#ConvergeOnTheRoad - The energy was high in Mount Vernon, Washington when Converge's own Curtis Delgardo II, aka Cuddy, and Back2Besa host Besa Gordon linked up with DJ Defkawn and DJ Troll King on “The Re-Up” on KSVR 91.7 FM radio. The visit demonstrated Converge Media’s commitment to connecting with communities across the Puget Sound, and showcased Besa and Cuddy’s perspectives as leaders in local Black Media.

On “The Re-Up,” a hiphop public affairs variety show, Cuddy spoke about the imperative nature of Black Media, and Besa highlighted the critical role of representation, emphasizing that little Black girls are watching and seeing what’s possible. Defkawn talked about his 21 years at the station, and the imperative nature of community radio in united people with music and friendly voices. Cuddy and Besa reported feeling right at home during their time on air.

Big thank you to “The Re-Up” co-hosts DJ Defkawn and DJ Troll King for welcoming Besa, Cuddy, and Converge co-founders The Big O and Erik Kalligraphy into their studio.
