Utilizing both research elements came the draft of the Gavin Radio Rap Chart. Since Rap encompasses many different sized compa- nies as well as an active emcee-D.J. mentality, we felt it was necessary to provide an over- view for both formats. After another successful panel at the 1990 Gavin Seminar, we de- cided there was a void to be filled. So on September 28, 1990, the Gavin Report made it's official debut of the music industry's first official Radio Rap and Rap Retail Album Chart. The presence and knowledge kicked - off the addition with the Gospel of Hip -Hop according to mega -producer Hank Shocklee.

Now, a little about the Gavin Rap section's associate editors. The pioneer is Kelly Woo. Kelly, a Broadcast Communications graduate from San Francisco State University, has been with our department since 1990. He started as an intern, and Kelly is now our trouble- shooter. He manages our Rap retail panel and seminar sessions.

www.americanradiohistory.com AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA FUSING KNOWLEID GE AN E> REALITY

Fusing together a schooled intellect with the experience of street smarts are Rap newcomers the College Boyz. Hailing from Californina, Texas, and New York, this four man Rap team have fused their regional influences and are spreading knowledge with their debut release, "Radio Fusion." With its serious look at the social and emotional problems of the street, the first single, "Victim Of The Ghetto" is an impressive start that demands a listen. The College Boyz are Rom, Squeek, The Q and B- Selector. Put these four clashing styles and backgrounds together and the end result is funky, positive, and articulate. Recently, Leo Brown spoke with the College Boyz to discuss their musical philosophies...

LEO BROWN: How did you guys get hooked up with Virgin Records? THE COLLEGE BOYZ: We originally came from Bayshore, exas. We were shopping demos a few years ago, but unfortunately we couldn't negotiate a deal. So we ended up doing some studio work with M.C. Ct Skat Kat, who was already signed to Virgin, and through him we were eventually offered a deal. LB: Why did you decide to start up your own label Talk Is Cheap Records? TCB: We started that label when we were fourteen years old. We thought that way we could distribute our music throughout Houston and East of Houston. C:= LB: Is there much Hip -hop in Baytown? P.T4

0-1F-T-1

TCB: Not at all. People in Texas only listen to the hard stuff, anything wack didn't make it here. In fact, C) we're more Hip -hop oriented in Baytown and Houston than all the places I've been to. People would expect Baytown to just horses and cattle, but that's not the way it is at all. LB: You've opened up for artists such as Ice-T, EPMD, Big Daddy Kane and Salt n' Pepa. What was that like? TCB: When rap acts came through town and needed a local act to open for them, they'd call. But it really wasn't any big deal, because we can really relate to other rappers on a one -on -one basis. Also we had been doing local shows for some time, so it really wasn't anything new to us. Plus we already had a following. LB: Could you explain the concept of "Victim of the ghetto ?" TCB: A lot of times people are under the impression that in the hetto, it's all negative. What we tried P.T-1 to do was relay the message that it's not all violence. There are families and love in the ghettos too, and that's what we try to portray. LB: Your name "The College Boyz" sends an image that you're educated. Is that whatyou were looking for? TCB: People may expect us to be over -educated gentlemen that are clean -cut. But the way we see it is we've worked all our lives-we're paying our way through college. When we leave school we don't go to a dorm, we go right back to the street where we came from. LB: What does radio fusion mean? TCB: We have different musical tastes. We've merged our influences to put this album together, and thats what radio fusion means -a combination of musical influences on the radio. LB: What kind of advise would you give a person who's trying to make a career in the music business? TCB: Have respect for your culture, stick with it and don't give up.

VI01AT0111l1a1111 Gl 1992 RELATIVITY RECORDS, INC. www.americanradiohistory.com Inside The Underground THE KING TECH "WAKE UP SHOW" BRINGING THE UNDERGROUND TO THE AIRWAVES

Digital Under- Until recently, with the exception of artists such as Too Short, Paris and Interview By Brian Alan Samson ground, the San Francisco Bay Area was hardly considered a haven for rappers. (We can't Edited by Kelly Woo forget Hammer, but he's a different phenomenon.) But underneath the fog was a well kept secret: a wealth of talent, and an integral part of that was King Tech and the "Wake Up Show." Down with Hip -hop from the get -go, King Tech and partner MC Sway are both credited with several accomplishments, most notably the 1987 single "We Want To Rock You" and the 1988 "Flynamic EP" on their own label All City Productions. They're also known for their Giant Records' debut, "Concrete Jungle." In 1989 Tech met KMEL -San Fran- cisco power mixer Alexander Mejia who invited him to enter a DJ battle. Not only did Tech win the battle, more importantly he won the confidence of Mejia and KMEL program director Keith Naftaly. As a result of their meeting, Naftaly offered Tech some Tuesday night guest shots, and - soon Tech convinced Naftaly to let him create a show that 1 focused on Hip -hop. Keith gave Tech a chance, and he produced the "Wake Up Show," so named, as Tech says, "To wake people up and educate them about the music they listen to. "The music Joe Quixx (who's been a sidekick and fellow DJ with Tech since 1983) plays isn't what you'd usually hear on KMEL's nightly mixshows or what's played in the station's normal rotation," says Tech. "He and I select the cuts -nobody tells us what to play. If we feel a record is dope and needs airplay to blow it up, we'll play it." According to Tech, in the beginning, KMEL's management didn't understand the type of rap he and Quixx were playing. Even so, they stuck by them and the station began getting positive calls from all over Northern California. The staff gradually caught on to what the show was all about. Aside from new music, the show features interviews with signed and unsigned artists, Hip - hop news and old -school flashbacks. The cast includes Sway, Motion Man, E -Vol, Mike, Kool Kaz, and Kevin Nash. All involved agree on a singular purpose. "We don't want people to miss the real under- ground Hip -hop records," said Tech. "We want to educate them so they can understand their roots."

The Wake Up Show can be heard on KMEL -San Francisco, Friday nights at 11:00 PM. KMEL "Wake Up Crew"

GARTH BROOKS

"The most memorable moment for me with

American Country Countdown was when

Much Too Young first hit the charts at #38.

That was better than any #1 I ever had.

To hear Bob Kingsley talk about me

and my song- what a thrill.

American Country Countdown

is cool... it gives a hell of

a lot more than a

standard countdown show."
