I was invited last night (or early morning) to join Yaya for her last show of the Pulse. She's been doing the show for over 3 years and has really set a platform for true MC's to have a place for their music to be herd. It was a special night for her, packed with people who really care about her work, but more importantly about her as a person. Everyone traded stories about how the pulse had some role in their life. The part of the night I will never forget is when Talib Kweli called in to wish Yaya the best of luck and gave his thanks for allowing his music to be played in Phoenix. Everyone in the studio had what we called the "Shut ALL the way up" moment. The night ended with a bunch of great stories, hugs, and laughs. Yaya will be headed to Reno for the new chapter in her life. As much as it hurts to see her go, everyone is happy for her next step. Wishing you the best Yaya!
