IT'S 4/20...

..and THE ZRO HOUR is back with that "sour D". We revisit some of the best tracks in Redman's career along with a couple from his new CD, RED GONE WILD. Also on the show is a few from Prodigy of Mobb Deep, Big Pun, Wise Intellegent, Xzibit and KRS One. I reached into the vault and grabbed a live performance by Slick Rick & Doug E. Fresh from '86-87. Also listen for tracks by Smile Rays, Magnum Dollars, and IAMISEE.

I am still awaiting the arrival of Minister Louis Farrakhan's Saviour Day 2007 address on DVD. I am very anxious to hear what wisdom he has to share with the world. He rarely gets mainstream coverage and has been fighting a battle against prostate cancer for the last few years. I found this excerpt from an interview with Don Lemon on CNN (March 07, 2007) on THE FINAL CALL website.
