Tom Joyner has always been recognized as a man on the move. He first came to public attention by hosting a morning radio show in Dallas and an afternoon show in Chicago simultaneously for eight years, flying back-and-forth between jobs daily. In the 1990s his popularity soared as the host of a nationally syndicated morning radio program. As nationally syndicated radio programs became a hot trend in the 1990s, Joyner became the biggest star in black radio.

She is the sound of excellence behind the microphone and the face of success in front of the TV Camera.

She is a bundle of brains, beauty and unabridged energy that showcases a rare talent that graces Philadelphia airways each day from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. on 107.9 Philadelphia’s R&B station!

She skillfully selects the music and deliberately directs the program on Radio One’s R&B station overseeing the music and the message while shaping the minds of millions.

She’s a single mom, with a myriad of responsibilities including her teenage daughter, her tremendous to do list of people, places, faces and appearances in any given week, tempered with a down to earth style that makes Philly’s co-workers wanna stay for a while in the mid-day break room!

She Is Ms. Mo’shay Laren!

A Legend is born. Starting out in hip hop fresh out of high school, hanging out at Kim Graves (Philly’s top night club at the time) she befriended the late great DJ, Lawrence Levan. She used to pick up the mic and mock Darryl Dawkins and Lloyd (World B.) Free and the other “toasters”, as rap was known at that time. Eventually she got better and better and was approached to do a record by legendary WDAS-FM jock, Dr. Perri Johnson.

So she went into the studio to record “To the Beat Yall”. That became the first rap record recorded by a female. This was a historic event. What most people don’t know is that due to the frugalness of the record company, she recorded the song in one take. She got some rhymes together and Lady B, her sister and legendary WDAS-FM radio personality, Mimi Brown put them on 3X5 cards and taped them up in the studio. She went into the booth, recited the rhyme once and the owner of the record company was like ”Okay that’s a take”.

After getting jerked at the label, she met Richard Cooper, a record promoter for Motown. He informed her that WHAT was looking for an intern. So she started to work there doing odd jobs and learning. She eventually convinced Mary Mason to let her spin some of the new records that she had accumulated (about a milk crate full) on the air. After bugging her, Ms Mason finally let her play some of the songs. The ratings shot through the roof and lady B was hired full time. After that Power 99fm outbid WDAS for her services and she started working full time as a DJ. Street Beat was born and the rest is history. Her show broke hip-hop artists such as: The Furious 5, The Treacherous 3, Public Enemy, Run-DMC, LL Cool J, Queen Latifah, EPMD, UTFO, Mc Lyte, Schoolly D, Big Daddy Kane, Rakim, KRS-1, MC Breeze, 3XD, Heavy D, and many many more!

On her Radio show on 103.9 WPHI, she spotlighted local artists by interviewing them on her show and playing their music. Independent local records that pleased her ear would actually find themselves in rotation. She is now broadcasting on Philadelphia’s premiere R& B station WRNB 107.9fm. in Philly.

Lady B received the prestigious Philly Urban Legend Award in 2002 as a pioneer in Rap Music, the World Renowned Entertainment,” Role Model of Excellence Award, two Lifetime Achievement Awards (including the Douglass “Jocko” Henderson award) and is also listed in VIBE magazine’s History of Hip-Hop as “maybe the most influential female in hip- hop radio history”

“Radio is my DNA” claims, DC TODD. Having served as a major air-personality for over 25 years in the Philadelphia Metro, his name has become synonymous with radio. He first entered the market in the late 80′s at Power 99FM, during what was then a transitional period in broadcasting. The emergence of Hip-Hop was taking hold of urban radio formats. He was among the early pioneers who first presented the genre to the city. The next career episode took him to his present home with Radio-One. Where he hosted “Loveland”, a sexy slow jamz show featured then on our sister station,The Beat. Being one of the truly hybrid talents in radio, Todd’s flexibility made him interchangeable enough to also appear then on the new WRNB. Through the generations Todd has created and/or help stylize a variety of different radio shows heard on the Philly airwaves, including: Nightflight 99, Power After Hours,( the aforementioned) Loveland and Whispers In The Dark. Through it all, DC Todd has always served YOU the listener, under the persistent theme of LOVE. May the best of what Love has to offer come your way!
