  • Mastermind Street Jam on Energy 108

    The Mastermind Street Jam aired on a commercial radio station back in the late 1990s. It was on the Dance Music Station, Energy 108.

  • Writing Can Help You Learn

    “Writing is thinking on paper. Anyone who thinks clearly should be able to write clearly—about any subject at all.” That sounds like a challenge, doesn’t it?

  • Mastermind Street Jam – Tape 95 (Sept 17, 1996)

    The Mastermind Street Jam was required listening back in the 1990s. This was before YouTube and before most of us had the Internet at home. It was how we discovered new Hip Hop tunes. Mastermind broke records and kept us laced with the goodness. We hear some more 2Pac news in this episode too. Hip […]
