QC Radio – A Path Out: King Hippo with Krista Franklin, SHAZAH, Shabaka Hutchings, Isaiah Spencer Collective, Tone B Nimble
19.01.21QC Radio is a weekly look at the creativity flowing through the City of Chicago. We’ll hear from Chicago-based musicians, DJs, record stores, journalists, labels and parties. This season is curated by broadcaster, event producer and member of the International Anthem family, King Hippo.
‘A Path Out’ is about looking back and reflecting on what was as well as an opportunity to invoke wishes for the future. Today is the final day of Trump’s presidency and we ask, “What now?”. Poet and visual artist Krista Franklin shares a poem and calls on all of us to answer that question. ShaZah (Shanta Nurullah and Zahra Baker) and the Isaiah Spencer Collective (Isaiah Spencer, Isaiah Collier, Anton Hatwich, Jumaane Taylor and Brent Griffin Jr.) recorded sets exclusively for WWFM, taking listeners to the heart of the cosmos.
Shabaka Hutchings has a discussion with ShaZah about music and Tone B Nimble (Al-Tone Edits/ Soul Is My Salvation/ Conservatory Vintage and Vinyl) shares a gospel mix. King Hippo closes out the show with some recently released and re-issued favourites. (Photographs of ShaZah and Shabaka courtesy of Kristie Kahns)
