Supporting Africa's 1st Internet rap radio station
Donation protected
Greetings,
We would like you to be a vital part of this journey; a journey of being an integral part of Rap Radio Africa; Africa’s premier Internet rap radio station showcasing 90% homegrown content.
For years, Ikenna "Bionic" Mbah (our Founder) had an this idea up until 2003 when we started the "Rap Radio Show" on Coal City 92.8 FM, Enugu, Nigeria. We relocated to Lagos, Nigeria in 2008 so airing stopped. Fast-forward to January 4th, 2016 - we birth Rap Radio Africa Internet radio station (from my bedroom) with a mission to give underground, unsigned, indigenous, creative lyricists on the continent, with realness, an all too important and equal opportunity with their mainstream colleagues especially one that doesn't subscribe to but boycotts the plague of “Payola” (where the artistes are expected to pay huge sums of money to be played).
Frankly, there are a bevy of talented lyricists out here which you do not know about because mainstream FM radio stations are playing only about 5% of them. What happens to the actual talented 95%?? The answer is, we are playing them! Now, you can tune in and catch Africa's dopest lyricists; from East to West Africa, from North (yes, them too) to Southern Africa. .
Last year, we started our flagship podcast “The Bionic Show” (Rap Edition) where we bring you all things Hiphop with a focus on Africa and "AFRICA 10" (Countdown show of the continent's dopest lyricists). We also have other shows that we’re collaborating with/airing; Chuck D’s (Public Enemy) PEPR and Erick Sermon’s Squad Streaming-produced “The Ryan Show”.
We are @RapRadioAfrica (Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Pinterest, Google+ and Tumblr). Check out our website; https://www.rapradioafrica.com & also see our "The Bionic Show" podcast on YouTube, Soundcloud & AnchorFM.
We beseech you to partner with us as we take this niche concept to greater heights. We prayerfully anticipate raising $20,000 with intent to use the funds to;
1. Set-up a podcast/radio studio for Rap Radio Africa to operate out of, to enable us run a more robust 24/7 internet radio station (and move out of my bedroom). Lol.
2. Launch more in-house content/shows.
3. Shoot all our visuals in-house.
4. Acquire better equipment for top quality (audio & visual) production.
5. Facilitate better apps; iOs app (as we already have an Android app).
The support will mean the world to two kinds of people; one is, the rapper, the emcee, that lyricist who has been frustrated by FM stations because he cannot/did not pay huge sums of money (Payola) to have his/her song played. The second person is, people like me, who had given up listening to radio for a long time due to the repetitive play of the same "few" songs over & over again. Now, with your help/donation/support, there's a go-to place for a continent's dopest lyricists.
Donations above $100 shall;
*Receive a customized merch (tee).
*Receive a 20% discount on all merch order/purchases.
*Have their name on our "Wall of Fame" in the studio when it's set-up.
*Get a shout-out on our weekly podcast, "The Bionic Show".
*Record & send a periodic live video showing the progress of the studio set-up.
We earnestly look forward to your patronage, ardent support and being instrumental to the organic growth of Hiphop in Africa.
Thank you.
