What
We Play
The
Streetz Of Aztlan is Proudly Produced Friday's 12-4PM Pacific
at the California Studios of the Vision Radio Network. The
format is Old School, Oldies, Aztlan Classics and Chicano
Rap. This Mix is geared towards the Chicano, Latino and
Black Audiences - The fact is, You'll hear a mix of Music
you won't hear anywhere else.
We've
Been Cruising Since 1993
The Streetz of Aztlan was started in May of 1993, in Sacramento,
CA. Since then it has traveled through two Radio Stations
and two Online Radio Networks, yet little has changed.
We
are the original Home and Authority of Old School in the
Sacra area. Beginning At Access Sacramento - A Community
Radio Station in Sacramento California. Like elsewhere in
life, we were watched over closely by an overly-worried
Management, fearing the FCC would come down on us for playing
Hard Rap or overly expressing ourselves Politically on the
air - Foreigners in our Own Country.
Within
the limits of that environment, [and sometimes outside of
them], We stayed and played our way into the hearts and
fascinations of those that heard us. Like other Chicano/Radio
Aztlan Style Radio Programs [Berkeley, Davis, Riverside],
We were playing a unique Mix of Old School, Oldies, Chicano
Rock and the New, though totally Underground sound of Chicano
Rap.
I
would always end the Program with: "Keep Your Head
To The Sky, Don't Let Nobody Get You Down, And remember
RAZA - YOU LIVE IN AZTLAN"
The
Big Networks And You
It
was our very own Listeners that caused CHR Radio Stations
in the greater Sacramento area to bring back Old School,
way before anyone thought it would be viable. Since we were
on only once a week, listeners would call the Big Stations
all week, asking to hear what I was playing on the show.
They eventually came around (at least to the Old School
Part).
Now
since the big networks [Clear Channel] have bought out almost
every single radio and television station in the United
States, and have saturated the airwaves - they have ruined
Old School, R&B and Oldies. But, not because they play
it.. But because they play a tiny commercialized slice of
it.. OVER AND OVER AGAIN.
