…tor’cha on 89.9fm…what?!?!

Good people, what’s good?
Okay, so I really wasn’t playing around when I designated August as “tor’cha – the movement” month. And this was one I didn’t want to let out of the bag until it was official…
For all y’all official hip-hop heads, you can catch me on Squeeze Radio this Thursday night (August 14th) from 1-5am on 89 tech 9!!! Tune in as Mr.LeN goes in on the ones and twos while Special Guest Todd Craig talks about tor’cha!!!

For all who know and love underground hip-hop, you understand the seriousness of this guest appearance. But for all who don’t, let me break it down for you. WKCR’s 1-5am Thursday night slot is legendary, and has served as the New York epicenter of underground hip-hop music and culture. It all started with “The Stretch Armstrong and Bobbito Show” – in the early 1990s the show was voted “the best hip-hop show of all time” by Source Magazine and “the best hip-hop show in New York” by the Village Voice. My college years were consumed with NYC day trips – running from Massachusetts down to New York to pick up the tapes of the radio show, only to then turn around and go right back to school!!! (Shouts to Scrappy on the late-night taping sessions) “89 tech 9” was the pulse of underground hip-hop music and culture, with Stretch and Bob not only breaking records, but also breaking unsigned artists we’ve come to know and love throughout the years, including Nas, Big L, Mobb Deep, Big Pun, Jay-Z and Wu-Tang Clan. From the early days of DJ Stretch Armstrong and Bobbito the Barber to Lord Sear, Rich Medina and Sucio Smash, the legacy continues to live on. So to go from listening to the show, to Bobbito’s blurb for tor’cha, then to being a guest on the show…wow!!! It’s truly the definition of things coming full circle.

So “tor’cha – the movement” month moves on crazily. Make sure you tune into Squeeze Radio this Thursday night from 1-5am to hear Mr.LeN with special guest Todd Craig. Now if you’re not in the NYC area – I got you!!! You can listen online by simply clicking HERE – that link will get you to the show. And believe me when I tell you, you’re in for a treat with Mr.LeN’s crates – the XM radio sets were super-ill! And for all you skeptics, I’ll even give you the link to Mr.LeN’s bio so you can see for yourself just how real it is. Shouts to Stretch Armstrong, Kool Bob Love, Lord Sear and Sucio Smash for keeping the legacy alive and well! And of course, three cheers to Mr.LeN for really lookin’ out on this one.

We’re moving in August – make sure you hop on the bandwagon now before we’re outta here!!!

Peace and Love
