On Blast Radio's Top 10 Videos Of 2011

2011 was a great year for us at On Blast Radio. Vida Starr returned back with her own show. We added a video show on youtube. We also began a partnership with KOPNGO.COM to help along with promotions and the video show. We have a lot of great artist on the show including Phia Lamour, Jimmy Valentime, Otis Clapp, Beejus and Korey Buckets to name a few. Now we shall take a look back at all the videos that help pass the year by here at On Blast Radio




10) Jimmy Valentime "Understand"- I remember when me and Jimmy went to Statik's studio and I picked this beat. Im happy to see this dude do his thing. This was the lead single to his latest project "Life In Amazin' Times" which dropped this Dec.




9) J. Nolan "Round" - J. Nolan is On Blast Radio Family. He had been the most consist and ever improving mc I have ever heard. This video is dope. the visuals are creative and far from your average rap video. Rumble young man Rumble




8) Sav "Shinning" Sav is a hustler and great rapper from Long Island who came on the show and dropped this nice video.





7) Phia La'Mour "Lacookoo" Remix ft The Hoodstarz- Phia is a very beautiful rapper from the Bay Area. This video shows the culture that down there and the song is pretty catchy. But don't be fooled, this woman right here..... SHE CAN RAP.




6) Mr Forbes "Murder Scene"- Mr Forbes dropped an impressive mix tape and this the visual to the title track "Murder Scene" and pretty much proves why the game is his. Shout out to June G.




5) The Doppelgangaz "Like What Like Me" - The Doppelgangaz dropped the ALBUM OF 2011 to me. The beats, the rhymes, the flows, the subject matter, it is indeed SHARK NATION. EP and Matter OV Fact are great duo who bring creative rhymes, dope beats and MUCH NEEDED humor to this sometimes over serious rap game. Anyways, this is the visual for the funny as hell "Like What Like Me" which is tribute to Matter's lack of standards in his women.




4) Fortie Bowie aka Daddy Nino "Weak" Forte Bowie and J.Nolan are from the same hip hop scene in the ATL and I first encountered Fortie when he did a beat for one of J Nolan's first projects. I didn't know he had rhymes as well as sing. This is one of the first single we played on On Blast Radio. The MJ sample is sick at the end. Nice visuals just a great single.




3) ScienZe "W.OM.A.N." ScienZe is a dope artist from Brooklyn and this is one of the beats I wish I made. Dope visuals, nice song and beautiful ladies. Cant go wrong.




2) Beejus "iParty" One of if not, the best party songs Ive heard. Beejus is another Bay Area prospect (they have a nice niche of hip-hop over there) and was a absolute pleasure to interview. His discography is top notch. Not much to say about this video. Just watch it and PARTY! Oh and get a sprite!




1) Ralphy Boy "Peep Game"- Ralphy Boy is my brother. For another. For real. It was a real honor to not only produce 80% of his first project but also to have his first video back in 2010. 2011 rolled in and we did a video for a single produce by my mentor and sometimes co-host Dj Man At Arms "Peep Game" . Shot in BK, it was just a fun experience to share with my brothers in music. Im also in the video also is my Jesus Piece (don't hate). Shout Out to The New Pop Media for shooting this.

And thats it folks. Cant wait to see what videos and fun await us in 2012!!!

