#24in24 – 24 Songs in 24 Hours by 24 Artists

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.

Pure submissions next week, so ARTISTS: Hit us up.

LFOD Radio 3.30.21 – Nipsey Hussle Tribute

Nipsey Hussle LFOD Radio 3.30.21
RIP Nipsey Hussle 8/15/85 – 3/31/19

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.

DJ Manipulator #LFODMix (3.16.21)

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.

The Notorious B.I.G Tribute (3.9.21)

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.

DJ Candy Raine #LFODMix (3.3.21)

LFOD Radio DJ Candy Raine 3.2.21

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.
