This is an archive of The Clean Up Hour. Tonight is the show's first of three odes to 2004 -- a good year for Hip Hop, a great year for video gaming, and a terrible year for the world thanks to the Zuck! On a more serious note, I was only ten that year, but I was absorbing so much music and gaming that year that it will always hold a special place in my heart, and so, here's my take on the first four months of a whirlwind year.

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.