SAV will be Put ON BLAST Sept 23rd





Scott Giannotti, also known as Sav, started rapping at the age of 11 after discovering Run DMC’s music. His family, The Giannotti has a history of over 40 years in the music industry and Long Island’s music scene. Sav has been pursuing music as a hobby since he was 12 years old. He started by taking bass guitar lessons, and got into punk and NY hard core music. Although he never got a band together which was functional, Sav decided to become a rapper because he loved to express himself and be in the spotlight. With the encouragement of close friends to pursue rap music, it was only until 2 years ago that he finally decided to live up to pursue music as a career. He spent the first year practicing and networking and developing his sound, which he describes as tonally versatile, dynamic, and emotionally driven. Within that same year, Sav had the opportunity to open for EPMD at the infamous Knitting Factory in NYC.
Among his musical influences, Sav lists BIG, Tupac, Rick Ross, Gang Starr, Red Man, Wu Tang Clan, Lil Wayne, Drake, Nicki Minaj, 50Cent, Busta Rhymes, Jimi Hendrix, and Black Sabbath.
When asked what his mission is, Sav replied: “To be the next distinct voice and public figure in hip-hop. My goal is to further the diversity and evolution of the culture, creating increased prosperity by generating a new sound, approach, and by being opportunistic. I feel that I am coming from a unique place with a real story that has endless chapters that are both relatable and dance worthy. I intend to use my background in the streets and academics to forge the right relationships and build my fan base one project at a time.”

Check out Sav LIVE on the air with us Sept 23rd.

Not identifying herself with any one “type”, she explores the world that exists within. Painting is her place of nirvana. Her fusing of colors, culture, and attention to detail make her artwork abstract, surreal, animated, and transmutational. Her style is that of expression and growth.

5 Ways to Eat Healthy on a Budget


The following tips were provided to us by Food Heaven Made Easy With Wendy and Jess on 8/25/11 live on the air. CLICK HERE to listen/download the podcast.


5 Ways to Eat Healthy on a Budget

1. Shop for seasonal & local produce:
When you buy fruits and vegetables that are in season and local, they are way cheaper because they're growing in their natural environment and it doesn't take extra money and fuel power to bring them to your neighborhood. You can always find these eats at your local farmers market. You can also find lists of foods that are in season in your city/town/state online at localharvest.org.

2. Buy healthy bulk staples for the home:
Buy your basics by the bulk! Foods like brown rice, dry or canned beans, and oils last a long time and when you buy them in bulk or in large sizes you save a lot of cash.

3. Make a healthy shopping list before you shop:
When you make a shopping list, you're more likely to stick to it and not wander off into the frozen food or candy section. You also save money by not buying unnecessary foods!

4. Make meals from whole foods as opposed to processed foods:
Some think that it's really expensive to eat healthy, but if you stick to basic whole foods that are already healthy, you'll be straight. Instead of spending $5 on a frozen dinner, buy some spinach, plantains, avocado, and a whole wheat baguette and you're good to go! And your body will love you endlessly!

5. Cook your meals for the week:
We always complain about the money and time being barriers to making healthy foods. A helpful tip is to pick 1 or 2 days in which you make food that will last you through the week. You can make some of these foods really basic, so that you can spice them up in a 1-2-3. A perfect example is brown rice- one day you can choose to make a brown rice & broccoli stir fry, and another day you can throw some beans on that brown rice and have a totally different meal.

Dawn Gun will be put ON BLAST 7/14/11 8pm PST/11pm EST


Dawn Gun, AKA Dawn Maldonado, is a hard working, single mother originally from Harlem N.Y.C, but has been a resident of Southern Cali since a teen. Constantly traveling back & forth, she’s had a bi-coastal up bringing that exposed her to the best of both worlds. Growing up, Dawn Gun was always surrounded with creative arts & music. At a very young age Dawn began to write poetry, which in time took the form of song lyrics. Dawn was very much influenced by classic hip hop, & credits it as her foundation & inspiration to become a rapper. Dawn actually began rhyming & recording under the moniker Mis.Led! & can be found on various projects credited as such. Her then stage name was very befitting as her youthful & innocent appearance often misled those who doubted her superior skills as an Emcee. She has since moved forward as Dawn Gun, as her style has evolved & matured quite a bit from her days as a fresh-faced MC to a gritty & well-versed self-proclaimed Str8 Shooter.

Creative expression has always been Dawn Gun’s passion, & is reflected in her music, which can be found on various soundtracks, mix tapes & compilations. In 2007, Dawn Gun, as Mis.Led!, released her debut mix tape, “Revenge of the Doorknockers” hosted by DJ JiJi Sweet; the title being a throwback to her hip hop roots, which can be downloaded at www.datpiff.com.

