THUNDER ZONE RADIO PRESENTS “A LOOK BACK” AT 2K12 VIA RAP, DANCE AND ROCK AND ROLL. NONE OF THE USUAL SEGMENTS, JUST SOME OF THE BEST MUSIC FROM THE PAST YEAR. A MIX OF CUTS BY FRIENDS OF MINE AND THUNDER ZONE AFFILIATES BUT ALSO JUST SOME “GREAT TUNES” THAT GOT ME THRU SHIT IN 2K12. THUNDER ZONE RADIO IS BACK FRESH IN FEBRUARY WITH MORE CRAZY ONE-MAN “INTERNET ZOO” RADIO.

ANOTHER STINT ON THE ROAD AND ANOTHER POSITIVE EXPERIENCE PLAYING AMERICAN MUSIC. 10 SHOWS IN 10 DAYS AND A GREAT TEST DRIVE BACK INTO THE GAME. JAMMING WITH THE HEARTLAND BAND, FUCKING UP MY ANKLE CLIMBING A SPEAKER STACK – ALL THAT SHIT! “CLASSIC JUICEBOXXX” IF YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN. PLAYING A LOT OF TOWNS I HAVE A LOT OF HISTORY WITH. UPS AND DOWNS. ROCK AND ROLL. REVIEW OF THE NYC SHOW BY VICE RIGHT HERE.

MORE SHOWS IN JULY WITH JEFF THE BROTHERHOOD. “I DON’T WANNA GO INTO THE DARKNESS” COMES OUT RIGHT AROUND THEN. MORE INFO ON THAT SOON. MUSIC VIDEOS, ENERGY DRINKS. ALL THAT SHIT. SOON.

I’M FUCKING OUT HERE PUTTING IT ALL ON THE LINE BECAUSE IT’S ALL I KNOW. ABOVE IS ME PLAYING “NEVER SURRENDER FOREVER” AT SILK CITY IN PHILLY. RUNNING ON FUMES. BANGING MY HEAD AGAINST A BRICK WALL. ENTER THE THUNDER ZONE.

IT MIGHT SEEM OLD FASHIONED BUT I STILL LOVE TO LISTEN TO THE RADIO. BEING ON TOUR DRIVING TRYING TO FIND THE SICK STATION WITH THE LIVE MIX SHOW IS A TRADITION THAT I FEEL LIKE I’VE KNOWN MY WHOLE LIFE. IN THAT SPIRIT, NOZ OF FAMOUS RAP BLOG COCAINE BLUNTS RECENTLY POSTED A RADIO RIP OF DIAMOND KUTS ON POWER 99 IN PHILLY.

FOUR HOURS OF NEW AMERICAN MUSIC INSANITY COVERING ALL THE BASES. FROM THAT NEW SCHOOL EAST COAST CLUB SOUND TO BOUNCE MUSIC TO UPFRONT RAP, DIAMOND KUTS PLAYS AN AMAZING VARIETY THAT TRANSCENDS REGIONALISM BUT STILL FEELS VERY “EAST COAST”. THE MIXING STYLE IS AGGRESSIVE AND THE AIRHORNS ARE ROCK AND ROLLING. WHAT MORE COULD YOU WANT?

I HAVEN’T BEEN ON THE ROAD IN A BIT SO LISTENING TO THIS PUT ME BACK IN THAT ZONE. I KNOW YOU CAN STREAM THIS STUFF BUT I THINK IT IS GOOD SOMEONE OUT THERE IS ARCHIVING IT SO FANS LIKE MYSELF CAN LISTEN TO IT OVER AND OVER AGAIN AND GET SIKED.
