90 minutes of Primo in the mix on Radio 1. No talking just tunes and a lot of his own productions as he was on something of a roll at the time - Jay Z, MOP, Rakim, All City and Krumbsnatcha all feature. Thanks to Tobes for providing the tape of this one.
The Radio 1 Rap Show was hosted by Tim Westwood, and broadcast from London, England, UK. Also known as the 1FM Rap Show, it ran from 10 December 1994 to 14 September 2013. Similar to the previous show on Capital Radio, along with recognised groups, it featured a plethora of rap artists on independent labels making their way up the rap ladder. The general tone of the Radio 1 Rap Show was a tipping point in the general sound of rap and being on a national station, it introduced the culture to a new generation of listeners.
