Stank Face on WSUM 91.7 FM.

The “stank face” is arguably the highest form of flattery in the musical world. Characterized by an aggressive frown, scrunched nose, and a pulsating bob of the head, this distinct facial expression is well known among music fanatics. This show features tunes centering around a multitude of genres, such as Neo-Soul, Proto Punk, Jazz Rap, Funk and even Ambient.
