Remember: at one point, some of your favorite hip hop artists (50 Cent, Wu-Tang Clan, Eminem, etc...) started out in the underground scene...all it took was the right opportunity.
Give these guys a listen and you'll be pleasantly surprised!

Beats From The East on CJLO - Episode 1 (12/09/09)
PLEASE DOWNLOAD AGAIN...some parts, that were aired, were lost, but have since been recovered and re-inserted into the podcast.
I am quite proud of my "first ever" radio episode. I handled everything, on the technical side, fairly well and felt at ease. It took a week of mental-preparation, but it paid off nicely. However...
With rookies, come "rookie mistakes". Around the 4-min mark of the show, I noticed that I had forgotten to hit the CoolEdit "record" button. Therefore, I lost roughly 4 minutes of my broadcast, including the opening speech.
BUT...I have just recreated the first 4 minutes of the show and attached it onto the rest of the recorded show. Still missing, however, is the opening speech, since I found that it'd be too "fake" if I re-recorded one.
Special Thanks to J-Nice of the Limelight hip hop show, for stopping by to "oversee".
Here's the tracklist...please click on the highlighted links, in order to visit the artists' sites, support them, and get their tracks!
Ironically, the first podcast of "MORE BEATS FROM THE EAST" precedes the first podcast of "BEATS FROM THE EAST", seeing that it is supposed to be an extention of the latter show.
But since the airdate of BFTE was a week away, I figured that I'd give you all a preview of what's gonna go down!
Artists, do not fear...content that is used for my personal-podcast WILL be played on the radio-show, regardless. You will get the airplay, as promised!
PLEASE EXCUSE THE LACK OF SOUND QUALITY, as this podcast was done on my crappy home-PC and USB mic.
Podcast Summary
"Beats From The East" is a weekly radio broadcast on Concordia's CJLO 1690 am, a Montreal-based University Radio station.
Every Saturday night at 10pm EST, DJ Mister Vee will be bringing you some of the best urban music (Soul, RnB, Hip-Hop, Funk, Electro, Acid Jazz, Reggae...yes, Asian-Reggae exists!) from Far-East Asian artists. You can expect to hear music sung in English, Mandarin, Cantonese, Japanese, Korean, Tagalog, and Vietnamese.
For those of you who do not live in Montreal, the show will be offered to you via live webcast. You just need to visit www.cjlo.com and run the live stream.
Seeing that the radio show is only one-hour long...I will periodically be posting up an additonal home-made podcast, called "MORE Beats From The East", which will help fill up your appetite and give you more in-depth information, in regards to the artists.
If you've never heard of MC Sniper, Kero-One, Lyrics Born, Christina Chung, Paul Kim, Notorious MSG, Far-East Movement, Magnetic North, Roscoe Umali, Sevenes, Snacky Chan, UPT, Hiro-A-Key, The Greater Good, Masia One, or Anonymous Twist, then SCHOOL IS IN!!!

DJ Mister Vee is a DJ, Radio Host, Music-Lover, ex-DragonBoater, and self-proclaimed "Hip-Hop Activist" (following Harry Allen's footsteps).
He reunited with an old highschool friend, CJLO's DJ Solespin, at a Big Daddy Kane concert. The two used to exchange cassettes in the school's hallways. Solespin then invited him to appear on two of his own shows and, in the process, inspired Mister Vee to pursue a radio-show of his own!
