this ever evolving movement we call arts and activism. This new monthly series is perfect for anyone who seeks a broader, fact-based view of #BlackWomen in hip hop culture. We're talking about it all here on ASCENDING. Do chime in! We'd love to hear from you!
*WATCH LIVE OR WATCH LATER.* The show livestreams every Saturday at 11a ET.