Today Dawn Gun is still pushing toward her dream & she is taking all the right steps. She has been in rotation on SwurvRadio.com, Music Choice TV & Sirius Satellite Radio. She performs live from coast to coast & has also traveled with the P.A.C.E. program, to various schools to promote academics through creative expression.

Dawn Gun now has an international digital downloading deal through XL Productions, of No Limit fame, & has dropped the official singles, “Hateful Girls”, “Everywhere”, “Untouchable” & “Typical”, which can be found via digital downloading stores (i.e. iTunes), internationally.

Dawn Gun also inked an album deal with indie label Get It Done Records & will be releasing her first full length LP in 2010.

Phia La'mour Will Be Put On Blast 7/7/2011



“I’m not a female rapper. I am a female that can rap.”
Her name is Phia La’Mour. Some call her the Rap Raiderette, being from The Bay where the NFL Raiders football team is known for their tough play – just like Phia. Those who are close to her call her LaCooKoo, a term of endearment her father would say to her any time she would perform as a child.
"My father was my biggest supporter. When he died in 2003, I stopped doing music all together." It was not until 2008 when Phia La’Mour started to write again. The five year break allowed Phia to revive her love of music and begin to write about what was important to her. Unlike many female rappers and artists, Phia La’Mour creatively composes her work to reach both men and women. She writes her music based off of real life experiences; not just sex appeal and money.
To get back into the music industry, Phia created a MySpace account with the goal of getting her music heard and the opportunity to network and collaborate with artists. “I think without online networking, no one would even know me,” Phia explains. Through her drive and passion for making herself known, she did not stop at MySpace. She created a Twitter account (@phialamour). Her Twitter account not only allowed her to post music and speak with her followers, which she still does today; but it is where she met her manager/producer, JK (@TheBeatStillJK and @bayboymusic). “At first he sent me some beats and we started working. Now he is my manager,” Phia states. Social networking has also allowed Phia to build brand and has motivated her to build her catalog.
Phia has been seen on stages across the United States in 2011 and has no desire to slow down - - releasing her mixed tape in Fall 2011. Recent shows in California, Florida and Alabama are creating a large hype (See below for show detail). Her talent in her music and her performances on stage has drawn fans from all over the world. “I want to be known as someone who can ‘put the west on’ in my music and in features in the music of others.” Phia Lamour says about her work and collaborations with artist worldwide.
The diverse music of Phia La’Mour ranges from club songs like “Play Dat LaCooKoo” and "Go Go Gadget" featuring Bay Area favorites The HoodStarz, Willie Joe, Mistah Fab, and Philthy Rich; to the more heartfelt tracks such as “Around The World” featuring International Grammy award winning artist U$O of Demark. The diversity in her music attracts a large audience. An audience that is always on their toes, not knowing what she will create next – but knowing it will be an exclusive hit.
------------------- Phia La’Mour was born on December 10, 1984 in East Palo Alto, California where she lived until the seventh grade. It was not until after moving to Vallejo, California where she started singing in the school choir. This is when she found a love for music and writing poetry. The love of singing, music and writing quickly led her to a passion of rap and hip-hop. She was the performer in the family, always singing and rapping at family gatherings, talent shows and on cruise ships. It is easy to say, her childhood has helped form Phia to what she is today, “not just a female rapper.”

