I want to thank Bobby J From Rockaway for coming on my show today on WSJU Radio at St. John's University! He represents the real Hip-Hop and has bars for days. He discussed growing up and being exposed to all types of music by his family members. His brother was the one who got him into Hip-Hop.

Cole stories and was best friends with Bas in high school. He has many fire songs out now on all music platforms including: Let Me Breathe, Walter White, The Return, and Hometown.

Beenofficial on "Sports and Hip-Hop with DJ Mad Max" on WSJU Radio at St. John's University

      I want to thank my brother and the Bronx's own Beenofficial for coming on my show "Sports and Hip-Hop with DJ Mad Max last night on WSJU Radio at St. John's University. He talked about writing his first rap song as well as his favorite artist who inspired him and that is Kool G Rap. He gave his view on Hip-Hop today and believes that lyrical rap will make a comeback, which I believe as well because everything happens in cycles. He has a lot of bangers out on all music platforms that he has recently released including: Downpour, Forever NewSchool, Ay Now, No Shorts, and UKTV. Some of his raps remind me of Onyx member Sticky Fingaz. He also spit a fire freestyle over Rick Ross' Crocodile Python! If you are a true Hip-Hop head who appreciates the lyrics, I highly recommend you check Beenofficial out because he represents the real Hip-Hop! Keep grinding my bro, I believe big things will happen for you!

Legendary DJ Chuck Chillout talks Kool Chip and Masters of the Rhythm on "Sports and Hip-Hop with DJ Mad Max" on WSJU Radio at St. John's University

     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
