Stretch And Bobbito On Housing Early Hip-Hop Radio, Nas, Wu-Tang & Their Latest Project
– Breakfast Club Power 105.1 FM
They knew the big names BEFORE they got big; because they big-upped them when they were unsigned! YES!
But see. It gets deeper. We should be supporting College, Community, and Indie radio right now! For real, for the REAL! I always have. MY people are there. I bet you can find YOUR people there, too #HitMyInbox #LetMeHipYouToSomeRealRadio #ExcuseMe #HistoryMakingRadio

Stretch And Bobbito: Radio That Changed Lives (Trailer)
October 6, 2015
Well, the Kickstarter Fundraising Campaign obviously went well. And now (drum roll), click play above for the trailer for “Stretch And Bobbito: Radio That Changed Lives.”
During the 1990s, Stretch and Bobbito introduced the world to an unsigned Nas, Biggie, Wu-Tang, and Big Pun as well as an unknown Jay-Z, Eminem, and The Fugees. The total record sales for all the artists that premiered on their radio show exceed 300 million. The late night program had a cult following in the art/fashion world and prison population as well. All would loyally tune in for the humor just as much for the exclusive tunes. Stretch and Bobbito brought a unique audience together, and created a platform that changed music forever.
The movie will be available via Vimeo On Demand on October 22, 2015. Hit the link to pre-order.
The Kickstarter Fundraising Campaign For ‘Stretch And Bobbito: Radio That Changed Lives’ Is Going On Now (Video)
September 9, 2015
A chance to contribute to the film that documents the contribution of two Hip-Hop radio icons. Man, Scarface was just talking about Stretch & Bobbito during that last radio interview we just posted here. Talk about full circle!
Peace! Stretch and Bobbito here, 25 years after our first WKCR broadcast. We’re amped to share the history of our landmark show in a feature length documentary titled STRETCH AND BOBBITO: RADIO THAT CHANGED LIVES (www.stretchandbobbito.com). The film, produced by Omar Acosta, was co-produced by us with Kool Bob Love directing and Stretchy music supervising. A classic combo, yo!
The documentary film is all but a reality, having surpassed its fundraising goal. But we linked the Kickstarter… still got a few days to kick in on it. The film is due out October 2015.
(Whew! Do you see all the folks that fell through the show back then??? History!)
