SUW ReMIX Project  I Had A Good Time (Please Don't Go) ReRemix   Favoriting     2018    this show is dedicated to SUW's Michele and Frangry whom we all miss on these here FMU airwaves -  *   0:00:00 (Pop-up)
Del & Amp Live  Help (feat. Adult Karate)   Favoriting Gate. 13    2018    #BayArea. Since longtime member of Zion I producer Amp Live split with his emcee partner Zumbi (who continues Zion I solo) he has been busy being his usual super creative self. In 2018 he teamed up again with Del the Funky Homosapien this time for the full-length album “Gate 13” on which he flexes his future beat production style. On this track he both employs among other styles some opera (something first done by Malcolm McLaren) while also continuing the vibe he first crafted a decade ago on “RADIOHEAD RAINYDAYS REMIXES” his dope Radiohead remix project that included guest spots from Zumbi, Too $hort and Del.    0:01:18 (Pop-up)
deM atlaS  Bad Loves Company EDIT   Favoriting Bad Actress  Rhymesayers Entertainment  2018    deM atlaS is Minneapolis multi-talented artist Joshua Turner. This wonderful track is off his 2018 Rhymesayers album Bad Actress which, while not his first release, is the first official full-length album release by the emcee, poet,painter, and former frontman for a rock. As noted by his renowned record label, this soul bearing album is “packed the album with unguarded emotions centered around a lifetime of unhealthy relationships, struggles with mental illness, and an indomitable drive to overcome them.”    0:02:51 (Pop-up)

Senor Gigio  Ride (The Fall of Mac'n Cheez) (scratches by KIDSIXTH)   Favoriting Heroes of the Gold Rush    2018    #BayArea. More underground Bay Area hip-hop talent that was supported on this show -upon its July release. As stated by the artist on his Bandcamp page “Señor Gigio is the Emcee with No Name in this Hip Hop western. Time traveling back to the days of the 1849 gold rush & fast forwarding to the 2018 tech boom era in the Bay, Señor Gigio tells stories filled with California lore & social commentary for the times we live in. Of course, never short of romance, mysticism & humor, this album is also a tribute to the golden age of Hip Hop - especially the golden age hip hop of California & especially ESPECIALLY the great San Francisco Bay Area.”    0:09:39 (Pop-up)
Knxwledge  WhyUGangsta? EDIT   Favoriting 2PK.4TRK.B.SiDE.    2018    Ever prolific NJ to LA artist whom I interviewed here a while back recorded lots of music in 2018 including this song/album.

That was BRILLIANT! A tape montage of all the Frangry & Michelle signing-off-for-Summer comments from last Spring with the speed changed and other alterations so if you listened to them right along, that's the only way you'd know what you just heard! Who's a guy gotta pay around here to find out what actually happened?
