Episode Summary Dee Dee Murray's story is a love letter to passion, instinct, and being willing to create the opportunity that does not yet exist. She talks with Jeremy about managing her uncle's dance group as a teenager, working at Turtles Records & Tapes, launching a college radio show at Savannah State, landing professional radio work before graduation, working at Capitol Records, and becoming part of the Dungeon Family orbit. Dee Dee reflects on being in the room as OutKast and Organized Noize were building something special, recording the iconic Peaches intro for Southernplayalisticadillacmuzik while sick with the flu, and helping create opportunities before anyone knew how far the music would travel.
