every now and then, there's an artist that i can't get direct permission to play, but i still want to represent for them. i figured i ought to do it via youtube. and seeing as how this is an all-female episode, i really wanted to show my support for speech debelle, an artist based in south london. she has a new album, speech therapy, on the big dada label and the video above is for her second single, "the key." i love the song and think hers is a fresh voice that needs to be heard, particularly in terms of female representation in hip-hop.

it was important for me to really be on my podsafe grind with this one, so most of the music is from iodapromonet and the podsafe music network. the wendy and lisa song is courtesy of ariel publicity while the opening cut from amanda diva is a part of a free download ep on behalf of the artist. rather proud of the diversity in this one. hip-hop, soul, house, drum and bass, pop, and experimental works as well. here's hoping that you enjoy this episode.
