Welcome to a special edition of Vinyl Vybz with DJ HasH where I had the honor of choppin' it up with the one and only Ladybug Mecca! She was ever so gracious to take the time to talk to me via telephone. Some of the topics that Ladybug Mecca discussed with me during the interview was her solo album Trip the Light Fantastic, her working and personal relationship with Guru (R.I.P), her Brazilian heritage & its influence on her music, as well as her current passion and love with DJing (DJ Ladybug Mek). She’s very down to earth and a wonderful spirit!
Bless
DJ HasH aka Da Corned Beef Kid (of The Temporary Residents) *London / Chicago*
Special thanks to Arasia , DJ Moonbaby , Nikia , Brittany aka Babygirl and of course Ladybug Mecca herself for your assistance in bringing this interview into fruition.
