The Urban Renewal Project February 19/08
CFRO (Co-op Radio) 102.7fm 10pm-12am

Last night out only did we play more then 40 brand new banging tracks, but we interviewed two upcoming artists in this hip-hop game.

Firstly, we had Gencade join us from Spanish Harlem. One of our listeners original submitted us Gencade’s “Closer” track a couple months back and it created a buzz on our podcast page, so we had to get the homie to join us to talk about his upcoming album and the come-up of his fam, Starfam Music.

We also had the Representatives, Touch and Nato, join us to update us on the status of their debut release “Intelligent Design”. These cats from Edmonton are making moves and their hip-hop talents are being recognized by DJs and fans a like from across the border. In addition, there video for “Adult’s Story”, a clever/hilarious play on those Maury Povich paternity test shows, is on it’s way to being a YouTube classic and can be peeped on their myspace.

Featured a double shot from Boston’s finest, Akrobatik’s brand new album “Absolute Value” available now everywhere on Fat Beats records. For more Akrobatik check out our interview with him on last week’s radio show.
