As the scion of a musical empire, DJ Prince Hakim (Bell) brings proof of generational genius. As the son of Robert "Kool" Bell, founder of the legendary Kool & The Gang; such musical pedigree influenced his earliest interest in the industry. Now, with years of professional music experience under his belt, in August of 2018, he launched his new collaboration with R&B/pop singer Walt Anderson entitled, R.O.Y.A.L.T.Y. After executive producing Kool & The Gang's first Top 10 single in 10 years, "Sexy", DJ Prince Hakim felt it was time to return to the studio to produce his own project. The infectious upbeat single will be featured on his upcoming EP "Healing Love," set to be released in November.  Join us at 8:00 p.m. on Sept. 5, 2018, (347) 627-2319 and press 1.
