Richie Rich was a local d.j. and is African-American, Nice was a student at Columbia University and hosted a hip hop show on WKCR.

is there no way to prevent people like stereoassassin1 from throwing up these little bullshit promos for their crap no one cares about? getting sick of that shit. this is a shoutbox for people to express their love (or hate) of an artist, not to see a dam commercial. on that note 3rd bass brings back fond memories. I like them.
