Classic Storm Radio: live radio from United States

Hooold...

Dusting off the needle…

Classic Storm Radio

The guests do the talking.

Underground rap and classic albums, at length.

Classic Storm Radio is DJ Toshi's show on RadioHipHop.com, the independent hip hop station that has been broadcasting from the same domain since 2000 and has never belonged to anybody else. Two hundred and fifty episodes in, Toshi has built the kind of guest list that only comes to a host who has been around long enough to call in a few favours: Lil' Fame of M.O.P., Grand Daddy IU, C-Rayz Walz and Ruste Juxx have all sat in over the years, and they talk at least as much as they get to spin.

The format is underground hip hop and classic albums played at length, closer to a listening session than a mix, with the interviews folded into the show rather than trailed as events in their own right. Five episodes rotate at a time, around fifty minutes each, running in sequence around the clock. It is the one channel of the three that streams at a lower bitrate.
