Z-Trip’s Obama Tribute Mix on Subsoniq Classix

Thursday, October 30th, 2008

Sunday 10/5 6pm et, Wed. 10/7 6pm et, (The Rhyme ch.65 Direct TV 845)

So if you are a John McCain supporter we are guessing this mix may not quite inspire you as much as it does Obama supporters. Its very apparent to us that the vast majority of progressive hip hop artists are showing their support for Obama (or) a third party candidate this year. Our show covers the music those progressive artists make, and we never shy away from politics on the show.
Its rare that someone can infuse politics and music in such a unique way as Z-Trip does on this tribute. If your a fan of hip hop, reggae, rock, soul music and anything in between we think you’ll dig this. The mix also features Barack’s thoughts on a wide variety of topics, including hip hop. He has embraced the culture and the culture has embraced him.

Focus on Panacea/Q-Tip/Z-Trip>Obama

Saturday, October 25th, 2008

Sunday (11/2) 9pm et, Tuesday (11/24) 9 am et on RAW (ch.66, Direct TV 846)

November 4th is a huge day for both hip hop and our country in general. We elect our new president that day, the long awaited Q-Tip album drops, and all those who ordered the new Panacea album for October 28th finally get it delivered to them! (ha ha…a lil jab there folks). So in light of all these things going on over the next few days, we decided to split the show accordingly. The first hour Raw Poetic and K-Murdock (aka Panacea) sit down with KB and give some background on the making of the new album and pick out individual favs from it. We will also give a ten minute sampling of the new Q-Tip album “The Renaissance”, and allow Z-Trip to take over the last hour of the show with his recently released Obama Tribute Mix.
