Diggin' In The Digits

On Ep.154 of DITD: Continuing our WHM celebrations with a retrospective on Yo-Yo

Show Notes

In a modern context, it's hard to find the entirety of Yo-Yo's music. You won't even find her name in the Wikipedia "list of people from Compton, California" even though she was one of the first females from the West Coast to be a rapper of note, pushing lyrics rooted in Womanism. And it's because of these facts and more that we cover the likes of Yo-Yo.
