This is very cool of Sirius. On May 27th, SIRIUS Satellite Radio will dedicate an entire day of programming to the late Justo Faison. Justo Faison (founder the Mixtape Awards back in 1995) died in a car accident in Virginia on May 13th - a death deeply felt in the hip-hop community.
SIRIUS’ Wax channel 42 will honor Faison by playing mixes from DJs across the U.S. who have been honored with Mixtape Awards.
DJs include: DJ Ace (New York City), DJ Smallz (Florida), SIRIUS host Clinton Sparks (Boston, MA), DJ Warrior (Los Angeles), DJ E-Rock (San Francisco) and Mick Boogie (Cleveland), to name just a few.
Condolences from many DJs who knew Justo, or who received Mixtape Awards, will also be included in the special day of programming, which will begin at 9am and end at 9pm on Friday, May 27th.
