Monie Love

WALR KISS 104.1 FM Atlanta has announced two-time Grammy nominee and radio personality Monie Love has been added to the weekday afternoon lineup.

Terri Avery, director of branding and programming, says, “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 1980s, Love quickly elevated her position in the industry and brought her talents and musical influence to the United States years later. She is well-known for her status as a protégé to Queen Latifah and association with Native Tongues in the late 1980s, early 1990s.

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.” She co-hosted the syndicated Ed Lover Morning Show and has been featured in a number of TV shows here in Atlanta, including “Growing Up Hip Hop: Atlanta”, “Dish Nation” and “Rickey Smiley’s For Real TV”; and is currently on Season 5 of “Little Women of Atlanta.”

“I’m excited to be joining the KISS 104.1 family in afternoon drive. Get ready for a good time!” says Love.
