Day 1 Radio

At Day 1 Radio we believe in telling stories that haven't been told before or haven't been told the right way. DJ Shawty Slim (tour DJ for B.o.B) and Floco Torres fit that bill on both sides. The DJ/producer and MC are somewhat quietly making some of the best hip-hop out there right now. We dug deep into their history and got into the music they've been making, plus a few other hot topics. Listen up, you definitely won't be disappointed and when you're done, go and download/stream Floco's "Again" and "Porsche" projects (FYI, he has 20 other projects!). As always, subscribe and rate.
