WBAI Hip Hop Takeover: 12 Hours of Hip Hop Radio Starts Today at Noon

WBAI-NY (99.5FM), an iconic station for underground hip hop in New York City, will be under a “Hip Hop Takeover” from Noon until Midnight on July 10, 2010. The 12-hour, commercial-free marathon of hip hop and hip hop-related programming, a yearly event, will be broken up into hourly segments, featuring some of NYC’s finest underground air personalities, DJs, music and mixes.

You know the Smoke-Out Day thing they do? When smokers are supposed to boycott their cigarettes for a day? Well, we suggest NYC hip hop heads do the same, spend a day away from 97.1 and 105.1 and park it on 99.5.

The Takeover starts off with TastyKeish, host of WBAI’s Rise Up Radio, and features the accomplished DJ Chela on the wheels. The full schedule can be viewed online at WBAI.org, but you can see the basics below:
