395 Hudson St, 7th Floor || New York, New York 10014, USA
Just through the Holland Tunnel, right over in Greenwich Village is the location where hip-hop lives and dies. Home of Hot 97, considered hip-hop's #1 radio station in the nation, 395 Hudson street is where emcees, DJs and hip-hop tastemakers collide as records get broken on air and careers get made spin by spin. Hot 97 has long been considered NYC's illest radio station, and thus WQHT are hip-hop's premier calling letters.
With the popularity has come all the hottest DJs and tastemakers, not to mention the slew of artists that head down to lower Manhattan to pack into the booths at Hot 97 and get a chance to speak to their people on the air. Hot 97 is also almost as well known for their outside altercations, including high profile hip-hop shootouts right outside the front doors to their building.
While giving you the scoop on the shootings involving 50 Cent's camp and The Game's as well as the Lil' Kim and Capone-N-Noreaga situation that left automatic bullets flying down Hudson Street, this DVD documentary-style joint puts the cameras on some of the station's premier DJs, including major artists (like Cam'ron and Juvenile) and all the top DJs: Funk Flex, Kay Slay, DJ Whoo Kid, DJ Enuff, DJ Envy and Cipha Sounds.
