Speech Is My Hammer...

So Ya Boy's Doin' Radio Now...


January 15, 2008 | Tags: none

What’s good? I try to stay away from the whole self-promotion thing in Speech Is My Hammer for the most part, but I’m too excited about this to keep it to myself. Plus, y’all have always supported me in my endeavors (‘preciate it!), so I figured I’d let y’all know.

Starting this month, me and my man JYoung The General are the latest hosts to Cultural Vibe, a radio station through Michigan State University. Every Saturday night from 8-11, we’ll be playing hip-hop and R&B, and we’ll be having guests come in to give us interviews about what they’ve got going on. With my credentials—interviewing your favorite emcees, freelancing for nationally-circulated mags, and blogging/writing for the best hip-hop site on the net—and his credentials—being a dope emcee, ghostwriter, and part of a producer tandem that fucks with the Dips—this was the perfect fit. Our first show was on Saturday, so let me swagger jack AHLOT (whattup ma!) and get my photojournalism on.

(Wale's "Nike Boots" remix w/Lil Wayne just came on. That beat is just stupid.)


Getting comfortable with the mic. Pause.


Crate-digging (for lack of a better term)


SMH.

Also, here’s my two playlists (his was in a text file, but this should give you an idea of what we’re fucking with).

I’ve got one more self-promotion spot coming up by the end of the month, but tune in to the show if you can (http://www.impact89fm.org/, and click on "Listen Live!"...the online streaming was down during our first show, but we're hoping it'll be back up soon). Even if you can’t, give the homie some feedback: What do y’all like about radio, and what do y’all hate? What do y’all think radio needs to work on? What do y'all wanna hear? Answers, niggas!

And I’ve got some blog ideas in the oven, too. Hopefully at least one will be up by the end of the week.
