Welcome to Twenty D Batteries – Boombox Classics, where the beats are timeless, and the rhymes never fade.

We’re taking you back to the golden age of hip hop and rap—back to the 80s, 90s, and early 2000s, when music filled the streets, blasted from boomboxes, and echoed through neighborhoods on portable radios. This is the era that gave birth to legends—The Sugarhill Gang, Public Enemy, Eric B & Rakim, LL Cool J—and shaped the very soul of the culture we live and breathe today.

From the turntables to the microphone, hip hop became more than just music. It was a movement, an anthem for a generation, a voice for the voiceless. The music spoke truth, rebellion, and unity, and its impact continues to resonate in every beat drop.

And let’s not forget the West Coast influence. Artists like Ice-T, N.W.A., and Too Short brought a raw, unfiltered perspective that defined the West Coast sound. From the gritty streets of Compton to the laid-back vibe of the Bay Area, these pioneers helped shape hip hop into a cultural force that crossed coasts, blending hard-hitting beats with real-life stories. Their bold, unapologetic approach left a mark on the genre that still influences artists today.

Tonight, we’re not just vibing with the hits, we’re honoring the pioneers who made it all happen—and we’re giving special recognition to one unforgettable character who embodied the heart and soul of this era. Bill Nunn, who recently passed away, brought to life “Radio Raheem” in Spike Lee’s Do The Right Thing—a character whose passion for music and powerful presence left an indelible mark on us all. Bill’s portrayal of Raheem, with his iconic boombox and message of love, still echoes in our hearts today.

So, sit back, turn up the volume, and let the classics take you on a ride through history. This is Twenty D Batteries – Boombox Classics—where the past meets the present, and the music never dies.
