Hey
Talking about Detroit hip-hop and rap, I asked about them previously but
didn't get any response so I'll try again.
Detroit Boxx and Step 2? I picked up "Faith, Wisdom, and Knowledge" and I
was wondering what they went on to do after that and also how popular they
were in Detroit.

I always did wonder why The Wizard's show stopped coming on. Mojo found
another home, but Jeff's show was the real loss to me. After his show
ended,
Techno and House started to fade from Detroit's airwaves (except for
mix-shows on the weekend) . Hell, when 107.5 switched to a "classic"
Mowtown
type of sound, local Rap acts lost out big time (Anyone remember hearing J
to Tha D, Smiley, Poppa J. Smoove, or Detroit's Most Wanted on that
station?). Corporate entities like Clear Channel and Radio 1 will help spur
the growth of pirate radio that will play what the people want to hear...
Not Jay Z 20 times a day.
The future passed you by.
