THE UK HIP HOP SHOW with Sinista – Friday 15th January 2016
Happy new year to every one out there. We hope you have had a good holiday period and are ready for some more UK Hip Hop. Sadly we start the year on a sombre note, after hearing the news of Mark B’s death. Mark, B was one of the most well respected producers this country has ever produced, and released classic albums with the likes of Task Force and Blade. Tributes have been pouring in from artists and fans alike from all over the world and this months show is dedicated to Mark B. Our thoughts are with Mark’s family and friends.
There is also music from the likes of Chester P and many many more as we feature his Real Talk Compilation as Album Of The Month. All proceeds from this album are going towards helping the homeless.
Rest In Peace and thank you Mark B.
