In case you don't know yet, the main reason we named this show Day 1 Radio is because we're always putting you up on new stuff from the first day. Our latest guest, Detroit rapper Lil James, is new to many, but is sure to be known by all, very soon. In addition to having one hell of a story to tell, he is the newest signee to DJ Drama and Don Cannon's Generation Now label. Don't let the name or age (21) fool you, this self-proclaimed old soul is not here to play.
