This is news for all my Charleston, SC kinfolk back home. This Friday, March 19th, there’s a new hip-hop station launching in Charleston. For as long as I can remember, Z93 Jamz has been the only hip-hop and R&B station back home (I don’t know if there have been any other stations recently because I hardly ever go home), and after moving, listening to radio stations in cities like Atlanta, Miami, Charlotte and hell, even Columbia, SC, I must say Z93 Jamz is a pretty wack radio station. That’s not a shot at anyone, I’m just saying. Anyways, I hope this new station, 92.5 The Box, brings a much needed hip-hop and R&B radio presence (Lord knows my city needs it). Outside of the Ricky Smiley morning show, I don’t know who the jocks will be, but they can’t be any cornier than the ones that have been on Z93 for the last 10 years. So, for my Chucktown fam, let me know how the new station sounds when it launches on Friday.
A couple weeks ago, I introduced you all to my girl from Charleston, singer/songwriter Asia Bryant, and her new song “Can’t Help It.” Well, Asia and her team launched a Remix Contest, and they’re asking any producers that are interested to download the acapella version of “Can’t Help It” and produce your own remix. The finalists will be narrowed down, the winner will be chosen by AsiaBryant.com visitors and the remix will be featured on the official maxi-single on iTunes.
If any producers out there are interested, more information is available at AsiaBryant.com. But I’m about to run the original back, cause that ish be jammin’.
Well, I hope everyone had a great weekend. Congrats to Mo’nique for winning Best Supporting Actress last the Oscar’s last night, for her role in Precious. To be honest, I’ve never seen Precious because I have no interest in seeing a movie about too fat girls, but for what it’s worth, I never saw The Hurt Locker either, and that movie won a ton of awards last night. But anyways, new week, new playlist. Welcome back to The Block ya’ll.
