The Albany Times Union newspaper recently ran an article on
 Hip Hop Culture in the mainstream.

I was quoted in the article a few times.  More importantly, I was the only radio DJ mentioned in the article.  Where was the self-described "Don" from 96.3? Ha!

You can check out the article here.

the DJ Toast 15 Year Anniversary event here.

From a recent issue of Remix magazine:

“You have to own these records,” DJ Premier insists. “These are lessons in life from the hip-hop world. If you own these records, you will get it. You own these, and you are the man. It's a big deal to have these records in your collection, because then you won't never fuck up the way you make your joints. A lot of people don't know how to make hot joints right now. Stuff out there is being classified as hip-hop, but it ain't — it's something else. To be pure hip-hop, it can't be that happy-dappy shit. It's got to get you in the soul, man.”
