Episode #270: Heart Beat of the City

Obviously, I'm running a bit behind on Star Time updates, as this episode first ran on RainierAvenueRadio.World almost a whole month ago. So, expect some upload madness on this site over the next couple of days. This entry is all '80s, with traditional R&B in the first half and an all-hip-hop lineup in the second. It's the first all-rap hour in about 5 years, I'd estimate.
