Radio One’s Hot 107.9 Birthday Bash 18 and the power players: A snapshot of history

Birthday Bash t.i.

Two years shy of its 20th anniversary, Atlanta’s Birthday Bash 18 has a lot to celebrate. Atlanta’s underground music scene has welcomed transplants-turned-superstars from as far as Los Angeles and as near as Miami. It’s also where you’ll find Hot 107.9 with its “ears to the streets.”


It’s not often that your radio station DJ who spins your favorite jams on the radio is the same person who hosts weekly hot spots in Atlanta. It’s customary to see Hurricane Dave on the scene among strip club fanatics and sexy women. In fact, that’s how he found rap phenomenon Cash Out and how the “Battlegrounds” segment on Durrty Boyz radio show broke Trinidad James’ “All Gold Everything.”


Find out the scoop from the power players behind the show.
