DJ's Stretch Armstrong & Eli Escobar Play Ultra-Rare Hip Hop on their East Village Radio Show
...the Delancey Music Service.
Both guys started out playing hip hop back in the day but now mostly dabble in house and electronic club music so its rare treat to hear them play not only hip hop, but ultra-rare 80's and 90's hip hop in the form of demos, early material, live cuts and freestyles from the likes of Jay-Z, Souls of Mischief, Big Daddy Kane and Organized Konfusion on their November 9 show. I don't know how rare the first cut they play from the Beastie Boys is but like the drop said, I'd never heard it before and the sh-t was retarded!

Video: "Stretch Armstrong Gots a Story to Tell...."
"Walking back from a shooting in Harlem, we bumped into Stretch Armstrong, right in front of WCKR - that's the station where he started, in 1990, what would later become the "Stretch and Bobbito Show", which many consider the best show ever. The guy NORE used to call "the albino ostrich" recalls a number of great moments and a greater number of (then) unsigned rappers who blazed the show - cats like Jay-Z, Eminem, Big Pun, ODB, Big L, Biggie, and also a 16 y.o kid in shorts named Nasir...."
Shout to Stretch & Bob - the "Stretch & Bobbito show" is the greatest college hip hop radio show of all time. Its been often imitated but never duplicated or topped - believe me when I say that show moved the culture and single-handedly broke records. Before Flex blasted off on records, Stretch was playing them on his show first.

Also TONIGHT in Brooklyn: the PLANT MUSIC loft party
The mission:
"It's well known that arts organizations across the country have been struggling financially. In New York State alone, funding has been drastically cut for NYSCA supported arts organizations.
Which is why UnionDocs is presenting the "We All Benefit Loft Party Series", featuring monthly installments of benefit loft jams with both live performances and DJ's. All proceeds from the parties will go to support the UnionDocs space and the artist residency programs it supports.
The first benefit will feature a lineup of artists from NYC indie dance label Plant Music.
Plant Music's roster includes Tittsworth, Kap10Kurt, The Glass, Loose Shus, Sam Young, Clubfeet, Kasper Bjorke, Dj Wool & more...."

Vintage audio of Freestyles from the 'Stretch & Bobbito' show
The legendary 90's mixshow on WKCR "89-Tech-9" is often called the greatest college hip hop radio show of all time and is a likely inspiration for Pete Rosenberg's Juan Epstein shenanigans with Cipha Sounds.
These dudes had everyone up at their show from pre-record deals Biggie, Wu-Tang to Busta and Pharoahe Monch so check it out here. It'll hold you down until Stretch himself gets his game tight and starts posting again at Konstant Kontact!
