This is an archive of The Clean Up Hour, which should air February 26, 2021 on CKMS 102.7. Tonight is a new All Things Considered where I make the case for David Dallas, an artist whose ear for production and everyman lyricism completely justifies his status as the face of New Zealand Hip-Hop. Though he fell off my radar following The Rost Tint -- much to my shame -- he's been doing a lot of dope shit this past decade.

The Clean Up Hour, Mix 102 (March 26, 2021): All Things Considered 19 [David Dallas]

This is an archive of The Clean Up Hour, which should air April 16, 2021 on CKMS 102.7. Tonight's mix is dedicated to DMX, the legendary rapper whose legacy cannot be overstated. He was someone whose music touched the souls of many, while crossing certain cultural barriers we may never see crossed again. Though the legacy he leaves behind is flawed, art would not be what it is without complicated artists -- as much as we may not like that idea.

Long live DMX.

The Clean Up Hour, Mix 105 (April 16, 2021): RIP DMX

This is an archive of The Clean Up Hour, which should air May 7, 2021 on CKMS 102.7. Tonight's mix is a dedication to Shock G, and by extension, Digital Underground. Both Shock and DU were Bay Area innovators, self-confident in their abilities as entertainers, and fundamentally original. Shock's passing is a reminder to better appreciate the oddities of Hip Hop, regardless of trends both ongoing and in the past. RIP Shock G -- long live Digital Underground.

Tonight's mix is the first of three mixes I'll be doing, throughout the year, which focus on 2011 -- a year that was not only just a good year, musically, but also when I was equipped with the technological ability to begin exploring what felt like a brand new, exciting world.

The Clean Up Hour, Mix 129 (October 1, 2021)

This is an archive of The Clean Up Hour, which should air November 19, 2021 on CKMS 102.7. Tonight's All Things Considered is a bit different, instead focusing on a beloved group whose career never quite gets discussed on the fullest possible terms. Here, I make the case for Gravediggaz's work following the departure of Prince Paul and RZA, and why the group still deserve love all these years later. RIP Too Poetic.

Also, sorry if I sound a bit shit, my sinuses are killing me today.

The Clean Up Hour, Mix 136 (November 19, 2021): All Things Considered 27 [Gravediggaz]

This is an archive of The Clean Up Hour, which should air September 23, 2022 on CKMS 102.7. Tonight's All Things Considered makes the case for Ja Rule, the controversial hitmaker who, as I argue tonight, deserves a reassessment. Despite the beefs and punchlines and surreal moments, Ja managed to drop 6 albums, with numerous hits, in a six year span, and who knows what might have come after had Murder Inc not been hit with a RICO case. Tonight's mix emerges through the fog to pay homage to someone who, like it or not, was part of the soundtrack of the 2000s Hip Hop and Pop scenes.

The Clean Up Hour, Mix 180 (September 23, 2022): All Things Considered 38 [Ja Rule]

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.

The Clean Up Hour, Mix 186 (November 4, 2022): RIP TAKEOFF

This is an archive of The Clean Up Hour, which should air January 27, 2023 on CKMS 102.7. Tonight's mix is -- an admittedly late -- dedication to Gangsta Boo, the legendary Memphis rapper who not only held her own in Three 6 Mafia, but perpetuated an illustrious solo career, developing sounds and aesthetics which have inspired many throughout the years. Her loss, at the beginning of the year, marks the passing of a legend who had more to do. RIP Gangsta Boo.

The Clean Up Hour, Mix 198 (January 27, 2023): RIP GANGSTA BOO

This is an archive of The Clean Up Hour, which should air October 27, 2023 on CKMS 102.7. Tonight's All Things Considered changes things up by making the case for Shintaro Sakamoto, a legend of Japanese psychedelic rock with Yura Yura Teikoku whose solo music -- a hauntology of funk and groove -- caught my attention ten years ago. Dude's still rocking, and still making great existential music, so if you're unfamiliar, time to get familiar!

All songs are either by Shintaro Sakamoto or Yura Yura Teikoku.

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, which should air December 22, 2023 on CKMS 102.7. Tonight's All Things Considered (which is not in 320kbps -- sorry, I didn't realize that until after I closed audacity, so my bad if the sound is a bit crunchy) pays homage to the one and only Keor Meteor. Beatmaker extraordinaire, his beat tapes were not only the soundtrack to my university career, but continue to impress me with their sharp world-building, banging beats, dope sample flips, and general sense of frustration and wonder with the world. If you ain't familiar, time to get familiar.

The Clean Up Hour, Mix 245 (December 22, 2023): All Things Considered 53 [Keor Meteor]

This is an archive of The Clean Up Hour, which should air January 5, 2024 on CKMS 102.7. Tonight is #50-26 of this the Top 50 of 2023 list. 2023 was a relentlessly shitty year, on many fronts, and I fear that even seeped into this years music; I was unable to shake a certain feeling of frustration with the state of things right now.

This is an archive of The Clean Up Hour. Tonight, I talk about stan culture in the context of this past week's events.

The Clean Up Hour, Mix 251 (February 2, 2024): mophead talks about stan culture in 2024

This is an archive of The Clean Up Hour. Tonight's All Things Considered makes the case for Amir Obe, whose discography has been consistently providing us dope melodies, atmospheres, moods, and stories for more ten plus years. People often comment that Obe doesn't get the love he deserves; while this mix won't change that overall, the mix still does its best to make the case for an artist I haven't stopped checking for throughout the past decade.

The Horizon Broadening Hour #22

This is an archive of The Clean Up Hour. Tonight's All Things Considered segment makes the case for Controller 7, the San Diego producer who has not only contributed to some significant, beloved work, but who has a solo discography that, I argue, more people should be diving into. Eclectic samples, tight drums, and diverse soundscapes make his projects a tour de force; if you're looking to expand your palette, this mix is for you.

The Clean Up Hour, Mix 260 (April 5, 2024): Five Years of The Clean Up Hour

This is an archive of The Clean Up Hour. Tonight's All Things Considered segment makes the case for Asher Roth -- one of the last rappers who, 16 years in, still sounds like he loves rapping, a rarity in today's game. The mix makes the case that no matter your perception of him, he's always brought clever, witty, meditative bars to a genre that has, in some ways, been hostile to him; for that, he deserves a lot more recognition. 

All sounds by Asher Roth unless listed otherwise.

The Clean Up Hour, Mix 80 (October 23, 2020): All Things Considered 14 [Hodgy Beats]

This is an archive of The Clean Up Hour, which should air March 5, 2021. As the title indicates, tonight is a dedication to The Fat Boys. Following the death of Prince Markie Dee, I felt it important to pay respect and homage to a group who was a part of the foundation of Hip Hop's commercial ascension. I also lament how The Fat Boys has been perceived by critics.

Also doing slowed + reverb music now lol

To those of you looking for the slowed + reverb version of "Benji the Dog" by Mac Miller (RIP), it was copyright claimed after 15,000 plays. If you're desperate for the mp3, dm me here and we can work something out.
