Hip-Hop radio in Los Angeles received another entry into the market on Monday, when Styles Media officially assumed control of KZAB and re-launched pioneering Hip-Hop station KDAY.
Styles Media ditched KZAB’s Tropical format and will broadcast in KDAY’s original Hip-Hop format on the FM dial at 93.5.
The first song the new KDAY played was N.W.A’s “Straight Outta Compton.” Playing “Straight Outta Compton” as the first song was a symbolic gesture, as the station and its musical director, Greg Mack, were instrumental in launching the careers of N.W.A.
Dr. Dre and Yella even broadcasted their own mixshow as the “Wreckin’ Crew,” on the 24-hour a day station in 1983, which was originally located at 1580 on the AM dial.
"When we decided to build a great radio company we never dreamed we'd be launching a station in LA,” Styles Media Manager Catfish Collins said. “Our brand of radio is local, local, local. This is a unique opportunity to serve millions of people with a local product they can't get anywhere else."
