KC’s Bridge Launches Hip-Hop Show
• Listener-supported non-comm music discovery station KTBG (90.9 the Bridge)/Kansas City, which this year celebrates its 20th anniversary, proudly premieres a new show that elevates voices in the local, national and international Hip-Hop music scene.
Hosted by KC creatives Khrystal. and Bobbeh C., GO DJ! airs Saturday nights from 10pm to midnight, starting April 3. GO DJ! will touch on important topics from the Hip-Hop community while providing listeners with music selections that popular radio won’t play. “90.9 The Bridge is excited to welcome Khrystal. and Bobbeh C. to the family,” said Bryan Truta, Sr. Director of Radio Operations at 90.9 The Bridge. “This addition allows us to continue our pledge to offer a platform of music discovery for a broad range of genres and voices. I’m looking forward to the talent and perspective Khrystal. and Bobbeh C. will bring to The Bridge — and audiences should be too.”
“I hope to bring a spotlight to artists who are doing new and creative things with the art of rap and Hip-Hop,” said Khrystal., a multi-discipline artist and a graduate of the University of Missouri-Kansas City. “Hip-hop has always been a way to keep an anthology of the times — there are a lot of artists right now that have some interesting things to say, and I want to give them a platform to speak out.”
Bobbeh C., a.k.a. Robert E. Coppage III leads Tribe University, a beginner’s improv class that promotes public speaking skills, clear decision-making skills, and imagination. He was previously on-air at KCPZ (Praise 95.3). “With Go DJ! I intend to use my voice to empower thoughts and perspectives that aren’t always represented in music,” he said. “We’re here for the love vibes and inspired energy.”
