I really miss Sarah’s show on BBC 1xtra. There is so much I still love about that station, but the hip hop offering is just not as diverse and just a little bit too yelly, since Sarah, Excalabar, Rodney P & Skitz had shows. Sarah’s show was the place for me to come to get the update on more traditional hip hop from the UK, and the states without too many explosions and other hoo harr. She even gave me a shout out once. I was super happy as I sat there listening at work.
Even so, Sarah has still been doing her thing. We were lucky enough to have her in on the show for a mix, when she was in Australia just a week or so ago.

It was a half n hour of power. In just 30 min Foreign Beggars, Borgore and 12th Planet exploded onto the airwaves with massive basslines and so much energy. Twitter was going crazy as the transformed the show into something you would expect to hear on London pirate radio.

Shots Shots Shots! Here are a few shots of Jean Grae, Mr Len and Mela when they ran amok on my radio show a week or so ago. You should really listen as the play everything from LMFAO to Jane’s Addiction, interview Pete Rock and are really mean to my poor mum… bastards!
I didn’t do much this show, just sat back and let it be consumed in the chaos. I handed over the first half of the show to some of New York’s finest hip hop artists Jean Grae, Mr Len & Mela Machinko. I give them a whole lot of rope and they use it to hang me.
Oh and after being really really mean, Jean also does me a favour and interviews Pete Rock.
Then in the second half of the show, it becomes more like a London pirate radio show as UK hip hop/grime crew Foreign Beggars takeover with Los Angeles dubstep producer 12th Planet and Israeli producer/dj/rapper Borgore.
Alphamama! All girls! All hot! All quite accomplished, amiable young musicians! We are joined by Anita Meiruntu and Milan Ring for an interview and live performance of an R&B cover.
Also I get on the decks to do a mix of hip hop, reggae, soul, miami bass and other types of Christmas songs. Each year we do a Christmas Special on the show, this mix is just a more condensed version of last years special with a couple of new editions.
In addition, Joyride joins us on mixing and shit talking duties.
