Monie Love Drives The ATL Home

• Cox Media Group Urban AC WALR (Kiss 104.1)/Atlanta) welcomes two-time Grammy nominee and radio personality Monie Love aboard as the station’s new afternoon drive talent. Beginning Wednesday, May 22, Monie Love will drive you home weekdays from 2-7pm.

Terri Avery, Director of Branding and Programming, remarked, “We are so excited to have Monie Love join the Kiss 104.1 team. Her love of hip-hop, entertaining personality and star power make her a great addition to our afternoons here in Atlanta.”

Since her start in British hip-hop in the late ’80s, Ms. Love quickly elevated her position in the industry and brought her talents and musical influence to the United States a few years later. She is well known for her status as a protégé to Queen Latifah and for her association with Native Tongues in the late ’80s and early ’90s. Love received Grammy nominations for “Monie in the Middle” and “It’s a Shame (My Sister),” and was featured on the remix of Whitney Houston‘s R&B hit, “My Name Is Not Susan.”

Love later transitioned into radio as co-host of the syndicated Ed Lover Morning Show and has also been featured in a number of Atlanta-based TV shows, including Growing Up Hip Hop: Atlanta, Dish Nation and Rickey Smiley’s For Real TV. She is currently appearing on Season 5 of Little Women of Atlanta. Love commented, “I’m excited to be joining the Kiss 104.1 family in afternoon drive. Get ready for a good time!”