J Martyr will be PUT ON BLAST 6/27/11



​In 1985 J Martyr was born and raised in Sturgis Kentucky. At age 16 he recorded his first song but never made it public. After high school J Martyr decided to attend Western Kentucky University to obtain a bachelors in psychology, sociology, and a minor in criminology. While there, he got into a graduate school sociology program and attended for one semester. He then dropped out of graduate school to pursue his dream to be one of the greatest artists ever and to obtain a Grammy.
​There is no one in the game that is even remotely close to J Martyr’s style. But if one had to sum his style up then they would say he has the flow of Lil’ Wayne, the catchy style of Gucci Mane, the adlibs of Young Jeezy, the swagger of Juelz Santana, then sprinkle thousands of Lupe Fiascos on top of this incredible masterpiece. J Martyr will reach the masses with his music, he has the ability to reach very young children and older adults, he can attract a wide ranged audience. What separates J Martyr from other rappers is his unique flow and wordplay, he is very melodic and can be understood by anyone, this makes him very marketable. Also, J Martyr has a very funny personality and that can be heard throughout his music, all the fun he is having and his love for music can be witnessed in his work.
​J Martyr has an incredible work ethic, he works very hard and gives his all. He has a great ability to create catchy hooks and bars which will capture listeners. He is ahead of his time and has a great understanding of the world, which is a result of his education. Another skill J Martyr possesses is his understanding of what it takes to make good music and good songs, the way he has analyzed music of every genre and used it to make his music better can also been seen.
​Currently J Martyr is performing in college venues in Kentucky, making a name for himself in Tennessee, Cincinnati, and expanding in Jacksonville Florida & eventually nationwide & internationally. With major digital distribution with industry giant THE ORCHARD, CKE/UNIVERSAL MUSIC GROUP, & promotion by premier marketing firm INDIEPOWER.com , J.MARTYR is on his way!
He truly is what happens when college meets the streets!!

Known to radio listeners as MC Marcus Chapman, the author of the explosive tell-all book "Sex Time And Radio: The Raw Uncut Story of an On-Air Personality and the Decline of the Radio Industry" was born and raised on Chicago's south east side. He began his radio career in 1992 at WKDI in DeKalb, Illinois while attending Northern Illinois University. Upon graduating in 1995 with a Bachelors of Arts Degree and a minor in Black Studies, Chapman became the youngest employee at Chicago's #1 radio station at that time, WGCI. After serving time as a studio assistant and show producer, he joined the staff of on-air personalities in 1996; a staff that produced nationally renowned alumni like Tom Joyner, Doug Banks, Steve Harvey, and BET voiceover talent Rick Party. Marcus also worked alongside such Chicago radio talents as First Lady, Ramonski Luv, Dr. Luv, Jeanne Sparrow, Sam Sylk, and the Bad Boyz. In 1997 Chapman began building a significant following through his Friday night/Saturday morning show called "The Afterset", and made himself memorable to listeners by using the sound bite of legendary actress Eartha Kitt saying "Marcus darling" from the Eddie Murphy film Boomerang.

Daddy Nino will be PUT ON BLAST 3/21/11




Denzel “Daddy Nino” Ayuk was born in Atlanta, GA on 8/20/1990. Parents are from Cameroon, a country on the West side of Africa. He developed a strong passion for music at a very young age. None of his family members have a background in music, but Nino always found himself in front of a radio or television. He trained his diversified ear at a young age as well, studying artist such as Michael Jackson, Phil Collins, Prince, Nas, New Edition, Hall & Oates, Sade, OutKast, Bon Jovi and much more. By the age of 9, his room was full of notebooks that contained original material written by him. All through elementary and middle school he participated in county plays and musicals portraying his acting as well as his singing.
In high school he was introduced to the Fruity Loops software, a program he mastered the first night he installed it. He made beats for fellow students and recorded novelty songs about his teachers for fun. As his production advanced, so did his rapping and songwriting skills. After his senior year, Nino had no intentions of going to school, but with strict foreign parents on his back, he did anyway. Instead of going to class, he stayed in his dorm recording songs on his new mic and playing them for his fellow students. Nino started uploading his songs and remixes on MySpace and YouTube. After receiving an amazing response worldwide, this motivated him to work even harder at his craft and to perfect it. Soon after, he eventually stopped using a pen and paper and started conducting his lyrics and melodies in his head.
Daddy Nino is an artist. Not just a singer, rapper, producer, dancer or actor. His goal is to push boundaries and familiarize the world with his idea of “the impossible”; taking all things that society says no to and transforming them into your everyday norm. The music itself is a combination of all styles and genres and showcases his potential to be one of the most sought after producers of our time. At the age of 20, he knows his music’s value and where he wants to go. Daddy Nino’s music cannot fit into a category; it must stand on its own.

