Veteran hip-hop icon YoYo is the newest addition to the nationally syndicated Café Mocha Radio. As the show moves into its sixth year, the Ice Cube protégé has signed on to be a permanent co-host of the top-rated weekend show targeting women. Best known for classic rap hits like “Can’t Play With My YoYo,” “The Bonnie & Clyde Theme” with Cube, and “I Wanna Be Down” with Brandy, Queen Latifah, and MC Lyte, YoYo will join original Café Mocha hosts Loni Love of “The Real” and broadcast veteran Angelique Perrin on the syndicated show.
With more than 25 years in the music business, YoYo’s professional journey was recently featured on TV One’s marquee franchise, Unsung. A feminist and community crusader, Café Mocha’s newest co-host is working to empower young people with her youth program, YoYo’s School of Hip-Hop. YoYo’s program operates in both Los Angeles, CA, and Highland Park, MI, where her husband, DeAndre Windom, is the mayor.
“I couldn’t be more excited about the addition of YoYo to our roster of dynamic women on Café Mocha. People know about YoYo the music artist, but on Café Mocha you’ll get to experience Yolanda the mother, the politician’s wife, the literacy advocate, and learn about the other social issues she’s passionate about,” says Sheila Eldridge, creator and executive producer of Café Mocha Radio. “Besides, YoYo is no stranger to radio, having previously hosted her own show on KDAY 93.5 FM in Los Angeles.”
