Review of Language Arts
This pece on Durham, NC hip-hop group Language Arts is a hopeful portarit f young musicians by a young producer. A very fine effort about two young men with a message in their music. I just wish there was more of the music! Listening will make you want to hear more.
Great in a segment on youth ventures r as adjunct programming for youth, or as a standby drop in during morning drive.
