Did a small slowed + reverb. Might get back to doing these soon. Hopefully no copyright shit kills the profile!

The Clean Up Hour, Mix 125 (September 3, 2021): Another One for Mac Miller, Three Years On

This is an archive of The Clean Up Hour, which should air April 1, 2022 on CKMS 102.7. As is tradition around this time, tonight's mix is a dedication to Nipsey Hussle, the LA visionary who is sorely, deeply missed. Tonight's mix focusses more on deep cuts, collaborations, and freestyles, as a reminder of Nip's range and energy. TMC!

The Clean Up Hour, Mix 155 (April 1, 2022): Three Years On, Another One for Nipsey

This is an archive of the Clean Up Hour, which should air July 8, 2022 on CKMS 102.7. This month's All Things Considered looks back at V-Nasty -- 1/3 of the White Girl Mob, and arguably its most controversial member, tonight's mix posits that, underneath the discourse surrounding her linguistic choices is a discography that was actually ahead of its time. With a frenetic, chaotic, trap-ready energy, Nasty's discography is worth a reconsideration, especially if one wants to understand the full impact of the White Girl Mob.

The Clean Up Hour, Mix 169 (July 8, 2022): All Things Considered 35 [V-Nasty]

This is an archive of The Clean Up Hour, which should air August 5, 2022 on CKMS 102.7. Tonight marks the end of white girl summer as I make the case for Kreayshawn. I put forward the -- rather common -- argument that she was highly influential, introducing a sound that could open doors for alt-girls, underground goofballs, and others to make their own forms of based music. Kreay also fell on the sword, a victim of a record label system that only cares about the bottom line, no matter the destruction left behind. Kreay deserves recognition for her impact on rap music since 2010, and this episode also demonstrates, fully, just how important the White Girl Mob was to the current rap landscape.

The Clean Up Hour, Mix 173 (August 5, 2022): All Things Considered 36 [Kreayshawn]

This is an archive of The Clean Up Hour, which should air November 4, 2022 on CKMS 102.7. Tonight's mix is dedicated to Takeoff -- 1/3 of Migos, 1/2 of Unc & Phew, and 1 hell of an influential individual. Takeoff leaves behind a legacy of reintroducing the triplet flow, revolutionizing trap music, and being both the underdog, and people's champ, of Migos. His murder, this past Tuesday, was senseless and tragic, and at only 28 years old, he had so much fucking more left to do. Never did one expect the Migos to end like this. Love to Quavo, Offset, their whole family, and everyone trying to comprehend what can only be seen as a nightmare. RIP Takeoff -- long live Migos.

This is an archive of The Clean Up Hour, which should air September 8, 2023 on CKMS 102.7. Tonight is the show's fifth dedication mix to Mac Miller -- icon of the blog era, Pittsburgh's finest, and a rapper whose death continues to linger over Hip Hop and modern music in general. We miss you, Mac.

This is an archive of The Clean Up Hour, which should air November 10, 2023 on CKMS 102.7. Tonight, after doing the spiel for the station's fundraising drive (radiowaterloo.ca/give, support local radio!), I played one more mix of (mostly) posse cuts, the final in the series that started after Rolling 50 Deep dropped.

The Clean Up Hour, Mix 239 (November 10, 2023): One More Mix of (Mostly) Posse Cuts

This is an archive of The Clean Up Hour. Tonight's show is dedicated to Julian Malone, the Chicago MC who may not have been active for long in the rap game, but left an indelible mark on many of his listeners. He is an irreplaceable artist whose work should not be forgotten, no matter how much time has passed, what the numbers were, etc. RIP Julian Malone -- long live 200eighties/BRKF$T Club.

The Clean Up Hour, Mix 288 (October 18, 2024)

This is an archive of The Clean Up Hour. Tonight's mix makes the case for Sixtoo, the Nova Scotia MC whose discography consistently demanded more out of everyone -- himself, Hip Hop, and the heads listening. His discography is difficult to get ahold of, which I do posit is unfortunate, given how mind-expanding it can be. Here's hoping the return he's been teasing happens sooner, rather than later! 

Work in Progress and The Canada Project really do need to start getting included in y'all's "best hip hop tracks ever" lists.

Note that the third part of the mix had to be included separately, due to file size issues.

The Clean Up Hour, Mix 323 (June 20, 2025)

This is an archive of The Clean Up Hour. Tonight, we're taking it back to the summer of 2000, when Bill Clinton let us all have GPS in our cars, helping usher in the security state of today. Hip Hop continued to be in a bit of a funky place, still under the influence of No Limit's sound, and 90s mentalities, but with others wanting to bask in the new millennium's energy. I was 6 at the time, so I can't say I remember it vividly, but I sang the Nickelodeon version of Who Let The Dogs Out like it was nobody's business, so even then, I was starting to turn into a mischievous lil shit. It was also the summer of Marshall Mathers, a summer that, like Gambino on the end of Camp, we never left. 

