On today’s Closer Look with Rose Scott, in Part 2 of our interview with DJ Rasta Root and DJ Jah Prince, host Rose Scott talks with the DJs about playing their final Face/Off Friday at MJQ Concourse. The popular nightclub has drawn diverse crowds of music lovers for more than two decades. MJQ will soon relocate to Underground Atlanta.

Then, WABE’s environment reporter Marisa Mecke speaks with neighbors who are trying to address complex environmental pollution issues in their community.

Also, one of Atlanta’s beloved radio stations, WCLK, is marking 50 years on the air. Licensed by Clark Atlanta University, the NPR station has an expansive history of broadcasting mostly jazz, but also community news, gospel, and other jazz genres.
