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.

The Rhyme ch.65 (Direct TV 845) Sunday (8/10) 6pm et

While hangin’ out around the desk one day, our friend Ari B suggested we do a show on hip hop releases people had in rotation back in the summer of ‘98….we loved the idea. So this week we take it back exactly 10 years and explore what was playing in our car, discman, or 20 GB computers back in 1998! Don’t miss tracks from Goodie Mob, Lauryn Hill, Pete Rock, Dj Honda, Eightball, Killarmy and many more…

As one of the founding members of Company Flow, Mr. Len is the epitome of what progressive hip hop is. We speak of the 90s as a time when the progressive sounds developed and prospered, well here is a man who made those sounds, lived through the time, and had many direct connections to others who were trailblazing the progressive sounds. Join Len as he hits you off with a dope mix this week on Subsoniq Classix! We are honored to have Mr. Len as part of the Subsoniq Crew, so please make him feel welcome. http://www.myspace.com/mrlen
