This week THE ZRO HOUR salutes one of the illest groups in hip hop- THA ALKAHOLIKS. Tha Alkaholiks repped with party music full of crazy flows and banging production. After making an appearance on KING TEE's "Tha Triflin' Album", Tha Liks (J-Ro, Tash and E-Swift) released their first album "21 & Over" in 1993. As one of the first groups to sign with Loud Records, they were among the most influential groups to come out of that era as well as label mates with some of the finest in hip hop music including Big Pun, Wu-Tang and Mobb Deep. Their catalog consists of 5 albums with a couple of solo projects by Tash and J-Ro respectively.

Tha Alkaholiks' emcee Tash calls in to talk about the formation of the Likwit Crew, studio sessions with Ol' Dirty Bastard and current tours. Tash also introduces me to rapper Black Silver and they speak on a new supergroup featuring Prince Po from Organized Konfusion!

Cop his new release "CREATOR's KID" EP on itunes for $2.99!

I premiere new tracks by FREEWAY & JAKE ONE, MURS & 9TH WONDER, JOELL ORTIZ & NOVEL, REFLECTION ETERNAL, GORILLAZ feat, DE LA SOUL and SNOOP DOGG & KID CUDI. Classics from GANGSTARR and SADAT X round out the show.

Dilla and Baatin).

This week's show also features a dope interview with the Bay Area's own, BASH BROS., as they make their first appearance on THE ZRO HOUR. I have been following members PISEAS and LEFTY (aka UZI SCOTT) for about 2 years and have been impressed with their hard edged flows and consistent output. The Bash Bros. have been dropping heat for several years and have released a flurry of mixtapes and street albums along with 3 official releases. We speak on their journey from hustling cassettes out of their cars to flooding the digital airwaves of the net in the present. Their newest mixtape, "INGLOURIOUS BASTERDS: The Features", is a collection of some of their best work with a diverse group of the finest on the independent hip hop scene.

THE ZRO HOUR is back with a new episode devoted to one of the most diverse artists in hip hop, MOS DEF. Mos Def is an amazingly gifted emcee, poet, actor and musician. Be it the broadway stage, silver screen, recording studio or smoky club, Mos has always challenged expectations with his craft. His lyrics are laced with wit, insight and an outspoken candor. Mos Def can be bohemian and hood at the same time. He has collaborated with many of his idols and peers and their reverence for his lyricism is duly noted. I have selected some of his best solo tracks as well as some of the hottest collabos and freestyles. One selection of note is his live performance of "Quiet Dog", a song featured on his current CD "THE ECSTATIC". The live set was taken from a recent "Late Night with David Letterman" where Mos played the kettle drums and rapped simultaneously, never losing the beat.

Mos' film and television roles showcase his confident acting ability. He makes you forget that this is the same "true school" artist that rocks with Talib Kweli, De La Soul, Pharoahe Monch, The Roots, The Black Keys and many more. This show was a long time coming and I guarantee that you will rock this on "repeat"!

I set the show off with this year's "Rap Up" and also with BEKAY's "Year In Review". Bekay has been throwing his version out there since 2003. He calls in to break down his thoughts on his "Year In Review 2009". Before I go into my top ten, I drop a few gems to set the tone for 2010. I have new bangers from RAKIM feat.

THE ZRO HOUR is back with a tribute to one of the most talented, pioneering and trendsetting emcees- GRAND PUBA. Grand Puba has long had legendary status with over 20 years in hip hop. From message driven raps centered around the philosophy and teachings of the 5% Nation of Gods and Earths, to party jams that stay on repeat, Grand Puba has long been a favorite of fans and peers alike. Puba has lengthy production credits dating back to his work with Positive K and has always produced music for his own projects. He has returned to recording and dropped a 4th solo album this year titled "Retro-Active". I had the pleasure of meeting and briefly interviewing him this summer at his listening party in NYC. This episode is absolutely one of the best as I am proud to present some of Grand Puba's best work. Enjoy the show!

The featured interview this week is with one of Youngstown, Ohio's grizzliest emcees- AAROPHAT. Aarophat is no stranger to THE ZRO HOUR. Previously selected as a spotlight artist on THEZROHOUR.COM and one of the original RAWKUS 50 from 2007, Aarophat has had his music spun many times over several past shows. Aarophat, along with producer Illastrate, have joined forces as BLACK NOISE. I talked with Aaro about this project and his current movement. For all iTunes subscribers, Aarophat has provided a bonus download, "Whatchagannado feat DOLO", from the "Black Noise" CD.

Regular visitors to THEZROHOUR.COM and listeners of the podcast have been exposed to Senor Kaos' sharp, witty and heartfelt flow on tracks such as "Girls Rock Too", the De La Soul homage "20 Years High & Rising" and "Mr. Hollywood". High Water Music's Senor Kaos is one of the hardest working emcees today, collaborating with many of the best artists in the current indie hip hop scene. His blog, THEKAOSEFFECT.COM, is slick, informative and grants insight into the mind of a true soldier for hip hop.