Also, a dropbox link for PJ Smith's No Crap Radio can be found here: https://radiowaterloo.ca/no-crap-radio-reblast-ver-3-11-apr-22-25-9pm/. RIP PJ -- hope they got plenty of Ska records for you on the other side.

Today, I had the surprising, and very-appreciated, opportunity to interview Shad -- subject of the April 2023 All Things Considered, he is an MC in the truest possible sense of the term. With an essential discography in Hip Hop, I spoke with him today about his upcoming album, Start Anew, his return to the Tri-City area, teaching in the AI age, and Canada's hip hop listenership. Hope y'all enjoy!

The Clean Up Hour, Mix 340 (October 17, 2025): the Shad Interview

This is an archive of The Clean Up Hour. Tonight's show is dedicated to D'Angelo, a monumental force in music, who passed away last week at 51 years old. With a sound that elevated to him to incredible heights, and a discography of unimpeachable importance, he certainly left this mortal coil with no doubts that his music mattered -- point blank, period. RIP D'Angelo.

This is an archive of The Clean Up Hour. Peanuts & Corn Summer might be over, but tonight's All Things Considered makes the case for The Gumshoe Strut -- Winnipeg one-man-band-man, P&C affiliate, and artist who deserves more of your attention. With a rich and unique discography, Gumshoe Strut has been contributing to the development of Canadian Hip Hop for 30 years at this point, so if you ain't familiar, then all things considered, it's time to get familiar!

The Clean Up Hour, Mix 342 (October 31, 2025): All Things Considered #75 [The Gumshoe Strut]

This is an archive of The Clean Up Hour. Tonight, I speak on the news that Hip Hop briefly exited the Billboard charts, and argue that Hip Hop ain't dead, but the culture it exists within is -- that's going to make it hard for any genre, but especially for a genre where rep, individuality, and character are essential.

Also, CKMS 102.7 FM is fundraising, please consider donating to the Power Up Community Radio campaign. No other station is gonna let me have airtime, so come on, y'all! https://radiowaterloo.ca/power-up-community-radio-2025-fall-fundraiser/

The Clean Up Hour, Mix 343 (November 7, 2025): Hip Hop Ain't Dead... (culture is, tho)

This is an archive of The Clean Up Hour. Tonight's All Things Considered makes the case for Saukrates -- 31 years deep in the game, he's a legend of Canadian Hip Hop who managed to break numerous barriers, in terms of geography and sonic experimentation; navigated, gracefully, the perils and plights of the major label system; and demonstrated that there are all sorts of possibilities to build a name for one's self, off the strength of resolve and character. He's probably had a hand in a number of your favorite projects and joints, so if you ain't familiar, time to get familiar! 

Also, the Power Up Community Radio Fundraiser ends at midnight, please consider making a last minute donation here: https://radiowaterloo.ca/power-up-community-radio-2025-fall-fundraiser/.

This is an archive of The Clean Up Hour. Tonight, we're headed back to the last four months of 2015 -- we were inching further into trump world, Joe Budden's new podcast was wasting everyone's time, and I was starting to face my first moments of difficulty in keeping up with the times. It was a weird fall, but one I sometimes miss the feeling of, tremendously. There was a lot of great music during that time, as well as some bullshit. I'd go back, even if I can't front that I wasn't in the greatest headspace. But man, look at how things have stagnated. Ay caramba.

Leave a comment if you need me to identify a track. 

Also, I apparently reposted this on FB ten years ago today, if that helps get a sense of how much of a doofus I can be: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u7CzGAj_gCw.

The Horizon Broadening Hour #107

This is an archive of The Clean Up Hour. Tonight, we're taking it back to the final months of 2005 -- the Xbox 360 was launching, the world was tired of George W. Bush, 50 and G-Unit reached the peak of their chokehold on Hip Hop, and I, very briefly, was semi-competent at math.

The Horizon Broadening Hour #108

This is an archive of The Clean Up Hour. Tonight's mix is the final ode of the year -- a look back at the final four months of 2000. The UN Millennium Conference tried to convince us that there was hope for the future, something instantly countered by the disaster that was the Florida recount. That said, the PS2 launched and I was playing GameBoy Color and Midtown/Motocross Madness, so the disaster of my own life had already started to fall into place! The final four months of 2000 had a great mix of classic tracks, dope drops, and some stuff you haven't thought about in 25 years. It's an era I wish I could travel back to, just to observe from the outside, but alas, the music will just have to transport us back, even if it reminds us that a few fateful decisions gave us George W. Bush and Tony Blair. Ah, to get either socks or 25 years of my life back for Christmas.

The Horizon Broadening Hour #110

This is an archive of The Clean Up Hour. 

Ah, 2025 -- what a fucking year. It's been a mess, and that unfortunately includes a lot of shit news and even more shit music. Tonight is my way of flushing it out of my system before the new year. 15 albums, plus the "Someone Shat in the Mopbucket Awards." It's more than 2 hours of me being an unbridled hater. Also, I forgot to mention, if you have a bad album to drop, you have until the 1st; I won't rank anything that drops in the week between this and the new year.
