It’ll be a damn shame if this radio show gets the Fat Beats treatment…
Dear Listeners
As of Oct 7, 2010 I’ve been informed by Columbia University that after 20 years our beloved radio show will come to an end. In Oct of 1990 two friends Stretch Armstrong and Bobbito Garcia started a radio show that revolutionized how we look at Hip Hop programing. 8 years later, after Stretch left the show, Bobbito continued with Lord Sear what was known then as the CM Famalam radio Program. 2 years after that I joined the show until Bobbito and Lord Sear’s retirement in 2003. From that point on the Squeeze Radio Show has remained a pillar in the Hip Hop community in New York City and has been named the best radio show in NY by Time Out Magazine.
In the past the program introduced NY and the world to Wu-Tang, Nas, Jay-Z, Big L, Fat Joe and more. Since 2003 The Squeeze Radio show has introduced NY and many listeners in the world to Kanye West, Consequence, Lupe Fiasco, Blu, Roc Marciano, Torae, Tanya Morgan and more.
I ask for your help. Lets show C.U. that this show is important to not just to us but to the community in general. If you are an artist that’s been in the show, a listener, a Hip Hop fan or just someone that’s tired of how we are being pushed around and shut down let your voice be heard. Sign the petition, write an email to WKCR get your friends to join you and us.
We are running out of time. As of now we have one show left this thursday night and I believe and hope that with your help we can make sure that that is not the case.
PETITION: Save the Squeeze Radio Show

Best radio show of NYC. Helped get guys like Nas, Jay-Z, Wu Tang, Talib Kweli etc. They even helped Biggie’s success an awful lot.
And even contributed in helping MF Doom and Cage get off their feet.
Can somebody tell me where I can get that shirt? It got the Taino Sun on graffiti on it! Cant get more Puerto Rican than that…well i can if you put Albizus on it LOL
Just about anybody who was somebody in the 90s get their first real exposure on 89tek9. This show being gone and nobody caring is a symbol of how fucked up hip hop is.
Glad to see 2DBz up on this shit too!
honestly… i’ve never heard of it. but i’m sure many ppl have and they care about it so i signed it

I actually got my track played on there a couple years ago. Shoutout to them and keep that show alive for the underdogs.
I hope this petition works. NYC is running out of Hip Hop institutions.. It’s a damn shame.
@ El Gallo, I believe that shirt is the logo for Sucio’s Highwater Music record label.
I heard and signed this petition earlier last week. It’s just more sad news.
@LEX you are right, that is the logo for High Water Music.
