Sly Ida is a longtime selector from KALX 90.7FM in Berkeley. She describes herself as a bad banana with a brain full of spiders slinging God knows what. Her offering tonight (71min) is a wide stroll through various genres, anti-fascist in spirit and varied in tone. It’s honestly just dope as hell. The episode name comes from this record, which is featured in her mix.
I reached out to her once her reels started to bubble up and we started a convo, and now here we are! It’s cool what can happen if you just respectfully reach out and say hi to folks. Community FM kindred, unite.
As per usual, I open and close with a dose of new raps and underground flavors. Have fun listening. Stay safe and sane.
