All my Bed Stuy residents know what I speak of. Liquid Love, one of the many classic watering holes in the area.

Bed Stuy production duo The Stuyvesants recently immortalized this institution on a song off their recent compilation/paean to our beloved neighborhood you can download FOR FREE .

MC/DJ/Producer Melo-X has teamed up with a newcomer, Chris Turner and flipped this instrumental into a sexy jazzy tune that will now play repeatedly on my speakers for quite a while.

Ladies and Gentlemen: Liquid Love

If you love it as much as I do, you’ll download, spread the word, and keep an eye out for all of these talented guys. You can catch The Stuyvesants at a CMJ showcase tomorrow night, and Melo-X is doing a few shows this week as well.

Just when I was mentioning the impact underground hip hop radio shows has had on my entire life (not just DJ-wise), I hear the disturbing news that WKCR, Columbia University’s radio station, is trying to end Squeeze Radio.

This cannot happen.  This show is an hip hop institution and consistently presents talented emerging artists in hip hop where other radio stations have failed. It is fun, fresh, entertaining, and informative and has remained consistent for 20 years. I owe nothing but gobs of gratitude to Stretch, Bob, and Sucio Smash(who couldn’t have been a better successor for the show) for shaping me into the music lover I am.  This show has lasted for GENERATIONS now and should continue.

If you feel as strongly as I do, please sign this petition and encourage others to do the same.
