A few years ago I was living in Savannah GA. While there I met some great people dedicated to the love of good music. One thing led to another and I got a chance to host my own radio show out of Savannah State University, WHCJ 90.3 FM. Here at the show is where I met my dude, my brother, my partner in crime and head of this blog spot M.A.F.A.M.A.D.I.X.
My homeboy Ren who I was originally hosting my radio show with brought in MAF while I was in Iraq. I got back and MAF and I were introduced... and the rest, as they say, is history. The name of the show was "Ghetto Edutainment" and it aired two times a week. Saturday nights from 1-4 AM which we called "Suped Up Saturdays" and Monday evenings from 6-8 PM which we called "Maniac Monday." The Monday show was live as opposed to the Staurday night show which was pre-recorded on Friday nights.
Let me just say this, and I know I speak for everyone involved with the show, WE LOOKED FORWARD TO FRIDAY NIGHTS ALL WEEK LONG. It was our escape from the real world, that show was our real world where we were able to spend the most valuable moments with our first true love "Hip Hop." The times we had in that small soundproofed studio will forever be some of the greatest times of my life.
This entry into the blog will showcase the radio show. Big-up to my peoples who had an integral part of the show. Of course my brother M.A.F.A.M.A.D.I.X. One of the greatest Hip Hop loving, incredibly talented MCs I know Figero Baunchi. And of course I cannot forget the coolest brother in the SAV Doc Oct. Doc Oct was one of the last members of the Sound Squad. He is a great DJ, not to mention a vinyl expert. He is the only other brother I know that I can truly say may love Hip Hop as much as I do and I love him for that. I cannot forget my dude Rashnl, he stepped off to the ATL to do bigger and better things. Rashnl had an incredible appreciation for the lyrical aspect of Hip Hop, something that has absolutely no part in about 80 percent of todays Hip Hop, I miss ya Rashnl, hope all is well.
Theses were all and still are my brothers. There's no more GHETTO EDUTAINMENT, no more radio station and no more gatherings, but we will always have our memories... and I now share them with you.
Enjoy.
