In 1995, the Mastermind Street Jam was the place where hip-hop fans got their weekly dose of fresh tracks and exclusive interviews. Every week, Energy 108 (107.9 FM) in the Hamilton and Toronto area broadcast this legendary show. On Nov. 20, 1995, DJ Mastermind played a set that included Junior Mafia's ‘Need U Tonite (Remix)’ and Mobb Deep's ‘Still Shining. Now available digitally, this broadcast offers a unique look at the hip-hop scene of the time.
The Mastermind Street Jam was not just another radio program; it was a platform for emerging artists and a source of exclusive content. DJ Mastermind, a pioneer in the Canadian hip-hop scene, made sure listeners always heard the latest and hottest tracks. His influence extended beyond radio; he was a mentor to many artists and a bridge between different hip-hop communities.
Now, 30 years later, the legacy of the Mastermind Street Jam continues to live on. The digital archives allow new generations to discover and appreciate hip-hop's roots. It's a reminder of how important it is to cherish and share our history. So, for true hip-hopheads: dive into these archives and experience the vibe of the past. Who knows, you might discover a track you didn't know yet, but want to put in your playlist right away.
The Mastermind Street Jam was more than just music; it was a culture, a movement, a salty time in hip-hop history. Let's continue to celebrate this legacy and inspire the next generation with the stories and sounds that shaped us.”
