KMIH-FM

X 104 is the best hip hop radio station in Seattle. Thank god I never really drive too far so I’m usually able to get a good signal. They play all the cuts, not just the 8 songs that are on their hot rotation list. If I have to listen to any more of the idiocy that is kube 93, I’m gonna lose it.

I was in Seattle last weekend was cruising around in a car on a friday evening and this radio station happened to be on. I think it was a «mixtape» show or something like that, but wow… Big ups to the DJ who put a Pharoah Monch track in the mix… The track was called «Desire»… Anyway I’ll bow down to any DJ who can mix in underground hip-​hop joints like that one along with mainstream stuff. They got online streaming too so I don’t even have to be in Seattle to listen to a good mix. Now if I could only find a lounge or club that has a DJ that can mix like this… X104FM

The best hip-​hop station in Seattle (104.5FM), broadcasting from exactly where you’d expect: the richest, whitest suburb around. The best part is that these guys can’t afford DJs and can’t get sponsors to buy commercials; it all adds up to less stupid talking, damn near no ads, and plenty of good tracks. Too bad their signal is so weak that I can’t pick it up in my apartment, but at least they stream online:
