Billboard Summer Beats

After batting with Blogger B.Dot from Rap Radar on Hot 97 last week, the radio station’s programmer director Ebro Darden, stopped by Combat Jack‘s show.

The Major Leagues vs the Minor Leagues. Program Director of New York’s famed radio station Hot 97 Ebro Darden comes on the Combat Jack Show after a heated Twitter exchange with CJ to discuss the current state of radio, wtf is up with its playlist, why certain records don’t get air play during primetime, why records by Trinidad James get love over New York City artists, what’s really going on with Hip Hop culture and an apology to Sean Price. #OccupyHot97 indeed.

Fam, it’s Marsha Ambrosius. You shouldn’t even be reading this.
