Nothing more then legendary. If you’re CLUELESS on who Red Alert is, watch some Hip-Hop documentaries on Netflix or that documentary about A Tribe Called Quest. You’ll get a better understanding and respect for who this man REALLY IS!

[…] off air. DJ Red Alert war seit den Anf
I grew up on Kiss and BLS from way back in the day. Radio used to be so great before corporations took over. Each region and individual radio stations had their own styles and programming was based on what the listeners and DJs wanted hear and play. As a result, you never felt like the same five songs were constantly being shoved down your throat.
