We sat down with Yaddiya from Long Live Go Go for a powerful conversation about Go-Go music, Washington DC culture, and the deep roots of community, protest, and resistance that define the sound. Yaddiya breaks down how Go-Go has survived while continuing to be a unifying force in DC neighborhoods.

We explore the history of Go-Go music, its role in DC protests and activism, and how rap, hip-hop, and pop culture have influenced the evolution of the genre. From street performances to national recognition, this episode dives into how artists use music to build community and preserve culture.
