I want to thank DJ Tony Tone from Street Glory on Hot 97, which airs on Sunday Mornings at 7am est, for coming on my show Sports and Hip-Hop with DJ Mad Max on WSJU Radio at St. John's University last night! He talked about becoming a DJ and knowing his why at the age of 12. He is passionate about Christian Hip-Hop music and he started spinning it at a young age! He described his journey to Hot 97, getting his own show on the station, and becoming a Heavy Hitter! We discussed his interviews with DJ Scratch, his pastor A.R. Bernard, and DeVon Franklin. Go checkout those interviews and much more on Tony Tone's YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/user/djtonytoneBKS. Shoutout to Loko Warbucks for coming on the show and spitting a fire freestyle over EPMD's Headbanger! We also talked sports!

I want to thank the legend DJ Chuck Chillout for calling into my show last night on WSJU Radio at St. John's University. He told me about the first time he saw a set of turntables, in which he wanted to become a DJ. He received his first set of turntables for his birthday and his dream of becoming a DJ came true. He told me how he got his name as well as collaborating with Kool Chip for their classic album "Masters of the Rhythm" that released in 1989. He talked about his journey to becoming an on air DJ in 1982 on 98.7 Kiss FM. He loved DJing overseas in Japan and having a radio show over there as well. He loved it so much that he almost didn't come back. He was one of the first DJs to play Hip-Hop music in Japan and the people loved it. He named his favorite artists from back in the day as well as some of the artists he likes today. Chuck Chillout keeps it real and has no time for 'Space Music', in which he gave that name to the mainstream Hip-Hop today. He told a hilarious story about Desiigner when he saw him in the hallway at WBLS. Thanks again for calling in and giving me the positive advice! Most of all don't forget to lock into DJ Chuck Chillout's show on Saturday nights from 11:00pm to 12:00am est on WBLS! https://maxrcoughlan.com/sports-and-hip-hop.html

I want to thank Hip-Hop legend Rampage for calling into my show last night on WSJU Radio at St. John's University. He mentioned many rappers who influenced him including Special Ed and Chubb Rock. Growing up in Flatbush Brooklyn, NY he lived around many of these rappers. Busta Rhymes is his first cousin and they are in the same group known as the Flipmode Squad. He talked about signing his first deal and being on the greatest Hip-Hop remix of all time, which is Craig Mack's Flava In Ya Ear Remix. He discussed his friendships with Craig Mack and The Notorious B.I.G. aka Biggie Smalls. He has another song with Craig Mack that they recently had recorded before Craig Mack sadly, passed away. We talked about his classic first album Scout's Honor... by Way of Blood and the hit song off of the album Wild for da Night. One of the greatest parts about this interview was that Rampage was freestyling at times! He started the hashtag/term for Hip-Hop today and that is mumble rap. He has kept it real from day one and tells it like it is. He made his music the way he wanted to and I have always loved the grittiness in his music. He has a lot going on: he is going to be in an upcoming movie, he is creating a cartoon, he has his own headphone brand, he has his own sports and Hip-Hop show on NBC, and he is a DJ. Be on the lookout because he has a vault of tracks recorded and he will be dropping a new album soon called When Hell Freezes Over! Thanks again Rampage for calling into my show last night, I had a great time!
