Classic Hip Hop

Classic Hip-Hop is a new 24-hour format reaching 25 to 54-year-olds who have matured in age, lifestyle, and social awareness. This diverse group of listeners grew up embracing Hip Hop culture and listening to Hip Hop and now, while older, this group still follows the latest trends in technology, entertainment, and fashion. We call them “The Hip-Hop Nation!”
