"Ms. Los Angeles is feeling emotional today, lots of tears from the sky. So fittingly, [we’re playing] some songs about LA. One of them even has a MBE shoutout... can you catch it?"

With these words, MBE co-host Novena Carmel sets the precise tone required for one of the coldest, rainiest days Angelinos have experienced in quite some time. Sounds from Shannon Lay to Mac Wetha are just what the doctor ordered. Also fresh from the prescription pad are brand new progressively hip-hop tinged treats from Gorillaz and Channel Tres, alongside the soothing keyboard stylings of Okonski.
