Str8Up Show is a social yet informative show that discusses the issues you think about but won’t hear about in most media.
It’s Season 5 and you know what that means? It’s the return of our Music Mondays! And what better way to kick off than by showcasing Miami artist/engineer Big Mo BITW. We talk to the Haitian-American musician about how he’s able to creatively blend in different cultures, like and Latin & RnB, in his music. Big Mo then performs his hit song “Zulia” for our listeners.

As most of you know, our show began back at our local college in Louisiana. STR8UP wouldn’t be where it is today without professors who pushed us for greatness like Peggy Byers. We are sadden that the Mother of The STR8UP family is no longer with us, so it’s only fitting we pay tribute to her in our Season 5 opener.
Thank you for everything Ms. Byers!
