Bahamadia has been captivating listeners with her unique style and lyrical skills since the 90's, when she released her major label debut 'Kollage.' Philadelphia's Hip Hop Queen has kept busy since then, releasing projects via indie labels, collaborating with some of hip hop's greatest practitioners, touring the world, hosting her own radio show, and forming her own record label B-Girl Records LLC. Self-describing herself as shy, Bahamadia rarely does interviews. So when she agreed to come on the show after appearing on my hip hop game show The Questions, we had to make it happen. In this episode, we explore the stories behind the following songs:

"Innovation" ('Kollage', 1996)

"Transcend" (King Britt, 'Adventures in Lo-Fi', 2003)

"Proceed III" (The Roots, 1994)

"Dialed Up 2" ('Dialed Up 2', 2017)

"Thank You" ('Good Rap Music', 2006)

"One-4-Teen (Funky For You)" ('BB Queen', 2000)

"Here" (2015)
