Billy Jam:

Tragically hip-hop artists have a greater probability of dying at a younger age than those of any other contemporary genre. In honor of the musical legacies of the way too many hip-hop artists prematurely taken from this world Billy Jam presents “R.I.P. RAP” as part two of the five-part 2020 WFMU Hip-Hop Hellraiser series on Put The Needle On The Record 7pm Friday October 9th

Billy Jam:

thanks to SCOTT WILLIAMS for engineering today's show back in New Jersey - thanks to my co-host today BAS-One and to DJ ALF who produced the main instrumental today - and to YOU if you supported this station and this show during our ongoing October Hellraiser series - and a special SHOUT-OUT/DEDICATION to all of the HIP-HOP artists who died too young being celebrated today in this show - so many that we will only scratch the surface in playing their music and even in the mentions both on air and in comments - ALSO shout out to everyone we love who has died - thanks for listening to F M U know!
