People who know me are familiar with my phrase, "Hip Hop's not dead... You just been listening to the radio". That particular phrase holds true until you set your radio to 89.3 FM 10pm-1am every other Saturday in Atlanta. In that case you will be Listening to The Beatz & Lyrics Show hosted by my dog, Jay Force. Some of you may have heard of Jay and lots haven't But since he hit the airwaves in Philadelphia in 1990 he has been given us nothing but pure uncut Hip Hop. A driving force in ATL's Hip Hop community, Jay Force is the hardest working man in Non-Commercial radio. With his accomplishments and international fame, Jay Force is more than qualified to have his own show on any of the commercial urban radio stations that systematically pump poison into our homes and cars, but it is his choice to remain on non-commercial radio where he can play good music because it's good. It's brothers like Jay that has influenced me to stop using the term underground when referring to Hip Hop. With listeners in Japan, Paris, London, Germany, Denmark, Sweden, Brazil, The Philippines, Czech Republic, The Caribbean, & many others, how could you call real Hip Hop "underground". Thanks to Jay Force and others like him, real Hip Hop is international.
