  • Word is Bond Rap Radio #499 – Best of 2021 (Part 2)

    2021 was a great year for Hip Hop. There was no way I could fit everything into one Best of 2021 show. In fact, I couldn’t fit every track I wanted in this second edition either. So, I kept it moving and spun for an extra thirty minutes. That’s four and a half hours of […]


  • Mastermind Street Jam – Tape 101 (Oct 8, 1996)

    Mastermind was playing it by ear on October 8th, 1996. Some of the best Hip Hop mixshow work this way. Live radio, playing the jams that they want to hear, and freestyling on the decks. It’s always a treat when the Mastermind Street Jam is on. Featuring music by Beatnuts, Busta Rhymes, Bush Babees, Ghostface, […]

  • Now is the Time, to Hit That Target!

    Next week I will be celebrating the 500th episode of my show, Word is Bond Rap Radio. It’s quite the milestone and not something I ever really thought about. I just craft the best radio show I can on a weekly basis and have been doing so for ten years. Ten years of work that […]


  • Best of 2021: A to G Edition (Word is Bond Rap Radio #498)

    These are some of my favourite tracks from this past year and I barely scratched the surface with this show. When I started to put it together, I threw a lot of tunes in my crate and only got up to G alphabetically. I’d always wanted to do an A to G show. I guess, […]


  • Mastermind Street Jam – Tape 54 (April 22, 1996)

So here it the tape we skipped ten months ago. We will be back to posting new episodes every Monday until […]
