Back in the spring of 2019, Lizzo’s album Cuz I Love You was exploding. The superstar stopped by World Cafe at the time to perform songs from the record and tell stories about working with Prince and Missy Elliot. Coming up, we’ll listen back to that session with Lizzo – PLUS, a visit from Ranky Tanky, a group whose music draws on the culture of slave descendants.
