Been a minute since we’ve handed the reins off… DJ Slick Vick takes control this week, bringing some new flavors to LFOD Radio. So far this year, we’ve had DJ Manipulator, DJ Candy Raine, DJ STIX, & Jeff 2Timez. Who could be next?
If you want to hear more from Slick Vick, you can catch her every Sunday from 1-3pm on Spark FM and connect with her on Instagram / Twitter.
We’ll be live again next Tuesday at 10pm, both streaming right here and on 91.5FM in Boston. ARTISTS – we’ll be spinning submissions, so send us your records.
This is more than just a 420 mix, it’s what we’re hoping is the first of many collaborations with YOU. We posted on our socials asking what your favorite smoke anthems were and this is what came back. Actually, we had too many songs to fit in one playlist. We got creative though – the backing track to our intro is Mack 10’s Take a Hit courtesy of TonyWhiteDDM, and Bone Thugs’ Buddah Lovaz is in the next interlude. The rest… stay tuned.
You know we’re live every Tuesday at 10pm, both streaming right here and on 91.5FM in Boston. Next week we’re joined by DJ Slick Vick, who’ll be getting busy with her very own LFOD Mix. Can not wait for that.
Artists, we’ll be spinning submissions again soon, so hit us up. In addition to these mixes, we have a weekly newsletter where we share your videos.
How’d we do on the mix? Let us know on Twitter, Instagram, or comment below.
First things first – Rest in peace Earl Simmons. This is one of those situations where what’s understood doesn’t need to be explained, so I’ll leave it at that.
We’ve had a lot of artists patiently waiting for us to spin their records, so that’s what this week’s mix is about. Last round of submissions was full of melodies – we kept it a bit more bar heavy this time around. Artists, you can hit us up whenever. In addition to these mixes, we have a weekly newsletter where we share your videos.
We’re also pretty active on Twitter & decent at Instagram as well. Always here for the conversation.
Speaking of which – Next week our show falls on 4/20…. What are you trying to hear?
Tomorrow marks the four year anniversary of #24in24‘s release. The album itself was created on March 25, 2017, when we invited 24 of our favorite artists to record 24 songs in 24 hours at The Bridge Sound & Stage in Cambridge, Massachusetts.
If this is your first time hearing about the album or you’d like to revisit some of the standout tracks, press play on the mix below. We’ve also sprinkled in some commentary from the artists involved. It truly was an incredible day.
One thing we keep hearing from artists is that we’re overdue for another. What do you think? Let us know below or on Twitter/Instagram. We’re always here for the conversation.
Not much to add that isn’t expressed in the mix… Nipsey Hussle was a one-of-one & an inspiration to millions. He shared his blueprint for success with us as he crossed goals off his bucket list with every release. From Slauson to the world, he dreamed big and lived his visions.
Every mixtape offered a new feel as he grew as an artist and person. And for what felt like forever, he kept telling us “Victory Lap coming soon”. In the meantime, we got Crenshaw, Mailbox Money, Slauson Boy 2… His mixtape catalogue is one of the strongest out.
He also introduced the Proud 2 Pay model, selling 1,000 copies of Crenshaw for $100 a piece and then 100 copies of Mailbox Money for $1,000. Or you could log on to DatPiff.com. Up to you.
When Victory Lap finally came, it truly felt like one. I’m just glad he was around to take it. Just over a year later, he was murdered outside his now-famous Marathon clothing store.
These are some of our favorites from his decade plus run of music, highlighting the different flavors he offered along the way.

And if you’re curious about having more success with submissions in general, we just dropped a video breaking down the science. Follow those tips and you’ll do well.
Straight submissions this week! Shoutout to all the artists sending us records. We never quite know what we’re gonna get. This week ya’ll were feeling the melodies. Maybe next mix we’ll hit ’em with the bars? I know there’s a few artists on our radar that are rapping rapping.

It’s a pleasure to welcome DJ Manipulator to the stage: We first met at Nightworks a few years back where he was a resident DJ. Of course, his reputation preceded him. However, if you are not familiar, trust you’re about to be. And if you are, then you know what’s next.
This is maybe the most relaxing mix we’ve had yet – It’s mostly instrumental, with original production and some gems from the crates. Some of the records he pulled aren’t even in the database we report spins on to keep in compliance with the FCC… If you like what you hear, be sure to let him know. You can also catch him spinning on The Just Records Podcast & his newest album, Gram Jams III is out now on bandcamp.
DJ Manipulator is our fourth guest already this year – If you missed Candy Raine, DJ STIX, or Jeff 2Timez, you can run their mixes back right here along with quite a few others.

Rest in Peace to Christopher Wallace aka The Notorious B.I.G., Biggie Smalls, Frank White, Big Poppa… Not many have made such an impact on Hip-Hop in such a short amount of time. He was signed to Bad Boy in 1993 and murdered in 1997. While he was here, he rapped his ass off. A menacing figure on wax, he also showed his sense of humor and charisma that won him the love of so many.
There’s a lot of different ways you can go with a B.I.G. mix. We chose to focus on the MC tonight. Whether blazing solo or going toe to toe with the heavyweights of his era (and the next), there’s no question that you’re listening to one of the best to ever do it.
We’ve been on a roll with guest DJs this year – If you missed Candy Raine, DJ STIX, or Jeff 2Timez, you can run their mixes back right here along with quite a few others.

Now this mix is about to be different than anything you’ve heard on LFOD Radio before. We’re joined by DJ Candy Raine, who gets downright nasty for the full hour. Not only that, but she manages to include 50+ artists in the soiree.
We’ve known Candy since the early days, whether she was winning Hoop-Hop chips, DJing at The Workout, or making moves with Code Eclectic. A few years ago she moved to Atlanta, where she’s actively DJing and also a part of the CareFreeBlackGirl movement & The Playbook ATL Show. You can also catch her on Spark FM every Tuesday & Wednesday from 3-5pm. She does a lot! And we’ll be dropping an interview with more about that soon, but right now it’s time to press play on her latest mix.
We’ve been loving the guest DJ flow so far – already this year we’ve had DJ STIX & Jeff 2Timez, with another guest lined up for later this month. Anyone you’d like to hear? Let us know on Twitter/Instagram or drop a comment below.
And Artists! We’re spinning straight submissions next week, so hit us with some heat!!
We’re back next Tuesday at 10pm on 91.5FM in Boston & streaming right here.
Earlier this month, we asked ya’ll who your favorite DJ was and a whole lot of folks said DJ STIX… So being that LFOD is a platform of and for the people, we’re proud to present to you our newest #LFODMix featuring the man himself.
We’re gonna be doing these more and more frequently, so if there’s someone you want to hear either comment below or hit us on Twitter/Instagram.
If you missed our Best of January or Jeff 2Timez mix, would definitely recommend giving those a spin as well.
We’re back next Tuesday at 10pm on 91.5FM in Boston & streaming right here.
