We hear so much about the male pioneers and icons of entertainment, but we never hear about the females that are the backbone of the industry. We never hear about the publicists, singers that do the background for a lot of artists that can't sing or emcee. We rarely hear about the dancers that make the artists look great. What would singers, rappers, do without musicians or songwriters? Especially the love songs. Sometimes you see award shows, or videos, and the women are just placeholders. But today's artists are breaking down doors, and stand in front of a closed door. We welcome a great pioneering dancer, Kim A Kazi Valente great breakdancer of the Dynamic Dolls...Invited legends will also be calling into the show so call in and learn the history of the premiere break dancer, as she drops jewels.
