WHPK was the first to bring hip-hop to the South Side’s airwaves
nearly two decades ago, when other radio stations were still playing Huey
Lewis and the News. Quite a few have caught on by now, but our Rap shows continue
to be the best out there. DJs JP Chill, Extreme, V Funk, Kev Duce, Thaione,
Pugslee Atomz and Kevin Maxey play the cutting edge of the hip-hop underground
while keeping a firm grip on the old-school—all unedited and uncensored.
And on Friday nights you’ll get to hear live mixes by legendary DJs
from around Chicago.

CTA Radio
CTA Radio started eleven years ago on a trial basis as a collaboration between KMax, Thaione Davis, & Pugs. After a few months of devoted listenership and street popularity, the show became a mainstay at the station where it was a haven for undiscovered and established local talent and an outlet for new music and classic hip-hop/rap. Pugs & DJ KMax bring you playlists that includes more than just one genre. It’s possible to hear a variety of music ranging from Soul, Broken Beat, House (Progressive), Electronica, to the ‘Undefined’ category. During the course of the show, they've had the airwaves graced with interviews of legend as well as local artists. There is also a ‘rant’ or social commentary that is always open for discussion throughout the show. Topics can range from new technology/electronics to politics--local and abroad--or just random thoughts that crosses their minds. This show is definitely a weekly treat!
