Devin + Redbull 3Style | 5.2.11

It's that time of year again...pledge drive. To help stress the importance of independent/community radio the Ill Street received a special call from the one and only Devin the Dude who talked about not only his music, but how supporting the radio station helps support what he does. Afterwards our good friend Munch stopped by to promote the Redbull 3Style Competition. Things started heating up as fellow contestants DJ's Cuzzin B, Jerome Baker III, Petey C, Price and 2-Tone Jones all chimed in to put the pressure on one another. And lastly, our honorly Ill Street member, comedian Toney Woods, dropped in to tell us about his trip overseas. This one is definitely worth a listen...right here.

The VJC | 2.28.11

Throughout Hip-Hop there have always been artists and people in the mix who are not as widely known or even heard of by fans of the music. But within the scene they are very respected and heralded by those who are at the forefront. One such group that continues to push the envelope and work for their moment in the spotlight is The Vinyl Junkie Clique (VJC). On this episode of Ill Street we had the pleasure of having 7 members of the VJC call in from LA, The Bay, ATL, and NYC all at once to rap with us about who they are and how they've managed to continue to grow stronger despite being so spread out. Our resident DJ and co-host 2-Tone Jones (who is also a member of the VJC) served up a set on the wheels of steel that displayed just how dope and talented the VJC is, both lyrically and on the production side.
