My UMA choice for Best Radio Show - Stolen Records on FBi!
June 29th 2007 05:59
So I'm biased. It's not just because I work with ShantanWantanIchiban that I'm helping him in his campaign to dump toxic radio and vote for his Hip Hop radio show, Stolen Records on Sunsets at FBi 94.5FM (Sydney). It's because I dig the music he plays (well majority of it) but most of all, I like his local and international celebrity and lesser known guests coming into the studio and ripping live solo or battle freestyles, talking about random topics and what not. What really entertains me are the cheap shots, defensive comebacks and outrageous claims.
Campaigning against cardigans and wack music, SWI insists on dropping records from all kinds of Hip Hop-related or influenced genres, from many different countries. It's good to see a lot of local artists being given exposure on this volunteer-based not-for-profit radio station, who really minimise on the amount of ads they play; to show my support and enthusiasm for this, I signed up as a passionate supporter during their fundraising drive. I turned down the free tickets to 13th Son's show as I had plans for that night, and a free cd which I have access to at work but instead, requested that guest MC NickKnowledge, a friend of mine from good ol' UNSW spit in German about man-boobs. Sorry Nick, that was a tough one, and I would've struggled too.
So to keep this guy on air, keep the great music flowing with all his awesome guests, foghorns and BRAAAAppp BRAAAApppping, vote for Stolen Records at www.urbanmusicawards.com.au. Just look at that e-flyer! Now isn't that enough to sway your vote? To get to know Shantan, listen in on Wednesdays, 6-8pm EST or stream it from the FBi website.
