W233BF

W233BF FM 94.5, known as Streetz 94-5, is a radio station in metro Atlanta, now licensed to serve Atlanta. After a series of moves (previously serving the eastern exurb of Social Circle), the station now transmits from the tall WUPA TV tower east of downtown, just north of Interstate 20. The station broadcasts a hip hop music format, with a heavy emphasis on local artists, and is less mainstream than other similar stations in the format such as WHTA and WVEE.

Although the station is licensed as a "broadcast translator" (a service intended to retransmit analog FM stations to distant or terrain-obstructed areas), it is operating independently under a Federal Communications Commission (FCC) legal fiction that allows such stations to transmit original programming if it is also simulcast on another station's HD Radio digital subchannel — in this case, 94.1 WSTR's HD3 subchannel. (Despite the purchase of two other stations, it is still legally prohibited from retransmitting them since they are out-of-market.) Since legitimately licensed noncommercial LPFM stations cannot do any of these things (have multiple stations, operate commercially, use higher powers and unlimited heights, or afford to rent an "HD" channel or AM station) despite being in the same FCC class D, no community radio stations have gone on-air in or immediately around the city since the 1980s, and two have been forced off-air in the 2000s. "Streetz" was originally on another such station, W275BK FM 102.9, which is also on the same tower. The station's manager was forced in a lawsuit to give up the original station to the owners of the major local station he previously worked for.

Personal life

Early life

In school, Lamar was a 'quiet kid' with an interest in poetry. He had a particular interest in reading. Literature was his favorite subject and enjoyed creative writing classes.

Rich Homie Quan played baseball for four years, while he attended Atlanta, Georgia's Ronald McNair Sr. High School, and had aspirations to play professionally. As center fielder and leadoff hitter, Quan began playing at the varsity level during his freshman year and earned a scholarship offer from Fort Valley State University. However, Quan decided to focus his interests elsewhere; he began rapping and got a job at a nearby airport. When he lost his job, Quan got involved in illegal activities which included stealing, and that eventually led to him serving 15 months in prison for burglary. "I never saw myself going this far with music. Music was just a hobby at first. I never saw myself being on stage and rocking out shows. After I got out of jail, I started to take it more serious, and that’s when my dream came true.", he said in an interview to XXL. When he got out of jail, he decided he would be shy no more. "I knew this was all I had and I wanted to go hard at it, so that's what I did", he said.
