This week on the Mr. Throwback Thursday Podcast, we are taking a trip across the Atlantic. We are dedicating an entire episode to a true pioneer, the late, great Derek B. We’re talking pirate radio in London, signing with Russell Simmons, touring with Public Enemy, and the massive impact he had on the culture before he was tragically taken way too soon. We hope you brushed up on your Music of Life history, and listened to Bullet From a Gun, because we’re ready to run a Power Move on you. What else? Let’s listen.
