Jazzie B on Kiss FM (1997)

Jazzie B of Soul II Soul fame on London's Kiss FM back in July 1997. This is the first 40 minutes of his 'Funki Dred Show' and its all ragga over Hip Hop beats: Bounty Killer over 'Hell On Earth', Lady Saw over 'Hypnotize', plus tracks by Frisco Kid and Sleepy Wonder amongst others...



I'm still without a tape deck but I preserved this on CD years ago as for a long time it was the only place I had all these tracks. Jazzie rarely used to mention track names and it was only by taking an educated gamble on certain 12"s (usually white labels) over the years that I've managed to get hold of most of them. Anyway, this was probably one of my favourite and most played tapes so go get that.

Jazzie B - Kiss FM (1997)
















I used to love Jazzie B's Monday night show on Kiss back in the day as he was one of the few people that would play alot of the ragga/hip hop remixes that were around at the time, aswell as some Hip Hop and R&B that you might not hear on other shows.
Here's 30 minutes of a show from December 1997 kicking off with a wicked Hip Hop/Dancehall medley and followed by music from Sleepy Wonder, Pudgee, KRS One, Born Jamericans and a few more.



Although Jazzie tended not to give any much info on the songs he played, over the years I eventually found alot of the 12"s I heard on his show on various white labels and bootlegs, and on Bobby Konders' Massive B label.
