Run-D.M.C., Public Enemy, KRS-One — these are just some of the artists who’ve worked with DJ Ron Nelson, the godfather of hip-hop radio in Toronto. Now, at age 60, Ron is releasing his first rap album. He joins Tom Power for a look back at his journey as a pioneering hip-hop radio host and tells us why now was the right time to put out his first rap album.
