WORD

Manuel "Paco" Navarro

I'd be remiss not to include DJ Paco in this blog as he may not have been as exhalted as some of the other entries he was a definite stop on the old radio dial.  Paquito was best known for his afternoon gig at WKTU aka Disco 92.  Paco's show and voice are legendary and his disco mixes live on to this day.  He is still an active DJ working mostly in the Spanish language market but he also does a Saturday Nights show on 102.7 in NYC.

Stretch Armstrong & Bobbito - WKCR 20 May 1993

DJ Stretch Armstrong (born Adrian Bartos) has been instrumental in presenting up-and-coming MCs through his media barrage of radio programs, mixtapes, and even video games. The New York native's first notoriety came as one-half of the Stretch Armstrong and Bobbito Show, which quickly became one of the premier forums for the city's emerging hip-hop talent to be heard. Robert "Bobbito" García is a Puerto Rican DJ, writer, entrepreneur, streetball player/coach/announcer, sneaker connoisseur, and member of the Rock Steady Crew. Several of the '90s' biggest names in rap received early notice on the Columbia University radio program from 1990 to 1998.  It featured exclusive demo tapes and in-studio freestyles from many then-unsigned artists such asNas, Big Pun, Jay-Z, Busta Rhymes, Fat Joe, Cam'ron, DMX, Wu-Tang Clan, Big L, Fugees, Talib Kweli and Notorious B.I.G. who later found great success on major record labels.
