Key Background

The Breakfast Club was launched on New York City's Power 105.1 radio station. Over 100 stations across the country now air it on weekdays and Saturdays. The show can be watched on RevoltTV. She will continue to host her own show, Lip Service, as she launches Way Up. The Breakfast Club was voted into the radio hall of fame in 2020. The Breakfast Club is not only a show, but a platform, a spotlight, and a think tank for all things hip-hop/pop-culture, politics, and community. Yee hosted her own show on the satellite radio company.
