Tagged as , , ,

The energy is off the charts as the DJ spins track after track, blending classic hits with deep cuts that take you right back to the early days of hip hop. You’ll hear the crisp scratch of the turntable, the thumping beats of the drum machine, and the smooth flow of MCs spitting rhymes that still hit hard decades later. Whether it’s the street-smart swagger of Boogie Down Productions, the party-starting anthems of Kurtis Blow, or the infectious rhythms of The Sugarhill Gang, Friday Night Hip Hop keeps the momentum going with non-stop bangers. Every beat, rhyme, and flow is a reminder of why the 80s were the foundation of hip hop.


But it’s not just about the music—it’s about the culture. The DJ drops knowledge between tracks, sharing stories about the birth of hip hop, the rise of breakdancing, and the art of graffiti. You’ll hear about how Grandmaster Flash changed the game with turntable techniques and how Run-D.M.C.’s fusion of rock and rap broke down musical barriers. Listeners can call in to give shoutouts, request their favorite jams, or just vibe with the community. It’s a celebration of the old-school spirit that built hip hop into a global movement, reminding everyone why this music still matters.


By the time the segment wraps up, you’ll be feeling energized and inspired. Friday Night Hip Hop isn’t just a playlist—it’s an experience. It’s that feeling of hearing EPMD’s “You Gots to Chill” drop and instantly knowing the words. It’s the thrill of reliving the golden age of hip hop with a crew of fellow fans who know that real rap never fades. So lace up your Adidas, pop on a fresh bucket hat, and let Friday Night Hip Hop take you back to where it all began!

Friday Night Hip Hop is where the weekend officially kicks off with a blast from the past! This high-energy radio segment brings you the best old-school hip hop from the 80s, serving up beats and rhymes that defined a generation. From the hard-hitting sounds of Run-D.M.C. and the smooth flow of LL Cool J to the funky vibes of EPMD and the lyrical brilliance of Eric B. & Rakim, Friday Night Hip Hop is a full-on tribute to the golden era of rap. When the bass drops and the beats hit, you know it’s time to turn up the volume on the JVC’s.
