Between 2003 - 2008 I would co host a radio show alongside DJ Eazy & Richard Bradstreet called G.HE.T.TO.P.I.M.P (Giving Healing Education Through Teaching One Principles Improving Mental Position)show on UCT Radio. Initially myself Eazy & Mr.Fat (R.I.P) Brasse Vannie Kaap was invited by Richard & Fat Cat to be a part of the show to facilitate a host of discussions ranging from hiphop to socio economic matters. Through this radio show we formed our NGO, HHESA (Hip Hop Education South Africa) formely known as The Faculty of Hip Hop  through which we did countless events, interviewed countless of SA hiphop artist and broke their music( 90% local music was a thing already), collaborated with international organizations and did countless school project. This is the audio version of the weekly mix slot which was part of the three hour show which is an all out vinyl affair - no Serato. Let’s transport back into time…
