Episode 38
Originally aired July 9th, 2019. The first Lush Vibes Radio with special guests! Calvin welcomed not one, not two, but three guests to the studio! We had Chris DeLuca, one of the newest members of the Radio Free Brooklyn family, who will be hosting "The Foundation", a show premiering July 27th at 10PM, all about the jazz, funk, and r&b songs used as samples in Hip Hop. We also had Calvin's nephew Avius, who is visiting the city from Kentucky, and last but not least, Calvin's brother Rodney, who has arrived in the states from Okinawa, Japan! It was a great night of music, laughs, and getting to chat music, life, and everything in between!
