Furious Five interview! With a cameo from Kurtis Blow…
A five way phone conversation to preview the upcoming UK tour… as Unity Radio, home of Groovement, is based in Manchester we’re focusing on the Mint Lounge show **23rd September 2009** – I’ll be hooking up with the Five and Blow in physical form upon landing, but for now we shoot about the tour, truths and more.
Broadcast Sunday 23 August, www.UnityRadio.fm

Tunes:
The funk version of the message was premiered on Groovement way back in December 2007: a limited 45 by Mighty Mo and the Winchester 7. Kenny Dope heard the track and remixed it for his Kay Dee label, revealing the true artistes behind the tune: the Mocambo Allstars.
Danny Drive Thru manned the decks for the show and it’s his rework of the Message you can hear at the end of the interview. Check out his other work.

Raaaah! I want to see them so badly. Will have a listen to the interview tonight, really looking forward to it. x
I just saw the Monique Show performance and was blown away. I do feel that rap has gone way too far and wish we could be more selective about what actually gets on the radio and tv. The performance reminds us of rap origins,growth, and still hope for the future. I love the energy and fun from the performance. I wish so many of the rappers would give respect to the art instead of greed.Thanks again and love the dancin’ from Kurtis Blow (wasn’t expecting all that but a nice touch!). Stay safe and God bless!
