Ep.182 - #UKBHM 2022: Cookie Crew

Happy October and happy UK Black History Month one & all! This is the third time we're doing this but for those not in the know. To celebrate UKBHM, we do retrospectives of four black UK artists. To kick it off, we go to one of the first female duos, Cookie Crew. A duo that clearly had talent along with pretty good rolodex, but questionable decisions seemed to sour their outlook and make their career short lived.
