📸 Philly’s own Lady B became responsible for the first rap record recorded by a female, 1979’s “To The Beat Y’all.” 🎧 Recognised as one of the first DJs outside of New York to blast hip-hop, Lady B is monumental to the history of hip-hop radio. Her hit Power99FM radio show, Street Beat introduced many hip-hop class acts the likes of KRS-One, EPMD & Public Enemy to the Philly hip-hop scene. 💥 The craft and activism of Lady B uphold the longevity of her legacy. 👏🙌
