1. KDAY - 93.5
- KDAY was the first classic rap station on the planet, and that is important. It also launched George Carlin’s career in the ’60s. But since 2004 the station has centered on oldies hip-hop, as it sews together cuts from several decades, from charted hits to deeper posse cuts, often throwing R&B and freestyle into the mix as well. 93.5 would likely have been on the top anyway, but now that it boasts "The Art Laboe Connection," the best long-running L.A. radio program ever? There’s no question. L.A. hall-of-famer Laboe now closes out every week with his Sunday evening broadcast. There is no better station to cruise the PCH to, lowride to, or put on in the backyard for a cookout than KDAY. If there is a higher power, KDAY will outlive us all.
- Power is the best place in L.A. for contemporary hip-hop and R&B ... and, in recent years, some pop and EDM, too. The station “Where Hip-Hop Lives” offers a solid stable of veteran DJs and personalities like Felli Fel, and it regularly features some top-shelf live mixing and scratching.
