Rap Radio Flashbacks

Here is a nice rap radio rarity from 1987 off the legendary Hank Love & DNA radio show on WNWK New York. This is only a 20 minute segment, but gives a nice glimpse into the glory days of rap radio. The segment includes tracks from Grandmaster Caz, Salt N' Pepa and underground icons The Ultimate Choice. Don't sleep!
