I wanted to celebrate Mother’s Day with a fitting tribute for all of the mothers out there. This is a very special edition of Know Your History, your monthly dose of hip-hop knowledge. It features interview clips from Common, 2Pac, Masta Ace, and Kanye West talking about the huge influence their mothers had in their lives. Each of these artists also celebrates Mother’s Day with special dedication songs. Press play and enjoy. And remember to let your mom know how special she is tomorrow.

After you listen to that show, you can check out this one that goes more in-depth as to what it means to be a mother in hip-hop music and culture. Featuring interview clips from Amy Kicks, Dessa, Eternia, Michie Mee, and Money Stax. This show originally aired on International Women’s Day earlier this year.

Happy Mother’s Day Everyone!

I hope you enjoy the radio show podcasts!
