Check me out on New Jersey Radio's WFMU 91.1 this Friday between 7-10.pm my time.
The show is going to be broadcast from from Ireland on Billy Jam's "Put The Needle On The Record" Show from Viva Recording Studios on O'Connell Street.

This is the 2nd Live Broadcast from Ireland, In December Billy broadcasted from the legendary All City Store in Dublin.

I'll be there dropping a few mean bars and checking out all the other acts and turntablists

I love limerick - Shout to Andy Lee who won his fight at the weekend too by the way.

Shout out to Billy Jam

Billy Jam:

"I'm not old. I'm old school," insists Irish immigrant Billy Jam who fell in love with hiphop back in the late seventies when he first got to New York. Since then, he has dedicated himself to supporting the art form of hip hop through various forms of media.
"I look at media, be it print, radio, Internet, television, or whatever as all the same thing: just another way to get your message across," says Jam who started as a radio DJ in 1984 on KALX, Berkeley, CA. In 1987 he added journalism to his media assault, with publications including: The Source, BOMB, Vibe, XXL, CMJ, No Joke, Stealth, Rap Pages, San Francisco Chronicle, SF Weekly, and The SF Bay Guardian.
In 1998, he began producing music with an emphasis on DJ/turntablist music and founded the HiphopSlam label and website. Currently living in New Jersey, the part-time journalist hosts the hugely popular 'Put The Needle On The Record' weekly show on the world-reknowed WFMU radio station and performs and records with the turntablist ensemble Djs of Mass Destruction. He was also featured in Doug Pray's highly acclaimed documentary Scratch (2001).
