Hasan Stephens, aka DJ Maestro, Hip Hop Scholar and Radio Executive, during a lecture at Syracuse University earlier this year.
During recent trips to DMV-area (DC, Maryland and Virginia) and Philadelphia I had the opportunity to experience some diverse radio programming. It was particularly a treat to hear Hip-Hop pioneer Lady B doing a marvelous throw-back show called The Basement Party.
Today I read the DJ Maestro and partners will be starting an online radio vehicle that will enter the urban music market in the area. Labor Day is the launch date.
Below you can hear Maestro talk about the need for diversity in Hip-Hop music during a lecture at Syracuse University earlier this year.
