Show notes

On Episode 189 of Take It Personal Radio, we're taking a brief intermission from our Summertime Series to remind everyone that no matter how far we go into the commercial abyss, especially during these summer sessions, we can easily do a 180 and showcase the beautiful side of the obscurities of the '90s. We've got music from Company Flow, CRU, Organized Konfusion, No I.D., Diamond D, Boogiemonsters, Atmosphere, Del, Casual, Latryx, Royal Flush, Ram Squad, Chubb Rock, Krumb Snatcha and Capone-N-Noreaga. At the break, Dick Knickerbocker returns with a game of Hip-Hop Jeopardy, where you can play along with us, test your knowledge and see if you can hang with the TIP crew. You're listening to Take It Personal Radio—
where hip-hop lives, legends are honored,
and the music always speaks louder than words.

Peace to our listeners worldwide, our Patreon family, and our summer sponsors. We appreciate you all!
