The real hip hop is ova' here.

We all know 95% of Montreal radio gets the bozack. Some mathematicians have even speculated that 97.2 % is a more accurate figure.

While Astral Media-owned stations and the like continue to find ways to play Black Eyed Peas and Akon while completely ignoring the rest of the culture they jack, Concordia radio has the freedom to play hip hop without regard for what your little sister likes.

So, in schedule order from Sunday to Saturday, here's the run-down of rap music at CJLO.

Eclectricity*
North Of The Border
The Reign
Let The Rhythm Hit 'Em*
Underground Spiritual
What's Really Good? Radio
12" Satisfaction*
Phantastiq Cypha*
The Limelight*

*100-hundred-percent Bombsheltah approved. Listening pending for the others.

I haven't heard all these shows, but check their playlists to see if they're for you. For that matter, get your head outta wherever you keep it and listen to something other than hip hop for a change. There's tons of dope shows, like this one. It's hosted by a pretty girl and even though it's listed as a rock show shorty just played ODB. This station is whassup.
