The Cultural Landscape of Hip-Hop

As we end Black History Month, our final gift to you is to go over the cultural foundations of Hip-Hop. We hope to be able to help you understand what the “Culture” is, and how Hip-Hop transitioned from the underground to the mainstream.

Vault of Soul: Erykah Badu

Each week of February, we open the 88.9 Vault of Soul with profiles of iconic soul pioneers. To continue 2026’s February coverage, WERS recognizes Erykah Badu, one of the most recognizable names and voices in R&B, through the 90s and 2000s.

Tune in at 12:00 a.m. Sundays throughout February for very special programming centered around iconic singers and groups of R&B and Soul. The Vault Of Soul is heard exclusively in Boston on 88.9FM, WERS.

Celebrate Women’s History Month With WERS

WERS celebrates all the women who make the music industry run, and we are here to recognize them in our Women’s History Month Playlist!

To do so, we need YOUR top picks. Please, fill out the form with a woman-sung song that matters to you, and we will feature it on March 8th, in a day of music by solely women at the station.
