Mostly doing 1,2’s tonight, going from true school hip hop to funk and back again for the first part of the show. Then, local hip hop artist King Dylan dropped by the studio to talk about his latest album, Looking for the Sun.

Taking time out this week to remember Donald Byrd, who sadly passed away earlier in the week. We really only had the time to play a few of his tracks, but I had played other Byrd tunes as recently as last week, and in January as well. If you’re not familiar with the man and his music, it’s not too late to catch up and I highly encourage you to do so.
After that, a bit of a random set of dance tracks before going back into hip hop. Then, since it’s the first week of February, I had to hit you up with some Dilla.
Shout to the Dirty Needles guys who also played a Dilla set, as they do every year. The amazing thing, listening to their show, was how different theirs sounded from ours. Just goes to show how wide-ranging was his production style.

This week, we took over the Road Pops to bring you 3 hours of music to kick off a nice holiday weekend. the first part of the Road Pops is some mellow stuff ahead of an interview with Trick Trick. In the second half of the Road Pops, we wind it up through some nice breaks and then some fine house.
For the Fat Beat Diet, we mellow it out with some nice hip hop and funk.

20 yrs of Dr Dre’s The Chronic album? Wow, time flies. Other than celebrating this minor milestone, this week on the Fat Beat Diet, we kick off with some nice downtempo beats before winding through hiph op and then on to some nice ragga drum’n’bass at the end of the show.

It’s been fun starting it off these last few weeks with some nice uptempo jams. Not sure that’ll always be the case, but it’s been working so far. On the uptempo goodness side, I’m loving everything about this track right now:
The drums, baseline, filtered vocals… Well, maybe the vocals a little less than the rest of the track, but this one’s making my butt wiggle. Also, if you liked the Route 94 track, go get it here.
Speaking of things I’m liking, this Mystikal track came out of nowhere, but big fan of this also.
Pretty nice flow to the show this week. Hope you enjoy it too.
