Some records don’t just live in the club — they raise whole scenes. That was the case with Eddie “D” Featuring Galaxxy’s gritty, stripped-down 1984 single “Cold Cash $ Money.” A Philly corner-store record that turned into a Be-Boy and party rockers anthem, it’s one of those raw, early rap moments where beats were simple, […]
Comedian Corey Holcomb crashed into The Madd Hatta Show, dropping truth bombs that sent shockwaves through the airwaves. Known for his raw and unfiltered comedy, Holcomb held nothing back, diving deep into the realities of fame, relationships, and navigating the treacherous waters of Hollywood. Right from the jump, Holcomb confronted the idea of repercussions for […]
When the drums hit and the synth stutters in that split-second before you move, you know it’s more than a song—it’s a moment. In 1984, Debbie Deb’s “When I Hear Music” carved its place in dance-floor history: part freestyle, part booty-electro, and entirely irresistible. From Record Store to Studio Debbie Wesoff-Lopez (aka Debbie Deb) was […]
Back in 1984, when disco was slipping out of the popularity the dance floor was still getting packed by sleeker synth-funk grooves, Wish and Fonda Rae dropped something that didn’t scream chart-topping smash at first—but it earned its place. Their track “Touch Me (All Night Long)” glides like a midnight whisper in the club: thumping […]
If you remember the early 2000s R&B scene, you definitely remember the falsetto that took over the airwaves. Jimmy Cozier stopped by Majic 102.1 to chop it up with the legendary Madd Hatta, and the conversation was nothing short of a family reunion. The vibes were nostalgic, honest, and incredibly forward-looking as Jimmy reflected on […]
112's Room 112 Tour in Houston! with Total & Case and feel the 90s nostalgia.
There are grooves that sneak up on you, quietly plant themselves in your chest, and then everyone in the room knows they belong there. Two of those grooves — both funky— came from The Whatnauts and the other, Fat Larry’s Band. On paper they live on separate branches of the funk family tree: The Whatnauts, […]
Sometime in ’84 I had to be at a jam at the park when I heard the DJ scatch the intro of this song over and over and had the shell toe Adidas wearing Be-Boys showing out. Man what a magical musical time. Let me adjust my Kangol…now I’ll finish. Two identical twins, TaharQa Aleem […]
In the heat of New York City in 1981, when disco was bowing out and R&B was stepping in to claim its spot, there came The Strikers—seven musicians who didn’t just follow the beat, they built it. Veterans of the scene like drummer Milton Brown, bassist Willie Slaughter, keyboardist Howie Young, guitarist Robert Gilliom, saxophonist […]
Houston’s own Madd Hatta of Majic 102.1 recently chatted with Black-owned media mogul Roland S. Martin for a powerful discussion on the urgent need for the Black community to engage in the political process. Martin didn’t mince words, delivering a compelling message about the real-world consequences of voter apathy, especially with critical elections on the […]
This one put in the super heavy funk file. Back in the 70’s & 80’s some of the best jams came from small labels that would pop up quick and go away just as fast. I looked forward to cutting on the radio and hoping I heard something to light up my soul and “Shine […]
