    You asked for a review in your last show. And I just figured out how to do it. So... here’s your review. Not a friend or a family member. These guys consistently bring great new music. Used to be a staple of my Friday’s but now I’m Living I’m Ontario, married and a father so I’ve grown with you but also have to listen on podcast now. Keep up the great work guys. Love listening to Dirty Needles.

  • Raw, Rap, Radio

    This radio show has through and through been a weekly update on everything hip hop. Excellent music, mixed in with (not too many) updates on underground and mainstream figures. Often a fine place to source new music and classic bangers from a wide range of sub genres. Thank you hosts!
