Summary: This fantastic episode was recorded using the wonderful facilities at beloved free form radio station WFMU (91.1FM)in Jersey City, NJ, where our special guest Billyjam has held a long run show 'Put The Needle on The Record' for years. Yet Billy, a native of Dublin, Ireland, has a history in radio running rather deep and in our talk we uncovered his origin-story getting his start in radio in Berkeley, Calif in the early 80's. Working his way around various stations and eventually becoming a pivotal figure-piece on the Pirate Radio scene. Many folks know Billy for his work with a wide swath of Bay Area rap/hip-hop artists - from Mac Dre, Master P, E-40, RBL Posse, Andre Nickatina and many more - along with playing an influential roll in pushing performance DJ-culture to new heights with his famed HipHopSlam series, affiliations with Bomb Records, and more. Ok - now just listen to this great conversation with Billyjam - especially because we're both on our own mic's!! If you dig this - please subscribe & comment!
