Coming from Colorado, a CD titled Gravity made it’s way into KZSC. This album by T Money is completely self-produced with amazing rhymes, smooth flows, and dope beats. However, each song is totally different. While one song samples a Notorious BIG’s Respect, others take on a jazzy undertone. T Money raps with a smooth flow…
Feminism, Leg Hair, and The Shirelles.
By Program Review Committee | Published February 15th, 2011Living in the city of Santa Cruz has a relatively profound impact on one’s sense of political ideology, and hailing from a much more conservative part of California, provides a little more liberal exposure than I was once accustomed to, especially as a female.
