I pledged allegiance to the grind back in July when I did Night Of The Living Grind Part I.

Tune in this Thursday September 18, 2008 to Carolina Stand Up! on WXYC 89.3 FM Thursday Night Feature from 9PM-12MN. I will be playing NC & SC hip hop artists exclusively.
This means do not call up to the station asking to hear some Rappin 4 Tay or some Hot Boy Ronald.

It ain’t happening that night. You will get the gas face and the dial tone.

Listen to the show live via the www.
Then tune in 5 hours later for the regular show on WXDU 88.7 FM.

This week’s hot interviews:
You may not know super-producer Kevin “Khao” Cates by name but you definately know him by hits.

Khao is the man behind the boards on hits such as T.I.’s “Why You Wanna” and “Stand Up Guy”. In addition to being one of the go to producers for Grand Hustle Khao has tracks on T.I.’s upcoming Paper Trail and has produced for Young Jeezy, David Banner, Luda, T.Daddy Dollars, Dead Prez + many more.
Khao’s production skills reach beyond the world of hip hop: He’s “made beats” for Ruben Studdard, Amerie, Ashley Tisdale & Taylor Swift, just to name a few.

Reaching beyond the music industry Khao has teamed up with Civil Rights Leader Dr.Charles Steele, Jr for the Million March 2 Vote Campaign, which kicks off tomorrow Wednesday September 17, 2008; this campaign is a non-partisan nationwide effort which encourages civic organizations to encourage their members and constituents to vote.
