Los Angeles is a city where everybody shines. Let’s visit a small area of town where you’ll find the most exclusive clothing stores and the pimpest ostrich shoes you could ever dream of! (We’ll forgive the erroneous reference to the 2006 NBA Champion Lakers. Shaq went to Miami, remember guys?)

Invited to Shutdafunkup and Eat, Dj Moni mixes tunes from multiple and diverse influences: some Hip-Hop, Drum and Bass, House, Soul, and even Brazilian sounds, among many others. We’re glad she didn’t listen to her parents’ career advice.

Steve Skaith sings about the bad news that’s always on the radio about Africa. When the album came out in 1985, South Africa was still governed by racist apartheid policies.

In this song from the Radio Africa album, Latin Quarter sing about the civil rights movement in the USA, which started in the 1950’s and fought for the economic and political equality of African Americans.
