It’s been long in the making but Rizoh’s Radio 30 is finally here. And yes, it’s 30 songs deep. I named it Savage Bounce because there’s plenty of contrast on this mix.

It builds up slowly with some commentary on the state of hip-hop and society, and then evolves into a block party. That pretty much sums up the two sides of our story. Today’s society is rife with figurative savages, be it ferocious world leaders or barbaric corporate head honchos who continue to enrich themselves at the expense of the not-so-privileged.

The “Bounce” aspect represents our reaction to those societal ills. Amidst soaring gas prices and economic crises, we somehow manage to dance away our troubles. Thus the title, Savage Bounce.

One more thing, I’m aware that Q-Tip’s “Getting Up” appears twice on this mix. No, Q-Tip didn’t put a gun to my head and force me to impose his new single on you. Turns out he created an extended version in addition to the main version for the purpose of inciting a remix craze. So, if you’re an aspiring MC, Tip wants you to hop on “the end where the beat and bass are NAKED!! Take that sh*t and get busy!!” His words, not mine.

Enough talking already. Go ahead and grab it while you can. Feedback, suggestions, and fridge-throwing are always welcome.
