Yo-Yo served up a blend of music legacy and culinary flair, where she speaks on her cooking series “Downright Delicious with Yo-Yo” and reflected on her decades-long journey through Hip-Hop and beyond.
The cooking show is another chapter in her evolving career, one that blends her creative talents with her dedication to uplifting communities. The show, which airs Tuesdays, features the rapper sharing home-style recipes with the same energy that helped define her as a force in West Coast Hip-Hop. The “Downright Delicious with Yo-Yo” show reflects the values that Yo-Yo has long championed, both in her music and her community work.
Yo Yo rose to prominence in the late 1980s, earning acclaim for her collaborations with Ice Cube and her unapologetic voice in a male-dominated genre. She continues to invest in the next generation through her Yo-Yo School of Hip-Hop, a program that uses music as a tool for education and empowerment. Her foundation, Cafe Mocha Cares, assists women, children, and families in transitioning from shelters back into society. The organization celebrated its 15th anniversary, hosting the “Salute Them Awards.”
