This is another solo mix show. After a hard day at work and with no MCs up in the place, I decided to flex the soulful side of my record collection alongside the usual UK and US rap bangers. Look out for our regular shows every Thursday night 9-10pm on HHBRadio.com.

After a successful run with "Coming 2 America" on college radio and the video still making waves for Enot, he is striking while the iron is hot!

Rawkus Records will celebrate its 12th year in business in 2008. In 2007 the label continued to develop many important new artists including Kidz in the Hall, Panacea, Marco Polo, and Hezekiah.
