| Influential NYC hip hop radio personalities Stretch Armstrong & Bobbito Garcia will be at the T.O. screening. |
During the 1990s,
Stretch and
Bobbito introduced the world to an unsigned Nas, Biggie Smalls, Wu-Tang, and Big Pun, as well as an unknown Jay Z, Eminem, and the Fugees from WKCR's Studio B. The total record sales for all the artists that premiered on their show exceed 300 million. The late-night program had a cult following in the art/fashion world and prison population as well. All would loyally tune in for the offbeat humor just as much for the exclusive tunes. Stretch and Bobbito brought a unique audience together, and created a platform that changed music forever.
Stretch and Bobbito: Radio That Changed Lives screens at the
Royal Theatre (608 College) on November 5 at 7 pm with an after party at
Tattoo (567 Queen West) at 10 pm. Get advance tickets for the film screening right
here. Listen to Stretch & Bobbito's 25th Anniversary broadcast on Shade 45. Watch the trailer for the documentary followed by Stretch & Bobbito's chat for Red Bull Academy in San Francisco 2012.
