My man Tochi just started a new series spotlighting Canadian legends that paved the way for shows like ours. It is actually very fitting that the first episode is with the legendary DJX and his Power Move show, which was an inspiration for all of us here at the The Real Frequency. We ended up taking over the time slot (1pm-4pm) on Saturdays at CKLN 88.1 until we moved to FLOW 93.5 several years ago.
“Canada has a hip hop legacy, but nobody talks about it! That’s about to change! “Retrospective” is a mini doc series focused on Canadian legends. In this first and very special episode, DJX highlights his legendary “Power Move” show. He reveals his ego clash with Mastermind, the artists he put on through the Power Move, significant and sometimes scary moments, and what he’s up to now – including the possibility of a debut album!”
Enjoy the episode and make sure to subscribe to Tochi’s channel. Feel free to hit him with comments, good or bad, because he’s never shy to give his haha. Another legend is up next but I’m not gonna blow up the spot just yet.
djx basically introduced me to hiphop through the powermove show. i would have loved to heard more about that confrontation in the studio between he and apple. i think i heard a bit about it before. something about dude’s tracks not getting played enough on the show?
Haha that’s typically the reason.
Hollerate!
