KEMS opens with dancier selections including ATC favorites Dego & Kaidi — two artists who have built one of the most distinctive sounds in contemporary music. Classics from Patrice Rushen and DeBarge round out his set. rap79 shifts things toward something meditative with a track from the Master Wilburn Burchette LP, then goes deep into the jazz catalog with Soft Power and Griot Galaxy before closing the show with "Fat Cats, Bigga Fish" by The Coup. An absolute stone cold classic to end the session. Hope y'all enjoy. Peace. KEMS & rap79
