The one thing people don’t understand is that I was going on these radio stations totally new to the game. I had to learn on the fly because I was thrusted into the scene because of my demo. I had to learn how to conduct myself and how to work live radio. Salute to Stretch and Bobbito for letting Mista Sinista bring me up to represent." - Kukoo Da Baga Bonez
To celebrate the upcoming anniversary and events of "Realms N Realty", revisit a classic episode of the Stretch Armstrong and Bobbito Show featuring Cella Dwellas and Lord Digga.

The ripper, the master, the overlordian L.L. Cool J takes 'em to war while Bill Ill of Ill and Al Skratch get even more raw and aggressive on '93 demos, a couple of the many Hip Hop gems debuted on the airwaves by The Stretch Armstrong and Bobbito show. Thanks to PaulPawlPall for the uploads.
Getcha jaw broke like Razor Rudduck when in the midst of the dangerous rhyme flow from New York's own MF Grimm! This clip from one of my tapes recorded back in '93 was always one of my favorites of the many rare demos which Stretch and Bobbito broke and changed lives with on WKCR FM. Listen as Grimm destroys the mic over a fast-paced Jazz track plus a couple of his best freestyles from the KCR years.
Enjoy a mix of comedy, history and cool facts as the one and only trio of Stretch, Bob & Lord Sear reunite in 2016 to share their memories of The Stretch Armstrong & Bobbito show with two great fans of the show, Sam & Cathy. While on their promo tour for "Radio That Changed Lives" the movie, the three Hip Hop radio legends seem more appreciative then ever about their legacy as they recall golden moments of Hip Hop from an underground radio show which grew to influence media, society and music worldwide.

"Stretch mixes some old and new joints on here, and does some interesting blends. Featured guests include Kazo from Zhigge along with Fruitkwan from Stesasonic. Tape 2 has Timbo King & Spark 950, who later became Royal Fam. Late in the show, Bobbito pulls out 4 demos for a 'demo battle.' The tape runs out before the callers vote on a winner, but there's damn near the full 4 hour show on this one. Peace to the philaflav heads for taking the time to make out the track list. "
