Weekend Kickoff: Hip Hop Shorty

Twenty-eight tracks of hip-hop-leaning Weekend Kickoff programming — the run for the Fridays where the rotation pulled toward the rap side rather than the broader cross-genre survey. Gang Starr anchor the boom-bap-with-jazz-samples legacy core that defined the East Coast lineage; Guru with Angie Stone bring the Jazzmatazz-era soul-rap bridge that opened the genre to broader rotation; Ghost Town DJs drops in for the bass-music-classic singalong moment that always works; Da Brat closes the late-’90s and early-’00s Atlanta rap legacy run with the catalog moments that bridged the South into the broader rotation. Built for a Friday-evening pre-game rather than a long-form workday rotation — short, peak-heavy, and committed to the genre.
