Subsoniq now on Hip Hop Nation, new shows to check

Wednesday, November 12th, 2008

Hip Hop Nation (ch.67 on XM platform, ch.40 on Sirius platform) - Sundays 10pm et

Subsoniq can now be heard on Sirius XM’s Hip Hop Nation. Our original time on RAW (ch.66 - R.I.P.) was 10pm-midnight et. We now takeover that timeslot again on the merged platform. We are excited to have the opportunity to continue to play the best of progressive hip hop over the satellites. While there are down sides (like losing our very short lived Tuesday 9am - 11am slot), we now get the chance to expose and promote progressive hip hop music to a wider audience. Expect the same approach and show/music philosphy from Subsoniq, we are now just on a different channel and at a different timeslot.

R.I.P. The Rhyme

Wednesday, November 12th, 2008

The Rhyme (formerly Ch.65 on XM Radio) has been discontinued as a result of the merger with Sirius. Backspin (formerly ch.43 on Sirius) also did not make the cut. This leaves the merged company with absolutely NO classic hip hop channel. The genre and the channel will be greatly missed by us here at Subsoniq (this also means the end of Subsoniq Classix).

If interested, below is a link for a petition started by subscribers to help reinstate The Rhyme and RAW.

How did Subsoniq start? Whose idea was it to include a progressive hip hop show on satellite radio? Who were the original hosts? Which channel originally threw major support behind the show and got it on the satellite platform? What early artists showed love to the show and helped the show get its feet? What role did it play in creating Panacea? All of this and much more are answered in this week’s show!  Subsoniq welcomes one of the original creators of show (Josh aka J Kannizle) into the studio for an in-depth look at the history of the show, the music it supports, and what the future holds. Check it out this week exclusively on XMU (ch.43, Direct TV 843)!
