About the Program
Kevin Beacham has been an MC, producer, artist manager, record promoter, journalist, DJ, radio show host, record label manager, and now back to radio show host. He first got his start in radio in April of 1995 on WNUR 89.3 at Northwestern University in Evanston, Illinois. His show Time Travel was a conceptual hip-hop show that used the music as a medium to educate listeners about the culture of hip hop, the artists and pioneers involved, and the many factors surrounding it. He moved to Minneapolis in 2002 to help manage the Rhymesayers Record Label. He now makes his return to radio with Redefinition Radio where he hopes to continue to entertain and educate people on hip-hop culture and rap music!
