DjHistory Podcast - Monica Lynch (DJH010)

Hip hop pioneer Monica Lynch was the seminal rap label Tommy Boy’s first employee in 1981, where she went on to spend nearly two decades (much of it as president), signing De La Soul, Digital Underground, Stetsasonic and RuPaul, to name a few. In this full interview, she talks about the birth of hip hop, plus her time as a radio presenter, hustle dancer, and topless performer in Times Square. Quite a life, for a middle class gal from Chicago.
