One of those ppl that keeps New York still New York, despite the yuppification of this town. Forward thinking politics and dope fashion. Top top ppls. And she keeps very busy.

In this interview we discuss black women's contribution to rock and roll, mixing politics and music, her various projects and the different playing styles for each group, the general stereotypes on black ppl, and the folks pushing beyond those parameters, gatekeepers/snobs in underground scenes, meeting Ari Up from the Slits and going on tour with them, her DJing and how her style has evolved.