Daddy Nino will be on the show March 21st and it going to the LIVE. One of the best artist Ive met since doing this thing. Check out his video, "Peaceland" below on this very blog. Shout out to Kid Calloway

Daddy Nino - Peaceland (Produced by Nujabes)

Though inspired by multiple musical genres and great emcees, Black's greatest influence as a hip hop artist can be found within himself. An ever evolving entity, Marcel P. Black at one time or another has been a misguided soul influenced by gang culture, an athlete, a band geek, a militant and a mentor but at all times has been authentically a man, authentically him.
From the hole-in-the wall Oklahoma nightclubs to the posh, upscale martini bars of Southern Louisiana emerges Bryan Marcel Williams I as DJ Hard Work. DJ Hard Work evolved out of necessity. Bryan Marcel Williams was tired of spending hard-earned money to go out partying just to hear the same thing in the club that is constantly on the radio. DJ Hard Work evolved because someone had to be the voice (or the hands) of the hip hop lovers, the remix heads, the B-side people, those who value the quality of music over the status, affluence or wealth of the artists making it. DJ Hard Work is a connoisseur, listener and student of good music, particularly good hip hop music and it is for this reason he is quickly becoming a favorable name in the Baton Rouge community.

Marcel P. Black is DJ Hard Work

Marcel P. Black & DJ Hard Work are Bryan Marcel Williams I...

Confused? Don't be... listen behind the music and he will explain himself loud and clear...

Levells will be PUT ON BLAST 1/31/11 at 6pm EST



LevelLs was raised in Brooklyn, New York. He developed his passion for music early in life and he knew that it was going to be a priority, not an option. He decided to continue the tradition of music through the generations in his family. Always playing music as a youth, He took a strong love to the drums and piano. His first production was at 9 yrs old on the first piece of equipment that he recalls producing on, a DX-7 synthesizer and a Yamaha drum machine. LevelLs was always known for music in high school. In those years, He was a part of a 4-piece band called I.D.E.A. where he played the drums and they would play for local events.

LevelLs went on to study Music Engineering in college and left early to focus on his music career. He started working with other musicians in the New York tri-state as well as other states to expand his market for music production. He evolved relentlessly and pushed forward to create a style of music that is influenced by 80’s Pop, Classical to Hip-Hop and combining them into new sounds. His music influences are broad and very vast, even drawing inspiration from some of his favorite comedians such as, Chris Rock and Bernie Mac. "A good comedian always has good relevance to life, and that is what I put in my music.

"LevelLs is currently branding his own independent venture. He is currently working on his debut album, “The Resume” due out spring 2011. His debut single, “Hip-Hop” already has a good buzz through the internet which is his ode for the love of the culture. With his smooth, slick wordplay, he's bringing a reminisce back of Hip-Hop’s 90's Golden Era with a current style that will continue the tradition of Hip-Hop for years to come.

"I’m just a dude that loves Hip-Hop” –LevelLs

Bobby Flacco will be put ON BLAST 1/27/11 8pm PST/11pm EST


Bobby Flacco was born in Oxnard, CA in 1985 to a Puerto Rican mother and Italian father. In his early years he was touted as a highly intelligent boy who couldn't seem to follow rules. His mother was a drug addict and alcoholic who would physically abuse him. This caused Bobby to backlash against society and disrespect teachers and authority. During the summer of 1999, things took an abrupt turn for Bobby that caused his whole outlook on life to change.

Bobby Flacco's mother was thrown in jail for selling narcotics and he was forced to survive off friends and family. Fueled by animosity towards his mother, Bobby told himself he would change the direction he and his siblings were in.

Bobby would move to Los Angeles at 17 and attend the University of Southern California where he graduated with a Bachelor's degree in Urban Planning and Construction Management. He currently works as an engineer to a major construction firm during the day, and hits the studio at night.

"Let success be the biggest revenge to those who put you down"
