Chopping it Up with Justo the MC & maticulous
We can cure racism. So says, Napoleon Wells in a great Ted Talk. You can see the whole thing on YouTube or listen to the first half hour of this show to hear some of his main points mixed with some great hip-hop. I’m a DJ and like to speak with songs and audio clips.…

Mastermind Street Jam #16
This episode of the Mastermind Street Jam is from August 26, 1995 and features an interview with independent hip-hop group Cipher. It was originally broadcast on Energy 108 and was digitized from a cassette tape in my collection. I love hip-hop mixshows and this is one of my all-time favourite programs. It’s really cool to…

WIB Rap Radio – Erase Racism
Sesame Street held a townhall for families to help teach kids about what is going on in the world right now. It was pretty powerful stuff for a kids television show. I had to start off this week’s edition of Word is Bond Rap Radio with a clip from that special to hammer home the…

Mastermind Street Jam – Jan 28, ’95
I’m not sure how I numbered these tapes wrong. Last week, I shared Tape 14 of my Mastermind Street Jam collection. That one was from April, but Tape 15 is from January? I’m confused. Sorry for not getting these all in chronological order. I thought they were. Oh well, we still get to enjoy some…

Exclusive Interview with Jamo Gang
I had a blast on the radio this week with hip-hop supergroup, Jamo Gang. Ras Kass wasn’t able to join us, unfortunately, but J57 and El Gant kept us entertained with some great stories and incredible music. We prerecorded this interview and that’s why we didn’t get in-depth with what is going on in the…

Mastermind Street Jam – April 15, 1995
This is Part 14 of my extensive collection of the Mastermind Street Jam, an amazing radio show that was broadcast on 107.9 fm back in the 1990s. The station reached much of Southern Ontario and even parts of the USA. Mastermind mixtapes were legendary too. Enjoy the classic, golden-era hip-hop! And let me know if…

LOTUG Takeover WIBRapRadio
Lords of the Underground are an iconic hip-hop group that have been putting it down since the early 1990s. It was a pleasure to chop it up with them on the radio last night. We spin tons of their great music and get in-depth with an exclusive interview. That, plus a mixset of new music…

Mastermind Street Jam – April 1, 1995
Mastermind Street Jam was appointment radio in the mid 1990s. Here’s the 13th tape from my collection. It featured an interview with Naughty by Nature. I chopped the interview a bit, unfortunately. I wish I had kept it for historical purposes. Instead, I wanted mostly music on the cassette so I could rock with it…

Spinning Back with DJ Realistic
DJ Realistic is someone that I have looked up to for a really long time. You might remember him from the radio show he launched with Eklipz on 93.3 CFMU out of Hamilton, Ontario, Canada. Live N Direct was required listening every week. Teh show still continues to this day, although with a new host…
