THIS WEEK ON WXYC

This week's 9/17 Thursday Night Feature is Hot! Dope! Fresh! As referenced by the title tonight will feature the hottest, dopest and freshest tracks from underground/indie/unsigned hip hop and R&B artists as well as some known unknown mainstream favorites.

There will be exclusive world wide premieres of new tracks from two very different artists:
TrapSTAR, Greenville, SC native who is signed to Charlamange Tha God's Stupid Dope Moves record label. (www.stupiddopemoves.com)
Royal-Tee, Charlotte, NC native who is signed to indie label Street Dreamaz. (www.myspace.com/crownroyal704)
I have been promised by both labels that the new tracks are exclusives especially for tonight's show and will be the first time they are played on the radio!!

Scheduled Interviews:
L.E.G.A.C.Y.: Affliate of NC's Hall of Justus (formerly The Justus League) and now Baltimore resident. His new album Suicide Music brings memories of the horror-core hip hop of The Gravediggaz. L.E.G.'s recent mixtape NC Chainsaw Massacre is considered by many to be an underground classic.

THIS WEEK ON WXYC

Friends they surround us. They're at parties, on the bus, at lunch, and perhaps most frequently just hanging out. But who are they? What do they want? What is a friend? Hopefully, your friends at the Feedback Farm will be able to find out Wednesday at 9pm.

Then, on Friday night at 9pm on The Inside Track, hear "See Mystery Lights," the new album from indie-dance group Yacht.

Tune into the Backyard Barbecue on WXYC to hear Wendy Spitzer (of Felix Obelix and Lemming Malloy) talk about the Liminal Festival, a genre-bending local music festival from September 24th to the 26th.
