Living Again (Attica Black Redrum)

This is an archive of The Clean Up Hour, which should air March 31, 2023. Tonight's mix is another dedication mix to Nipsey Hussle, four years to the day after he was killed. In this one, I briefly talk about Hussle's approach to mixtapes, and the future that was brutally taken when he was killed. RIP Nipsey -- The Marathon Continues.

Cell Therapy (Remix)

This is an archive of The Clean Up Hour, which should air October 6, 2023 on CKMS 102.7. Tonight, we go back to the summer of 2003, when I was between the 3rd and 4th grade. The Murder Inc. vs. G-Unit beef was everywhere, Myspace had just launched, and I was just watching X-Play and trying to soak up as much rap as I could. I also talk a bit about the legacy of Pac and Big's deaths in relation to 2003.

The Clean Up Hour, Mix 234 (October 6, 2023): an Ode to 2003, Part 2

This is an archive of The Clean Up Hour. Tonight's mix is another ode to Trugoy the Dove by way of De La Soul, the legendary trio whose music has, finally, started getting some of its due (though certainly not all of it, in my opinion) by way of its distribution through streaming services. While a monumental achievement, not everything is going to be uploaded, so tonight mixes in favorites and deep cuts to show love to De La. RIP Trugoy -- fly high.

The Clean Up Hour, Mix 252 (February 9, 2024): Another One for Trugoy, One Year On -- De La Forever!

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.

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.
