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…

RIP Stezo (WIB Rap Radio #414)
Rest in Peace, Stezo. I hate having to do two tribute shows back-to-back. This really sucks. But it’s not all tears; we got some great new music and some classic jams coming your way this week too.

Mastermind Tape 10 – Best of 1994

This show is a special best of 1994 edition of the Mastermind Street Jam that aired on the now defunct Energy 108, broadcasting out of Burlington, Ontario, Canada. I recorded this one a 120 minute cassette so…

Rest in Peace, Fred the Godson
Fred the Godson passed away at the age of 41 after a fight with the Corona virus. It’s a shame that such a powerful voice in hip-hop has been silenced. His music will live on though. We had to kick off the show with a small tribute mix. Rest in Peace, you will be missed!…
