Friday Night Raw



As you will see below, I have neglected this page in recent weeks due to various personal reasons. However, I haven't abandoned it altogether and I will start posting on a regular basis again after this. In future, each new post will have two shows' recordings; 'Friday Night Raw' (more on this in a minute) & 'Spy @ The Control', which is the name of the Saturday night show - 0/10 for originality, but I had to call it something...


Anyway, Friday Night Raw is my new Hip Hop (& stuff) show and is, as far as I know, the only uncensored Hip Hop show on UK legal radio. It goes out live 00:00-03:00 GMT/BST (so technically it's really Saturday morning) and will contain a section called the 'Beat Shop'. Beat Shop is where I feature 30-60 seconds snippets of beats/instrumentals from up and coming (or established actually, it makes no difference to me) composers and producers that are for 'sale' to rappers, singers or even other producers (in the traditional sense of the word).

To that end, if you are one such composer/producer, please feel free to send your snippets to spy_da_man@msn.com. Remember, I don't need the whole beat, and you can watermark (tag) them in any way that you see fit in order to protect your intelectual property. Bear in mind that I work on a legal station, therefore if your beats contain samples that require clearance, it's you that gets it in the neck if you fail to do so.


That's pretty much it for this week. Next week, I'll go back to throwing the spotlight on artists featured in the show(s), but in the meantime please find below the recordings of all the shows, including the first Friday Night Raw, that occurred since my last post. I hope you enjoy listening to them.
